If she happened to see this, she will sure scolded me:' 神经病啊!给我拿下来!’
Then I will replied her:'这么美，没有关系啦!' ^^
And she will continued:'什么没关系？!给我拿下来huh!!' O_o
I will then said:' ok, 明天拿下来.' but I don't think I will did that. ha.=P
She always told me that:' 每次想到你的事，一整个晚上不能睡觉。'
I always said:'不用担心啦!我很好.'
She will told me:'那份工那么好, 你为什么。。。'
Initially I will said:'我真的很讨厌哪份工。' then, a lot of comments started from the other end of phone.
Now I said:'我已经回到工作岗位了.'
Then she change topic:' 你什么时候找个男朋友？我不能一直在你身边。'
Previously, I told her:' 不可能让我随便在街上找个就嫁掉吧？'
Now, I told her:'很多人不知道要选谁.'
Then, she will said:'噢~要看好好，不要选错人。' ^^
My mum is gentle, even though sometime she is very strict to her children.. She knew how to communicate with me to make me follow her wish.Now, I have learned the way to communicate with her, so that, she feel better, and I can still carry out with my things. ^^
One day, she called me and said:' 你可以打电话给我告诉我你今天吃了什么，做了什么呀!这样我才知道你的生活怎么样.'
When listened to this, I can't really talk at that moment. I felt her loneliness... ...
Then she continued to say:'像戏里面的人那样。。。'
Oh my God!!. =_=lll
She stayed with my Dad and the two nieces in Johor. She is now very busy with the two little 'monster'. ^^ I will back to Johor once in a month. I still can't spend much time with her now. I'm so afraid when she really need me I can't even spend a minutes with her. Therefore, working very hard to build a future where I can spend 24 hours with her when she needs me. ^^
"Happy Paradise" is a popular charity song from the 80's. It has been well-known among communities, both in Taiwan and China, for the past few decades. We are proud to present SUSPECT Director Keng-Ming Liu's latest work, which combines paper crafts and stop-motion techniques to re-interpret this classic song in celebration of Rock Records' 30th Anniversary.
Due to the scope of my work , I have been visiting many food manufacturing factories, and farms.
I have never seen such a great farming system. Nutrilite Farm---The real organic farm that inspire me. While searching in the internet, there are too many information appears in front of me.
They implementing Good Agriculture Practice (GAP), which is already a very high standard program, especially in US. Yet they set a requirement of all the farms supplying botanical materials adhere to the NUTRICERT farm certification program – ensuring that these farms adhere to Nutrilite's own organic farming philosophy, guided by sustainable, organic principles.
Crops used for Nutrilite supplements are grown using organic and sustainable farming methods. Instead of relying on harmful pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizes, they let nature do the work.
The organic farming methods used to produce ingredients are more costly and more labour intensive than conventional commercial farming , but they offer enormous advantages. By focusing on long-term sustainability, instead of short term yields. They produce healthy crops without damaging the earth and the environment. They believe that best supplement begins with the best plant.
To implement a organic farm standard is not easy. To achieve this objective we need a very powerful support from the Top Management and also the workers. There are a lot of farm claiming themselves as organic farm, but when I went to visit them, there are still far behind from the standard. They 'look like' but they are NOT.
When study about the Nutrilite farming technique, I was soon be attracted by their philosophy and commitment to grow the best plant that led to development of one of the industry's most extensive organic farming operations. Here are some implementation that I am so impress！！^^
Integrated pest management(in chinese: 天敌法):-
Integrated pest management (IPM) is an integrated approach of crop management to solve ecological problems when applied in agriculture.
These methods are performed in three stages: prevention, observation, and intervention. It is an ecological approach with a main goal of significantly reducing or eliminating the use of pesticides while at the same time managing pest populations at an acceptable level.
The emphasis is on control, not eradication.Should a pest reach an unacceptable level, mechanical methods are the first options to consider. They include simple hand-picking, erecting insect barriers, using traps, vacuuming, and tillage to disrupt breeding.Using biological controls,promoting beneficial insects that eat target pests.They use ladybirds, green lacewing, spiders, predator birds like hawks, owls, bats and so on.
(you browse to this webpage www.nutrlite-farm.com to know more about the pest control in nutrilite farm. It is in Chinese and game approach ^^ )
Soil Management:-
It concerns all operations, practices and treatments used to protect soil and enhance its performance.a soil that functions effectively today and will continue to produce crops long into the future.
They implement crop rotation, nutrient-rich organic compost(derived from decomposed plant materials), soil microbes, "green manure" crops (i.e. clover and vetch are grown and ploughed back into the soil to increase nutrients and improve the soil structure) and earthworms(the key players in soil health, which they enrich the soil as they ingest, decompose and deposit casts continuously.)
No soil or environmental contamination, such as using genetically modified organisms. The idea is to protect the farms from potential sources of contamination from neighboring farms.
grazing livestock in between plantings will reduce weeds and enrich the soil with biological nutrients.
In-depth quality control standards, including proper documentation of farm inputs, traceability of crop sources, written plans to avoid contamination and control pests, and a quality assurance program for farm products sold.
What I admire the best is that we could actually find a small ecosystem in this organic farm. You can see lake, trees, river, different species of plants and fauna, human, etc.
They built a healthy social environment around the farm, providing farm employees with the opportunity for personal development, including education and training. They build school, clinic, and other facilities in the community. They create harmony atmosphere in the community. The farmers are certified as the organic farmer.^^
My father's quest began in1915 in China.
There he observed that people who lived in rural areas seemed
to be healthier than people in the cities,
and he soon made the connection between plant-based nutrition and improved health.
When my father returne to the United States in 1927,
he set up makeshift multimineral products based on plant mterials.
In 1940s, my father leased a two-acre farm in the San Fernando Valley
to grow alfalfa and other plant materials without using
synthetic pesticides or herbicides.
He called his natural methods "Nutrilite farming Practices"
and we have used those methods ever since to ensure that
we remain in control of the quality of our products
' from the seed to the finished supplement'.--Dr. Sam Rehnborg
(Note:-After reading a book named " The Nutrilite Story- past, present, future".
I got to know that the knowledge of the Tradisional Chinese Medicine,TCM had been studied and introduced by Dr. Carl Rehnborg into the Nutrilite products. There were 'ying' and 'yang' and also the 'qi' concept. This is pretty surprise. He even read the book '神农本草经'.)
This is more than a Organic Farm！Awesome！This is the reason why I said I have never experience such a powerful organic system before. Yet this is only the 'seed'. They control over plant ingredients from the seed to finished supplement, 150 product and packaging patents and industry leadership in phytonutrient product formulation.
In 2009, they celebrate their 75th anniversary.
Implementing a standard into a food factory or a farm is actually creating a ripple in the whole supply chain. Food Factory/Farm --- Intermediate Suppliers --- Main Suppliers from local or oversea.
By setting supplier requirements/ purchasing specifications, the supplier will be forced to improve their system. More safe food will be produced.
However... unfortunately... most of them think that this is costly, impossible, wasting time, hard to manage, etc. So, what else you think is good ? When a problem come to you? or When somebody out there die because of you?
I love drawing since childhood. Mum gave me a unused diary /note book and a pencil and I started to draw. I drew mountain, birds, sun, cloud, trees, flowers, butterflies, bees,etc...Anything that I found around my house area.
At that time, there was a forest in front of our house. Cool air and also lots of unexpected "friends" will came to our house anytime. There were once a big spider(as big as the kid's bicycle wheel) came into our house, since then, I was so afraid of spider! Until today I still can't accept it. =_=
This is just like how I love drawing ^^ until today I still continue to draw and enjoy it very very much!!
Parents send me for an art class when I was standard 3. I had had learning with the teacher for 9 years. 陈哲冰老师. She is a great teacher to me even until today. A very beautiful lady with long, very long hair. ^^ (If anybody knew 齐豫，she look like her style.) With her guidance, I won the Gold Reward in Japan World Children Painting Competition in consecutive two years !! ^^
During University, I had done lot of sketching using people's photos.^^ It ain't easy. (for me.) It took me one or two days to complete one. ha! goodness. =P
"You like painting but it doesn't mean that you have talent in it. However, practice made perfect!!" (this was told to me by a teacher when I continued to learn art at his art studio after graduated from University. ) 子健老师. He had taught me how to draw a picture to look like a real one. Amazing! So grateful to him! The technique that he taught influenced my way of painting until today. ^^
I have come across with lots of very good teacher along the process of learning art. In year 2009, I started to draw comics. Wau!! Another new try for me. New knowledge and techniques in drawing. This is another world of art for me. Complicated but interesting. ^^史美星老师.とても 可愛いの人。^^ haha
Through him I got chances to explore more regards the local comic industry. Even though not as happening as the oversea market, but their stories really touch me. Is a Dream people pursue, is their Persistence, and is always True, Sincere.
The road is still far and future is unpredictable but believe in what you have not seen...Whatever you do today, decide who you are tomorrow. ^^
Still, they always show their smiling face to you...
Show you the best of them.
Included all pictures above, these are some of the flowers planted in our garden. ^^
My parents like to plant flowers in the garden beside the house.
Every time when almost all the flowers blossom , butterflies, bees, birds coming and the garden become so happening ^^ This may be the reason why I love flower so much！！
When I stood among them, I feel good. When the wind blow, I can feel their gentle gaze. ^^
Some flower photos taken while in Japan. Sweet and beautiful！ 美しい ^^
Some pictures from a Japanese drama named: Kaze no garden
This is Campanula Wedding Bell, I got to know lot of flower's names in this drama. So great！！^^
