So, why i suddenly talk about Tzu Chi? What is Tzu Chi means for me actually? As long long time ago when i was in standard 6, i used to been Tzu Chi in malacca branch before for recycling sorting brought by my school teacher. As last time i had been there, Tzu Chi in malacca is only a very small site for recycling purposes in a big textile factory, but now the whole factory is taken up by Tzu Chi and become one of the branch in malacca.
