A Story of Emotions

"Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feeling lived:

Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love.

One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?"

Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"

"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat, " Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."

"Oh..........Love, I am so sad that I need to be myself!"

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love. I will take you." It was an elder.

So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder.

Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who helped me?"

"It was Time," Knowledge answered.

"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered,

"Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is"

This story I copied from a website. I feel touched with this simple story so I'd like to share with all readers here. This story reminds me with the real world where people has forgot about what is Love and caring people we love.

Last but not least, the last favorite sentence:

"Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is"

It makes me really believe that Time can make people value love, respect and grateful with what we have now.

A brief notes

My hobby is one of nerds' hobbies and you may feel I'm so nerd because I enjoy studying :D.. and yeah I absolutely enjoy it. I like facing books but more than that I really love the "class" experience. In these 20 days, I met different people from different country. I'm gonna jot down a note from what we have shared and it is something new for me. It is not about the English lesson I have got sound too academic!) but it is interesting stories I have got.

* My UK teacher pronounced "bus" with "bos" . Then one of my classmates asked her that how to say "bus"? was it "bos" ? I thought I was the only one who was misheard. Later on, my teacher told us that in UK, every 15 KM distance, they speak in different accent! Let's say "cup" it is pronounced 'kap', but every 15 KM you can hear different pronounce, 'kop', 'kup'. And not all accent sound like in the "Harry Potter" .. the best English accent in that movie , according to my teacher is Hermione. She has "Posh" accent it is similar like "high-accent" style in UK.

*No offence about this. Malaysian-chinese loves to have white skin color instead of tan! why? it is silly though, but my friend said that it was because people would misunderstand that person was Malaysian not a chinese if she had "tan" skin color.

* In Iraq, there is no mailing address. Then, how they post goods? It is only through public places where they can get their posts. Also, if we want to find one's address there, just meet in public places. Plus, there is no electric there.

* In Tunisia, there are seven lakes (I don't know the name) and everything is thrown in these lakes (e.g stones) will be floating on the surface of the water. In these lake , there are two water taste which are salty and sweet!

* There are millions of camels in Australia.
