Beautiful life.

Mood swing day...
Haha there's always this pre-school reopening syndrome. The feeling where i feel like i dun wan to start lecture but yet feel like wan to meet up with friends that haven't meet up for one month plus. Dilemma.

But still no matter how...i love holidays. I love to stay home...hang around with parents...even just spending a day in my room by jus reading books will be good enough.

This holiday...i manage to read up one dhamma book written by Dr Chan Kah Yein. A Kite in the wind. The main concept of this book is embrace simplicity, travel light in life. Everytime after i finish reading one small passage from this book, i will have these feeling that i'm just so lucky to be borned into this world. To embrace the beauty of the universe, spending my time with my family, sharing loves and concerns with families and friends...

One of the words that i love from this book is KISS. Wut crossed ur mind when i mention KISS? well actually KISS is the short form for 'keep it short and simple' neither in the words u say out or the sentence u want to write out. This is also to be implicate into our life. Keep our life simple. Never burden ourself with hatred and jealousy.

Try to love others more, tolerate more and concern more.

Of course, our life always full with ups n downs. Sometimes we like it. sometimes we don't. Cherish the moment u like more, for those u dun like....take it as a challenge, a step stone for u to grow up...something that make u more mature.

Quoted from [A Kite in The Wind]

Fear less, hope more,
Eat less, chew more,
Whine less, breathe more,
Talk less, say more,
Hate less, love more,
And all good things will be yours.
-SWEDISH PROVERB-


Life is beautiful when we start to cherish it and embrace it.
Live in the present. Do all you can , while you still can.

I expect to pass through this world but once;
Any good thing therefore that I can do,
Or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature,
Let me do it now;
Let me not defer or neglect it,
For I shall not pass this way again.


-William Penn n Etienne de Grellet-

Here and now...love everyone around you...
With this, I would like to share my love with everyone that read this passage...

Love,
hui shan...

突然,好想去一趟茨长街

今天,报纸赤裸裸地报道了关于茨长街的历史。
从不知何时开始,我开始爱上历史性的地方。。。那浓浓的历史风味,让我不禁着迷。
身为怡保人,逛茨长街的机会实在是少之有少。
印象最深刻的就是流动的水果小贩。烈日当空,小贩们仍不辞劳苦的卖水果替顾客们消暑解热。
还有那讨价还价的叫卖声。。。。按摩院。。。。小吃摊。。。。那齿夹留香的福建面,超大的烧包。。
。馅多皮薄。。。一口咬下去。。。哇!!!美味美味。。。
还有还有,那清心透凉的罗汉果凉水。。。。还有好多好多的回忆。
但随着时代的变迁,这历史性的地方开始失色。开始留下了回忆。

突然,好想去一趟茨长街。

the sky is still blue...

It's been quite awhile since my last post. Not to say i'm too busy but just dun feel like writing something here. Today...a usual day like it always is...until we received a call from my aunt.

My mom's mother's brother oh well in short i called him my granduncle, passed away. It's a shocking news to us. He used to be so healthy and strong and compassionate in his life. He treats everyone so well and even though we don;t meet each other often and i dunno whether he rmb me or not, but everytime we met he will treat us with the warmest hospitality he can ever gave. The last time we met was like two years ago when his grandson (which is my cousin) got marry. We took a snap shot together. I still rmb he said to me that 'you've grown up so much....still rmb the time when i carry you on my hand...' and today we are apart....seems so near and yet we are too far away. There's always plan ahead...where we said we will pay him a visit next time we go penang.... we will do this do that but all those plan....will only be plans that will never comes true. When we got this news...my mom worried that my grandma can't accept this fact...coz is her brother that live with her for her past 70+ years...they grew up together and been through a lot. My mom and I, together with my bro drove to my grandma's place. My grandma already knew this news when we reached her place. She's strong. She knows that her brother left her forever. She just feel bad that she's unable to visit him while he was hospitalised. She wanted to pay his brother the last respect, which is the only thing she can do now.

It rains whole day here in ipoh...mourning for the lost ... this make me feels how fragile our life can be. Not to say that i can't accept that people are leaving me... i truely understand that our love ones will sooner leave us due to old age but this year, there are too many cases. From my friend's friend....to my best mates grandparents...all of them left us. I hate the feeling of being separated apart. I hate the feeling of making me feel so helpless. I hate to sent my love ones away.

Life is full of up and downs....full of unpredictables...full of happiness and sadness...all these make our life more meaningful. I start to think more on others. Showing more of my concern....making my plans into action before it's too late.
I cherish my family...my friends and everyone around me.

So long...granduncle. The sky is till blue....and we will farewell you with our loves and smiles.
