《家庭》

愿与大家共勉之:











每每重读这篇文章,总会让我泪流满面。阿牛说:“只有真心懂得付出的人,才知道何谓哭,为何哭”。能哭,是一种幸福。因为在哭过后,我们应该把世界看得更清楚。

如果时间不能让你忘记那些不该记住的人,不该记住的错,我们失去的将不只是岁月!

名句精华的感触(一)

老吾老以及人之老,幼吾幼以及人之幼。

这句名句看似简单,但有几个人可以真正的做到呢?你呢?你做到了吗?

世间人都有一个惯病:是我的就是宝,不是我的就只是一根草。

她们和她

从礼堂走出来,手里拿着试卷,这学期最后一张试卷。大家都在讨论着工业实习前的下一站旅行。而她就只有听的份儿。她向几位较好的朋友道别后,就默默地往宿舍的方向走去。脑海里,回想着三,四年前的画面。当时,她们和她一起住在学校宿舍。每当有早上的课,她们都会相约在宿舍的楼梯口,或是住在最高的她就得充当住在较低层,她的私人闹钟。在走去课堂的途中,她总喜欢蹦蹦跳跳的,塑造一个有朝气的早晨。因为她希望每一天的开始都是充满欢乐的。记忆犹新,但今非昔比。走着走着,脑海里不断的涌入那昔日的画面。路还是一样,但走在身边的却不是她们。她们只住了宿舍一年,就一起在学校附近租了一间房子。她们叫她一起,但因为金钱上的问题,她婉拒了。走在那熟悉的路上,她问自己:“我曾经后悔吗”?但,她有资格后悔吗?没有!所以她不能后悔,也没有,不会,不应该。但,经过了两年,她很清楚的知道,她没资格后悔,但她有权力感到惋惜。惋惜没有办法与她的好朋友们同住,没有办法享受那独一无二的大学生家庭,没有办法拥有那与一大班同窗们一起喝茶,熬夜,唱K等等的经验。但,她很珍惜她的两位室友。两位来自巴生的女孩。她们让她有“至少还有你”的感觉。

她想告诉她们,其实一直以来,她很希望能与她们一起出游。但,很多事情总会把她给拦了下来。她没后悔,没埋怨,因为她曾经尝试珍惜过。珍惜那相聚于图书馆的几小时,珍惜那彻夜傲谈的时光等等。她希望她们,Cyberia B3-6-9 和 MMU hostel HB3 Wing C R3002的她们快乐永远。

愉快的性格,是成功的靈魂!

以前,法國有一名總統名叫戈達,他一向是以「急智、機智」出名。一天,一位英國太太問他:「法國女人是不是真的比其他國家的女人更迷人?」
戈達毫不猶豫地說:「那當然囉!因為巴黎的女人二十歲時,美如玫瑰;三十歲時,也像情歌一樣迷人;而四十歲時,就更完美了。」

那位英國太太又問:「那麼四十歲以後呢?」

戈達總統微笑地說:「太太,妳知道嗎,一個巴黎女人,不論她幾歲,看起來
都不會超過四十歲啊!」

***

以前,有一個英俊的美國青年,住在一家渡假旅館中,但是他迷迷糊糊地走錯了,未敲門,就走進一位老太太的房間。

「對不起,對不起!我一定是走錯房間了!」這英俊青年抱歉地說。
「那倒也不一定!」老太太微笑地說;「只不過是遲了四十年而已啦!」

***

西方哲人說: 「愉快的性格,是成功的靈魂!」

的確, 幽默,是開自己的玩笑,和別人共享歡樂!而且,「詼諧、妙答、自嘲、機智」也都是 幽默的表現,能使人在壓力的生活中,充滿著歡愉。

而莎士比亞也說: 「甜中加甜,不見其甜;樂中加樂,才是大樂!」

是的,人際相處,天天抱持「喜樂之心」,就會使「平淡蔬菜」變成「豐盛筵席」,也會使「室內牆角」充滿燦爛陽光。

***

幽默,也是可以和世界溝通的橋樑!

有個婆婆,很會做人。
她的兒媳婚後就一起到美國攻讀學位,某天她到美國探看兒媳,發現兒子胖了,媳婦卻瘦了,心疼媳婦,說:「怎麼會瘦成這樣?」

年輕的媳婦一時忍不住,對婆婆吐苦水,抱怨先生對內懶惰不會做家事,對外連認路都會出差池,做什麼錯什麼。

其實,世界上沒有任何婆婆想聽媳婦抱怨兒子。大部分的婆婆都會忍不住替兒子說話,但是這位現代婆婆很聰明,她聽完媳婦抱怨後,只微笑說出一句話:「可是有一件事他做得最對。」
「什麼事?」
「就是娶了妳啊。」
媳婦聽了,啞口無言。

最高超的幽默術,是在正常人「應該要不高興」的時候,還能夠扭轉氣氛,輕輕的把已經點燃的火藥引信踩熄。很多人誤以為,當別人生氣時,沉默與忍耐是唯一途徑。

難過害怕的同時,也別忘了別人心裡的感受

這件事情是發生在普吉島的 ClubMed 渡假村,那時我在那裡擔任中英文的翻譯公關。有一天,我在大廳裡,突然看見一位滿臉歉意的日本工作人員,安慰著一位大約四歲的西方小孩,飽受驚嚇的小孩已經哭得精疲力盡了。

問明原因之後,我才知道,原來這位日本工作人員,因為那天小孩較多,而一時疏忽,在兒童的網球課結束後,少算了一位,而將這位澳洲小孩留在網球場。
等到她發現人數不對時,才趕快跑到網球場,將這位小孩帶回來,而小孩因為一個人在偏遠的網球場,而飽受驚嚇,哭得稀浬嘩啦的。現在澳洲媽媽出現了,看著自己的小孩哭得慘兮兮的。

如果你是這位媽媽,你會怎麼做?痛罵那位工作人員一頓?
還是很生氣的將小孩帶離開,再也不參加『兒童俱樂部』了?
還是直接向主管抗議?

都不是!

我親眼看見這位媽媽,蹲下來安慰四歲的小孩,並且很理性的告訴他:『已經沒事了,那位日本姊姊因為找不到你而非常的緊張難過,她不是故意的,現在你必須親親那位日本姊姊的臉頰,安慰她一下!』

當下我只見那位四歲的小孩,墊起腳跟,親親蹲在他身旁的日本工作人員的臉頰,並且輕輕的告訴她:『不要害怕,已經沒事了!』

當你感到難過害怕的同時,也別忘了別人心裡的感受?
當妳對朋友施予幫助,也別忘了不要傷到其它人。

不錯的文章喔 ..... 大家可以好好想想

~~ 正如每一個人的性格中

~~ 愛護一朵玫瑰, 並不是努力把它的刺根拔除
~~ 而是學習如何不被它的刺刺傷
~~ 還有 如何不讓自己的刺... 去刺傷心愛的人

宝贝计划 Rob B Hood





  人字拖(成龙饰)身手不凡,可惜错用地方,当上窃匪。他没有人生目标,终日沉迷赌博,与家人疏离。想不到一个小宝宝确令他惹来大祸,但也成为他人生的一大转机。
  宝宝是城中女首富(余安安饰)的唯一孙儿,也是人字拖、包租公(许冠文饰)和八达通(古天乐饰)组成的“爆窃三人组”偷回来的摇钱树,原本偷来只是转手交给黑帮老大。岂料,中间人因小事被捕入狱,宝宝被迫留在人字拖家中,从此人字拖和八达通的生活便给弄得天翻地覆,三个贼也在和宝宝相处的过程中渐渐被唤醒内心的良知。
  为了报复,黑帮老大遂派出杀手追杀,誓要抢回宝宝,宝宝恐将遭遇不测……
  For ne'er-do-well compulsive gambler Slipper (Jackie Chan), there's only one thing more fearsome than debtors at his doorstep - having to coax a crying baby. But what if the baby becomes his golden goose to fend off his debtors? Can he overcome his phobia of diapers, milk bottles, and cloying lullabies?
  Brought up in an impoverished family and kicked out of school in his teens, Slipper found himself on the wrong side of the tracks despite being nimble-footed and neat-fingered. Spurned by his family and hounded by debtors, he is goaded by his greedy landlord (Michael Hui) to collaborate in harebrained heists. Together with the agile and opportunistic Octopus (Louis Koo), the trio kidnaps BB, the grandson of a tycoon. However, due to some unexpected glitches, they fail to hand him over to the triad as planned.
  With the assistance of an angelic nurse Melody (Gao Yuanyuan), the landlord's baby-crazy wife (Teresa Carpio) and Octopus' teenage fan Pak Yin (Charlene Choi), the macho men discover the joys of Rob-B-Hood. When they realize that the triad is after both the ransom and BB's life, they decide to make their hostage their protégée. Cornered by cops and threatened by ferocious gangsters, this trio of incorrigible merry men embarks on a hair-raisingly dangerous and deliriously funny escapade to put BB safely back in his cradle.

勇敢地走下去

当一切都事与愿违,付出了很多,却一点收获也没有,只能对自己说:“勇敢地走下去吧!”希望明天的明天会更好。

Focus on Problem vs Focus on Solution

1) When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (Ink won't flow down to the writing surface).In order to solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.

And what did Russians do........................................
The Russians used a Pencil!!!

2) One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap box that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap
boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent whoopee amount to do so.

But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, did not get into complications of X-rays, etc but instead came out with another solution.

He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.

Moral of the story:
Keep It Simple.
Always look for simple solutions.
Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problem.
Learn to focus on solutions not on problems.

"If you look at what you do not have in life, you don't have anything"
"If you look at what you have in life, you have everything"

The law of the seed

Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree, each with ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds.

We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more trees?"

Nature has something to teach us here.

It's telling us: "Most seeds never grow. So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try more than once.

This might mean:
You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job.
You'll interview forty people to find one good employee.
You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, car, vacuum?cleaner, insurance policy, or idea. And you might meet a hundred acquaintances to find one special friend.

When we understand the "Law of the Seed", we don't get so disappointed. We stop feeling like victims. Laws of nature are not things to take personally. We just need to understand them - and work with them.

In a nutshell
Successful people fail more often. They plant more seeds.

When Things Are Beyond Your Control, Here's a recipe for permanent misery:
a) Decide how you think the world SHOULD be.
b) Make rules for how everyone SHOULD behave. Then, when the world doesn't obey your rules, get angry! That's what miserable people do!

Let's say you expect that:
Friends SHOULD return favors.
People SHOULD appreciate you.
Planes SHOULD arrive on time.
Everyone SHOULD be honest.
Your husband SHOULD remember your birthday.

These expectations may sound reasonable.
But often, these things won't happen!
So you end up frustrated and disappointed.

There's a better strategy. Have less demands.
Instead, have preferences! For things that
are beyond your control, tell yourself:
"I WOULD PREFER "A", BUT IF "B" HAPPENS, IT'S OK TOO!" This is really a game that you play in your head.
It is a shift in attitude, and it gives you more peace of mind. You prefer that people are
polite ... but when they are rude, it doesn't ruin your day. You prefer sunshine ... but rain is ok!

To become happier, we either need to
a) change the world, or
b) change our thinking.
It is easier to change our thinking!

Therefore...
It's not what happens to you that determines your happiness.
It's how you think about what happens to you

Cheers.

日出


“真的想 寂寞的时候有个伴 日子再忙 也有人一起吃早餐 虽然这种想法 明明就是太简单。。。”

还记得四年前的我特别喜欢这一首歌。当时,我的室友, Shu Yin,也因为这首歌,特地早早起身,陪我到MMU对面的店铺吃早餐。看着日出,以前的一点一滴犹如泉水,又再从那时光隧道涌入脑海。突然,想起了你,我的室友,Shu Yin。

A Friend to Remember

She is an outspoken girl. I know her during my studies in Alpha. We met each other at taekwondo training. Still fresh in my mind, she like to joke and play around. But she can be quite serious. YuenYee, YokeYin, she and I become so close during taekwondo camp. They are three in a group and I join them when I being arranged to stay under one tent with them. We cook together, hunt for water together. I can still remember, in one of our group photo, we act weird together. :) But it is really bad that I didn't able to keep a clear photo of her, not even one piece. All the photo I have with her are too small and can't really see her face. That is another reason for me to keep on shooting the photo of you, my fellow friends. I wish to keep everyone of you in my mind, or at least in my photo album. Every moment and everything happened. :)

She like to play Chinese Chess, which I like too. She ever promised me that she will play with me one day in future. But that become forever words from she. She are not breaking her promise. But she can never fulfil what she said. However, she will be my firend forever.

She is Wendy, who I miss so much.

Dean of FOE MMU


He is Prof Chuah, dean of Faculty of Engineering in MMU. I just so lucky that get a chance to take a shoot on him. May be everyone will think that "wah, dean leh, he should get a very high paid". If you are a good student who attend Dean's meeting every year, you will get a chance to listen to his experience in dealing with students. Sometime, you will found that there are still some students who are so rude. I believe that Prof Chuah has his own workload to be completed and not only to deal with students. Why not the students be more considerate and try to respect him? :) However, that is just a small group of students. From his back, I can feel that there are some problems running through his mind. :) How about you? What you can see from this photo? :)

Who I met on 18-9-2006


Traffic light. :D Before you scroll down, let's guess who are they?


Su Tsong and Michael. Someone out there ever call SuTsong as Sotong. :D However, both of them are quite close to each another. :) By the way, SuTsong is interested in buying digital camera. Anyone have any suggestion to him? :) Well, for me, the Nikon camera I own currently is not that bad. Before this, Mr Fox told me that 3x zoom is not really enough. I disagree with him. But now, I change my stand and feel quite agree with him. :) :D However, if you are just want to use the camera in shooting during outing. Any camera will do. :) But a few question you can ask yourself before you buy one. How much zoom you want it to have? Try to buy the camera with analog zoom rather than digital zoom. What is the user review you can found online? Do you want a purely camera or a camera + video cam? Erm... I think that's all I can think of now. :)


Yao Hui. He is one of my Alpha year group mate. I know him all because of Han Lun.


Ah Lei and Eunice. :D


Li Wei and Alan. Li Wei is a gal who are quite pretty actually. But seen like my hand is not that steady after I use the zoom. :) Nevermind, there is always a next time shot for LiWei. :D

Photos on 17-09-2006

Today is a cloudy day. Cloudy day always make me down. But the camera in my hand will cheer me up again. :)



A tree to be remember. :) Tree just like our parent. When we are kids, they protect us. I truly respect my friend who can still accompany their parent out for shopping or for other purposes. Salute to you, if you are one of them. :)


A condo. Using Digital zoom in for this photo taking. Well, quite satisfy with the output. :)


Macro mode. Not really satisfy with this. A bit blur. :) When you use zoom in, you must have a very steady hand. :)


The flower. Macro mode without flash.


Macro mode with flash.


MacDonald. The place I never visit before until I come to MMU. :D Believe it or not? :)



Sue Anne say I scared the dog. The dog look so pity. Sue suggest me to adopt the dog. But, I think it is too early to think so. :) I didn't have my own house. :) How if I adopt it in hostel? :D Mission impossible. :D

After photo shooting, before the sky started to cry, I better have my dinner before go back. :)


Mamak restaurant. I like the nasi lemak and maggi goreng here. :D

[Joke] Lipstick

According to a news report, a certain private school recently was faced with a unique problem.

A number of middle school girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day, the girls would put them back.

Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man.

She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the maintenance man who had to clean the mirrors every night.

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.

He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
