Tired

I'm so tired.

Of?

Of things that come endlessly. Of assignments that come one after another. And last but not least, tired of myself, at times.

I need a break.

Not in Miri. Neither in Kuching too.

Just somewhere else where I don get to see the everyday-things that I face here. Two or three days will do.

An escape. For my weary mind and soul.

The Great Painting of Mona Lisa

The great painting of Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, hangs in Musee du Louvre, Paris

Just read an article on Yahoo News about Mona Lisa. It says "new images has uncovered 25 secrets of Mona Lisa, including proof that Leonardo da Vinci gave her eyebrows, solving a long-held mystery."

I was like "Huh? So?" after reading this. I wonder why people would invest so much time and resources on such a painting.

Perhaps you feel like shooting me now, accusing me for having simply no taste at all in arts. But think again. Alright, so da Vinci really gave her eyebrows. So the 'mysterious smile' actually means she was pregnant, revealing a mother's glee. So the smile really signifies da Vinci's erotic attraction to his mother. Mysteries. All solved. Hooooray.

SO?

It's not like da Vinci's gonna bounce up from his coffin and say "Hey, you are so right!". And then award you a da Vinci Award for outstanding brilliance and contribution in understanding his magnum opus (Vocab of the day: It means the best, most popular or most renowned work of an artist, writer or composer).

Nop da Vinci's not gonna do that. I mean he can't do that. Sorry folks, he died centuries ago.

So what good are these facts gonna do to the society? Is it gonna feed those hunger-striken children in Africa? Or bring any scientific breakthrough to our modern world?

NO.

One of the researcher, Cotte, while giving his remarks on a zoomed-in image of Mona Lisa's left eye that reveal a single brush stroke in the eyebrow region, said this:

"I am an engineer and scientist, so for me all has to be logical. It was not logical that Mona Lisa does not have any eyebrows or eyelashes."

I was about to say "shame on you as an engineer" upon reading this. Haha. An engineer investigating whether da Vinci added eyebrows for Mona Lisa. C'mon, use your brains to do research on global warming la, hybrid cars la, or anything also can la! At least it can do some good to the society.

Better than looking and researching on a dead painting everyday.

The greatest breakthrough that you may find, well, is perhaps:

Hey! I found a mole on Mona Lisa's left cheek!

Good Stuff

Take a look at this winning essay of Commonwealth Essay Competition, written by a 15-year-old.

Who Am I

Who am I,
that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt.

Who am I,
that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart.

Who Am I,
that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.

Who Am I,
that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me.

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You're

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind.

Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours.

感恩

在你面前，我只是一个不配的罪人，你竟顾念我。我的一切一切都是从你而来，就连我的生命我都不能自救。在你面前我有什么可夸的呢？

没有，真的，一点都没有。我只能不住的感恩。

窗里，窗外

如往常的雨天一样，今天我乘科丁的巴士从校舍回家。雨后的大地，一片清澈，风景也格外优美。夕阳的残晖遇上空气中的水珠，映出七彩夺目的彩虹。

我很欣赏窗外这一幕，让我经过一天的劳碌后，心灵感觉很平静，很舒服。

欣赏着大自然的美景，忽然发现巴士窗口正中央的有一小个黑点。真扫兴。整幅景色，都被这小点给毁了。我不再往窗外望，宁愿错过这美景，也不愿意看着那碍眼的黑点。

巴士到了站。我一边往家的方向走，一边思索：为了一小点放弃一整幅美景，值得吗？为何窗外的一切景色，竟敌不过那一丁点的瑕疵？ 我回头看，试着寻找刚刚最美的那一幕，但我找不着。彩虹早已消失了。

我低头，心中默想：人生不也是这样吗？往往因为一丁点微不足道的瑕疵，而放弃那更多美好的。再回头时，已晚了。

珍惜吧。

E-A-T

I just had chicken alfredo for lunch at Miri's I-forgot-wat's-the-name restaurant. The ambience was great, taste was fantastic...

BUT still...

I miss this bowl of kueh chap from Kuching kopitiam.

And not to forget this...

Can I have one, please? :(

何日再相逢

今天是十月六号，星期六。仔细一数，我在美里的日子，就快要两年了。时间还真的没等我，自己先跑了，而且还跑得很快很快。回头一看，两年就这样过了。

两年了，我送走了两位好朋友，去外地升造。第一个就是你啦， Pang Chen Sin，这无情的家伙，一声不响就跑到 Adelaide 去。


看你几爽，和袋鼠合影。。。你也真够吝啬的咯，去那么久就寄这么一张照片回来给我们。很想念那时刚开学我们常到 Clemson 的房间聊天，一起在那食物油腻，价钱又死不贵的 hostel canteen 吃晚餐。还有你笑起来时的那两颗白兔牙，呵呵。。

第二位，是我近乎完美的朋友。。。宽中理五的 Aric 黄铭峰，又称“阿侠”，目前在 Monash KL Campus. 他真是超强的咯，什么科都可以拿到接近满分，又会弹钢琴啦，打篮球啦。。。还是跆拳道亚军捏！ 人很好，不骄傲，又教会了我很多东西。。

第三位， Jerome Julian，我的前 housemate 兼 coursemate 兼 classmate.

不要问为什么你这张照片拍成这个样子，因为我也不知道。明年二月你就要飞到 Perth 去了。我想我不会送你，因为我不想看着你的背影渐行渐远，接着慢慢从我眼界消失。现在你人的还没走，我就已感觉到你走以后，日子一定不同了。难得找到一位要好的朋友，这么快就要飞了。还记得上次第一次失恋，不经意间掉泪的时候，你转过身来，看见我的一举一动，亲亲地拍了一拍我的肩，对我说“Don be sad， if u have anything within, tell me whenever u feel comfortable with，ok? I'm here." 你没有追问，也没有给再多的劝告。那一拍, 那一句，那被关心的感觉，我都可以体会到，这就够了。

在 Curtin 有很多朋友 - 点头朋友，课业上的朋友，吃喝玩乐的朋友，甚至有些是就在有事情要问你的时候就忽然间会出现的朋友。。。但真正的朋友，屈指可数。好朋友一个接一个地走了，我在这里继续奋斗。何日再相逢，我不知道，就只能期待那一天的到来，祝你们安好，一切顺利吧！

幸福

每次看韩剧的时候，免不了有别离。 一对情侣，往往因为一些原因（比如一方快要失明了，得了癌症，或即将远去等等几乎每一部韩剧都会出现的剧情）而分开。

我不是一个超级韩剧迷，但对一些有意义的韩剧，我会真的真的很痴迷的。 其中我最爱的那最经典，也最常出现的对白，是“要幸福哦！”。双方在万般无奈的情况下分开，但依然祝福对方的幸福。

只是有时候想想，这句话，真得很讽刺。在没有了你的世界里，能多幸福啊？这幸福，真的能靠自己争取的吗？当你说“要幸福”的时候，可曾想过，这幸福是想“要”，就可以得到的吗? 还是，幸福，是因为有了彼此，才能体会到的？

若让我选择如何去寻找幸福，我选后者。幸福，是当两颗心连成一线时，才感受到的。

祝福你，幸福，快乐。
