Just came back this morning from 9th Sakyadhita(daughters of Buddha) International Conference on Buddhist Women..volunteered myself to help around…

well,i must say that i really learnt a lot of things over there….so much that i cant write down everything about it…it was an eye-opening experience,and a once-in-a-life time exposure too since this conference is held in different country every 2 years…

i met a lot of people there..though i din really have the time to talk in depth with everyone of them..i met many great Buddhist women there…they’re really nice and have deep faith in Buddhism…before i went to this conference i was wondering whether it’s a feminist movement but after the event i think i know the answer…it’s just a medium where women can speak up for themselves since most of the voices are unheard…

there was even a Catholic nun attending the conference..she conducted a workshop together with the president of Sakyadhitta,Karma Lekshe Tsomo on Christianity and Buddhism.too bad i had to leave halfway to settle something…fortunately,i had the opportunity to attend another workshop by Tenzin Palmo on dealing with conflicting emotions…feel abit regret for not able to attend workshops and panel discussions…the topics were really interesting..

my job during the conference was tiring…since there’s a shortage of volunteers i had to be in-charged of things that i’m not familiar with, such as dealing with foreign speakers with my broken "manglish" and did some coordinating work..it’s abit too heavy for me as i was not exposed to such so-called "big" event..imagine this, it’s an international affair and u’re representing Malaysia when u’re dealing with foreigners…so i can’t afford to get things done wrongly..nevertheless, i learnt a lot through this…

it dawned me the importance of being proficient in english, as well as mandarin…it’s a huge advantage if we’re able to converse in both languages..me and my friends sometimes have to be translators on the spot..what an experience!!!

and yes, we met wonderful Korean women (or rather aunties) who can’t converse in english nor mandarin but still being nice to be with….they’re really "re qing" and sometimes we get stunned by their passion…one of the Korean "Sunim"s(meaning nun in Korean) even get us to sing "My Heart Will Go On" with her!!and they really like to sing….gosh…

through this event i realised that Buddhism is timeless and beyond all the differences…it’s an experience that i shall never forget…Amitabha!

这个星期五就要到吉隆坡去了。。也不知道什么时候可以回来。。

接下去的三个星期将会忙到焦头烂额，有点担心自己到底能不能负荷。。

首先是在为期大约一个星期的国际佛教女性研讨会当义工，休息两天就要往大学报到，参与迎新周的工委培训，接下来就是正式的迎新周。。。

长达两个月的假期，扣除了活动也只有一个月的假期。。。好想在家呆久一点呵。。以往假期都巴不得快一点开学，可是这次是第一次希望自己能不那么快离家。。似乎越大就越黏家呢。。呵呵。。

趁还没离家前去剪头发。。那理发师剪得很慢很仔细，结果在发行屋坐了将近三个小时的时间。。这次把头发剪得很短。。。其实原本没想到要剪这么短，可是预算错误只好将就咯。。新的发型也不错。。看起来整个人感觉精神了些。。而且可以不用这么快去剪发。。。呵呵。。。

昨晚收到朋友的简讯说成绩放榜了。。有一点错愣，因为前几天一直有在上网查看都无声无息，怎么一天没查就放榜？？

等待上网的同时心情有点七上八下。。毕竟自问这个学期考得不甚理想。。还好，出来的成绩至少还见得人。。也比我想象的好。。。好笑的是，TITAS只拿了个B-。。酱多科目中是最差的。。哎。。不过缺席一次给讲师逮到，不至于那样差吧？？算了。。反正以后不必再考。。。管它的。。

其实比起上个学期还是稍微退步了些，只是某个程度上还是满意的。。看来以后真的得加油了。。好像每一次拿了成绩以后都酱同自己说，可是开始新的学期后又全忘了。。忙各种活动，赶着各类的实验报告。。。很多时候难免会有短暂的迷失。。等到考试将近时才恍然大悟：自己一直以来都没有努力，然后就开始慌。。。像恶性循环。。。抑或像轮回？？呵呵。。

老实说，对自己有个交待也就是了。。可是也不能只满足于现况。。太容易满足反而就不会再精进。。还是那一句，一起努力吧！！

幸福。。

幸福，是每天起床的时候看到从窗外洒进房间的阳光。。

幸福，是在冷冷的雨天吃冰淇淋，哆嗦着却又满足。。

幸福，是在吃着你喜爱的甜品，品尝溶化在嘴里久久不散的甜意。。

幸福，是虽然无所事事，却可以慵懒地度过一个闲闲的星期天下午。。

幸福，是一家人一起聊天开怀大笑时。。

幸福，是和姐姐弟弟为东南西北吵吵闹闹时。。

幸福，是你喜欢的人也喜欢你。。

幸福，是对你喜欢的人的思念。。

幸福，是可以搜集的。。从每天的生活中找到一件能让你幸福的事情就可以light up your day，即使是芝麻绿豆的事。。

幸福，也可以很简单。。

今天，你找到属于你的幸福了吗？？
