华教
听了 渐彪的演说，
真的不得不承认，
心里的确有那么小小的感慨与光荣。
那份确兴是一种
属于全世界华侨的确幸。
身在异地，能够使用母语的机率真的很低。
除非真的碰到了真真切切的同乡，
不然我通常是不会主动以华语当开场白的。
一来是让大家有个能够互相了解与沟通的平台。
二来是为了避免碰了一鼻子灰，才发现对方不谙华语
（俗称香蕉人，外黄内白）
在异地的华人通常会出现两种现象：
（一）过度崇洋以至盲目的跟随
（二）闭门造车，严重思想封闭地对外族排斥
但，当然也有人乞求两者之间有个平衡。
我，就是一种一个。
记得N年前，某个周日夜晚，
第五台（现称“爱fm”）有关于“方言保育”的节目。
如果没记错，DJ的名字好像是吉安。
当初也只半听半懂。
但现在回想起来还蛮值得深思的。
那个节目讨论的内容都围绕与方言与大马的乡土情怀。
“是我们华人太"硬颈"了吗”
“方言对大马来言，有任何价值吗？
有的话，又价在何方”
“方言能另有非文化牵连的价值发展吗？”
“让各族方言自由滋长是一个国家的特色，
还是一个让国民无法团结一致的败笔？”
听了 渐彪的演说，
只能说，小弟的领悟尚浅，
未能有太多具体的结论。
只能说，与其大费周章灭之，
倒不如在没有任何束缚的情况下
将之纳与旗下。
哪怕有朝一日能够受用。
=D

Volleyball + blisters
I used to be a volleyball player.
not the pro type, but more of a bench warmers.
=P
*looking at the photo*
I'm one of the taller fat ass at the back,
I couldn't tell either.
Played it again today.
I know it's kind of out of the blue,
right?
Was doing some work in library
till I get a friend's message.
There you go,
my first volleyball match,
after almost a decade.
I played barefooted cause my footwear wasn't suitable.
and ended up with a few tiny goldfish "blisters".
Nevertheless, it's a good 2.5 hours game.
Before I go,
中秋节快乐!!

飘洋过海来看你
最近，project 进行得不是很顺。
咳。。。
感觉做什么都不对。
project 被唸，意见不一，
概念不明，倾倾reject,
reject, 再 reject
被鸟，鸟，
鸟了，再鸟。。。
像泄了气的汽球，
做什么都提不起劲。
烦烦烦，连烦什么都不知道。
感觉脑袋跟心像被掏空似的。
学阿薯话斋：“上山无力，落山无boo-rek"
哈哈。。。听歌吧~
《漂洋过海来看你》
这七个字，我彻底地了解。
快五年了，他乡我乡，
偶尔会有分不清的时候。
再陌生的城市里，
还是有那么一个让你窝心的角落。
有时候，事物是没有好坏的，
只是看你们能不能 click.
=D

九零后的我们 Gen Y-Z
真的很久很久很久没有听中文的演说了。
最近朋友们在脸书上分享了中国的电视演说比赛。
Translation:
I'm a Law student.
Out of all the lecturers I have had so far,
none of them ever disagree to a statement:
"It is true that the law and regulations
have stated such and such ...
But..... BUT, in the reality,
it is always the other way round."
Reality is so real,
So so real that it becomes such surrealistic that
doesn't conform to its own rules and regulations.
Man who follows the rules rarely get what he wants,
while those who don't often bag everything on the table.
Therefore, it has been part of the norm to have
seniors tapping my shoulder while sighing to my
"immaturity" and "over-optimism".
I would like to project this question to Gen Y-Z.
"What can you contribute to this society?
How can you benefit this world?"
Someday,
the national reserve bank will be chaired by a Gen Y-Z
Someday, Wallstreet will be filled with Gen Y-Z entrepreneurs.
It might sound absurd,
but, someday,
The Gen Y-Z will be some countries'
PM and President.
In short,
someday, the society will be passed onto us,
the Gen Y-Z.
That's the fact.
But, the uncertainty is
what are we giving back to the society
and how are we going to deal with it?
I'm not saying that we will each hold a position
which have impetuous effects on the country.
Instead, what I'm trying to imply is that
all of us are nothing but a small
and almost negligible fragment of the entire society.
a.k.a "fry".
Our life is planned the moment we are borned.
When we're young,
we're told that academic excellence is the purpose of living.
When we graduated from college/universities,
having a handsomely-paid job is a must.
Approaching our 30s,
we're instructed that it's time to settle down,
and spend the most glorious 20 years of our life
paying our mortgages.
You may say that we "lived".
But I've a question:
"Did you live a 'life'?"
We're so focused that
we eventually loose focus
on the environmental issues,
and have no interest in the country's fate.
Spending so much time and energy
focussing on our lives,
we simply don't have anymore to spare
on contributing back to the society.
Much ironic huh?
However, I've figured out something
which I think all of us could accomplish.
It is to be good no matter how old or useless we get.
No matter if we end up being
a factory's CEO or a street vendor.
We can still choose to be good,
and stay enthical.
Do choose to defend that one
most important ethic in life,
despite having millions excuses
to not do so.
最近朋友们在脸书上分享了中国的电视演说比赛。
当中，媛媛的《唤醒90后的社会责任》给予
我的共鸣还蛮大的。
当风口浪尖的大人物落幕时，
生活需要的是默不吭声，
坚守其职的好人们。

Maria Island
Weeks back, went on a trip with a small group of my classmates.
Tooooooo..... Maria Island!!!
Before talking bout the trip,
it's pronounced as "Mariah"
as in Mariah Carey,
and not the usual
stereotypical maid's name.
=P
Firstdisastrous night
The island is almost 2 and a half hour drive from Launnie.
We have to catch a ferry from a small town called "Triabunna".
Once arrived, we're greeted by a row of silos.
They were used by the convicts to produce cement in the past.
Basically, we didn't do much on the first night.
Just a simple dinner and jamming/card playing sessions.
Weather was pretty cold when I sneaked into my warm sleeping bag.
Happy and content.
Unfortunately, that didn't last very long.
The rain got really heavy till my tent cried for mercy,
while my sleeping bag "begged" for dry-ness.
Of course, without a sleeping mat,
my sleeping bag is semi-soaked in water.
With tassie's winter chill,
a wet sleeping bag = cold = Hypothermia!!
I was still in a "denial state" when I first notice that my sleeping bag's wet.
But luckily, my dry-or-die spirit forced me out from my sleep.
Dragging my wet, cold sleeping bag,
I grabbed the essentials:
head-torch, sandals and beanie.
Rushed to the nearest hut,
and luckily the fire is not completely out yet.
Spent my first few minutes rekindling the fire,
topping up few firewoods,
The rest of the hour
was spent cursing myself and
my sleeping bag....hahahhaha
Well.... all is good.
I manage to dry myself up
within an hour though.
Afterall, Song's a cockroach,
he wouldn't die that easily.
MATE!
SECOND DAY
We later descend from the Bishop and Clerk,
had our late lunch and decided that it's time for the
iconic Painted Cliffs!
Tooooooo..... Maria Island!!!

| 往 campsite 出发咯！ |
Once arrived at our campsite, tents were pitched before it gets too dark.
FYI, sun sets almost completely at 5.30 pm during winter in Tassie.
And..... my tent was set on a shit hole...
haha.... which floods when it rains heavily.
and it did later on!!!

Despite a horrible bit from the night before,
we were up early and all ready for a hike!
(at least I did)
 |
| Passed by an abandoned brick barn |
 |
| Unknown cemetery |
 |
| Ryan, Lisa with the "Bishop and Clerk Summit" backdrop |
 |
| Fossils at the fossil cliffs! |
 |
| 2 hours ascend to the summit |
 |
| The view at the top is simply remarkable! |
had our late lunch and decided that it's time for the
iconic Painted Cliffs!
 |
| Mummy wombat and baby wombat *I WANNA SQUISH THEM SO BADLY!!!* |
 |
| 拍写~ 自恋照 |
 |
| favourite picture of the trip *HAPPY* |
LAST DAY
Last day was spent waking up early,
catching the sun rise which we missed the day before,
and some island exploration on our own.
 |
| Always love the photo of sunset/rise Shadows tell lots of stories about a person/friend. |
 |
| Life - best served chilled. |
 |
| Another pretty cottage |
 |
| I just feel like marching when I see this chimney |
It's indeed a short trip,
and final get-away before our final semester begins!
OMG.... when can I have this kind of peace
and picturesque setting again?
Sayonara and till me meet again!

最后学期
终于。。。
最后的的那一个学期终于来了。
它来之前，
恨不得它赶快来，
快快把四方帽带上！
然后进入成人的世界，
工作赚钱！
如今，
它终于来了。
心里有点小雀跃。
但，其中
也难免掺杂了
忐忑不安，
恍然不知所措。
会喃喃自语的问：
我学够了吗？
我学的是我要的吗？
我学的是他们要的吗？
。。。 。。。
总之，那不安的心，
不言而意。
明天会和班同学去露营。
我们的第一次冬天“处女”露营，
也很有可能是大伙们的最后一次了。
看回塔斯的这些年，
原来是有那么多
和我擦肩而过的
友谊，情感，体验。
但，错过的这些也
让我更珍惜目前的一切。
better late than never
迟来的比不来的好
better said than never
蹲在心里永不如坦然相会
前几天偶尔听到的歌
跟此时的心情蛮贴近的。
hush! - 《第三人称》
过去的那几年，
大时间都是以
“第三人称”度过的。
往往都是。。。
“他们，他，它，那些”
对他人的在乎，
有时真的会演变成
对自己的无视冷落，
对自己的责任也显然
销声匿迹。。。
也许，是时候来个
第一人称了吧？！
=D
好了，
该packing 料 ~
回来有空再update下厚。

Bad weather = good food
The weather has been really bad for the whole week.
Bloody wet, cold and windy.

STEAMBOAT, it has to be!!
Recently found a video which points out the social dilemma in our current digital savvy world.
What's on your mind? from Shaun Higton on Vimeo.

廿四岁
转眼间，
我们都已快过二四。
果然，
时间是无情的bitch.
无不幸饶的镰刀。
但，人老心不老，
我们要永远
awesome!!!
哈哈。。。
二四的生活，也许
在年底会再起变化。
Well, 也许随波逐流吧？
归老窝，
找新窝，
黏旧窝。。。
都还捉拿不定。
可能找个富婆（也许两三个）
嫁了，算了吧？
哈哈。。。CHOI!
TOUCHWOOD!!!
当然。。。
我乃草民一个，
没什么大愿望，
只愿我俩
一切顺心，顺意，安康
和夏天要好好的。
要不时慰问她。
饿了就买些吃的给她。
所谓，
民以食为天。
吃饱了，
谈起什么事来
(包括爱情)
会更加顺畅的。
女人二十八天里，
总有那几天是
比较懊恼的。
如果她闹脾气，
以其跟她拗，
快！快！快！快！
快买些吃的给她，
安慰女生，
肥滋滋甜腻腻的食物
最有效的了！
还有，别忘了
如果养肥了，
就是你的了！
呵呵呵呵。。。
(狂笑 ING)
如果我的春天来了
会让你过目的。
注：“春”（Hokkien拼法）
“出春”的“春”
XP
天天开心
年底一起
玩翻澳大利亚！

Recent movies
Well, with the semester break kickstarted,
it's time to let the hair down for 3 weeks before
pandemonium sets in for the final sem.
Recently watched my first indie movie on vimeo.
Titled "I Am Not A Hipster".
It's a story about Brook,
an Indie artist,
a man in San Diego.
Another movie that really
connect and focus
on human relationship,
after "Little Miss Sunshine".
Be it a man's relationship
With his 3 sisters,
his dad,
his best friend,
acquaintances, loved ones,
or the society in general.
Personally, I'm
not a big fan of Hipster-ism,
nor against it.
But the movie somehow
able to show that we
do share some connections,
no matter who
or what you are.
Brook and his 3 sisters,
reminded me of my own.
Pretty much the same,
just that mine's a
set of 1 girl with 3 boys.
Coincidentally,
my sis sings pretty well too!
=D
Personal favourite scene is
the one in classroom.
where Brook sings with the elementary kids
and his 3 sisters.
(I've never imagined hipsters could be teachers till now)
Music just makes sense
without any reasoning.
*I don't know what I'm talking bout*
hahahahha....
Watch it if you have the free time.
"It moved me,
made me think,
and honestly blew me away."
Favourite track:
Canines - Black Bay

计划延后
前一阵子，
脑子里不断地充斥着纽西兰之旅。
本来打算是和朋友齐行的。
但。。。
谢哦，仓库里多了只鸽子。
之后干脆把它改成了
纽西兰南岛大冒险！
计划是这样的。。。。
租一辆脚踏车，
加上轻便的行李，
不受约束地
把整个南岛绕完！
取消的前一晚，
一直盯着NZ Airline 的SALE倒数器。
从十二小时到临终的十二分钟，
我这痴心汉还呆呆地滞望着电脑屏幕。
别谈当晚的睡眠了。。。
根本就无法依时入眠。
满脑子里都是
去！不去！
去！不去！
去！不去！
去！不去！
去！不去！
去！不去！
最后还是
不去了。。。
*叹了一个60秒的气*
想去的地点，
路线住宿国家公园等，
其实都标得八八九九了。
唉。。。
这就是所谓的只欠东风啊~
*磨蹭着双手*
纽西兰！
终究会将你擒下！
*吼！！！*
最后。。。端午过了，
粽子竟然都没吃到！*忙*
咳。。。还有，
家里应该榴莲味浓到不能再浓了吧？
=(
好啦。。。
天锅啦！

Withdrawal symptoms
Been having withdrawal symptoms for day...
Hmmm...
Definitely not drugs,
Not coffee
Nor chocolate or
any of the hometown street food.
I miss travelling!!!
I miss my
BACKPACK!!!!!
DAMMN!
=S
A peak into the thing that's in my mind.....
Stay tuned....
Who knows,
adrenaline might give me that final irrational push.
*ROARRRRR*

Tassie songbird
It's been some time since I last did some music hopping...
well... it means listening to some random artists.
This time I've discovered that
tassie actually has some hidden gem as well.
Featured artist : Chris Coleman
Out of all his work on Your tube,
I personally like this one the most.
Somehow, images of my parents just appeared
out of no where.
=')
Not sure which stage are they in now.
But,
do hope that all is fine back home.
Miss you guys <3. *ewww*
Another track that I like is his "Go Home".
"I don't care.
You get up
get dressed
wash face, breakfast
walk under streetlight
till you get home.
Fall down
deep breath
smile, fake it
you'll be fine,
soon you'll be home."
It somehow depicts the moment
when you feel like doing nothing.
especially with winter around the corner.
*sigh*
still ...
"You get up,
get dressed
wash face
breakfast.
Go home."

家常
前天乃母情节，
当然少不了和家里两老的skype。
依旧地嘘寒问暖，
聊南说北，
天气，季节，
早，午，晚餐，
零钱开销，
功课学业，
房友同学。。。
哈。。。有得聊的都聊。
挂电话之前，
还跟老妹跟姑姑
哈啦了一番。
过后，当然是刷牙准备睡觉。
刷着刷着，
看见镜子里的自己，
经然开始冒“白毛”了。
没有十，也有二十根吧。
突然，感觉家里老的们
也真的不年轻了。
离开老家也有一段时间了。
hmmm....
几天前看了《舌尖上的》,
中国的美食节目
当集题材为《家常》。
相信每个人都有自己的“家常"，
但我的和食物是分不开的。
尤其是和食物与家人的回忆。
记忆里最深的有：
老妈的酸梅鸡，
酸酸甜甜的，特别开胃。
往往被我们一扫而空。
英女王的炒蛋baked beans，
那出不了厅堂的卖相
和不怎么样的味道。
但往往老妈不在时，
这道菜是我和阿晟最常吃的。
方便，快捷，饱肚！
回忆里，老爸是不下厨的。
但，我和猪猪却吃了不少他的手艺，
拿手菜 - 《快炒藤条》。
哈哈，都怪当年皮嘛！
小叔的《tartare sauce》
调得特别和胃，
但没记错的话，
我只吃过一次。
（相信他应该不知道我记得吧？）
芳姑和二姑的糕点
前无古人，后无来者。
中西，马来，印度，
你说得出来，
她们一定能够做出来。
外婆的“阿札”
凉凉脆脆的口感，
加上红润的色泽，
入口立即 ”KAPOW!"
把人带到九霄云外。
小姑则拿手煎“米昏贵”
a.k.a “米粉糕”。
小时后看她那双
玲珑的会计快手，
把面糊舀入热了的锅。
“tolong 阿滋”的煎响声，
几十片的米粉糕即
大公告成！
大伯母和五婶的
咖喱鸡和 pie tee
walauh.... 讲到我的口水直流。
哈哈。。。
和二伯母吃的时间并不多，
但，最记得小时候和她一起
用锅铲焙玉米花。
粟米爆开的瞬间，
哔哔！啵啵！
如果开心是能够用声音来叙述的话，
我会说是爆米花的声音。
五叔的厨艺也不是盖的哦！
他那超标的身材就是
最好的见证！
出得厅堂，
进得厨房，
上得大床的男人！
给你个赞！
好了。。。别写太多，
免得又饿了。
=D
当然少不了和家里两老的skype。
依旧地嘘寒问暖，
聊南说北，
天气，季节，
早，午，晚餐，
零钱开销，
功课学业，
房友同学。。。
哈。。。有得聊的都聊。
挂电话之前，
还跟老妹跟姑姑
哈啦了一番。
过后，当然是刷牙准备睡觉。
刷着刷着，
看见镜子里的自己，
经然开始冒“白毛”了。
没有十，也有二十根吧。

也真的不年轻了。

寂寞的季节
秋冬迹象
偷偷地浮现。
夏日踪迹
早已
乏人问津。
秋季
绿荫转赤。
漂洒街头的枫叶
虽艳丽撩人
但，其寂寞
涩然难掩。
刺骨寒风
体力消耗得较多
饭也自然地多扒一些。
看来，
是时候“增福”了！
这时候听陶喆的《寂寞季节》
最适合不过了。
“從回憶我慢慢穿越
在這寂寞的季節
還是寂寞的季節
一樣寂寞的季節”

My childhood bucket list
When I was a kid, hygiene never seems to be an issue.
My bro, counsins and I used to sneak a couple cutleries out,
and "carve" our own canals on the courtyard's ground.
Sense of satisfaction was the MAX when it rained.
The mud and tiny scattered Milo-coloured pools
naturally formed our very own themepark.
It's so fun that even ourselves forgotten how many cacing
It's so fun that even ourselves forgotten how many cacing
actually sneak into our buttholes...hahahhahah
Good times, those were really some good times.
Well, not to forget all the nagging
and smacking/rotan-ing followed though.
*chuckles*
Last weekend, got an opportunity to
join the uni's student services and accommodation Mudrun team!
As usual, none of my classmates are interested..... *SIGH*
Bunch of poop-sies! haha... (don't take me too seriously)
The MudRun is a true childhood dream comes true!
You get to toss, turn, roll, glide, paddle.......
IN THE MUD!!!
without having to worry about mums/aunties
yelling at us.
"I'm so gonna GET YALL!" |
| Signing the forms |
 |
| The UTAS UniM8 team! *before we get all muddy and mushy!* |
 |
| Mmm....mmm.... hhahhahahahha Wearing ur undies outside turned out to be quite a good idea actually. |
 |
| Hillbert seems to be s confused as Wallies were never so easily spotted. |
 |
| Grace! the UniM8 girl! |
 |
| Masa! Our team captain with his GoPro! |
 |
| GET! SET! GOOOOOO! |
 |
| Teenage mutants, Ninja Mudfish! |
 |
| before Kat loose her balance and fall.... and Hayden's clearly already out of control. |
 |
| My favourite part, the WATER!!! |
Conclusion of the day:
Great day,
great weather
*sunny but stll freezing*
*sunny but stll freezing*
and great TEAM!
Felt like a total pig for a day =P
Dirt and mud has never been so in-trend
and longkang water never feel so refreshing!
despite a few people sprained their ankles and
cuts from some pebbles,
we shall join it again in September!
=D

end of break
Had a day bushwalking with friends 2 days ago.
Weather was forecasted to be pretty bad, but
screw it.... not much time's left!!
Still can't believe that we actually departed at 0300!
Main reason is to witness the wild animals around the
National Park. Buuuuuuut.....
we couldn't locate the actual starting point of the track
and wouldn't want to get lost right before school starts.
So, we had to stay in the car...
While my friends were catching some nap,
I was enjoying my star gazing.
Caught a few shooting starts ...
No wish was made, but still HAPPY.
* sadly no photo from my cheap canon compact*
It's supposed to be an 6-8 hour walk thingy.
But too little time to finish it,
plus my walkmates were pretty exhausted
after the 1st half (which lead to me walking for another 2 hours alone)
A short day walk with sweet weather, gentle wind,
and awesome friends.

| From the top viewing onto Springlawn Lagoon |
Most of the track pass through a swampy area *the entire track sits right next to the beach/cliff*
It took us nearly 2 hours to reach the top of the first hill.
from there you can have a magnificent view onto the Narrawntapu wetland, Springlawn Lagoon and the coast (refer to the 1st photo).
After conquering the top, we turned back a little bit and head to the beach.
We then walked for another 15 mins and decided that we have to bring lunch out earlier. FYI, we woke up at around 2am to prepare.
I was wondering what's in Ridz bag for quite some time till .....
After our early lunch, Ridz decided to take a nap. (as usual)
From there on, I walked on myself, for another 2 hours plus.
As I walk further and further eastwards,
and birds, wallabies, pademelons can be noticed easily.

| Into the wild! |

Surprisingly, we're greeted by the wild flowers! =D

| The 'ka-chang' |
 |
| Even had dumplings in the middle of no where! #asian for life.... haha |
 |
| One of my friends even brought his coffee maker... LOL typical archi student! =D |

| XP |
 |
| Auntie Corrinnes decided to just stay at the beach, do some yoga, take selfies and be a typical gadgets slave *sigh* |
Things I came across:
 |
| Nature's ornaments |
the landscape starts to change,
so as the floral.
and they looked so much similar to South Australian landscape.
 |
| Coastal line dotted with 'Black boy trees' scientific name: Xanthorrhoea australia |
 |
| Some unknown dried plants |
 |
| Nature, me and my shadow |
 |
| The trio |
Short but awesome day out.
=D
