BBQ

Today, fellow members of Chinese Orchestra had a very 'pleasant' bbq at Taman Selera. It started from 8.30am and was supposed to end at 12pm.Maybe you'll wonder how 'pleasant' it was. Let me tell you, when I arrived at the barbecue spot, which was at the very very far end of the beach, quite near to the cliff, the guys were already TRYING to make a fire with 2 cigarette lighter. Apparently, it was very difficult to make the coals burn long enough to cook anything. The wind was quite strong at that time, maybe that's why the fire kept saying bye bye to us. Then, leaving those guys behind to deal with fire, other members skipped off to the beach to make sandcastles and drawings. We must have played for about an hour before Tiffany called us back for breakfast. At that time, the guys still hadn't get the fire blazing. Luckily we all brought cooked food, otherwise we might have to wait until evening for our breakfast.

Madam Lau and her 2 little kids arrived and so we ate under the seemingly nice weather. Then, the guys cheered as a decent small fire stayed alive. We helped by fanning the fire like crazy. Suddenly, we all felt little drops of water falling on us. Soon, big drops of water replaced the small ones and we ran into the hut bringing all the food. However, despite the heavy rain, three brave guys would not let their hard work being wasted. So, we stayed sheltered from the rain while watching them struggling to keep the fire burning with paper fans and 2 umbrellas. Now you know how 'great' this bbq gathering was.


火种是不会灭的。Thanks to those guys' strong wills, the fire burned well and we helped when the rain was smaller. I mentioned that this gathering was supposed to end at 12pm, however, with the rain coming from time to time and the wind blowing relentlessly, it was held on past 1 pm. Those who could wait after 12pm, would get lots of hot dogs, fish balls, chicken wings and roasted pork. XD This bbq was certainly one of the best I had in my life, and also the most unforgettable. Bbq in rain...lol, next time, make sure you watch the weather forecast before having a bbq.

Canvas

We all have brushes called "being ourselves".
Look, with just a little bravery you can change it into any colour.
Lets draw our hopes.

How far does this sky continue? The world we know is so narrow.
When we hear somebody's voice calling for help,
we decide to pretend we didn't hear it.
By fighting we reaffirm the worth of our existence
and then find doubt in our hearts.
Finding differences to not be "individualities" but "enemies".
We become stubborn and push others away.
Our relationships with people become dominating
and not something that tie together.
Hold my hands and listen to my voice.

The world becomes colourful.
You don't have to hate since you can bond beautifully.
There are no useless lives, let's accept each other.
The infinitely extending canvas becomes dyed in hope.

We all have brushes called "being ourselves".
Look, with just a little bravery you can change it into any colour.
Lets draw our hopes.

p.s I post the lyrics of one song I like coz it's quite meaningful. Families, friends and partners are bonds which make our lives wonderful❤
