活在电影里

难过的时候
我只想呆在电影院里
因为
看着银幕
脑袋放空
然后
慢慢的
....
.....
....
看电影

在学电影前
看的是效果,震撼,人景物
学电影后
感觉的是对白,角度,演员的眼神

或许
感情多了  无处抒发
都让演员替我表达
也或许
灵感满了 不知去向
让导演代我挥霍

动画片 科幻片 大片
爱情片 动作片 喜剧
英国 美国 日本 台湾
法国 中国 香港 新马
以上皆可

曾经妄想继续深修电影
这不被传统亚洲家长认同的一科
所以
现在唯一能参与的是
买票进电影院看

很多时候
醉翁之意 不在酒
买的是张忘忧票
时限就看电影多久
电影院
能让我的寂寞 烦恼 不快乐 
在电影结束后
上字幕时 消失

Do Good Feels Great


15 of us are very lucky and blessed to join the Ecoteer August trip to Pulau Perhentian. A gem in the east coast. We need to get in a plane, van and boat to get there. Sky-Land-Sea package!! But we are all filled with excitement and joy because we can't wait to meet the corals, turtles, marine lives and the lovely people there. School clubs preparation went well for our team as we are creating a stage and it's decoration on a beach.With the amazing view of turquoise blue sea and relaxing sound of the waves. We're super effective. I would said I really love my team, it's really great to work with colleagues from other department. We have the last min member-Kay, editorial- Kak Lina, IT-Devi and BPS-Ching. Daniel from Ecoteer taught us how to properly gear up with the snorkeling tools during the water confident section. I bet all of us felt bad during the Marine life presentation time. The fact of turtles decreasing and died of human caused definitely boost our DO GOOD intention to another level. We will do our best to ensure our kids and the future generation to also have the chance to see the beauty of the reefs.

First night was crazy, with the raining storms outside and laughter madness inside. Get to play card games with Luke, Alvin, Devi, Zalina, LiChoo and also the Ecoteer intern-Chen while waiting for the time to release a nest of baby turtles. We didn't manage to watch turtle lay eggs however seeing the baby turtles made their way crawling to the sea is a unforgettable experience. I believe everybody (most of us) are praying for the turtles to survive and live longer. Every baby turtles step are blessed with lots of prayers. So all the best to you all, baby turtles!!!

Bubbles Chalet's bed was pretty comrfy as me and my roommates almost over slept. We took the boats and hop to the Pulau Perhentian Kecil (where the local village is) the next day. It used to have a very spooky name called Kampung Pasir Hantu but since there're no ghost so we better stick back to the small Perhentian. School day was really fun. We get to show the kids about the story of "Kiki & Ciko" (Zalina did a great job on the script and also Kay the best story teller ever!!). After our puppet play, it's the kids turn to do what we did. From creating the tank to presenting the play. All our effort to bring a big oven box from Bkt Jelutong-Menara Star-Subang Skypark-Pulau Perhentian WORTH every sweat and energy when we saw how the kids turn our play to theirs. They have fun and we have more than that. We went for beach cleaning after lunch. Our team went to Long Beach with the kids. We have to pick up non-organic waste from the beach. From cigarette heads to plastic bottles. Everybody should be responsible to keep the beach clean.

Before dinner, the kids get to perform the puppet play at the public stage. All the mak ciks and pak ciks and other kids drop by to watch and support. We are really PROUD of them and also ourselves!!! Dinner at the local Malay Mak Cik's house was one of the highlight in the trip. We're eating like a Malay without spoon and fork. The nasi minyak, curry chicken, seafood, vege, eggs, corn juice, watermelon, banana cake and the keropok is delicious. Finger licking good!!!!

Third day was quite relaxing as we start of with snorkeling in Coral bay, Turtle bay and shark bay. This is my first time to see a real turtle feeding herself with sea grass. After 20 over years of drawing, I am looking at a real turtle. Tears nearly bump out from my eyes in the goggles. I wish my kid have the chance to see this beautiful picture too. So no stepping on corals, no touching turtles, no littering and no harming turtles. Every one of us did the jetty jump with no safety equipment on. Ah. It's a one in a life time jump!!

It's been quite some time I didn't join a camp. The team building games were fun. Indirectly we learn some values too.The losing team will be preparing the BBQ dinner for all of us. BBQ menu-chicken, beef, squid (my favourite!!), sausages, fried rice, watermelon and orange juice! We spend 2 hours after dinner on the beach under the starry night. Debriefing and sharing our experience throughout the trip. Everyone of us will leave the island in a different point of view. A meaningful quote from Daniel, It's not the end but the beginning of another journey. We'll do our best to spread the awareness and live as a Ecoteer. (We all just officially graduated after the 1 storey jetty jump, aren't we? *finger crossed*)

Last day, the sky was gloomy. We left with a stomach full of nasi lemak from PILA (Perhentian Island Lady Association) and pumpkin kuih. Don't forget the Coconut Milkshake in front of the public toilet next to SKPP (Sekolah Kebangsaan Pulau Perhentian). We'll keep these wonderful memories in our heart and we'll be back every season, just like the turtles!!

Once a Ecoteer, forever a Ecoteer.

*There's no better picture than to picture it yourself in the paradise.

灵魂在哪


最近,生活方式仿佛后退了好多.... 每日睡眠时间不少于10个小时.. 工作上, 除了偶尔需要处理.. 基本上, 还是顺利的.. 烦恼, 渐渐陌生.. 毕竟, 没有什么问题是解决不了的...只是, 要与否.. 直到昨日...

眼睛从没隐藏过,真正的自己.. 这些年的所有, 透彻的被揭发.. 贵人看了双眼, 开始分析了..

贵人: 小姐, 你身体还算健康, 多喝水..
我: 嗯, 最近在努力培养习惯了...
贵人: 肝火很旺盛,是否常发脾气?
我: *摇头..( 心想, 这是额娘吧...)*
贵人: 那这是天生的体质.. 要少吃煎炸油腻冰冷..
我: 现在尽量控制了..
贵人: 有吃早餐的习惯吗?
我: 这几个月开始吃 了..
贵人: 很好,继续.. 要好好照顾肠胃..

由左往右...

贵人: 小姐,这几年在烦恼什么?
我: *疑惑* 没在烦恼什么..
贵人: 我劝小姐不要用脑过量, 你最费神的地方是头部..
我: 怎么说呢?
贵人: 平日,睡得可安稳?
我: 还可以.. 可算睡眠充足..
贵人: 常有夜梦吗?
我: 偶尔,不算太频密..
贵人: 那或许,你想太多了.. 早日放下,你的身体才会和你合作.. 毕竟,这不是一日半载的事了..

短短的几分钟,透过贵人的分析..灵魂之窗也彻底的反映了自己多年的问题... 这身体本就不好,成长发育的时候,我也没什么照顾,一年前更是颓废自我折磨.. 庆幸我还能明白"身体发肤,受之父母,不敢毁伤,孝之始也" .. 都到谷底里, 还有更坏的情况吗...
早餐, 多喝水, 多吃蔬菜水果,早睡早起,少煎炸冰冷, 少熬夜.. 这些都是可以避免的只要自律培良好健康习惯..

脑子里的复杂结构, 思想感情, 我完全控制不了... 贵人不好意思说这是一个老人的脑.. 但我心里清楚, 大多数时间灵魂不在这躯壳里.. 这身体只是机械般的维持着生命的延续..

灵魂在哪, 或许它漂流去了.. 也许, 它流浪去了.. 或许,它也和我一样寻找着遗失的安全感...
