今天的这个blog post是特地为我一位很要好的朋友写的。所谓人生不如意十之八九， 过去的事，就忘了他吧。反正还年轻，以后多的是机会，只要多多努力以后还是会有的。：）
今天就说个故事给我的这位好友听吧，因为我答应了她。
从前有位非常有名的讲师，有一天，他在课堂上拿着一张100块的钞票对这同学们说：“ 我这里有张100块钱，有谁要？“
同学们渐渐的举起手都说要。
接着，讲师把钞票紧紧地握在手里，把钞票弄皱。让后还是问：“那现在有谁要？“
同学们还举起手。
最后， 讲师把钞票丢在地上踩了几下，便问：”那现在呢？“
同学们还是都说要。
讲师最后便说：“同学们，其实，人生就像这张钞票，不管做了什么抉择而遇到多少困难，苦难，被人弄脏，还是有人要，还是有价值。他的价值永远也不会变。“
人生就是这样，有时候会遇到痛苦的事，不过也永远不会贬低我们的价值。要有希望，因为你是特别的。

My Experience with Primary School kids
As most of you know, i am currently a lecturer teaching interactive media.
Every Tuesday i need to go to an international school to teach flash CCA as an assignment from the school.
Here are 3 funny incident that i came across when i was teaching the kids from the school.
Incident 1:
I have 2 students, they were close friends and they always sit together in class. I gave them an assignment yesterday and they were allowed to google for pictures to be put into their flash exercise. So, this kid called Ishita went online and search for his friend name, Param. The google page then displayed a whole list of images.
Then this kid tun over to his friend, Param, and said: "Hey Param, you see, you are an old man. (Google image showed various image related to Param including and image of an old indian man.)"
This time, Param started to get angry. He too went online and look for his friend photo. After awhile he exclaimed:" Hey Ishita, you see, you are a female angel."
They carry on looking for images to outwin each other and meanwhile i was at the back, laughing. Cute!
Incident 2
I gave them exercise yesterday, was to create a story using flash. This time round was 2 girl, Jessy and Tisha. The story Tisha wrote started like this....
"I have a foolish friend named Jessy. One day she found a crack on the wall. She did not bother about it. A few day later, a flood came and water start flowing through the wall. Jessy house was flooded and she died. The End" Cute.
Incident 3
This is another story from another girl.
"I was walking in the garden one day. I saw an old lady with her dog trying to cross the road. A boy approach her and help her cross the road. I went to help the dog cross the road. The end." Cute.
This are 3 funny and very cute incident that i encounter in class. When was the last time you and I encounter such innocent being? After working in a human eat human world where most of us were scheming trying to backstab each other (Maybe from the drama), it is always nice to play with kids, relaxed and enjoy their innocence.
Alright, see you next time (basking in their innocent right now).

Universal Group Inc.
This blog is going to dedicate to my newest logo design for my freelance Universal Group Inc. This company basically deals with inks. They are an America coy that provides ink for big organisation in the States. They found me thru my coroflot porfolio. Enjoy the work!
Logo 1
This group of logo is after the unique shape of U and to incorporate paper folding style to it. The use of CMYK (ink basic color) is used too.
Logo 2
This group of logo is use to represent either a star as America or a blob of ink as an ink provider company.
Logo 3
This logo uses the CMYK color in terms of 4 blob at the bottom. Bold fonts were use because most of the time, the logo would be printed onto those ink boxes.
Logo 4
The most common and corporate form of logo. Combines the U, G and I of the Universal Group Inc together. Use of dark blue as it is their company uniform color.
That's all for the design. More next time.

Everything comes to an end.
My grandmother just pass away last Thursday. Thats why i had been missing this few day.
We had a traditional Hakka funeral coupled with ritual for 4 consecutive day and on the final day, she was send to the crematory.
This funeral gave me a chance to mingle with my cousins where its been years since i last saw them (The last time was probably my grandfather funeral). I guess this may be the last time i will ever see them again as humans are lazy to meet up. Everyone of us had our own job or study to be busy with.
My grandmother is a traditional women with 14 children, 9 sons and 5 daughter. My mother was the youngest of the daughters. My grandfather died 5 years ago and last thursday, it was her turn. She pass away at the age of 82 years old from acute infraction, something related to heart disease.
The first 3 days were pretty boring, just various rituals and entertaining friends and relatives that came to attend the funeral. I miss my dear birthday due to this. Sorry, dear. Thanks for supporting me and coming to attend the funeral, i appreciate it. Lucky i bought you your present in advance. I will let you redeem this birthday celebration that i own you.
The most memorable part was on the final day. It was the time for my grandmother to be sent to Mandai Cremetory. We traveled from the funeral location to the crematory at about 2pm. Everyone was with a heavy heart.
The priest had a last ritual where all of us would surround my grandmother reciting some scripture and my grandmother was send to the furnace. We were brought to a view place where we could see the coffin inside the furnace.
Nearly everyone in the room started to cry, even the friends of the relatives. Imagine yourself a scene of 90+ people crying for my grandmother at the same time. (14 children each have about 3-4 kids and some of these kids even gave birth to much more kids.)
The peak was when the fire started to lit and crackle on the coffin. My mother and her siblings were screaming something like 妈啊，妈啊. It lasted for about 5 minutes but i felt it was the saddest moments in my life till now.
Unknowingly, i felt tears rolling down my cheek, (about 3 drops). In actual fact, I believe I cried not because my grandmother get burned or i shall never see her again but because of the atmosphere in the room. I believe that my grandmother would never be awake again. Aww, the scene was super sad and i believe i will never encounter anything like this again.
I look to my left where my brother was standing, i discovered that he was not crying nor his eyes were teary. And he gave a super stone look. After everything ended, when we were leaving the room. My brother suddenly exclaimed something. He whisper to me that he felt his heart was made of stone or metal. He said when he saw my grandmother's coffin was being burn, he din felt anything. lol. Then i told him the rationale behind why my eyes got teary then he undertstand. I ask him when was the last time he cried and he told me was when he was in sec 2 when he was standing behind a door and someone kick the door from the other side. The door when right smacking into his face. He told me he cried wasn't because of the pain but because he really feels like crying. I was like lol.
After this whole funeral, I guess it will be super long again before i will cry. Its good to cry once in a blue moon. Lucky dear wasn't here. I believe she would cry till faint as she was always a tear pot.
I wish all luck to my cousins and relative, hope we will meet again.
P.S. Death is a cycle of life. Everything would come to an end....
