Wakanda Forever!
The struggles along the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose - Chadwick Boseman
In times of crisis, the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe - T'Challa Black Panther
Two of my fav quotes from one of the most extraordinary talents and motivating person who leave the world too soon, Chadwick Boseman. Look into his quotes and sharing, there are many intakes can help to motivate you in your life and purpose.
Covid19 is not yet over although 2020 is behind us. We hope for a better 2021 by praying the situation will recover soon but it's not and cases are expected to rise in Malaysia with today marks the highest cases and this situation is alarming.
Today, there are almost 88 million cases around the world. Covid19 is real and we are all in a serious situation. Nothing should be taken lightly, this is not a hoax, joke or conspiracy.
Stop listening to fake news and hearsay because in this digital age, everyone is a reporter and information is everywhere and overload.
Always make as many references possible from official and trustworthy sources before you consume and share any information. Refer to data, statistics and scientific information, not simply something people pass through information without any evidence or trying to be 'viral'.
Protect yourself, your family, and your surroundings. Adhere to the healthcare and authorities guidelines as strictly as possible. Postpone any interstate travels or holidays. Avoid meeting high-risk individuals to protect them, not just yourself (and many more-please follow the guidelines).
In this Covid19 disease pandemic, to take care of others and help one another, you have to take care of yourself to avoid the virus from spreading. We are in this together, we should help each other by protecting ourselves. Be safe and take care of all.

说一说…..小黄花
多年前,我和朋友到云南旅行。
一个晴朗的下午,我们的车子开在一条马路上,两边尽是一望无际青翠的草原,厚实的云层低得让你以为只要用力踮脚伸腰就触手可及,而穿过云层洒在青草上的是神圣的耶稣光……好美好美。
我忍不住请司机大哥在路边停车,跑到草原上拍照。
我顺着耶稣光的方向走去,绿油油的草原间,长满了一朵朵闪耀的小黄花。
我把长镜头对准其中一朵小黄花,想把它在阳光下的灿烂留住。
仔细一看,刹时一阵深深的感动。
这朵小黄花的花瓣是心形的,镜头里的它好像在跟我说“我爱你”。
也许是它把我召唤到这里,让我们相遇,然后把一份强大的爱赐予我。
2007年,在好友采妮(杨采妮)的发起下,我和Gigi(梁咏琪),秀秀(许茹芸)决定成立一个儿童慈善教育基金会。
为基金会取名时,我想起了那朵充满爱的小黄花,提议了小黄花这个名字。
小黄花是野花,它在艰难的环境下成长,经历日晒雨淋,暴风吹打,却勇敢接受磨练,长得越来越粗壮,最后终于开出了灿烂的小黄花,散发着属于它的光芒。
这个精神正可以用来鼓励贫穷家庭的孩子,而我们可以透过基金会的角色,把我们的爱变成滋养他们的土地和阳光。
决定了这个名字后,我把小黄花的照片递给女儿,当时八岁的她就画了今天大家所看到的小黄花标志。
2008年,回归家乡,2010年年底,进入贫民区开始提供免费午餐,2012年正式注册。
十年,从贫民窟的免费午餐计划……至今天两间中心“小黄花乐园”,照顾上百位贫穷家庭的孩子,提供他们免费营养午餐,教育,课外活动,未来规划…..至疫情管制令期间购买医疗防护用品捐赠医院,提供六百多个贫穷家庭粮食….,这一路沿着初心走来,所有参与小黄花慈善教育基金会的工作者,无不深深地感受爱的力量。
这些孩子照亮了我们内心的慈悲,让我们发现原来爱才是真正让我们变得强大的养分,而这份强大不强势,不咄咄逼人,不傲气,而是一份非常温柔和温暖的强大。
多年前,阅读了特丽莎修女的传记。
她一生的全部财产就是一尊耶稣像,三套衣服和一双凉鞋,她为印度数不尽的贫穷家庭和快要死亡的穷人服务。
她把一生都奉献给贫穷人们,让他们受到尊重,关怀和爱。
她说:
爱自己,爱他人,爱生命里一切需要爱的事物,不要任何理由。
哪怕生命微小到只是一根细小的灯芯,燃烧了,就能照亮自己,也能照亮他人。
甚至,你还可以尝试去照亮一个世界。
每次回顾特丽莎修女的事迹或是她的语录,简单的几句话,就能让我轻易感动至眼眶泛泪。
十年,从当初“一定要喂饱孩子”的初心出发,到今日得以结合大众的力量一起关爱更多的贫穷家庭,心里尽是感恩,感恩再感恩。
很多人都觉得做慈善机构很难,很难在现今追求名利的社会里找到志同道合的伙伴。
但这十年里,从事这份慈善工作,我一直都遇见了许多非常伟大,善良的同伴,更因为这份工作而结交了许多以前身为艺人没有机会接触在各个领域已很经成功,还致力从事慈善工作的人们,让我感受到了这个社会里非常强大和温暖的力量。
因为一份关爱,打开了我的心,我的眼睛,甚至我的整个世界。
行动管制令期间,因为募款的款项非常踊跃,于是小黄花的五位员工异常忙碌。
她们每天忙于接收善款,处理捐款的文件工作,回复捐助者的讯息,定期向大众更新最新的善款运用详情,致电关心各方提供的本地贫穷家庭,难民,外籍工作者的状况,安排食物订购和运送,处理医疗防护用品的订购事宜,行动管制令开始放宽后,就忙于探访特殊案例家庭和老人院,做进一步的了解,以便能提供他们更长远的援助。
她们很忙,很累,但她们说“内心很感动,从来没想过自己有一天竟然在国家陷入困境时,与许多素未谋面的善心人士一起,帮助那么多在这片土地生活的人们。”
我很爱很爱我的伙伴们,因为她们的加入,让这份工作得以持续下去,还不停成长。
因为她们的付出,让更多的贫穷人们得到关爱。
特丽莎修女虽然已经离开人世,但她的精神和能量还在发挥着强大的影响和指引。
而还在人世间的我们,也许可以就如她说的:
我们当中极少数人能做伟大的事情,但每一个人都可以用崇高的爱去做平凡的事。
Few of us can do great things, but all of us can do small things with great love.

Let’s talk about….. Little Yellow Flower
Many years back, I went to Yunnan with my friend. It was a sunny afternoon. Our car was driving along the road, both sides covered in vast fresh and green grassland. The heavy clouds were hanging so low that you will feel as though as it is within reach just by stretching out your hands while tip-toeing. Also, passing through the clouds, were the divine looking crepuscular rays sprinkling over the grasses…. It was really, really beautiful and magnificent.
I just could not help it but to request for the chauffeur to pull up by the roadside, running into the grassland to take a picture. I walked and followed the ray’s directions in the lush green grassland towards a spot where there were just many small little radiant looking yellow flowers. I pointed the long camera lens towards one of the little yellow flower, wanting to keep its brilliances while under the sunshine.
Taking a closer look at the flower, I was suddenly deeply moved. The petals of this little yellow flower are heart-shaped. It seems to be saying “I Love You” to me through the camera lens. Perhaps it was the one who is calling me, letting us meet and bestowing me a sense of powerful love.
In the year 2007, with the initiative from Charlie Young, who is one of my best friends, and together with Gigi Leung and Valen Hsu, we decided to set up an education charity Foundation for the children.
When we were naming the Foundation, I thought of the little yellow flower which was full of love and proposed to use “Little Yellow Flower” as the name of the Foundation.
The little yellow flower is a flower which grows in the wilderness. It has to grow under the harsh environment, experiencing the beating weather like the scorching hot sun, drenching under the rain and bracing itself in the forceful windy storms. Yet it endures and accepts it bravely, growing into a splendid looking little yellow flower, shining radiantly and brightly.
This spirit can be used to encourage the children of poor families and communities. Through the Foundation, it enables us to transmit our love to nourish their soul and become their sunshine.
After deciding to use this name, I gave this picture to my daughter and the Little Yellow Flower logo which you all see today is actually drawn by her who was only 8 years old at that time.
Year 2008, I returned to my homeland. End of 2010, we started to provide free lunch for the children in the slum area and in 2012, we are registered formally in Malaysia.
10 years… from providing free lunch program in the slum areas, and now at present, we have 2 centers known as “Little Yellow Flower Wonderland”; Taking care of more than one hundred children from poor families, providing them free nutritious lunch, education, extra curriculums, fun learning and future planning…..During this pandemic and Movement Control Order period, we have purchased, donated Personal Protection Equipment and goods which are medically treated to the hospitals and also provided essential needs and food for over 600 poor families and individuals.
During this journey, with the original intention of the Foundation, all the staffs in Little Yellow Flower Education Foundation, sensed the deep power of love.
These children have lighten up our innermost compassion, allowing us to realize that love is the nutrient that makes us more powerful. However, this strength is not intensive, not aggressive, not arrogant but rather one that is much gentler, tender and warm.
I have read Mother Teresa’s biography many years ago. Throughout her life, her entire assets consist of only a Jesus statue, 3 sets of clothes and a pair of sandals. She served countless numbers of the poor and cared for the sick who are at the brink of death in India. She devoted her life to the poor, allowing them to be respected, cared for and loved.
She has said: “Love yourself, Love others, Love everything in life that needs to be loved. Even if life is as tiny as a wick, when ignited, it is able to illuminate oneself and also others. So much so that you may even try to light up the whole world.”
The corners of my eyes would easily tear up whenever I look back at Mother Teresa’s achievements or quotes, even though it is just those few simple words.
With the intention of “Must feed these children” from 10 years ago up to today, to be able to combine the strength from the public together to care for these poor, I am forever, over and over again filled with gratefulness.
Many people think that to serve in charitable work is very difficult. Difficult to find like-minded partners in this modern society where it is all about fame and profit. But during these 10 years, ever since engaging in this charitable work, I have met many great and kind-hearted people. It is also because of this work, I am able to meet up with a lot of successful people from various industries (people who are not in the entertainment industry). These people are also actively involved and committed in charitable work. This reminded and gave me a great sense of energy, strength and warmth still exists in the society.
Because of this care and love, it has opened up my mind, heart, eyes and my whole world.
During the Movement Control Order, due to the enormous responses from the fundraising event, all the 5 staffs in Little Yellow Flower were extremely busy.
Every day, they are busy receiving donation, processing documents, responding to the donors’ messages, regularly updating the public about the funds raised and used, finding out about the condition and needs of our local poor families, refugees and migrant workers. Making orders, preparing and delivering out essentials and food to these families in need, handling orders and making arrangements for the medical personal protection equipment.
When the Movement Control Order restrictions were relaxed, they are now busy with visitations to households of special cases and nursing homes to further understand their situation, to be able to provide them long-term support.
They are awfully busy and very tired but they told me this: “We are deeply moved. Never have we thought that there will be a day when the country would be in difficulties and we would be heavily involved, working together with so many kind people whom we have never met before to provide assistance to the people living on the same land as us.”
I love my workmates very, very much. This work is able to continuously grow and develop because of their participation. It is because of their efforts, more poor people are being cared for.
Although Mother Teresa has left this earthly world, her spirit and energy is still exerting powerful influences and guidance. To those of us who are still in this secular world, as she has said: “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
P/S:
A) Thank you very much to all volunteers who have helped out during this period of time.

【為什麼「別擔心錢了,去旅行吧」是個蠢到不行的建議
Why “Don’t Worry About Money, Just Travel” Is the Worst Advice of All Time】
(Sources: Rob@flickr, girllostinthecity.com)
(Time.com, Jul. 1, 2015) —by Chelsea Fagan
I have an internet acquaintance that I’ve been following on social media for a little over two years now, an all-around nice, smart girl who blogs and does odd jobs and has recently decided to go back get a Master’s. In Europe. For a degree that, by all reasonable accounts, is probably not going to lead to a great job. And she knows this, I think, because she talks about it as “an opportunity to learn and expand her mind,” more than any sort of preparation for a future career. Which is fine, but the truth of the matter is that she is able to enjoy such freedom — to be a wanderer of sorts who enjoys travel, study for the sake of study, and long conversations over good dinners — because she comes from a good bit of wealth and, if not subsidized entirely, never has to worry about her safety net. She won that particular bit of genetic lottery, and it’s useless to begrudge her the freedom that fate bestowed on her.
我有個網路上認識兩年多的女性友人,是個在社群網站上人緣頗佳且聰明的女孩,只做些打工、寫寫部落格過日子,最近又決定回去修個碩士學位。那是個位於歐洲,且是個無論怎麼合理的解釋也肯定對未來找到好工作一事永遠派不上用場的學位。而且我想這位女網友也知之甚詳,因為她描述起這學位時,只提到說「想有個機會擴展心靈」,而非是要用來準備將來就業所需。乍看之下這女孩的一切令人稱羨,但上述中她之所以能夠享有這樣的自由,像是漫無目的的出國旅行、為了念書而念書、花費很多的時間討論美味晚餐…,這些全因她來自有錢的家庭。這女孩就像是中了基因的樂透一樣,她的自由自在是投對胎所致的,所以一般人對其毋需羨慕也毋需妒恨。
But it is useful — important, even — to begrudge her the attitude that comes with it, one that is all too prevalent amongst young people who do not have to worry about the foundations of their future financial security: This idea that you must travel, as some sort of moral imperative, without worrying about something as trivial as “money.” The girl in question posts superficially inspiring quotes on her lush photos, about dropping everything and running away, or quitting that job you hate to start a new life somewhere new, or soaking up the beauty of the world while you are young and untethered enough to do so. It’s aspirational porn, which serves the dual purpose of tantalizing the viewer with a life they cannot have, while making them feel like some sort of failure for not being able to have it.
但真正有用甚至可說必須的是,去妒羨像這個女孩背後代表的這種生活態度。在美國就有一大群奉行這樣教條式信念卻又衣食無憂的年輕人,他們認為:趁年輕就要出國旅行、不必擔心金錢這種小事。這女孩在自己飲食作樂的照片上面,寫滿了膚淺的勵志小語貼文,像是:「拋下所有束縛,逃脫一切吧!」;「辭去妳討厭的工作,去另一個新天地展開新的人生吧!」;「趁著妳依舊年輕且無拘無束的時候,就該沉浸在世界的美麗之中」。這種意識型態活脫就是「夢想生活的情慾賁張」,且在其背後隱藏著雙重意涵,一是要去誘惑、折磨那些過不起這種生活的人們,而其二就是要讓他們自責受挫,認為自己為何不能像那些人一樣「想走就走」。
It’s a way for the upper classes to pat themselves on the back for being able to do something that, quite literally, anyone with money can buy. Traveling for the sake of travel is not an achievement, nor is it guaranteed to make anyone a more cultured, nuanced person. (Some of the most dreadful, entitled tourists are the same people who can afford to visit three new countries each year.) But someone who has had the extreme privilege (yes, privilege) of getting out there and traveling extensively while young is not any better, wiser, or more worthy than the person who has stayed home to work multiple jobs to get the hope of one day landing a job that the traveler will assume is a given. It is entirely a game of money and access, and acting as though “worrying about money” on the part of the person with less is some sort of trivial hangup only adds profound insult to injury.
「為了旅行而旅行」只不過就是上層階級彼此自我標榜的行為,不過他們卻沒有意識到這只不過是另一項「只要有錢就能做到」的事情。出國旅行本身稱不上是成就,也不保證會讓你變成更有文化、更與眾不同的人(有些最駭人、最有聲名的遊客也就是那種每年都有辦法去三個新國家觀光的族群);同樣的,趁年輕出國旅行並不表示你更有智慧、更成功、更高人一等,那只代表你有錢有優勢、有資源這樣做而已。那些非常努力、身兼數職才能得到那些經常出國旅行的人覺得理所當然屬於他們的工作的那些人,就真的較低下嗎?出國旅行完全就只是個金錢跟門路的遊戲,卻有人把實質上深深困擾多數人的經濟問題,講成「瑣碎不重要的小事」,這只會加深社會的貧富傷口。
I was able to travel, and even though I paid for my life abroad with my own work, it was still a result of a healthy amount of privilege. I was from a middle-class family who I did not need to support or help financially, I knew that I could always slink back to their couch if things didn’t work out, and I had managed to accrue a bit of savings while living at home for the few months before I left. There are millions of people who have none of these things, and even if they wanted to pay for travel on their own, would simply not be able to because of the responsibility or poverty they lived with. For even my modest ability to see the world, I am eternally grateful.
我曾經出國旅行,但即使我是自食其力的工作賺旅費出遊,我知道這一切終究還是一種特權,這都是因為我來自一個中產階級的家庭。我不需要在金錢上去資助或協助家裡,就算狀況再怎麼壞,我至少都有爸媽家的沙發可以回去依靠,況且我外出旅遊前我也能藉由住在家裡擠個月來利用利息累積身上的存款。可是這世界上有成千上萬的人沒有我所具備的上述條件,而且即便是他們想要自費出國「見見世面」,也會因為他們與生俱來的責任感或窮困而裹足不前。因此對於能夠出去見識這個世界的小小能力,我一直心懷感激。
And what’s more, I understand (perhaps even better after having traveled a good amount) that nothing about your ability or inability to travel means anything about you as a person. Some people are simply saddled with more responsibilities and commitments, and less disposable income, whether from birth or not. And someone needing to stay at a job they may not love because they have a family to take care of, or college to pay for, or basic financial independence to achieve, does not mean that they don’t have the same desire to learn and grow as someone who travels. They simply do not have the same options, and are learning and growing in their own way, in the context of the life they have. They are learning what it means to work hard, to delay gratification, and to better yourself in slow, small ways. This may not be a backpacking trip around Eastern Europe, but it would be hard to argue that it builds any less character.
更甚者,我了解到(也許是在經歷了好一些旅行之後變得更加了解),一個人有沒有出國旅行的經驗,根本就跟你是什麼樣的人沒有關連。不論是否天生如此,有些人就是肩負著更多的責任和承諾,以及較少能自由分配的收入。而且也是有人因為要養家活口、或是還學貸、還是要盡早達到經濟獨立,所以選擇留在自己可能不喜愛的工作崗位上,不去旅行。這並不表示他們想要學習跟成長的渴望輸給那些常旅行的人。這只不過是他們沒有相同的選擇,而改用他們所擁有的生命型態自我學習與成長而已。他們學習的課題是努力工作的意義,學習先苦後甘,慢慢地,以細微的方式讓自己變更好。這聽起來固然不像東歐背包行一樣酷炫,但是無法否認這樣做也能形塑同等的人格特質。
Encouraging that person to “not worry about money,” or to “drop everything and follow their dreams,” demonstrates only a profound misunderstanding about what “worrying” actually means. What the condescending traveler means by “not worrying” is “not making it a priority, or giving it too much weight in your life,” because on some level they imagine you are choosing an extra dollar over an all-important Experience. But the “worrying” that is actually going on is the knowledge that you have no choice but to make money your priority, because if you don’t earn it — or decide to spend thousands of it on a trip to Southeast Asia to find yourself — you could easily be out on the streets. Implying that this is in any way a one-or-the-other choice for millions of Americans is as naive as it is degrading.
在鼓勵別人「別擔心錢」或是「拋開一切,來去追夢」的行為背後,表現出來的是一種對於為了金錢「擔心」的深刻誤解。那種居高臨下的旅遊鼓吹者說出「別擔心」的同時,意味著「別把錢排在第一位,或是在生活中別把錢看得太重」,因為在他們某種程度的想像裡,你是因為想多省一些錢而放棄了重要的人生體驗。但是對於「真正在擔心錢」的人來說,這其實代表著他們別無選擇而必須把錢擺在第一位,因為要是他們真的狠下心灑錢來去東南亞進行一趟尋找自我之旅,接下來就很有機會流落街頭。把這種真正的「擔心」拿來當成一種這樣也好那樣也好的個人價值觀選擇,不僅是想法太過天真而且還相當地侮辱人。
Everyone needs to forge their own path to financial independence and freedom. And perhaps you are lucky enough that your path involves a lot of wandering around, taking your time, and trying a bunch of new things — because you know that security will be waiting for you at the end of the rainbow. That’s fine, and there is no need to feel guilt or shame over your privilege, if only because it’s unproductive and helps no one. But to encourage people to follow your very rare path, because you feel it is the only way to spiritual enlightenment or meaning, makes you an asshole. It makes you the person who posts vapid “inspirational” quotes that only apply to a tiny percent of the population who already has all the basics covered. And God forbid anyone who needs the money actually does follow that terrible advice, they won’t be like you, traipsing around South America and trying degrees for fun. They will, after their travels are over, be much worse off than when they started. And no souvenir keychain is going to make that reality sting any less.
每個人都需要打造自己通往經濟獨立與自由的前程。也許有些幸運的人們是可以在自己的路途上繞來繞去,好整以暇,還是嘗試些新玩意兒,因為他們知道在彩虹盡頭處也是一片康莊祥和的安全道路在等待著。反正沒有關係,擁有優勢不必感到有罪惡感或深以為恥,就算是這種優勢被利用成並無生產力也沒有對他人產生助益。但是鼓勵別人也走上他們這條稀罕至極的道路,只因為他們認為這是唯一可以通往精神啟蒙、發現人生意義的路,那就真的混帳加三級了。這種心態讓他們淪落成那種發表乏味枯燥勵志小語的人,只能跟一群本來就已經夠有錢的人相互取暖。再說上帝有知也會禁止那些真正需要擔心錢的人聽從這些糟糕的建議,他們可不比有錢的傢伙們,能去漫步遊蕩全南美洲找著各式各樣的樂子。他們在旅程的最後會發現,從另一個地方回來之後,一切變得比出發時還更糟。道時再多的紀念鑰匙圈都拯救不了現實椎心的殘酷。
