“Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.” ~by Og Mandino

五月。约会


五月的第一天是劳动节,也是公共假期,大家闲着也是闲着,所以就约好一起出来聚一聚。Fikar带了一位聋哑朋友,Mr.David,来join我们。起初还担心他无法融入我们的圈子,会闷到他,但恰恰相反。他很friendly&nice,也很爱"用手说话"。特别是谈到"藤",他更是会不停的比手划脚告诉我们许多关于"藤"的东西。原来在退休前,David是从事用藤编织各类手工的工作,大约有二至三十年之久,可谓经验老道哦。也因此,家里大大小小的藤制家具都由他一手包办,手工非常精致,一点都不马虎哟!!为什么我会知道?因为我看过啊。哈。。。

We just had a gathering on 1st of May. Everyone dressed up nicely to show their cutest, sweetest and most handsome look. I was wearing a short pant with grid texture and my lovely buddy - Niko was coincidentally wearing a mini pant with the same pattern. We seemed to match with each other so well. So, we quickly sms Fikar to ask him to wear any pant with the same style to conspicuously show we are the same gang. Haha… We were having lots of fun during our gathering. We went to Ming Hub Ramen for breakfast and then we shopped at Tebrau City. Wow…. It was really tired but we had lots of fun. We intended to watch the movie – The Ironman but the queue was just too long – could hardly find the last one in the line! So, we gave up. Fikar brought along a new friend (David) and introduced him to us. David has listening problem but he is friendly and talkative. He used hand sign (some sort of body language) to communicate with us. Niko, Low & I never learned it before, so Fikar was doing all the translation. It was very interesting to know the hand sign which David told us was originated from US. He taught me some simple expression like eating, hungry, thirsty, toilet, how are you, thank you, tire, lazy and …etc. What a memorable day! We ended our gathering with a visit to David’s house. We stayed there till 11:00pm. His house was so well decorated (Bali’s style – lots of decoratives made of cane). I hope one day in near future I can have a cozy little house which I can design it with my own theme as well! By then, everyone was exhausted so we call it quit. Aliyos…
