生 命 的 保 存 期 限

This is an article forworded by a friend to my email. I found that this article is meaningful. Just want to share this article to you all. Hope you all enjoy.

印度有一位知名的哲學家,天生一股特殊的文人氣質,不知迷死多少女人。某天,一個女子來敲他的門,她說:「讓我作你的妻子吧!錯過我,你將再也找不到比我更愛你的女人了!」哲學家雖然也很中意她,但仍回答說:「讓我考慮考慮!」事後,哲學家用他一貫研究學問的精神,將結婚和不結婚的好、壞所在,分別條列下來,才發現,好壞均等,真不知該如何抉擇?於是,他陷入長期的苦惱之中,無論他又找出了什麼新的理由,都只是徒增選擇的困難。最後,他得出一個結論:人若在面臨抉擇而無法取捨的時候,應該選擇自己尚未經驗過的那一個。不結婚的處境我是清楚的,但結婚會是個怎樣的情況,我還不知道?對!我該答應那個女人的央求。

哲學家來到女人的家中,問女人的父親說:「你的女兒呢?請你告訴她,我考慮清楚了,我決定娶她為妻!」女人的父親冷漠地回答:「你來晚了十年,我女兒現在已經是三個孩子的媽了!」哲學家聽了,整個人幾乎崩潰,他萬萬沒有想到,向來自以為傲的哲學頭腦,最後換來的竟然是一場悔恨。爾後二年,哲學家抑鬱成疾,臨死前,將自己所有的著作丟入火堆,只留下一段對人生的註解:如果將人生一分為二,前半段的人生哲學是「不猶豫」,後半段的人生哲學是「不後悔」

也許你曾經買了一件很喜歡的衣服卻捨不得穿,鄭重的供奉在衣櫃裡; 許久之後,當你再看見它的時候,卻發現它已經過時了。 所以,你就這樣跟它錯過了。也許你也曾經買了一塊漂亮的蛋糕卻捨不得吃,鄭重的把它供奉在冰箱裡, 許久之後,當你再看見既時候,它已經過期了所以,你也這樣與它錯過了。 有在最喜歡的時候上身的衣服,沒有在最可口的時候品嚐的蛋糕, 就像沒有在最想做的時候去做的事情,都是遺憾。 生命也有保存期限,想做的事該趁早去做。如果你只是把你的心願鄭重的供奉在心裡,卻未曾去實行,那麼唯一的結果就是與它錯過,一如那件過時的衣服,一如那塊過期的蛋糕。

Bowling

Last weekend, I went to play bowling with my hubby, and sweet sisters. We were having fun. This is the first time we played bowling together. Actually, long ago my hubby already planned to play bowling when both of us go back to Batu Pahat. But, we always busy with something when we go back. Finally, this time all of us allocate our "free time" to play and enjoy that moment.

This is also my first time to break my record. I got 122 points. This is the best record i ever get. Haha. Eventhough not a big deal, but I'm happy with the result and also enjoy the game.


Play bowling is also a good activity. Eventhough we just simply go and play (without the proper training or skill) but we build up our relationship. Make each other closer and can view many different funny scene. I looking forward for next outing activity with my family.

Movie -Kung Fu Panda

Haha, this is the latest funniest animation movie I watched. My hubby like it as well. His is the type won't spend money on this type of animation in cinema. But this time he watch animation movie with me in cinema. This movie's story is about a big fat panda, called "Po". He is a fat and clumsy panda that like kung fu so much and his is the fan of the current kung fu master: Tigress, Viper, Mantis, Monkey and Crane.

Po tells us that anyone can be a hero, because there is no special, secret ingredient. Neither for the noodles that he and his father make nor for the spirit it takes to defeat the evil Kung Fu renegade, the villainous snow leopard, Tai Lung.

From this story, I realized that everyone is unique in this world, everyone has different capabilities. Anyone can become a special person in this world. As long as you are confident to yourself, nothing is impossible for you.

Sometimes, i thinking about my students, all of them has different characteristics, some naughty, some quiet, some always making problems, some always be the top in the class. Therefore, I know that, all of them will contribute something to society one day after graduation. I knew some students that do not did well in their examination and get average result, but they always are the one earn good money and having a better career than other.

Lunar Calender - 5th May - Duan Wu Jie

In Lunar Calendar, 5th May is the dumpling festival. Dumpling festival also known as dragon boat festival. In this festival, chinese comunity organize dragon boat races and eat dumplings, or 'zong zi'.

This festival has a story behind it. Long time ago, in China, the patriotic poet Qu Yuan threw himself in to the Milo River to protest against injustice and corruption in China. Some villagers want to protect Qu Yuan's body from eaten by the fishes in the river, they threw rice and beat drum to chase the fishes away. This is the why every chinese family will make 'zong zi' on fifth day of fifth month of lunar calendar.

Nowadays, most of the youngest do not know how to make a dumpling.The dumplings, or 'zongzi', is a little packets of sticky rice wrapped up in bamboo leaves.


These are the ingredients to make the dumplings:

rice, leave and meat


we need to wrap the rice and meat with the bamboo leaves. Then, we have to cook it with boiling water.


This is how the final dumpling looks like:



In market, there got many types of dumplings. In Melaka, there has nyonya dumplings, Hainan dumplings, sweet dumpling, etc.

Pulau Redang

wah, last week is a fantastic week.

since 2003, i haven't been take a long holiday in other state/place as vacation. Last week, I went to Pulau Redang, Terengganu with my hubby, my sister and her boyfriend, my auntie's family.

This is the first time I went to this island. This is the most beautiful island i ever seen. When i show the pictures that i taken to my friends, they are surprised that Malaysia has this wonderful and beautiful place they never had in their mind.

We went to the place by a tourist bus. We depart from Johor at 10pm and reach Terengganu at 6.45am.


This is the first place we reached at Terengganu.

Now, let me show you the pictures in Pulau Redang.




At here, the can see the really blue and clear sea, blue sky and white sand.



I'm not lucky as my family members, I fall in sick when I reach Redang Island. Therefore, I took some photos when they were snorkling in the water.




They were snorkeling happily at the seaside, but i was sitting under the tree and oberving them.




The sea water is clear until you can see the small fishes having their gathering near the seaside.




I must go to this place again in next year. The place is so beautiful. According to the beach boy there, the peak season is on mid year school holiday which is around April to June. The time we went is in end of May. I think this is the time that we can see many peoples and have a good scenery there. This island is closed of operation from October to end of February because of the wind and waves. All the resorts in Pulau Redang provide reasonable package which included snorkling sections and 4 meals in buffet style at reasonable price.



This is the sun rise scenary in Pulau Redang. If got chance to go, I'll go to this place again.

Hope you all enjoy these pictures.
