老师与水果商 Teacher & Fruit seller

几天前,在报章上看到了一篇短文。看了,读了,心领了,所以想和大家分享一下。
I saw this article on the paper few days ago..... I feel that it's quite apt with our lives.

标题:老师和卖水果的商人有何不同?
Title: What're the differences between fruit sellers and teachers?

(一)水果商交换的是物质;老师提供的是无形的知识与生活价值。
Fruit sellers trade in the form of material; teachers supplyin the form of knowledge.

(二)水果商迫求的是利益,是金钱的流动;老师努力的是感动的过程,是爱的流动。
F.sellers aim for profit, flow of currency; teachers hope to experience the teaching process, the flow of love.

(三)社会对水果商不会有太大的期待;但对老师往往都是抱以高度的期许。
The society won't have a high hope on fruit sellers; but society always cast numerous of mountaining expectations on teachers

(四)水果商只招呼眼前的顾客;老师除了关心班上的学生,还需与他们的家庭建立良性的互动。
F.sellers only respond to the customers standing right infront of them; but, teachers have to build a strong relationship with the students' family besides plainly teaching in the class.

(五)水果商面对的水果,多样化,但较单一。老师须掌握的学生,是单一的,亦是多样化的。
What f.sellers have to face is a fruit in many kinds; what teachers need to handle in one species of students but in many kinds.

(六)水果,商人和顾客之间的相处多半是短暂的;学生,老师与家人之间的影响却长久的。
Fruits, f.sellers and customers, most of the time only meet each other for a short period, just to fulfill each others' hunger for materials.
But students, teachers and parents can have an eternal impact on each other.

(七)腐烂的水果对水果商来说,不是放弃,扔掉,就是贱卖。老师则会设法引导成绩低落,行 为偏差的学生。
F.sellers will either give up, throw away or sell at a extremely low price, whe they meet a rotten fruit.
Teachers will figure all the ways to help students, who score poorly in academic or having a misbehaviour.

(八)水果商贩卖成熟的果实;老师孕育尚未成熟的种子(学生)。
F.sellers are to sell ripen fruit. Teachers are obligated to educate unripe seeds.

(九)水果商不会因为生意不好而“教训”水果;老师却往往会在求好心切下鞭策学生。
F.sellers will never hit the fruits when his business is down. But teachers will always cnae their students when they are desperate to see good results.

当你在天空翱翔时,别忘了回头望望。。。。地上的他们
当初,是谁教你走,跑,然后试着起飞?。。。。。使他们.

This kind of feeling.......

I don't like the feeling of counting down to tests.
I don't like the feeling of cramming everything into my head.
I don't like the feeling of lecturers keep telling us
"mock exam is COMING!!"
I don't like the feeling of being pushed into piles of books.
I don't like the feeling of arranging everything in order.
I don't like the feeling of being asked about details about tests.
I don't like
I just don't like.

But, I know
Counting down to tests makes me more cautious about my studies.
Cramming everything into my head will never happen, if I have prepared early.
Endless nagging from lecturers mean they do care, really.
Piles of books are nothing but success' key.
Everything in order makes me able to speed up and proceed.
Lack of details is a sign of lazy...........

**What's the feeling you get when you see my new header?
Do let me know X)

Banting one-day trip

The main host of this post!!!

WEI XIN aka Little Borther/ 小弟
or 小鬼/Little spirit




Hours before we reached this house..............

A group of JPA students made their way to Banting, one of our friend- Wei Xin's hometown. Banting, a small town it is, located around 1 and half hour drive from Petaling Jaya. We went in 2 cars, both Kancil, small but compact. :D It was bumpy along the whole journey and potholes were every where. It's like sailing.....feeling like in a sampan....... wooo~ woo~~ The road was complicated and I bet if I were asked to show the road again, I don't think I could recall it. XD

When we reached there, it's already noon and we had dinner together with Wei Xin's family at a Bak Kut Teh shop. It's kind of awkward for us to be separated into 2 tables, one for us and one for Wei Xin family......haha


What's wrong with me and Shun Jing? XD

After taking our lunch, we went back to Wein Xin's house and have some rest.
Here is what happen, when you invite your friends to your air-conditioned room which equipped with a comfortable bed.
August PLAY BOY- Chang Win
Girls!! r a p e him!!....ooppss!!
It's rate him!!!) XD


At around 1.30pm++, we are on our move again....This time, our destination is the orchard farm.
Again, we have to pass through bumpy roads to reach the farm....poor little Kancil XD
It's located not far from Wei Xin's house and we reached there in around 5 minutes. Things do not always turn out the way we expected it would be, and we got the BAD news from the orchard workers- The ORCHARD is closed temporarily!!
Aarrhhh!! Nooo....ooo....ooooo (echoing)
Their reason is :
"all the tourists plucked the fruits while we are not looking and it causes damages to the trees".
Haizxx.....What can we do? The atmosphere turned out to be quite tense when Wei Xin parents tried their best, insisting to go in.
Below is a brief conversation between Wei Xin's mom and the worker:
WeiXin's mom: Worker:
"I just asked you last 2 weeks and you gave me the answer that we can visit the farm!!!
Now WHAT?!!"
"Cannot, Boss say CANNOT means 'CANNOT'!!!"
"Apalah you?! Last 2 weeks you still say can, now you say cannot? Are you playing with me? Can larr...."

"Boss said cannot means CANNOT!!" (I'm sicked of the word"BOSS")
"But, all of them came so far just to visit orchard and now you say CANNOT to us?!"
"You want to see tree horr? If you just want to see trees, just walk around lah! Got a lot..."
"... ..." (SUAN le!!)
t(=_= )t
(Anyway, TQ auntie,uncle!)
Instead of farm visiting, we ended up tasting fruits outside the orchard. It was quite boring
......Therefore, WE DECIDED TO TAKE PICTURES!! We left not long after we finished the fruits since nothing can persuade us to stay longer.XD

Saw the difference? I mean in height....kekekk XP
Longan- a heaty fruit


You see nothing......


Posing near to the entrance

Next stop is MORIB BEACH!!! (I think we studied it on geography textbook before.....)
It was quite a unique experience for me, although I have been staying near to beaches too. It's my first time witnessing ebb tide which manage to reach so farrrr.................(see the pictures)
Since we're here, we decided to walk till the end of it, inspite of the cell-killing afternoon sun.
OMG, it seems to be endless.....(that's what I really hope......)
We walked...walked....walked...and walked.....of course, we cam whored all the way
(*__*)V
Edwin, sudah kena tangkap!!!! (he's spying on the edwin's girl) XP
Crazy series on the beach:
Take 1.........FAILED!!!
Take 2........so so........
I like Chang Win's hair....haha
guna Head & Shoulder, tak ada kelumumur....
Yee~Harr~~~
(____ ______llllll)
watch your steps!
siput....aka 屎put XD
Mr. Crab
can't really see our face


After Morib Beach, our journey continued with a visit to a chips manufacture factory. It's a small factory and nothing much is fascinating, except that Wei Xin's father bought us lots of chips from there. (actually we chose it by ourselves) XD
VERY PAISEH larr!!!!


WeiXin's mother is trying to distract the workers over there by chit-chatting, while Jia Jun is stealing some of the banana (-__=)
Afterthat, we had a light snack of :
Japanese fried kuey teow and
cendol

After visiting the 'kerepek' factory, we went hiking at a small hill call 'Ham Sua'.....(if I'm not mistaken) The scenery on the hill was simply 'FU-YOH'!!!
On our way up
when we arrived
Before we leave
Jugra, the name of the town
me and a transmitter (I think)
We saw this signboard when we're on our way to the seafood restaurant.
Banting people sure are........ (kekekkk)
Later, we bought the famous 'begger chicken' on our way back, before heading to a seafood restaurant. We had a scrumptious dinner at that seafood restaurant and it's my second time eating until so full after I came to PJ. (wanna know about the 1st time?....Find out yourself la!!)
The place where the chicken lied before it's ready to be eaten!

The food is just HO-liao!! haha....
"live to eat"
After the dinner, we went back to PJ. Before stepping out of Wei Xin's house, we had a group photo with his family.



It was a nice trip and we enjoyed ourselves very much!! All of us learnt something from it.....
Shun Ling:"A pole dancer I will become!"
(can meh?pitty the stick which has to support the massive weight)
Edwin: "Others' bed is always more comfortable than yours....."
(OMG!!what's that turtle doing?!)
Franky: "Yeah!!! I found my brothers!!!"
WINTERMELON!! XD
Chang Win:"I ate too much and gonna grow fat, and someone is going to love me...
I wanna die....." (chuckles...who's that someone?)
Me: "Mushi..mushi, Monkey Business Company...."
Jia Jun:"A thousand nations of the Persian empire descend upon you.
Our arrows will blot out the sun! "
(as if I scare of you?! Then, we'll just fight in shade larr!)
-The end-
(tired...soo long)

Birthday boy having Cola bath

Last weekend, we- the HOSTEL-ian celebrated Daniel's Birthday....
(too bad, gewek sudah balik).
It was actually a very-last-minute planning, by Nic and me. At first we thought of giving him the same water balloon splashing game with flour coating session, like what we did for the others. But.......
IT's SOOooo BORING larr!!!


BOSAN!! BOSAN!!


SIEN niar!!


So, we tried to brainstorm for a better idea!
Let's be CREATIVE!! INNOVATIVE!! & PROACTIVE!!!
Just like Najib's slogan:


Satu Malaysia, Rakyat di dahulukan, Pencapaian diutamakan!! XP
(a lousy one..haha, but no offence)
We analysed every aspects....from astrology to geography and FINALY!!
We decided to give him a Coca Cola bath in the middle of the night.....
You must be wondering where are we going to get enough Coca Cola for the bathing ceremony, right?


DA-LANG!!



I'm lovin it!! pala-papapa....McDonald's!!!!




We went there for dinner and we gathered the refill times after times and we managed to get
THIS!!!
Fellow bottles, say HI to my friends!

On the way back from college, we also manage to grab a few packets of 'weapon'
There lying, the flour and turmeric powder which was suggested by Rabitto (we're already in the same boat!! )




We waited until around 0200, after Nic and me finished our assignment, our mission started!!!


(Now, only I noticed I don't have pictures of the process and result of the mission)
(___ ___lll)




Nevermind, I'll post them up when I got them.


Now, let's move on to the cake cutting part.




We bought a cake - A Royal don't know what chocolate cake.
I think KCV also got the same cake! Right?






BIG COW!!!! Happy be-lated Birthday from all of the HOSTEL-ians!!!




-A very belated post-
(who cares?! *=&$%^#*$)
