forgot to mention that i got a free 4gb thumbdrive from SCTU, haha now i can back up all my photos there... but think i shall get a external hard disk soon, to back up all my photos and stuff.. actually only photos, cos the other stuff are not that important lol...

now channel 8 is showing a travel variety show, where they travelled to Mongolia... looks nice, quite alot of stuff to see... looking forward to Yunnan trip in Nov ^_^ hopefully it'll be as fun as the Beijing trip last year =)

now i know, travelling and gaining more insights is a great way of enjoying life, i shall work towards the goal of travelling at least once per year =)

Am back from Genting trip! I love the weather there, always so cooling... Slept quite alot, its more of a trip for me to relax and enjoy...went to visit the 蓬莱仙境，which is a temple of 清水祖师。Chin Swee Caves Temple:


this is taken on bus, reaching the temple..


this is the pagoda..


this is actually a very big wall with water, but it can't be seen clearly...


there's a part of the place that reminds me of Haw Par Villa, as they also showcase the 'torturing' methods in hell, but there's only 10, and not 十八层地狱 as we usually said... i think it may be a good way to teach children of moral ethics.. i din take any pictures of that cos the sky seems dark so we walked very quickly thru that...
Its really a nice place, with beautiful scenery and nice sights to see... something of vast difference from Genting highlands, where everything is commercialised and looks just like any other shopping centres...

Back from the holiday, its time for me to start working on my assignments and study for the upcoming test...

《门徒》中的一句对白：“是毒品恐怖，还是空虚恐怖？”

Got this candy in rooster shape at Chinese Garden on Wed... So nice the person does it on the spot... Anyway, have not been to Chinese Garden for like so many years, I think its 10 years ago since I last went there... This year is Sanrio theme, so got all the Hello Kitty and Friends, My Melody and stuff... what i like most is the Kerokeropi! hahah took quite alot of photos, but too lazy to post them up...

Am supposed to go watch Crosstalk last night, but fall sick :(

Shall go and do my work now, an essay due on fri and a presentation on thur... Not much mood to do though.. just hope that everything goes fine tmr...

Had a great CME trip yesterday with my class! and the free Sg flyer ride makes us all 'high'.. lol.. Come to think of it, it has been long since my last 'learning journey' that i had... its nice to have classmates who are all bonded, had lots of fun...

直上重楼去藏身
四围荆棘绕为林
天高君命长和短
得一分成失二人

I think alot of things is defined by the way we see it, or rather, how we perceived things.. you'll enjoy the event if you think you will.. on the other hand, if you alr think that its going to be a boring event and dread going to it, it sure will be boring... so we should always look on the brighter side, and see everything as a great learning opportunity, be it from events or from the people around you..

so, learn to appreciate everything that is happening, because it all happens with a reason...

saw this quote on NEL screen "Sometimes your joy is your source of smile, sometimes your smile can be your source of joy."

am supposed to promote 一则《论语》today, but cos i hav to miss my tutorial, i miss the chance of presenting.. dunno why but feel kind of disappointed, cos i'm quite looking forward to it as i thought its going to be interesting... i even prepared the ppt slides and thought of my speech... tot i'll feel happy to be able to skip the presentation, but i'm not really feeling so..

or perhaps, its just that today is not a good day to start with... :( maybe its not that bad, maybe its just me thinking too much.. but no, what i foresee will happen really happened.. but it came just a bit too fast isn't it? well anyway, 船到桥头自然直，相信一切都会过去。一切问题总有解决方法，一定会有的。i'm looking forward to acz excursion tomorrow, i'm sure i'll be able to embrace it with happiness, with all the nice classmates around, it'll sure be a happy and enjoyable event...

每逢星期五的道德与教育教学法课总是让我获益良多。许多似懂非懂的道理顿时变得更为清晰，令我恍然大悟，偶尔也为自己的某些行为感到愧疚。同时也让我觉得，生命的可贵在于你如何生活，如何处事待人。如果生命不会使他人获益，那活着又有何意义？真诚待人，善待他人，使他人的生命更丰富多彩，这样生命才有意义。

宿命既是如此，能够更改吗？

Finally, my AED201 presentation ended!! haha am so happy ^_^ I'm so amazed by the way our tutor summarises up the whole module.. like turning one big round to shoot ppl lol..

learnt about 亲属关系today.. as in how should we address our aunties and uncles.. though nowadays many ppl just call 'aunty' and 'uncle', so they might not even know who that person is lol.. i guess this is part of the chinese culture that i like, cos we can clearly distinguish who is who..
