Life

These few days, i keep on thinking about the title up there. Life.

2009 has been a bad year for me. It really does. The reason why I say this is mainly because bad news keep coming to my ears and eyes. I found out that life is really fragile. You could be happy and playing around today but the next day, you maybe will find yourself either in the hospital or if serious, in the casket.

First bad news: While I was focusing for my Year 1 Sem 1 final exam, I received a sms from my sister. My sister told me that my uncle had passed away. He wouldnt be around anymore. He wont wake up anymore. To tell the truth, my uncle is really a very very good man. He would be given a prize of No.1 Uncle if there is this award in this world. He is a very cheerful man. Yet, a reunion with his friend lead him to death. He was drinking at the highway. Then, he want to go to "pee". Just couldnt accept the fact that he fall down from the highway, his ribs broken and penetrate his heart. And he died.

Second bad news: Every newspaper report about them. UTAR brand appears at most of the newspapers because of them too. Yes, the Batu Berangkai waterfall tragedy that led to death of 3 UTAR students. Eventhough I dont really know them and they dont know me, but i feel a sense of pity that this tragedy happens to them. A joyful outing leads to the death of 3 UTAR students. 3 very bright UTAR students too. What they left behind is, tears and sorrow from their beloved family and friends.

Third bad news: My buddy, Yok Chee Yuan's friend at Pahang is in the intensive care unit now. Yok told me that the day before he was admitted in the hospital, his friend called him for a chat and mentioned that he will come to UTAR next year to further his studies. But now he is in a very critical situation and had been coma for two weeks. The doctor told his family to prepare for the worst. But nothing can be done, all we can do is just pray together so he would overcome this difficulties.

Forth bad news: UTAR Year 1 Sem 3 advertising student, Lam Sei Whye had been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), which is a type of blood cancer. She is currently receiving her treatment in Subang Jaya Medical Centre. The medical expenses required for her treatment is RM 200,000. And she is in a desperate form in terms of money. For fellow UTARians, please donate sincerely at the booth at the cafeteria start from 23th, 25th and 26th November to help our friend out there. Your donations will be greatly appreciated!

Last week, I had a dream that I was knocked by a very hard steel at my head. When I woke up, I found my body was lying on the floor with blood around my body. That time, I know I was dead. There is a blank on my mind and I realize I had not done what I wanted to do in my life yet. All I could do at that time was just repeating the phrase "I still got a lot of things havent do". I saw my mother sitting on the chair. She could not see me. That feeling of dead is really scary. You would not know what to do as your soul wanders around. I was thankful when I woke up finding myself still alive.

Life is really fragile. You would not expect what will happen at the next second. All tragedy happen because of our own carelessness. No matter what you do in life. Keep it in mind, safety is always the priority, not joy. Keep yourself safe so your family wont be crying next to your own coffin. Please, do take care of your own. If you have things and goals havent achieve yet, do it. Dont wait. I read a blog from my friend, Mei Poh. She regret as she will never ever have the chance to tell to the person what she have in her mind because that person is already dead.

Please dont let this happen to you.

Live life to the max ... Cheers =)

The Different Faces in South East Asia

I introduce to you ...

The Different Faces of South East Asia, Touring Exhibition of Chia Hoy Sai's artworks.

The biography of the inspiring artist, Mr. Chia Hoy Sai

Thanks to the brochure in the male toilet and also the notification in the Foundation's notice board. I come to know about this meaningful art gallery.

This event is organised by the Soka Gakkai Malaysia organization. First time heard about this organization? This is also my first time to hear about this organization. To my suprise, Soka Gakkai is a religious organization that is under Buddhism but they only promote one sutra from Buddhism. Besides that, Soka Gakkai not only emphasizes on religion but they also promote peace and unity, cultures and also education.

Soka Gakkai is famous with their only one verse of chant which is "nam myo ho renge kyo". It is said that this verse will bring you guidance whenever you given up your life. From that verse, numerous guidelines will appear to help you get through your life and stand back up strong again. The founder and also president is Daisaku Ikeda Sen Sei who possessed more than 200 honorary doctorate degree and wrote manybooks. Great man isn't he?

Thanks to Miss Lok Bee Lan who is the Head for the Department of Soft Skills Competency and also a loyal member of Soka Gakkai for the meaning of Soka Gakkai and serving me more than 1 hour. And also my lecture classmate, Ong Yun Ru for the welcome. I know i waste most of your time. Sorry for that, but you really did a great job in your duty. Double thumbs up =)

Let's move on to the main thing of it ...

They live that life, but they complain nothing

Don't complain about your life

The picture of the day .....

The main idea of this picture is that there is a new life behind the fallen tree. Notice that the new life have a lot of challenges to sustain its own living, but the seedings still grows up no matter what challenges it face. Meaningful?

For more, for those UTAR students and those who live in Kampar. Please visit the exhibition at 2267A, Jalan Hala Timah 1. I am sure that you will have a different experience by visiting the exhibition.

Live life to the max. Cheers =)
