Western VS Asian

  Went to Burger King this afternoon for my lunch… Well, complain a bit first… For the first time, after having the whole set of meal, I still able to take my dinner… Normally, I wont able to take my dinner after I had my LARGE meal at Burger King…… Strange, just now after my meeting, I still can finish a “Wantan Ho” and it’s consider a big meal also… Until now i still felt very full……..

  Back to today’s topic~~~~ I taking my lunch alone as usual, and which sometimes I enjoyed it… Because, without someone talking to me, I able to see around (this is one of the thing that i like to do)… I mean, sometimes, I love to have a look around and “observing” what normally people did during thier lunch time, taking lunch, hang with friends, shopping……..

  Today, besides me there is one foreign, at that moment, don’t know why, suddenly recall something… I can’t remember who say that to me…. It’s about the western and the asian… The interesting thing is about when western take their meal at fast food restaurant, after they finished, they will and they need to clean up, not really clean up but need to send thier tray to the dispose place….. But asian, sorry~~ They will leave it at the table, and someone (the staff/worker) will clean it up…..

  When this turns as a habit for the asian, there is one asian, I think is Sabahan, if not mistake, is he….. He went to Australia, study oversea, and went for fast food restaurant, and naturally he left after his meal…… And he actually felt strange why everyone clean up before they leave……. When this story is shared to me, I know that’s the difference between western and asian…. And I think this is caused by calture……

  This noon, after the foreign finish his meal, he stood up and take the tray and put the burger’s paper, fries’ paper into the tray and bring it to throw…… I don’t felt strange, but I wondering….. The reaction of the worker/staff there~~~~ I think very soon, the staff there take over everything.. and do the clean up…. After when my turn is finished, I start wondering…… Should I leave it there or I need to take to the disposal place?? Unfortunalely I am an asian, I choose to leave it at the table……

 Thanks so much!!

　　Thanks to those who give me help, give me chance, give me confident~~~ I know, most of the time, I really lack of confidence, and always bring myself into a dark place, and make myself lost inside….

　　Sometimes, I can bring myself into a very confident way, but once I bring myself there, I have a felt, a feeling tells me that, why I didn’t do it better? Suppose I can did it better… The more I wish I can did it better, it getting worse in the end….

　　I had my first experience of being MC in such a quite formal activity… I can felt that I did a worst job that I never did…. For so far, until last night (I mean Monday night). Well, it happen in very sudden, and at the same times, all the things in my mind is the youth club things… And that’s actually didn’t make my brain be clear? I hate when i have this kind of excuses~~~

　　That excuses actually make me felt like I still kinda weak on being MC, coz in a short time period, I can’t get myself prepare~~ A little dissappointment for myself, however!! I know I should and I will do it better next time!!

　　Thanks to the youth club gave me a sweet chance~~~ Being Secertary is something I always afraid of….. And this time, they gave me a chance, and happy to say that, they “look high” on me….. And which i also very afraid, letting them down…. I will dissappointed them….. So many fears….. And are these fears will be overcomed?

　　Sometimes, I felt weird, why I can be so confident sometimes, and suddenly I was soo fears of all the things……..

冲动？丧失理智？

　　很奇怪，忽然整个人的情绪变得好奇怪……虽然我算是经得起打击的人，可是最近不少的事情都让我觉得很气馁？很失败……甚至觉得自己很腐败～～～

　　我在想，我对别人的承诺，是否能像在我Blog里的歌一样，作出一个承诺，并且实现那个承诺~~~~~半个月快过了~~~六月也眨个眼就完了，忽然好想和芳颖一样，重拾书包，回到校园里~~~

　　忽然想起刚才吃饭的时候看到刘德华的戏，戏里的老人说，人生的美妙，人生不必从头开始，可悲的是，人生不能重新开始～～～我一直在想，如果这一切都很早发生，今天的我又是一个怎样的人呢？对，我一直只是在想，如果当初是如何如何，何不现在就如何如何，而在一年后的今天对自己说，一年前这样开始，果然还没迟！

　　忽然发现，家里的担子，好像默默的往我身上搁了～～～以前最不想面对的东西，如今要慢慢开始接受了～～～～～好像很无奈，可是，我却比很多人信服很多？？满足吧，知足吧，加油吧！！

　　本来觉得不开心，忽然变成开导自己了，哈哈～～真的很可爱～～

Incredible Coincidence

  Today, I went to a talk, which i prefer to call it as “Class”, ‘coz I learned things there… Start a new life, meeting different of people… Unexpecting exprience that I actually can gain from there~~

  However, during the talk/seminar/class, today lesson is about “Visualizing”.. What to Visualized? Visualize for the future… When using the short 5 minutes time, what I visualize is, having small plantation around the house, plan a lot of trees, major for sure, fruits… And also plant some vege… Somehow, I just enjoy so much on planting…

  Then what I learned today is, do not give permission to people that want to pull us down…NEVER!! Faced few “trouble”/”comment” on something~~ I actually felt kinda “sienz” (boring) with it…. Basically, I like to “walk” with my feel, I “work” with my feel somehow… Someone told me, it’s wrong actually, coz’ your feeling will not always correct~~ Human, still need to be realistic…I kinda hate these phases…… I mean~~ Yes, I agree that we must be realistic, just we should put trust at the people that we knew…

  However, today’s topic is about~~ What I “learned” from the class, and go home check for daily thing~~ and I found out this at my friendster..

The people who have been teaching or guiding you are loving the changes they’ve helped you make! They are very impressed by your accomplishments and are going to be heaping a ton of praise and admiration on you right now. Don’t be surprised if other people show signs of jealousy — you are getting into the good graces of some very influential people and they want to be there, too. You can give them some advice, but only if you are feeling charitable.

  Somehow, I do felt slightly changes in my own~~ But I don’t know, how many people realized it…

  Before go to the class that I attend, I talk to a friend, (she’s a friend of my k-gor), we chit chat a lot, from there, I traced back a lot of my previous time, my high school life, I mention about one friend, and for me, she’s this type of person as state above, people that show signs of jealousy… And what I learned from the lesson, she’s the type of people that i need to stop!! I mean stop her from pulling me down~~ haha~~

  Ok, start a bit of non-sense~~a bit out of topic~~ just take this as my practical of writing blog in english~~~

女孩埋瓦礫看書驅恐懼 什邡市逾1300死 7校垮塌

 (明報) 05月 15日 星期四 05:10AM

【明報專訊】世紀大地震後，災區廢墟下上演了一齣齣感天動地的故事。四川    什邡市一名貧困家庭的小女孩鄧清清，面對死神的威脅，表現出驚人的毅力。當她被埋在黑暗的廢墟時，為驅除心中的恐懼，

鄧清清頑強地亮手電筒看書，靜心等待救援。她的意志終於戰勝死神，她的勵志精神也激勵了其他被困者求生的欲望，鄧清清終於獲救。

據四川《天府早報》報道，汶川震災造成什邡逾1300人死亡，2000多人受傷，20萬多人受災。山區7所中小學校垮塌，千餘名師生被埋廢墟之中；3個大中型企業的廠房和職工宿舍垮塌，千餘名職工被埋。

突如其來的災難，讓鎣華鎮中學的教學樓一下子塌下，100多名學生埋在廢墟中生死不明；教師陳全紅一直默默流淚，「他們一天前還是活蹦亂跳的，一下子就變成了這樣呢？」

為圓鋼琴夢 戰勝死神

當鄧清清被武警官兵搶救了出來時，讓陳老師與官兵們感動的是，這個女孩還在廢墟裏面亮手電筒看書。她說﹕「下面一片漆黑，我怕。我又冷又餓，只能靠看書緩解心中的害怕！」陳全紅一下子哭了，抱鄧清清連說：「好孩子，只要你能活出來，就比什麼都好」。

另一名被壓在廢墟裏的女孩子羅瑤，雖然手腳受傷，仍一遍遍地哼樂曲，靠頑強的「鋼琴夢想」激勵自己不要入睡，結果戰勝了死神。

初中二年班女生蔣德佳被救出後，念念不忘初三一班的學姐廖麗。她哽咽說，事發時，她只聽見一陣陣驚慌的尖叫聲後就昏過去了。醒來時，白天已變成黑夜，渾身痛得要命，她想起身，卻被一塊塊破碎的水泥板壓住。在飢寒交迫中，一身是傷的她好幾次想入睡，但上方有一個女孩的聲音傳了過來﹕「千萬不要睡，你一睡，萬一醒不來怎麼辦？」

女生互激勵﹕不要睡

被碎石壓在上面無法動彈的女孩告訴蔣德佳，自己叫廖麗，是初中三年級一班的學生。她和小蔣雖不相識，但聽到其呻吟聲後，擔心她在疲倦中不小心睡着了丟命，就鼓勵她要堅強地活下去。為了贏得生機，兩人在廢墟裏互相鼓勵，最終為逃出生天贏得了時間。廖麗獲救後，接着蔣德佳也出來了。蔣德佳說，「我們經過了生死考驗結下的情誼，將一生無法忘卻」。

（我的看后语）

　　人与人之间往往是有着很奇妙的关系在其中，而最美妙的是，原来“大难来临各自飞”这句话有时是不对的，最起码，但大家有共同的大难时，大家都会为彼此打气，加油……鼓励……在没人的帮助下，生存的意念和个人的意志往往是生存的最强意念……在新闻的开始有说到，有一个是看书，一个是以自己喜欢的钢琴，音乐的旋律来支持自己……

拚死救孕婦創奇蹟 妻被壓危樓 夫哀求施援

 (明報) 05月 15日 星期四 05:10AM

【明報專訊】「她懷了我的孩子，8個月了……困了48小時還沒救出來，我怎麼辦？」大地震動，又一幢7層高豆腐渣樓房崩潰塌下，都江堰的士司機潘運成的4名家人全部被活埋，救援人員雖從狹縫中看到潘妻的臉，但由於樓房可能一碰即倒，各人不敢輕舉妄動。時間一分一秒過去，在家屬哭罵哀求下，救援人員拚死一博，終在孕婦被困50小時後創造奇蹟，把她和其母親一併救出。

正當搜救人員蹦起歡呼合照之時，身後卻又傳來悽厲的哭怨聲：「還有我的父親、我的母親啊！你們怎麼不救他啊！」救兵看到叩頭流涕的家屬，再也笑不出聲。災難中總有奇蹟，但絕望的人卻有更多。

「你看！這大樓垮成這樣，你看到有多少根鋼筋？這樣豆腐渣能不倒嗎？」地震時，都江堰觀景街不少幾十年的老房子完好無缺，但那幢10多年樓齡的住宅卻一震即潰，原本2米多高的二樓牆壁全斷，對上5層支離破碎的樓房壓下，潘的父母、妻子及岳母全被活埋。建築物的結構完全外露，但逾半牆壁都看不到鋼筋。正在上班的潘運成趕返家中，發現自己的家被壓至只剩不足2呎高，嚇得臉如死灰。

幸運的是，僅有的橫樑撐出一條讓潘妻張曉燕和家姑活命的空間。「她打電話出來，一直哭，說很害怕……她懷了8個月身孕，我幫孩子改好了名字，生女的叫彩雲，生男的就叫天寸。」但搜救人員遲遲不敢妄動，「這大樓塌得太厲害，專家評估的安全系數是零」。倖存者的生還機會也是零？消防員沉默。

危房破開石屎 滿街屏息靜看

寶貴的時間不斷流逝。「快48個小時了，我不斷逼他們救人，但他們就是不肯。」焦急的潘運成唯有從隙縫爬進去，「我從一條20厘米闊的縫裏看到妻子，看到她的眼睛，摸到她的頭髮，她還清醒，就是不能救她出來……」潘運成和消防員不斷爬進去送水、雞蛋、香腸，但昨早11時又發生一次餘震，上層又塌了一次。「你不要走，我好害怕！快救我出去，就在這裏一直陪我好嗎？」消防隊長對搜救完全沒有把握，拒絕潘運成逗留太久：「如果再塌，我們都會沒命！」

「快點，快點救她……我一定會好好珍惜她……」昨午3時，在潘運成和他兩名妹妹不斷催促下，消防員決定孤注一擲，出動鐵鉗電鑽，鑽開石屎救人，但每鑽一次都可能導致幾千噸的大樓全面崩潰。數十人在街上屏息以待，個多小時後，消防員終於把張曉燕和她母親救了出來。「奇蹟，這是奇蹟！什麼也不重要了！」兩天沒睡的潘運成疲憊不堪地說。

歡呼聲未止 哀號聲又起

「我們成功啦！」搜救人員歡呼聲響起，爭相拍照留念，興奮讓他們一時忘記了廢墟裏還有多條人命。歡笑聲未止，哀號又起。「還有我的父親、我的母親啊！你們怎麼不救他啊！」潘運成的兩個妹妹跪在地上，不斷向家叩頭跪拜，哭成淚人，但消防員說：「沒有生命象了，不是我們不想救……」奇蹟之後，剩下絕望，「我苦命的爸啊！」地震中，酸甜苦辣，百味交侵。
