Famine~

Famine~

Wee~ I survived 30 hours of famine~! Can you? Hehe well, I went to this event organized by world vision, it’s called 30 hours famine. So, what did we do there? Obviously, we fasted! Yes, fasted for 30 hours! No break and no solid food, we survived only by using water! Well, actually is not as tough as you think la. The activities there are fantastic!

Day 1

It started at 12pm. I reached there at 10 something with Yee and Mei~ Then we met up with Manda and Kim Kim there. After collecting our shirts and name tags, we went into the stadium and given a brief by our emcee. William is sooo GOOD! His is good in both English and mandarin! Besides that, his joke is funny too~ unlike lulu, well, even if lulu say the same joke, the effect will be different~ haha

The ice breaker was fun~ Never mind that, it is not the main point here, so I won’t be saying it much on it here hehe. After the boring yet meaningful + encouraging messages from those VIP, we finally started our famine!! Gosh I am already hungry by that time! =P. The 1^st activity was to let us understand how important CLEAN WATER is to those poor children… Do you believe that those children can’t even get clean water to drink? They have to survive by drinking dirty water that contains larvae. These larvas, after being drank into their body, will grow into 3 feet long, yes 3 FEET LONG WORM!!! It is called the Guinea Worm. I don’t have the photos with me, but imagine there is this 3 feet long worm in your body. Every day, it moves within your body, and then finally when it finally fully grown, it will find a way out of your SKIN!!! The worst part is you can’t pull it out in one short. You will have to pull it out bits by bits… Ewww…. We are so blessed here in Malaysia…. And yet, people are wasting food and water here without any regret…

By the way, it is about 2 or 3 pm by now, and I don’t think I feel hungry now; activities and the thinking section diverted my attention!

The next activity was to let us understand how they feel in their shelter(Home). Where they live… Do you believe that your room is actually their house??? Yes, it is. They live there like, forever? It’s so sad when you look into their house. They seem okay with it. Really, I really felt like wanted to help them when I saw those slides, but what I can do is so little… Haiz…

By the way, did I mentioned that there were more than 5000 people participated? Give them a loud applauds!!! They deserve that!!! WOOHOO~

Around 730pm, things started to get high! Really HIGH!!! This mood affected me as well!! Yes, I got HIGH! Haha, join them in shouting and waving the hands~ woo~ nice~~ Itz concert time!! Nicholas, Fish and Daniel are there too! Besides that, other artists also attended~ I just love it!! I took some video too~ everything is like a live concert and we totally forgot about the hunger! I slept at 12am, 18 hours more to go!!

Day 2

1^st activity we had is a religious thingy. We (Manda, Yee and I) went to the Christian worship section while kim kim and Mei went to catholic section. After that we have a yoga section~ nice~~ (Jas and gang said that I am not a boy because my flexible body~~ blee) After that, another inspiring talk by dr. koh if I am not mistaken… He shown us the slides in China, how poor are them and how helpless they are. Again, I’m really touched by the slides. T.T. Really wanted to help, I really hoped that I can do at least a bit for them, like what I did in the famine.

After the talk, we all got so tired! We slept at the seats in the stadium. Manda, Mei, Yee Kim and I. Guess what? Performance by Suang Fu energized us!! Sudden the energy came and we shouted, applauded with excitement and with a proud feeling! Then the other group which also are not as perfect as us in term of physical, performed. That girl really got us all HIGH again! This time, we really forgot about the hunger!!! Then the touching part comes, a blind man, came on stage and sang! His voice is so GOOD! We put up our handphones and torchlight to make the environment look more like a concert and wave~ It was soooo beautiful but, the great singer can’t see… Again, I felt that I am really BLESSED! I wish I can bless others with the blessing I got… Thank you Lord!

I will skip the other part cause it’s nothing, just another experience for me~ nice~ Then at 6pm, FINALLY OVER!!! We made it! We survive!!! Heh,

Human, what exactly are them? Thought, why do human think? Why don't humans mind act the same way as animals?

Why Why Why?

I think some of you that is reading this will have this thought. Normally when you think this way, it kinda means that you are having problems. Because you can feel and think, you are in trouble, you want to escape from the problem you are facing now, you want to escape from the suffering feeling you are feeling now. Right?
In this post, i will focus on why do human thinks, feel, and even give their own opinion to some situation. And how human give their own opinion.

Why do human have thought and feeling? Why human EVEN exists? Tough question. No one really can answer it. Based on my understanding of life, I do believe in Supreme Power, God. But there are so many so-called God in this world, did all of them work together and build this world? My answer is a No. Only ONE God created this world. Only Him created human. Only Him give us something that distinguish us from other living organism in this world. According to the Bible, we are made based on Him. We are not God, but we certainty are an image of Him!Then no wonder we can thinks and feel! Because He can thinks and feel too! Animals can't really think and feel. Plant certainly can't too.

Then maybe you want explanation,how sure am i that God exists. We can't see Him, we can't feel Him, what more about touching Him! But then, we can't prove that He does not exists as well right? So, no point debating bout this, whether you believe or not, up to you. God is something supreme to us, is like the other kind. Special one. And God can think and feel too right? You ask : so?. Try to link it together, God want us to have faith in Him not because we see Him, He want us to have faith even we can't see Him! If it were like this, if we already have faith in Him when other have doubt, when God really appear in front of us we will of course even excited and will put even more faith in Him right? We are human, we are weak, we tend to get bored with things we own or able to touch and see. God knows it, that is why He chose this way to let us choose whether we want to have faith in Him or not! But He did send Jesus His Son down to earth and live with us rite? He give us a BIBLE(Basic Instruction Book of Living on Earth)! Cool eh?

So, now you know why human thinks, because we are special and we are an image of God! That is the only answer i can give you. Continue thinking about it will only leads you to no where! So, now, why human always give comment, critiques and opinion about almost everything other people do? Because human are like that! You can't change how we are!

Human are self-centered, and i mean we ARE! No matter how holy you are, how people think of you as self-less, we are still self-centered! Just how self-centered you really are, that's all. When i mean self-centered, it means that no matter what happen, we will certainly view it from our point of view first. Because we are an observer! When we observe, we tend to make up story, relate other factor why someone act like this and that and mostly is because what we see! So, this clear up why human often give opinion, critiques and comment about other people. And if you notice it, when we make comment bout other people, we tend to get a bit happier~ We think we are better than others! So, keep this in mind, no one is better than other people in this world.

Then how do human think?

Normally, when something happen, we automatically will give an internal attribution to that person, means we will think that because of that person's attitude why he is acting like this. Here is an example:

When teacher ask a question, someone sitting in front of you suddenly stand up and give a completely WRONG answer! So, you automatically will say, "This guy is stupid!" (Kenneth Phun 2007)

See? This is what almost all people will think. Then you are tired, lazy, not motivated to think more about his behavior.Therefore you stop, and takes "He is a stupid idiot" assumption as your final assumption. A lot people think this way, but for some people that willing to think more, he will try and think about other factor, "maybe he didn't understand the question?""maybe in this situation is wrong but it can be correct if in other situation?" and then if you really think like this, you will probably feel better about that person.
