For Humanity

How can we live LIFE not thinking about Humanity. If a lost child or a baby cries, I am sure at least 1 Woman will turn her ear or face to that child. Why, because it is Humanity. If you do realize, I am changing. My heart cries for Humanity. Those of you who knows me well, Europe is my dream but each day I carry this weight of Humanity living in not a good condition is troubling me. I was on World Vision Website. I virtually went to Uganda. I did not get my passport stamp. I was on a flash player seeing how children live, having to become child soldier. Honestly, I close the flash player after 10 minutes watching. I got goosebumps and it’s heart breaking to see children living in Poverty and etc. I cried for this children. I was so moved that I took one minute of silence for them. Looking at my case, I think I am really fortunate to have my parents blessings, but these children deserves more blessing then me. Now the though wanting for me to go to Europe is fading as a dream but this dream that I am willing to let go for humanity might just be a child’s hope and dream for a better future. Writing this, I remember the rules of Christ is to take care of the homeless people and orphanage. Honestly, I don’t mind giving my life to this. What bring me joy. Joy does not come when you have heaps of money. But having money that much gives you trouble but to me doing something for Humanity is joy that I carry to my grave. I am definitely going to finish my studies, continue going to Uni and at my spare time, I want to do humanity work. I am actually started. Starbucks is working together with humanity bodies. We commit to Origins coffee category that includes shade grown organic (Fair Trade) Cafe Estima is favourite coffee bean and also it is a fair trade coffee. As a Company we pratice C.A.F.E. (Coffee And Farmer Equity). Not bad for a start. I just SAY YES to Free Healthcare in Africa. Say Yes for Children is a Global Movement for Children that consists of BRAC, Netaid Foundation, Plan International, Save The Children, UNICEF and World Vision. My Pledge to Say Yes was ” I will Say Yes to Children as I do My Part as I was once A Child. ” I am also part of Making Poverty History. I will doing my part for Humanity with the Love of Christ. I want to die knowing that I have made a mark and history in my life and in the lives of others.

Take Pause

This post is much related to the post below. After an hour and half of reading. I lie on my bed with my iPod to take my eyes of the screen. I ponder upon the poster on my table. I have no doubt taking my company’s poster. Actually I took the poster because it looks good but I never though that poster would influence my life. The word that I was looking is  ” Take Pause” . I never knew how important the word Pause is. I think society seem to overlook the word Pause. If you understand the meaning of Pause, it actually do you more good than harm. I took time to reflect my day, reading and my life. I am happy that I took the poster back. Sometimes you take things back because it looks good but never occur that it  has a deeper meaning that the fact it looks good. The poster has a literal and figurative side. I managed to discover both. Each morning and night, I look at the poster and learn the 5 alphabet that makes a powerful word. I took a picture of the poster and it is now my wallpaper on my mobile phone. When I feel terrible or just lost, I look at my wall paper. Pause Eastlyn and Think Clearly.

So, now the Question to ask yourself is ” Have you pause to wonder, ponder, reflect and etc ? “

Mac is such a pleasure

I enjoy reading. I like to read with big fonts. I don’t want to stress my eyes as I am having dry eyes. I can’t do much when reading a book. The most I can do is to use my glasses but not magnify. Now I am truly loving my Mac. There are many reason why I am loving it but the absolute reason is because I read online news, literature, fiction and non fiction books online and what makes it a pleasure on a Mac is that I can magnify it. I can magnify anything. A page from a website, a document from Mac, a pdf. You name it. I spend most of my time magnifying everything. Hold down Control and scroll the mouse either up and down. I have been reading an article on Changing Malaysia. It inspires me. Much article is about related to global issues, economics, oil prices jacking, politics. I find myself so engross reading it. I started reading at 6 pm and the I took a rest at 8.45 pm and let me tell you, I am not done with the article. There is more to read. These article are inspired reading, widening mind, changing stereotype thinking and etc. 

Here, I am wondering what would my pleasure of reading be without a Mac that could magnify. Thank You.

Tune – Sound – Song

A guy told me that it takes 2 notes in a music chord or scale to produce a good tune.

 I quoted ” A single note is not a tune until it is matched with another note and it turns to a sound. Complementing notes helps that sound to turn into a song”

I wrote this quote for my parents as they will be celebrating their 27th wedding anniversary  in a couple of days time. Each of them was a note on a music chord. One note found another note and they sailed on a route called courtship which is s sound. Years passed by and they decided to tie the not. That was when they embark in journey of a song called “Marriage”

To Mr and Mrs Jerry Wee ( Papa and Mummy), 

Happy 27th Wedding Anniversary.

Love and Hugs from Sydney,

Eastlyn Wee

My favorite football team

Have you ever watch the Brazilian Soccer Team playing football. They are my favorite team and then comes England, France and Italy. When mention Brazil ? What comes to your mind either then Gisele and Brazilian Wax. Of course Football ! Honestly, I love Football. I watch it weekly back in M’Sia. But not in Australia. Brazil – The word that sums up the best of Football. It stands for artistry, inspiration and geniuses for the combination of subline of individual skill and a collective fluidity that is both beautiful to watch and devastatingly successful. The country has produced legends and still producing talented players. Ronaldo, Ronaldino, Kaka are just one of them. Football in Brazil is a National Identity and a religion. The game brings the nation together. Hence, in another word, everything is about football. Despite losing to Uruguay in 1950’s, their losing was viewed as a National Tragedy. They lack themselves down through personal weakness and that led them to launch a comprehensive preparation and innovative tactics as crucial to success. Some people say Football is the answer to Life’s Solution for Brazil from escaping crippling poverty. 

The way I see it is, because of them losing to Uruguay in the 1950’s, made them to be where they are now. They stick to their fundamental (ABC’s), When they have their fundamental rooted at the right places, they are able to create a beautiful game. Their biggest win is 14-0 against Nicaragua. Their biggest defeat is 0-6 against Uruguay. ( I remember watching this while my partner and I were on break and he is from Uruguay). Fifa years was 1958, 1962, 1970, 1194 and 2002 ( I saw the finals for 1994 & 2002). I clearly remember the scene when watching the 2002 Korean – Japan World Cup. I was with my cousin watching. I was damn wild. I was like jumping on the couch for the 2 goals and just jumping when the team was holding the Cup. I really want to watch that game. I watch the 2 goals Brazil scored on youtube. I want to see the match. The complete 90 minutes. I miss the time where my friends and I who are mostly guys crash one of our houses and watch English Premier League. I told them, don’t bother calling me for a game with Sunderland and Everton but yes on Liverpool with Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea or Tottenham ! I am Brazil and Liverpool FC Fan. 

Indeed Football is a ” Jogo Bonito” ( The Beautiful Game)

I woke up with a funny feeling. I was having headache yesterday night and this morning I realized the headache is still there. I got up anyway. I stared at my window looking at the cloudy and mundane weather. I was on my iMac listening to 2 songs which always know that He is my rescue and none but Him. Its not a rock with heavy bass to start the day but its really meaningful to me. Meaning as the story. I was coming back from the suburbs to the city. I was very tired. Physically tired. I was on my iPod listening to Come to the Rescue. I was telling God that, I am so tired. If I can only worship you now and feel me. Then I heard, you can worship Me anywhere. Therefore, I decided as I was really tired. I was walking with my eyes closed and my mind was focus on God. Yes, I still got tired. I came back home. Sitting on my chair and just connecting myself with God. There is no greater joy in human connecting to the Source. I still can’t find peace. I lie down on the floor with my hands thrown apart and worshiping God. I found peace. It was as though my soul had found food. I prayed and I went to bed. This morning, thoughts were asking of me when I want to continue my reading. I would like to have a home with a library of non fiction, leadership, management, parenting, self help and inspiration. Jane Austen said ” A house is not complete with a library” Then these thoughts came into my mind Maturity, Savings, Marriage, Relationships and etc. Maturity, It is something constantly developing. To be matured, its not going around telling people you want to be mature and do nothing more nothing less. To me being mature is all about reading. Reading builds knowledge and knowledge is power, combine with these, you will get matured. Reading shapes your mind. Build on your social or circle of friends who are more mature. Listening more and less speaking. Watch and think. I like the idea of marriage but at times its just scaring. My both grandparents had lifelong marriages till one parted. ( A chronicle of human life and times). Look at the divorce rate in the US and almost anywhere. Honestly, I don’t mind going solo. It might sound to you that I am turning to a yuppie. No. I am not turning into one. There is benefit going solo just as in getting together. At this moment of my life, I am happy going solo. People like Sandra Bullock, Cameron Diaz, Meryl Streer, Drew Barrymore. 

” The median age of marriage in Australia women has risen to 29.7 % up from 26.8 % a decade ago ad even more  are choosing to ditch the idea of marriage altogether. “

I don’t think human are monogamous creatures by nature. You have to put a lot of effort in relationship – Scarlett Johannson. 

Well, I believe if you single or married. You should be happy with your status. I am off to start my day. 

Happy Independence Day Malaysia !. 51 years and still counting. Here I am wondering when I will I be back to celebrate my country’s independence day. Which year and etc.

Aku Bangga Menjadi Anak Malaysia !

I just came back from church and M Fest ! I actually did not want to go. No regrets for going. This morning, I had the thought of Maturity and the message at church was about Maturity. How true I felt. The title of the sermon was ” What does it mean to be mature” ? The message was good. It was like directed to me. Everything suddenly makes sense. Maturity is how you live life. Maturity is the understanding to have a beautiful life. Fundamental are the rocks to live life, becoming mature with fundamental makes life beautiful and bountiful. 

Ah, after much writing. Here I am eating my 10 sticks of Satay and ketupat in duduk bersila style (cross legged). I had to que for 40 minutes because my friends had theirs and chilling and me having to stand the que. After 40 minutes, I am at the register to take my order, I ordered 10 sticks. (In the menu it says 7 sticks for Aud 10). I still went to 10 sticks. I waited for my satay. I waited for 20 minutes and I paid Aud 10. I was really happy. So its either I paid Aud 10 for 10 sticks which is $ 1 for each stick or I had 3 free sticks. Not bad for which ever it was ! I went back to our hanging area and my friends were asking me how much, I said $10. They were like, are you sure.. I was like YEAH ! They were like, this is so Far Out . ! Sorry Guys !. I did not eat there as it was pretty messy with all the ” Kuah Kacang”. I stared at a guy and I was like, I know this guy. I decided to walk to him and I was like, Hey, I know you .. and he was like, I know you too…, classmates from college days doing Pre-Uni and the days we had when there was still Min Tien in SS 15. He is here for holidays. Me in M-Fest was good as I catch up with fellow countrymen who is in Sydney which we have not seen for a year despite we are all in Sydney.  Overall, I enjoyed my Independence Day here.

A day that I can’t forget. It was just a day that I was enjoying nature and hanging out with one of my close friend. The day begin with me wanting to go to Bondi to take a picture of my name carved on Bondi Cliff. Of course, before going there, I dropped at my store, get a bite to keep my stomach full as there is no shops or convenience store near there. I clearly remember the spot where I stood but I took me time to find my name. I went up and down. Finally I knew it. It was at the edge of the cliff. I hit me that I sat there. There was a story to the trip that Jake and I went there. I do not know what we were doing in the wee hours of the morning but around 4 am plus, we decided to watch sunrise. We left around 5 am to Hyde Park and waited for a 380 bus. Half way in the bus, I was having headache. I did not tell him. I decided not to spoil the morning. So we came down from the bus and walk to the spot where we usually see sunrise. I don’t know about him but I was struggling as much as I was enjoying to see the sunrise. Then we decided to scrape our name on the stones. Finally after much silence, I told Jake that I need to go because I am not feeling well. I was really controlling and try not to nauseate. We left without completing his alphabet E . I wanted to complete but time was not on my side. A gentlemen came by to check what I was doing. He took a picture of me. Ha ha. I stood in silence listening to the sound of wind and wave. I feel relaxed and have tranquillity. All of a sudden, memories of Jake and I while we were friends and beyond came to my mind. I was walking down my memory lane. I left and headed to a bus stop. Was on the phone with my girlfriend. Sharing our life journeys and what have we been doing these days. Later, still on the bus, a call from my close friend on where to meet. We met in the city. We went Hay Street for lunch. Japanese (Ramen Kan). We were each other’s crying shoulder and listening ear to whatever our problem was. Half way of what we were doing, I was taken back to 1999 because the shop was playing a Japanese song. I heard this song for the first time when I was in Nagoya (Lions M’sia Youth Exchange to Japan). I remember the title of the song. I paused and headed to the counter to enquire who the singer was. While waiting for my answer, I ponder upon that time. I was in a Subaru ( it was a sports car) with my japanese brother. He is a car fan. We were on the way to Nagoya Palace and he said everytime listening to this song, it reminds him of his ex. They both did not want to part. I asked him the translation of this song but he could not  figure it out. He said, when you can find the translation, you will understand and if you do break up then you will know how deep the lyrics is. The deepness is not as deep as in Japanese comparing to English translation. Finally, the waiter came back with the artist. I am so happy. I accompanied my friend to UTS for her IELTS – Speaking test. While waiting for her to complete her test, I was reading a non-fiction book, Starbucks Experience (The National Experience. 5 principles for turning ordinary to extraordinary). It is a business management thing. She said she *f it out. I said no way. It just so far out ! We took a bus to QVB for a drink. Even in the bus we shared and we continued to share while we were spilling our drinks. We called the day an end at 6 pm plus. I feel so sad, with empathy and sympathy for her as she has no classmates in her class and she is alone. I cherish you. We have each other ok !

     

Love. It inspires me.

Love is the secret place where you have regard for yourself. From there and only there can someone else wrap their arms around you and ask no more from you and offer no less. Our need to love and be in love is not only our right but it is inherent to be a human being. One of the oldest human need is to wonder where you are when you don’t come back home at night. Love requires us to love each other. Not because we have been ask but because we can. Love requires us to be honest with each other and promise first to ourselves, never to lie to each other out of the fear of being alone. Love requires us to guard each other’s solitude and the sanity of solitude in a relationship. Love requires us to remember the following in love is very different from landing and to be there to catch each other because we all fall, because we all fail, because we are all frail. We all need to be loved. Love is not contradictory but a happy marriage of contradictions. The opposite of love is not hate but is indifference. In love, is what makes the different in our lives. The path  to loving one another begins with loving ourselves. This is ground zero. None of us can wrap around the world till we are prepared to give ourselves a hug. Loving ourselves doesn’t mean, loving everything that we do, Love is a chance to play live forward. Love is a garden. As you sew, you will reap. Plant pride, reap anger. Plant humility, breed laughter. 

Daring to love, be loved is life. Most noble adventure. Working on ourselves is life’s labour. Make it a labour of love in your life.

# I decided to share this article. It was written by Noah benShea

Grow up !

I was talking to Joe over msn on a day. I said, I like his msn nick. He did that quote. I love quotations.  It makes me think, wonder and reflect. Then he shared with me this phrase / quote that really got me thinking for minutes. The thought of it, was a thought on my mind.

 ” Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up.”

Minutes after that he ask me ” Have you grow up ? “ 

After much minutes to myself, I answered. ” Yes, I did but its a a constant ongoing process. “ 

” Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what’s to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been and look ahead to what would be. Other days, New days and days to come. The thing is, we didn’t have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive each other for growing up. The best is yet to come “
