Too Young?!
In my twenties, I would agree with most of the parents’ perception. Though, I will still encourage teens to have at least one experience to have a relationship. Only by experience, teens can discover the complication of a relationship and they will start learning from there. Eventually, after a few years of time most, not all, of these puppy love-relationships will break up. They start to have their own personality and realize that their partner isn’t who they are looking for. They will be more aware of their next relationship.
So, we need to learn and have experience during our teens rather than 30s right? Who knows it might turn out an eternality first love? LOVE is not TOO YOUNG for anyone.

Religion
Guy: Hi, how are you?
Me: Good. Yourself?
Guy: Not too bad. Are you a Christian?
Me: Nope. I am a Buddhist.
Guy: Do you want to come to our church this weekend to ….
Me: (Politely)No… I am not interested. Thanks anyway.
I was then trying to leave as I had to rush to the train station to catch a train. Then, this guy started to piss me off.
Guy: Do you know you are going to hell if you are not a Christian?
Me: Excuse me… I beg your pardon?!!??
Guy: Ya.. do you know that Satan made others religion to misguide human?
Me: With the things I’ve done I am very sure that I am going to heaven!!! How about you???Have you confessed all your sin??? You better confess it this weekend as you just curse me to hell.
Actually I didn’t mean to say that to anyone but that fella really pissed me off. I don’t think that’s the correct way to convince people to go to church, right? I respect every single religion in the world. May be what that guy mentioned was written in a bible, or it is a real fact in Christianity, but sometimes I think people should respect each other, especially when it comes to religion. Erm… just wanted to make a point here – respect others’ religion.

Grandpa...I miss you...
My grandpa (mum’s father) ‘was’ really an incredible man; I would say every single members of the family idolize him so much. He passed away 3 years ago with 93 years of age. I really miss him so much… Back in few years ago he made a request to me and I feel so guilty and always will be because I didn’t full fill his request. That time he was staying with us in my house. One afternoon he asked me to play guzheng (the Chinese orchestra instrument) because he loved watching and listening to me playing all the time and most of time I would have play for him. But that particular day I was very tired as I just came back from school and I was busy preparing the chinese orchestra concert. That was the very last time he asked me to play and the very last time to stay at our house. Till now I still feel pretty guilty…
Like many others, he came to Malaysia, Alor Setar, from china when he was 13 without a cent in his pocket. He then started his first ever job in a restaurant and kick off his implausible journey. He saved some money and start doing his own ‘business’, which is selling ice cream by the road side couple of years later. I couldn’t imagine how much he was earning that time such that he managed to put his money together and buy a shop houses. He ran a business as a whole sellar of rice, red bean, soya bean… all those grain thing la. Slowly by slowly he gained his fame, status, money, and start building a wonderful family. He was once among the top ten richest people in Alor Setar. During the peak of his time, he used to own 30 lorries. What amaze me the most was this typical china man whom never been to any kind of school before invented a telegraph for business purposes. He also made his own furniture like chairs, tables and even modified a clock to a toy motor boat…. Interesting huh…really intelligent!!! He sent all of his 10 children to overseas for further studies and at that time it was very rare and not every ‘typical china man’ would allow their children to go abroad.
Grandpa… I miss you so much…

LOTR - The Exhibition
I went to this LOTR exhibition during the Easter break 2 weeks back. Actually I wasn’t intended to go at all because the entrance ticket is quite pricey, I think it was nearly 30 aussie dollar per head. But then my auntie went and kept telling me how impress she is and try to persuade me to go. She convinced me and I made up my mind to pay a visit with my friends.
The exhibition was really really superior and it amazed me so much. I thought it was a once-a-life-time experience to go behind the scene of this world famous motion picture trilogy. It took them 3 years just to imagine and put together the settings, buildings, weapons and costumes which described in the novel, just in words. If I wasn’t wrong they spent 8 solid years to film this trilogy. The costumes and weapons stunned me the most as they really made all the costumes and let the actors wear them so that the movements are more authentic. I think there were more than 5000 pieces of them. Guess what… the total weight of the costume of those Rohan warriors is almost 10kg and these warriors are actually all ladies whom are the trainer of the horses used in the movie. Heaps still to describe and it is a disgrace that I couldn’t take any picture inside the exhibition.
After all, it is really payoff for the entrance ticket. I think the exhibition is going on around the world from country to country. So if it happens to stop at the nearest city around you, please don’t hesitate to go. Believe me, even you are not a LOTR fans, you will still like it, very much perhaps.
