Day 4 in wanaka,
it was sunny day again
as the first two days,
the day before was cloudy but because
it was Godd Friday, a dark day reminded me
of how Jesus died for us on the cross,
the blood and the tears He shed for us.
I was reading an old classical
novel by Jack Higgins called the
Last Place God Made, which the author
described the place as the most
unliveable place on earth.
For me, it was not God had snoozed off at
the end of His creations but it was
human thmeselves who made a place
as bad as a hell.
Killing, wars and cannibalism,
God didn’t ask the place to be like that
but it is the sins of human themselves.
Only halfway through the novel and
the protanoinsts are just starting
to fight for their life to survive,
and not to lose faith. I shall see
what’s the end of the story in the next few days.
Frankly, my face is redden by the
sunshine sitting by the lakeside of Wanaka,
because I’ve spent so much time
basking and reading, walking and jogging.
Near to sunburnt but not yet.
But who cares! Enjoying the heat of the sun
is slight chances to grab now in this season.
It was quite windy out here,
so even sunshine, it was cold and wet
just because it was raining heavily
in the late night yesterday.
I was still waiting for people that
to be arrivd and clicked with me to go
to cinema and puzzling world here in Wanaka,
and hope is still there,
I’ve 3 more days to spend here.
I was quite embarassed because of
few Malaysians this morning,
wouldn’t identify the etnicity
because it is the issue that made
Malaysia such a hard place to live,
for a minority like me.
It took place in the kitchen,
these Malaysians were supposed to
check out by 10am but they were still
lingering around the kitchen with
big breakfast without packing up
their luggages in the room,
until the staff has to come over and
ask them to leave the room.
Nothing wrong with staying in the
kitchen for breakfast after 10am,
but you have to abide to the instruction
that to leave the room by 10am.
It is for the staffs to clean the room
for the next paid guest.
Just be polite and responsible,
pack up your stuffs, ask to store
your luggages somewhere which is
not a problem for most of the hostel at all
and then you head to the kitchen later
for a comfortable, slow breakfast,
is that easy and you won’t caused
any invonceniences to others.
Any person with education and common sense
shall know that.
And if you were asked to leave,
get yourself together and leave,
not sitting there pretending nothing
happen and laughh out loud amongst yourself!
What a typical Malaysian attitude!
I shall remind mysel of those
courtesy and avoid being that.
Other than that, for Wanaka today,
I wouldn’t have much activities,
staying still and quiet with
the words of God from the Bible,
spending time with Him,
appreciate the sacrifice of Him and
the victory of Him who risen from the death.
Happy easter day, to all.
