Uncivilized

Following the steps of development of the technology in this 21th century, everyone has the right to carry an iPhone 6 plus in one hand and a Michael Kors handbag in another hand, walking on the New York street gorgeously. With the Rolex watch and the Prada garments, you're perfectly right to have all of them with you in this generation. " When in Rome, do as the Romans do." When in a countryside, act like a local villagers, live their life. Take your Nike off, remove the branded watch and run on the green big lawn. Forgetting about where you from, forget about the skyscraper on top of your head everyday, forget about the gigantic buildings, forget about the busy traffic and the noisy honking sound from the vehicles; just remember you're a child of God. Stop screaming and complaining about everything that's happening. Calm down, take in a deep breath of the fresh air, enjoy the melody from the nature, the tone of the wind, the butterflies flying around, the smell of greenery. Yes, you can say that you born to be in city but not town. Nonetheless, sometime, you need to slow down the pace and enjoy the creation of the God. Living under this generation, a century with highly financial demand, don't forget about the things that is more expensive than everything in this world, literally priceless, which is the nature.
Sun rise, sun set, earth is spinning. But every sun rise is different than the others. Wake up once to be the early bird to see this breathtaking scenery which is nicer than a Google image because you watch it with your own eyes.
Be the civilized one, but don't be the servant of technologies and trapped in the world of chips,  illusion and optic fibers. Later, you will topple over by them. The natures are the Google image, your eye is the best camera, and your mouth are the most powerful microphone. Make friend with the chickens and cows, dare to put your hands in the seawater and let your legs to be in the mud; things will be slightly different.
Here are some photos taken at Sarawak, Malaysia throughout these few days.

Grateful

If you read the last post which was month ago, there's a mood swing in my soul. Knowing how much I need and love my parents, I take all my words back but I won't delete the post as it will be a reminder for me not to do something like that again. I know how much my parent are paying off to secure my life, to give me the best they can. They are my pillar of strength. Although they didn't mention a single words about how hard or how not well their life is, I can feel the tension of them. 

I'm a girl who like to travel, like to take photo, as they declared. I thought I'm quite a sensible child, but sometime I feel like I am thinking way too over than reality should be. I ask for an ocean when my parents are trying so hard to give me a rive full of fishes. I ask for a personal helicopter when my parents are putting they head together to get me a car. I reminded myself again and again to cherish whatever I have, don't ask for more when I already have the best from my daddy and mummy. Yet, I can't do it. Something that I have to learn from my brother is he never ask or required a single thing from parent during a shopping day nor his birthday. He was still doing fine without all the glamorous and pricy stuffs. "Don't set a limit, it will limit you. But set a limit so that you won't go over the limit and regret later."

I booked a ticket to Korea couple of months ago when I'm doing my final. Feeling over excited for the first Korea trip, and now it calls a halt due to the terrifying MERS problem at the country. Daddy give me an option to choose another county that I would like to travel to. I told them I want to go Taiwan because I am familiar with the country since that I have been there quite a few time before this. In their mind, I am still like a little girl with my nappy, they will never putting their heart down to let me travel alone. During a dinner time with family, I just create a topic that my college friend is traveling to Australia during the date I am going to Korea. Without further ado, they replied balmily. 

" Why not you go Australia with your friend." 

I promise them I will take a lot of photos along the journey for them. 

With their souls and wishes, I will step on this kangaroo country in five days time. 
 
Parents, thanks for letting me to travel with my friend to this country which is 8 hours flight away from Malaysia. Thanks for the straightforward agreement for me to go there without checking how expensive the flight ticket was. Thanks for placing me there when you know that the expenses there will be an immense one. 

I am greedy, one side of me tell me to cherish whatever I have now, to not putting on parents' financial burden, to not get something better that my parents never experience before, but the evil side of me tells me to go ahead with my plan. I slap myself to wake me up, from this dream, but fortunately my parents shake me in a more dreamy wonderland. Thanks for all your toleration to my nonsense demands.

I promise that, I the coming future, I will let you, my parents, to travel without worry, like what I have now.
