A Flying Butterfly
YB Band (Yoon Do Hyun Band), acknowledged as the most popular rock musicians in Korea, is introduced to me by my friend Chong who works in the Chinese buffet restaurant. Had been in love with his rock and roll music lately. This song "A Flying Butterfly" is one of my favourite which has very encouraging meaning of pursuing dreams. Even before I found out the english lyrics, I can feel the positiveness within it.
Looking down this dark faceless road
A larva I`m all alone
Crawling praying to be something new
Breaking through my scars to survive
A pupa I sleep alone
Resting waiting for my wounds to heal
Snowy winter covers the night
But I hold on to dreams inside
When the spring breeze opens the light
Then you`ll Know it`s my time to rise
and fly Spread my wings and fly away
Ride the wind sailing on the world today
Sing a song reach for the sky
Flying butterfly God save me
Fly to flowers searching for love
Away from the spider`s web
Fly to flowers searching for love
Away from the mantis clutch
Fly with me today forever truly
Spread my wings and fly away
Ride the wind sailing on the world today
Sing a song reach for the sky
Flying butterfly God save me
Spread my wings and fly away
Ride the wind sailing on the world today
Sing a song reach for the sky
Flying butterfly God save me
Spread my wings and fly away
Spread my wings and fly away
away away
fly away
Sing a song reach for the sky
Sing a song reach for the sky sky

California - Mindy Gledhill
Have you been to California
Seen the sights and people there
Walked the streets of sleepy sea towns
Tasted salty ocean air
Once I flew to New York City
Took my picture in Time Square
Soho nights and Broadway lights
Such a pity you weren’t there
Pack your bags and lock your door
I’ll take you places you’ve not been before
All I’ve ever wished to do is
Travel through this life with you
Make your way to London, England
Paris, France is also nice
Ooh la la, when people say hello
They kiss your cheeks three times
Chorus
Monte Carlo is awaiting
Bombay intoxicating
The sky in Bora Bora is
The color of your eyes
Chorus

Featured person of the day: Vishen Lakhiani
Creating one of the world’s top online publishing companies was the last thing on Vishen Lakhiani’s mind. At the time he was an up-and-coming meditation instructor and computer engineer in New York, looking for a way to get people into his classes.
He knew posting flyers on sidewalks and approaching individuals would only get him so far. He wanted an efficient solution. Something that would work on autopilot, and reach out to large groups of interested people for him.
It didn’t take Vishen long to realize that solution was the Internet. So using his background in computer engineering, he decided to learn the ins and outs of e-commerce, an industry that was slowly booming in 2002 with new advertising platforms like Google AdWords entering the market.
Vishen started off by sending his advertising traffic to free online meditation courses. The idea was to get people to read them, and get them hooked on attending his classes. The response to this course was, in Vishen’s own words, insane.
Within a short time, these online courses had been downloaded by over 800,000 people. These people served as Vishen’s first database of potential customers–and after spending 5 years optimizing the process of converting leads into buyers, he went on to earn over $10 million in sales in meditation products alone.
The news soon spread like wildfire, and other authors began approaching Vishen. To cope with the demand, in January 2003 he founded Mindvalley. And we’d like to think we’ve come a pretty long way since then.

熱血，灑在該灑的地方
烏云密布的早上，覆蓋了整座城市，彷彿是在為今天的大集會進行表演的前奏...
一場LIVE演出
起床後首要動作就是將電腦開機，連接上網後，臉書就不停湧出關於今天的Bersih 2.0盛會的最新消息。也許是從小就被父母灌輸不準參與任何政治活動的我，對大馬政治沒有很多的認識，只是一直保持中立，對政治表現冷感，向來都不太介意國內的形勢發展。此刻坐在電腦熒幕前的我，心情就跟前年的台灣跨年晚會時一樣，當大家都充滿著激情走到街上時，我選擇在熒幕前觀賞一場LIVE演出，任我從不同角度舒服地欣賞這次的集會。
為什麼還在這裡？
臉書上的朋友都已經換上黃色的Profile pic，我依然不為所動，直到我看見這張照片...
我問自己，“我為什麼還在這裡？”
儘管有一股衝動想要提起相機，馬上走向市區為今天的歷史性時刻留下畫面，我最終並沒有這樣做。有一句話，在腦裡不停地提醒着我...
這讓我想起很多身邊的朋友其實都是很容易地響應各種活動，然後在網上掀起各種討罵風波。有些人甚至不了解背後的動機，只是純粹看見朋友這樣做所以他也跟著喊著支持XX的口號。
我參加的攝影論壇不知何時變成了政治論壇，主頁也都換上了黃色的banner。我還看見一位小妹妹在那裡光榮地說道，我们华人有够团结，看见好多人都把头像换成有关于黄色的，棒！人家問她， 妹妹你還沒換噢？（意思是換上黃色的照片）她就馬上換了。
必要的階段
回應我媽時，我說，這只是一個階段，是必須的，就像一個人要成長總要碰上一些障礙，並且勇敢跨過去，但不代表你做的事情永遠是對的，而是經歷過某些事情的摩擦後，它能夠讓你看得更加透徹，而變得更成熟。
禮拜一陪同母親在檳城訪問了一名成功的企業家，他也說道，如果你要短期的方便，你可以繼續支持國陣，但如果你追求的是長遠的利益，你就需要做出行動並付出代價。

“你是否像鞭炮一樣一點就着？一點就着的下場就是炮灰。”
因此，我告訴自己必須冷靜。
為反而反
忽然回憶起上個禮拜的一場對話，媽告訴我她的朋友如何積極地支持反對黨還有種種反政府的例子，還強調人們已經開始失去理智，只為反而反。這讓我想起很多身邊的朋友其實都是很容易地響應各種活動，然後在網上掀起各種討罵風波。有些人甚至不了解背後的動機，只是純粹看見朋友這樣做所以他也跟著喊著支持XX的口號。

改革的過程中，往往會有人犧牲，或許就是這些人的犧牲，造成整個事件變得更有意義。
我熱愛的國家
馬來西亞，我始終是熱愛的，因為這裡才是我的家。我很想看到它進步，有一天也能夠走向世界舞台的頂端。我對它是充滿了信心還有期待，所以我要不斷學習、充實自己，說不定有朝一日還能派上用場！
最後，我想要向走在街上的人們致敬！也許明天過後一切都变了，或者根本什么事都没发生，反正，熱血已經灑在該灑的地方...
