 Malaysia! Woo-hoo~8月20日 Job's Tears?Job's Tears (Coix lacryma-jobi), Coixseed, adlay, or adlai, is a tall grain-bearing tropical plant of the family Poaceae (grass family) native to East Asia and Malaya but elsewhere cultivated in gardens as an annual. It has been naturalized in the southern United States and the New World tropics. Job's Tears is also commonly, but erroneously sold as Chinese pearl barley in Asian supermarkets, despite the fact that C. lacryma-jobi are not of the same genus as barley (Hordeum vulgare). The mature grains are enveloped by very hard, pearly white, oval structures which are used as beads for making rosaries, necklaces, and other objects. Some varieties are harvested as cereal crops and are used medicinally in parts of Asia. Job's Tears are called many different things by cultures that utilize them:
In Korea, a thick drink called yulmu cha (율무차, literally "Job's tears tea") is made from powdered Job's tears. A similar drink, called yì mí shǔi, (薏米水) also appears in Chinese cuisine, and is made by boiling whole polished Job's Tears in water and sweetening it with sugar. In both Korea and China, a distilled liquor is also made from the grain.

We have bigger houses but smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time;
We have more degrees, but less sense;
more knowledge, but less judgement;
more experts, but more problems,
more medicines, but less healthiness;
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.
We built more computers to hold more information
to produce more copies than ever,
but have less communication;
We have become long on quantity but short on quality.
These are times of fast foods but slow digestion;
Tall man but short character;
Steep profits but shallow relationships.
It's a time when there is much in the window,
but nothing in the room. 2月8日 前世埋你的人这是一则佛教故事。
从前有个书生，和未婚妻约好在某年某月某日结婚。到那一天，未婚妻却嫁给了别人。书生受此打击，一病不起。这时，路过一游方僧人，从怀里摸出一面镜子叫书生看。
书生看到茫茫大海，一名遇害的女子一丝不挂地躺在海滩上。路过一人，看一眼，摇摇头，走了。再路过一人，将衣服脱下，给女尸盖上，走了。再路过一人，过去挖个坑，小心翼翼地把尸体掩埋了。
僧人解释道，那具海滩上的女尸，就是你未婚妻的前世。你是第二个路过的人，曾给过她一件衣服。她今生和你相恋，只为还你一个情。但是她最终要报答一生一世的人，是最后那个把她掩埋的人，那个人就是她现在的丈夫。 10月24日 甚麼?甚麼是自信? 知道自己要的是什麼, 不要的是什麼. 相信自己, 走自己的路.
甚麼是勇敢? 雖然明知感到害怕, 但仍然不斷穿越, 在恐懼中勇往直前.
甚麼是熱誠? 無私的貢獻.
甚麼是負責任? 對承諾負責, 對自己負責, 對人生負責, 對生命負責.

  7月26日 NatureJust look at nature; things that are around. They do not prepare beforehand and they seem to know nothing about survival, yet they survive in the fittest form. The thought of 'whot happen next' does not occur to them unlike we human beings. They just know whot to do. Nature knows of balance. Humans only create imbalance. 7月16日 "Does God exist?"Does God Exist?
The university professor challenged his students with this question. Did God create everything that exists? A student bravely replied, "Yes, he did!"
"God created everything?" The professor asked.
"Yes sir," the student replied.
The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are then God is evil." The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.
Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor?"
"Of course," replied the professor.
The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"
"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's question.
The young man replied, "In fact, sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero is the total absence of heat; all matter become inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat."
The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"
The professor responded, "Of course it does."
The student replied, "Once again you are wrong, sir. Darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct?" Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."
Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?"
Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil."
To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like faith, or love that exist just as does light and heat. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."
The professor sat down.
P/s: I'm not a Christian, but this is interesting... haha... |
