助人为快乐之本?

Could you still remember when you're in your primary school, where you were writing essays about helping blind people cross the road or giving your seat on the bus to an old lady?


It was today's evening, at Maluri bus station, in front of Jusco. I saw a blind old lady comming down from a bus, tapping her (what do you call that stick?), with her weak voice calling out softly, "Hello?"

I can't believe that, the crowd around her actually ran away from her, instead of helping her... And I can't believe that, I walked to her and asked her what can I help...

"Can you alert me when T327 arrives?"

"Okay, no problem."

"And let me know when you are going to leave."

"Okay~"

A few moments later, (OMG) a U47 arrived! (U47 is the RapidKL route that passes in front of my front door and it is considered as my dream bus to get on whenever I wanted to go home, as Metro or SJ's 62 stops at Jalan Cheras and I'll need to 'climb' up the hill to reach home. But it is really RARE to spot one when I need it, I've never ride on any U47 for months! And, U47 is everywhere when I don't need them... For once I tried to wait for a U47 to appear, 7 (is it 7 or 9 ar?) 62's came and went off... I no tahan anymore and rode on the next 62, while cursing RapidKL...)

"Err, sorry, my bus arrived. I'll find someone else to help you."

"Thank you."

I asked the young man in front of me to help out the poor blind old lady, after staring at me for a few seconds, he agreed.

Back on the bus, i started to feel lucky to get on U47 today, feeling a little bit sad for not being able to wait for a T327 for that pity blind lady, feeling a little bit (actually, quite) disappointed because of Malaysian's (perhaps Cheras people's) coldness towards the disabled, and also feeling a little bit happy for approaching the blind old lady to volunteer...

China Trip: Xi'an (Part 2 of 2)

(Continued...)
The round hole up there symbolises the sky, and i pose like that, actually means that i'm holding up the sky...









I should've taken better pictures of this waterfall... But it was far-far below 0˚C, my fingers were numb even under the gloves... And... I don't have a tripod with me, BIG mistake...








It was snowing heavily when the bus was on the highway back to Xi'an... The bus had to slow down until... We missed the train to Beijing that evening... So we spent another day in Xi'an...


The Xi'an City Wall, built around the Xi'an city centre... We cycled on it... It was about 14km in total...

~心事重重~


It took half an hour to solve a two week long problem;
It takes one second to ruin it all over again...

China Trip: Xi'an (Part 1 of 2)

I went to china with my family last December... We visited a lot of places, including 西安(Xi'an), 北京(Beijing), 上海(Shanghai), 广州(Guangzhou), 澳门(Macau), 深圳(Shenzhen), 珠海(Zhuhai) and 香港(Hong Kong). It was winter and the northern part was just a little bit (too) cold... The highway heading Xi'an city from Xi'an Xianyang International Airport covered in mist.

Sun setting at 4:30pm.

The Bell Tower of Xi'an (西安大钟楼)




Musical fountain. This is just part of it. It's actually 200-300 metres long.

MIFC 2007

Photos I took last year during the Malaysian International Fireworks Competition held in Putrajaya. An event that, for the first time in history, caused traffic jam in Putrajaya. (Click for larger view)Damn it, suddenly the fireworks went so high, my wide angle lens cant actually cover the whole thing... But I found some other people that framed this shot beautifully=>Raining Fireworks II
