一个人的拯救

This is a story about a man, Liu, who has adopted a child, named Chong, in China. Chong was only about a few months old when he was adopted by Liu and he was dumped by his parents. So, Liu and his family (wife, two sons and a daughter) decided to adopt Chong as their family member. Chong was cute and happy all the while and Liu and his wife were also willing to care for Chong and treat him as their own child.

After a few years, Chong began to behave differently. He cries for the whole night and sweats easily. These symptoms continued for some time. So, Liu brought him to the hospital for check up. Unfortunately, the doctor found out that Chong has been suffering from anaemia since birth and needs bone marrow transplantation in order to survive. However, Liu is only a farmer and does not have much income for such a huge surgery. Therefore, the only thing to do is to transfuse blood to Chong monthly. And for this, Liu collects alluminium tins and plays Er Hu at night to earn extra income.

The transfusion of blood has cost a lot. Liu was forced to borrow money from his relatives and friends and has accumulated a lot of unclear debts. Chong is now six. Over the years, Liu's family adviced him to give Chong away as they do not have enough money to survive like that. His second son is currently under medical control too. But Liu insisted to have Chong with him as he couldn't see Chong suffering. He would like to care for Chong.

Liu's wife and two of his children left him because of this. Liu also found that Chong has dissapeared out of a sudden. He suspects that his wife has sold Chong to someone else as she does not want Liu to continue raising Chong. After a few rounds of search, Chong is finally found. He was with Liu's daughter all the while, and now he has been returned back to Liu. Liu also said that he is willing to support this child although he is not financially stable. He will do his best for Chong because he wants Chong to live happily and healthily.

Be responsible for your family.

A friend in need is a friend indeed

There sure are times when we feel down or sad for some kind of reasons or problems unsolved, and we need support and comfort from somebody else that we trust and is close to. They could be our family, friends, teachers, counsellors, etc. However, these people are not always ready to help us as they might have something else to do at that point of time. And there arises the feeling of lonely and helpless, and also the thought of "no one is beside me, i am alone."

Recently, B looked for me due to some of the problems faced by her, and she would like to talk to someone. She messaged me through msn, but i did not reply to her message because i did not notice it as i was playing game. After i saw her message, she has already appear offline. So, i smsed her and asked her about that. She came online and told me about her problems.

Throughout our conversations, she kept on telling me that no one is beside her to comfort her when she's down, no one to support her when she needs it, and no one to share her happiness too. And i replied, "you still have your friends here for you. When you need help, just message me, i will always try my best to help you. The most important thing is, you must say it out so that you can feel better. =)" And she thank me for helping her.

The point of writting this out is to remind ourselves (including me and of course the readers) to try our best to help our friends and family whenever they need help. I mean, if they have made an effort to call or message you and tell you about their problems, they must have been seeing you as someone trustworthy and is comfortable sharing it with you. Try not to ignore them or say something like "i dont know" "sorry, i cant help you", this in turns makes them feel more helpless. Friendship wont last long like this. In fact, we will also go through depression and need help from someone else, isn't it?

Remember, do good and we will feel good. It is actually happy to help someone. It is not the kind of happiness we feel when we are rewarded or when we have succeeded, it's the kind of happiness deep inside our heart. It could not be described using any words. So, do not only mind our own business, but sometimes, care for others who needs help. You will feel more satisfied and happy that way.

Moodless

For once i felt that i could not do anything because i am totally moodless without reasons.

No mood to watch movie; No mood to draw; No mood to listen to musics; No mood to eat; No mood to read; No mood to knit; No mood to chat; No mood to sleep.

What can i do?

5 minutes later, i was jumping and spinning all around my house, but still without happiness.  LOL

Im excited!!!!!

After signing up for a course at Monash University, M'sia, i was so excited about it! A new life is beginning soon...

For what i heard from the adults and some of my seniors, University life is exciting. Mum always asked me to enjoy myself and get involve in activities in university since young. And now, i am going to start a new life in Monash after CNY! Woohoo~~

I am going to be in a NEW environment, meet NEW friends, exposed to NEW experiences, learn NEW knowledge....... Oh, i simply cant wait for that day to arrive!

Goals i want to achieve in a NEW year:
1. Be more friendly and initiative, talk to new schoolmates.
2. Excel in my academic, with an average of 85% and above.
3. Involve in various activities to gain new experiences.

Well, after i told mum about my goals for this year, she said that probably the Success Principle by Jack Candfield helped a lot, and i am clearer on my goals......?? But anyway, i am going to enjoy the first year in university, and at the same time, treating it seriously to achieve my goals! =D
