Im left with so little time to do many things :)
School is going to start with our mid year exams :(


Anyway, along with my Mum, i watched a television programme on Channel 8.
Its about urban chefs going to the rural areas to cook for the villagers there.
Not only that, The chef must work in exchange for the food resources he needed to prepare for the meal. Just a simple meal, yet so much sweat, tears and blood.

With my own eyes, I actually saw the sincerity from the villagers, although I didnt experience it myself. Those type of warmth that cannot be found in our fast-paced and competitive society where people have to fight, using different kinds of methods, in order to survive in this harsh world. However, people there just wanted others to be happy. They are also contented with little and simple things that people like us, took it for granted.

Eating crops that are home-grown, helping each other like they are a big family, though they are living in a impoverished area, but their attitude and mindset are what we should really learn from.

After watching the show, I started to think;
If I ever attain the goal that Ive been working hard for,
I hope that I can also visit these rural areas to help them,
most importantly, to get a feel of what love between humanity should really be like.
Not saying that i Don't, cause my bubu really loves me and I love her too :)

People in the developed countries may have the wealth, the technology, but I feel that they are always living in numerous and constant fears; fear of losing, fear of being scolded, fear of being replaced, fear of people using unorthodox methods etc. Unlike the villagers with low standard of living, they are able to have the feeling of what real happiness is.
Even only eating plain rice can also be a joy to them as long as their family is with them.



If I ever reach my goal,
Wait for me, people.





see ya :)
