Controversial. I'm the kind of girl who loves nature. And I love people too. People make me cry. Abuse, poverty, depression, loneliness, and just basic pain and rot. If I had to choose between the preservation of nature and giving a better life to those who really need it, I'd definitely choose the latter. After all, people go to heaven and hell. The trees of the jungles don't. And neither do ducks or elephants etc. You know I've realised something. We deserve everything, but then again we deserve nothing at all.Life should be fair to each and every one of us, and yet due to the sin within us, we shouldn't get anything at all. Then why do we have what we have? Why are the good poor and the evil rich? Life is unfair but God is good. He loves us a lot and it breaks his heart to see people in hell. Then why does hell exist? For the sake of justice. I guess only God can give us all the answers we seek. Will I doubt? No.You know when I told people that I was interested in doing psychology, here are some of the responses I got:
"I thought you liked art?""You serious!?""Wow, I didn't know you liked psychology""But psychology ar... blablabla"Somewhat negative I guess. And yet there were stuff like:
"That's good, that's good""Once you've got an idea of what you've want, go for it. Don't (motions with hands) left, right"It won't be easy I guess in decision-making and all (sighs). If told you why I wanted to do this, you'd either call me
crazy, declare my explanation a whole load of
bullshit or say something like
'such an olden age thinking! girl we live in the 21st century'.
Whatever.
Anyhow, I gotta do my pre-u first.
My challenge:
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. - James 2:17 KJV
p.s. I'll continue with my holiday post when I'm happier and when I get pictures of the rafflesia.
Hohoho! It's a happy orange cube. I had too much scary orange felt lying around and had to waste it. And since it's somewhat identity-less, it could be anything including a papaya cube.
Oh and I decorated hair pins as well. Haha for the sheer fun of it. I love felt. Must get more felt. Yay. Oh and I don't know if you'll ever see any of these hair pins on my head but hey, ...you never know...
(Doesn't it remind you of cotton candy!?)
Here's us nearing lunchtime. Wahoo reaching the lake! Okay the lake is located in Perak, high up in the hilly area. We traveled the East-West highway from Gerik to the jetty where we would take a boat ride to our island.
Some ducklings I met at the jetty. So cute! I think I fell in love with ducks. I can't remember the last time I saw ducks up close and personal (not in soups of course!).
On the way to our island.
You know the more I capture these photographs, the more I realise that these photos are no where near the real thing.
(ahem) Let the girl have some syok sendiri moments please.
The water is amazing. Freshwater feel so different to the touch compared with seawater. The water is cold and feels so clean. Very yummy (I didn't taste i though uhm). We went swimming. With life jackets. There's no way you can even toe the bottom of the lake and fresh water means you can't float all that easily. Even good swimmers had to wear them life jackets. At one point the guide told us that the depth of the lake was 70-80 feet. What's considered shallow is 10-15 feet. We were swimming at that depth. Then it was dinner for us and yes sleep. Oh wait didn't mention them cicadas. These insects come out at night making lots of noise and they fly here and there banging into people. It actually hurts when they bang into you. They're harmless creatures and are captured for traditional Chinese medicine.
