*Keep believing, that's where the strength is |
I didn't quite much realise that the last post I've made was exactly a year ago.. not that exact. To be exact, that will be 1 year and 4 days. Gee.. I've been lazying for so long. Probably I've been spending more time to.. what? Now I need to think carefully of what have I done for the past one year. Eventually, the very best remark of the year would be my birthday. Apparently, I did not make it for the climb this year. Too many plans in mind that had eventually caused no focus at all. But well, everyday is different. For the past one year, no doubt, I've met many wonderful people all around me. And at some point, I'd probably disguised myself as somebody else, did I? Well, I did. For instant, I would have chose to keep my mouth shut in most occasion. But for some reason, I turned out to be one of the annoying 'talk box' in certain occasion. Eew.. therefore, I know that I need more time for myself this year. Thinking about the past one year, it was the first time ever in my life that I'd stepped out of South East Asia, and I was in the south west of France, hosted by a wonderful friend who'd throw me a surprise by joining me in the Mt Kinabalu climb last year.
*The sky was still bright at 10.00pm, minus the sun ^.^ |
For the very first time being in a foreign country, all alone, that's a new thing for me, perhaps I'm a lil' old for it, but hey, who cares. It's my very own experience that I'm enjoying ^.^ Although we have tropical climate for the entire year in Malaysia, but the summer I had was mesmerizing. With the summer festival all around the area, it was good. Having the chance to help out some people to shifting house in France, being taught dancing steps, playing musical instrument that I'd never tried before, enjoying beautiful music all around the village in the late evening, yet the sky was still relatively bright at 10pm, having the experience of being 'stung' by some kind of plants named 'oak-ti' (that's how it's being pronounced) and later being told that I'm a real French for having the experience of being 'stung' by that very plant (eew... it's painful =.=") and the list goes one forever. True, there may be culture differences, but still, all of us are human. I am a firm believer of the saying, "There's only one race in this world, and that is HUMAN-race". It is probably some negative belief system that could have contributed to so many nasty things that happen all around us.

Sometimes I think to myself, I am so small, as small as a micro-dust in this world (not to mention, the universe), yet, I am a significant being - to something, someone, in somewhere. Everyone has their own value, and that includes all living being in this world. Therefore, all of us deserve respect. It was so much that I'd experienced for the past 12 months that I'd somehow slowed down in my plan. Hence, have not done much up to now. But well, it wouldn't be long till I start being active again. This, I promise myself ^.^

Ouch! You got stung by a plant? (I think those were nettles) I'm glad I never had that experience :P
And I definitely agree with you that we are one human race...if we could only tolerate all the other members of our race a little more, the whole world would be a much better place.
hehehe.. you are a significant being to me at least :) -muiqoon
Wee Pin, it was indeed 'nettles'! Thanks for the information. I've finally get their name! ^.^
