*Yaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy* :D
Watched Harry Potter right on the first day it was screened in Pyramid Cinema with jie jie, my cousin and his fellow friends from A' Levels. The movie was fantastic, perfectly brewed with fine combinations of exciting, terrifying, hilarious and yet really touching scenes (well, to me at least). :) As usual, my tears flowed like pipe-water and erh.. although it was dark but I can sense that they were all turning their heads to see where does all the 'sniffing' sounds came from. Oops.. sound pollution. Hehe.. Anyway, I kinda felt so bad for assuming that Prof. Snape is a real bad traitor which finally revealed, in the movie that he was indeed, a man full of love for Harry's mother and yet, pressured with huge responsibilities in order to keep Mr. Harry safe so that 'he can die at the right time'. Harry is the last hocrux of Voldemort.
( I'm so satisfied for not watching the wrong movie) :)
By the time the movie ended, it was already 8pm so it's actually quite dark when we crossed the canopy walk to get back to campus in order to get the car in Elephant Walk. I.. was so deeply mesmerized by what I saw:
Sunway's magical architecture.
Check out the moon. :)
Such an enchanting sight of the dark night. The glowing full moon. Gives you a mysterious but peaceful feeling, don't you think so? :)
My heart skip a heartbeat the very first time I saw you.
You're so pure that whenever my eyes lays on every sight of you,
You gave me a sense of calmness and inner peace.
You gave me a sense of calmness and inner peace.
There's just something very special about you that not many have.
.....
Do you know that?
Do you know that?
And I can't help but to,
Wish I could water you every day but you're already standing so gracefully and firmly on that pond of pot yourself.
Now, what was you thinking? :p
A white lotus finally bloomed and I'm feeling very delighted. :D As far as I know, it's not easy to get a lotus plant to flower but yet when they do, they wither within a week time. :( So sad right?
你有没有试过一种类型的感觉, ziu 是当你看见一个很安静的人的时候,你会觉得很想要跑去跟她/他说 'Hello!'然后跟她/他交朋友了?我有..但是不是一次还是两次的 shi ching而是很多次了.而是又害怕人jia会觉得我 'something wrong'所以没有这样做. O.o
Eventually, I start to think about it.. Actually, it's quite normal for us to feel shy in approaching someone whom we do not know for example while raising funds for charity but if it's for a good purpose, why would we want to allow the embarrassing feeling to take over our minds and therefore, further limits our action? After all, it's not like I'm doing anything illegal nor bringing harm to other people so there's really no reason why for me not to do that, acting according to my wish. Yes, for me it still does happen sometimes because like you, I'm just a normal human but if this goes on, I'll be missing out all the small fun things you can meet in this world and with this, I've learnt a small interesting fact about life. If you want people to open up to you, you have to open yourself to others first. Share a piece of you and you'll be enlighten by others who got to know you better. Just be brave, everyone likes a little kindness regardless it's in any form such as words or voices. :)
I remembered there was this time when I actually made friends with someone in the campus girls' wash room. Right at the wash room itself. Lol. Why so sudden? Well, simply because we once shared the same study table in the library's discussion room few months ago and she was like randomly asking me some secondary school accounting formula. Since then, and I don't know why, but somehow we met every single day and every single time at the wash room. Lol. Too often and coincidence that we both decided to exchange our email address. The funny thing about that? Right after that day, I have hardly stumbled across her anymore but we're still contacting through Facebook messaging. And I even found out that she's my classmate's roommate. Life's pretty unusual isn't it? :)
Four days ago, my mum got a laugh of her life when she woke up early in the morning only to find out that the house's gate was broken open with just an item missing.
.....
Her bonsai plant.
About ten years old plant, to be exact.
Oh, it's just so.. wow. Thieves nowadays, so surprising that I'm absolutely stunned, speechless and got no comment. *Laughs* But yeah, it was a gift from my dad so I guess she's kinda upset about it but merely faking it up that she's completely fine with the loss. I'm a girl too, mum. *Sigh* Anyway, what's stolen is already gone. Hopefully that the money gained from the sale of our beloved bonsai tree will be put into good use.
Spent about 10 long hours at the Global Art Center to help Miss Gina to make some soft clay samples in conjunction with her church's Feast Day which will be held on the 30th of July. But it was pretty relieving that I wasn't alone in making all the clays myself because probably, I'll be bored for not having anybody to chat with. We were given a few craft books to refer because Miss Gina, the principle didn't know how to make them so, these are what Irene and I both slowly collaborated together to figure out ways to work our hands to transform the clays into:

Squirrels and Snails.
Baby Chick by Irene and Papa Rooster by me.
Tortoise and Ant.
Apple by Irene and Brinjal by me.
However, Irene have to leave by 2pm because she needs to head to the Japanese Bon Odori Festival 2011 so I spent the next 4 hours in making this:
What do you think of this? :D
For a moment, I really felt like bringing it home but it's for the art center, so 'bo pian'. :/ But it's okay, I have the clays at home so I guess I can always make another one for myself since I already know how to do so. :)
Tzu Chi and UNHCR Community-based School Sports Day 2011.
The night before, I set my alarm at 5.30 am so that I could get ready by 6.30 am to go to the stadium with Claire shigu and Tham shibo. We need to arrive at the Cheras stadium by 7am to report ourselves.
However...
I woke up with the phone call of Claire shigu at 6.40am. Omg.. Felt so guilty but both shigu and shibo weren't pissed at all although I was late and yet, they can even crack a joke when I admitted I couldn't wake up. Such nice people. :) In addition to me being late, there's a massive traffic jam at such time in the morning and later on, we kind of figured out why with the sight of the policemen and two cars in such bad conditions that it does make us wonder if the victims are able to 'make it through' or not. May they be alright.. Anyway, we were late by 20 minutes but surprisingly, the event hadn't started. I'm assigned to be at the children area at all times to look after them, mainly to bring them to the washroom, make sure they're perfectly comfortable at their seats by coming out with all sorts of of movement-restricted games and sang songs with them with the rest of the volunteers who are in the same group as me. It was kind of fun with the frequent cheering for each of the participants whenever they're racing on the race track. Jia you!! :D Just to let you know, there are quite a few number of refugee schools that day which can be easily identified by the number printed on their T-shirts. The 141 young children that I'm in care of were from the TTT School (Taman Tasik Tambahan, number 7) and here are some snapshots of that day:
What a beautiful morning to start the day. :)
The Tzu Chi markas.
Young talented musical players.
Thirsty for water.
Distributing the lovely 'pom poms'
Getting ready.
On the mark.. get set..
Goooooo!!!!!!! :D
Aaaaahhhhh!! Run run run!!!!!!!!
Getting into their respective seats.
The unspoken promise. :)
This is the way of how you shake your 'pom poms'.
Nervous moments..
A small request, pay attention to these two girls on the following photos. :)
Jia youu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I look at you.
You look at me.
We both look at each other.
You start cheering. *Yeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!*
We both got bored.
You looked kind of stylo with that.
Oh, she saw us. Let's pose for the camera! *Peace*
Don't move, she wants a second shot.
Peace! :)
I can do that too. :D
Okay, so basically, this is what I want to show about these two very adorable girls. :) Moving next.
Hey, I can wear this.
Cheeers!!!
Three good friends.
Owh.. you guys are so clever. Yup, we're ONE family. ♥
The board says "Somali Restore Hope School".
We might be small but together, our spirits are big.
Peace to you too, little ones.
Wonderful poses. :)
Erh.. I didn't bully him, seriously.. Actually I told him "Kakak nak ambil gambar, boleh?" and he was eating halfway and he thought I didn't allow him to eat so he put that cute upset face on. Sorry sweetheart. :)
"Tak ape, adik boleh terus makan". :) Yumm yumm..
Awwww... :)
Singing the "Yi Jia Ren" song.
Wave to the crowd.
Waiting for the winner announcements. Go go School 7!
The last photo of the day when School number 7 (TTT) was announced as the Best Sportsmanship Award. Omg.. I'm very proud of each and everyone of you. :) *So touched* :)
What a great day although I have to admit that the whether was blazing sunny and it was very tiring that I ran out of energy supply by the time I reached home. Really enjoyed all the fun moments I have with the children and you know what? They all gave me a great gift at the end of the day. The gift of bringing out the small girl in me once again. Thank you. :D
~Thoughts of the Day 6~
Children are no doubt, the purest angels we can ever meet in every corner our lives because they were all so innocent and pure in mind. A rich home; consisting of only working adults can never feel the same pleasure that a poor home with children has because a house can never be a home without the warmth from the laughters of the children. However, it is really heart soaring to read the newspapers only to come across repeating cases of children being abandon, abused, sodomized, turn into slavery while the fact is these wonderful creations are not supposed to go through harsh lives due to the mistakes that we human do.. Awaken your mind and think, would you want to go through the sufferings that not-so-lucky children have if you one of them yourselves? No. You might be lucky for not ending up as a victim yourself but there's a probability that your children might.. And it all starts from the responsibilities within you and the society. So let us all open up our eyes and plant the seed of great love within ourselves to love children and not hating them because you think they're "annoying". We were once a children ourselves and although we have grown up into who we are now but, in our parents' eyes, we are and will forever still be their children. If they can love us so much, for accepting all the flaws we have, we should pass this love around to those who doesn't have them so they too, can experience the wonderful feeling of being loved and cared for. ♥
