你杀死了贝多芬
晚上临睡前,女儿给我出了个题目：
如果你知道一个女人怀孕了，并且她已经生了8个小孩,其中有4个耳朵聋,3个眼睛瞎，还有一个智能不健全，而这个女人自己又有病在身,请问，你会建议她生下这个孩子吗？
女儿的问题太过简单了，我当然会选择让女人放弃生下这个孩子。想想都太可怕了，若是再多一个残疾孩子，真不敢想象这个女人怎么能承受得住！
“那么，你杀死了贝多芬！那个女人是贝多芬的母亲。”女儿摊开双手，遗憾地摇着头。我吃了一惊，为自己如此轻易地杀死了贝多芬叫屈！我不服气地说:“若是不知道结果，你会怎么选择？”
女儿说：“我已经选择过了,而且班上大多数同学跟我选择的一样:建议她生下来！在此之前我们并不知道答案！”“为什么？”我忽然感觉这个选择题很有趣，忍不住要和女儿探讨一下。
没有想到的是，女儿的理由非常简单：给予这个可怜的母亲多一点儿希望—她已经有了那么多的残疾孩子，万一这是个非常健康的孩子呢？我怔住，继而热泪盈眶。还有什么比如此充满人性、充满希望的答案更正确的呢？

谢谢
有人说：
自己现在所拥有的一切，
都是靠自己双手争取回来的。
自己创造了一片新天地天，
再多的钱是自己找回来的，
再高的地位权利也是靠自己得到的。
其实不尽然。
努力靠自己固然很重要，
但是，
再多的钱，也是别人给你的；
再高的地位和权力，也是来自大家给予的肯定和支持。
人刚来到世上时，其实一无所有，
这一切的一切都是有别人给予你的，
没有人可以靠自己把钱弄出来，把名誉地位弄出来。
对于现在的一切，心存感恩；
对所有施予自己的人，心存感恩。
在这里要‘谢谢’所有的所有，
大家，今天开始要学会如何去说谢谢哦！

Too long......
Would you agree with my title? Its been too long for something to happen. Have i found it? I believe i have.
For too long i have been sticking to my self reliant stupid and radical principles... Telling myself every so and so that principles are everything. To this day, i believe it to be true, but i would like to add an exception. All my life, i've been trying to rationalize everything i do. To some certain extent, the very foundation of my love for someone else was built on my self rationalization. The fact is... nothing about it is rational :) Haha... but this is not the purpose of this text. By making my point... i realise my mistakes and have let go of my stubborness and embrace a new future with high hopes and expectations. You know... let me disclose something to you all... before i left for Hong Kong, someone said something to me. This is someone i respect a lot, my teacher and my friend. She said, 'You'll find what you need to find in Hong Kong, go out there and find what you want, what you've always been missing. Just remember to come back and tell me about it,' and she smiled. For some time... i did not understand what she meant, and i sort of disregarded it, stored it somewhere up my head and forgot about it. All until recently....
Life here has been great... To be perfectly honest, i have not really felt homesick. Maybe its just because i've been here for only 1 month and a half. Maybe its just because i wanted to escape my life back in Malaysia. Maybe i needed to see something new. One of the reasons why i decided to stay back during my holidays is because... for some part in me, i don't really wanna go back. I said officially that the reason i stayed back is because i wanted to take up extra courses so i can graduate faster, but the fact is... some part in me, i don't wanna come back during my university life. Ever since day one i've stood on Hong Kong ground, i've told myself that this is where i wanna be, this is where i want my family to be. That was what i thought to be the right thing to do anyways.
So far... my uni life has been fulfilling and hectic :) Joined rotaract, got selected into the badminton U-team, gathered a team to take part in a business proposal writing competition, toastmasters public speaking competition, planning on a service trip to Sichuan for 1 week during winter and so on.... At the moment... i've been doing well in my studies as well :) Having 3 mid terms in 1 week 2 weeks from now, and i'm currently finishing an essay for one of my sociology classes. Haven't been sleeping a lot lately, less than 20 hours per week. I keep telling myself to sleep before 2am everyday... but i eventually go past the limit and sleep less and less everyday. I know its bad, and i'll try my best to rectify this problem i'm having, i don't wanna have health problems at this age, thats for sure :P
Now then... perhaps the thing that all of you have been hoping to hear from me. As you may or may not have noticed... whether on facebook or MSN, i have changed my display picture yeah? :) Before you come to conclusions, i want to state clearly that we're very close friends. But... to be truly honest? We're friends who hold hands, hug and talk about the future. The reason why we're called 'friends'? Well... she is honoring her promise to her parents that she won't have a BF before 21. I respect her promise, and we're both friends... for now. Go take a look at my MSN name now, scroll all the way to the back and you might notice a countdown. Be a smart person and guess what is the countdown for :) Anyways... we've had a lot of fun together. I know for a fact we love each other a lot, you might think that i'm saying this too early, but i don't give a heck. 1 month is too fast? Well, i won't deny that, and i probably won't try to explain it either. We love each other. Period. You know.. being with her? everything seems to pass by so quickly... i wish that our time together would be much much more, but there just isn't enough!!
I am blessed by knowing her. We had our ups and downs and at one point we almost called it. But the both of us just couldn't bear to do it, and we made compromises to keep our relationship. I've waited so long anyway... whats another 2 years and a few months right? I would never forgive myself if i gave this all up.... One other thing... we have a lot of things in common :) Sounds kind of funny and stupid... haha, but we're both the type of person who likes to think about the future. I'll leave it up to your imagination on what exactly did we talk about, but it sure was sweet and reassuring :) Let me say this everyone, i made a decision the other night. I made her my responsibility. The fact that she let me do so was an extra blessing for me :) The joy of being able to do things for her, to care for her, and to have her care in return? No words can possibly express what i feel :) Blessed beyond words.... haha....
I know you people would have plentyful to say about this... haha... especially about the decision i made. Whichever it is, i just want all of you to know, I am happy :) Look forward to my homecoming, i can't wait to introduce her to the rest of you. My wishes to all of you :) (Back to my essay for now, submission in 3 days and i've only written 1 paragraph, OUCH!!)

宣传一下~
历史都是谁写的?
是胜利者的一方吗？还是败北的一方？是富有的那群？还是贫困的一众？
我们这一代的子民，读着上一代人写的“故事”。“故事”当然是由作者的角度来叙述的，当然多少会加入一些自己的意见和感受，所以多多少少会与事实有所偏离。
根据报道，马来西亚的历史大多都是由马来贵族所记载的。他们所记载的都是他们所看到的，没有看到的，就自然是以自己的观点来判断及“制造”出来的。
英国统治时期，为了商业利益，为了政治因素，为了merdeka，有什么事做不出来。历史课本年年都在修改着，最原本的内容是如何，没人知道。
EMERGENCY festival主要是揭穿马来亚在英国统治时的紧急法令时期所掩盖的事实与历史的一项活动。
历史课本里所记载的被过滤的实在是太多太多了。我们虽被英国及日本统治过，在现在的马来西亚社会里，也许还有不少人依然记得日本时期的残暴与所发生的不愉快事件，不过却有多少人是依然记得着英国人的所作所为的。
原因很简单，他们（英国人）将自己包装的太完美了，临走前留下了好印象。修改历史课本，遮盖内幕消息自然是他们临走前所做的一些手脚~
这活动是叙述一些英国统治期间紧急法令时期所发生的写实历史，影像，图片等的事实。

EXHIBITION
12 YEARS
Thu 16 to Sun 26 Oct 2008, 11am to 5pm
Curated by Wong Tay Sy, Norman Teh and Grey Yeoh
“The victor writes the history while the loser fades away….” Is that always true? Challenging this notion along with new ways of presenting history without being preachy, one-sided and linear, this multi-angled exhibition focuses on contextualising visual materials from the Malayan Emergency within our contemporary framework. It offers an alternative and interactive approach to presenting history, and offers often unheard rakyat-centric experiences of the Emergency.
THEATRE PERFORMANCES
OPERASI OKTOBER
Thu 16 to Sun 19 Oct 2008, 8.30pm
Directed by Fahmi Fadzil
Performed by Janet Moo Tein Ni, Lim Chung Wei, Mislina Mustaffa & Mohammad Hariry.
Fresh from being in the winning ensemble of ‘Best Group Performance’ at the 6th Boh Cameronian Arts Awards, Fahmi Fadzil directs a performance that looks at the beginning of the Emergency where: "Over a series of encounters, four people meet in anticipation of a revolution. But they don't know that it has already begun".
