LHP 456 was a class that i registered for this semester, it is also known as "Spoken English". Throughout these 16 weeks, every Wednesday and Thursday, was some kind of excited day, where youo couldn't expect what is going to happened in the next class. Frankly speaking, i really love the class environment where classmates never hesitate to raise any question or doubt. There was always a class with laugh, with opinions flying over here and there, and nevertheless, the funny, friendly and kind teacher, Tuan Syed. I am closer to peoples who are in my group, maybe because we meet and talk more often throughout the class. From them, i really do learn something i don't think i will ever learn or realized in the future. If you ask me whether this was stressful class, i would say, yes, for sometime. Most of the time, without lots of assessment, it would really be an enjoyable class and always have something to laugh of.

"Larc en ciel" I have my own sky, a sky with "Larc en ciel". One side of the sky is bright, one side of my sky is covered with grayish cloud. It always depends on which side you are looking at. Standing in between, i wish that i could be the wind, can easily blow thru them. Day will be better, sunnier if you look at the brighter side. But, can i? Am i able to ignore the darker side ?
Below is a very interesting passage about the Free Hugs. Which is something that i'll like to do someday if possible. Hug means a lot to me... It comforts and makes people feel better, the world is a better place to live with hugs. The Free Hugs Campaign is an international kindness initiative, that has spread to over 80 countries around the world, founded on the simple principle of offering a stranger a hug.
The Free Hugs Campaign began on Wednesday June 30th, 2004 in an effort to cheer up one person’s day. Mine.
The Free Hugs Campaign is about many things, like making someone’s day a little brighter, meeting people and showing the world that strangers aren’t so bad after all. It’s also about bringing people together and sharing a happy moment before heading back out into the world feeling a little lighter.
The Free Hugs Campaign is all about people being there for each other.
When you’re feeling sad and alone in the world, it helps to talk to people, to share a laugh with someone, to see someone smile at you, to have somebody wrap their arms around you and reassure you that everything will be alright.
What about those people who don’t have somebody? Whose families live far away? Whose friends just don’t understand?
Once upon a time that was me.
I’d been living in London when my world turned upside down and I’d had to come home. By the time my plane landed back in Sydney, all I had left was a carry on bag full of clothes and a world of troubles. No one to welcome me back, no place to call home. I was a tourist in my hometown.
Standing there in the arrivals terminal, watching other passengers meeting their waiting friends and family, with open arms and smiling faces, hugging and laughing together, I wanted someone out there to be waiting for me. To be happy to see me. To smile at me. To hug me.
So I got some cardboard and a marker and made a sign. I found the busiest pedestrian intersection in the city and held that sign aloft, with the words “Free Hugs” on both sides.
And for 15 minutes, people just stared right through me.The first person who stopped, tapped me on the shoulder and told me how her dog had just died that morning. How that morning had been the one year anniversary of her only daughter dying in a car accident. How what she needed now, when she felt most alone in the world, was a hug. I got down on one knee, we put our arms around each other and when we parted, she was smiling.
Everyone has problems and for sure mine haven’t compared. But to see someone who was once frowning, smile even for a moment, is worth it every time.
A old 5 cents coin, written King George the Sixth on the left picture,(front) and written the words "Commissioners of Currency Malaya 1948 (Left)
I was at La boheme, the bakery in jusco AEON that day, with my brother, picking up some french Croissant and Baguette. When we pay, i saw the cashier return the change to my brother hand with this very special coin. We didn't really care since it is just a 5 cents. When we look at it after we leave there, i found out that it has king George face with crown at the front, and the year is 1949, it means it is a coin in Malaya, before our country independent. Very interesting, since i always have the interest on collecting coins and notes from all over the world, no matter it is new or old, it is usable or already an antique.
Note: King George the Sixth, was the father of Queen Elizabeth II
