Growth, Evidence of Life

Just two years ago, I was too determined to think of me living in other places but in Australia. I just thought I had to live here. I don't know what brought me to this stubborn goal, but maybe it was because of relaxing, fun life I could have here. I though if I could live here, I would give up what I want to do or what I dream of. I could study something that is likely to give a good chance to live in the "lucky country".

During my second visit to Aus, however, I came to realize that this place would not be the only one I would like to live. I shouldn't stick to only one option without exploring others. I haven't been to many places to make a best-like decision.

I haven't done lots of experiences that I can make up who I really am and what I really want to do. Everything that I took for granted or I was certain of has been changed into something I have never thought of. It grew more confusing sometimes scary. But one good thing is, I guess, that I feel more flexible and opened to many different ideas, places, people, and values. I trapped my self and had felt strained in a very little, hot, suffocating wall. My eyes and dreams were only chasing it without even glancing at other world. I was not free. Only this place, only this job, only this friend, only this...this....

I feel free. I see more opportunities. I feel more mature. I feel I'm actually growing.

Around the globe are heaps of things I can do. I have forgotten how much I enjoy unexpected things challenging me and, matter of fact, they bring me unforgettable and more enjoyable memories. That makes me laugh, cry, think, feel, change and grow.

Somebody said, "Growth is the evidence of life."

My Dear Churchy Friends.

My birthday in June,,,,,nah...It was only for that cake.

I do miss them more than anyone I met in Malaysia. We had known each other for three months, but we are sisters in our Christ. 10s, 20s, and 30s......^^

Hi, Singapore.

Thanks to my friends, Juin Pay and Valerie, I really had a good time in Sg. May, 2008.

Black Coral

The beauty of nature just blew me away . Every moment when I splashed the crystal clear green water, I felt cleaned and refreshed. All my hard time in Malaysia was being washed off little by little.

I would forget the great comfort of nature and fresh freedom in nature.

Being stuck on a ridiculously freezing bus for 8 hours, I finally arrived at KT. I really hated buses, streets, freezing air conditioner here. It wasn't the end of my journey to Redang Island. The tour staff picked me up at the bus terminal and took to their office. Then I had breakfast at some local market with other tourists. They all spoke Chinese. I was like .....some alien. Ah.....I ate paper which was sticking under the Mandu. Honestly, I didn't know what I was eating. All other Malaysian tourists were looking at me and whispering at each other. How embarrassing.

However, I didn't give up my hope that I will have a blast eventually, and I was very right.

We took another bus to a jetty and took a boat for one hour. The far the boat went away from the jetty the beautiful the colour of the ocean changed. Can nature really survive with human in it? Or, can people live on earth without eating up natural nature.

Anyway, I didn't want to bother my vacation with these troubling thoughts. I wanted to capture all beautiful images in my eye camera and tell people again and again and again.

It was a dreamlike moment. If so beautiful is here, down under the sky, how wonderful the Heaven would be?...I just can't imagine how the Heaven looks like.

Um... for two nights and three days, I went snorkeling three times and went swimming in the sky-blue ocean. The resort boat took us to the best and safe snorkeling spots even though it was still wavy. And I came to be aquatinted with one of the tour staff. He was quite young and funny. While I was snorkeling, he swam up to me and said “Did you see black coral?" I said," maybe".

"Hey, I will show you and follow me" I followed him. "Miss, I will go down the water and point the black coral with my finger. You just look at it." I don't know what will come next and looked down. My eyes chased his finger from other colour corals, his leg, hip, chest, .. up to there. Black coral in his armpit. Pu..hah... Oh..I love boys...

I had a blast. I don't think I would come back there but I definitely will go somewhere like here.

Somewhere many people don't know. Somewhere little touched...
