It's all coming back to me now

After 6 and a half months, this lost luggage has finally come back to me! I have no idea where it has gone, thanks to the shipping company. I think I have phoned them or emailed them more than 5 times. Anyway, glad that the luggage is back to me now!

Wanna know what's in there?

2 bowling balls: Ebonite Trimax and Columbia Icon 300; and one bowling bag.

1 table tennis bat + cover; 1 broken bowling wrist guard; 1 swimming goggles; a few table tennis balls; some paper / plastic bags collected for my sister.

我看见了春风

CNY又到了！屈指一算，已有三年没在大马庆新年了！在英国，一点农历新年气氛都没有。只有寒冷的天气陪我们度过。犹记得，第一年在英国，度过一个白色春节。大伙儿在吃了年夜饭后，来一场“雪战”，迎接年初一的到来。接下来的两年，也没有什么特别，大家一起吃“团年饭”，就算了。那时候，最开心的莫过于收到家人寄来的新年食品、还有好友从远在故乡寄来的贺年卡。千里送鹅毛，礼轻情义重！

今年，又会是如何度过的呢？我好像已忘了庆新年的感觉。好吧！这一次，一定要把失去的，都找回来。尤其是已三年没拿到的红包！哈哈哈！让自己再次融入农历新年应有的热闹气氛！除了吃喝玩乐，也是吃喝玩乐！嘿嘿嘿！

新年间，除了和家人团聚外，当然也是与一群猪朋狗友聚首的‘吉日’。一年下来，各有各忙。这个时候，也是大家一起‘放假’的大日子。几个人聚在一起，大吃大喝，寒暄几句，接着就.............. 一年一次，娱人娱己，一团和气。

好吧，祝大家：狗年汪汪‘旺’；万事都如意！

I feel damn bad now!

This evening after work, I went to USJ Taipan Triangle area to buy a table lamp and a cable extension. On the way back home, suddenly I saw someone trying to cross the road, which was a dumb move. Of course I couldn't stop, bad timing, impossible for me to step on the brake. While I was about to pass that guy, an old man, for your information, I noticed that he's blind and he just raised the blindman stick. Oh shit.............. It's supposed to be a signal for the drivers to stop the car and let's the blinds cross the road. I know it! Yet I did nothing...... I did scared him while my car passing by him. I felt so terribly bad at that moment. When I looked from the rear view mirror, the drivers behind me didn't stop the cars as well. Normal Malaysian..... Sigh..... I was blaming myself for the rest of the journey back home. I was thinking: I should just stop my car a bit front and get my ass out of the car and then help him cross the road. Yet I did nothing. I was wondering how long did he take to cross the road. Did anyone else help him? I felt really sorry......... sorry. "Please forgive me, Uncle." I feel really terribly horribly BAD..................... As a punishment, I won't watch any drama series nor TV for 3 days. I promise: I will stop the car whenever I see people wanting to cross the roads, epecially if they are Warga Mas or blinds who raise the blindman stick as a signal.

P/S: Yes, for your information, the blinds would raise the stick if they want to cross the roads. It's signal for the drivers to stop the vehicles and let them cross. It would be greatful if people could help them cross the road as well. Let's them hold your arm and slowly accompany them crossing the road.

助人为快乐之本嘛！

从前、现在、未来

在中学时期，参加了一个名为‘公教学生青年运动’（简称‘学青’）的团体。虽说是个天主教青年团，但所有的活动基本上都没什么宗教色彩。会员绝大部分都是非天主教徒。我也忘了是在怎样的情况下当了团员。只记得，首三年，都在得过且过的心态下度过，没什么贡献。直到步入第四年之际，很意外地，被委任当上副秘书一职。慢慢地，开始有了归宿感。也从整理资料的当儿，对这个团体更有认识。

充实地过了近一年，卸任之前，筹备一年一度的青年营--我们的‘生招牌’。这个营可来头不小。每一年都吸引全马半岛各学青派代表参加。而当届的主题为--从前、现在、未来。还记得在最后一天，欢送营员时,筹委们都哭了！不是因为4天3夜后的精疲力竭，而是不舍与感触。对我们一群即将卸任的理事们而言，那时我们的‘毕业典礼’。百般滋味在心头。

离开学青，已有六年了！不能不承认：时间流逝得真快！真的很怀念以前筹办活动的点滴，中学过后已没有这些机会。（除了在大学时，计划欧洲背包旅行之外。）它们点缀了中学生涯，都是不能被磨灭的‘战绩’。我觉得参加学生团体，最大的益处是可以从各活动中，认识很多人、体会团队精神并培养领导能力。

希望在籍学子们，在埋头苦读的当儿，不要忘了多参加课外活动，别永远躲在温室里！


我们的主题曲--从前、现在、未来
（当初觉得整首歌都很‘俗’；现在却发觉歌词蛮有意义的。）

什么时候才发现
自己和以前不一样
看着自己的脸庞
过的日子很迷茫

走过多多少少的路
才发现自己的迷途
趁着现在还年少
为我们将来好好打算

曾经一起苦
大家一起哭
朋友聚在一起不孤独
从前就说不
现在要欢呼
未来的时候就 Hulululu

无论现在多辛苦
为的是将来的福
从前的片断留在心中
当着是一种回顾
从前的错误要服输
别把未来当作赌注
让我们的心不在模糊
为这个世界付出
