Simple Business Question

2007-10-28T13:14:00.000+08:00

Suddenly, my wife post me this question and I need to answer in 3 minutes since I always said that my intelligent is higher than her.

The question sound:
One day, a business man tried to sell a product which the cost is RM180. However, the business man sold it at RM210 to gain RM30 profit. But, the customer gave RM500 for the product. Since the business man lack of small change, he tried to exchange it with his neighbor in order to make the change: RM290 for the customer.

Later, the neighbor found out that the RM500 is a fake one and try to get back the money from the business man. Question: how much money has the business man lost in this deal?

If you have the answer, you can post me comments and I will reply the answer in 2 weeks time :)

Enjoy!

先把差点忘掉的回忆记录一下！- 烟花拍摄（Fireworks)

2007-10-10T23:17:00.000+08:00

我只可以觉得，最进的生活，实在是过得太充实。阿哈! 这大概是给个太忙得人安慰的理由。。。是吗？想想，没有啊。。。每天还是脚踏实地的生活，有工作，有娱乐，有运动，有旅游，有。。。只是，突然想起，上回高高兴兴去 Putrajaya 看烟花，拍摄烟花照片的时候，已经是两个月前的事情了！这期间，已经发生了很多事情，也已经差点忘了原本打算blog的烟花照片！

可是，我们这些做电脑的，很鼓励Object Oriented 的 Concept :D
朋友们，你们可以 refer to : <<国庆前夕>> 看看吧！那些照片就 Inherit from 那里吧。

Day 1 in Osaka City - 大阪的一天- 门真市。。。(Kadomashi)

大阪市一天的旅程表:
难波市--〉DenDen Town --> Osaka Castle --> 四天王寺--〉天满桥市--〉梅田市--〉门真市

After reaching Umeda, it was alraedy 6:15pm. The night begin to fall... I have appointment with my wife to meet at Kadomashi station at 7pm. I am still not sure how far from Umeda to Kadomashi since this is just the first time I has been here. Hence, without further delay, I plan to visit the Umeda Sky Building tomorrow night. So, quickly, I walked back to Umeda station and take the subway to Kyobashi station by changing to Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line from Midosuji Line. This time I am pretty sure on how to get around the subway since I have been learning it since morning :).

Once reach Kyobashi, I proceed to K-Han line (京阪线）to go to Kadomashi station. Haha... you know what I always tell my wife for this trip? This is actually a “千里寻妻”kind of trip. I depart from Malaysia to Japan to find her while she was there for a company business trip :).

I wasn't feel hungry that time. Perhaps it's quite rush and tense for me to feel that till after I had taken bath. Both of us decided to go to Moriguchi to have our dinner. Haha... having my first dinner at Japan. Really a nice one.

Day 1 in Osaka City - 大阪的一天- 梅田市。。。(Umeda)

大阪市一天的旅程表:
难波市--〉DenDen Town --> Osaka Castle --> 四天王寺--〉天满桥市--〉梅田市--〉门真市

I decide to pay a visit to Osaka Technology & Science Center before go to Umeda. The center is located beside the Osaka Garden. Below is some pictures taken there. But, when I reach the center, it has close. I saw a group of kids comming out from the center follow by their teachers. By observing their explanation and content inside the center, knowing that that is more suitable for students.

Their garden is quite huge. Lots of people joging there. Perhaps it was end of summer, the scenary still not that beautiful. By taking Midosuji Line, get out from Umeda station, I start to find the Umeda Sky Building. Since the building is the tallest in the city, it was quite easy being identified. However, it take me roughly 45 minutes to find out how to go there. This is because between the subway station and the Umeda Sky Building, there is a major construction carrying on. We need to pass through a underground street to actually reach the location.

Day 1 in Osaka City - 大阪的一天- 天满桥市。。。(Temmabashi)

大阪市一天的旅程表：
难波市--〉DenDen Town --> Osaka Castle --> 四天王寺--〉天满桥市--〉梅田市--〉门真市

After visit Shntennoji for around an hour, I returned to Shintennoji subway station via another route so that can visit around Shintennoji town area. Nonthing special, just have quite a number of shops selling some products which we will never see in our country. For eg:

From Shintennoji subway station, follow the same subway line which is Tanimachi Line, I can reach Temmabashi station. The purpose go here is actually plan to visit Japan Mint (造币局）。
But, after come out from the Temmabashi station, there is 4 directions that I can go. The information that I have just mention: 15 minutes walk from the station. Arh... 25% is the chance I have. I also try to ask for some direction from people, but they fail to elaborate effectively.

However, I try my luck by choosing 1 of the 4 direction, I choose the east! :)
The photos is the environment around the place that have taken. Look at their motor, it's quite advance rite? There is a place for the bicycle to park and by putting money, the machine can actually help to lock the bicycle tyer.

Unfortunately, I fail to find the place. I try to look around for any sign to indicate me the direction. However, perhaps I am totally at the wrong direction. That time was around 3:30pm in the evening, but it was quite hot when walking along the road. The 2nd picture above was the picture I took when I pass through the Temmabashi bridge. 3rd picture is a very special restaurant when I pass through because the food smell is really nice. I had decided to try it, but, sadly, it close until 5pm in the evening. I can't afford to wait until that late because still got other place in the schedule I would like to go :). So, just a picture in memory I captured.

Day 1 in Osaka City - 大阪的一天- 四天王寺。。。(Shintennoji)

2007-10-06T23:41:00.000+08:00

大阪市一天的旅程表：
难波市--〉DenDen Town --> Osaka Castle --> 四天王寺--〉天满桥市--〉梅田市--〉门真市

大概用了1小时半逗留在大阪城，就要前往四天王寺了。也还不知道怎样去，只知道应该在Shintennoji-mae-Yuhigaoka 站下车。大概是因为有Shintennoji这个字吧。所以，就从大阪城，走回Morinomiya站，趁塔Subway到Tanimachi6-Chome站，再转换Tanimachi Line。哈哈！，以为一到四天王寺站，就有很明显的指示牌，告诉旅客怎样去Shintennoji, 哪知，什么指示也没有。走出车站，就即刻面对50%对错的选择题，往左走还是往右走！结果，选择了左边,走了大概5分钟，觉得好像不太对劲，还是问问路人吧。这次忽然想起，‘sumimase’一词，心想，一开口说日本字，也比较会受到日本人的理会吧。果然，效果不错，路人都会停下来，给我问接下来的问题。问了两个日本人，一个老男人，一个中年女人，终于在相反方向，走了5分钟左右，就到了寺的中门。

还以为，四天王寺是一个寺庙。原来，日本的寺，跟我所想象中的有很大的差别。第一个感觉就是，原来是日本人寄放亡灵的地方！虽然那时是中午两点左右，身在这样的环境，还是有点不太自在！里边的气氛，非常幽静，一点都不觉得是个在大城市的建筑！

一路从中门走到大门，都听到四周飘来的经歌，又是感受到别有一番的经历。在这里，我第一次见到了日本建造的塔。有些建筑还被列为世界遗产呢。

Day 1 in Osaka City - 大阪的一天- 大阪城。。。(Osaka Castle)

大阪市一天的旅程表：
难波市--〉DenDen Town --> Osaka Castle --> 四天王寺--〉天满桥市--〉梅田市--〉门真市

After make sure the way to Osaka Castle, then wihtout any delay, I proceed to take the subway to Morinomiya Station. :) According to the Japanese lady, first, I have to proceed to Homachi Station by taking Midosuji Line and then change to Chuo Line to Morinomiya Station. Osaka Castle is just a walking distance from that station. Aha.. but, althought is a small station, but there is still 3 types of subway line connected to both of the station. People was a lots and I always seeking the sign board with all unfamiliar Japanese words and english words for the way that I should go. Luckily, most of the Japanese words is Kanji, it's similar to the chinese words that I am familiar. So, just match the station name and subway line with the map and I was able to reach Osaka Castle. Below is the pictures taken around Osaka Castle 大阪城 area walking from the subway station to the main enterance.

Day 1 in Osaka City - 大阪的一天。。。(3rd Episod)

2007-10-05T21:46:00.000+08:00

好不容易，买了前往难波站的车票，从买票处，走下楼梯，到了月台，抬头望望指示牌，寻找一个答案--是左边，还是右边上车呢？:P 还好，有个女公关，听得懂我问的‘Namba Station’，向我指了指左边.

上了车，哈哈，开始兴奋了，以为一切都搞定了。就只是等到难波车站下车就是。可是，坐了一会儿，心想：也不确定自己是不是上对了电车，因为，在同一的车站，尤其是在机场终站，有很多来自不同地方的电车，也会定在此停留。电车也还有分几种：K特急，特急, 急行, 准急，区间急行和普通。所以，就在电车上，寻找电车停留的图表。一时间，脸青了一半，因为，图票上表上，竟然没有‘难波’站 :S ！！？？我确定的是，我上了“特急”的电车。所以，有很多站都没有停的，没办法对照图表的路线是否是对的。脸青了大概5分钟，再仔细看看图表，对照自己所拥有的资料，尝试了解自己所处在的位置。还好，这次发现了一个比日本字小了大概5倍的浅蓝色英文字：‘Namba'！这时，确定了前往的目的地，就开始放心的感受身在日本土地上的心情，开始观察那些跟我同一趟车，赶着去工作的日本人。。(1st pic)

到达 Namba Station (2nd & 3rd pics above)
以下这一张就是日本地下铁的路线图表：难波站也只是其中个小小的地下车站。

出了电车，很快的，车内的日本人，都往不同的方向，出了车站。剩下的就只有我，还摸不清楚，应该往哪个方向去！因为，东南西北，都有指示牌说明是不同的出口。原本打算第一站就去Osaka Castle,不过，站在车站里，15分钟都摸不清楚何去何从。。。实在没办法，又找不到会英语的日本人帮忙，就选了一个出口，到车站外边去了。(1st, 2nd)

知道"Den-Den Town"就在这里附近，问了个日本警察前往的方向，终于找到了！那是条电子和器节，要好向我们（Malaysia)的Lowyat Plaza,那样。可是，到的时候还很早，很多店还没开。(3rd, 4th). 走了一会儿，往另外一条地下道，到回难波车站。发现，地下道都有很多餐馆，有些还蛮别致的。（5th, 6th).

回到车站，决定去买‘One Day Pass' 的地下铁车票。这种车票，890 yen, 可以让你在一天以内，免费无数次趁塔任何个地铁县的地铁, 是值得的。看到指示牌说，那种票可向自动售票机购买。那机器，有大概15粒以上的按钮。我放了1000 yen, 谁知，全部的按钮都亮了。再次脸青，连Cancel的button都找不到。可笑的是，站在那机器前大概3分钟，都决定不到该按那个扭。还好的是，那边有很多部机器，所以没有阻碍到别人。再过一分钟，我还是站在那边抓头，最后，救星终于出现了。一位女公务员，走了过来，表示有什么可以帮忙吗。你猜我第一句就问他什么？。。。 ”Do you speak english?" , "Yes" 她回答。"Good!", 太好了。就在那时，弄清楚了地铁的路向，他还给了我一张有颜色的地图表，也弄清楚了去Osaka Castle 的地铁站和那个地铁线可以到达。基本上，大阪的大多数地方，地铁都可以到了。

所以，在大概到达大阪的2小时以内，学会了用它的地铁线，还要谢谢那个的女公务员。 :)

Day 1 in Osaka City - 大阪的一天。。。(2nd Episod)

2007-10-03T07:16:00.000+08:00

First challenge...
坐飞机到达日本Kansai Airport实在是没有什么困难的。那么，挑战就是当你一个人到达了一个你完全不熟悉的环境，时时刻刻你都得告诉自己下一步因该怎样做，因该往哪里去了。那时，突然发现，自己跟自己的对话，比平时多了许多。

After get down from the plane, I start to look for the way that I should proceed. Besides following other people, looking for instruction sign board is the common task I did all the time in Kansai Airport. 1st pic is the airport train whcih fetch us from the departure hall. 2nd picture is the bus station at airport. 3rd is the place that I want and need to go, because I don't want to take bus to 'Namba' station. So, I need to take a train and that is the railway station that link to Kansai airport.

So now, here got 2 types of railway station. If you go wrong, then the consequence is you will waste time and money. However, all the places mention on the sign board are the places you never seen before :S, with Japanese words. Luckily is, some of them is similar to our chinese language and still can recognize easily.

To 'Namba' station, I need to take 'NanKai' railway. :) This is known when doing research at home. However, still, there is another one is K-Han railway. So, you still will have to make sure 'Namba' station is the station that NanKai railway got pass through. Some time information from Internet still got some mistake. In the sign board display there didn't display 'Namba' station in english, but in chinese and japanese words, called ‘难波’and some more in a very tiny form.
Really kanasai...

After deciding Nankai station is the one I need to take, buying ticket is the next tasks. Sound easy rite? :) Ok... go to the counter, asking for 1 'Namba' station ticket from the counter. "Good morning Mr, may I have a ticket to 'Namba' station?' .... The Japanese guy look at you in an embarrass face, sound like, you don't know I am Japanese meh? How I understand your words :-S

Me, speechless.... "Namba, Namba station..." + all the body sign language. Ha!... every easy now, he got it because of 'Namba' words :) So, paid 890 yen. Eh... the digit still the same as our country ;) Oh ya, if you want to concert, just take (Yen /100) * 3. So, 890 yen is roughly RM27.

I will tell you more in next episod on what is the difficult after I reached 'Namba' station.

Day 1 in Osaka City - 大阪的一天。。。(1st Episod)

2007-10-02T07:10:00.000+08:00

Wake up early in the morning in order to locate time to post some of my selected photos online to share. :) Start from the airoplane ... At night, 11:30pm, I am waiting alone in the boarding room. Japan custom is quite tight and serious as I had been checked for more than 2 times asking me why going to Japan and doing what there :P. May be I am going there alone and without carrying any luggage. Just a small travel bag I was bringing.

The plane was empty. So, there is lot of empty seats. I was choosing a row of seats that located at the center. I 'opened up' all the handler and slept on the chair. Honestly, I persoanlly feel this is better than first class sleeping chair where you can have your whole body lay down.

2nd picture (counting from left to right) is when the airoplane was reaching Kansai airport. Found the morning sun light very beautiful. Perhaps, it's all about the feeling that time was very enjoy ;). That time I had completed my breakfast after a nice sleep whole night. For the 3rd till the 6th, was the Kansai airport scenaries.

Stay tune for next ...

独自前往日本-大阪的夜晚

2007-09-11T21:57:00.000+08:00

照在七月所订购前往日本大阪的优惠机票，终于派上用场了。回想 7 年前，911 事件，就是发生在京天。那时，我还在就读大学二年级。当时的我，就在房间里埋头做功课。没想到，7年后的今天，我准备为我的人生写下另外个旅程。一个人的旅程，感觉轻松，有些忐忑，又有些流浪的感觉。哈哈。。。，实在有些爽！不安，是因为前往一个与自己语言不同的国家，担心无法跟当地的服务人员有效的沟通，那么，就无法到要去的旅游景点了。

Recall my life since 7 years ago, I think this is the first time I am going to oversea myslef. Perhaps, I only now I start to relise the important of language :) To be able to communicate is actually improve a lot of effciency during travel or to reach your destination during travel.

11Sep, 10:50pm now... Going to boarding gate. Hope will have a nice sleep in plane later and going to start my adventures journey tomorrow in Osaka!!! :D Promise you guys to post lot of nice picture when I back to Malaysia.

号召四方大德，一起携手创造慈济世界！！

音乐手语剧里, 有几段我觉得特别有意思的歌词跟大家分享：

“人应自我即可修心，把握当下何必外求；
人应自我反观自性，清静修心何必外求；
人应自我自我觉行，惜缘修心何必外求；
人应自我籍事练心，随处养心何必外求。”
这就是演出以上歌词的部分！

台湾游 - 第三集 [慈济志业体-新店医院] ~ Taiwan Travel - 3rd Episod [Xin Dian Hospital]

2007-08-04T21:45:00.000+08:00

嗨！我又来跟大家分享台湾之旅的事情了！我们大队拜访了我们的师傅以后，就去慈济在台湾的各大志业体去参观。以下的照片分享，就是慈济在台湾的其中一间医院 - 新店医院。

一进到了医院，我就看到了好大幅的“佛陀问病图”。我们大伙儿把队伍排整齐了，就像佛陀问询。医院里的环境，实在是非常温馨。护士们都带着非常情切的微笑，都跟我们这班来之马来西亚的慈济慈青打招呼。医院的地上，打少得一尘不染。跟你说，如果进来时，不知道这是一间医院的话，还以为自己进错了旅店。再说，我们到时，都擦不多是午餐时间了。那我们就到医院里的食堂里用餐。讲到食堂事物，有自助餐式的斋菜和其他面档。那自助餐斋菜的种类，真是应有尽有！实在是大开眼界。一些斋菜的煮法，在马来西亚是吃不到的。我们拿了些特别的食物，还有汤，就拿到收银机那边去称。你的食物的价钱，是根据他的重量来计算的。

看看下边的照片，那就是医院里的佛堂，非常庄严。那幅壁画，有着佛陀在抚慰着我们的地球。而，慈济的理念，就是佛教生活化，也就是说，你我，人人皆能成佛，人人如能照顾好自己的心，诚正信实，然后再造福人群，爱护地球，那么，人人就是抚慰着地球的活菩萨，

流浪浪中岛-全集 Lang Tengah Travel Trip (Full Episod)

2007-07-20T23:43:00.000+08:00

准备出发！
到了丁加奴的一个小港口，在等待着该岛的游艇来在我们。周围的环境不是很干净，不过，风景还是蛮写意的。可能是早晨吧，而我又是怀着游玩的心情，感觉都是好的吧。看看大伙儿们，都跟我一样，耐性的等待着那即将把我们载离这繁华都市游艇。我们大概等了45分钟，游艇终于来了。不过，我们还得等工作人员把船填满油，然后才浩浩荡荡的出发。

前往，到达目的地
We almost spend 1 hour on the journey from the port at the river bank toward the island. The boat proceed with an average speed at 100 km/h and we finally reach 'Lang Tengah' island around 12 something.

出海去疯狂
Quickly, both me and my wife go and check in our room and had our lunch. It served as buffey style but actually, not much dishes will leave if you go a little bit late to the dinggin area. So, we also did eat much. We finish our simple lunch and proceed to get the diving apparatus ready. Then we follow the captain to the place that allow us to dive.

出海归来
See me drving the boat!! :) Look smart and cool rite ;)

隔天早上-Rock Climbing ...

台湾游 - 第二集 [慈济发祥地-精舍] ~ Taiwan Travel - 2nd Episod [Jing She]

2007-07-12T23:23:00.000+08:00

夜阑人静，我们大伙儿暂时把那兴奋的心情收拾收拾，然后，就在花莲静思堂入睡了。也不知睡了多久，听到有人在讲话的声音，心想，真么都好像没睡到就得起床了。我们赶紧换好衣服，就到大庭列好队，准备找上人去了。我们这团来自马来西亚慈济人，准备浩浩荡荡的往精舍出发了。这次，为了响应上人的叮咛，那就是，我们要减少“碳足迹”。所以啊，大家都同意我们从花莲静思堂，步行到精舍! 旅程大概是10公里左右吧。

After one night sleep at 'Jing Si Tang (JST)', our team had prepared to proceed to 'Jing She' to finf our master. JST is a place like for Tzu Chi community to organize their activities. 'Jing She' is the place where our master stay. It's a very nice place as I always heard from my 'parents' and other Tzu Chi members. Now, I know I have the chance to reach that place and take a close look to my master (Since I know her for more than 8 years and only see her through television).

In order to reduce the 'Carbon Footprint', our team decided to walk to 'Jing She' which has around 10 km distance from JST. It took us almost 2 hours to complete the journey. It's quite tired but feel satisfaction, according to some of my team mates.

那，我们那队伍浩荡长的慈青们，也从太阳还没出来就开始走了。我也在那时，见到我在台湾的第一道阳光，也是我在台湾见到的第一次日出！哈哈哈，实在太满足了！现在回忆起来，还真是蛮高兴的。好吧好吧。。。讲了那么多，该看看照片了。。。

我们开始从 4:30am 出发，终于在 6:45am 到精舍了。那时，上人也刚好要开始当天的志工早会！那会议是让上人跟台湾各地的职工代表们见面，和让他们汇报所发生重要的事件。当天刚好是慈济发放的第42年纪念日，3 月24日！上人也非常欢喜的见到我们，也称赞马来西亚的慈济人，非常用心的跟随让人的教诲，努力减少碳足迹，不乘坐巴士，稳稳健健的步行到精舍。

我呢，本身平时都是非常爱幻想的。古怪思想的我，居然自我天马行空，想象自己虽然没有机会生在2500年前佛陀的时代，没有机会好像唐三藏那样，有缘到西方见到佛陀取经。但，这次，想想上人就是好像当时的佛陀那样啊！当时的佛陀，也应该是整天的在说法，然后有很多四方大德去拜见他。今天的上人也就是那样嘛，来自各地方的人，天天都有不同的人来拜访上人，上人也每天开示和说法，我仿佛就好像身在2500年前的雷音寺那样，很靠近佛陀！

Look at the second picture, our team has finally reached 'Jing She' after around 2 hours walk. The second last picture is the 'Jing She'. Is it very clean? :) The last picture is the small woden house. That's the place that my master stayed during her young time. She stayed in this woden house alone and decided to study buddhist. All other masters including my master practice is, they don't use the money contributed from others. They will working themselves for earning their daily expenses and meal. That's why, the 4th picture show the masters actually growth their own vegetables at their vegetable farm as the food for their meals everyday.

台湾游 - 第一集 [花莲,我来了!] ~ Taiwan Travel - 1st Episod [Arrive At Hua Lian]

2007-06-09T12:49:00.000+08:00

光阴似箭，忙碌的2007年，终于在不知不觉中来到了五月份！因工作忙的关系，也没好好的准备这次的旅程，就在9日下午，匆匆的塔车到了KLIA, 直到飞机起飞前的一小时，我才知道我将要乘坐的飞机是华航。。。不过，因为这次的旅程，是慈济团体举办的，所以，大多数的旅程，师姑师伯们（在慈济世界里，比我们大许多的长辈们，我们都称她们为师姑，或师伯），都已安排好了，实在太感恩他们的用心。

On 9th May 2007, me and my wife start our journey to Taiwan. It's really an excited journey as we did not prepare much before the departure date. All the planning and even the air tickets also prepared by our 'lovely parents'. In Tzu Chi world, we called those whom their age much elder than us as 'parents' as a sign of respect. No doubt, they are really take care of us. So, for this journey, I only get to know which company's plane I am going to take just 1 hour before the plane take off.

That day, we take off from KLIA at around 2:30pm and after approximately 4 hours flight, we finally reached Taipei airport. I really feel warm and happy when I saw there was a group of people already line up and welcome us at Taipei airport. Quickly we line up and group in a team and the buses has arrived. Without any further delay, we quickly went up to the bus and proceed to Taipei Raiway Station. We had our packed dinner in the bus along the journey to the raiway station. When we reached Taipei raiway station, it was already 9:30pm. (See the pictures).

This time, our destination is Hua Lian. According to our 'parents', we will have roughly 3 hours journey in the train and we were requested to take a nap and rest. When we reached Hua Lian, it's already passed 12am midnight and tonight, we will going to sleep at Huan Lian Jing Si Tang (花莲静思堂）. Tomorrow we need to wake up around 3:30am to walk into a place called 'Jing She' （精舍）to meet our master - Master Chen Yan (证严上人）. In other words, we only have less than 3 hours to sleep that night. So, immediately, we make our move to wash our face and brush teeth, exchange to sleep cloth (we have a set of sleeping cloth in Tzu Chi, we called them 'Luo Han Yi' ) and sleep straight away.

虽然已是深夜,当第一刻到达花莲的静思堂时,自己也按耐不住那兴奋的心情.在那刻,心想自己已到达了一个已经很靠近上人的地方,明天一早就可以看到上人了. 进到了静思堂里面,那环境是那么的熟悉,一切都是静思文化的摆设,一点都没有好像到了外国静思堂的感觉,非常安心.

以下是一些花莲静思堂的照片,先来让他家一睹为快!
Listed below is some of the photo taken from Hua Lian Jing Si Tang, let's take a look. :)

乙老师见状问：“写的是什么啊？”

甲老师：“写一个王子和公主的故事。”

“不错啊”乙说。 “他竟然在开头写王子问公主‘can you speak chinese?' 公主回答‘yes', 接下来的全部都是中文！”

Song of the month --->>> 歌曲：萍聚, 歌手：卓依婷
别管以后将如何结束
至少我们曾经相聚过
更不需要言语的承诺
只要我们曾经拥有过
对你我来讲已经足够
人的一生有许多回忆
只愿你的追忆有个我

别管以后将如何结束
至少我们曾经相聚过
更不需要言语的承诺
只要我们曾经拥有过
对你我来讲已经足够
人的一生有许多回忆
只愿你的追忆有个我

别管以后将如何结束
至少我们曾经相聚过
更不需要言语的承诺
只要我们曾经拥有过
对你我来讲已经足够
人的一生有许多回忆
只愿你的追忆有个我

窗外有蓝天-2006度慈济青年志工生活营

2007-03-18T19:14:00.000+08:00

终于，2007 年的今天，我在百忙中，很舍得的，花了这一个下午，来好好的忆这一段意义非凡的生活营。单看题目，就知道那是2006年的事情。虽然，我已参加过不少次的生活营筹委（从2003年开始，每年都参与至少一次），这次比较特别。因为，这次参与生活营的意义，可以说是让我重新好好用心的，重温上人的慈济理念。这次的生活营，我呢，就当了感恩组的队辅（好像组长那样的角色）。目的呢，就是陪伴着感恩组的学员们一起上课，一起分享所有的感动，一起成长。这些照片是感恩队的队员，也就是我的兄弟们！

　　

生活营是从星期五（16/6/2006）旁晚，到星期天（18/6/2006）旁晚。营队的流程，非常从实。在短短不到的三天的时间，我们共有大概39的节目。晚上，10pm点就得上床睡觉，隔天6am点就起床了。课程组的筹委们，都很用心的把慈济的四大志业，八大脚印，融入了我们所学的课程当中，让我们深深的体会到慈济的慈善志业，还有医疗，教育，人文的努力。还有那国际赈灾，骨髓捐赠，环保和社区职工，都是慈济团体40年来用心付出的贡献。课程还包括了如何礼佛，手语和一些环保意识。最令我难忘的，我想应该是"父母恩重难报经"和麻风病院的访视之旅。"父母恩重难报经"的环节，是个让我们懂得父母的伟大恩情，让我们应该更加懂得尊重父母和感恩他们无私的付出。麻风病院的访视就深切的我们更加珍惜我们现在所拥有的健康身躯，好好地运用它来对这地球村做些贡献。

须知道，在短短的三天，要办个又温心，有充实的生活营，如果没有全体工作人员，志工们的帮忙，无间的合作，欢喜和无私的付出，那生活萤是很难搞得成功的。所以啊，在此真诚的向全体工作人员说声感恩。因为有你们那么团结，乐意和无私的付出，这萤队才能那么有声有色！值得一提的事，在这三天两夜的营队里，我们都享有着非常丰富的早午晚餐，甚至宵夜！到现在，我还对香积组的师姑们那拿手的斋菜很想念。

心血来潮是找来的感动旧歌。。。

Song Of The Month: Mar 07
嗨！突然在某一天，突然心血来潮，就找找些旧歌来听听。可能最近的流行歌曲都听得厌了，听些七八十年代的歌曲，反而有了这意外的惊喜！

Before 你听着这首我介绍你的歌，倒想问问你，你已经多久没打电话回家了？身在外地的我们，没有常常在家里，有没有想想已年老的爸爸妈妈们？或许，那陪伴，照顾过我们陪伴童年的婆婆，外婆？他们还健在吗？

以下我找来了歌词：
多么熟悉的声音陪我多少年风和雨
从来不需要想起永远也不会忘记
没天那有地没有地那有家
没有家那有你没有你那有我

假如你不曾养育我给我温暖的生活
假如你不曾保护我我的命运将会是什么
是你抚养我长大陪我说第一句话
是你给我一个家让我与你共同拥有它

虽然你不能开口说一句话却更能明白人世间的黑白与真假
虽然你不会表达你的真情却付出了热忱的生命
远处传来你多么熟悉的声音让我想起你多么慈祥的心灵
什么时候你再回到我身边让我再和你一起唱

想听听那首歌吗？你可以在这下摘：Download
现在就开启你的speaker, 来听听这首歌吧！

Company Dinner Time 2006

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

来看看着地方吧！我们的 Company Dinner 就在这里！下午时，我们就到了，晚了半天，就有大茶饭吃！嘻嘻。这样想法的我，就是和那些不知所谓的打工一族的想法没有两样。

没错！那就是我们国家著名的：SUNWAY LAGOON! 那天下午，我们同时都变成了大小孩。

看看我们玩的东西嘛！哈哈。

尽兴玩乐之后，就是吃大餐时间了。看看那晚公司所准备的食物吧。哇哇哇！（青蛙叫，嘻嘻）

超爽的瀑布玩水天！

2007-02-28T17:13:00.000+08:00

哈哈！快乐不知时日过。。。不知不觉又到年尾了！Company Trip 的时候有来临。。。

这也是非常开心的旅程。虽然只是短短的一天，那清澈无比从山上来的水，把一整年已污浊的心灵，洗涤得一干二净！那地方叫："Hutan Lipur Kanching"。看看那边的环境吧。

在那儿，你可以爬山，游泳，玩水，和，可以好好的休息！。看看我在那边玩的照片吧。嘻嘻嘻。哈哈，玩够了，下次找老婆一起去！:P

久别的部落格！- 工作的生活。。。

2007-02-28T16:46:00.000+08:00

事态有太多事情想跟他家分享了！所以啊，不论有多忙，我现在坚持要多写些 blog! ;)

不时会有特别的照片跟他家分享喔！因为，在网上，我还找不到一个系统，比部落格更加有效和亲切的分享生活的照片。

还是别多说了，现在就把去年在我公司发生的一些点点滴滴跟他家分享吧！
首先，这是公司的足球赛事。不知真么搞的，我代表了曼联队！哈哈！爽

你知道吗，只从我中学毕业，就没有跟正大班朋友一起踢球了！这实在是开心极了！

还有！看看我这般可爱的兄弟们，实在可爱到极点了！！哈哈哈哈哈。。。。

相信每对情侣对于它们之间的爱，都有他们独特的感觉和领悟。

对吧？毕竟，他们都用心地，一同经历过许许多多的事情。。。
有的记忆仞然清晰，有的也已经忘了。

重复听了好多遍的那首：爱似流星，
那编的美妙的歌词，对于已在一起10年感情了的情侣，你说，当他们品尝着这首歌时,他们俩又有什么样的体会呢？。。。

在那夜阑人静的深夜，每句歌词都会深刻的牵引了听歌人的感觉，先是彭湃起伏的情绪，到后来又是感慨和平静的。。。

歌手：杨紫琼专辑：爱似流星

新流星蝴蝶剑电影主题曲

如果失去是苦, 你还怕不怕付出.
如果坠落是苦, 你还要不要幸福.
如果迷乱是苦, 该开始还是结束.
如果追求是苦, 这是坚强还是执迷不悟.
如果分离是苦, 你要把苦向谁诉.
如果承诺是苦, 真情要不要流露.
如果痴心是苦, 难道爱本是错误.
如果相爱是苦, 这世上的真情它在何处.

好多事情总是后来才看清楚,
然而我已经找不到来时的路,
好多事情当时一点也不觉得苦,
就算是苦我想我也不会在乎.

《神雕侠侣》片尾曲：江湖笑的歌词作曲：小虫
演唱：张继中、胡军、周华建、黄小明
江湖笑
江湖笑恩怨了
人过招笑藏刀
红尘笑笑寂寥
心太高到不了
明月照路迢迢
人会老心不老
爱不到放不掉
忘不了你的好
可似花非花舞非舞
滔滔江水留不住
一声豪情壮志铁傲骨
原来英雄是孤独
江湖笑爱逍遥
情和笑就来到（爱或恨都不要）
仰天笑全忘掉
潇洒如风轻飘飘
