Family Time

The SUPP TGM came and went. Perhaps people were disappointed with the status quo of the leadership - I am an optimist - I am hopeful that the Delegates' suggestions will be taken up and something positive will develop. I have received many encouraging calls of comfort - I tell them not to worry, I have not lost heart, Women Section is only part of my involvement in the Party. It didn't go so bad - I had 48% of the votes.

My heart is still very much in the Party as I said SUPP must have a new culture.

Now it's back to clear my backlog of work at the office and chores at home. Dinner is a big thing for the family - cooking is a teamwork from all the family and we all enjoy the fruits of our labour together. With my son, Eman, back from Melbourne - we are a complete family. Nice...

Today, Eman just got his results of the VCE (Victorian High School) exams - not bad. He had to struggle when he was at Chung Hua Middle School No. 1 and always complained that they had to memorise everything! So the last 2 years of very expensive (for us)  boarding school at Melbourne, had been worth it. Had we left him to finish High School in Kuching, he wouldn't have made it. So he's now waiting for offers from Universities.

We are all so happy for Eman and we celebrated by having an 'out of the ordinary' Monday family breakfast together. 

My family have been waiting for me to get ready for our family vacation. Tony (my husband) and I are taking our 4 kids to Beijing and Bangkok. Beijing will be freezing but it'll be educational for the kids to see all the landmarks of Beijing. Bangkok will be food...

We had to time our holiday after Party TGM and for my youngest sister, Li, to come home from Melbourne, so there'll be family with my Mum when we are away.

Merry X'mas to all and happy vacation with your loved ones. 

Speech by CHENG YI,SUPP Batu Lintang Branch SUPP TGM 2008 14th December 2008

This TGM is a crossroad for SUPP. We come here from all over the State because we care for the future of SUPP.

We are here to set our Party’s policy direction and to give our mandate to the leaders of our Party.

I come here today bearing a hope:

HOPE: for SUPP to strengthen itself and be the voice of the people!

HOPE: that SUPP can truly be the People’s United Party!

Sekarang sudah tiba masanya untuk parti kita bangun semula dan membuktikan bahawa parti kitalah yang benar-benar dapat memastikan hak-hak rakyat.

We must regroup and rise above regional power struggle and re-direct our selves be to our Party’s objectives: ie. to sincerely defend a fair & just society. We must engage all our members in this direction.

Change – NEW SUPP CULTURE
Change comes in many forms – change in ideology & policies. We have wise leaders and most important thing is that SUPP must adopt radical change in our Culture:

1. Independent Political stand
SUPP must have our independent political stand within the context of Barisan Nasional, so that we can be seen to be a party with principle to meet the expectations of the people.
We must have a culture of being open and frank with our Barisan Nasional partners.
I suggest we set up a Think Tank comprising of our Party Elders, private sector, members & NGOs to deliberate on current issues & put up recommendations to the Party at every CWC monthly meetings.

2. Systematic Grooming Process
SUPP must have a human resource (HR) development policy – to headhunt for potential leaders, groom them – give these young leaders the confidence that when they perform, we will promote and defend them with all sincerity. The Opposition are doing it – if we don’t, we will lose out, they can throw a 20+ year old out there into the deep end. You can see that over these last 2 years, these young politicians have learnt and grown with the job. We must be courageous and be generous with our guidance – this the test of real leadership. A successful leader is one who is able to bring up a ready team of next echelon leader.

3. Reject Regional Politics
As Lee Kuan Yew (Mentor Minister of Singapore) said, we Chinese are marginalized in Malaysia. Chinese political strength is dispersed as we are in so many political parties. Today, it is unfortunate that we in SUPP, are still indulging in regional politics, thereby further eroding our strength. It is time to be truly united – get the best from our State wherever they are from, irrespective of which branch they are form – practice meritocracy.
One of the weakness maybe that our Party leaders’ are concentrating too much in their own constituencies’ activities. Party leaders should engage with all our Branches. During dialogue with branches, they have been calling out for guidance and direction.
Our leaders must adopt an all inclusive attitude & show our members that you are our Party leader (not just local DUN representative)– that is one way to unify our Party.

4. Amendment of Party Constitution
I support the motion to amend our Constitution so that we can meet the current expectations of our members, the election process must be one where money politics and regional politics be avoided. The antiquated system of 2 tier election may not be suitable to today’s environment. Our Delegates’ can’t even vote for the person they want as the leader, they are voting for a group of CC whom some of them don’t even know! We should set up a special task force to undertake this exercise, give them a time frame – we can’t wait for 3 more years to the next TGM. All branches should be given an opportunity to present their views. The recommendation can then be deliberated and adopted at a special purpose Delegates’ Conference.

This TGM is a test for us, the public is watching us – there’s no point of winning in the house and losing the public. We must now have the courage to re-affirm our convictions towards our Party’s cause: to strive and defend a fair & just society for all races. Don’t just talk – we have to do it! Do it right!

People are losing their patience with us – instead of tackling peoples’ issues, we have since 2006 engaged in internal power play even up to now. It’s time to clean up our act – we must prove to the people that we are a NEW SUPP :
A party with integrity, one which the people can put their trust & confidence in us .
It will be this NEW SUPP which will have a chance to retain our seats and regain our lost seats in the next State Election.
Kami ialah SUPP BARU dengan budaya baru - satu parti yang pemundi boleh harap.

Sekian Terima Kasih.

峇都林當支部黨員代表鄭儀講詞
人聯黨第21屆黨員代表大會@14-12-2008

這一屆的黨代是黨的一個交叉路口，我們都因為關心黨的前途而從全砂各地到這裡來。我們齊聚在這裡來制訂黨的方向並把黨托付給我們的領導。
我帶著希望來到這裡：
希望：壯大和鞏固我黨並為人民的喉舌！
希望：我們的黨是真正的人民聯合黨！

現在是時候讓我黨重新站起來，證明我黨是真真正正能確保人民權益的政黨。我們要重新組織起來，拋開區域分歧並重新定位，以能迎合我們的宗旨：即捍衛一個公平和諧的社會。我們每個黨員都要厘清這個方向。

改變─新的人聯文化
改變有很多形式，包括了觀念和政策的改變。我們有精明的領導層，更重要的是人聯黨的文化需要彻底的改變。
1. 獨立的政治立場
即使是在國陣內，我黨必須也要有自己的立場，唯有這樣我們才能成為一個真正有原則並達到人民期待的政黨。我們要有一種可以和友黨坦誠和開明的文化。我建議我們可以召集一些黨的元老、私人領域代表、黨員和一些非政府組織的代表一起來，針對一些時事課題進行討論和提議建，然後把這些想法和建議帶到常月會議中。

2. 有系統的領導傳承
我黨必須要有一個人力資源發展制度，找出那些有濳能的領袖並培養他／她。讓年輕的領袖有信心並認清只要他們肯努力付出、積極表現，就會被黨待以真誠的提拔。反對黨不就是這樣做嗎鎮? 他們尚且如此，我們怎能不及之？我們看到反對黨的領導中甚至才20出頭的年紀，他們就被推薦到最前線去。可以看到這兩年來，這些年輕的政治人物都從他們，這才是真正領導的一種考驗。一個成功的領導人是可以帶起一個完全準備就緒的團隊者。


3. 拒絕山頭主義政治
正如新加坡資政李光耀說的，華人在大馬是被邊緣化。華人政治力量都因為參與的政黨不同而給分散掉了。很不幸的，今時今日，我們的黨還是存在區域政治(山頭主義)，因此更削弱了我們的力量。是時候讓我們真正團結起來了，選賢與能，不要去管他／她來自那一個支部，我們要的是人才統治的制度。
其中一個弱點就是，我們的黨領袖們太過於只專注在個自的選區，黨領袖是應該和所有支部都能打成一片的。上次和各支部對話時，他們都吁請黨領導層能給其他支部多一些引領和指示。
我們的領袖應該要讓黨員們看到你們是黨的領導，不只是代議士，黨領導是要對全體黨員負責的，這是其中一個可以團結黨的方法，否則只能論為空談。

4. 修改黨章
我支持有關修改黨章的提案，以達到黨員們的期待。選舉的過程一定要消除金錢政治和區域政治。舊有的复選方式已不適用於今天的政治環境了，代表們連欲投票給自己想支持的領導的權力都沒有，而是投給一群可能連他們自己也不認識的中委代表。我們有必要設立一個特別執行小組來處理，我們不能再等三年後的黨代才來正視這個問題了。所有的支部都有表達各自想法和意願的機會。然後，所有的提議可在特大中商議和通過。


這次黨選對我們是一種挑戰，民眾都在看我們。如果贏了黨選而讓外人笑話而輸掉了人民的信心，又有甚麼用? 我們要下定決心遵從黨的宗旨，爭取和捍衛一個公平 和諧的多元種族社會。不要只是用講的，要真的去做，去做對的事。
人民對我們不耐煩了，除了民生問題，我們從2006年開始一直飽受內部鬥爭的影響。現在是時候讓我們搞清楚它，向大眾證明我們是一個新的人聯黨，一個有自主性、一個值得人民信賴的政黨！
唯為這樣的一個新人聯才能確保我們能在來屆州選時收复失地。我們是一個擁有新文化的新人聯黨，是選民可以寄望的政黨！

Lose some & win some

We just had a turbulent day yesterday. Unfortunately, some of us were willing to risk a split, just to achieve their own personal agenda.

We were given a good progressive option, to go for a one to one fight for the Chair, loser takes a second position. I agreed to that proposal as that way we can still have an inclusive team.  Strange way is that even though 20: 7 branches agreeing to that manner of voting, the Election Committee ruled that the motion must be put to the floor.  These 7 branches carried a slim majority to reject one to one election and decided to go for the traditional election for the whole Central Committee of 49!

You can imagine the counting process of selecting top 49 our of 100 candidates! We didn't finish until close to midnight. Poor staff and members who stayed back to help.

Anyway, at end of the day as predicted, the big branches carried the day and 7 branches were the casualties as they were excluded.  So even though I was elected in as one of the 49, I could not accept the position as a Central Committee member when 7 branches are excluded. 

So that was that. 

My point is that election should have been be a healthy election unless the parties want to use dirty tactics. It is within our control and our choice.

That kind of 2 tier election squashed my hope for a NEW SUPP WOMAN : one with Integrity, Intelligence and Independence. That is my only regret. 

My comfort is the women in Southern Zone are motivated, united and very independent. That is my win!

Tomorrow is 2nd day of our SUPP Delegates' Conference where Delegates will speak- I am hopeful for a positive outcome to chart our direction.

Ah! We had a relaxing fellowship with the Delegates tonight. I had the opportunity to thank some of the Women Delegates and a hug to my Comrade Suzanne Lee to wish her and her team all the best.

We move on.

Uphill task next 2 days

Lost in time actually its only 2 more days. Even Hillary made similar mistake! Haha..

Today, I really saw through how vicious people can be, how they can just drive a wedge in order to divide a close team. And people fall for it. Sad.

Well let's just leave it to nature and let our minds work and direct our attention to what we want.

Been a heavy day - managed to get a nice evening with my family at the Eurasian Association Nite at Sarawak Club. It's nice to see friends get together and enjoying music. Seeing talented friends play lovely music. Nice evening.

Faith in people

I have been receiving many phone calls and well wishes for my current bid for the SUPP Central Women Chairman. Some are members, others are just casual friends, others are long lost friends.

Tonight, my Batu Lintang women and I attended our Secretary's daughter's wedding - and we sang the Hokkien song ' to win we must fight' - we enjoyed such good fellowship and togetherness. So I was telling them - no matter whether we win or lose the election - we have won because we are so united and we have given ourselves the encouragement we need to start our new term. We have a great team - young & old, so varied are our personal background. That feeling is really precious.

So we are 5 days away to our election. No big deal its only a family affair and we are all comrades even if there may be competition. Our culture is that we are so scared of any elections - that it will split the party. In service organisations like Lions, Jaycees its common place and election is a leadership training process. Our women are now more matured and are now more open to such ideas. It will be a breakthrough. This is what I hope the NEW SUPP Women to be : to have integrity, intelligence and independence...

We are what we believe to be

This is the wedding season in Kuching! The interesting thing when you go to Chinese weddings is that you get to sit with different people and you can never predict where the conversation leads you.

Last night, I met a very nice young man, A fellow lawyer, single and available. I was telling him that our town lacks social activities where young people, men or women can interact socially. Yeah, sure they can meet up in a pub and hooha a bit, but that's hardly the place where one can conduct some real exchange of ideas. Then I was telling him, surprisingly, there are pockets of friends who are taking up some out of the ordinary activities/sports eg kayaking, mountain climbing, para-gliding, flying light aircrafts, building Churches.. here in Kuching!

The thing is we should not limit ourselves - just go for it.

Then we got to talk about the concept of 'we are what we believe to be'. I'm surprised, the guy knew about the concept and using that philosophy to start a new career path. I felt encouraged by this young man and admired him for taking the bold step to move forward in life. Well done and keep it up.

I was also reminded about a friend - who's in her early 60s, divorced long ago, independent & spirited professional lady. She met a long lost friend who came back from US for vacation. they got on well together and they wanted to give it a try to see if they could be life partners. She went over to the US just before X'mas. X'mas eve, she asked him where would they go for X'mas eve dinner? He said just to the local Chinese cafe, then she should go to her own church and he to his! She was disappointed, but since she is a guest there what can she say. Well her service ended at 11pm and she went a hotel nearby to wait for her 'boyfriend' and sat there by herself until 2am when he finally showed up. That was the last straw - she couldn't even bring herself to say Merry Christmas!!! So decided there and then that this is definitely NOT the guy for her.

I consoled her - at least you found out early or it would have been worse!

So to cheer herself, she took the opportunity to tour Canada and looked up an old friend. He had lost his wife few years before. How strange how things worked out - it turned out that they struck a great friendship and enjoy each others company very much.

When I saw her, she was radiant - I thought she had plastic surgery! I am so happy for her that at least she was gutsy enough to take a chance for happiness.

So all you out there, there is someone somewhere who is your soul-mate. It's just happen when you least expect it. 

We are what we believe to be.

It's nice to have my eldest son, Eman back from Melbourne where he'd just completed his High School exam. Hopefully he'll get good offers from the Universities he had applied to.

Actually, nowadays - whatever vocation one takes - it doesn't really matter - what matters is that he must excel in what he does. My friend who graduated as an engineer - more as a gift to the parents, then took up culinary pursuits. He is now a very successful chef.

The moral of the story, we should allow our children to follow their interests and dreams - always encourage them to try their best and to access all the information available to them to be the best.

So Family Day is breakfast with my Mother. Ma hasn't been too mobile for last 2 years. Immobility comes suddenly and unexpectedly. Don't take things for granted. Enjoy every moment with our loved ones. I'm lucky my sisters come back to Kuching for whole Summer or winter break - after my father's passing, we know these are precious times. 

My husband, Tony, has been a pillar of strength during my busy times. At least we can enjoy some leisure time with friends , jamming or just having a drink & chatting. Talking about chatting - at least it's real human contact. 

Problem now is that we tend to interact more with machines eg handphones, PDAs, computer, etc. than talk with friends. You can have a table of 4 friends who were supposed to meet & catch up with each other, but each are talking to other people on their handphones!! We should discipline ourselves to engage with our friends and block off our phones for a few minutes. I'm sure we will find that the friendship will be more meaningful than what we miss on the handphone.

Have a nice Sunday with your loved ones. It'll make their day if you could express your affection to your family - I promise you that will bring you so much satisfaction in return. 

Manifesto

My hometown- Sibu

In meeting my members, I took the chance to dropby my hometown, Sibu and caught up with my Uncle (my father's brother) Cheng Yew Jock and my aunty Cheng Yeh Mei. meeting up with them reminds me of my father. Uncle Yew Jock looks so much like my father that once, my daughter when she was 7 years old - ran up to him and called him Kong kong (mistaking him for my father!). 

I always remember those days when we'll always be back for Chinese New Year Family Re-unions. We used to stay in Brooke Drive and in the week-ends they had Bangsawan performances. It was fun times and I think we had closer rapport amongst all the communities.

In Sibu, I will never miss having my favourite Udang Galah Noodle! Wow - it's such a luxury  as it is getting quite expensive now. But I think it's so good that we can spoil ourselves when we come home to our kampong!

Yumm...

Family and Friends

In my involvement with SUPP these last 22 years, I've got to know all different characters. Some are very committed without asking for any 'reward', others are the 'you scratch-my-back, I scratch yours' type of personalities, then there are others who'd only want to know you when you are in the good books of the Boss! Life is interesting...

You may be surprised at all these Chinese notes that are being published here - that's my talented friend and my children. My friend whom I've got to know better recently, has helped me to translate some of my thoughts for the benefit of Chinese readers. All this while I'm always learning to improve my Mandarin. My children are also a great resource for me - that's why my husband and I have sent them to Chinese school. It has been a great advantage for them.

Talking about vernacular education - while I too realise the growing racial polarisation in Malaysia, I also feel that we are lucky to have the option available to us to select different medium of education in Malaysia.

I hope that with more open discussion and the involvement of parents, we can come up with programs for the good of all. 

领导层的轮替@17-11-2008

政党内领导层的轮替，是很自然也是党正在健全的发展现象，而即使有出现竞选,也是党内民主的一种表现。

作为一个政党，不论是妇女组或青年团都是培育青年领导的平台，这些被选出来的领袖都必须对党和对人民服务，更重要的是要有正确的政治思路。

我们希望可以通过自己的服务和努力，协助党重新出发，找回我们建党时的那种干劲和作为，如此而已。

很多人觉得该党党选出现竞选并闹得沸沸扬扬，就象是一个闹剧。但而事实上，这是大家作为一个负责任的领袖所表达的对党前途的一种关心，大家都觉得应该站出来为党、为人民做点事。

今年的党选对人联党而言是非常关键的一次，不只是党员们都很关心，整个华社和民众都很关心。

My speech at Branch W.S. TGM @14-11-2008

SPEECH BY CHENG YI
INCOMING CHAIRMAN OF
SUPP BATU LINTANG BRANCH WOMEN SECTION
(2009 – 2011)

I would like to thank all of you, my Batu Lintang Women members for your trust in me by having me as your Chairman. Out of my 21 years in SUPP, my last 9 years in Batu Lintang has re-affirmed my belief that as comrades, we must be able to trust each other, be confident that each of us will look out for each other and protect each other.

You are the kind of members that our Party are proud to have. You are the ones who have given your time selflessly and quietly for the Party. Do you ever ask for anything in return? Never! You are so ready & sincere to extend your hands to welcome our new blood and guide them. What each of us want is to help our community through the good name of our Party.

The people have rejected us in the 2006 election, it is time to vindicate our Party, do the right things in the best interest of our people.

Women – we represent half of SUPP’s membership – we are the foundation of our Party. With today’s women, better educated and better informed, it is the ripe time that we are the ones to steer our Party to the right direction. To do this we must sacrifice some time and responsibility – let each of us put in our effort - rekindle our spirit of sacrifice, service and responsibility. Let us, women, who form the pillar of strength in the Party do our part to steer our party to our original objectives for a fair, just and equal society for all races.

Part of this process is to ensure smooth transition of leadership for the next echelon to move up the Party hierarchy. The Women Section must serve as a platform to develop and group women leaders, so that they will be ready to take up their role side by side with male leaders to effectively serve in the main body of our organization.

The Women Section’s responsibility at this stage of political development in our state and Party, is to hasten this grooming process.

I am, therefore, honoured and humbled that my Branch Women Section has nominated me for the Central Women Section Chair. I accept their nomination with a call to all our women members throughout Sarawak to join me in my quest. I will seek other Branches’ view on this matter.

My quest is to re-direct ourselves to SUPP’s prime objective of ‘a fair, just and equal society for all races’.

These are the same values people strive for all over the world. It is up to us to renew our convictions towards this aim.

During my recent statewide tour to our Women Branches, it is clear that our SUPP women are well informed about the political situation in the state and nation. They are also concerned on our Party’s future direction. The most touching thing is they want to contribute their efforts towards our worthwhile objectives.

Our challenge is to re-ignite those ideals we held when we decided that SUPP was the Political Party to join. We must electrify our members to work towards such ideals, without fear or favour – not just mere lip service but walk the talk.

This is a time to test what we SUPP women are worth?

Do we have the courage to take our journey on the right track? Do we have the integrity to do the right thing or are we just like ‘sheep’ herded by the master?
We must reject money politics! Reject being patronized by our male comrades!

We are: women with integrity, intelligence and independence to make the right choice!

A step at a time, together we can be a force.

SUPP women: WE can be the agents of change for our Party!
SUPP women: I ask if you are ready to make the sacrifice and take up the challenge? Our destiny is in your hands.

There is still hope yet for SUPP.

人联党峇都林当支部妇女组
新届主席郑仪 (2008 – 2010) 讲词全文


首先，我要感谢所有峇都林当支部妇女组的组员们给予我信任和支持，推选我为下一任的妇女组主席。我参与党21年了，加入峇都林当支部的这9年来，让我再次确信同志间必须互相信任，以及那种彼此互为后盾、互相守护的精神。

在座的你们，每一个都是我党的骄傲。你们都在默默地付出，无私地为党服务。你们可曾要求过任何回报吗？绝对没有！你们已经准备好用真诚来欢迎新进同志，并乐意随时指引他们。我们大家只有一个目标，那就是通过建立党的良好名声，来造福群众。

2006年的州选，选民“拒绝”了我们。我党是时候为自己辯白，站在人民的立场去做对的事和走对的路。

妇女同志们，我们代表着党内一半的声音，也是党强大基础的一份子。现今的社会，女性都能接受良好的教育和接收新资讯，而今也是我们充实好自己，协助党走上轨道的最佳时机。为此，我们必须挪出一些时间和专注力，大家一起付出努力，重新倡导牺牲、服务和负责任的精神。让我们这些作为党强大支柱的妇女同志，共同扮演好自己的角色，让党重新回到建党时的最初衷，就是建立一个公平、和谐与平等的多元种族社会。

在这个过程中，我们必须确保各阶层领导的传承工作能够顺利衔接。而妇女组就是一个培养和团结女性领袖的最佳平台，以便能和其他男领导同志互相配合，更有效地为党服务。再者，配合现今本州和我党的政治发展局势，妇女组首要任务便是要加快我们的成长步伐。

在此，承蒙大家厚爱，一致推荐我来接任中央妇女组主席的职位，我以谦卑和感恩的心情接受这份推崇，并呼吁全砂的妇女组组员们都能和我一起来奋斗，共同追逐党更美好的明天。

我所追求的就是我们必须为自己为党重新定位，朝向我们的初衷，即“建立一个公平、和谐与平等的多元种族社会”迈进。这是全世界人类不断争取的共同理念，而如何重申我们的信念并朝向这个目标，都决定在我们自己的手里。

最近我走访了全州各支部并会见我们妇女组的同志们，清楚地了解到我们党的妇女同志不但非常关心和了解目前州内或国内的政治局势，大家也都非常关心党今后的走向。最令人感动的是，大家都准备要为这个具有重大意义和价值的目标献出一份力。

我们所面对的挑战就是必须重新唤醒当初我们为何选择参与党的那些理想。我们必须要让党员们充一充电，积极和努力地向理想前进，而不可以是只讲不做。

这是考验我党妇女同志存在价值的时机？
我们拥有足够的勇气出征了吗？我们有没有正义感去做对的事或只是沦为受人摆布的布偶？
我们要拒绝金钱政治！拒绝男同志的庇護！
我们是有正义感、 有智慧和独立的时代女性，有能力做正确的判断和选择！
一步一脚印，即能组成强大的队伍！
我党女同志们：我们要成为党思进思变的原动力！
我党女同志们：你们都准备接受挑战并随时牺牲了吗？命运掌握在我们的手中！

人联是绝对还有希望的。

衷于自己的理想@12-11-2008

奥巴马成功当选美国下一任总统，启示我们必须坚持和衷于自己的理想，更证明了只要我们每个人都能全心付出，重燃牺牲、服务和负责到底的精神，没有什么是不可能达成的。

奥巴马在竞选中引用大文豪马克吐温的经典名言“我有一个梦。”而这句话不但唤醒美国人该重新拥有他们的美国梦，也适用于提醒我们，梦想是伟大的，敢于梦想的人才会成功。

尤其是妇女同胞们，在新时代的来临，我们不能再局限自己的思想和生活圈子，必须意识到新时代的智慧型女性应该好好发挥自己的专长，勇于追求和实现自己的理想。

长期以来，大部分的女性经常为了家庭而把自我实践的部分摆在后面，甚至完全牺牲自己。因此，作为新时代的女性，除了要照顾好家庭，也必须注重自己的在这个社会上扮演的角色，好好发挥它，追求属于自己的理想，每个人都有创造新历史的可能。

此外，对于参与党的妇女同志们，我更要呼吁大家必须发挥牺牲、服务和负责到底的精神。妇女同志为党撑起半边天，在每一次的选举活动中，我们都看到了自己所扮演的角色，尤其是在组织工作上，更是举足轻重。

因此，我相信只要大家能一步一脚印，总有一天我们会成为一个拥有强大力量的队伍，去实现我们的梦想和理想的。不是吗?

欢迎光临~儀然自得的空间

儀然自得,取自成语怡然自得,
意思就是安适愉快而自得其乐,
这不就是大家所追求的吗?
我很满足于自己所拥有的,
也希望能在这个空间里,
为自己和我的朋友们创造一个快乐的空间.
当你累了,欢迎你到这里走走.
这里有我的心情故事,
也有我对政治的想法.

嗨,你好~
欢迎光临
