I’m like a canary whose life is committed inside a cage. Although I’m being fed properly with seeds and water everyday, but it’s always the same thing. I have to continuously take good care of the feathers on my body so that I continue to look shiny and beautiful. Sometimes, it takes a few more twitters and a few more melodious tunes to earn something extra and something different from my owner. But I can’t possibly do this everyday or my throat will expire itself before it is supposed to. In the end, I just have to contend with the same seeds and plain water everyday and only get the extras once in a while.
But in God I shall believe, I shall one day bring down, crumble, damage or destroy the cage bars that surround and enclose me to spread my wings and soar high up in the sky. And until that day comes, I SHALL NEVER GIVE UP!

The Day It Shall Come
看看以上这图片。想象如果图片当中是自己和志同道合的朋友在同时成功一起拥抱庆祝成功的喜悦……
Take a look at the picture above. Picture yourself and your comrades of the same goal as these two people in the picture embrace each other in tears of joy celebrating the success attained…
Lihatlah gambar di atas. Gambarkan anda dan juga rakan seperjuangan anda seperti dua orang dalam gambar ini berpeluk sesama diri meraikan kejayaan yang dicapai…

相信
第一次看那录影片时，因为想起我对创造未来美好生活的决心，而流下眼泪。后来，因为一些小挫折，即使看了好几次的那录影片时，似乎好像没有什么感觉了。觉得有点不太对劲，并下定决心上车到吉隆坡去。即使用了整8至10小时的等候巴士时间、车程以及在旅程上遇到堵车的时间，不管有多累，但仍然坚持，因为我知道我要的就是这个目标。
认识了新朋友，虽然见面不到一天，但可以感受到他们的真诚及贴心。试想一位用尽了20年唱大戏的和一位卖鸡饭、烧腊的，可以那么清楚她们心中要的是什么样的生活，今日可以创造出她们要的一片天，虽然没说出口，但心里很感到佩服、尊敬。尤其是唱了20年大戏的‘大婶’，今天可以潇洒享尽生活。她给了一些指教，但其实当时心里还感到有些犹豫，我是否能做到这样吗？
今天早上，和大伙们一起吃早餐时，他告诉了我一句话：“我相信你能做得到。期待大家一起成功！”心里仍然是有那犹豫的存在……
搭车返新山时，我拿起手机便重新看了那录影片……
录影片的开头乐曲：《You Raise Me Up》、开头片段文字：“因为我们相信生活将会更美好”
他：“我相信你能做得到……”
她：“如果我这个没什么受教育的可以，你们也一定可以的！”
“相信”，这两个字除了出自自己的家人和一些朋友的口中，很少会有认识不到一年的人曾经对我这么样的说过。一位陌生人、一位认识不到一年的朋友，就因为秉持这对自己的信念而相信我能办得到。越看那录影片，越是让心情受‘刺激’，不仅流下了眼泪……
2009年4月12日，晚上7点17分，当巴士快到士姑来收费站，当录影片快结束，巴士录音机所收听的频道播了这首歌：《You Raise Me Up》……

When I first watched that video clip, it reminded me the determined decision I made to shape my desired future, causing me to drop tears. However, due to a small setback later, despite watching the clip several times, my heart seemed to feel empty. I sensed something wrong and thus decided to take a trip to Kuala Lumpur. Despite having used 8 to 10 hours to wait for the bus, on the road and even stuck in a jam, even though I was tired, I still persisted, because I know this is what I want.
I made new friends. Although we met for only a couple of hours, but I felt their sincerity and care. Thinking back of two women I have met, one who performed Chinese operas close to 20 years, and another, an ordinary chicken rice seller, who know exactly the kind of life they want and actually shaped it out today. Though my lips were sealed, but I had a sense of awe and respect for them, especially the Chinese opera performer ‘auntie’, who, today, led her life in full free control. She gave me a few tips, but at that time, I still doubted myself, “Can I actually do it?”
This morning, when I joined them for breakfast, he said this to me, “I believe you can do it. I await the time when all of us succeed!” Still, I doubted myself…
On the journey back to Johor Bahru, I picked up my phone to play that video clip again…
The background song of that clip – “You Raise Me Up”
The opening words of that clip – “Because We Believe That Life Can Be Better”
He: “I believe you can do it…”
She: “If I, an uneducated person can do it, you guys can also do it!”
“Believe”. Aside my own family members and several friends, it is seldom that people whom I have known for less than a year ever used that word to me. A complete stranger, a friend whom I have only known for 5 months, because of their belief in me, they believed I could do it. The more I watched that clip, the more emotions are ‘provoked’, tears started to flow…
12 April 2009, 7.17 pm, when the bus approached the Skudai toll, when the clip was about to end, the channel that the bus radio was tuned in to played “You Raise Me Up”…

虚伪
即使是用心去和别人搞好及维持关系，有些人就是喜欢搞划清界线。真的是很虚伪！虽然说平时要对人小心提防，但明明都相识了一场，而且是已经超出了三个月，虽然称不上好朋友，但是连普通朋友这个称号都不值得挂上吗？有些人就是不要把心门开的广阔一点，这个样子，怎么去感受到别人与他们交情的诚意呢？这样的人会快乐吗？我也不知道答案，就由老天爷回答吧。
但是要是现今社会的每个人都要这样做的话，怪不得我们今日的社会大部分的人会对左邻右舍的人都毫不相干。回想看，虽然说现代化对社会是个很重要的元素，但是步伐弄得太快，往往都会把一些建造一个真正的幸福繁荣社会的元素给牺牲掉，尤其是人情。这社会还有人情味在吗？“有”这答案是肯定的，但是往往都在发生患难的时候才拿出来表现，平时就不当一回事。这难道不虚伪吗？现代人，珍惜眼前的幸福吧！别等到失去了，后悔就来不及了。
话说回来，要是要把界线划得那么清楚的话，我毫不受影响。因为就是把界线划得那么清楚，才使我得了力量以及肯定去创造我要的未来、我的梦想。这一路走来虽然还不到一年，但是也感受到了相识仅仅四个月的伙伴的热情和诚恳。虽然四个月算短，但就这样热谈了起来，感觉上好像认识了十年的老朋友。这个环境比现实社会来的好几万倍！以每个人为‘人’平等来看待，不分高下，即使有再多的眼泪，但也是热的，出自于感动的，不是悲伤或气愤所导致的。其实老天爷给我们这世界是很美好、很简单的，但是就是人自己本身却要去复杂化它罢了。回归到原本吧！
