轉帖 幸福心地動著

偶而,總是會在什麼場合見到讓人心神一動的人,在視線裡晃動著,晃動著,直到散會離去。

  幾天後,你可能忘了,但也可能會再想起令你心動的蛛絲馬跡,然後,印象愈來愈淡,淡到你忘記為什麼會為這樣的一個人動心。
  生命的能量在一次又一次的心動中被喚醒,然後,也在一次又一次不得不的遺忘中老去。

  年輕的時候,心動是一種煎熬,心念一動,總想有些行動,不是他,就該是我,於是,生命就如此拉鋸著。中年之後,心動是一種享受,心念還會動,是因為這個世間總有讓人感覺美好的人,也讓我知道,呵呵,原來自己還是這麼容易被打動。

  比較不那麼計較「然後呢」的豁達其實是另一種勇敢,既放縱又收斂,既乾脆又纏綿:放縱的是想像,收斂的是企圖;乾脆的是意志,而纏綿的啊,是我們細膩的心思。

  大概是年紀到了,漸漸知道如何善待這顆因為生命裡做不到的事、得不到的人而糾結難解的心——解不開就讓它解不開,只是對著它看。對於心動這件事情,學著保持一種敏感而紓解的狀態。

  有的時候,刻意延長心動發酵的時間,然後好整以暇等待它成為生命裡極不重要的偶然,慢慢滑過生命;一待機緣成熟,便花點心思栽育成一株奇花異果,隨手帶著上路。我已經不太會強求想把瞬間的心動轉化成永恆的承諾;也不再強

迫著要把每一個當下複製為一生。

  年輕的時候,總以為最好不動心,不是說相思成災?但這實在強人所難。中年之後,知道自己根本不是(或者還不是)這樣有慧根的人,便從心動的最前線退了下來,在安全的大後方繼續神經元的漫遊。其中的關鍵是,積極與隨緣之間的調節,懂得去摸索出自己的安全閥。

  王國維說:「偶開天眼窺紅塵,可憐身是眼中人。」因為我還是相信,重複塵世煩惱或釩K是凡夫俗子生命的滋味所在;對有情世界的戀戀不捨,出自人的本能但也隱含著某種未知的福諭,所以,我總把「憐」字改成「幸」字,在紅塵中翻騰著,自覺是一種福分。

  於是,便安心地繼續心動著。偶然遇到讓人沒法兒從心所欲不踰矩的人,就當作是一種生命的犒賞囉,畢竟,不良中年闖禍有限吧。

  其他的,就遠遠地、幸福地心動著:無所求,也無所不求;心有所動,心也未動。

The Perfect Stranger

'Time flies...'
'In a blink of an eye...'

It surprised me when I realised that today is actually the first day of my class. Whoa.. this is the 12th day of my stay in Sydney since I touched down from the *blood sucking dracula* MAS aeroplane on the 17th of July.



I know I owe most of you guys an apology. I have been completely out of reach from my friends, due to limited internet access and stuff. Well, dun blame Sydney. There are wireless access everywhere. But my mind somehow will perform the currency conversion ( $AUD to MYR) whenever i looked at the price.

And for those who are not informed bout this, i was the lucky person to be awarded the Golden Jubilee Scholarship, covering my two years tuition fee in University of New South Wales (UNSW).

So, here i am.

First of all, allow me to present you my humble room. Well, it's kind of messy and my things are piling everywhere. For those who know me, i guess being organised doesn't suit me after all. Baa.. who cares as long as i tidy my room weekly or whenever a pretty girl visits.

My computer table and study table. Since this is my first week, not much of studying for me. Anyway it's winter now, i feel like hibernating all the time.
Note: the table lamp is on 24/7 acting as my heater wahahaha!



My pile of mess. Bags, fruits (still same old apple and banana), dirty clothings, dustbin and two drawers. Trust me, you would not want to know what is in the drawer.

This is my all time favourite!
My two single bed > king size bed.
I have all the freedom to laze around, rolling all over the place.
And a perfect place to *ahem* since it can accommodate more than 1 person.

Well, i am paying $250 per week. The rent includes utility bills and meals (breakfast and dinner) from monday to friday. I have been saying this all the time, IT IS PRICEY!
Internet comes at $7.50 per week. And guess what, heater will be provided at additional cost of $10 per week. I rather wear 3 layers of clothes than paying the extra money for the god-damn-i-miss-u heater.

Next on, my uni.

I am now doing Mechatronics Engineering. It is placed under the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering. I guess I had to say bye bye to the electronics stuff. I am enrolled into year 2 session 2 and expect to graduate in 3 years time ( The two and half year thingy is for the old syllabus, now we are in the new syllabus).

Some photos taken in UNSW. I apologise for the lack of photo. My camera has been with my parents until last Saturday. I will make up for it in the next post.


I like this photo, especially with the clock tower and the green lawn.

The building with the UNSW sign is the library. We are standing in the library lawn i think. I still suck at recognising places.

By the way, met me introduce to you Jonathan and Claire. Jonathan is Singaporean studying Electrical Engineering, undergrad. Single and still available. Claire is Malaysian taking up postgraduate course (Master in Telecommunication i think). Hmm, not sure available or not, forgot to ask. Please remind me next time.

And umm, that's all for my uni. The orientation week was fun, especially the part where we get free food. Got to know some friends from Penang Inti and met another two Golden Jubilee Scholars. I seem to be the worst fella having enroling problem.

Now, let us enjoy ourselves in the city.

Well, Sydney has pretty nice weather, except the fact that i do not enjoy winter at all. It is so COLD. It seldom rains here, but you better pray that it does not rain. Everytime when it rains, i have to put on my glove and hide myself in the bed. Basically, i am hibernating.

Apart from that, Sydney is a nice place to walk about. The fresh air and cold breeze is something you cannot enjoy in KL. You can walk miles here not feeling tired at all, partly due to the cool weather and of course the money factor again! So far, i have only been to Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, Fish Market and Star City.


Circular Quay is where the Sydney Opera House is. I would say it is a nice plan. It has magnificent sea view and the Harbour Bridge looks fantastic.


This is the Harbour Bridge that i was mentioning. Can you see the arch of the bridge? Well, you can pay $189 to climb it, or $220 during peak season for adults. I would say it is definitely worth paying, especially you get to enjoy it with your gf during sunset/dawn/night.

No, this picture is taken in Australia. But it is nice. Again, you have to pay to enter the garden. So i end up taking photos from outside haha.


Bla Bla Bla.. Photo taken somewhere in Darling Harbour.

Say Hi to Jesus LOL. Pretty creative work huh?

This church is beautifully lit during the night. Somehow, it reminds me of the 1980s castle-like building where the king and queen stays. As for this, Jesus is the one inside. You can try moving the buddha statue in, but umm.. prepare to face the consequences haha.

And lastly you can have a look at this..


Oh yea, before i forget, my new name is Jayson. According to Jonathan, it somehows rhymes with my chinese name (家陞; 升 is the new mandarin character of 陞). Got to thanks Claire for the new name LOL.

So.. what do you think of Sydney?

Care to fly here to visit me?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something off topic.

You probably wonder what i have been doing for the past few days..

1. Shopping (this is the first time ever i take the initiative to go shopping)
2. Cleaning (again, this is the first time i clean up my room)
3. Day dreaming (how i wish i am in malaysia)
4. Worrying to settle my meals
5. Thinking of ways to lure my housemate out of their room
6. Feeling homesick

Changes that i want to see in myself..

1. Be more sociable
2. Study hard and smart
3. Improve my communication skill
4. Treat everyone as if they are my friend =)

Well, guess i have no choice but to ensure that i fulfill my own promise. To my friends, keep in touch! I will be back in CNY lol. Send me the graduation photo, or if possible blog it here! I missed it T_T

And to my parents, I thank you whole heartly for all you have done for me. I really appreciate it and i love you.

Oh ya, not to forget my friend Kok Fye aka Kif who has been helping me all along. He is a really nice guy. Thank you. I'll promote his blog as a sign of gratitute..
Kif - http://4-4-4-4.blogspot.com/

And to my friend kah howe too.. thanks for showing me around Sydney!

Till then, wish me best of luck!

ps: the long post is to make up for the lack of post =P. Smart leh!

生日的那一天....

二十一年前的七月九日,我在这世上诞生了......

二十一年后的今天,我和朋友们在KLCC里渡过了华人所谓的“少年”的大关....

说真的,不知从何时起,对于生日的感觉只是老了一岁,也没有什么想要去玩的感觉.....

只想和朋友们聚集在一起而已。

这次的生日,很特别,因为他们送了一样很“棒”的礼物。

然而,

让我感动的事情是,芬姐和美萍姐还记得我的生日。很感动。

星期一,当我接到她的电话时,感到很惊讶,怎么她会从新加玻打来?

我说:“芬姐,你最近去了哪里喔,一直没见到你...."

跟她聊了一阵之后,她说她还在做工,只有星期五才能再打给我。

我和她说:”好啊。我等到星期五再和你联络,我会想你滴”
(我跟她都是酱子说话的)

星期一的晚上,另一通电话打来.....

是美萍姐打来的,她说我回柔佛时没去找她,还说我没良心.... -.-

我也答应了会去参加她的婚礼(她说在十月,时间过得真快,哎)。

通话结束之后,我想了很久......人与人之间的感情到底是什么???


芬姐和美萍姐是我在三年前左右认识的干姐,

虽然很少见面。可是她们和我之间的情谊确十分深.....

有种想见他们的冲动(好几个月没见她们了).....


在这里,我想说:

有时候,你想念一个人,可是那个人不会对你有任何的挂念。

有时候,有个人在想念你,可是你却对他/她冷淡。

人与人之间,总是存在这样的情况。

连情侣也不例外。

虽然,你对那个你关心的人付出不少,可是他/她不会察觉到。

虽然,有个人一直为你默默的付出,可是你觉得他/她的付出是出于自然或应该的。

只是,你,或者他们值得付出这些吗?

就像你的父母,为你付出了这么多,你有为他们付出多少?

就像你的朋友,为你赴汤蹈火,你有为他们付出过吗?

就像你的爱人,为你奔波劳累,你有为他/她着想过吗?

他们有千百个理由不必关心你,确只有一个理由让他们为你付出。

只因为你是他们关心的人,只因为爱。

他们愿意为你付出那么多,为你做些愚蠢至极的事.....

多关心身边的人,让他们知道在你的心里有着他们的存在。

因为人的心是需要被关怀的。

在这里向生日那天陪同我的朋友 (kok siang, kia sheng , wenqi, shin chan, yu hung,
ming jin, ch'ng tat, weng sheng)说声谢谢。让我渡过了难忘的一天。

也感谢我的朋友及家人记得我的生日。

那天吹蜡烛许愿的时候,我许了三个愿望:

1)希望能讨中cradle

2)希望周围的人都健健康康的生活

3)秘密

Fatty Panda's Birthday?

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

Not Ah Po(panda) birthday but President Cheng birthday lo...LOL!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY dude! Anyway, these two person's face look similiar...I mean the face shape.LOL!!!

Chaos

Nikola Tesla


Who the hell is this guy?

That was the first question that strike my mind. I was there pondering for hours wondering why on earth did Chia Loon mentioned this guy yesterday. Are they blood related or something?

Hmm.. Maybe they are gay or something???

Well, let's just leave that question for now LOL.
____________________________________________________________________

Back to the title -- Nikola Tesla.

A brief introduction.
Nikola Tesla is the father of AC current. Among his significant contributions are AC, AC polyphase system, AC motor and researches done on electromagnetism. There are even more to it, but it will take few paragraph for that.

Thank god he won the 'War of Current' eh? Thomas Edison, representing the DC current and George Westinghouse represents the AC current fought to supply America with their own power system. Westinghouse eventually emerged as the winner and it is said that it was a war won for the progress of both America and the world.
Thanks to him, now we are able to enjoy long distance AC power transmission and pay less for our electric bill.

Bla bla bla..

Anyway, that just a minor part of his biography. I am just too lazy to type anymore. For further information, please refer to http://www.teslasociety.com/biography.htm


Nikola Tesla shall be known as.. THE GENIUS WHO LIT THE WORLD

__________________________________________________________________


Let's get back to the previous question, shall we?

So, why did Chia Loon mention this fella?

And I finally got it today. It was Wenqi who suggested it. The reason is because.... they share the same birthday. SWEAT!

Well, at least i summarise the whole thing up for u Chia Loon. Now you owe me one lunch.


One question.. Do you think he looks like Nikola Tesla??? I doubt so hahahaha..




As for his birthday present, allow me to present THIS

Well, what can i say?

Happy Birthday!

For those who happen to drop by here, just wish him happy birthday will you?

欠打的小白兔

有一只小白兔快乐地奔跑在森林中, 

在路上它碰到一只正在卷大麻的长颈鹿, 

小白兔对长颈鹿说:“长颈鹿长颈鹿,你为什么要做伤害自己的事呢? 

看看这片森林多么美好,让我们一起在大自然中奔跑吧!” 

长颈鹿看看大麻烟,看看小白兔,于是把大麻烟向身后一扔, 

跟着小白兔在森林中奔跑. 

后来它们遇到一只正在准备吸古柯碱的大象, 

小白兔对大象说:“大象大象,你为什么要做伤害自己的事呢? 

看看这片森林多么美好,让我们一起在大自然中奔跑吧!” 

大象看看古柯碱,看看小白兔,于是把古柯碱向身后一扔, 

跟着小白兔和长颈鹿在森林中奔跑. 

后来它们遇到一只正在准备打viper的狮子, 

小白兔对狮子说:“狮子狮子,你为什么要做伤害自己的事呢? 

看看这片森林多么美好,让我们一起在大自然中奔跑吧!” 

狮子看看针筒,看看小白兔,于是把针筒向身后一扔, 

冲过去把小白兔狠揍了一顿. 

大象和长颈鹿吓得直发抖:”你为什么要打小白兔呢? 

它这么好心,关心我们的健康又叫我们接近大自然.” 

狮子生气地说:”这个混蛋兔子,每次嗑了摇头丸就拉着我 

像白痴一样在森林里乱跑.”

三个不同性格的人,三个不同的传说

三个不同性格的人,在"渊"缘巧合之下,凑在一起了...

他们有着不同的背景,不同的想法,只因为就读同一所学院。让他们黏在一块...

他们一同走过不同的经历,一起走过风风雨雨。

光阴似箭,两年时光流逝而去。他们走上了不同的路.....

一个拿到了澳州奖学金,准备到澳州开始为他的梦想展翅高飞。

一个在为他的学业打拼,希望能为自己的未来铺条好路。

一个在为他的理想努力,相信着他的理想能够实现。

三个不同的传说,三个不同的故事,就从这三个人开始。
