Thank you, Gavin & YeanFei.......... 我真的很感动.........

Having gone through so many Teachers' Day and birthdays throughout my teaching career, it is normal for us in PPIA to end up 'empty-handed' on both these days. Some parents are real nice, really, coz they take the effort to celebrate for us or give us some presents on those days. But to harap our students to do something will be like waiting for the moon to fall from the sky.

We can't possibly be teaching our students to give us things on these days, rite? Sounds like a bit tebal muka. I can't possibly open my mouth and say:".......... tomorrow is Teachers' Day yar.... remember to buy something for me yar......" funny, rite?

Well, it's not that I am greedy - hoping to get something ..... Parents from time to time do give us things and I'm really grateful for that........ BUT, I WANT MY STUDENTS TO DO IT!!! It's the knowledge that my students 会做人 and my work is being appreciated by my students that make me wait and hope that my students will do something on those 2 days (without prompting by my colleagues, and prompting by their parents is also a no, no！).

During EIP time, it's quite impossible to wait for such a day coz they are still small! But in JTC, something should happen, rite? They are young adults already! They can't be expecting to receive all the time....... they should learn to give! We have been teaching them how to be nice to people and appreciate what people have done for them....... Practically, they should show it out in real life happenings!!

Okie, i should be grateful that among the 14 of them, there are at least 2 who knows how to 做人 (by themselves) ...... who never forget us, teachers on both these days........

Yean Fei, thx for ur keropok!!!

Thx Gavin.......! Your cake is the nicest I've ever tasted and your notes of wishes and appreciation are always an encouragement to us, teachers!

To: Alan @ Clift @ Huat

至给：我工作时的最佳拍档，永远不认自己超过 30 岁的 Alan 大哥，

不知不觉和你在 JTC 合作也已经有超过一年半的时间。。。。
在一起的时间有酸甜苦辣，但总结来说是很快乐的。。。。
每天的我开口闭口嚷着说“万一我走了。。。你要记得。。。”
结果是你先离开。。。。
我真的很舍不得。。。。

没把你留下，反而鼓励你离开是以朋友的身份说的。。。。
以同事的身份其实是不想你离开的。。。。三个字：舍不得。。。。
但前程比较重要嘛。。。。。。
所以还是鼓励你走。。。。。。。

想到接下来工作时没有你的日子，我就要掉泪了。。。。
谢谢你这接近两年的时间一直协助我。。。。
开始一起奋斗从零把 JTC 建起。。。。。
一起面对所有的困难和障碍。。。。
一起笑，一起骂，一起疯，一起发脾气，只差没有一起哭。。。。
一起在晚上喝茶时发泄工作时的不满。。。。。

趁我不在的时候，把 JTC 管理的很好。。。。。。
让我无忧无虑的在外面跑。。。。
趁我忙的时候，你一人扛起了两人的工作。。。。
让我能够在电脑面前消失在打字的世界。。。。。

和我合作并不是一件简单的事。。。。。
脾气不好又臭的我，你都能忍下了。。。。。
相信将来你在外面遇到的风雨，你肯定能够忍受。。。。。

在外面你要加油喔！
我衷心地祝福你成功！
Kambate！！
& Thank you for everything that you have done for JTC & me...............

Near Death Experience........ Relived Again

The girl who died being burnt alive in her MYvi........has a great impact on me.......

It reminds me of my own experience when I was in my first year of uni........ That sense of helplessness, knowing that you might die in a ball of fire, with people surrounding you and yet no one dares or knows how to help you.

It is really due to the grace of God that I'm still alive today.......

At that time, I was on a taxi going back to KL when the accident happened in the dark at 6:30 a.m in the morning...... It knocked into a tractor which had no lights on and started spinning non-stop on the road..... We were all screaming without knowing what had happened as it was so dark and there were no street lights on that stretch of road. When it stopped, everyone began dashing out of the vehicle, except for me......because my legs were pinned due to the impact of the crash on my side. I could see smoke billowing from the engine and I could hear someone yelling, "Quick...... get away from the car as soon as possible......" I struggled to free myself, but to no avail. I was in a state of panic which made me 'disabled' at that moment, not even having the strength to shout......In my heart, I was crying out to God:"Please save me..... I don't want to die in this way......" I turned my head, trying to see where the rest were. As the sun began to rise, I could see they were all a safe distance away from the taxi which made me even scared.......Smoke was still coming out from the engine and in my heart, I was thinking: I'm dead meat this time.... barbecued style......

Yet I thank God, nothing happened and when the taxi driver and some passers-by were sure that it was safe, they came back to me and helped to pull me out from the wreckage. At that time, I pulled and tugged at my legs so hard that I thought it was going to break....... I remembered telling those people: 'Even if my legs are broken or have to be amputated, you all have to get me out from here....... In the end, I managed to free myself with their help and ended up sobbing like a baby at the side of the road........

Therefore, when I read the news about how this girl died, it affected me so much that I couldn't sleep throughout the night..... Imagine her fear before dying and the feelings of anguish and helplessness even though there were so many passers-by who stopped by trying to help. It pains my heart and the pain is indescribable.......

R.I.P to this girl..........though I might not know who you are........

Addicted to.................

Seem to be addicted to FB.........too many interesting videos n news n gossip there tempting me to log in every day.

Seem to be addicted to cooking n baking...........with new recipes spinning in my mind every day..........

Seem to be addicted to this person................craving for this person's phone call, wanting to know how everything's going on............

Seem to be addicted to losing weight............. trying hard to cut down on the kilos.....................

Seem to be addicted to bus station....................coz i love the drinks n food there............

放慢脚步何尝不是一件好事。。。。

你就别给自己太大的压力。。。。
慢慢往上爬有什么不好呢？
你只要耐心，努力，相信有一天你一定能闯出一番的成就。。。。。。。
有些事是不能急的。。。。。。
越急你就越看不到你想要的。。。。。
当你不把它看得太重时，有一天你会突然发现 “Ei，我怎么已经达到了。。。。。。”

放慢脚步何尝不是一件好事。。。。。。。。
你会看得更多，更远。。。。。。。。。。。。

一家人本来就应该是这样子。。。。

看到阿嬷开始笑，讲话，调皮的应嘴，觉得她一定会长命百岁。。。。
这阵子生病的阿嬷让我们一家人更加的团结。。。。。。
帮忙扶她去洗澡，上床，大小解，换尿布，吃东西。。。。。这一切都让我很佩服我的老妈子。。。。她每天哪来的力气和能耐，帮阿嬷做这些事情。。。。。

看到我老妈子无私的付出，让我更加肯定在以后的日子，不管老妈子出什么事，我都不会遗弃她，也不会把她丢到老人院。。。。。一家人本来就应该是这样子。。。。。有福同享，有难同挡。。。。

绑不住的野马。。。。

没可能的事情，我通常都很少去理会。。。。
就偏偏这件事不理他却让自己心不安。。。。
只要他得到他想要的东西，我也就满意了。。。
只要他攀得到他想要的高峰，我也就开心了。。。。
就算他离我越来越远。。。。我也无所谓了。。。。
因为这是他一路来在寻找的。。。。。。

曾经有人问过：野马是绑得住的吗？
我的答案是：绑得住，但那只马会非常的不快乐。。。。。

就因为这样，学会了不要对一只野马寄于任何希望。。。。。从远远看着，在该伸出援手的时候扶着一把，知道这只马快乐就好。。。。
