Happy chinese new year! Huat ah! ^^
The dragon come too fast to kick the rabbit away. Its another new year again, for chinese.
For this cny, everything is in a rush.
Yet i feel lucky to have this cny break so soon. A small break from the super tight school-days-schedule.
Everything went too fast and too complex since 1st of january. Hopefully after this lunar new year, everything will go smooth and in an acceptable speed. :D
The feng shui said this year is a good year for those who born in the rooster's year (me! ). Wish that its not nonsence, i seriously believe that those are true. XD really need lots of luck and good fortune for 2012. Its a tough year after all.

新年快来恭喜发财龙年行大运

尊嚴作者：李家同

老楊是我們銀行裡的首席分析師。

在總經理要做重大決定以前，老楊一定要給總經理作一個相當徹底的分析。

分析永遠在於這個決定的得和失。

所謂得，當然是可能的得，所謂失，也當然是可能的失。

老楊在分析的時候，會用很多數學，可是他在做報告的時候，卻不會強調數學，而用非常直觀的方法來解釋他的分析。

為什麼他的分析一直受到重視，主要的原因在於他的資料非常正確而完整。

如果我們要在某個地點設立分行，老楊一定會知道這個地區居民的收入、職業等等。

我們有時會奇怪老楊如何能在如此短的時間裡得到資料，據他說，他其實是用抽樣調查的方法。

據我所知，他的統計學學得非常好，這使得他的資料得以非常完整。

因為老楊常常要收集資料，他養成了隨時隨地觀察的習慣。

有一次，我們在一家百貨公司一樓的咖啡館喝咖啡，一個小時下來，他告訴了我這百貨公司情況不妙，因為提袋率太低了。

果真不久，這家百貨公司傳出了財務危機的消息。

更有一次，我們一齊到國外出公差，他又表演了一手，他猜那個城市的收入是多少，事後查證，他的確猜得很準。

據他說，他是看街上汽車的牌子以後估算出來的。老楊一直是一個很快樂的人，這也很自然。

他的工作得心應手，薪水非常高，他從來沒有感到什麼壓力，因為他僅僅負責分析而已。

最後決策的決定總是別人做的。何況他的分析向來非常有用。

前一陣子，老楊忽然顯得有點心情不好。他過去很喜歡講笑話，現在比較少講了。

有人和他聊天，他也會發呆，好像沒有聽到妳在講什麼。

有一天我到他的辦公室去找他，談完公事以後，忽然發現他的牆上掛了一個鏡框，框內衹有一張白紙，紙上寫了阿拉伯字的68，這個數字代表什麼呢？我當時百思不得其解。

老楊看出了我的困惑，他立刻叫我不要離開，他要解釋給我聽是怎麼一回事。

他說前些日子，他到印度去出差。住在一家旅館裡，他住的房間有落地玻璃窗，可以看到街景，他注意到對街有一個小乞丐，來來回回地向行人求乞。

他的老毛病又犯了,他開始計算平均這個小乞丐在經過多少次求乞以後，可以得到一次反應，因為絕大多數的路人是不理會他的，一個小時以後，他得到了答案，這個小乞丐平均要乞討68次以後，才有一次成功(因為過路人也窮)。

老楊得到了這個答案，心中難過至極。因為他這一下可以完完全全地瞭解做小乞丐的滋味了。

他想，如果我每次求職，要寫68封求職信，才會有一封回應，已經非常沮喪了，這位小乞丐卻終其一生，都要在街上向人乞討。

老楊想，這種生活，他一天都受不了，如果要過幾十年如此沒有尊嚴的生活，他是無法想像的。

老楊當天晚上睡不著覺，他想起有人用數羊來使自己入眠，因此他就數起羊來，可是他每次數到68，就數不下去了。

68忽然變成了一個永遠不能到達的境界。

他從頭再來，依然到不了68。所以老楊在床上醒了好久，才能入睡。

老楊的經驗使他覺得人人都應當在平時就假設自己是一個小乞丐，因為唯有這樣才能體會到乞丐沒有尊嚴的痛苦。

他的兒子才參加『飢餓三十』回來。老楊卻告訴他，他應該虛擬實境，假設自己是一個乞丐。

他的兒子試了一次，發現做乞丐的痛苦並不在於感到飢餓，而是感到個人毫無尊嚴可言。

老楊已經不能去豪華飯店吃飯了。對於任何奢侈的東西，他都失去了興趣。

他常常去一家專門照顧窮苦老人的單位做義工，有人曾經看到過他做義工的情形。

有一位同事說他從未看過這種態度的義工，我問他是怎麼一種態度，他想了半天，最後結結巴巴地說，老楊不是普通地在做義工服務而已，他是在侍奉。

我懂得這是因為老楊知道窮人最需要的不是麵包而已，而是尊嚴。

老楊當義工時的態度，無非是要使窮人感到尊嚴。

自從老楊開始侍奉窮人以後，他自掏腰包改善了很多設備。

老人吃飯的碗換成了比較好看的磁碗，是淡藍色的，茶具也換了。最使老人感到高興的是新的床單和被套。

我們通常會說我們應該同情窮人，要對窮人有慈悲心。

老楊顯然在告訴我們，我們該尊敬窮人，因為他們最缺乏的就是別人對他的尊敬。

這種想法，來自一個數字：68。

老楊常常強調數據的重要性，他是對的，因為這個數字改變了他的一生。

編者：

李教授的文章向來見解獨特，這一回依然如此，一個簡單的數字「６８」，竟然能衍生出一番人生哲理，文中讓我有一種覺醒。

過去一直將慈善事視為一種同情的心在看待，然受接濟的人的尊嚴呢？卻沒有一同並入腦海裡一起付諸實踐，總以為幫助別人是該作的，對方也必然會欣喜與感恩；但那份尊嚴是否有可能在我們沒有加以正視下，不知不覺地傷害被幫助的人呢？

助人在於心，尤其那份確確真誠的心實為重要，將心比心哪怕衹是微薄的扶助，對方必能感受到溫暖。

尊重及是接受他人為一個完整而獨立的個體，擁有自己的感受與經驗
尊重是雙方站在同樣的高度溝通。

from the above picture, can u guess what it is?

hmph. from the first look, i thought it is just a normal camera.

but actually, its a POLAROID CAMERA.

yes. polaroid.

what's so special about this polaroid that makes me wanna own it?
usually when we take photos with polaroid we are so nervous that if we din posed prefectly, the photo printed out will like ruin and GONE. ish. the instant film is EX leh!
BUT !

this polaroid actually has a LCD screen and you CAN PREVIEW YOUR PHOTO BEFORE YOU DECIDED TO PRINT IT OUT.

cool right? hah!

i actually read about this polaroid camera on one of my fave blogger, from taiwan.

then from there, i linked to Yahoo! and found more info about this camera.

too bad i cannot read korean, if not i can read all the detail specs of this camera. =(

to Yahoo!

on the page, its show that the price of this polaroid camera is 9200元 (Taiwan new dollar) so i go for a currency converter.

OOPS!

not included the instant film and the postage all the way from Taiwan to Malaysia.

*cry die*

hands are hold together, shoes should tie together too

2012-01-07T23:29:00.003+08:00

life is full of tolerance. sometimes, we should think in other's perspective, not just think of your own.

i happened to found that, sometimes, your toleration would make other think that he/she has all the rights. that's awful, very.

to maintain a lasting relationship, tolerance plays a big role. so do loyalty and honesty.

but now my point of view would stick to loyalty, because this is a MUET speaking practice. and that's my task as a candidate B.

so i'm trying to confess my ideas over here. =D

i secretly found out the obstacles of speaking *typing* the real feeling over here is lesser than in communication or papers. haha

today, my topic is about friendship. friendship is one of the important essential in our life. we all have friends. yet we know it is hard to maintain a long lasting friendship. somehow, i think that loyalty is the most important quality to do so.
to be loyal to a friend, there must be the presence of faithfulness. as a friend, you should always be there when your friend needs you. always give your mental, physical and spiritual support selfish-less to your friend. that will helps in maintaining a lasting friendship. Share your ideas and feelings sincerely with your friend. there musn't be a wall that can hide something behind in a relationship.
another way of showing your loyalty is no betrayal. betrayal is the worst as it could destroy all the linking in a relationship. as trust is a very important essential between humans, betrayal is the thing that can kill it. so, dun back-stab your friend or be a double-face person. warning! try not to do so to a friend, unless you are willing to put a bad ending to that relationship.
in conclusion, loyalty is the most important quality to maintain a long lasting friendship. to be loyal, we need to stay faithful and dun betray.
thank you.

PS : that's obviously not enough for a 2 minutes presentation. oops!

this is tougher than i thought

2012-01-05T18:20:00.000+08:00

i doesn't have good time for these first two school reopen days. a lot shocking information are throwing towards me.

originally i thought this 2012 will be only studies and STPM. but there's more behind.

as a 18++ years old youth [ 86 days to be officially 19. oops! ] , i feel like i'm being threaten like primary students in school.

i'm very curious about how the other students in penang-most-famous-super-strict school survived from those ridiculous limits and unfair rules.

izzit setting more limits and having more controls over the students are the last way you can think to increase the school disciplinary status?

i can understand that the school are doing what they think will bring benefits to us, they want us to stay 100% focus on studies. but PLEASE NOT TOO MUCH.

we are just like air. no matter how much force you apply to compress us, there's still a limit. we still have our original volume and mass, we won't change. and we MAY rebounce.

this is a different generation now. old rules will not work anymore. but reinforcement of old rules and make it looks like new rules will not work also. there may have some good effects on the beginning, but there will have negative impacts coming soon.

believe or not, the disciplinary status will not be better at all.
*yes, i'm cursing it to be worst. after all, its my last year and this time i really dun have ANY chances to go back to that school as a student and let them rule after 2012.

luckily i met these pretty ladies to accompany me for this tough year in school.

sometimes, i feel that i got very less friends, but luckily these friends are very close to me. that's the thing that i appreciate.

and i appreciate the stable relationship i'm having now.
maybe i dun have what you proud of, but i'm proud of what i have now. =)

wishes for the day : hope the coming days i will get used to the wake-up-super-early and climb-many-flights-of-stairs daily routine. and please, my dear textbook, dun speak alien language to me, i will ended up very sleepy and lost my patience.

is the sky going to be super blue and super clear?

2011-12-31T23:35:00.004+08:00

i'm blogging again, finally.

since june, until now. it's like a dream. in a flash, time flies.

*ish! why its the same topic again thats gonna appear in my blog?

i'm a boring girl. yea. because i'm repeating and repeating almost the same content again. guess this is the reason why i found 2011 so boring. *oops. which means my one and only 18 is so boring.

sorry! chia jia tian! *bow 90 degree to myself.

i'm not a time catcher. i just let them slips and then regret again and again about the same thing.

if 2012 is the year of the end of the world, what is the last thing that i will do?

interesting question. i shall use this question to motivate myself every morning i wake up.

will this motivation be another failure?

looking forward to see.

will i be a new me? or remain the same old me?

anyway, although i feel that 2011 is absolutely not a good year for me, i still wanna thanks for those who love me, every me, every moment and sincerely like me for who i am.

2012, fearful to face it. i know it would be a tough year for me.

i shall wake from the sweet dreams and honeymoon-attitude.

AND FACE IT! THE REALITY!

i shall survive to 2013 then laugh out loud watching the movie, 2012, with my love ones.

how you think of it, how you take it as, how you live with it

2011-06-09T20:17:00.001+08:00

The blog post title say it all. :D it just a self motivated post. teehee
well previously i was sort of down and emo about my life. i dun even really know why. maybe its because i m still very doubtful about my choice. anyway, still sort of doubtful now actually. but i realised this is making my life dull and boring, which i dun like. after so many days, i decided to get myself motivated.i really hate it when i found myself in emo more and more frequent yet i can do nothing about it.
this noon i was working on my essay for muet. the title and the content has nothing to do about motivation actually. but i simply get motivated by one sentence, my own sentence. this is, well i dunno how to describe. it really matters on how i live with it, live with what i has where i m and what i m facing.
to be honest, i really miss those old days, those people, those stuff, in the PAST. i know i cant go back to those past but i keep on flash back and make myself sad. this is some sort of self-torturing. yet i m repeating it over and over again. i dun wish that i can forget, i dun wan those past to be forgotten. what i wish was i can hold on those past but not drag drown in it.
i m motivating myself here, by writing these. blog is actually a very good place for me to get motivated. when i write (should be type in this case. hahha) i simple let my thoughts flow out and lighten up my mood. this is pne of the reason i din quit blogging. although i hadnt blog for many days dy, should say for a month. haha
in diary, people wrote: i shall write again tomorrow. but in my blog: i shall blog again, someday when i feel i like to. :)

from chabos to laopos

2011-05-02T22:27:00.006+08:00

sigh. i miss them. ♥

We started from strangers to classmates to chatting mates to gangs, then laopos. step by step, no skipping, tripping...a little.

一个女人等于十只鸭子, this is the best description for us. I supposed laopos will agree with me. i forgotten who said this at first, but those group chatting moments are the best memories of mine in the my form 5 year. Our chat topics mostly on beauty, relationships, online shopping, gossips and etc. Normal topics for girls, but we can make it endless. Ridiculous. I remember we can chat for a few period, non-stop. Really miss those moments, very.

now, graduated from secondary school. Each of us heading to new path either alone or doubled. Last hang out together was on 27 march, from day to night. I wonder when will be our next hang out.

hui yuan (wei yan), currently study in Disted Stamford College, A-Levels. I dunno where will she go after this. hmmm.

shu ting (siok teng, ahma), i prefer calling her lst XP, now in INTI College, taking diploma in E&E. She's going overseas after that. *sadly sad. But she's back to Penang, i'm pretty sure about this. =)

laulau & jitnee, both going TARC taking accounting. Well, wish them all the best as tomorrow will be their first day in college. For what i know, first week will be orientation week. Girls, dun be shy lah, go mix up with those college mates bah!

belle & sylvia. Belle belle going KL soon, taking Image Consultant courses. hmph. Guess she need to style up her personal image first bah. XP Sylvia, still not confirmed with her where she's going. Last news i received was form six, same as me. =)

although we have different paths to go on, different challenges awaiting, more strangers to met, pray hard we will still stay close, stay pretty, stay happy and healthy.

what's happening

2011-05-01T22:52:00.007+08:00

that picture speaks everything for me, for these days.

its MAY! yea, MAY. which means i had been staying myself away from studies for 4 months plus. it's a good thing or a bad thing? i cannot judge it. haha

anyway, this super damn long holiday gonna come to an end.

previously i hope so much to end this holiday fast, but now, i hope it could last longer.

what's coming next? it's a gamble. yea, a gamble. Time, Heart, Mind, Super Duper Hard work involved, hmph, what else? i dunno, cannot really list them out.

well, still doubting am i on the right bus heading to the RIGHT destination. or will this bus bring me to MY destination. it's a common situation, for people who just made a hard decision yet still not 100% sure about it. that's an excuse i use to keep myself calm and dun be freak out.

the new life is coming. i can see it.

soon, pretty soon.

i hope i can dump all my laziness away, i always wish so. but from my past, i always failed to do so. and now the laziness is getting more serious than days before.

just like a cancer cell, a small bit, than spreads carefully, killing all the good cells around, spreading...

hmph. good description? close enough to describe LAZY?

~~chemistry, physics, maths~~. i thought i leave you behind, but now you're chasing me back to you.

well, SMILE. and see where will this bus bring me to. =)

dun kick me fall backwards on the starting point.

the roses are dead, but not us

Easter Sunday

2011-04-24T21:55:00.005+08:00

went over strait quay today, with family. =)

while on the way, the kids were so excited about the easter eggs. argh. fully energetic kids.

it's the last day of the function, you can see the date from the poster.

and we're very 'lucky' to found ONE egg, in one random bushes, with the help of the security guard.

i know it's kinda stupid when you're in a game, then you cheat by approaching the security guard and ask : do you know nearby here got the eggs or not? can tell me where? opps, yea. i'm stupid. we actually asked, and the security guard was too kind or maybe he thinks these sweating heavily kids were too poor, he pointed a random bushes and say : over there.

=.= hahahaha!

the kids were like : hooraayy! we found one, lets look for more! then started to run all over strait quay under the big hot sun. =.=|||

charlie brown cafe.

i'm pretty sure this cafe is for photo-taking instead of having something to put in your mouth. hahaha. allow me to say so, because the cafe is way too cute! XD

snoopy snoopy snoopy~ ( i'm not a snoopy fan btw, but still get attracted. )

and second thing i'm pretty sure about is : this blue mini cooper that we parked next to in the carpark belongs to the boss of the Charlie Brown's Cafe.

yea, i'm 100% sure about this without verification from others, it's too obvious it was!

take a look on the number plat : ~~PJT~~. grhh!!!!

PS : photo taken by my phone's camera, 5megapixel. the normal one looks okay. but for the special effect one, hmph, not so good.

111days of rest, a longer journey to go on

2011-04-21T23:01:00.007+08:00

hey, after 111days of quiting from blogging, since my last post on 31 of december 2010, i'm back, officially.

guess i will still stick with blogger untill, someday when i finally doesnt felt like blogging anymore. that would be years later, i supposed.

blogging is a really good thing, for me, somehow. not to show off what i have or what i had done, just to write down every happy and sad i had in my life. and a stage for me to express my feelings whether high or low. yea, the place to let go my emo feelings. haha

i would appreciate if you keep reading whats in my ordinary and randomly life.

btw, i didn't deleted my previous 522 blog post away. that's my past, i won't delete them forever, i swear.

the past cannot be changed, but you can control your future, your tomorrow.

instead of keeping them in here, i had export them to another site.

http://gorgeous-purplelicious-ed.blogspot.com/

so now, in my early 18th's, it's another journey to move on.

with loves one, besties, friends i had, and friends that i haven met. and also, those random strangers.

well, wish me have another memorable year. =)

and i will start blogging about what's happening on the previous 111days. hope i didn't miss out any important date.

PS : i kinda like this new blogskin, more. although not much difference from the old one.

PS : do notice the previous post, the time and date. it's my birthday! the prefect timing.

officially 18

2011-04-01T00:00:00.003+08:00

yea, 18th.

wish things will be just the way i wish. XD
