Making a Difference
Found this speech very interesting. It is not those serious and dry type... Enjoy reading it... as it will enlighten you when you feel lost....(",) 琴
=============================================================
Speech by George Yeo, Minister for Foreign Affairs, at the Raffles Institution on 16 August 2007 at 9.30 am
Making A Difference
1. Life is a journey. In the first part of the journey, you have parents and teachers helping you along. Later, you will be on your own. One day, it will be for you to help others. Along the way, you will discover yourselves, especially your strengths and weaknesses.
2. The journey is also a test of your character. At various points, you will be challenged, and how you respond to these challenges is often a moral choice between right and wrong. Confronted with a difficult situation, our response can either be 'fight or flight'. Fighting means standing up for what is right, and being on the bright side. Flight means running away or giving in, compromising principles, what in Star Wars is described as drifting to the 'dark side'.
3. All of you have grown older with Harry Potter. With each episode, as Harry grows up, the story becomes darker. The emotions become more complicated. There is a certain sadness. Once passed seventeen, Harry will lose the protection of his parents and will be on his own. He must then make very hard choices. Of course, he will have friends and relatives to help him. Not all will help him. Some may even betray him, those who have given in to temptation and moved to the dark side.
4. As a teenager, there are times when you can't wait to grow up. But there are other times when you rather stay a kid forever, what some people call the 'Peter Pan complex. An important difference between being a kid and being an adult is in the amplitude - the height and depth - of our emotional cycles. Kids can cry one moment and laugh the next. Adults carry their emotions much longer, sometimes for life. So, while it is true that the later episodes of Harry Porter are darker and sadder, they are also brighter and happier. Understanding your own emotional up's and down's is part of growing up.
5. The key point is making moral choices. Whether we are talking about Harry Porter or Darth Vader or Rama in the Ramayana or Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey or the Tang Dynasty monk in the Journey to the West, the hero is the one who, at the most critical moments, makes the right moral choice. Choosing the bright side. Doing good.
6. Most of us will become neither heroes nor villains. But, on a smaller scale, we can either be good or bad. Everyday, at home, in school and elsewhere, among families and friends, even with strangers, we can either make the world around us a little better or a little worse. Are we helpful or are we a pain to others? Do we cheer up those around us or do we depress them? These are the daily choices we make, and the accumulation of these choices define us. They make us what we are. If, in little things, we do what is right, it is more likely that we will also do what is right when we confront big things.
7. Few people relish big challenges. Most people avoid high-risk situations if they can, which is rational. But sometimes we have no choice. Harry did not wish for Voldemort. When times are easy, there are no heroes. It is only when times are out of joint, during wars and revolutions, when natural disasters strike, that heroes emerge. We do not know what life holds for us in our journey to the future. But, sooner or later, we will have to face challenges we rather not. Then we have no alternative but to respond. There may not be enough time then to weigh the pro's and con's carefully. It may have to be my instinct that we decide on what to do. During your teenage years, you will gradually understand your own nature. That nature is partly in the genes you inherited from your parents. But it is also in your free will which you exercise every day. Darth Vader was born a jedi but one who fell from grace although he did come around at the end to save his son.
8 As Rafflesians, you are like jedis, but please don't let this get into your head. Because you have certain gifts, you are being specially nurtured so that one day you can do good for your people. You are not to live your life only for yourself. When confronted with tough choices in the future, we hope you will choose the bright side and help make the world a better place, not a worse place. Prepare yourselves for that future. Listen to your teachers, learn from them, not out of blind obedience but in a spirit of humility and inquiry. Everyday, do a little good. It can be a simple smile, a helping hand, a small gesture. Let this become a part of your own DNA. Wherever you are, make a difference and make your school motto, auspicium melioris aevi, a beacon lighting up the path ahead. From those to whom much is given, much is expected.
9. In kindergarten and primary school, the fairy tales end with the main characters living 'happily ever after'. In real life, there is no such thing. For as long as we live, life is series of challenges and responses. It is the journey itself which is the drama for each and every one. May you live your lives well and may the Force be with you.

終于交了！
今天戰戰驚驚的走上"台"把信呈上去。
心情有點沉重, 有點不好意思. （也不知為什麼會！）
只可以說對不起，我真的想take a break! 想想看接下來的路要怎麼走。
辭工後接下來要去“流浪“了！
在還沒找到方向時要過著當坐家的日子。
這陣子真的要省一省了！

What if....
Yesterday night was the third time I saw an accident happen at the normal route that I usually drive back home. If I had not waited for my colleague to clear her work and leave the office together, I would had left earlier.
Sometime I would wonder what if I am the one??
I had a wierd feeling.... there maybe an guardian angle protecting me. As there is bound to have have something that stopped me for leaving early...
Or maybe I am just too paranoid.
Well... only god has the answer... (",)

ANA熊貓飛機﹗ 哈哈﹐太可愛了﹗
------------------------------------------------------------
在網上看到B Jirushi YOSHIDA 在香港開設Exhibition at Kapok的店! (可惜只到下個月2號)
超喜歡室內的整個設計和感覺﹐是我理想中的設計﹗ 如果我有機會擁有一間這樣的店賣些有的沒的(雜物之類的東西)那真的太幸福了﹗

My First Workshop in Canberra
Today was a really eventful weekend since I have been here. I had sign up a workshop for scrapbooking. It starts from 8.30am - 5pm. They have prepared door gifts and 3 project. The most special thing that I like was the 'Name Tag' that they made for all the member. It is so personal and nice.
This is my very personal Name Tag
This is the Momo Book
This is a Calender (My Favourite)
Circle Card
(This is the first time using my boarder Stamps that I had bought at Craft Fair)

我的戰利品
Today went to the Canberra Annual Craft Fair at the Exhibition Park....
Guess what??? I actually spent more than what I earn.... but anyway... it is definitely cheaper.... I mean lots cheaper as some items I got it less than 50% that I have to pay at the normal craft shop (",)
Some of the items can see cannot buy.... as I had already place an order and am really upset as I have to pay lot more expensive.
There is a stall that saw me buying so many stamps, very heavy until the plastic bag torn... got me an recycled bag which other colleagues got jealous as I had spent lesser than them. Not sure how much poorer are they now? But I definitely have to eat grass for this month.

負擔
一開始，選擇出國是爲了好玩
現在留下，是爲了生活負擔
有時在想，何時負擔才能放下
有時在想，乾脆不理他們也罷
只要過這我想望的生活就好
但人生往往不會如此簡單
肩膀好酸好酸，但沒人能幫我分擔。
好可怕，好心酸
但人生就是那麽的不簡單。

Farewell again!
Number 2 for the month of August!
No farewell lunch, no farewell dinner just a farewell gift from the company - voucher. One of the most easy present to be given away again, of cos practical if u have a "chance" to use it. (hmm, what that expression on Ms Jean's face!)
Beside the "offical" farewell gift, our sleeping princess, Ms Jean got the most practical gift from 4 of us (me & the other 3 colleagues)! A graduation cert & $1000 taiwan $$$! Hey, make sure u frame up huh!
^ A brief was sent out to do a creative for the cert.
Credits - Suit: Ah Lim / Creative: Ah Yun / Copy: Ah Lim & Ms Shirl / Passerby: Ms Finco. Thanks for all the help in completing this "project"!

賣魚的人﹗
巴剎里有幾攤魚販喜歡隨着他們的喜好開攤做生意。一旦魚販們不開攤﹐巴剎里的生意就殘不仁睹﹐連累了其他沒在賣魚為生的攤販們, 只因巴剎附近的村民都喜歡吃魚。因為如此﹐其他攤販們無可奈何的得配合魚販們而生活﹗

希望睡公主不要生氣唷！

So I decided to display this.... CARE BEARS (My fav Childhood cartoon)....deliberately display 'Lucky' in the centre to see if it can chase the jinx with me today.....
This was what I bought on Saturday. My colleague went aside as she felt too embarrass to stand beside me while I am playing with this and there are people looking at me. Who cares... as long as I am happy....

找東西﹗
我們每天都在找東西。
找回憶﹐ 找目標﹐找方向﹐找愛情﹐找事物等等。。。
有人知道要找的是什麼
有人胡理胡涂亂找一通
有的人蒙着眼睛也在找
也有人常常找錯了東西
很多時候當我們努力尋找它時往往都途勞無功﹐
但更多時候如果我們不找它時往往都擺在面前。
日子一過去﹐ 找到了。 找不到﹗ 不想找﹗﹗ 怎麼找都找不到﹗
啊﹗人生就是這樣吧。
------------------------------------------------------
以上這篇短短的文章是由修行尚淺的芸小妹所以寫的。
這麼不知量力的舉動只是希望將個人在生活上的一些感受及種種﹐用文字表達出來﹗
如有文字/文法上的錯誤﹐在此請多多包涵。
