was watching World Vision Famine 30 hr concert @ Taiwan... all the clips of the Sudan children, Zimbawe children, etc... The children skinny to the bone and running in drapes of clothes. Yet they are enthusatic to learn, uncomplaining to work and chores.

We live in prosperity and good fortune. There are others in the world seeking just one more meal. The banner behind the performing artist was 1 dollar saves 1 life. 1 dollar provides them with a meal, a meal that will have to go through customs, the authorities, and the thousands hands that will pass it through. By the time the victims get them, will it be in time? The host mention every 3.09s a child there dies. The time we choose what to eat, the time we decided to stop eating, the time we stand up and leave the remaining food to be poured away by the canteen auntie uncle.

Indeed there is nothing we can do alone. But they are people helping them, and we can help these people. I'm not saying the flag days, but the more direct alternatives. Ways you can guarantee your effort goes to those that need it and not some institution's already rich funding.
Which would you choose, a bowl of rice for a 4 year old to share with her slibings in Africa or that one more ball held in some grand 5 star hotel?

Happy National Day!

What is a country? That was a question i was wondering about last week. Since so many coffeeshop uncles dislike the system, they claim national day as a show for the people. But then why do people still celebrate national day?

A country. A piece of land? A place called home? After much thought, it is not just a land. It's the people, the system, the mix of interaction, the advancement, the foreigness and the fate that faces a group of people.

42 years back, perhaps they didn't think so much. The main concern would be focused how to continue to earn their keep, how to live in peace. This day 42 years back would be filled with delight, sense of freedom and yet overwhelming fear. The our system kept us till now, but education pushes us to more freedom and hence we lose delight. Is that what is happening now? wonder what will be our future then~

我不是很聪明，但我也不算太笨。可是对于朋友，家人，周围的人，我越来越不能掌握。不只是我没长大，还是他们长得太快，不知不觉我们疏远了。

我的担心变成你多余的包袱。我的提醒变成你多余的唠叨。我已改变不了你，也不能影响你的想法。以前一起说笑的日子，你忘了。以前单纯的想法，以被你抛弃。以前一起走的我们，路线成了两条平行线。

你现在只听他的，只爱和顺你意的人相处。盲目地找崇拜者，挡住了一起度过好多年的友情。

现在我放弃了，我想我愿意放弃这份友情，也不愿再看你变得越来越不自爱了。也不要面对你对我说的伤人的话。
