国庆在英国

２００７年８月３１日，当举国上下都在庆祝独立５０周年庆的时候，我却在当年统治马来西亚的国家渡过，这种感觉还真奇怪。

仔细想想，究竟这么多年来的国庆我是怎么过。犹记得中学的时候，每年的国庆都得随着Brass Band去游行，心里还真不甘愿（因为别人可以休息我却不可以）。大学的时候，最疯狂的莫过于在大一的时候，到Dataran Merdeka去count down.然后再到Bukit Gasing过夜（不要想歪，纯粹是因为有一位朋友＂无家可归＂，所以我们才一起＂ngai"义气），然后隔天早上再到Dataran Merdeka看游行，而我们可全都是电单车一族，去那里都只是靠那两个轮子的电单车。

工作以后，国庆日对我而言，只是一个不用工作的日子，并没有什么特别的意义。到了这边，却发生了一件与国庆日有关的＂趣事＂，愿与大家分享。

话说在美国国庆日的前夕，几个美国人在叽哩呱啦地讨论着她们的大日子，其中一位就问我们有没有类似的节日，然后大家就轮流地介绍自己的国家曾经被谁统治过。在我们当中，有一位英国人，所以轮到我的时候，我就对他说，＂We were independent from the British 50 years ago"，当场大家就捧腹大笑。

然后这位英国绅士就笑着对我说，＂Yes, your country is independent from us 50 years ago, but you are stuck here now".

讨厌电脑

我还是很讨厌电脑，我真怀疑电脑是不是跟我有什么仇恨。自从拥有第一架电脑开始，我的电脑从来不会乖乖听我的话，叫它做东，它就做西。

还以为新的laptop一定会比较正常一点，谁知，在install了不超过５个software之后，它竟慢得像乌龟一样。尤其是我在处理相片的时候，简直是可以一边看书一边等它load。在加上对Windows Vista的不熟悉，让我觉得我这个Computer Science graduate像个电脑白痴。

气死我了！

笑话一则

在Lee Abbey生活，英语要尽量讲的标准,不然很容易就会引起误会或闹出笑话。

话说有一天，一位刚认识的朋友问我马来西亚有什么好玩，由于我知道他是来自没有海边的内陆国家，我就很自豪的想要把马来西亚的海滩介绍给他。于是就说，＂We have many beautiful beach".

忽然，另一位在旁边的朋友，无意间听了我们的谈话，用非常讶异的表情问我，＂What??? Your country has many beautiful BITCH???"

真想找个洞钻进去。

I'm sorry!

最近收到很多complain说我没有update blog.在此想向各位有阅读我的blog的朋友们说声抱歉，不是不想update,而是有太多事情在发生，心情上的起落其实还蛮大的，所以也就没什么心情来写blog.

那究竟这两个月发生了什么事？我的房间淹水、我换了房间也换了roommate、好几个谈得来的朋友都相续离开、我买了laptop、我去了奥地利、我成为Frida的sponsor、Frida又被调去kitchen team.....等等，太多事情到我也不记得了。

感谢各位捧场，我会继续努力！

Lahn, Alice, 神祝福你们！

在 Lee Abbey 生活, 其中一件最难受的事情，就是离别经常发生。

刚刚送走了Lahn,明天又要和Alice告别，这种心情，真是没有办法用言语来形容。Lahn那锲而不舍的精神，很让我佩服，她总是不遗余力得把福音传出去，她带领Ayano信主，就是最好的见证。Alice那最真实的笑容，常常让我很窝心，尤其是当我做错任何事情，或工作做得比别人慢的时候，她总会安慰和鼓励我。

在她们两个人的生命里，我看到，生命的价值，并不在乎你为自己争取了多少，而是，你能为别人付出了多少，就像主一样，牺牲了祂的独子，为的，就是让我们有一天能在天国和祂重新团聚。

离别是伤感的，但在基督里，我们拥有希望，因为在天国里，我们不再有离别。

Lahn, Alice, you will always in my heart, thanks for every moment we shared, even if we can't see each other again, we will definitely meet again in right up there, together with our Father. Alice, thanks for encouraging me like this :)

Please save North Korea !!!!!

Last week, two VIPs came to Lee Abbey, they are Shin and Ang from North Korea. At first, I thought there was nothing wrong with this, well, people are liberal to move or travel around, as Lee Abbey has people from all around the world, so there's nothing wrong if we have people from North Korea. But later, I found out from my roommate and Lan that North Korea is not open to the world. People in North Korea are not allow to travel to other countries, and North Korea also does not welcome foreigner to their country. This country remains its status as the world's most secretive country (even people from South Korea are not allow to go to North Korea, I never knew this until my roommate told me).

Shin and Ang are actually the refugees, they escaped from their country, today, they are here to reveal the situation in North Korea. I was shocked when I came to know that North Korea still maintain the concentration camp which is similar to Nazi’s concentration camp during World War II. People are there for no reason, people are there to be mistreated, overwork, tortured, raped, killed, public executed and etc. The way of punishment is beyond our imagination.

Shin was borned in the concentration camp in year 1982, he did not know why he was there, he never knew that there is a outside world accross the electrified barbed wire fence, until one day a 'newcomer' told him about the outside world, (this 'newcomer' died when he tried to escape), he thought that the concentration camp that he was living is the world.

His mother and brother were public executed, his father and he is one of the 'audience' to witness the execution. His mother was hanged and his brother was shot. His finger was cut because of a small mistake he made in the garment factory (there are factories in the camp!!!!), he was tortured by scorching. His cousin was raped until death. Children in the camp are forced to do hard labour work and many children died of accident while working.

Ang is the guard in the concentration camp, according to him, all the officer in the camp were brainwashed when they first started to work in the camp, they were taught that those prisoner in the camp are not human but animal, they can do whatever they want to them. I was really shock by knowing this, and there are still a number of concentration camp in North Korea, and about 200,000 prisoners are still in the camp, waiting to die!!

This two men are accompanied by 5 more people from South Korea, these people are working in a position to save North Koreans. There were tears in my eyes while listening to the truth (there was a session held here to reveal the truth in concentration camp'), I really felt sad.

Perhaps you may ask, why Shin and Ang can be friends and sitting side by side today, aren't they suppose to be enemies? (as Shin is the victim and Ang is the guard) well, this is the great work done by our Lord Jesus Christ, both of them are Christian now and through God, there are forgiveness and miracles.

Here's the article of interview in the newspaper:

and here's the website of people who are helping North Koreans:

I would strongly urge you not to buy any products from North Korea, as these are made by blood of North Koreans!! Please save North Korea!!
