MAAFKAN MEREKA. BUKAN ITU YANG MEREKA PINTA
.

Pada waktu² sekarang, jika pesanan makanan kita lambat sampai, jangan batalkan pesanan atau tidak angkat call kerana marah akibat menunggu terlalu lama.

Ada rider yang beritahu, mereka akan dikenakan tindakan sekiranya lambat atau dapat complaint daripada pelanggan. Jadi mereka terpaksa bawa motor dengan lajunya.
.

Cuba kita fahami cabaran dan risiko tugas mereka. Jika ditanya, sudah pasti jawapan mereka adalah untuk menghantar pesanan tersebut ke pelanggan secepat yang mungkin. Terima kasih kerana memahami mereka.

Gambar dikirimkan oleh seorang rakan (tidak pasti lokasinya) menunjukkan kejadian di mana seorang penghantar makanan jatuh tersungkur kerana hujan...jalan licin.

Orang awam yang ada di situ membantu beliau bangun dan angkat motor semula. Apa yang menyentuh hati adalah beliau tidak periksa badan sendiri sama ada luka atau pun tidak. Apa yang dicari dahulu adalah ‘food box’ pada motor. Beliau memastikan makanan yang dibawa tidak tumpah sebelum mengambil telefon bimbit beliau yang terpelanting jauh.

Kita mudahkan urusan orang, Allah mudahkan urusan kita.

Kasut kita tak sama, kawan.

Forgive them. That's not what they ask for
.

On the now, if our food order is late, don't cancel the order or not pick up the call because it's angry due to waiting too long.

There are riders who tell, they will be charged if late or get complaint from customers. So they had to take a motorbike with the.
.

Try to understand the challenges and risks of their duties. If asked, definitely their answer is to send the order to the customer as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding them.
.

Picture sent by a friend (not sure the location) shows the incident where a food conductor fell down due to rain... Smooth Road.

The public who was there helped him wake up and lift the motor again. What touches the heart is that he doesn't check his own body whether it's a wound or not. What was wanted first was the 'food box' on the motor. He made sure the food brought was not spilled before taking his long-blown cell phone.
.

We ease people's affairs, Allah ease our affairs.

Our shoes are not the same, friends.

哇！終於在哈薩克的找到我們最愛、最想要居住的中亞城市❤️ 好吃、好玩、又先進舒適👍

可以從這邊直接搭夜巴進去烏魯木齊的前哈薩克首度— Almaty 阿拉木圖完全就是一個國際都市😍 不只交通便利、食物好吃而且夠水準、周圍又有許多戶外活動！真心讓人覺得可以在此耍費一個多禮拜😆

阿拉木圖也被稱為「蘋果之都」🍎 據說最初蘋果是從這裡出產的！而且在城市外圍也可以看到野生蘋果樹🌳 只不過我嘗試了一次感覺有點桑桑的，應該是季節不對吧😆

在這裡我們嘗試了在電視曾看過的俄羅斯浴三溫暖 Banya ♨️ 當地人還真的拿著葉子互相拍打對方以及自己身體各處增加血液循環😆 York 也付錢體驗一下，而我則是給人用土耳其浴。在一個房間與其他女人裸體給人刷全身真的是蠻秒的🤣

我們還帶了 York 去聽了他人生第一場歌劇💃 最好的位置一人才 USD$6！明明看海報好像很西方，結果表演開始才發現是穿傳統遊牧民族服裝。整個大傻眼...😅 早知道就花多點錢看芭蕾舞劇🥿

食物的話有道馬肉的佳餚叫做 Beshbarmak🐴 在吉爾吉斯導遊說只有鄉下婚禮才吃得到，結果在哈薩克這裡一堆高檔點的餐廳都有😆 馬肉本身就比較貴，但是水煮方式實在是吃不出差別啊... 🤣

除此之外，還在連鎖披薩店吃到我覺得夠水準的薄皮披薩🍕 這裡食物已經跟台灣差不多了，但由於水準夠，餐廳環境都很舒適，所以願意付這些錢😛

阿拉木圖附近有許多戶外場所，只要一個多小時的公車加纜車，就可以到滑雪場 ⛸️ 難怪許多人都想要搬來這裡😆

不過我覺得最神奇還是俄羅斯 APP www.2gis.ru ❤️ 可以下載離線地圖、完整的查離線公車路線以及時間表😲 不像 Google 離線就無法查大眾交通路線😕 這裡雖然有地鐵，但是公車方便到根本不需要搭別的交通工具 🚌 連我這個愛走路的人都經不起搭公車的誘惑😜

總而言之，好喜歡阿拉木圖啊！你們也有什麼城市是讓你覺得會愛上，想要長居的城市呢？😊

Finally found a Central Asia city we LOVE😍

That is Kazakhstan's ex-capital "Almaty", also known as the "Apple City"🍎 Apparently apples are originated from here and even now in the out skirts of Almaty you can still find wild apple trees 🌳

The moment we arrived in the city, we were surprised by the ease of www.2gis.ru APP 😲 It's a Russian App that's available offline with bus routes, etc🚌 I'd say it's better than Google Map as Google Map can't be used offline to find real-time public transports😕

The buses come so often we didn't felt the need to use metro & walk 2km back to our hostel😬

Then there's the food😍 OMG being in Almaty is like being in a Western country without paying the Western prices😋

I actually had a good thin crusted pizza in a chained pizzeria 🍕 Tried all the traditional Kazak food that we had to try including several horse meat dishes & drinks 🐴

Took York to his first opera as the front row ticket was only USD$6💃 However, turns out it was a Kazak version with traditional outfits 😬 The story like was 2 men fighting over one girl...🤦 While it was interesting but certainly wasn't entertaining 😅 Probably should've picked Nutcracker the ballet instead..🤣

Another highlight of this trip was to experience the Russian Banya (Steam room)♨️ York got to experience the "banya besom" where a bath broom typically made with the branches and leaves of a tree or shrub which secretes aromatic oils is use to hit (massage) the circulation🧹

I got my long wished hammam where I got scrubbed together with all these other naked women 🧖 In that -10℃ weather, the Arasan Baths built in 1980s with a modernistic Soviet style was a real treat😁

People in Almaty are also blessed with being so close to nature! Visited the Medeo ski rink only 45 mins bus ride from the city🚌 Built in 1972, it was used to train figure skating and can hold up to 1000 skaters⛸️

Further up is the Chimbulak Ski resort where it's only a cable line away from Medeo ski rink😌 It's cheaper to rent your ski gears in town and bring it with you up there😊

On the day we left we also hiked up the Kok Tobe mountain just behind our hostel to see the panoramic view of Almaty🏃⛰️

Obviously being in the city reminded us that our original plan was to go into China from here☹️ Don't know when will we ever complete the great silk road journey after this long getaway...🐫

Overall we really enjoyed this city and can definitely stay here and do nothing for two weeks if our trip is indefinite 🤣

Some travel info:
• International mini bus from Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) direct to Almaty (Kazakhstan) is only 400 som & takes 4 hours.
• The metro is 80 tenge (didn't use it)
• The bus is 80 tenge with Onay card and 150 tenge with cash.
• Every car can be a taxi, can just haul it down

《習慣這兩個字》(English writing below)

今天您向自己的命運說了什麼話？

一位師姐買了師父數十本新書，想在自己的臉書送出一部份。她興致勃勃地說要分享師父的直播。

師父斥責她，學佛這麼久，為何不自己寫一篇貼文去介紹書籍，而要用分享功能？

她吞吞吐吐地說：「我不知道要怎麼寫⋯⋯」

師父說，學佛就是教我們如何用腦去思考，懶得用腦而祇會東分享西分享，貪方便貪快走捷徑，根本就沒用心學佛。

後來，我跟這位師姐說，天底下還是有許多男人看不起女人，因為覺得我們女人不怎麼聰明。她先生遲遲不與她在生意合作，也正是因為覺得她沒有這能力。（其實她有許多方面的能力是強過先生的）

想想看，一個女子習慣在自己的臉書上，寫些今天到哪裡玩，明天在哪間咖啡座吃蛋糕，讓他人覺得自己多享受生活。這些都祇是勾起眾生享樂的欲望，引他們去耗掉自己的福份。這女子已當了差不多一輩子的佛教徒。某天，想突破自己習慣，去勸善，教大家如何補福的時候，卻又說不懂、不會、不知道，我做媽的一定很難過，供妳上學讀書二十年，妳都讀了些什麼啊？一個大學生怎麼講出這麼不爭氣的話？！

我有時想，這應該也是為何我們佛教徒「遜色」於基督教徒的原因。在介紹自己的宗教方面，我們好像就沒有他們的膽量和口才。是我們太習慣含蓄和隨緣，而辜負給予我們心靈力量的佛教嗎？

上個週末，在餐館用餐時，聽到一位婦人和家人聚餐時，不停地說：「這些東西在這裡吃好吃，我買食材回去，都沒有煮。為什麼啊？」

然後又自己接著說：「哎呀，習慣了啦，習慣了咯！」

我聽了，頓時覺得有點悲從中來。

多少客人在我面前，講過類似的話，還講得不亦樂乎。有時，我會反問他們：「那你來找我幹嘛？何必浪費我的時間又浪費你自己的錢？我來不是來聽你講這些掃興的話。你要講這樣的話，回家講。

你想想一下，你今天來難道是要我跟你講，對咯，是這樣的啦？既然不是，那你講話要用腦，想過了才講。你看你幾歲的人了。不會講就不要亂講，亂亂講祇會亂了自己的命運，划得來嗎？」

人祇所以會「賤命」，有時是因為自己嘴巴「賤」。

習慣講

「不知道」
「不會」
「不懂」
「沒想過」
「習慣了啦」
「我都那麼老了」
「隨便咯」
「哦，是嗎？」
「沒想那麼遠啦」
「是這樣的嘛」
「認命咯」
「我的命是這樣的」

不知道，要問。
不會，就要學。
不懂，可以多了解。
沒想過，現在去想。
習慣，就要突破盲點。
老了，就不用好命嗎？幹嘛要折磨自己？
隨便？你還嫌你過去一生不夠隨便嗎？
哦，是嗎？是啊，要不然呢？
沒想那麼遠，現在不再想，你就來不及了。
是這樣，也可以是那樣，那樣明明比較好，不要笨得還要這樣。
認命？大哥，你搞錯了，命是拿來「認」識，然後再去改的。
不要死腦筋，以為命運是這樣就沒別的路可以走。

今早，我向一位舊客人說：「你有沒有想過你的婚姻這樣這樣，也會影響到你的孩子將來會以為婚姻就是這樣？」

他答：「我沒有想過。」

我們的命運，會牽連身邊很多的人，包括自己的最愛。

習慣說某種話，也是從一個念頭開始的。

而念頭是可以改變的。

走出去，就有路。念頭轉一下，就有生機。

還有七天便進入2019年了，我祝願大家，不要怕吃苦，不要抗拒改變習慣，不要敗給自己的命運。

無論前面的山有多高，無論前面的路有多崎嶇，有我的幫忙，你一定能夠平安喜樂的度過。這是我給妳你的保證。

⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯

What have you told your Destiny today?

A Dharma Sister bought tens of Shifu's new book. She wanted to give out some of them through her Facebook platform and was telling Shifu how she would do it by sharing his FB Live.

Unexpectedly, Shifu reprimanded her. Since she had been learning the Dharma for a period of time, why didn't she try writing a post to introduce the book, but instead take to using the share function?

Most of us would know that sharing on FB doesn't generate much interest as posts we write ourselves.

She hesitantly replied, "I don't know how to write..."

Shifu said, to learn the Dharma is to learn how to use our brains to think. If we are lazy to exercise our brain conigitive ability, and resort to taking the shortcut u sharing here and there, for the sake of convenience and speed, then we have actually never put our heart in learning the Dharma.

Later on, I also told this Dharma Sister that in this world, there were still many men who looked down on women for our perceived lack of intelligence. Her Husband had hesitated to work together with her in his business because he felt she lacked the ability. Fact was, there were many areas she excelled in compared to her Husband.

Think about this, a lady, who is used to writing on her Facebook where she went to play today and which cafe she is going tomorrow to have cake, is just conveying how much she is enjoying her life. All these will only evoke the desire of hedonism in others, luring them to exhaust their good fortune.

Say one day, this lady has a momental thought to do good and preach about it. She haa been a Buddhist almost all her life. She wants to change her habitual FB posts to one that teaches others how to top up their good fortune, but that momental thought is swiftly replaced with a "I don't know how". If I am her mother, I would be so upset. Having funded her through school for 20 years, what had she been studying? How can a university graduate utter such disappointing words?

I sometimes think this is why we Buddhists often "lose" to our Christian counterparts. They seem to be more fearless and eloquent in talking about their religion than us Buddhists. Are we too used to being docile, that we let down the religion that helped us up?

Last weekend, while dining in a restaurant, I overheard the conversation of one elderly who was having dinner with her family.

She was saying this repeatedly, "This food is so nice when I eat here. When I buy the raw ingredients back to cook, I just never get about doing it. Why hah?"

And then she continued her monologue, "Aiyah, it's a habit lah. Habit already lah!"

Upon hearing it, I felt a momentary sense of grief.

So many clients have said something similar in front of me, and some of them seemed to get so much joy in saying it, as if it justifies everything that have happened in their lives.

Sometimes, I would ask them, "Then why do you look for me? Why waste my time and your money? I come all the way here not to hear you speak in this killjoy manner. If you want to talk like this, do it at home.

Think about this for a minute. Did you come here today to hear me say, yeah, it's like this lah? No, right? Then use your brain before you speak. Look at how old you are now. If you don't know how to say, don't talk nonsensically. This will only mess up your Destiny. Will it be worth it?

Sometimes, the reason why a person has a lousy Destiny is because he or she has a lousy way of speaking.

He or she habitually says things like,

"Don't know."
"Don't know how."
"Don't understand."
"Never thought of it before."
"I'm used to it."
"I'm so old already!"
"Whatever"
"Oh, is it?"
"Got to succumb to life."
"My Destiny is like this."

If you don't know, you must ask.
If you don't know how, then you should learn.
If you don't understand, you can go figure it out.
If you never think about it before, think about it now.
If you are used to something, it's time to breakthrough from your blind points.

So what if you are old? Does that mean there's no need to have a better life? Why choose to torture yourself when you can have better fortune?

Whatever? You think you have not been "whatever-ing" enough? Look where you end up now.
Oh is it? Yes it is. Abo then?

If you have planned ahead, it's time to do so now before it's too late

It's like this? It can also be like that. When "that" is better, don't be foolish to continue like "this".

Succumb to your Destiny? Our destiny is for us to recognise ourselves, and then turn things around.

Don't be blockheaded and think that there is no other way out of your Destiny.

For this who think it's troublesome to change, let me tell you this, your mindset is going to haunt you in your many subsequent rebirths. If you don't get rid of your limiting beliefs, it will be more painful to live the same Destiny, again and again and again.

This morning, I was asking an old client, "Have you ever thought that your marriage like this will influence your child, into thinking that marriages are supposed to be like this?"

His reply, "I never thought of it."

Our destiny has huge repercussions on the many people around us, including our loved ones.

Our habit of saying something begins from a thought.

And a thought can always be changed .

You will find a road ahead when you decide to take the first step and walk out.

You will find Spring again when you can turn your thoughts around.

7 more days before 2019 rolls in. I wish that you will not be afraid of hardship, not be resistant to changing your habits, and most importantly, not to be defeated by your own Destiny.

No matter how high the mountain is, no matter how windy the road ahead may be, with my help, you can always cross your hurdles with ease and joy. That is my assurance to you.

Rasheed Wallace tipped a ball into the wrong basket at one end and missed two free throws at the other.


Just when it seemed like his fourth-quarter mistakes might doom Detroit, Wallace hit back-to-back 3-pointers that gave the Pistons the lead for good and sent them to a 107-102 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night.

"That really hurt my feelings, that tip," Wallace said. "You can't let that frustrate you. I missed two point-blank foul shots. I'm upset at myself about that. You can't let that one thing get you down. That's what we did, just dug deep and came up with some stops down the stretch."

Richard Hamilton scored 24 points and Allen Iverson added 23 as the Pistons won for the second straight time to open their four-game road trip after losing their first two games with Iverson.

But just like in Tuesday night's win in Sacramento, the Pistons started slowly before turning it on defensively in the second half. With a game against the undefeated Los Angeles Lakers coming up Friday night, Detroit is looking for a complete game to extend that winning streak.

"The best part about it is we struggled at times in the game but we got it done," Iverson said. "We're going into the next game with some confidence. We're on a back-to-back so it's important for us to go get our rest and get ready to play. It's going to be a good measuring stick for us."

Golden State trailed by nine early in the fourth quarter but took the lead when Wallace tipped a missed shot by C.J. Watson into the wrong basket. Andris Biedrins was credited with the basket that gave Golden State an 87-86 lead. Wallace then missed two free throws on the other end and the Warriors extended the lead to four points.

But with Detroit down by two, Wallace hit a 3-pointer to give the Pistons the lead for good. After Watson stepped over the sideline for an inbound violation, Wallace hit another from long range to make it 96-92 with just over 3 minutes remaining.

"I know he was upset when he missed those two free throws," Tayshaun Prince said. "Normally if you go back to him he will try to respond. He was able to do that."

Wallace finished with a season-high 19 points and 11 rebounds. Prince grabbed a career-high 16 rebounds.

The mistake by Watson on the inbound was one of the final ones on a blunder-filled night by both teams that featured 33 turnovers and many other miscues.

"First of all, the point guard's not supposed to take the ball out," coach Don Nelson said. "It was an error by a young player. Iverson just faked like he was going to go for a steal and he did a dumb thing. It's not the only one he did but he actually played a pretty good game."

Biedrins had 17 points and 19 rebounds for his 16th straight double-double for the Warriors, who are still seeking their first back-to-back wins of the season. Watson and Stephen Jackson also scored 17 points apiece.

But Golden State made only one 3-pointer for the game and shot just 35 percent in the second half.

"We can't win if I go out and shoot 6-for-20," Jackson said. "It's going to be hard for us to win, point blank."

The Warriors built a 12-point lead early in the third quarter as they got into the lane and the foul line with ease. Detroit committed the first five fouls of the quarter, with Corey Maggette taking 10 free throws in the first 5:03. But a missed dunk by Biedrins that could have made it a 13-point game seemed to spark Detroit.

Iverson scored quickly on the other end and Arron Afflalo hit a 3-pointer to cut the lead to six. That started a 17-2 run that gave Detroit a 75-71 lead. Afflalo scored eight points during the spurt, including the final five.

The Warriors committed turnovers on five straight possessions during the run. They didn't make a field goal for the final 5:41 of the third quarter, falling behind 80-73 heading into the fourth. By the time Ronny Turiaf hit a jumper early in the fourth, the Warriors had missed 11 straight shots and gone 6:50 without a basket.

"Obviously that was a typical Detroit team in the second half," Prince said. "In the first half, I don't know what that was. We've done it two games in a row. Obviously we're not on the same page yet."

Game notes
Maggette had 13 points in his first game back after missing four games with a strained left hamstring. ... Pistons G Rodney Stuckey worked out before the game and is expected to play Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Stuckey missed the first two games of the road trip after undergo tests for being lightheaded and dizzy. ... Detroit coach Michael Curry made a lineup change, starting Kwame Brown for the first time this season and bringing Amir Johnson off the bench. Curry said he would stick with this lineup for the time being.
