memorable 2008.. doing better 2009

Finally another post in my blog, I did not really procrastinate to update here.
Here is the updates for the last 2 months of 2008.

1. Finally I found a house and staying off-campus next year in Dandenong, where I am going to have my clinical placement there for the whole year. Although the house hunting was really time-consuming and energy-consuming, the result was really satisfying, as the house we found is actually a 3-rooms villa located in a secured compound which is less than 10 min walk from the hospital!!


2. The trip to Grampians National Park was finally completed after a long planning.8 of us (Daniel, Yeu Sheng, Chean Ying, Ye Chia, Jessica, Nooi Hoay, Yun Ying and I), the landscape of Grampians is really unique, the trip is still worth it. Amazingly, Daniel and I (the drivers) actually drove around 850km in 2 days!!!

3. On the way back to Malaysia in Dec, we (Jessica, Yu Wan, Calvin, Yun Ying and I) actually made way home via Perth. The 5 days trip in Perth was really so amazing...We really fully utilised everyday we had in Perth, went to Rottness Island, Fermantle, Curtin Uni, UWA, Swan Valley and definitely Perth CBD. Actually Perth is not that boring as people described, I think we shall make another transit to Perth to visit some others attractions around like Margeret River, Wave rock etc.. Thanks alot for our best tour guides: Ling Weng and Bryan, and also our dear friends in Perth: Cheah Yen, Jacyln, Yee Fang, Jia Huei, Wai Ting Siaw tze etc for making our trip to Perth a really memorable one.

4. Finally I passed my 2nd year Med and now officially a 3rd Med student nex yr.


All the best for the coming year.
Wish 2009 will be better than the year before.

球语

球语

最近，常和一班好友去打羽球。渐渐地我发现，在球场上，有一些有趣的画面。每一回，当球从对面以美丽的弧度划过来时，这边厢的球员，凌空跃起，准备一拍把球 “杀”下去，偏偏一拍打向空气，球却漂亮降陆。这时，那人通常会紧接连续挥动几下球拍，仿佛在表示：这球拍怎么了？哎呀，这球拍，握来不太顺手。

然而，一旦，来势汹汹的球，被截住再被扳回去时，得分的一方，会抱以一个典型的握拳姿势，再不然就是一个自豪的微笑。我在休息时，旁观这些表情后，便静静注意自己在球场上，是否也不自觉出现以上动作。结果，我察觉原来我自己也会下意识的，有这些反应。我莞尔了，原来，大家都一样。

打球时，一般不会讲太多话，而我把这些举止反应称之为“球语”。这些“球语”不也正传达一些讯息吗？

张老师在2001年得了末期肝癌，当时，医生说他再也无法进行任何治疗，倘若回家的话，或许会有奇蹟出现。

於是，太太唯有把他带回家去。从离开医院到家那段距离，是由救伤车把他载到家的，那一刻起，他一直平躺在床上。

日子每过一天，身体就消瘦一点。导致体衰的至大因素，是因为他心里仅有恐惧，而让他不知道自己该怎么办，当时，张老师的生命完全失去能量。

直到某天，他们的一位好朋友来邀请张老师去上“生活艺术课程”，並告诉他说，那是可以提昇生命能量的课程。

当时，太太问朋友：“连医生都说帮不上忙了，上课会有用吗？”对方回她说：“不尝试，又怎么知道不可以呢？姑且不谈上课后能不能把病治好，但至少能够让他在这段时间活得快乐一些。”

就这样，张老师去上课了。

在还未上课前，太太每天要求丈夫笑一个给她看。可是，他的笑容比哭还难看，因为整张脸都是悲伤的。

然而，张老师上了3天课回来后，他整个人都变了！太太发觉丈夫躺在椅子上睡觉时，其嘴角是往上翘的，这让她觉得很惊讶。因为太太已经好久，好久，没有在丈夫的脸上找到这份安逸，喜悦和寧静的感觉了。当下，他们就肯定了自己走对了路。

自此，他们很努力地走抗癌这条路。由於授课老师来自台湾，当太太要求老师再来马来西亚教课时，对方说，开课需要凑足学生才行。

可是，她並不认识人，要怎么去找这么多人来上课呢？后来，老师给了她一张小纸条，纸条上写了指示，她拿著小纸条到公园去逐个问。

人家问她上的是甚么课？她说生活艺术呼吸法。人家又问那是甚么课，她说不知道。对方疑惑了，再问她：“既然不知道，你叫我去上课做甚么？”，她说：“因为我知道它对你很好，它值得你去上。”

说也奇怪，她这么对人说，竟然也號召到一批人来上课。这课程，从当初的第一班开始到现在，已经是开办了两百多堂课。而且，还从檳城开始一直办到北海、大山脚、双溪大年、亚罗士打、登加楼、霹雳；关丹和怡保等地。

信念和坚持最重要

张老师在“生活艺术课程”里学习自然疗法，自从改变生活和饮食习惯后，他的身体开始慢慢康復过来。在连医生都认为他“无药可救”的情况下，他还是活了下来。人人都认为张老师能活下来是个奇蹟，可他却认为，“那是人为的，因为个人的信念和坚持，对求生意志来说，是很重要的。”

因为有过“死里逃生”的经验，后来，很多癌症患者都找上门来向他们夫妻俩求救。从当初没有计画性地开始帮人，到后来，他们在檳城丹绒武雅成立了“生命重建花园”收容所，而张老师亦顺理成章成为收容所的灵魂人物。

至今，他在生命重建花园服务了9年，主要是照顾病人身心方面的需求。但是，前来求助的人不仅是癌症患者，当中也包括高压族和追求健康的平常人。

在这几年的经验里，让他印象最深刻的，是一位患了忧鬱症的土木工程师。对方来生命重建花园之前，已有服用抗忧鬱药物长达三十多年的经验。

张老师发觉对方所承受的压力非常大，於是，便建议他上生活艺术课程。经过一番心灵辅导，他的身体渐渐好起来，並且决心要停止吃抗忧鬱症药。

他在生命重建花园住的那几个晚上，都由张老师陪伴著他。在短短的4天里，他可以不靠安眠药入眠，2个月后，也终於摆脱抗忧鬱症的药物了。

尔后，他看到了生命的另一面向：生命除了劳碌工作，还有其他更值得自己追求的目標。经过一年来的努力，他的思想有所转变，后来，还跟两个孩子移民到澳洲享清福。

身心平衡事半功倍

生命重建花园强调的是，让人的生命有所改变。但，这必须要当事人在过去的生活划上句號，生命才能重新绽放开来。

而张老师就像人们心灵花圃的农夫，他抓走人们心田里里的害虫，为心中的一亩田施肥和浇水，並且给予细心照料。

他认为，一个人要身心平衡，才能在治疗上达到最大的帮助，因为心灵若失去平静，一切都会处在混浊当中，最后就甚么也做不成了。

因此，他建议有压力的人，一定要学会调整自己的呼吸法，只要能够让心安静下来，自然得以舒缓压抑以及恐惧的情绪。一颗心安静下来了，也自然可以感觉到生活的本质，再也不轻易放弃生命。

生命重建花园是后备家园，病人在这里学会应该怎样吃，吃甚么，才对身体有帮助。可是，再多的保健功夫，若没有把心灵给照顾好，生命就会缺乏喜悦和安寧，这样一来，病人还是会继续糟蹋自己的身体。所以，要健康的身体，就要先做到身心灵的平衡。

因此，每个来生命重建花园求助的病人，都被建议上生活艺术课程，这是第一贴药方。因为上课能让病人建立起好心情，敞开胸膛去面对生命的挫折，也唯有以开阔的心態来面对疾病，在做起调养功夫才能事半功倍。

此外，它还引导病人如何应用生活技巧来面对挫折。很多时候，当癌症患者在面对家人、朋友和环境的为难时，都会引起负面情绪而失去应对问题的能力。

然而，生命重建花园只要提供宣泄的管道予他们发泄自己的情绪，病人的心里就会变得舒坦些。只要在情绪发泄后，即使旁人没有建议解决方案，也自然懂得如何处理问题。

他们也会让癌症患者知道，要接纳人类的不同面貌，但不要成为別人的意见足球。调整病人的心態，加上对方愿意在饮食给予配合，就能看见治疗成绩。

康復过来的癌症病患，会被要求回来生命重建花园服务他人。只要经过服务別人的过程，就可以將生命带到另一层次。

因为在服务过程中会遇到很多问题，如计画病人的治疗方式、与病人和其家属作对应、服务过程中带来的迷惑等等，若能从中整理出所以然，就能觉察到自己的生命缺乏甚么，需要甚么。

此外，癌症康復者在服务他人时，当对方向自己说声谢谢，会不自觉地提昇自己的价值，並且从过去的自卑心慢慢地走出来。

生命重建花园的环境，没有想像中美丽。还没摸上门以前，还以为门前会有鲜花簇簇，花圃绽放出五顏六色得娇艳生命，那样才叫生命重建花园。可是，没有。那只是一间设在马路边的单层排屋，就连门前也没有掛上招牌。

屋子里的陈设更是简单，小小的房子里放了3张单人床，屋內只有两间房子，一次只能收容6个病人。张老师的太太，温秀枝说，因为自己有过亲人生病的经验，所以他们能瞭解病人的处境。

很多贫苦的病人都面对经济压力，而这些经济拮据的病人又该怎样办？她说：“我们走过这样的路，瞭解这些苦，现在只是提供一个方便给別人。病人在这里，只要拿张椅子坐下来，再添双筷子，就和大家一起吃，也一起住。”

在这里，成功康復的癌症患者很多，同样的，失败的也很多。成功的人之所以会成功，是因为他们是自愿地追求健康；失败的人之所以会失败，是因为他们是被逼追求健康。

在生命重建花园，志工们时常面对死亡，也时常面对未亡人。在这里离世的病人的家属，不但没有抱怨，反而心存感恩。因为病人在离世之前，都学会把握有限的生命来实践党下，並且好好享受自己的生命。

这里的志工都给予病人百分百的真心照顾。除了照料病人的饮食，很多时候，他们做的也是临终关怀服务。

曾有个病人在这里晕倒了，叫了救护车也没来，结果，他们把对方抱上车送到医院去，並且也一直陪伴在病人的家属身边。后来，病人去世了。他们一起处理死者的大小二便，为死者换上衣物，化好妆，然后把尸体裹上白布放入铁箱子里。

此外，对於那些行动不便的末期癌症患者，志工们甚至在对方的身体发出臭味都不顾一切抱在身上。虽然病人已经到达不能言语的严重地步，但却能感受到他们的真心。

虽然为癌症患者尽心尽力付出了那么多，但是，志工们却认为，是这些病人让他们有机会学习。

曾有个癌症病患的臀部少了一块肉，可是，这人从来没有苦过自己的一张脸。这人说：“我脸上的笑容不可以拿走。所以，痛，不会剥夺我脸上的笑容。”

当时，闻者流泪，但，对方还是坚持不哭，在他歷世前，他还向志工们逐个说再见，要大家千万別哭。

不管在生命重建花园的癌症病人，到后来是活了下来，还是离开人间世，至少，他们在生命里最终还是建立了属於自己的的生命花圃，並且，在他们的心中的那个花圃，都有一株艷红色的天堂鸟，正准备展翅高飞。

Rural Swan Hill updates 3 - FINAL

30/8 (Sun)
After such a long discussion and visit to the Swan Hill information centre, we decided to go to Nyah State Forest, Murray Sunset National Park- Pink lakes.
1. Nyah State Forest
It is just 15 min North from Swan Hill town centre. The state forest represents a good example forest of the Murray River. The river gum trees lined along the river as great habitat for kangaroo, and other wild animals. We saw a big group of kangaroos hooping around in the forest. The kangaroos were really cute and agile, especially with baby kangaroos. We managed to climb up to 5 trees in the forest PLUS we took heaps of photos on the river bank.

2. Murray Sunset National park- Pink lakes
National park = 4 WD. Fortunately, this national park was with 2WD accessibility track to the pink lakes, the main attraction in the national parks in the shire of Mildura rural city. Along the journey, one of the roads was so greenish with rice estates!! The scenery along with the sapphire blue sky was really great. Conversely, the other side of the road was just bald… the first sight into the lakes, it’s really pinkish!!! The lake floor was so pinkish with the condensation of the salt crystal. It’s not surprising that the water level was so low, and we could just walk on the water…like those in the movie, walking on the lake!! And we left the national park under the colourful rainbow. The sunset on the way back was marvelous and coloured the world into golden.


Is it pinkish?!?

1/9 Mon
First Aid course for 3 hours + Rural ambulance presentation.

2/9 Tue
GP visit in Swan Hill. I was with nurses for the morning, and I did some practical stuff, like cutting the suture, injection, ECG, skin biopsy, ear examination..etc. The best experience was assisting in the biopsy of lipoma, a benign neoplasm of adipose tissues. And I just realized that how big the lipoma could be!! The interview with a patient was really lengthy and interesting. A patient could really get all the diseases in the body!!! Myeloma, Atrial Fibrillation, Osteoporosis, bowel cancer..etc etc……

3/9 Wed
Life story project..presentation and afternoon tea with the old folks. I bought a colourful recipe for the lady I interviewed, if she had no chance to bake, at least she could enjoy looking at the pictures of the yummy food!!

4/9 Thu
A long day with all the presentations: GP, OHS, Panel discussion, Veterinary...and the day was ended with a visit to a dairy farm! The dairy was really big with almost fully automated milk production. The while rotary was so big and could fit 92 cows at the same time!! the cows were really trained to be multi-tasking!! The cows were eating, while the milk was sucked by the pump, and they poo and urinated at the same time!! amazing! :P

5/9 Fri
It’s the final day of the 2 weeks rural placement in Swan Hill, we eventually decided to have a trip up to Macedon ranges for the Hanging Rocks.. we stopped by Bendigo for lunch and when we reached the Hanging Rocks park, unfortunately it’s closed.. then we made our way up to Mt Macedon for the sunset..again!! it’s so magnificent to be immersed into the golden brown world.


Sunset (MT Macedon)

Rural Swan Hill updates 2

30/8 (Sat):
It’s the day we went out for our own day trip…only 4 of us: Shu, Xin, Hamon & I. Initially we planned to go to Mungo National Park IN NSW outback which we decided on the night before!!..it’s the World Heritage area which would add another world heritage area in my list (other than Malaysian Mulu National Park and Kinabalu National park). When we arrived at Balranald, the gateway into Mungo, it’s raining heavily and we decided to ask for further confirmation before we continued our journey north up to Mungo. Unfortunately, Mungo was closed on that day due to heavy rain. Eventually we decided to change our plan to Mildura!!! We took the longer way from Balranald via Euston- Robinvale to Mildura.

After visiting the Information Centre of Mildura, we decided to go Woodies Gem Shop before we headed 30km north to Wentworth, a small town in NSW. I got Jessica’s birth stones for Jess’s birthday present, earings for Yun Ying and another key chain for myself. Why Wentworth?!? The visit was really worth it…we had lunch overlooking the junction of Darling & Murray river, the 2 greatest river in Australia. Then we visited Old Wentworth Goal before we went to Perish Sandhill. Perish Sandhill was the highlight of that day…I was so proud of myself of discovering it via the postcard sold in Mildura!! The sandhill is like a desert in the middle of the barren land. The view was so magnificent…due to the rain, the road to sandhill was so muddy and the mini pinky Nissan Micra was sliding like drifting…luckily I managed to control the car and to stop it!! Here is a picture on the sandhill….



Then we went to Wentworth Show, which was just a rural community show event with all the competitions… we watched the equestrian and enjoyed the celebration ambience. And eventually we headed back to Mildura for the Indian dinner…( P/s: we didn’t even have Asian food so frequent back in Melbourne). When we’re back, it’s ady 12 am!!! We spend like 16 hrs out for the day trip…it’s so fruitful even though we didn’t manage to go to Mungo. It’s so exhausting on driving for the long journey luckily Hamon and I shared the load…

Rural Swan Hill updates 1.

Rural in swan hill
I know it's quite late for the update, but I was really too busy with assignments!!



25/8 (Monday)
Depart from Clayton to Swan Hill which took us about 5 hours to reach there. On the way, we stopped by Bendigo for bunch andthen I took the turn to drive all the way up to Swan Hill. The drive was really boring with the road was just straight and with very few turns… The scenery was still almost the same with farm land and some of the barren and flat land of Victoria. We had a short introduction period and then had our PCL (Part A & B) in Aboriginal Co-op centre with a GP.

26/8 (Tuesday)
It’s the aboriginal day which we paid a visit to Tyntynder Homestead, a settlement of the migrants back in hundreds years ago. We learnt about the culture and lifestyle of aboriginal, as well as the history. The place was great with an underground showroom of the collection of aboriginal and the amazing building of migrants which is already more than 100 years old. We paid a visit to Murray River bank for more details observation of the aboriginal lifestyle. Then we went for a meeting at the aboriginal co-op centre, for some presentations of the services provided for the aboriginals. Had a great delicious dinner of roasted pork….etc. yummy

27/8 (Wed)
We had some free time before the visit to a nursing home in Nyah West. I did an interview with a nice, friendly lady. She was really enjoying chatting with me and talked about her life story. It’s so interesting, and luckily I got a good interviewee. Then in the afternoon, I join Chunk, Daves and Matt to Kerang for a pharmacy visit. It’s so cool to look at how the pharmacist work, but the job wasn’t much interesting to me. Anyway, it’s good to have a good understanding of the pharmacy services provided in compliment to the doctors’ prescription. It’s the night we cooked our 2nd dinner. Lin, Sheryl and I were in-charge of it. We cooked tasty mushroom egg noodles soup and with mouth-watering roast-chicken. It’s so satisfying.

28/8 (Thu)
I had my hospital placement and ambulance visit. It’s so packed but I had a great day. Hamon and I were allocated to Acute ward in the hospital and we’re there at 7 am for the shift-handling meeting. I followed a nurse in completing routine check-up on her patients. Interesting, I did some temperature, BP taking and also learnt some new knowledge of medical care in the hospital. Hamon and I walked around and interviewed some of the patients. We also conducted physical examination on a patient and we found shifting dullness on his abdomen!! (which was never found by any doctor!) Initially we just wanted to do percussion and auscultation on the patient’s thorax for diagnosed consolidation of lung! We also met a patient with a very rare disease called vanishing bone disease. We felt so empathy towards the patient. Eventually the session in ward ended a bit late about 4 pm.
In the evening 5.30pm, I needed to attend to ambulance station to have a shift with the paramedics. Unfortunately, there’s no case or call. I was just sitting and relaxing there. Plus I watched a movie there on the super cosy sofa. It’s great that a kind paramedic cooked a yummy dinner for me and also I made some new friends there. It’s such a good experience although without any cases!!

29/8 (Fri)
We had some presentations of the allied health services, like physiotherapy and counseling services. The programs ended earlier today in the afternoon, and I had an interview session for my assignment. We had a picnic and walk in the pioneer riverside park, enjoying the beautiful Murray River bank with the rows of river gum trees. It’s almost spring, all world became alive and awaken from the cold freezing winter. During the day, the weather/temperature was good..while in the morning/ late at night could reach 0 degree. It’s really freezing. (the temperature difference was really big..it’s Australia and inland…)

Food scare :(

Singapore finds more melamine in food

September 22, 2008-The Australian

SINGAPORE has found the potentially deadly chemical melamine in a third milk product imported from China, authorities say.

New laboratory findings showed White Rabbit Creamy Candy from China is also contaminated with melamine, the city-state's government announced late yesterday.

Melamine is at the centre of a widening food safety scandal in China, where authorities said nearly 13,000 children were in hospital yesterday after drinking toxic milk powder.

On Friday, Singapore suspended the import and sale of all milk and milk products from China after local tests found samples containing melamine, which is used to make plastics.

"These products include milk, ice cream, yoghurt, confectionery such as chocolates, biscuits and sweets, as well as any other products containing milk from China as an ingredient,'' the agri-food and veterinary authority (AVA) said.

Retailers and importers have been told to recall these products.

AVA said its tests first found melamine in samples of Yili brand iced yoghurt, and then in the Dutch Lady brand of strawberry-flavoured milk.

At least four children in China have died from drinking poisonous baby formula.

Melamine was initially reported only in milk powder but Chinese authorities later said they found it in some regular milk as well.

The chemical can make milk and other food products appear to have a higher protein content than they actually do.

It has become apparent in recent days that people in China have been deliberately watering down milk and then adding in the melamine to boost the protein content and make the product look normal.

Countries from Brunei to Burundi have barred Chinese milk products as a result.

Melamine can cause chronic nephrotoxicity and finally acute renal failure. It is excreted poorly by the body.

There are also some other food which maybe complicated eg Snickers, M&M, Biskit, Dove chocolate bars, Mentos yogurt balls, Oreo wafer sticks, and Want Want Take One Baby Bites.

I don't know how true is that, but my friends, be careful!

生命靈數..你的心靈力量有多偉大？

姓　　名： 李劲彦
出生日期： 西元1987年3月22日 (農曆76年2月23日)
靈　　數： 52

這組數字顯示

　　你是一個運勢特殊的人，非常聰明，反應很快，生命力量強大，能夠成就大事的，但卻天生有一些特別的使命，讓你的命運顯得神祕不可測。天生的使命，有時是個性或身體上的問題，比如在個性上有超乎常人的敏感，特別會重視面子的問題，或人際關係上的問題，在別人看來你都是過度敏感想太多了；或者是身體上的缺憾，但問題都不是很大，是命中注定你自己要想辦法去克服的地方。
　　在小孩時代，你便背負著眾人的期待，但是你卻一點也不在意，悠哉悠哉的過日子，還喜歡四處惡作劇哩！
　　長大後的成就，第一步需要看你能不能和人協調，協調成功以後，則要去進行實際的事情，才能達成目標。因此一般來講，你如果找到目標，事業運會很好，但是在你沒有找到目標前，會是一付漫不經心的樣子，花很多時間在找人生的目標，直到找到目標，才會全力以赴，也才能將你生命中潛在的爆發力，完全發揮，當然，那股強大的力量，會讓你成就一番大事業。
　　你的生命目標是展現個人的才華，並且享受人生的各種變化，但是你最好的生活方式是跟別人一起合作，比如是事業需要伙伴，或是人生需要伴侶，最好是夫妻倆一起合作創業，合作經營。
　　由於你的生命目標覺得人既然來到世間，就是要到處旅遊，不斷的變化成長，吸收知識，常常出差增廣見聞，你就是有這種想法的人。建議你有伴侶的支持，更能享受人生的快樂喔！
　　你的個性特徵是有獨到的想法及意見，思考靈敏，立場堅定而不易被動搖，喜歡批判性及說理性的表達方式，常有驚人之語和特殊見解，但有時候不理會他人的想法，會顯得太獨斷了！
　　你的優點是人緣好、口才佳，富快樂開朗的一面，因此很適合出來跟人交流，建議你選擇一個方向，努力去達成與人的良好互動吧！。
　　你的缺點是太隨性，有時會無法控制自己，一下子忽然興高彩烈，想到什麼就衝動去做，到處發揮精力，缺乏明確的目標，可能浪費太多精力了。
　　你的天賦潛能是在變動中求生存，如果歸納出一些趨勢，則偏向比較動態的，因此你可以選擇的行業很多，需要發揮口才的、隨性一點的自由業最適合，比如公關，外交，或業務，推銷這類的人，所有需要靠人脈或朋友的工作都很好，而如果是在固定的行業裡，則最好做些變動的職務，或必須常常出差往外跑的，都可以發揮你出你的潛力。

阿末依斯迈：不可能平等‧“华人仅寄居大马”

阿末依斯迈：不可能平等‧“华人仅寄居大马”

（檳城‧大山脚）巫统升旗山区部主席阿末依斯迈兼甘榜比乐“养父”说，檳州首长林冠英一上任就要撤销新经济政策，而新经济政策是保障马来人未来的一项政策。

他说，华人只是“寄居”在大马，因此不可能做到各族平等。

“华人是否能够平均分配財富给我们呢？如果今天你居住在华人家庭，你相信他们能够公平对待你们吗？”

星洲日报‧2008.08.24


多元种族，多元文化，建立平等的社会！？！
这不是举国上下都想达成的心愿？
不论是什么种族的人都是马来西亚人！！！为何还要有种族之分呢？

Updates...End of winter

Winter is going to end soon in this month. But the temperature doesnt seem any much better. It's still so cold. August is so excited with ups and downs of my days. The amazing Olympics started on 08.08.08 and the opening ceremony was so amazing, It's really the best I watched up to date... Even the Aussie here also felt that the opening was 100 times better than any olympics opening ceremony in the history. :)

On 20.08.2008, it's my mid semester exam, everyone was really into in. Glad that the paper was a bit better than last time :) And also I had my last day of Community Based Placement in Wesley Disability Community Services, the placement gave me a great understanding and appreciation to the primary community care to the people with disability. Thanks so much to the field educator who really helped us alot to make our placement a significantly beneficial.

End of the month, next Monday I'll be going my 2 weeks rural placement in Swan Hill, a small rural township which is 5 hrs away from Melbourne city !! I guess I 'll update soon again :) It's just a short one for now

大馬1哥愈戰愈勇 宗偉衝擊第1金

身在澳洲的我们也追看这场比赛！！！ 加油！！

[中国报]
中國‧北京15日綜合電）史上第1金，馬來西亞來了！

承載奪取大馬首枚奧運金牌使命的男單“一哥”李宗偉，在今日奧運羽球賽首場半決賽，靠著出色的網前技術與堅定的鬥志，力戰3局以21比18、13比21及21比13擊退韓國名將李炫一，勇闖決賽，掃除奪牌路上一大障礙。

宗偉將在週日晚爆發的男單決賽，出戰中國第一單打林丹，后者在另一場半決賽，拿下隊友陳金。

闖決賽后，李宗偉的勝利也確保大馬至少可獲一面銀牌，但對于在奧運史上金牌空白的馬來西亞，金牌更是大家的期待。

羽球在1992年奧運正式列為競技運動，大馬羽球隊取得1銀2銅，最佳成績是1996年阿特蘭大，當時身為目前大馬隊總教練的葉錦福，夥拍謝順吉在男雙取得銀牌。

為激勵大馬軍團有更好表現，政府也在之前宣佈，奪金的獎金從16萬令吉激增至100萬令吉。

今晚的半決賽，除了北京工業大學體育館近1萬人觀賽，在大馬各大城鎮的羽球迷，也坐在電視機前收看精彩的現場直播，齊為大馬“一哥”加油。

賽前雖被預料是激戰，但第一局開始，宗偉就展開凌厲的進攻，以10比5拉開一個相當保險的優勢。

兩人持續在防守與進攻對峙，但網前出色的宗偉依舊將比分距離保持在3分之內，而出名難纏的李炫一也沒讓宗偉好過，一度拉近至18比17。

但當李炫一取回主動權，他在開關鍵一球時發球不過網，斷送好局；讓宗偉再度以19比17拉開，炫一失去一個大好形勢的取分機會，宗偉快速以21比18取勝。

次局，李炫一易邊后不坐以待斃主動出擊，經過6平糾纏后，李炫一發力打出一個10比0的得分潮，以16比6拉開。

次號種子李宗偉在一輪低潮后狂追，接連扳回4分至16比10，但李炫一最終以21比13扳回一局。

炫一陳金爭銅牌

第3局宗偉一開始就打出10比3高潮，李炫一發力再追，在易邊時追近至11比7。

易邊后兩人一度的距離僅有1分，但此時宗偉再度靠著出色的網前演出與對手的失誤，一個8比1得分潮以19比11領先，大勢已去的炫一已無力再追，最終宗偉以21比13結束纏鬥，堅實的向金牌之路踏去。

落敗的李炫一，將在明日的銅牌戰對陳金。

宗偉在賽后也說，決賽碰上林丹，將是五十對五十的比賽，但他會加強防守。

MED 2042- 4th Semester

1st day of my 4th semester of my medical study......There're so much fun to catch up with all the coursemates and friends..and also keep my pace and mood back to University from the sweet relaxing winter break.

The 1st hour with all the introduction led me to so much loads of this semester with all those assignments ahead, CBP, SPC, Human Lifespan development project, and etc with more and more on anatomy, endocrinology, histology, reproductive system...etc...
AND ....last but not least the VIA (Vertical Integrated Assessment)= everything in 1st and 2nd yr!!! That exam will take everyone life and time for revisions!!

Anyway, we need to go and look ahead...all the best to everyone and Gambate for this semester. :)

Holiday ending soon....

This winter break is going to end soon and it's the 2nd last day of my holiday!!!
Unbelievable, the holiday is always seemed so short and it's gone in like split of seconds.
Anyway we're really had fun during this winter break though we didn't go interstate and only tour around Victoria. It's remarkable for us to see SNOW and visited Ballarat, one of the best tourist attractions in Victoria. ANd also we did have a bird-view of the whole Melbourne city N Port Phillips bay from the Eureka Tower. It's really memorable. To take note that, I also helped in MONASH Orientation 2008 to fully utilise my holiday.

Here are some of the photos taken during the trips.

Anyway..Good luck for everyone and myself for the upcoming challenges on MED 2042 :)

国会议员：除了马来人‧其他种族是外来移民？！？！？

巴西沙叻议员：除了马来人‧其他种族是外来移民

2008-07-02 11:25

（吉隆坡）巴西沙叻区国会议员达祖丁指出，大马是马来人的土地，除了马来人，其他种族都是外来移民者，这是新一代必须明白的事实。

他说，大多数大学生已忘记大马的歷史，误以为马来亚共產党是国家的英雄，但事实上，巫统才是为国爭取独立的英雄。

此外，他指出，政府不应为了帮助非土著学生，而牺牲土著学生获得奖学金的机会。

因此，他不同意將土著与非土著获得奖学金的比率调整为55对45，并坚持政府应维持土著学生获得80%奖学金的特权。

达祖丁週二（7月1日）在国会下议院辩论第九大马计划中期检討报告时指出，虽然政府应帮助成绩良好的非土著学生，但这不代表要牺牲土著学生的福利。

他说，国內私立大学求学的学生有30万人，土著学生比率不超过10%；但在国立大学方面，土著与非土著学生的比率却不相上下，对国內人力资源发展方面会產生阻碍。

他认为，土著学生的人力资源发展应获得一定的关注，并吁请高教部关注大学生的素质。
星洲日报‧2008.07.02

阅读了以上文章，大家有什么感想？

马来西亚独立将要51年了，超过半世纪，多元种族已永远成了马来西亚的特征。这不是事实吗？
难道每个马来西亚人，没对国家做出贡献吗？
为何还有人为不能更改的历史而争吵不休？
为何还要永远徘徊在历史的圈套理？
为何不要抛开历史的包袱，好好的携手合作一起为这个国家创造个美好的将来？
难道世上这样多典范的先进国不是多元种族，和睦共处，一起为国家奋斗吗？
为何不“取人之长，补己之短"? 让他国公平的政策,制度或其它种种模范在马来西亚执行吗？

......

Holiday!!!

19 June 2008
After few weeks of swoc wat, finally we are free!!! After 5 days of exam, now I only update my blog. LOL. In these 5 days, everything was so fun without stress!! World changed upside down.. on 19 June 2008, we (Lin, Jessica, Yung Ying & I) had dinner with Sheryl’s mum and grandma. The food were really delicious there, yummy… But the best part was we all were in a car travelling on the road, but didn’t have any idea where to go and what to do!! We’re shouting in the car with the ideas and comments from 5 people. Inside the car was fully blasted with laugh and fun!!! Ended up we had an ice-cream in Cold-rock and sang K in Lin’s room!!! (CK and ZP, we didn’t even reach Glen Waverly for K singing).

Happy Birthday, Yi Chin :)

20 June 2008
We ‘re jus doing nothing much at home, mostly resting and watching movies!! Suddenly when I was having nap, Chau Wang banged in and invited us to have a movie (The Chronicles of Narnia- Prince Caspian) in Glen Waverly!! In less than 10 min, we decided to go and left halls!!! Everything was so rush till Yun Ying even forgot to bring her wallet…and we just managed to board onto bus when we’re running to the bus stop!!! It’s really a good movie and we had a Vietnamese dinner. Yummy, I love that Vietnamese coffee… (Clarice, guess u like that coffee as well )

21 June 2008
Shopping day!!! Initially was main for groceries shopping, but we bought so much from K-Mart!!! I got my lovely speakers (2 Altec-Lansing speakers with a woofer). The sound is so good and now I really enjoying so much of watching movies and listening to songs in my room!! And we had a early celebration for Nooi Hoay’s birthday!!! Hope u like that Wasabi rice ball I made though maybe not powerful enough. My neighbor, hope u like that carrot I made o..:) Happy birthday!!! No matter what u are OLD now!! :P

My lovely speakers...:)

22 June 2008
Ling Weng, see I went to city to meet u :).... but is really good to meet you all (Ling Weng, Yee Fang, Yi Theng and Yi Jia). It’s been so long never see u guys, guess 1 yr since your last visit to Melbourne. Though just a shot lunch, and u all just transit here 12 hrs to New Zealand. Have fun over there. A new discovery in Melbourne, I had the first ever delicious roast pork in Melbourne!! It’s really so tasty…again FOOD…. Also, after lunch, Yun Ying and I went to St Kilda for a walk there, another discovery that we never see the whole St Kilda area during our first visit last year. We just barely visit a small part of St Kilda beach, and didn’t even know about the famous cake houses in St Kilda. Eventually, we visited the beach again, and definitely the whole area hopefully. And we got sth special for one of our friends in Deakin Hall, for his/her birthday from St Kilda art market. And sure for the famous cake bakery, we bought a slice of famous cheese cake home!!! FOOD…AGAIN…but..is nostalgic...

23 & 24June 2008
Nothing much was done other than having much and much more rest and more movies. Movies were so good with the speakers, no more headphone is needed though the sound quality is not really good. Badminton was so fun after so long never have time for my body work out…I did some great moves and return. Haaa

25 June 2008
Thanks to Jessica of planning and making the trip to Mt Dandenong a success. The weather was so sunny but the wind was so strong to blow people away. The Port Phillips bay where the whole Melbourne metropolitan and Geelong located can be seen with naked eyes!!! Even the MONASH University can be marked on the view. In the jungle, the scenery was like in the movie of Narnia or Harry Potter, definitely countless of pictures were taken. I never imagine MY back up plan to puffing billy was going to work. As everyone was too freezing to have a jungle walk around the mount area, we eventually went to Puffing Billy, one of the world most welcomed steam trains in the world. It’s though a bit expensive for trip from Belgrave to Emerald, but was really enjoyable as we had the whole room for ourselves. The photos will be uploaded soon. Everyone was so ‘high’ on the journey, we even invited to have a look on the locomotive engine, how the steam engine worked by burning black coal. And we also meet the other train on Menzius Creek station while I ran over to get the greatest ever opportunistic photo with the moving steam train, (thanks to Jessica also). LOL. Eventually everyone was tired, and we awarded ourselves with the mouthwatering Korean BBQ dinner in Clayton…uhmmmm…….FOOD again!!!! :P

***Fun still on for the holiday, though we are not going interstate, Victoria and Melbourne can still have so much fun…

Here is the Picture!! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=45940&l=ac078&id=503833486

Happy Birthday, daddy!!!

To my dear daddy,

Happy Birthday!! It's another year I am not at home to celebrate your birthday with you and family. I really wish that I can be back home to have the family time with everyone in the family. I love the feeling of being home, being loved by everyone. You can be my hero, my lovely daddy, my friend or my brother at anytime.

Daddy, always take care and have rest. Don't get yourself too busy and must relax as well. Hope you like the present I buy later when I bring it back home in the end of the year. :)

Love you.

Fact???

I got this in my email, it's really interesting, but is it fact?
Anyone free to check up, pls dun forget to give any comments. :)

BUTTER VS. MARGARINE

Pass The Butter ~ ~ ~ ~ This is interesting . . .

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys.

When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.

It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter.

How do you like it?

They have come out with some clever new flavorings.

DO YOU KNOW...the difference between margarine and butter?

Read on to the end...gets very interesting!

Both have the same amount of calories.

Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.

Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.

Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.

Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added!

Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.

Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.

And now, for Margarine...

Very high in transfatty acids.

Triple risk of coronary heart disease.

Increases total cholesterol and LDL(this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDLcholesterol, (the good cholesterol)

Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.

Lowers quality of breast milk.

Decreases immune response.

Decreases insulin response.

And here's the most disturbing fact....

HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC...

This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).

You can try this yourself:

Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area.

Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:

* No flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)

* It does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value

*Nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weenie microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.

Why?

Because it is nearly plastic.

*Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

甚么是“约定”？和你一起决定做的事，就是全世界最重要的约定……“约定是最好的礼物，送给你最想约定的人”这是新买的书上標题，很醒目，让我忍不住买下来了，因为它让我想到你，想到我们的约定，我们还有很多约定吧？虽然多数都是在不经意或隨口许下的，但也已构成承诺了吧？也代表那时的你的心情吧？

別为了因为要实现承诺而去做某件事情，或在许诺之后因为要兑现承诺而觉得麻烦，那会抹煞你许下承诺时的庄重虔诚心情。请好好记住：那时的你为何要说出那句话？因为那个理由而去努力吧，那会让你觉得世界因此而美丽；而我，是被你那时的诚恳真实而感动而期待你的表现，请別让自己“嫌麻烦”的心情破坏了对彼此的信任和价值。

只要一个小小的约定，就可以改变关係；只要一个小小的约定，就可以產生爱的力量，你相信吗？你愿意吗？

餐桌上的炸鸡腿 * 副刊 * 星云

2008-05-26 16:47

今天放工回家，看见餐桌上的一盘炸鸡腿很惊讶，以为妈妈来了。那一刻我无法回过神来，满脑海里都是妈妈的影子和我们小时候调皮的模样。那一盘炸得金黄色的鸡腿，让我想起好多好多的童年回忆。

小时候，妈妈很喜欢炸鸡，因为她知道我们个个都爱吃，尤其是我和弟弟。还记得小的时候，每当闻到香喷喷的炸鸡就会跑到厨房，站在旁边等在油锅里游泳的炸鸡上岸，然后用最快的速度放进嘴里，深怕它会突然跑掉。但大多数都会吐出来，因为太烫了，这时候妈妈就会用嘲笑的口气骂我们：“真笨，这么热怎么吃？烫伤了想吃都没得吃，等会再吃吧！”为了不让那美味的炸鸡流入別人口里，我们只好乖乖地听话。有炸鸡的那顿饭，我们等得特別心急也特別开心。我最爱吃鸡腿，弟弟也是。所以妈妈常说：“幸好，一只鸡有两条腿，不然你和弟弟俩就要爭个你死我活了。”还好，哥哥姐姐们都会把那两只鸡腿留给我和弟弟，要不然真不知妈妈要到哪儿找一只有四五条腿的鸡才好呢！

长大以后，我还是最爱鸡腿，但不是炸的。因为太油腻了，也因为爱美的关系，所以对炸鸡腿是又爱又恨，爱它的美味恨它的肥腻。但今天不一样，看到那很久很久以前就爱的炸鸡腿，我放纵自己，把一只又大又肥的鸡腿啃个精光，那种小小的满足和幸福好久没出现过。里面有妈妈的味道也有童年的回忆，所以吃起来特別开味，特別好吃。那久违的炸鸡腿，真让人怀念。

Zoom Out

望着堆积如山的课业，望着窗外浓雾朦胧的大地。。。
真是感触良多，脑海中闪过无数的脑波，
1。 冬天的到来，让我喜爱的秋天刮走了。
2。 浓浓的雾把握窗前的美景披上神秘的面纱。。。

望着墙上的Poster, 好想回去在西巴丹岛的那一刻。。。好怀念那优美的人间仙境。。。






劲彦，不要做白日梦了！！！
还是该好好的准备课业！！！ ：P

Police??? 警察？？

From Sin Chew Daily:

“现场警员袖手旁观”‧皇冠城居民挺身指证

皇冠城居民：手无寸铁‧“3人不可能企图谋杀”

从近期的马来西亚新闻,皇冠城的点点滴滴......实在令人费解!!!
1. 大道公司建路堤封路...
2. 居民拆路堤....
3. 居民抗议封路...

在事情发展越复杂的时候,经让发生居民的一群似私会党的人殴打!!!



这报章的评论让人深思.....

评论：郑丁贤‧谁人企图谋杀？

2008-05-30 19:17

这是什么世界！

新闻照片，是一个血流如注的年轻伤者。

年轻人鼻青脸肿，满身鲜血；不，他不是四川地震的受害者；他是皇冠城路口，一场奇怪的衝突下的伤者。

新闻標题写著：有人可能被控企图谋杀罪。

我还以为，把这个年轻人打成这个模样的人，要面对企图谋杀控状。

我搞错了。

面对企图谋杀罪名的，原来是被打得血肉模糊的年轻人，以及他同车的朋友。

至於那些打人者，根据內政部副部长曹智雄说，他到现在都还没有听说有警察涉及打人。

“警方是受过训练的专业人士，他们能很好的执行任务，保护市民。”我引述这位副部长的回应。

我还是有点糊涂。

没有武器，没有动机，没有攻击行为，还被打得惨不忍睹，送进医院急救的人，怎么会是“企图谋杀”？

而受过专业训练，全副武装，“保护市民”的警察，原来才是受害人，险些遭到“谋杀”。

警方说，这名年轻人要开车闯路障，撞警察。

年轻人说，他是看到路障，想要U转，却被警方拦住，拖下车痛殴。

路障被闯了吗？

是哪一名警察被撞？受伤了吗？有没有送进医院验伤？

对不起，警方没有说明。

不管真相如何，我想，碰到类似情况，应该有更加和平、文明的处理方法。

首先，没有人会刻意闯路障，除非他们是盗匪或重度酒驾。

假使警方怀疑有人要闯路障，可以示意对方停车。

要是对方没停下来，可能是没看清楚，或情急之下，无法控制车速和方向。

万一擦撞到路障或警察，警方可以请对方下车，瞭解情况，必要的话，移送警局调查。

按照程序规定，平和处理；没有人会受到额外伤害，警方也妥善完成任务。问题解决。

但是，不分青红皂白，先把人拖下车，痛殴一顿。

当事人被定罪了吗？即使他犯错，警方就能够动用私刑吗？

內政部和警方，要查明真相，还当事人一个公道，也向社会大眾作正確的交待。

Summer Holiday--Home... sweet home

Yeah, I went back Malaysia for my first ever summer break. Due to the budget, I took a budget airline, Tiger Airways from Melbourne to Singapore. It took all my energy and my sleep. Though I had some sleep on flight, but due to the transit which took place in Darwin (we got to check-out and check-in again in 2 hrs time + immigration procedures). It's feeling like in Sona room---> the super hot and stuffy weather in Darwin, made me feel so glad that I am not studying in Darwin.
Reached singapore at 4 am in the morning after an exhausted journey. In Singapore, thanks to my aunt and cousin of treating me and keep us company during the half day, when I was waiting for my train in the evening.
Yeah, feeling so good to be home, to be in my sweet home, the place where I took my 1st step in my life, the place I grow up, the place i am always being loved, the place I am so familiar with, the feeling of home, the feeling of great relationships and ties with everyone....I love my home, my family, my village, my friends...etc. really miss it so much. I never leave home for so long, and i am back.... that feeling of happiness and .......i am so indulged at the feeling of home and also busy helping up in tidying up and cleaning the house for CNY. The houseworks I used to do at home, become my enjoyments...

I love my family....:)
