Mount Mike

Today was the first day of Hari Raya~Wishing all muslim friend enjoy their Raya celebration~

And its been a long time ago for me to update my blog, here i come with my New update with the mount Mike~ :)

I m very happy coz have the chance to know this mountain and go till the top of it..Actually, this mountain is not very high,  the distance to get till the top is approximately 2000+ meters. We took around 1 hour to reach the top. On the top of the mountain, there is a Indian temple.  This is the first time for me to enter an indian temple and pay respect to the "dewa-dewi" inside the temple. Before go into the temple, must remember to wash hand, foot and face and most importantly, without wearing the shoes.My friend brought 2 coconuts to give to the temple and i saw quite a lot of people bring Milk( Dairly brand) to the temple. 

At there, we met a uncle who live at the foot of the hill. He is the owner of the Mike camp site and he told us the history of this mountain. He told us that this mountain originally was a highlands  used for tea plantation during Raja Brooke era. At that time, the Raja Brooke hired a lot of labors from India and they live at here. The Indian temple was build at that time too. However, the plantation of tea was not succeed. Hence, the highland and the temple were abandoned.  And during  1960 year, the site was recovered by people ( if i was not mistaken :P). Not forget to mention, there was a Raja Brooke Bungalow build there. However, the bungalow left only toilet bowl at the site ( i did not go to there see the bungalow site, and i heard this from the uncle, next time have chance may go there visit..).  3 years ago, The old Indian temple was renovated and replaced by a new temple.  I can feel the "sayang" feeling from uncle when he talked about the renovation of the temple because he feel that  historical significant is less after the temple was renovated. However, for me, the historical value still there although the temple is new now. :) 

For me, today's mountain hiking was a memorable experience and visiting the Indian temple was a big "bonus" for me as i was never expect that i will visiting such a historical place. 

I Like Mountain hiking the most and i enjoyed the time when i can hug the nature so close. Grateful for this..:)

Rose Desrochers Thoughts On Taking Responsibility For Our Actions

When do we start taking responsibility for our own actions? It appears that we no longer own our actions. Owning our actions, involves taking personal responsibility for what we do. Why is it that when something goes wrong, we need some place to lay the blame? Part of being a mature, responsible adult is to know that when we make a decision in life we are responsible for the outcome, not someone else.


Let's look at the following examples:

A married man goes out and has an affair. He blames the wife for not satisfying his needs in bed. Did he ever stop to think that maybe his problem lies with him and not with his wife?

Your electricity gets turned off because you didn't pay the bill. Do you blame the mail man for not bringing the bill? Do you blame the electrical company, because you didn't receive the bill? You knew the bill was due. You pay it every month, don't you? It comes down to responsibility.

You join a website and the administrator bans you for breaking the terms of service. You blame the administrator? Why? You knew the rules of the website upon joining and had you not known the rules, you should have prepared yourself better by reading them.

Your daughter gets pregnant at 15. Let me guess you blame Britney Spears for influencing her to dress sexy. Yet you purchased the clothes for her and allowed her to wear them.

Your son gets suspended from school for fighting, drinking and drugs. You don't take responsibility as the parent. You blame the child. Well don't family values start at home? It is the rules that you set down and enforce that count.


When do we start taking responsibilities for our lives? We all have a responsibility to pay our bills, go to work, follow the rules and bring up our families within societal norms
It is really unfortunate that we seem to be raising a generation of children that don't take responsibility for their actions either. They blame their friends, they blame their teachers, and they blame everyone around them, but never themselves.


When you feel you are mistreated, why is it that you just can't seem to let go of it, get over it and move on with your life? If you feel someone has wrong you and doesn't want to own up to the fact that they have mistreated you then there isn't much that you can do about it.You need to accept that the person isn't going to see no wrong doing on their part, pick up your bruised ego and move on.

When do we learn as adults to be responsible for our own actions? When do we start living with the consequences of our decisions? Let go of blaming and being a victim. It serves no one. It sure doesn't help you. Has not excepting responsibility for your actions made you happy? It is time to admit your mistakes rather than blame someone else.


Being a responsible adult means that you accept credit when you do the right thing and accept correction when someone tells you that you have made a wrong choice in your life.


We're adults here and we want to be treated as such unless it's not in our favor and then we want to blame someone else, anyone but ourselves.

I think it is time each of us assumed responsibility in life, by being liable for our actions and taking ownership of them. Please for goodness sake, stop making excuses for your life. When you have done wrong, admit to your mistakes and then move on.

明天会更好+ Tell me Why

2010年版本的明天会更好~

明天会更好是80-90年代很红的一首歌~当年,这首歌是为了唤醒人们对这个世界的爱心。。2010年,这首歌再度被传唱~

其中有一句歌词特别触动我的心弦~

“抬头寻找天空的翅膀 候鸟出现它的影迹 带来远处的饥荒 无情的战火 依然存在的消息”

是的,经过了二十年,世界的科技已经处在日新月异的状态,今天的科技已经远远超出了80年代人们对科技的想象。然而,战争和饥荒直到今天还是没有被解决!!!!这个消息依然存在着!!!甚至,这个话题并不为人们所关注,媒体也不热衷报导类似的课题。

为什么我们可以漠视这一切的存在?!!!!是因为我们都活在象牙塔里头,从来没接触到战争和饥荒活生生的例子,所以才导致我们冷漠? 是因为不是我们活在那里,所以一切就不关我们的事?是因为那一切都离我们很遥远,所以我们就可以当做这一切只是电视上播放的纪录片,当做故事来看待?或者,这些饥荒的概念,是在孩子挑食时拿来当做教材,用来恐吓他们说:如果你浪费食物,就会变成非洲的难民之类的话~~


这种瘦骨如柴,你看过吗?



我们都希望明天会更好~希望世界能和平,希望没有天灾,希望没有战争,希望这个世界没有烦恼~

那我们是否应该想想自己能为这世界付出些什么呢? 也许,凭我们这微薄的一点力气,并不能为这世界改变很多,但如果世界每一个人都贡献一点点力气,那积少成多就会为这个世界带来很大的改变。

最后,献上 Declan Galbraith 的Tell Me Why~ 同时,也为这世界献上祝福。

未曾失去,又怎懂珍惜?

人,是个很矛盾的个体,常常要在失去后,才后悔自己从来都不曾懂得好好珍惜。
 
哈哈,今天,发生了一件事,让我有了很深的感触。

那就是~~~


我的手受伤了!!!

哈哈,其实也不算是什么严重的伤啦,只是被猫咪咬伤了~

哇,被咬的那刻,痛得我眼泪直奔,而鲜血也不断的从伤口中涌出。

手上一共有三个比较深的伤口,其余的只是轻微的皮外伤。

医生说,被猫咪咬到可大可小,因为猫咪的牙齿有Virus!!!原本要打针的,但~我很害怕打针,所以就只吃消炎药和擦消毒的cream..

这是我的手的现状~看起来并不严重,然而却很。现在的左手是无法拿重的东西,也无法出力,因为若出力的话,血又会不断的涌出来。


平时,习惯了用两只手做事情,现在却只能凡事用右手。庆幸伤的是左手,因为我是右撇子。

 呵呵,这就是所谓的不幸中的大幸~~


现在,左手受了伤,才深深的体悟到左手的重要性。幸而这伤应该很快就会痊愈~也庆幸我不是永远失去这只手~(Touch Wood  XP)

我们,常常会因为习惯了,就会忘记去珍惜。比如,我习惯了这只左手,那我就会认为这只手的存在是理所当然的。其实我们所拥有的一切,并不应该被认为是理所当然存在的。想想看,那世界上那么多人一出生就残疾缠身,在我们眼里的“理所当然”,对他们来说是多么的奢侈啊~

所以,我们要为我们所拥有的健康身体感到感恩~要懂得珍惜生边每一件事,每一件物,每一个人~也要永远记得,没有人是必须对你好的,别把人家的恩惠当成理所当然哦~


呵呵,今天的感悟到此为此~谢谢阅读~ XP
