Return 归属感

很久没更新我的部落格了，很不好意思。不是生活忙绿，而是开始对写部落格失去了原有的那股动力。也许是因为没有人来阅读，也许是自己的懒散，也许是不知道该写什么，也许。。。

一个又一个的借口，一次又一次地延迟了更新部落格，心里总是很不好受。虽然知道并不多读者，甚至没有任何人会来我的部落格逗留，但是内心总是很内疚。

终于，鼓起了勇气，登录了部落格的网页，手指在键盘上快乐地飞舞，心里终于平静了。

It's been a while since the last time I updated my blog, really sorry about it. Not really that I'm too busy with life, but somehow losing the drive to write. Maybe it's because of few to none people reading, maybe it's because of my own laziness, maybe not sure what to write, maybe ......

Excuse after excuse, the updating blog process was delayed again and again, it made my heart ached just thinking about it. Even though there are very few to none readers who would visit my blog, but still it didn't feel good.

Finally, gathered bits of courage, logged into my blog, fingers danced happily on the keyboards, my heart felt calmer at last.

Kukup Trip 龟咯 - Day 1 (27th February)

2009年2月27日，工大华文班举办了一个培训营于龟咯。我们先在N24那儿集合。下午两点半，大家便浩浩荡荡地坐巴士出发。一上了巴士，我便把鸭嘴帽压下，享受短暂的午觉。

UTM's Mandarin class organised a training camp in Kukup from 27th to 28th February 2010. First, we met up in N24. At 2.30pm, we took a bus to our destiny. Once seated, I pulled down my cap and enjoyed a short nap.

上巴士咯 let's get going

大约一小时的旅程后，终于到达了目的地。跳下巴士后，咱们便慢慢得走到北京旅馆，我们即将渡过这次的培训营的地点。一路上，大家都有说有笑，有些则拍照留念。

After traveling for roughly an hour, we reached our destiny, Kukup. We walked slowly towards Beijing resort, where we would spend our whole camp there. While chatting happily along the journey, some took a few shots.

十分钟后，我们到达了北京旅馆，布置得蛮美的，红灯笼、对联等。

After 10 minutes, we reached our destiny, it's well-decorated with red lanterns.

我们的房间在楼上。放好背包后，我们进行了个破冰活动，一方面可以促进各为教员们及理事们的感情。六点到七点是大家的自由活动时间。我便和两位朋友去吃椰子 ，点了椰子布丁，一粒马币五块半。蛮好吃的，可惜椰肉有点硬。

Our rooms are above. After setting down, we had Ice Breaking activity to learn more about each other. Then, we had free time from 6 till 7. Hence, I went out for coconut with another 2 friends. I ordered a coconut puding, cost RM5.50. Quite nice, love the soft pudding, just that the coconut flesh wasn't as soft as I expected, but still nice.

当晚，我们有特别嘉宾：郑亮、弘吾、石头大哥及千政，他们特地从工大跑了一趟过来。其实呢，他们今晚有一个很特别的环节，那就是讲解华文班的历史。大家都听得津津有味。在问答环节时，教员们纷纷提出了许多宝贵的意见，果然，刚才学长们的讲座会见效了，正所谓抛砖引石。

At night, we had special guests: Chin Liang, Rock San and Chien Zheng who came all the way from UTM. Well, they have a special slot, that is to explain the history of UTM Mandarin Class. We all listened carefully. During the Q&A session, lots of great ideas and views were shared. Always great to see the enthusiasm from the tutors.

最后，我们有孔明灯环节，买了五个孔明灯，走到了庙的后面放。

We had a lantern session before midnight. After buying 5 lanterns, we walked towards the empty spaces behind the Chinese Temple to release them into the sky.

到了庙，大戏还在进行中。可惜，他们使用方言，我完完全全不明白。

Upon reaching the temple, the Chinese Opera was still going on. Too bad, they were using a Chinese slang that I don't understand at all.

待了一阵子后，大伙儿便朝向空地走。这是我的第一次放孔明灯。慢慢得打开包装，欣赏了一番。在还没研究如何放孔明灯前，大伙儿在孔明灯上写上自己的愿望及希望。

After a while, we walked towards the empty space for the lantern. This was my first time releasing the lantern into the sky. After taking out the lantern from the package, admired it a bit (it's the first time seeing it in front of my eyes). Before checking out how to release them, hopes were written on the lanterns.

过后，把孔明灯张开，把燃料点燃。几位七手八脚掌着孔明灯，等待热气充满孔明灯。

Then, spread out the lantern, burnt the burning material. A few of us hold onto the lantern, waiting for the hot air to fill up the lantern.

够热起了，来。。。一。。。二。。。三。。。放！
Should be enough, 1... 2... 3... Let's do it!

放了孔明灯后，咱们便回旅馆了。一路上，看见了许多美丽的烟花。

After finished releasing all the lanterns into the sky, we walked back to the inn. On the way back, we saw lots of beautiful fireworks.

大家都兴奋而归。突然有人建议去看最后一个庙。有些太累了就没跟随。而我呢，则跟随着大众朝向庙前进。由于已经过了午夜十二点，难免四周都特别安静，差不多当地的居民都睡着了，空荡荡的街道，偶尔演化在星空下灿烂着。走啊走，终于走到了目的地。瞭望了四周，这里的夜景蛮美的。在还没回之前，拍了张照片留念。

We had lots of fun. Just as we're reaching our inn, someone suggested to visit the last temple around here. Those who were too tired didn't follow. As for me, I just followed, it's not worthy to miss the places after all. Since it's over midnight, it's rather quiet around here, most of the residents were fast asleep by now, leaving behind empty streets, only fireworks showed up in the sky once in a while. After walking for about 15 minutes, finally we reached our destiny. We climbed up to the top and had a bird's view of the area here, it's quite a nice view. We took a few shots before going back to the inn.

回到旅馆时，有的坚持要通宵，而我呢，呵呵，则睡觉。

Once reaching the inn, some planned to stay up, whereas for me, I chose to sleep.

First day of CNY 大年初一

大年初一，我睡到大约八点半。突然觉得房间很热，朦朦中发现风扇竟然没有转动，不会是停电吧。揉揉眼睛，走去房间睁大眼望一望周围，真的是停电。哎，真么回选着了这么妙的时间维修电呢？而且是停电到傍晚七点半。哎哟，那本人应该如何度过今天呢？

最后，还是决定去 Taman U 那儿度过。洗澡后，便去吃个早餐。到 JUSCO 的星巴克那儿喝杯咖啡，上网。发现有好几位的工大学生也在那儿上网。呵呵。看来大家都有同感，没电的日子很难过。

这里并没什么新年的气氛，空空荡荡的街道，大多数的店都关闭。没回家过年的感觉真不好过，那沉闷的感觉有点难受；但回家的话，机票又很贵。但日子还得度过呀。
