生活日记：Fun Fair
If the school was fun fair, I want to be the owner! Let the money feed my pocket. LOL.
From JH: A Proposal
我七岁的时侯
夕阳是西海的一场大火
晚霞都赶了去抢救
烧得她们的脸都红了
在我十七岁的时候
夕阳是光影的一场追逐
蓝光都累散了满天
由得红光在独自跳舞
在我爱上了妳的时候
夕阳是个识趣的小顽皮
在留下了妳满脸的红艳后
躲到树荫外面去了
只剩下芋叶上的水珠
还捉住了点下午的阳光
妳抱着小王子的绵羊
安睡在我的画纸上
像一幅永恒
像一幅永恒
在我二十七岁的时候
夕阳会斜照在我们的家
～～方柞皓著于1998年
注：当年柞皓和朋友写生。我在树荫下读着《小王子》。柞皓原本想画石头流水，却把我画下来了。～～九年后，我才知道，这封信原来是求婚信…

From JH: Dove on a Distant Oak
Dove on a distant oak
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like dove on a distant oak
I rest on my journey home
Your hand stretches like a branch
To hold me in beneath your canopy
Like lamb on a pasture green
I feed on my daily need
Your words cover all of my way
Just like the grass that shields my feet from shards
Like deer at a singing brook
I drink for my burning thirst
Your love ever flows like a spring
To give me hope when all is lost!
Like a dove on a distant oak
I need your strength on my journey home
I need your love when the sun goes down
I need your hands to hold me in--
When the darkness falls on me
Like birds in the lofty sky
I'll soar when the morning dawn
Your spirit lifts me up like the wind
To push me over the rainbow's edge!
To where Your love waits in open arms
Just like an oak stretches out its branch
To hold in safety beneath your leaves
To hold in peace this tired dove--
A dove on a distant oak...
写这首歌的方柞皓另外写了一段话给李瑞宝：
谨以此歌送予想家的我的宝：
在往后的日子
不论神放我们在哪一个家
给我们一个怎么样的家
或甚至不给我们家，只叫我们成为
四处为家的传教士
在任何地方
我们都认定
我们还在回家的路上
我们不应过份回顾以往的家
过份响往以后的家
只盼望
走完这一段天路
在彼方的天家

Designed by Hong JH for Christmas 2009.
Theme: Eternal Bliss.
概念：
我觉得，永恒的幸福就是回到天父的怀抱当中。
好像丑小鸭总算明白，原来我不是在泥泞中打滚的鸭子，而是在清澈湖水上漫游的美丽天鹅……
我们本来都是在世俗和罪的泥泞中打滚的鸭子……但上帝怜悯我们，使我们有盼望：到了那一天，我们要如同化身天鹅一般，找到自己真正的家、真正的幸福……

(Written by Hong JH in 2005)
A lot of people are addicted to shopping and spending; and unlike drug
addiction, there are no law-enforcers to help you quit your addiction.
My theory is, you don't have to quit. You just have to try a new form
of replacement therapy, and I'd like to call it:
The Everyday Malaysian Challenge (TEMC) #1: Shop with an orphan (or
abandoned old folk)
This is how it works:
You easily spend more than RM100 on every shopping trip, and we all
know that RM100 can mean quite a lot to impoverished people, including
orphans, widows, abandoned old folks, etc. Yet it is very difficult -
I must admit on my own behalf - to curb our urges to go out there and
spend the spare money we have, and instead write out a cheque for an
orphanage. Besides, sitting down and writing out a cheque to the needy
just does not give us the same kind of "pleasure" as going out there
and spend the whole afternoon shopping and spending (and feel the
instant gratification of having the spending power).
Well then, why not do BOTH? Go out there and shop! But bring along
some orphans (if orphanages have policies against your singling out a
few kids to lavish on them, do this to kids from impoverished families
that you know of) and buy clothes and other necessities for them
instead! And for ladies who MUST visit the ladies' department to check
out the latest fashions, do not forget that there are teenage orphans
who could use a few fashionable dresses as well.
Orphans and old folks are not "icings" on the cakes of special
occasions. They need our caring touches all year long. And it is not
impossible to do that. Just try this "everyday challenge", and see
what a great difference it will make to our society.
