its been a while..

Hi bloggers and blog-walkers... how r u? fine? :) i hope so..
my last update was almost a month now. i've been busy..yeah.. my final exam is coming, and i'm doing my last assignment for anthropology today, i mean now.. :)

i noticed that nobody respond to my giveaway..not that i am dissapointed or whatsoever, because a part of me didn't really mind about it coz as you all see.. i didn't really tell everyone or make it official..all because i want it to be just between you and me.. yes.. to anyone who walk around here in my humble thoughts.. :)

nonetheless, i hope there is someone who really take up this so-called challenge from me. its easy i guess..or maybe a bit boring? that people don't really want to share their story.. well.. its up to you to make it interesting though.. i'm not expecting you to tell everything or every detail of your life.. i respect your privacy.. :) just tell me something that you would like to tell me.. i just want to be friend..^^

enuf for that..

hurm, my random thought today is about the flooding information in facebook. yeah, a lot of shocking news and heated issue came surfaced in the fb.. did you realise it too?? me is a definitely yes!
especially about the little Chinese girl who died after having a battle with the injuries she got..a van trampled on her.. and all the reason why people ignore her is absurd! yeah and the driver too! see how cheap life is for them... :( i cant sleep for two day thinking about what i saw in the video.
and also about the domestic violence, etc etc, the natural disaster, etc etc,,argument on religion.. and the politics news..

thank to the vast info that overflowed in facebook. i dont have to read newspaper, i could sit and read them at home. fb got them all... and yeah.. i think people is more aware nowadays.. people are more educated, more informed and more critical in their opinion.. everyone is commenting, everyone is giving their piece of thoughts.

however, a pang of realisation hit me today. i mean just now. that's why i've decided to write this entry.

how many hours we spend checking fb? how long we think what to reply or write or post comment in fb? how long we spend our time reading and browsing, stalking and hunting peoples in facebook?

true or not.. we forgot to really look our surrounding. WE LOOK BUT WE DIDN'T SEE.
that our world is totally in the brink of tremendous disaster. we look at the biggest earthquake in Japan, look at the heart wrenching story, look at the fall down of the strongest economic continent, look at the human misery, war, death, nature disaster.. there's too much uncertainty and anxiety in this world., i am not trying to make you feel sick about them all.. i just want us to realise that we couldn't deny this is happening.. we wake up everyday, do our obligation.. and on..and on..but don't really do much about it...

think about it in a sec..

what comes to your mind?

what could you do?

are you ready if all those things happen in front of your eyes?

are you ready  if it happen on you? could you go through with it? yes?no?

if this is the last day of your life..where you want to go?
what you want to do?

or......................you just ignore everything and just walk your life as if nothing will happen, that its not going to get you soon or never..

its happening and really is happening...

so what can we do?
lets pray together so we have wisdom to understand things that is hard to comprehend, that the humanity of people will not be tarnished as the world engulfed into despair.. 

mengucap syukur

seringkali kita lupa melihat tiap sisi kehidupan kita. sedar mahupun tidak, pernah kah kita mengingati dan menyedari bahawa tiap satu yang kita miliki itu adalah anugerah Tuhan.
sikap mengingati dan menyedari betapa segala sesuatu yang kita ada itu hanyalah pinjaman semata kita di dunia pasti mampu membuat kita sentiasa berasa cukup dengan apa yang kita ada.

pernahkan kita ingat?
pernahkah kita lihat?
pernahkah kita rasa?
pernahkah kita mengucap syukur?

bermula dari apa yang ada pada diri kita..
kesihatan tubuh jasmani..
kemampuan kita untuk berfikir..
kemampuan kita untuk mempamerkan emosi kita..
pakaian yang selesa..
keperluan harian yang sentiasa ada..
makanan dan minuman..

lihat lebih luas..

apa yang kita ada..
duit..meskipun tidak banyak..
kereta? atau wang untuk menggunakan kemudahan awam..
laptop?
mobile phone?
buku2..nota2..
bahkan setiap helaian kertas yang kita ada..
semua itu bukan milik kita..

melainkan milik Tuhan.

lihat lebih jauh..
keluarga..
teman-teman,
orang yang dikasihi..

burung2 di udara,
ikan2 di lautan..
segala binatang yang merayap di bumi..

indahnya ciptaan Tuhan..

pernahkah kita mengucap syukur..??

mengucap syukurlah dalam segala sesuatu. bahkan dalam setiap situasi yang kita hadapi. kerana semua itu sudah ditentukan oleh Tuhan yang memegang kehidupan kita.
adakah dengan risau dengan apa yang akan kita pakai, apa yang akan kita makan,
risau dengan cabaran2 yang kita hadapi itu, dapat menambah sehasta lagi dalam hidup kita?

mengucap syukurlah sebab dengan itu kita akan sentiasa bersukacita. bahkan kita akan selalu punya rasa rendah hati.. kerana ada yang lebih penting dan lebih besar dari semua yang kita lihat pada pandangan mata..

mengucap sykurlah.. :)

2 weeks! outing to Yaringa Alpacas at Currency Creek in South Australia

oh my..its been two weeks already~ quite sometime i guess..
its my mid sem break for two weeks time. so far, i don 't have any interesting plan to do for the holiday. maybe i'll just stay at home and finish up all my assignment, and prepare for my presentation and coming final exam.
but last week, i've been to Apalca Farm! it was a great day for me. i feel bonded towards Queen Province. who is she?? lets scroll down and read my story on that day.

click here to know more! : Yaringa Alpacas

On 24th of Sept, my church friends and  I went to Apalca Farm owned by one of our church members in Trinity Church. The place was located near Victor Harbour. The journey takes about one hour and a half to get there. Upon arriving there, we met with one of Michael's horse. Michael is Susan's brother, she was the owner of the farm. They were very generous to us, providing the lunch and free tour of the farm. I'm so glad to met the animals there. Especially the Alpaca!

 Michael introduce us to his horse. But he said the horse is not fit for riding because of the curve on its back. Its quite obvious i think. There is another black stallion near us but i couldn't take his picture because he keep running around as the kids were excitingly chasing after him just to have a pet over his silk black skin.

Introducing you the Alpaca! These three Alpaca had won many awards for the best female and male Alpaca. Susan told us that Alpaca is from South America. Could be found in Peru, Chile..etc

Susan told us that to decide what is the criteria of a high quality Alpaca is to look at their wools. it might look dirty outside. but when we open the wool, and look inside they are white!!and very very clean! and the more dense the wool is the higher the quality of the wools. they wools is just where our fleece comes from. aren't they cozy! and warm too! i have one in my room. glad to have them especially during winter! :)

The middle Alpaca is the daddy, the son is the brown one. I forgot their names already. And that's what I found quite interesting. All of the Alpaca has their own names. And each of them has their own stories on how they've got their names.

 His weight is about 80 kg! 

some info from Wikipedia:  Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike llamas, alpacas were not bred to be beasts of burden but were bred specifically for their fiber. Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, similar to wool. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America, and sweaters, socks, coats and bedding in other parts of the world.

 Believe me the fur is so soft you feel like you want to cuddle the Alpaca. This female Alpaca had won many awards for the best quality of wool.

 They did look cute from behind aren't they. They look like a sheep right?? but no, they are from camels family! not breed from giraffe and sheep..hha

 Susan told us that Alpaca is very useful to the farmers. Alpacas could help to herd the sheep. They hate fox and they do kills fox. They will jump over the fox and kill them by trample down the fox again and again using their legs and weights. That is why, Alpaca does not go along very well with dogs!

 Owh ya, Alpacas do fights! what do you think what guys fight for?! hha, and they fight using their neck. they wrestle their neck with each other. but they do gather together as well. they feel safe being in a group. and amazingly, when they sniff each other and put their forehead together, means they trust each others. sometime the younger Alpacas tend to stay close with the older Alpacas.

 Most of them won awards too. These group is the best Alpaca!

Ok,enough for the tour. Before we continue our hunts around the farm, we went back to the first stop. We're having our lunch! Thanks to Michael and Susan's family for their generosity to provide us lunch.

 Yummy isn't it? Owh, sadly i forgot to take picture of my dessert! I have an ice cream!

 After the lunch, Bernie share short bible talks with us. :) its about how our life outside the range of God, and when we lives within God's perimeter.

 i like this view. oh, maybe i forgot to mention this..but Australia's skies is sooo bluee that you want to stare them until your eyes get hurt. but you feel so calm as if the skies calm you. you feel so peeaceful, you feel like want to lay on the grass and watch over the skies.. ohkay..hha..talk too much! lol

This is Queen Province. Susan told me that QP is very special. when i ask why, she said that QP was born 3months after her mother died in an accident. at first i was confused. But Susan explained to me that QP's mother is one of the Farm's best female Alpaca. She got pregnant, they take her ovum and placed it into another Alpaca. Amazingly, they are twins. QP has a twin sister. But she was in another barn, for she is going to a show next week, so Susan did not want her fur to be too dirty and to be ready for the show. Because, from what i've seen this Alpaca likes to play with the dirt, like the cats or dogs playing on the grass.. its a nice view though.

Michael asked us to catch them in pairs. We had to catch one males and females according to their colours. Its not that difficult to determine which is male and female. All you have to do is to look on their ears. Female had a gold pins on the right ear and male on the left ear. And to remember this is simple. Just remember that female are always right! hha..
Well, QP is just so adorable.  I have the chance to catch the Alpacas. And i've learnt that to catch the Alpacas, we had to catch them by aiming their necks. Yes go for the necks! kinda like hugging them on the neck i guess. At first QP is quite stubborn. And actually she had a cream colour behind those brown wools on top of her body. And it was a wonderful experience feeling when she trust you as she lean on you as you walk together with her.

Owshh, i feel like i was hugging a big teddy bear!

Well, after all the wonderful experience, finally we all went back to Adelaide. I fell asleep on the way back home. I felt wonderful.
1st because i finally able to join the Trinity's activity,
2nd i met new friends, Phang from Ipoh, Perak and Ivy from KL, with Louis their son. Ivy is 4months pregnant, she's going to do the scan next month. Praise the Lord for the good news..:) and i met Melissa doing her phd in microbiology, on pneumonia. She's from Malaysia as well but had migrated to New Zealand when she was still small. :) met one Sabahan fellow but forgot her name. Met many new friend, but that's all i could remember..:( owha ya met Diana from South America, doing phD.
3rd,because i could see all the great God's creation. how grateful i am. to see all the beautiful scenery along the journey.
4th is to have fellowship with others
and above all..i don't know why but i feel contented with how God works with my life. i feel like i want to give more.. :)

well..i think that's the story of my last weekend. i'm looking forward to my next excursion. until then, i hope all the readers take care of yourself! and i hope you enjoy reading! :)

Malaysian Carnival

     On the 11 Sept 2011, Malaysian Carnival was held here in Adelaide at the Victoria Square, the heart of South Australia City. The place was chosen mainly because of the strategic place and easy to access. I enjoy the event very much, and i eat a lot too..the event was to brought back bits of Malaysian Culture to Adelaide to promote what Malaysia culture is.

one word.. awesomeness!!

i enjoy the event very much. there are many food stalls selling Malaysian cuisine. And the best part is, Malaysian Celebrity Chef, Datuk Chef Wan was exclusively invited down here to do demonstrate how Malaysian cuisine was prepared. and the food is...superb! he said, it was the most delicious food,,mainly because..it was free!! indeed Mr. Chef Wan!
and he's damn funny..everyone laugh heartily coz he was making joke endlessly...and you know when he seem unstoppable. but his humor keep everyone happy..:)

other than that, we're giving out many performances for those who come to watch and enjoy. To feel and see what Malaysian culture is about.
indeed it was a busy day, but all the sacrifices for a month was fully paid! :) everyone who participate in this event give the best as they could.

For me, the best part of this event is..i meet the Sabahan people down here! it has been planned actually, we know each other through facebook group.

new friends..Fizul,Charles,Kak Anita n her husband, Khalisa(Sydney),Shahirah and cute Yasmin!

actually kak anita brought her whole family but her eldest son was taking this picture while Rohan,her second child is playing near us. what a great moment! and i miss Yasmin so much!she's sooo adorable. we're planning to do second meet up. and i can't wait to see the whole family again!
