Spirit of Humanity


















I have created this postcard after the Tzunamai Disaster for creative postcard club US. All rights reserved, ally's hang out. Posted by Picasa

To be frank, I was stuck and had no idea which theme or concept to use for this postcard design. The year of 2004 was a turbulent year. There were many disasters happening in Asia and other parts of the world. Our so called neighbors lost their loved ones, their homes, they have no clean clothes to wear, no food to eat, and their hearts are deeply broken. How do you feel while sitting on the couch watching TV, playing soccer in the field, drinking clean water or showering with essential oil cleanser on your skin? What have you done to console?

During this period of time I came across this organization called Tzu Chi by Dharma master Cheng Yen, I was inspired by what they have done to help the victims, truly amazing!

Master Cheng Yen: “A stream of purity which started out as but a drop was able to grow & sip into every corner of the world purifying human hearts and transforming the turbulent minds of people in this world. To do this, the spirit of humanity is needed.”

The postcard was design with the mixed feelings in my heart. I wanted to help and I took the first step by donating some money and also getting involved in the activities to help. I hope you can too! Let's spread the loving kindness to the world.

Whom do you think I look like?

A couple of weeks ago, daddy and I were sort of discussing whom does bb look like. “Of coz me la” He claimed. Hehe… not only me but also most of my friends think bb looks very much like me. Daddy used to be upset when people said “lucky your son looks like mother”. He damn not syiok whenever people say that. He would complaint to me why those people talk lidat one. Hehehe…so today I am inviting you as the judge. Left: Mommy said she was very fond of the scissors, look at her hair, hehe...she snipped her own hair when she was that young. Right: Daddy was a goody-good student, look at how handsome he was with that tie :) That's me. I think I look very much like mom, so what say you? Who does BB look like?

Update

Gosh! He is still crying after 2 weeks. I spoke to my sister a couple of days ago telling her my concern over bb’s behaviour. When ask by daddy or mil whether he cries in school; bb’s answer is always “NO! I never cry”, uttered with confidence. In fact, he cries furiously when I drop him to school daily. His excuses before leaving with the teacher are either, “I want to go back or I want mommy or I want my kakak…”. Sis told me to boil an egg and keep it in his school bag; he will be okay in 2 weeks. Err…I have no idea why, it was a myth she heard from elder woman to soothes kids from crying to school. Has anyone heard of this tale before? Does it work was my immediate question to her. Well obviously, she said it worked for her 3rd child. I am very doubtful la but still I asked Sri to boiled one this morning for bb to bring to school. I am keeping my fingers cross. *counting- 1,2 3, 4, 5….eggs need to be boiled b4 he stops crying, wah, who is gonna eat those eggs???* Of late, I have bee...

Runaway

Dark hue befriended me this entire week. I was not “In the mood for work”. Everything around me seemed so quiet and static but not the noise in my head. I planned to runaway- escaping the pollution to treat my spirit to a little spa. (During off hour) Hah! I put on my headphones with (林宇中- 靠岸) playing. I am “In the mood of beading”, it has been a while since I last beaded. It is amazing to see lil meaningless beads evolving into something beautiful and useful. I am attempting for more exciting pieces soon. I think those rings look cute. What do you think? It is okay if you think otherwise as the saying goes beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
