什么是

The Difference Between the Impossible and the Possible --- Determination

Landcare Camping --- 8 - 10 September


Chronology of my trip --- An experience of life

Day 1 --- 8th September

Cameron's truck with all our backpacks, tents and sleeping bags broke down ... We decided as a group to head back to Uni after 5 hours drive .... Everyone was disappointed ... especially Anna In her diary " Today we are going camping, I will be a very very interesting trip. But, Cameron's car broke down ... I hope we DO NOT go back ... " That time, it was raining heavily .... " Are we able to plant trees ? " " What are we going to do without our bag packs and tents ? " These questions crosses almost everyones mind ... In the end, we decided to head back to UNSW ... Suddenly, a call from the owner of the land .... came .... He said, if we don't go and plant the trees .... they will die after 2 weeks ..... Our group ... Some people are happy with that, some are worried, some are sad ... The happiest is Anna ... We at that moment ... are uncertain of what will happen ... Weather was bad ... truck broke down ... Not a good sign to continue ... the journey ...








Finally after 8 hours of hunger, stress, worried ... we reached safely Lucky enough, there is no rain ... Stars that filled the night sky ... The relieve and happiness in each of us ... The satisfaction of being determine ... Blends in the warmth of the camp fire ... Those are something that is hard to find in life ...

Day 2 --- 9th September

It is still raining, it is cold .... This time the campsite is not the same as last time ... It was just outside a bread and breakfast ... The tranquility of the place ... makes the snoring voice ... seems to be louder ... But, we are still enjoying the atmosphere ... although some had trouble sleeping under noisy conditions ... The bed and breakfast is nice ... That is my dream house ...

















We had our breakfast ... Hang around at campsite ... and








Start planting trees ... This time around ... 2000 trees ...

















Anna planted 120 trees ... At night ... we cook dinner together and have Fuji Collective band ... Everyone's dancing ... Our gang went to the bread and breakfast ...









Day 3 --- 10 th September

The Great Capertee Valley


































Time to go back ... All of us have certain feelings that bond us together ... Joining events ... to me, is not the event that matters ... Is the people ...











Anna writing her contacts for me ... Meet every Saturday in front of unigym :)

The most memorable trip I ever had ...
To have the chance to meet is a blessing ... To have a chance to talk to each other is a gift ... To remember and appreciate each others presence is the best ever thing to me ... Life is like waves ...

The Difference Between the Impossible and the Possible --- Determination

if we head back ...
nothing will happen ... life is just another daily routine ...
we continued ...
and we found something that we don't want to miss in life ...

KUMON my work place

Working in kUMON ...
Working with kids is a satisfying experience for me ..

The kids are really cute .....

These two are twins .....

The guy look like Faizan .....









Kids are simple, they like you means they like you ...
They don't like means they don't like you ...
Sometimes they will get bored with you ...
Dealing with kids ... can be challenging in a way ...

In the center the kids can be intelligent, kids can trained
to be intelligent kids can be few years ahead of their studies ...

But, I just want to be part of their life ... because, life is like a wave ...
You won't know just how you can affect others ... even by just doing
simple things ...

Pottery

3rd times in pottery lesson ...

2 cups done ....

These are not trimmed yet ...
Need to add the handles ...

Floriade In Canberra

26th September ...
The flower blooms in the nation's capital --- Canberra ...



Floriade --- Design with flowers

Flowers ?








Millions of flowers ?








What we see from the perspective of flowers?
















Action n Reaction


The action is looking from
the flowers, or rather the
flower world's perspective ....


Reaction is the emotions
evoked by looking at the
flower from that perspective ...


Flowers that we usually view
in a group
we never notice the
individuality ...

but looking from that
perspective


we do notice it...
