Show this forwarded email from my fren, very meaningful words and teachings.....
Thought of posting the wordings here for ppl to ponder upon :)
明白它们,你会发现你的人生在改变^^
人之所以痛苦，在于追求错误的东西。 如果你不给自己烦恼，别人也永远不可能给你烦恼。
因为你自己的内心，你放不下。 好好的管教你自己，不要管别人。不要认命，命运是自己创造的）
这个世界本来就是痛苦的，没有例外的。 你什么时候放下，什么时候就没有烦恼。
每一种创伤，都是一种成熟。 当你烦恼的时候，你就要告诉你自己，这一切都是假的，你烦恼什么？ 根本不必回头去看咒骂你的人是谁，如果有一条疯狗咬你一口，难道你也要趴下去反咬他一口吗？
忌妒别人，不会给自己增加任何的好处。忌妒别人，也不可能减少别人的成就。 永远不要浪费你的一分一秒，去想任何你不喜欢的人。
得不到的东西，我们会一直以为他是美好的，那是因为你对他了解太少，没有时间与他相处在一起。当有一天，你深入了解后，你会发现原不是你想像中的那么美好。
这个世间只有圆滑，没有圆满的。 不要刻意去猜测他人的想法，如果你没有智慧与经验的正确判断，通常都会有错误的。你要感谢告诉你缺点的人。
时间总会过去的，让时间流走你的烦恼吧！ 不要因为小小的争执，远离了你至亲的好友，也不要因为小小的怨恨，忘记了别人的大恩。
感谢上苍我所拥有的，感谢上苍我所没有的。 当你手中抓住一件东西不放时，你只能拥有这件东西，如果你肯放手，你就有机会选择别的。
人的心若死执自己的观念，不肯放下，那么他的智慧也只能达到某种程度而已。 如果你能够平平安安的渡过一天，那就是一种福气了。
多少人在今天已经见不到明天的太阳，多少人在今天已经成了残废，多少人在今天已经失去了自由，多少人在今天已经家破人亡。 恶口永远不要出自于我们的口中，不管他有多坏，有多恶。你愈骂他，你的心就被污染了，你要想，他就是你的善知识（让你自我反省，自我检讨的镜子）。
你不要常常觉得自己很委曲，你应该要想，他对我这样已经很好了，这就是修行的功夫。 世界原本就不是属于你，因此你用不着抛弃，要抛弃的是一切的执著。万物皆为我所用，但非我所属。
学会用理解的，欣赏的眼光去看对方，而不是以自以为是的关心去管对方。 成熟的人不问过去；聪明的人不问现在；豁达的人不问未来。
发光并非太阳的专利，你也可以发光。你可以用爱得到全世界，你也可以用恨失去全世界。 爱的力量大到可以使人忘记一切，却又小到连一粒嫉妒的沙石也不能容纳。
人总是珍惜未得到的，而遗忘了所拥有的。 如你想要拥有完美无暇的友谊，可能一辈子找不到朋友。 要知足与感恩！！！

my life ......
Touched down in OZ at 7AM......on the 8th DEC 2008
1st impression, haha...nthg much lar....jz plenty of land, majority single storey house like bungalows.....no high rise buildings, except a few extraordinary, quite green....wahhaa. According to the driver who is in his 50s told me, Adelaide ppl dun like tall buildings like melbourne and Sydney.....they prefer more tranquil and green landscape there, which is truely presented in the buildings there, mostly only few storey high. By logic, u hv plenty of land, y build high??
.
Inside got table, mattress,and a cupboard....everything are white....which is pretty good, make the room looked spacious and bright :)

My room in city west apartment for the DEC 2008 and JAN 2009.....after organinzed and arranged.

First time had OZ dollars.....
Bought and sent out PLENTY of POSTCARDS.....too bad one of them gone lost, mayb the postcard looked pretty and the Malaysia postman kept it for himself =.=!!!
My new OZ hp, LG Tweety....free with a 29$ cap.....not bad a hp....the most canggih hp i ever had, my 3rd hp in fact....got 2 sign 2 yr contract to hv tis hp, it uses touch screen, got 3G, i did signed up for an extra 5$ for news and weather package. THe 29$ cap offers u 200minutes of 3 to 3 mobile cal, and 150$ for calls in that 100$ maximum for international call. The deal may seems pretty good, but 1 sms cost 30cent, local cal is not cheap as well, even worse...50cent per international SMS, ~2$ per minute international call. Still, u earned a decent cool hp in d end :)
My bed at 7-7.15Am....DAMN it....the sun light focus on my face directly and heat up my whole sleeping bag which i use as blanket. If you din cover ur head with anything, u just cant sleep with eyes directly under the sun light. This is what i call natural ALARM.
Somewhere in JAN, i finally got my sleeping pillow, so charm.....have been sleeping for a few weeks without pillow or using my clothing as pillow...wahaha coz waiting for sales. Bo pien, my rental here is sucking blood from me.
My collection of postcard and cards..... :)

days b4 XMAS .....
7 days after i reached Adelaide....there was this Spirit Festival for little people's land held in elder park. It was my 1st eye opener to Aboriginal people, culture and art :). It was also held for the first time in Adelaide. What a good opportunity, haha.
Elder park
Vy relaxing park for stroll, activities, picnic, jogging....
swans....really elegant swans....
Aboriginal art....making crafts from dried straws......really amazing!!!
Typical aboriginals but more adapted to city life. It's obvious in Australia to identify aboriginals.
Aboriginal arts and crafts....
all sorts of colourful crafts....but not cheap lo...
i like this one the most....but hahaha, jz can c not buy......I really like their art. Not bad for a frame at home.
other participating booths for kids, to play some colouring stuff
This one i not sure what are they making but some sort straws stuff oso but coloured 1.
The poster....they even sell the t-shirt....for 15dollar...but too bad there was none for my sizeall left free size.....otherwise i wud hv bought one too.
Boomerangs....haha, this may look colourful as display but not for flying....they wont fly back to u if you throw them......hhaha, i learned here to noe how to differentiate which can fly and which cant. Those that can, usually are longer and bigger and most importantly more work has to be done on the boomerang whereby both end will have to have different cuving angle so that the wind can bring them back.
Even these, look how simple there are, but is a masterpiece to me....wahaha, it's really amazing how these indigenous ppl came out with these ideas to beautify themselves, just like Malaysia ibans, dayaks.....etc.
There was a small concert as well with a mix of english singers and aboriginal cultural show, i din really watch them. wahhaha, and i missed one of the aboriginal show too.
If you noticed the aboriginal art uses alot of dots, and often a varies of vibrant colours. And often those real aboriginal arts also portraits animals like kangaroos, their god......etc.
Look at these handicrafts.....all made from dried straws......
How about this?? Something like a queen crown, impressed??
They even offered to teach those interested to learn how to make small basket, or hat from these straws......how NICE!!!, i did tried bit....wahahha, it's not easy....mayb i'm not gud ....wahaha, but it's interesting and new to me to noe that straws can be make into these stuff for sale.
Vy 'asli' piece of art rite???
the view of elder park and convention centre.
Elder park
New signboard to me, hahaha.
Pretty flowers by Adelaide festival centre
Adelaide festival centre
Somemore pretty flowers along roadside....:), just cant resist to take a shot on them.
This park is quite famous as it is the 1st national park in SA or adelaide. And quite often ppl came here for tennis, picnics and BBQ. I really like the experience of having BBQ in this kind of area. Felt different from BBQ in Malaysia. IT's a very relaxing type of BBQ and ppl each bring their bit of food and also contribute to the table of FOOD.
There are BBQ facilities for you which you can rent with the national park management. This one uses gas still. However, it does provide the conveniences.
