梦游记

Life is Dream Walking; I dream Walking in my LIFE^^

Memorable Dizigui level1 6-12 September 2010

We went to KL first before we headed to Chung Hua cultural Education Centre at Selangor. Our trip at KL was very rushed. Our flight delayed so we reached there late at about 9pm something. Then we went for our dinner + supper. After that we shopped around and able to get some souvenirs. After that, we went back to our hotel and waited for the next day to come! The next morning,after we had our breakfast, we went to Sungai Wang, Time Square.We were like ‘seeing flowers when riding a horse.” Hahaha. That was funny! At around 2pm, we headed to the place where the course was held.
It was a one week course hold in Selangor, from 6th to 12th September 2010. When I first reached there, I was totally amazed! Hahaha. The scenery is extremely beautiful that I thought I was somewhere out of the world! And my first impression to those volunteer staffs there were: OMG! So polite! Hahaha
For the first day, we were given some notes and books. We were like baby, learnt from the basis, from sitting, standing, sleeping, and eating to greeting. It was so surprise the habits we did everyday are so wrong!
Our first class was given by Mr. Lee, I remembered some quotes he said which I think is very true:
1. We always ignore the minor habits, but it is these things that make us ungentle.
2. Do things for sincerity, not for formality.
Yes, we should do everything from our heart.
After the dinner, we had an introduction session. Everyone had to introduce themselves on the stage. It was so call ‘ice breaking session’. Wow! It was cool as I could make friends with different backgrounds and countries!
On the second day, we gathered at 6.30 am and then matched down to ground floor to do an exercise that they called it “8 duan jing”.
After the breakfast, we went for our classes again. Due to the packed schedule, we did not have much break, and seriously it was tiring!
One of the teacher, Teacher song who gave us talks on Chinese Culture, said, ”the whole world can betray you, but you cannot betray anyone.”
I love this quote so much! Hahaha
Then , we learnt about Chinese characters. I found some characters were really interesting when she gave some examples like ‘忍’( a blade put on the heart) and ‘卡’´which is the combination of ‘上’ and ‘ 下’ . Some more as different dialects has different pronounciation of the character, it might be misinterpreting. For instances, try to read this: ‘吃晒巨’ in Cantonese and in Hokkien. Hahaha.
At night we watched a Korean movie, ‘The Way Home’. It was about how a dumb grandma changed her stubborn naughty grandson throughout the days they lived together. At the end of the movie, the self-centred naughty grandson began to change and love his grandma. It was so touching and I wish I can share it with my friends someday.
Besides, we also had singing session which we learnt to sing and practice sign language. The song we sang included ‘rasa sayang’. Mr. Billi suggested that maybe next time we can learn to sing Hakka song which can interact all the participants! Hahaha it was a great idea! To our dismay, Teacher Huang was going to leave as she had to go to Sibu for another course. All of us felt so upset as she was leaving as we enjoyed the class with her!
The next day, Teacher Lily taught us calligraphy. She explained why we should learnt it. The reasons were to make us concentrate better, purify our mind, be perseverance and it is a foundation for the education too! We also learnt to do lotus from her. It was not tough but I torn my lotus petals.hahaha. We did not have time to continue our Chinese knot learning,and she promised us that we can learn it at Dizigui Level 2.
Later, we had our singing class and lectures from Teacher Song again! They were the most enjoyable classes I love them so much! We watched another movie at night, ‘True Warrior’. In the movie, there was a conversation at the end of the movie:
“where are you?”
“in this moment.”
“When are you?”
“ now.”
… …

Wow! So meaningful but so sorry that I could not recall the last sentence!
Some more!
Dead is not sad, the sad thing is most people did not live at all.”
Stop thinking things outside yourself and start finding inside.”
This is a movie filled of inspirations and motivations.
At the second last day of the course, we were given talk by Teacher Yeo. He is also the one I admired as the talks he given was always so motivated! He motivated us by asking us to shout “challenge!” “ I will do my best!”…and after the course, I could still see some of the course mates shouted these! Hahaha. It seems rooted in our hearts.
And he told us, ‘ tomorrow I will make you cry more.’ OMG! We seem to cry everyday and he wanted to make us cry again at the last day.hahaha. Indeed, he managed to do it with great success!
The last day of course, we were first given a game called “trust fall”. Each of us stood up on a higher place where the other people holding you when you lied down. It really needs courage and a lot of trust! The successful moment of his arrived when we were asked to give 3 goodness of other. I thought I could hold my tears, but when I was the receivers, and even the givers had not finished their sentences, I began to cry and we cried and hugged together. hahaha. We shared a lot of things there. Actually we were given options whether you want to shake hand or hug by playing ‘1 2 zoom’. But then, we did not have to play that and just straight away hugged each other. I remember one of the elderly said, ‘whenever I see you talked on the stage, it makes me feel like want to cry.’ OMG! Hahaha. I did not mean that! Hahaha. Perhaps I have the ability to touch people’s heart? Lalala…
Before the course ended, we had our group presentations. Group 1 acted movie, Group 2 sang songs and gave teachers cards, Group 3 sang ‘You raised me up’ and Li Ting gave some words of appreciation to the teacher and Our group presented a poem. The last program we did was watching the video they made which full of our photos during the course. Alamak! All my photos were crying! And my sister blamed the video maker, ‘ why all my photos were when I was crying?’ hahaha. Anyway, the video made us cried harder as we were going to leave, and the video was the only proof and memory we had there. Hahaha. I found my long-lost-sister, Lisa, at there too. Together we can form MonaLisa. ^^ hahaha. I also found a brother there,which together with my sister we formed ‘闪亮三姐妹’. He was 超级闪; I am 大闪 and my sister is小闪. Hahaha. It was nice! Wow…
This course really gave me so much “AHA!” hahaha.
Before we left,we hugged each other again and reminded them to visit each other! Aha, it was so ‘unleaveable’ and I wanted to stay! hahaha
