世界真美丽!
04 Jan 2012 1 Comment
I was watching a UK series called World’s Greatest Motorbike Rides last night on a newly discovered channel called Travel Channel ( jialat, so long not at home i don’t even know what channels we subscribe to on the Mio Tv thing). The host of the show did a 2000mile journey on his Harley Davidson along firstly the Eastern coast of NZ donwards from Auckland, before venturing further into Napier, Wellington and subsequently the second half of NZ, down to the tip of Inverncargill and further up again. At the same time, my friend texted to tell me that our beloved Channel 8 was screening a similar travel programme about Sri Lanka. The show was called 世界真美丽 and i really cannot agree more with this.. The sheer majesty of the earth is really beyond my imagination.. 世界真美丽 and it makes me wonder in amazement how these places were created by the hands of our maker. but somehow humans have the inclination to explore and conquer all these “natural places” when we might not even belong there to begin with. But without these expeditions, I would have never gotten to come to contact with all these beautiful places on earth. Without the accessiblity of transport and networks, I may never be able to gain entry into stepping on these grounds, much less watch them from my TV screen..
Talk on the plunder of nature always gets me excited. and morally challenged.. ):

Reading your Christmas day blog entry and this entry gave me the impression that your heart is still ‘wandering’. Yearning for opportunities to explore the world and to interact with people from all walks of life. This is a good desire to have especially for a young mind.
I think you should really consider going overseas to further your study. Given your ability to express yourself in the english language and your liking to think and articulate your thoughts, I think you can go very far with a good training to develop the analytical and conceptual abilities of your mind through a good PhD program.
Or you can choose to be bold and become enterprising in all your future endeavors, i.e. go the path that is less walked upon. That I am sure will be out of your comfort zone (as it is out of mine too). But then again, we all learnt the most when we are outside of our comfort zone, don’t we?
