Life is beautiful

认识他至今，就快要十年之久。。。回首过去的点点滴滴；酸，甜，苦，辣，什么感觉什么味道，参差不齐，总而言之，什么都有。

好多时候，当我们回首过去，会发现到很多发生过的不愉快事情，其实都有另一个更好的解决方式，或许不止一个，而是还有很多很多更好的解决方式。。。事情的结局，往往会比现在的好。人一旦经历了种种沧桑，就会了解珍惜当下的可贵。好多时候，当我们失去了，才明白它的重要性，那也已太迟了。

与他，曾吵了无数次地架，流过了数不尽地眼泪，那又如何。曾经想要与他白头偕老，白发斑斑地两人却还是手牵着手，一同漫步在那美丽而短暂地夕阳下，但那又如何。太多的是事抵不过现实的吹残，抵不过人性的脆弱。事情总不如想像中的圆满。。。有时候，会觉得是生活的无奈，有时候会觉得为何当初不肯再坚持多一点点，就只须那多一点点而已。。。虽然那多一点点不保证我们会得到我们所期望，但却至少我们曾经坚持过，曾经那么地把握过。遗憾至少会少点吧。。。

生活中，人来人往，说实在的，能遇到一个相知相识的另一半并不容易。在遇上了后能够相知相惜的更不容易。所谓百年修得同船渡，千年修得共枕眠，又有多少人真正地了解与在乎。好多好多的人们都觉得好多的事情都是理所当然的，就好像那一切好事发生都是应该的。

其实，没有什么是理所当然，更没什么是应该的。就在我们还在拥有的时候，好好珍惜这拥有，好好珍惜。。。千万别让自己回首过去时才后悔，那一切一切都太迟了。。。珍惜现在，若不是，我们并没有什么未来可言。

常听到， 人生苦短， 我们常为了将来的生活而打拼，不顾一切的就只希望为那未知所谓的将来，谱出一片彩虹，有个安稳的家与生活。却也因为这而忽略了好多生活中应该注重与在意的人与事。

还记得何时是你最后一次向你爱的人说声‘我爱你’？还记得有多久你没好好的望他一眼，告诉他你好想他；或是已经有多久你没好好的关心他，给他句温馨的话语，问他，最近的生活都还好吗？那常常缠绕着的胃病还一直都再吗？那不听话的头还常疼吗？有好多好多看似简单，却能让身边那最亲密的人感到万分的贴心与感动。人心，往往就会被那几句温柔的关心与问候而感动。

说似简单看似容易，却也是最容易让人忽略得不知不觉的。。。常说人在福中不知福，一句人人都能朗朗上口，却不能实践实行。好想每个人知道，幸福不是必然的，在你拥有却不珍惜的当下，它或许就在下一秒中消失得无影无踪，任你怎么后悔怎么知错都好，它却再也不会回来。所有的人与事，就像往事般，只剩下那一段段的回忆。。。就算你怎么伤心，觉得肝肠寸断，那所有的一切一切却也不会在回来。

与其在失去了才学会惜福，为何不趁现在还能拥有的时刻，好好的把握与珍惜。快看一看你那爱的人，握一握他的手，轻轻地告诉他，‘我好爱你’。。。‘永远永远地这么爱你’。。。。。。

有时候， 人生的起起落落， 总让人不知所措。。。有时失望， 有时开心，有时得意， 有时伤心。有多少的人正等待着雨过天晴，等待着黎明的到来，又有多少人正在伤心流泪，彷徨失措。。。

有时候，真的觉得好累，累得说不出话，累得让人喘不过气来，累得让人进退俩难，累得让人心灰意冷。

有时候，多希望能知道接下去的路该怎么走。是该往前走下去，还是该往后跑。该拐弯向左，还是转右。有时候那突然间发生的事，会让人惊慌失措，顿时失去重心，狠狠的跌了下去。。。

有时候，有些事，过去了就再也不能挽回。从国外回来以后，一直很怀念在那生活的日子。不知怎的，虽然在那生活并不怎么容易，可让我感到满足与开心，好想再回到那里去。想起在那生活的点点滴滴，总让我的心感觉到那一丝丝的宁静与珍惜。

有时候，你会怀疑你爱的人，是否也是这么的爱你吗？你与他的感情，是否会一直到永远，哪管是海枯石烂，都会比天长，比地久。有时你会不停的想，他对你的感情真的情比金坚吗？而我一直在想，执子之手，又是否能与子皆老。。。

有时候， 感觉到幸福遥不可及。。。它离我们好像太遥远了。。。有时候， 好想有个温暖的怀抱， 有个温柔的亲吻， 与一句关心的话语， 那幸福的感觉就会靠得很近，很近。但， 常常事与愿违， 人生一路走过的过程， 都不会那么的顺利。就像不论我们有多爱那朵花，它都有枯萎的一天； 不论我们有多不喜欢野草，它都会有生长的时候。就像不论我们有多努力，都捉不住那棵云朵，因为它永远都不属于我们的。。。是非对错，珍惜与否，各有说词，它不会有个一定的道理。该怎么去走那一段人生路， 就让一切顺其自然吧。。。

Ipoh City is the home to many a miner who has made a fortune during the heydays of tin. Once a small kampung with dilapidated buildings, Ipoh, a town that tin built, did not pass with the demise of the tin industry. Instead, it has grown with the country’s economy. Poised to become the focal point of industry, business, investment, education, and social activities, Ipoh reflects the overall progress and development that Perak is experiencing.

Bearing a close resemblance to its Kuala Lumpur counterpart, the Ipoh Railway Station is an impressive landmark, which combines Gothic and Moorish architecture with modern embellishments. Hence its nickname, the Taj Mahal of Ipoh. Its compound comprises of the famous “Ipoh Tree”, a poisonous tree whose sap is used by the natives in the olden days to make fatal darts for their blow pipes. Surrounded by a beautiful floral garden, it also serves as a charming welcome to visitors arriving by rail.

Opposite the railway station is a neocolonial style building. Adjacent to that is the Ipoh Clock Tower, which was erected in 1917 as a memorial to J.W.W. Birch, the first British Resident of the state who was assassinated by a group of Malay chieftains in Pasir Salak in 1875. Ironically, there is another memorial built on the very spot where Birch was assassinated, but this one is dedicated to the Malay warriors who murdered him.

Apart from Penang, Ipoh is the other name that is constantly at the tip of the tongue when the subject matter concerned is food. The early Chinese immigrants who poured into the state brought with them the cooking styles of their provinces, most of whom were from the southern provinces. These cooking styles blended well with the local air and a new breed of food came about, such as the Ipoh “Hor Fun” or flat rice noodles. The writer is also of the opinion that Ipoh has the best fish balls in the country.

Phuket lies off the west coast of Southern Thailand in the Andaman Sea, approximately 890km from Bangkok. It is Thailand’s largest island at 550sq km, roughly the same size as Singapore, and is surrounded by many smaller islands that add a further 70 sq km to its total land area. Phuket is separated from the mainland by the Chong Pak Phra channel at its northernmost point, where a causeway connects the island to the mainland.

Phuket is quite hilly. There are a few peaks above 500m, the highest being Mai Tao Sipsong at 529m. Many of these are covered in lush jungle. The lowlands consist of rice paddies, plantations of rubber, pineapple and coconut as well as the only significant area of rainforest remaining on the island, which is now protected as Khao Phra Thaeo Park.

The most beautiful beaches are found on the West coast, separated by rocky coves and headlands. The east coast comprises limestone shoals with only a few sandy beaches while spectacular limestone islands adorn the horizon. Coral gardens full of exotic marine life dot the emerald waters surrounding the island, although sadly much of Phuket’s coral has been disappearing due to environmental pressures and human activities.

Greater Melbourne is set around the shores of Port Phillip Bay, while the city centre is laid out in a large rectangle on the northern banks of the Yarra River, about five kilometres from the bay.

The soul of a city
This lively and cosmopolitan city combines a fanatical love for the creative arts and good living with a state-wide sports addiction to make a city like no other. Food, art, music, wine and football – is there anything else?

CBD
One glance at a map and it’s obvious that Melbourne is a planned city: a tidy, balanced grid of neatly angled streets. But beneath this lies a restless creative energy constantly pushing back at the city’s seeming conservatism. From Southbank and the Yarra to the Flinders and Greek Quarters, the CBD is made up of precincts – distinct enclaves each with its own flavour and charm.

City fringe
Extending around the bay are a number of inner suburbs, each with its own distinct character and personality. A short tram ride from the city centre, Melbourne’s suburban neighbourhoods are a must see for anyone wanting to experience what life here is really all about.

Pulau Lang Tengah or Lang Tengah Island off the coast of Terengganu is one of the nation’s well-kept secrets. Its arresting beauty can easily captivate you while you are there. Crystal clear sea-water, pristine beaches and untouched tropical jungle. Its arresting beauty lingers forever in your memory. An island you can call your own, private and tranquil.

Scuba diving and snorkelling
There are 12 dive sites around the island, with a depth of 7-26 metres and within 5-15 minutes’ boat ride from the resorts. At the nearby Redang, Perhentian and Bidong Islands, there are another 40 sites, within 30-45 minutes from Lang Tengah by boat.

One of the notable attractions for scuba divers at Lang Tengah is the possibility of sighting whale sharks or manta rays at certain times of the year. Turtles are present throughout the year as are barracudas and if you are lucky you may also spot a leopard shark.

Jungle trekking
For early risers, one of the best treks is the early morning trek to Batu Kuching (Cat’s rock) where you can watch the sunrise at 06:30 am. The trek takes around 30 minutes from the resorts and can also be done at any other time of day for beautiful views over the island and the surrounding sea.

Book a window seat for your flight to Sydney: day or night, this dirty town sure is good-lookin’. Skin-deep? Sure, but Sydney is also arty, sporty, boozy, funny, fashionable…the perfect paramour!

It’s little wonder that Sydney causes a brain drain on the rest of Australia. Like New York, London and Berlin, this is a place that draws in anyone who’s got something interesting to say. Australia’s best musos, foodies, actors, stockbrokers, models, writers and architects flock to the Harbour City to make their mark, and the effect is dazzling: a hyperenergetic, ambitious marketplace of the soul, where anything goes and everything usually does.

Of course, the stage for all this activity is just as important as the performance itself. Shimmering Sydney Harbour is the city’s greatest asset, while Sydney’s ocean beaches and lush parks sustain as much life as the city streets. Add hip bars, grungy pubs, breezy cafes and glass-walled restaurants to the equation, and you’ve got a town with the perfect balance of outdoor and indoor, natural and contrived.

Paddle out into it and see what kind of trouble you can get into: get dumped by breakers at Bondi, chew chicken’s feet in Chinatown, max out your credit card in Paddington, drink too many beers in Balmain, queue-jump for Opera House tickets and ignore dawn’s break at a Kings Cross club. Sexy, spirited and unfailingly self-confident, Sydney is a bonfire of the vanities just waiting for you to light the match.
