Yesterday was a tiring day when i went up to taipei to meet QF. Luckily, HS went with me else I would be very bored and sick during the journey.
QF's hair has grown to a very very lengthy stage. She looks like a model now but well, with a slightly big bottom. As usual, she is still very 38 but I do enjoy her company. The world is so small. QF and HS actually knew each other. Not surprising since both were from NTU. I am glad HS doesn't feel funny or awkward. We had a not-so-good tea in a vegetarian restaurant and went to the busy street of taipei. QF was looking for a pair of boots. But she still didn't buy any.
Times flies. I have known QF for 15+ years. It is been a long time yet like yesterday. We drifted apart after our sec days and though we seldom met, the special feeling is still there. We were the best of friends and well, we would still be. Together with SM, probably DL. DL is not so close to me though. :P but for QF's seek, I would consider him as part of us.
I guess, those were the times which you would find really good friends. I am glad I am back to school again. Probably, I didn't have enough of those fun days and coming back to have more. It is not the quantity of friends that matters, it is the quality. I am glad I have found some here.
Sigh.. time to go to study. :( Write next time!

Jiaoxi's 1/2 day trip
Yesterday, HS and I decided to go to Jiaoxi's wenquan to do some "soaking" in the mineral water and helped some classmates to buy some stuff. I was eager to go as once again i can use my swimming suit. But our poor HS, kekekeke, had problem finding hers. Anyway, we still went. The lady gave us a smaller room this round but the tub is good for two. We were soaking nicely in the water, then we found some hairs... EEK!!!! The hair was long and didn't belong to us. My goodness... Yucks.. but well, we still continued to soak. HS went and played with the scoop spoon (dunno how to call it) and sang in an out-of-tune tune on something. As usual, i was daydreaming...
Bathing was a fun event. We took our turns to bath but as we were both cheeky, we distrubed each other when bathing.
Then, we went walking around the premise of Jiaoxi. We went to Mac to eat fries, went into some shops to see the local food. HS was like a kid while as usual i went out and take a breather.
our conversation at the mac was so heart-warming. We shared our past. Btw, i seldom shared it. I guess we both felt glad to find each other as close bosom friends who have the same wish to attain. Just like my sis and Mag.
I wanted to take the small road to see what it brought us to. HS was accomodating. We went and saw the locals living in not-so-good houses and the kids were playing the primitive games. This makes me remember the days in the kampong even though i was three. I somehow remembered i played with mud before as well.
Eating smelly tofu becomes our common hobby now. though I didn't really like the one selling in jiaoxi but that's the only choice.
The evening ended with the "impromptu" activity we had @ the huiguan. We were having dinner then found out that there was an activity by the FGS youths. Or at least I finally was aware. HS was telling me but I wasn't actually catching her point last time. hahaha. She had quite some fun i guess. For me, I was "accompanying the prince to study". Probably i dont find it interesting to play group games and I feel old.. :~(
As usual, my motion sickness came when I return to school. Fell died on the bed after reaching home.

Bringing the sick to see doc
yesterday, SF and I brought the injured fellows to see the chinese doc again. YW once again, was the noisiest among the all. She was sobbing and crying that she felt painful. SY was very strong, she was able to withstand the strength of the doc and was only yelling for part of the moment. Of course, our hero of the day was HS. She was forcing to smile whenever my camera shot at her. They are so poor things. When I see them in pain, I feel that what the Ven. MJ was right - we won't be able to understand what they are going through. No one can understand anyone.
I hope to help them in a way or another but YW was really too stubborn, insisting that and this. Eventually, I have to show an angry face to make sure she was obedient - I guess bodhisattva needs to show some fiercy figures to some sentient beings. This makes me think that probably, when guanyin was helping the sentient beings, she may also turn into violent or fierce forms to ensure the beings learn.
The return trip was horrible. The school bus went to Yilan first and then go back to school. I was really at the verge of vomitting. I felt terrible when we were walking up the slope to our dormitory. Gosh, I was trying to puke during this journey. Actually I felt bad, I was supposed to take care of the sickly and in the end, HS was patting my back to see if i was ok. :(
Of course, I got a little "reminder" from ven. MG when i went to sign off our sign-in and out list. :( We didn't know the bus was going to Yilan, if we know it, we would take the cab which enables us to reach earlier.
Well, this once again, tells that there is "if we know earlier". If we all have that ability, we won't be here as such poor sentient beings to be wandering in the six realms of suffering.
Time flies. One month has passed safely. I begin to wonder why I am here again - reconfirming my choice. I guess sometimes, I need to be reminded why I so-called gave up the "bright" career and lifestyle. I like this kind of life - worries are all about simple things - meal, sleep and homework. Hopefully, sooner or later, I would begin to turn more worries and trouble into bodhi. Well, I have finally understood the saying "天下本无事，庸人自擾之”.

Virus Scanning
emm, never know that I will spend my saturday afternoon like this. :( Hee... Ven YD caught hold of me a few days ago to help her to update the virus scan file. I thought it would be an easy job and thus agreed to meet her on weekend to do. Sigh, I didn't know her laptop is infected with viruses and not just one but a few. I am now spending my time to scan and repair for her.
Actually, I tot ven YD is a very fierce person but in the contrasy, She is a very nice venerable, I realised. Knowing I am bored waiting to scan the virus, setting up the network (her wireless is unstable like mine), she shared a powerpoint presentation with me telling me how to do surveys for research purposes.
I didn't know some teams can really find time to do surveying and publish it. I am really impressed but I don't think I can do such surveys - no strength, no time.
Also saw YY's article, so proud of her to be able to write out her feelings and thoughts. Well, I see that she is a very fortunate person, like what Ven. MS said, not everyone knows his or her weaknesses. I think she is very fortunate to find them and to overcome them. Everyone of us is in the stage of recovering our true "self" but everyone has blind spots.
To tell someone sincerely his/her blind spot is to help; but to really help oneself, there is no other person than oneself. :)
Sometimes, we really spend too much time chasing the wrong things in life. These things are impermanent - cause pain when you lose it. We didn't know what we are chasing until the very last breath. What we lose, we have lost. I guess it is time to pick up from where we fall and move on. Life is not just about the wrong things. Bad experience makes us grow, while the good one may not be good. Friends are not really friends; foes are not really foes.
Maybe, having virus is also a good thing. It would teach us to be cautious while downloading things from forwarders. Can the virus scan be quicker... there is 4 hours plus to go :( :( :(
