Is Today the last day…

I am so confused now, I m not sure if this is the last day I stay at Aussie land. Recalling the first day I stepped on Brissie land, I was in a daze. I didn’t even have a sense of direction and also the feeling of belongings to this land. Now, I start liking this Wallabies’ land. I know where to go for shopping, place to get good food and fun, whatever thing I wanna do.
Another thing I will miss is my friends here. I promised orally to my friends, that I am sure to return to Brisbane after CNY, but in my mind, I still even cant give myself an affirmed answer……

Visiting the only taoist temple in Brissie land

This plan had been in my minds for months and it came true yesterday when i had such a strong urge to get some spiritual consolation and seek some mental serenity from a sacred place. Definately, i planned to visit two temple, the first was taoist temple, Ching Song Guan, and the second was the Buddhist temple, Zhong Tian Si on a day, thinking that it was more well worth if two temple could be visited by paying once for daily ticket from Zone 1 to Zone 5. Due to some funny reason, i couldn't make it, and so i switched my visit to the first option. It took around two and a half hours from my house to the temple by sitting bus, getting train and walking. What a tiring journey! Although it drizzled after i reached the temple, it still seemed to be the most wonderful religious experience for me in oversea.

The temple really looks so quaint, though it was built in 1988 and everything inside, what i mean is those josstick urns, candle stands, ornaments, pots, altars and so on look like antiques from olden days. There are three separated important "halls" in the whole temple structure.

The first "hall" offers to the temple's protector -王灵官(Wang Ling Guan). The second "hall" offers to the Founder and Masters of one of the taoist section-(吕纯阳祖师,王重阳祖师,邱长春祖师)。 There are another two small halls at both side of the middle hall, which offer to the deity of war - 关圣帝君(Guan Sheng Di Jun) and goddess of sea - 妈祖(Mazhu)。The last hall, which also the main hall to Taoism, offer to the founders of Taoism - 三清(The Three Pure One)。In conclusion, it is the most gorgeous and also the only temple i have visited in Australia. So, take your time and pay there a visit. It worths.

Here i would like to share with you guyz some of the pics i took in the temple. Enjoy it.

Though i m tired, i still ask my friends to have some potlucks or go for a window shopping. One thing i know that i gonna miss my friends there very much soon......sob sob sob.......

Alma Mater


This was my Alma Mater, University of Queensland. Most of the time, i spent it at Hawken Engineering Building with my mates. Although the facade of the building doesnt look great, the latest technologies are well equiped within.


I hung out at the Engineering Library almost everyday, just to find the books i wanted for my compiled assignments. Especially my last sem, i had to stayed back till late night at the computer lab for the drawings. Anyway, thanks to my group mates who companied me and worked at it along.


Lunch? Normally i did not have it at the Uni reflexs coz the foods sold are too expensive, except for the short break time between lectures. Otherwise, me and my friends all prefered to have lunch at the Hawken Drive, which seemed like a rendezvous to us.


Uni life? Hahahaha, actually i quite enjoyed it coz this was my first time i studied abroad. It widens my horizon and increases my sensitivity to surrounding. For my first sem, i normally spent my time at home coz it was too expensive to shopping. I always tried to convert the price of goods to Malaysian Ringgit, which was actually quite suffering and senseless. After that, i bought what i want without considering it too much. That was fun! (Don't be too indulgent. Hahaha!!!)


No wonder parents said that Uni life is the best compared to working life. I start to miss my uni life now though i havent embarked on my working life. Anyway, i hope all my friends have a very good prospect, just like the dawn, imbued with hopes and vitality.

Moment

Yeahz, time flies so fast and now is the year of 2008. Graduation day seems to happen yesterday and i never realize that i have been at Brissie land slacking and doing nothing since the day my parents returning to Malaysia.

I must admit that i have grown fond to this place, not because of the environment and people here, but the days my companions and i struggled and underwent to strive for success. I cherish every precious moment, though there were misunderstanding and conflicts, which sometimes had made me to counterattack against them.

Some places kept leading me to a series of flashbacks, all the laughs and tears were just a glance of eyes from past. When it comes to the term called appreciation, i will truly understand it only if i lose it. Izzit the human nature, or izzit my problem and igonarance?

I will remember every moment, no matter happy or sad. It made an important lesson, which has taught me to become more mature and manly.

Life

Fickle life, there are always ups and downs in our life, just like the waves, never ever get serene at a moment. We could not predict what will happen tomorrow and everything just seem so capricious and untouchable. Why dont we just live to the fullnest and maximum everyday as tomorrow is another new day to start off?

Definitely, putting words into deeds is never easy. Daily routine will get u insane sometimes and pressure from upper levels will defeats you utterly, till you could not breathe easily. It is life, i mean, this is the way you have to follow and tackle if u are in the society, the cruel and competitive society. I will not deny that the fittest survives.

Sometimes, we might be too obsessed by the earthly desires and be preoccupied with materialism. Who in earth does not want to live in comfort?live in affluence? To some extent, it is very true to say so provided that the importance of human relationship comes before money. Always cherish your family members and don't be indifferent to them. Never ever leave them alone even you are in troubles and pressure.

It is contradictory yet troublesome sometimes. So, we have to balance up everything to get the equilibrium of life. Always take an optimistic view and think about your family first before you do something naive. Life, that's life!

C'est La Vie.
