Australia New Zealand Buddhist Youth Camp 2012 *Day 1*

Australia New Zealand Buddhist Youth Camp 2012 was held in Perth.
I actually can't remember the first time I got to know about this camp. If I am not mistaken, I saw my friend, Fiona share it on Facebook. Then, my brother and I went to the Fo Guang Shan Temple at Maylands on Buddha's Birthday. And I saw the posters again. Discussed with my brother. And decided to go..

So, on the 6th of July, I took Red Cat down to City Hall then took bus 55 to go to the temples. ^^
It was easy though. The bus stop is just right opposite the temple. Registration progresses. Then there's tour around the temple. I went around then back to the Main Shrine to rest. I was too tired after packing things and unpack things and packing again for the camp. No spirit at all.. I think I missed a lot of things, due to that. Opening ceremony, then we get to do our own bracelet and then Lunch. My first ever vegetarian lunch I guess, the food are so delicious. After lunch rest again. LoL. Too tired dy.. Then after a while heard that the bus has arrived. So, took my bag and move towards the bus according to group. The groups are Dhaka, Kuranga, Garuda, Saphara, Nagaa and Vyolla. Hope I didn't get the spellings wrong. I'm in the team of Kuranga, which means the horn of the deer, on dragon.

I slept all the way until Fairbridge Village. As I said, over-exhausted. Can't even enjoy the pretty scenery along the way. I did wake up on the way, and saw horses, cows... and fall back asleep easily. By the time we reached the Village is already almost 4pm. Yes, it's almost 4pm. Then put our bags into the cottages designated. The cottages that we used are Nelson, Kitchener, Cook, Shakespeares? and Glassglow. Hoping no wrong spellings.. Lol.. I was in Cook. Met our cottage leader, Eva. My roommate, Adelyn.. Next door, Megan and Shirley as well as the friend of our cottage leader, Meiyu..

Right after that, we walked to the gym for the first activity. We were asked to grouped together with the activity team. And being introduced about the Dragon Calls by the White Dragon (Loong - President of YADWA) and his committee members and the Journey to the West. ^^ The theme of the camp is " Together as One". We get to introduced to our team members by playing a pretty nice game.. LoL.. Then a game that I don't remember the name of it. But it's that when the music stopped, 2 ppl form a house shape and 1 sitting in the middle. Was fun, but got kick out very fast.. =.=" LoL

After the evening chanting, will be our first meal in the village. The dinner is called the Silent Dinner, whereby everyone had to be silent and also no sounds made from the cutlery and the plates. It was good because in my everyday life, my dinner would have a lot of chit chatting within the dining hall. I found that Silent Dinner, let me actually concentrate on chewing and tasting the food, which I think I never did that before.

Later that night, there are performances from different states representatives and theme song dance learning session. It was fun to watch the representatives presentation. I didn't get the chance to record anything down. *Too Bad!! =(* This is due to my mobile phone's lousy battery.. Only half day, the phone was about to die due to insufficient of battery life.. zzzZZzz... After the presentations, we were taught to dance and battle. =.=" Alright. After supper, we went back to dorms to tidy ourselves up and get ready to bed.

That's most of it for the First Day at ANZBYC 2012..

Stay tuned for photos and the remaining of the days... =)

天蝎座不为人知的天性 (taken from Facebook)

天蝎座——黄道宫上的第八个星座，主宰星为火星和冥王星。能量强大，精力旺盛，有强烈责任感、韧性强、黑白分明、意志力强、支配欲强烈，对于生命的奥秘有独特的见解。他们的城府颇深，待人处事非常冷静理性，不苟言笑，有着强烈的第六感，以及神秘的吸引力。虽然有着敏锐的观察力，但往往仍靠感觉来决定一切。 


强烈深沉的天蝎座 


天蝎座冷静，甚至冷酷，冷冷的脸孔让人有深不可测的感觉。他们外表低调、清冷，实则企图心旺盛，内心有强烈的欲望呼之欲出，冰冷的铁面具下面藏着一颗火热的心。也因为他们的深沉寡言，让周围的人感觉不舒服、有阴冷之感，身边的人都对他们敬而远之。但是，不得不承认，只要是他们想要做的、想要得到的，就没有他们征服不了的。他们外冷内热，内心有一股强烈的欲望，不鸣则已，一鸣惊人。 


神秘莫测的天蝎座 


诞生于深秋的天蝎是神秘复杂的，从他们不温不火的表情中，你无法探知他们的内心世界。他们给人蒙蒙胧胧、高深莫测的印象，让人对他们有敬畏，也有几分看不透。他们清高、孤傲，但热情喷涌的那一刻，却能让人强烈感受到他们的炽热情感。一冷一热的交迭，让周围的人有强烈的刺激感，而他们自己却不自觉，一切源于本性。而他们身上所散发出来的强烈的神秘感，魅力在不知不觉中彰显，深深地吸引着周围的人。 


刚强坚韧的天蝎座 


天蝎座的人执着、刚强，不轻易受到周围人的影响，更不会被世俗、教条所束缚。他们一旦有了想法与目标，就会以自己的方式不停追逐，即使不被周围人接受，也会一如既往地坚定信念，坚持走自己的路，撇下周围人的众说纷纭。他们并不是很在意结果，只是很享受追求的过程，完全投入的快感。失败也不会让他们太消沉，依然刚强坚毅，很快调整心态，再次找寻目标，拼尽全力。 


明察秋毫的天蝎座 


天蝎座的内心深不可测，却能轻易探知他人的心思，好似掌握了读心术，让人惊讶于他们的洞察力。他们直觉敏锐，有着超强的观察分析力，以静默的态度看人观物，对于身边人的心思了如指掌，似乎有预知事态发展的能力。并不是他们有多了不起，只是他们遇人遇事都喜欢思考，探究深层的东西，不会被表面现象所蒙蔽。虽然他们天生就具有很强的推理分析力，但他们依然很喜欢凭直觉行事。 


见解独特的天蝎座 


天蝎座城府极深，好奇心强，很有眼光，他们天生就对人性、生命的奥秘具有浓厚的兴趣，对人对事有自己独特的见解。他们不畏强权，不怕困难，更不会向任何人屈服，非常自我、独立。他们不轻易与人交流，喜欢用行动来证明一切。他们也不太喜欢热闹，与其与众人东拉西扯，不如一个人呆在角落默默观察，把周围人的一言一行尽收眼底，在令人出其不意的时候一语道破情势，秀出自己别具一格的见解。

No One Is Perfect.

No one is perfect.

Yeah~ This is one of the quotes we have learnt from everything.

Well. As above ' No one is perfect. '
I know I am not perfect, but somehow I am perfectionist, which is not a good personality. I want everything to be in the best conditions. Studies, sports, etc etc etc.

I realized that I am such a perfectionist when I was told by one of my ex lecturer.

During college years, unlike some of the people having the freedom to actually choose their favourite course, I were given only a few choices, which in the end I picked Civil Engineering. I focused a lot on studies and yes, getting to know new people. My lecturer who left our college to other places to work, gave me that advice that not everyone is perfect. Sometimes, we have to bear with what the outcome is.

Since then, I noticed that, I wanted everything to be done appropriately. I hoped by now, I have taken the advice from my dear lecturer. Although I know my results now in uni were not the kind of results that I would have wanted, I accept and value them. And strive harder the next semester.

Other than that, I'm a person who is in socializing. I loved to be listener as most of my besties, who trust me would know that. I am not a good joker. I may not be the fun person among the groups. I laughed at everyone's jokes, even sometimes it's lame. I tried to tolerate with people. I don't like being late, although I sometimes late, but what I would do if I am late, I would either inform earlier or apologizes.

Sometimes, I am angry/ upset, I would try to hide but not every time. I don't have the smiley face everyday on my face. Even I don't smile, it doesn't mean that I'm angry or anything that is negative.

I will be good to anyone, as long as that one person doesn't stab me from the back. You don't like me, speak it in front of me. I'm not good in speaking. I may say the wrong things that upset you, speak in front of me, and I will apologize.

Sometimes, me being quiet is to avoid saying the wrong things hurting people. Because of that, I try not to talk much. People would think I am rude, but I got no choice. I hate hurting people while I didn't even notice that I did.

People out there, I like sports. I may not achieve excellent results in doing sports because everything I know is so called half-pail of water. Half way done. I continue to learn.

People, if you got anything to say about me, please come straight to me. Thank you.

Holidays after exams~

Holidays~ Yeah~ It's the best word ever.
The period that you don't have to think of work, studies, assignments, etc..

It's been fun for the past 10 days or so... Been spending a lot of time with my fellow friends. ^^
