CNY

Chinese New Year

Literally, it's a special festival and holiday for those being at different places to go home and reunite with their family members and all loved ones. There are a lot of Do's and Don't's during the festival. It is celebrated from the eve up to the fifteenth day of the duration. Each festival day carries different and unique meaning. *blabla*

Well.. Old granny stories. I could memorise these from the front to the back and from the last sentence back to the front. Personally the way I treat CNY is more of sustance over form. I make it a task to comprehend the inherent and coherent meanings of every single session and ritual. It is filled with mysterious festive colour blending with the attractiveness of the ethnic especially living in a multi-cultural country harmoniously.

Talking and Doing are two differentiated things. I go home as the time stipulated. I helped out in any way I can for my family. I painted the old colour-fading door. I captured every single precious moment with them. I pretended like I am a very good child. I took the initiative and greeted every relative with nice words just to avoid any further talk-behind regarding my manner. The way my parents raised me was different. They tell you what and when and who, but you gotta sort it out how by yourself.

It's already the sixth of Lunar. It nearly marks the end of my holiday and retreat because I gotta embark on my part time career life soon. But wait, I am not quite ready to be back to the hustling and bustling city life! Rescue me... Help...

Happy CNY

...Happy Wesak Day!

Happy Mother's Day

When you were young

They spent a lot of time teaching you the correct way to use the cutlery

You've been taught to wear your clothes, tie the shoelace or button in a proper way

They taught you to clean your face and comb your hair

They taught all the doctrines of being a human

Do you remember that you had always asked them where did you come from?

Therefore...

When they grow older one day

Or when they couldn't remember a particular thing or are slow in speaking

Do not put the blame on them

When they tend to forget how to tie the shoelace or button

When they get their clothes stained while having meals

When their hands start to tremble as they are combing

Please do not nudge them and be patient

Because they are growing older each day when you're growing stronger

By the time when you appear in their eyes

They will always feel warm and contented

If there's one day when they are unable to stand still or can't even make a move

Please hold their hands tightly in your hands and walk along with them

Just like...

How they had once held your hands when you were young

Mom, Happy Mother's Day!

CNY

Well~ I have been busying with the household works since I accomplished my final exam of year2 semester2 and went back home. There were loads of works to do, almost driving me nuts. It wasn't simply about sweeping the floor and cleaning the corners. See what I've done.

Looked after a toddle who is so trouble-making. (yet he is adorable when he obeys you and talking to you in a language that only he himself can understand. lol)

Bought some materials such as flour, cocoa powder, raisins etc from grocery shops for my aunt to make cookies for sale. (I guess the cashier is already bored of seeing my face more than twice per day.)

Offered my honourable (=.=)'' assistance to the making of traditional Kuih Kapit. Lit the fire using charcoal which I seldom touch about it. After that my job was to fold the small round pieces of cooked Kuih Kapit into a size of one quarter of a circle. I could obviously feel the heat of Kuih Kapit steaming my fingers that I almost cried out loud. *Don't laugh at me please* Then let the pieces be cold and keep/arrange in the unused & thoroughly washed and dried cream-cracker tins when the temperature of them drops slightly.
(The kuih kapit will be affected with damp if you place it cold for a long time)

Did some cleanup of the house. Cleaned those stubborn dirt and stains to usher the coming of Metal Tiger Lunar New Year.

Made payment of  the unpaid bills. Exchanged new RM notes at Bank.

Visited post office to send my mum some home-made cookies. (I was totally taken aback at the attitude of the Mxxxx servants. Couldn't they just explain nicely & friendly to me the incompatibility instead of elevating your voice your tone your emotion to be tense? Yet there was a notice KINDLY reminding them to welcome customers with smile and service with happiness. But I could feel NEITHER. 凸(=.=)凸 )
*Vision 2020 seems getting further and further away. 

Bought a new jeans for CNY at Billion. Decorated and "reddened" the house.

That's all. By the way I'm not so into CNY mood as though there's a thorn in my flesh but I can't figure it out what the f*cking thing is. Oops.. I'm sorry. Alright.

Wishing you a joyous, prosperous and healthy Chinese New Year 

with the companionship of your beloved ones. 

Gong Xi Fa Cai~!! Ang Pao Gia Lai.. *giggle ^^ 

This is it

Here's to a wonderful New Year.

And a warm adieu to the old! 

Here's to happiness, good times, good cheer.

And the many joys yet to unfold.

May all your wishes come true in the brand new year!! Cheers~!

Birthday

Checked up the calendar.
There are a lot of circles on specific dates.
Definitely they are birthday dates.
September... Loads of friends were born in this month.
*I'm one of them* =D

 

Friends~ Happy Birthday to all of you!!

_________________________________________________

Actually I never demanded too much for my birthday

As long as I feel happy with what's happening & everything goes smoothly.

That's enough and I'll be contented~

I was hoping I would have listened to Lee Hom's songs

& miraculously I got my dreams come true.

Midnight on 28th I woke up as I was terribly hungry.

Going downstairs I, on the double, switched on the TV and moved to kitchen.

I held the bowl of instant noodle carefully and appeared in living room where the TV was on.

Abruptly I looked at the screen.

It was displaying music video of Lee Hom --> "Ultimate Hero"

Unconsciously I turned it to another channel.

What surprised me was that it was another MV of Lee Hom --> "Heartbeat"

I had an incredible and amazing early morning. ^^V

by the way

Thanks a lot for the wishes from all my friends.

THANK YOU. TERIMA KASIH. XIEXIE. NANDRI. SHUKRAN. ARIGATO.

KAMSIAH. TOR CHEH.

Special thanks to Yong Kang, Kia Wooi & Hai Sien.

They made me a memoriable evening at Jusco.

We had dinner at KFC. *sounds weird but it's got fun*

Wandering off inside Jusco for some time after that.

Before heading home, I still managed to purchase a box of 30%-discount Sushi.

NICE~!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last Saturday (09052009)
I went hanging out with my long-time-no-meet friends
In fact
We were planning to celebrate Mosquito's Birthday on that day

However =.=''
Our planning seemed to be a fiasco
As another Gang of friends has already reserved Mosq =(
At last
I followed them to ABC Restaurant
The place where they wanted to meet

We had a really simple but contented, cheerful, radiant and blissful celebration
A Mocha-flavoured cake
Some ex-schoolmates
A fresh restaurant with some dishes
That was merely our ordinary celebration

Kang was having his hair cut while we were celebrating
After that
We headed to Jusco for having a walk
I bought two neckties for the purpose of hosting Orientation Week
Time passed and the skies were embraced by darkness
It was time for us to proceed to another activity

Mosq did not follow us for next station
We were participating in the Wesak Day parade in BM areas
I was so delighted because
I thought have done a good deed

--Being a volunteer for a society, holding a donation bottle and walked along the roadside--

It was tough but fascinating
Moreover
I had never had this kind of experience before
I met a variety of people's behaviour
I came across some funny stuffs
I ran into some old friends whom I know
I gained loads of fun rather than a number of sufferings

What I could conclude is

Broad-minded is the forerunner of all happiness.

Harmonious of religions leads to better understanding in community.

卫塞节2

配合卫塞节的到来，在此分享好听的佛教歌曲。
“宗教谅解，社会和谐”

马来西亚是个宗教自由的国家，每个人都有权力选择及拥有自己的宗教。
所谓的宗教，是富有教义、指引人们向上向善。
所以每个人绝对有自己的权力，
选择一个能够让自己心灵得到寄托、对自己有好的影响力的宗教
而并非盲目地遵从某一个宗教。

佛教其实是一种教育，多于是一种宗教。
两千多年前一盏指引人们的明灯
燃起在古印度的菩提迦耶
照亮了旅人的归途
更点亮了无数的心灵
释迦虽灭 慧灯已传
提灯的人 代代相承
如今你我手上有灯
你我心中有灯
让我们手上的灯 沿传下去
让我们心中的灯 照遍大地
灯灯相续 绵绵无尽
灯灯无尽 绵绵相续


（解脱道 The Buddha Way）



（卫塞节之歌 The Song of Wesak Day）

卫塞节1

佛旗


今年是佛历2553年的卫塞节，今年的庆典主题是“宗教谅解，社会和谐”。
愿大家法喜充满，心光灿烂。

卫塞节

每年到了五月里月圆的这一天，世界各地千千万万的佛教徒，在伟大的佛陀的精神感召下，都很热烈地举行庆祝卫塞节。

<卫塞> 是南印度的巴利语，意思是“月圆”。释迦牟尼佛的诞生、成道、涅槃都在五月里月圆的这一天；所以这一天可说是佛教“三期同一庆”的神圣日子，也称为<佛陀日>，以纪念佛陀的诞生、成道和涅槃三件大事。

我 国是一个宗教信仰自由的国家，在我国三大民族中，以华族同胞信仰佛教最多。所以每年的卫塞节是非常热闹的，而且庆祝的节目也是多姿多彩。在政府方面，早已 把卫塞节规定为公共假期，使佛教徒有充分的时间举行庆祝；广播电台和电视台都有纪念卫塞节的特别节目播送给全国的人民欣赏。至于民间的庆祝方式，更为热烈。

卫塞节这一天，佛教徒的家里都张灯结彩，到处飘扬着佛旗，大街小巷喜气洋洋。佛寺里鸣钟击鼓，诵经上供，大家都很虔诚的跪在佛前礼拜。有一些佛教徒更趁着卫 塞节的来临，准备了许多礼物及红包到老人院、孤儿院等慈善机构布施，或是买鸟来放生，发扬了佛陀的慈悲精神。全国各地有组织的佛教团体，更举行大规模的佛 教徒大游行，辉煌灿烂的花车，庄严肃穆的队伍，柔和悦耳的经声，把地不分南北，人不分种族阶级的佛教徒，紧紧地团结起来，共同庆祝这一个具有意义的大节日。

释迦牟尼佛是宇宙人生真理的觉悟者，由于佛陀在这世界诞生，而发现了真理，我们这个黑暗的世界，才燃起了真理之光！由于佛陀的成道，我们这世界，才有佛教的创立；至于佛陀的涅槃，它是我们佛教纪元的开始。

所以庆祝卫塞节，重要是要唤醒大家来认识佛教，效法佛佗的救世精神，实践佛陀的遗训，同时还要大家同心协力，把佛法的巨轮推动起来，让全世界的人类，都能获得佛法的利益。

佛旗

每逢佛教的大日子，都升起佛教的旗帜；特别是每年的卫塞节，佛旗更是到处飘扬。佛旗共有六种颜色：蓝、黄、红、白、橙和上述五种色光的混合色。这些颜色是根据佛陀成道时，圣体放出的色光。它在空中飘扬多么美丽，多么壮观，这表示佛教的庄严和伟大。

为什么佛旗有六种颜色呢？颜色代表光明，而光明象征智慧，慈悲的佛陀，有各种智慧的光明，他爱护各类的众生，要给各类众生平安和快乐。

我们敬仰佛陀，我们爱护佛教，我们要向佛旗敬礼。

佛 经云：“不忍圣教衰”，今日的佛教已不复昔日的隆盛；毁佛、谤佛者比比皆是，作为一个佛教徒要有“闻一谤佛音声，如三百矛刺心”的感受，要荷担起如来家 业，以弘扬佛法，利益众生为己责，更重要的是要全心全意护持三宝，使正法得以久住世间，使一切众生能永远蒙受佛法的净化。

佛曾经说过“末法时期的佛教正如狮子身上虫，还食狮子肉，不见其壮大，只见其日益消减。”因此，身为一个正信的三宝弟子，更应该发大心，力挽狂澜，发大悲愿复兴佛教。

佛教的标志

法轮

这是全世界公认的佛教标志。

法轮，它代表着伟大的佛教。我们看到这个神圣的标志，就会联想到佛陀的教旨。

佛陀说法，叫<转法轮>；佛陀成道后第一次在鹿野苑说法，称为<初转法轮>。

法轮，表示佛陀所说的法，像轮子一样的转，所以佛法的推进，蹍坏了一切不正当的邪说。同时，轮的作用就是转动，这又表示我们的生活，要不断地向前求进步，不好停着。我们推动佛陀的法轮，就是向美好的、快乐的、光明的方向前进了。

轮有八支一样长的轴，这象征着佛陀说的八正道，是纯洁端正行为的规则。

轮是智慧，是意志，轴是真理；佛佗的法轮，是用高深的智慧、坚强的意志和圆满的真理联结而成的。

卍字

佛陀胸前的德相，有个卍字，表示一切功德都圆满。把它挂起来象征着吉祥。

莲花

它芬芳美丽，清净纯洁，从泥土里出来，却一点也没有染到肮脏，这表示佛教是清净庄严的。
