•He had Such Quiet Eyes

He had such quiet eyes他有双安静和迷人的眼睛
She did not realise她并没有明白
They were two pools of lies这只是一个谎言
Layered with thinnest ice他铺上了最薄的冰片
To her, those quiet eyes对她来说,那些眼神
Were breathing desolate sighs 就像呼吸着荒凉及空虚的叹息
Imploring her to be nice恳求女的对他好
And to render him paradise 并给于他天堂

If only she'd been wise 如果她一直明智
And had listened to the advice 并听取意见
Never to compromise 永不妥协
With pleasure- seeking guys 随着享乐家伙

but on their brows他们的眉毛(眼神)
there was not a sign of despair有一个绝望的迹象

they had to brave the horrendous flood
in the water all the time
between bloated carcasses
and tiny chips of tree barks
desperately looking for their son’s
albino buffalo that was never found
整个白天和黑夜刚过
他们勇敢地面对可怕的洪水
在水中渡過所有的时间
在動物屍體中渡過(有危險性)
硬树皮和微小芯片
拼命地寻找自己的養大的儿子
化水牛而从来没有找到



They were born amidst hardship
and grew up without a sigh or a complaint

一个宁静的午后

还记得一个宁静的午后,那一天依然是雨季,西北气候风的雨,一直在垂落。我守着简单的日子,想象生活里任何一种美好的抵达。风,吹来的时候,让人觉得有点儿冷,这可能是季节的必须吧!即使有些轻巧,有些微不足道,但在来不及掩饰的惊颤中,却赢得我的敬仰。生活,就是此时一点一滴的悄然流逝,微笑也好,忧伤也罢,感触的情绪接受体味、温暖、怀念,拒绝寒冷、尘土、孤独,而过程更是让目光保持缄默。

  大家的生命总在匆忙里奔波。难得,我得乘小憩的时刻,眨一眨困乏的眼睛。许多无法诉说的回头或者转身,不再紧裹,我相信含着的泪水,一旦流出来,风很快就把它吹干了。所以,我悄悄的掩藏内心的痛。我把它握在手里,我想自己是幸福的鸟儿,或者还应该是一滴湿润的雨珠。晶莹的期待在宽阔的天空和大地上升高,让思念在身体疲惫之前自由穿梭,不需要任何陷入彷徨的理由。爱你,也一样从容。

  尘埃落定。风雨有情。如果,你是一只渴望飞翔的蝴蝶,你的烦躁和生活本身的宽容相关。我多么希望,静一些,再静一些,好让手中的花都打开笑脸,让怦然心动轻轻触击我的心灵,让闪亮的光芒在水中泛舟,花,游走,像一个个翡翠般的精灵,接近梦想,接近生命的高度。芳香缓缓向前。我们都在爱着。因此,在最深的静处学会坚守。花开依旧,水声潺潺。我看见爱,火焰一般,隽永悠长。
  
从最近的一次怀念开始,从一朵花瓣开始,我看见幸福的模样,无声地为我撑开一方碧空。许多夙愿不会轻易的挂在枝头,正如我的寄托,坐化于一片水域的花开,用枯萎的艳丽给我恬淡,我用从未有过的心思,悄悄的说话,一阵阵冲动使我无限温暖。想不想你,花都开着。有时,未来就是雨后湿冷的声音,一些情感要比记忆更加苍老。我不要刚好分开属于你的一角天空。除了我,没有人正在倾听花朵最后的叹息。
  
这是一片空间,就这一片!这是一瞬宁静,就这一瞬!一朵花的火焰在舞蹈。一个人的思念,安坐成静,被时间一下一下的敲碎。一场大雨,一阵小风,天朗云轻,细碎不止。执著的热爱,把一些憧憬放进文字;无序的思绪,把一些伤愁牵引,忽然之间,在这个萧萧的午后,易感的心,长出一蔓青藤,缠绕发间,萦绕眉宇,写满春色。生命,在这样的翔动中无限伸展,更是花开的弥漫。

怎么办?

刚刚拿出了时间表,发现了考试的日期就在我生日的前几天。糟糕了,应该压力会很大吧!

一直来,我都不够独立,不想一个人去面对这一切。真的希望有人能陪我一起去读书,我的学生们,你们听到了吗?

我想应该没有人懂,因为这是一个没人点击的部落格。Key2WIN的心声只有我一个人懂吧! 学生们应该还不知道这儿的存在,希望有一天这儿会有爆满的一天。

读书一点都不简单,若是没有一刻好的老师在身旁,一切就会更糟糕了。 记得记得,key2WIN 欢迎每一个学生哦...

今天,会不会有一些好的消息呢?


有点担心,但也很期待... 因为我相信我值得拥有...

A new flyer, A new hope for me..... Remember, key2win is always the key to success for everyone as well as myself......

Be healthy, My students

Health is everything and it is priceless. If you own it, you can have everything. Once you are unhealthy, you lost almost everything. We will become old in one day, nit happens to all us all, however hard we may try to delay this process. No one can escape from this unchangeable fact, and we grow old. Cosmetic surgery may remove the wrinkles, skin which has sagged may be tightened by means of a facelift, and hairdressers may dye grey hair a more youthful colour, but we cannot remain young forever. SOmetime these all are under our control as we must learn how to take care of ourselves.

Learn to take care of ourselves from this moment....

First step of being healthy, eating is the main thing we need to concern. AS everyone always says, we are what we eat. Eat between 3 and 5 meals a day. Stick to portions and you will be hungry when your body is ready for the next meal. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are meals you cannot go without, otherwise your body does not receive the nutrition it's supposed to get. Eat a balanced diet. By doing so, you'll have a healthy heart, healthy brain, and a fully functional immune system. Also, it's good to have variety.

Secondly, Exercise is important. You can't live without it. Make sure you spend around 30 minutes to an hour doing nothing but some running, weight lifting, push ups, and maybe some sort of aerobic exercise is good.

Other than exercising, Remember to Sleep about 7-8 hours every night. Dont sleep too much or too little. Don't overdo Carbs! Makes sure you eat a limited amount of carbohydrates each day. Don't go without them, just don't eat a lot of them.

Remember to Cut back on smoking and alcohol. Smoking can cause bronchitis and respiratory disease, and alcohol can cause laziness, fatigue, and maybe even an abnormal blood pressure.

Furthermore, Monday is recovering day! If you are having a hard time starting a healthy habit or giving up an unhealthy one, try using Monday as the day to recommit to your new routine. Healthy Monday is a national public health campaign in association with Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health that makes Monday the day for all things healthy. It can be the day to recommit to eating healthier, start exercising, or quit smoking.

Before i stop writing, remember to keep clean! Good hygiene is key! Wash your hands after you've gone to do your business. Good oral hygiene is also very valuable. Brush your teeth around 2-3 times a day.

Anyway, i hope all of you will have a very great and well body and healthy body~~

Be happy always~~ Happy living is the main key to success.....

一切真的會成回忆嗎?

时光飞逝,还来不及好好地握住,一切都變得太迟了。人總是要在失去后才来明白,可是遗憾未免无补于事了。爱情,亲情,友情或感情,往往都会留着许许多多的遗憾。 翻开陈旧的key2win当年的记事簿,看到了一些熟悉的名字,蔡紫莹,杨舒容,朱汉翔,谭富豪,富权等等... 有很大的感慨,現在只能叹气说,时光不會因任何人而暫停。

如果有那么一天,一切还是可以会头,是多么的美好~~ 我的学生们,老师想你们了.... 你們的日子過得如何呢?會不會很累?還有你們依然會不會記得我們一起成長點滴呢?


十月到了,我好害怕再見會說得太快,我真的不想與你們分開,好像維持現在的關係到永遠。 無論我多期待,都只有不可能而已。你們總是應該要長大,必須要離開,更應該向往更美好的方向飛去。是我自私,是我放不下你們,不能去習慣沒有了你吵鬧的声音。 原來,這些年來你們已經藏在了我的內心,真的,我好害怕很快會到了教你們的最後一堂課。

原來除了愛情,親情,友情,我還會有你們這一群學生的另一種情~”師生情“。 這一種感情,也足夠於讓我淚痕滿臉了 ......

我的好學生們,記得記得,魏佬永遠是你們的Ah Gooi 老師...... 千言萬語只有那一句,“我真的不能失去你們”。

what will be my next step?



Be reality, what should i do in my next step? I want more and more students, anyone can help me about that? A very greedy teacher here, so sorry...

Yesterday, someone told me one thing seriously, my emotion has affected since these few months. She asked me to be aware of myself, as it is one of the serious cases. I was shocked with it, and just realized i have lost in the maze of life. I know this is life, a very suffering pathway, the tougher it is, the stronger i will be. Am i comforting myself, whether it is true or not, i am confused by myself.



Today, so busy, very early in the morning, i had to go out with mom to hospital for physiotherapy, then brought boon ho out for follow-up on his wound. So busy, i was just like a psychopathic guy, doing this and that. No matter how, i have to endure. I believe everything will be fine soon.

Going to start my class soon...... Today will be better......

October 2011......

Fire disaster was happened on 30th of september, it was so scary. Tears dropped down, when seeing the fire swallowing those house. I prayed to the God, please stop everything that moment. I was going crazy, and i couldn't do anything at all.

I was worrying about my house and key2win, i didn't want to lose everything just in 30 minutes. I tried to use pipe to extinguish but it seemed useless. Luckily, everything stopped after 2 hours. My student's house was fine, thanks god for everything. I need to be satisfied by everything i own now. Nothing is perfect, as myself.....

My students are having PMR examination, hopefully, they can do well with that. Actually, i am so sorry as i didn't spend so much time of doing revision with them. Sorry, my dearest students, i am so busy...... No matter how, feel free to call me, if there is a problem. Remember, you all are my priority.

This month, i don't have much intake, hope that everything will turn to a new leaf, New students are coming in soon.....

So many things have happened this year..... I am not strong enough, that's why god wants me to go through those challenges as well as obstacles.


Boon ho just discharged from hospital yesterday, luckily he is fine now. This is really a good news to me and him.

Long time of not writing any blog, feel like my brain retarded and my fingers are so stiff till hardly type out my feeling....

No matter how, i will try my best to write out my inner heart again......

Good luck to myself, key2win, and my studentssss

January of 2011

Good Bye to 2010, for sure a new beginning to Key2win again. AS the leader of key2win i can't let myself to be free for any moment. It's not a time for me to rest nor relaxing. Yeah, moving forward without any fear. AS i know, even i fell down, many people are here to give me their support.

Yesterday, i cancelled all the outing, is time for me to stay in the centre, waiting customer to come over. it sounds weird, but i like this way of running my centre! Franky Speaking, i hope to have more and more students, but i don't want to turn my little centre becomes so commercial. This isn't my principle.

I can do it, I can do it!

As a REPRESENTATIVE OF key2win, i need to be watchful on my outlook and my action. This is my weakness, i need to have more professional way of teaching and talking to my clients, partners and students. Plenty to learn here.

I need to be appropriate counselor for my students and partners whenever they need it. Cool, so proud of having this power, but i am always not the best one, still have to great gap to improve.

Managing time well, this job isn't easy, esspecially our messy timetable. Students and parents are always the priority, we think of them rather than ourselves. Have to be stricter this year, hopefully we can do so.

I need to strive for effectiveness by provides and adequate reward structure to encourage performance of myself, my teachers and my students as well. NO matter how, you all are my priceless gift, i really can survive with you all.

I have to control those sources of influence as well as i can. Don't be lazy this year, i won't allow myself as well as my teachers and students.

More and more things i need to worry, i know, none can escape from problems ....

I am still have energy, i know i can do it.
