最后一次

前两天,和朋友去看了一出电影《Tsunami》,
故事情节有几幕很感人。。。
天灾的杀伤威力,真的难以控制,
数上万的人命,就在短短的这一刻无情地被夺走。
生命,就这样的难以估计,
这一刻的你,或许还很享受着这世界,
可是,下一刻的你,或许就这样的与世隔绝了。。。

同一天的那个下午,
午餐时间和我的senior讲到有关“死亡”。
我问:“你惊唔惊死geh?”
他答:“勿惊!有咪野好惊!死咪死咯。。人都系会死個啦。如果系病死geh,gum就惊啦,因为系一种折磨。。。如果系睡到死geh话,就厶咪野好惊啦,因为睡觉系好舒服geh,就算死左都唔知啦。。。”
我问:“gum你有厶念过人死左会点样個叻?即是讲死左人会去边到。。。”
他答:“gum又厶念过wor。。净系念过人死左個个mastermind会点样geh,gum要读gum多书来做么ler,不如厶读咯。。。”
小时候,有时睡不着,会想到死亡后的自己会怎样又怎样,会想很多很多。。。
现在,对死亡会看的很开了,享受人生就是了。

这个星期,得知一名朋友的爷爷刚逝世了,
上星期他还很高兴的告诉说帮他的爷爷庆祝80大寿,过后还去唱K。
我还道:“你爷爷真geng哦,80岁了还可以去唱K!”
只是相隔一星期,就这样和挚亲阴阳分隔了。
这真的是世事难料。。
还和另外一个朋友开玩笑地说,他的爷爷回光返照,过了80岁生日,又可以唱到K,心愿已了,所以安心离去。。。这只是我们纯粹讲讲罢了,没有别意。愿你爷爷能早日登往极日世界,阿祢陀佛。

《最后一次》,
昨天在一个博友那边看到这首歌的MV,首次接触,就喜欢上了它的旋律动听,反复听了很多遍。。。
今天又在FB看到一个朋友share这首歌的动画版,也反复听了很多遍。。。
背后的故事真假成分有多少,不必去介会,
感人的一首歌,《最后一次》,请用心的世界聆听。。。




在写这篇博文时,被外面的一阵巨响吵到,
望窗外一看,原来是一辆直升机,它在我家外面的一带的上空照射旋转了几圈,不懂做什么。。。
快快拿起相机,把这一幕拍下了:












像是一团极日之光,带领迷失的人儿步上归途的天国。。。
菩提本无树,明镜亦非台,
本来无一物,何处惹尘埃。。。

人生的必经之道,
生老病死,不灭的轮回。。。

Delicious













十月二号那天, 去了谷中城的Delicious吃晚餐,
自己order了以下的:
一份cheese burger@RM24.90
和一杯Earl Grey Tea@RM7.90










其实是因为美仪从怡保下来,
还有要提早帮Candy庆祝生日,
所以有了这个聚会,
Candy,再一次在这里对你说:
“生日快乐”
(哈哈,虽然我知道你没有看我的布落格)。















自从大家毕业后,就各散东西,
朝自己的梦想家前进。。。
回想起来,真的很怀念我们7人一起走过的点点滴滴,
两年内的时间说长不长,说短不短,
可是累积的MEMORIES就足以让我们回忆一辈子了。

然而,毕业后再次完整7人的gathering,
总显得格外珍惜。。。












Delicious@Midvalley 02.10.2009












Garden @ 1U 08.08.2009

当天,其实发生一点格外意想不到惊险的事情,
自己当时正要去见教授有东西要讨论,
同时另一边还有一些很烦的事情一直在“催”,
然而,同时的这一刻却收到来电知道你出事了,
怎么办!!!真的很担忧!!
我不会分身术,那刻真的很想立刻走人,
可是不能。。。

这种事情,我们不会拿来开玩笑,
在外靠朋友,可是你却选择不相信我们,
幸好以“瞒天过海”的妙计,
能够悬崖勒马,
知道你安全的那一刻,才松了口气。。。
“智者千虑,必有一失”,
不得不认同。。。

Gathering后半夜回家途中,
看到一场车祸,整辆车倒翻过来了,
玻璃碎片满路皆是。。
一些路过者都纷纷停下车向前营救被卡在车内的伤者,
也把那倒翻了的车倒转回来。。
很怕那车会随时爆炸,也有一股很想向前帮忙的冲动,
可是爱莫能助,眼角这时流下泪了。。。

Candy这个星期日正式“飞”了,
他坚定自己的意志,再经过两个月的训练,
十月九号那天毕业,终于如愿以偿了。
他的首站---“飞”向中国。。
祝你前程似锦标 ^.^

各有各忙了,
还好我们还有每星期一次一起吃午餐的约定,
还有每星期一次的打羽毛球活动。
往后的日子,
完整7人的gathering应该会很难得了。。

Come as strangers,
leave as friends。。。

The Ice Breaker

Today, did not do any labwork except for the whole-day patient data key-in. Actually plan to organize the patient sample which is stored in the freezer room at Menara Timur there. The microbiology lab in Menara Timur there is currently under construction. New labs, new toilet, new reception counter, new computer room, new offices, new freezer, new cabinet and a lot of new stuffs... Is it UM now is very rich? perhaps UM is always rich not only now! Not only this microbiology lab is renovated, but then i also can notice a lot of constructions were carried out in the UM area at the same time : carpark near IPS, 12th collage carpark, the road go to KL gate,science faculty canteen area, the land near Faculty of Alam Bina, the land near GYM 1, area near DTC etc...This is the big construction that i can notice and in the progression. I'm not sure whether there still got other big/small construction is on-going which i can't notice. Plus UM is really big, and i didn't go round the whole UM, perhaps there also got some constructions in the other side of the UM...who knows!!













Back to the freezer room, the temperature inside is 4ºC and there still got another freezer room after this 4ºC freezer room, which is -20ºC. My research sample is actually stored in this -20ºC freezer room. However, there got accumulation of ice which blocks us from open the -20ºC freezer room door. I think nobody has enter this freezer room for quite a long time and my last visit to there is 3 months ago. And here the time for being the "ICE-BREAKER"...Haha, not me definitely but is my senior, break the ice by using the hammer...Its really super cold inside the freezer room and i really can't "tahan" it even though i had wear the thick jacket. Not until few minutes i go inside there then quickly i "run" out...and now i'm wondering how am I going to do all this sample organizing and collection alone next time in this "North Pole". I think i'm better learn how to become a polar bear..haha...tomorrow and rest of this week also will pay a visit to this FREEZER ROOM!!

Lunch time actually plan to go 6th college with my labmates. Out of sudden receive a call from my DR, "invite" us for a lunch!! So good MAN!! Rupa-rupa is the "Deeparaya" lunch for all the Department of Medical Microbiology, means that the post-Hari Raya and pre-Deepavali lunch celebration.This is the first time eat for free in this department, and i can save around RM7 for my lunch. Not bad the food also. My Dr. actually say want to belanja us to eat a good one but then until now...where is the GOOD MEAL???

Recently UM manage to "squeeze" itself in the top 200 universities in the world. UM is currently ranked 180 and is the best university in Malaysia. In fact, UM had done a lot strategies to increase its ranking. UM has recruit many foreign lecturer and also foreign students. But then, is it this increased ranking means that the better quality produced also? Look at yourself and think it twice.

Step by step,
and being toward the best...

对调

搬回UT有一个星期了,
终于回到UT住了,
有自己的空间了。
搬家其间,其实发生了一点事,
那时真的很恼很讨厌,
人,真的有时需要一点点的残忍。。。

是巧?是缘分?
向左走,向右走。

以前的我,
住在B1401,因毕业了打算回家,
就把自己的房间空位租出去(一间房两个人),
结果租给了一个由B1405搬近来的女生。
之后我回隆了,还在马大医药学院当RA,
所以希望可以住回UT(因为方便)。
其实之前也有找到几间的,
只是不合我心。
如果可以的话,
我一定要有洗衣机(因为我很懒),
我要有热水器(因为我很怕冲冷水藻),
最好不要master room 。。。
东找西找,
不料,就找到这间了,
我竟然搬进B1405了,

我把房间租给了从B1405搬进来的人,
没想到,我却搬进他搬出来的房间。。。
就是说那个人从B1405搬到B1401,
而我就从B1401搬到B1405。
同一个Block, 同一个floor,
只是一个在左一个在右,
两间Unit都是在corner side。
以前的我一出升降机,就往左边走,
而现在就要往右边走了。。。

————————————————————————
刚搬进来的室友,是从UKM来的,
美女一个。。。
就真的是那么地巧,
她也是在医药学院当RA(他才刚进来不久),
那边有很多的department,
不料,我却和他同属一个Department,
她的lab就在我隔壁罢了。。

—————————————————————————
室友生日缘分:
前前后后共有三位室友。

大学第一年的我,住在宿舍。
第一个室友的生日,同是在7月份,
同是巨蟹座,
我的生日在7/14,她却在7/4,
生日日期很像hor。。。

大学第二年的我,搬去UT住了。
第二个室友的生日,也同样在七月份,
不过她的生日却与我的名字和学生证巧合,
我喜欢的别名-Shan7, (37/307/0307/3070??)
学生证即是307,
而她的生日就是307,即是7月30日了。。。

大学毕业后,又搬回UT了。
现在室友的生日,哈哈。。不是在7月份,
那有什么巧呢?
我add她的msn,
她突然惊讶地问我为什么放417 (我的email add),
因为我的生日啊,不过是倒翻过来的。。嘻嘻
原来她的生日就是417,即是4月17日,
看到417,还以为巧到同年同月同日出生,
然而还是可以这么地巧。。。

——————————————————————————
我用的相机品牌是Olympus,
之前会注意有没有人和我用相同品牌的相机,
可是都找不到。
系友们都是Canon的忠实支持者,
知道有本身相机的6个系友,他们都是用Canon的。
哈密瓜Family也有很多人有相机,
可是也没有一个用Olympus的。
身边一些有相机的朋友也一样,
都不是用Olympus的。

真是所唯的“不打不相识”。。。
在实验室里有时需要拍照,
才发觉有带相机来的全部都是用Olympus的,
就真的这么巧了,我知道的全部竟然都是用Olympus的!!
我的lecturer和我一样,同样用μ series的防水相机,可是不同model;
另外一个labmate也是用μ series 的,他的那部相机,是我曾想过要买的;
还有另外两个用FE series的,
就是说在那个lab里,包括我共有5个用Olympus的相机了。
另外在Lab里面也有一个很专业的相机,是要用来capture gel image的,
同样的,也是Olympus品牌。。。巧~~

——————————————————————————
最近知道一些事,
有值的高兴的,
有值的分担的,
也有值的担忧的。。。

感情事,
对的,就很好;
不对的,就哀恼。

Family一直以来的传统/“诅咒”终于破解了 ^.^

站在角落, 静静地看世界;
不同的角落,不同的领悟。

First seminar @ Seegene

This was my first seminar since i joined as RA 3 months ago in Department of Medical Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine. This seminar was held in PJ Hilton Hotel which was regarding a launching seminar of a Seeplex® Molecular Diagnostics "for multiple pathogen detection at once".

Seminar = listen for gaining knowlegde
The seminar started at around 9am with a welcome delivery short speech by our chairperson -Prof Ngeow from our department. After that, there had few session of talks by the related field expert. One of them is Dr. Dae-Hoon Lee who is the principle researcher, director of laboratory of Seegene Inc., Korea. In the seminar, I can meet with Dr. Tang (my LI supervisor's supervisor) coincidentally. I pass in front of him but i can't manage to see him, but then he called me and say hello first. Its really paiseh ar... Normally, when i attend any talk, sure i'll feel sleepy and "fishing", but then it is the first time i stayed awake all the time and listen to what the expert presenting ...its really unbelievable.

Seminar = eat for free
During the tea break time, it was a buffet style breakfast served with nasi lemak, chicken, "ikan bilis", peanut, spicy cuttlefish, and some bread. OMG, is it all the invited guests were too hungry? I can see some of them really take a lot, its really a lot. I agreed that me and my labmates were late to came out to take our food, but then won't the food almost finished so fast gua!! In fact, I also agreed that the prepared food was really not enough!! What to do? At the end, 4 pieces of chicken shared among three of us .. and I'm still manage to take a very small portion of nasi lemak with little ikan bilis + peanut. I missed the looked-like delicious bread. T..T

During the lunch time, the same situation occurred again even though it is also a buffet style lunch. That time when is our turn to take the food, its only leave a bit but then luckily the food was refilled. Not bad the food served in the hotel. After we took the food, then only we noticed that all the tables were almost fully occupied, maybe there had one empty seat in some tables. OMG, where should we sit? the organizer staffs had also tried help us to look for the three empty places. Surprisingly, we were suddenly directed to sit in the "reserved table". OMG, reserved table ler..what do u think of?? We had our lunch together (same table) with the director Dr. Dae-Hoon Lee and other high authority people-in-charge. Really paiseh. Its really a big contrast of position, just like a very low position worker and the CEO of a company. Luckily my senior is there and can "handle" the situation. Haha, i just sit quietly and enjoy my lunch. By the way, my lecturer sit in the same table (next to our table) with other Prof from other universities and we manage to hear that they had the scientific discussion even during the lunch time. Don't be surprise as this is normal when the researcher meet with researcher. Won't they talk about what fashion what marketing what sport gua..haha.

seminar = demostrate for invention.
There has a session where the newly machine was demonstrated how to use- LAB901 Screen Tape System. Normally, for the PCR, the result is analyzed based on gel electrophoresis. However, with this machine, the PCR result is analysed by the installed software while connecting to a PC without casting gel. Its really a time-saving by using this machine as the whole process is just like around 20 minutes from PCR until the result is out. Up to 15 samples can be carried out at the same time by using this machine. and, this machine can be used for multiplex PCR purpose. However, i think that this machine is limited for diagnostic used only as only the installed ready-program test can be carried out. Haha..an expert (Mr. Daniel? forget the name) demonstrated to us how to use the machine and how the result is being analysed. But then, after the PCR is done, the on-the-spot result is not really perfect and immediately, he open the-yesterday-perfect result and explain it. haha.. I think there not much people realizing that the result is yesterday (from the date of analysis which is not really obvious to notice). Actually myself also not realizing it and is my senior told me about that. Besides that, my senior also being called out as volunteer to demonstrate how to prepare the reagent mixture.

Seminar = Luck for sure
There also had a quiz session in this seminar, not in the end of the seminar but throughout the seminar. Meaning that in some of the talk, there have 2 questions each end of the talk, hence, u have to listen and concentrate on what the presenter is presenting, or else u will miss the answer. And i think that this is the purpose of having this quiz, so that the audience won't fall asleep during the talk. Totally there have 1o questions and 10 prizes. The winner is determined by the most correct answer. If there have more than 10 people score the highest mark, then the winner is determined by lucky draw among those with the highest mark. End of the seminar, its time for announcing the winner, expectably, there got a lot of people score full marks in the quiz. Its not surprise as all the guests there are very profession, either Professor, Doctor, lecturer, scientist, research assistant or related field expert. Plus, the questions are not that difficult actually, but i also gt 1 or 2 question "curi tengok" my labmates...Haha, this is called sharing!! Time for lucky draw...we are quite looking forward to get the lucky draw present, but then we not sure that our answer is whether all correct or not. From the last prize till the first three "big" prizes, our name still not appearing, maybe we are not lucky enough that day or we can't score full in the quiz. The other lab from UM too already have 3 winners. Waiting and out of sudden, my name was called out..Wow, i get the first three big prizes (all are same). Guess what I can get? A SANDWICH MAKER ... Haha, not bad. Next time i can have my bread toast. Its really lucky.

Seminar = get for souvenir
Its always have some souvenir whenever attending any seminar or conference. Hehe, there is the complementary gift from Seegene, a Korea company - a traditional dance fan. Its beautiful and i like it much also. Besides that, there is also pen, paper file and note book from ALL EIGHTS, the co-organizer of the seminar. And, pencil and letter paper from PJ Hilton Hotel. Together also some brochures and information flyers about the new technology machine and seminar-related stuffs.













The seminar ended around 5pm and we skipped the afternoon tea break. Its really a new experiences for me and I was exposured to the scientific world. Knowledge gained from the process of learning. And hope that i can survive in this advanced bio-world. SEEGENE, see the gene....

* 之后三天都有朋友生日:
8: Candy
9: 王媚
10:采杏
<生日快乐>

Practice makes perfect;
Confidence makes beauty.

马芙之中秋夜

马六甲,
这是第二次到访,
而上一次已是五年前的事了。。。
这是一个很早就计划好行程,
3-4日10月2009年的马芙之旅,
续沙巴毕业之旅后再一次的出击,
可是却只有我们六人去,
在加上另外两个朋友,共八人。。。












先到芙蓉,把东西放好后,
就往马六甲出发了。
今天的天气真的不作美,
雨,从早一直下到晚上,
还好不是很大,
也偶尔停了一阵,
好让我们能够捕摄这古城之景点。。。
把车停泊在靠近海洋博物馆的一个停车场,
超便宜,一整天的收费才RM2。

这次的行程是Zach编排的(真难得),
他负责做网上资料搜查,所以,
接下来的活动,就是走走啦,吃吃啦,拍照啦。。。









Donald & Lily Corner,在鸡场街,
这间出名Nyonya食物,
所以就打算去吃,
可惜我们去到时已经卖完了,
所以就随便order几样share share吃。。。











去马六甲吃鸡饭粒肯定少不了,
来到这间中华茶室,
它的店铺看起来很简陋,
没有特别地装饰,
据说是全马六甲最出名,最好吃了,
而我们也闻名而赴,
也跟着人龙一样在外拿着雨伞排队等待招待。
然后就这样到处走走拍拍,
也拍一些马六甲的历史古迹。。。

古城 A Famosa















Christ Church Melaka 1753

















荷兰红屋












海洋博物馆, 可是没有进去














其它景点























Menara Taming Sari Melaka,
First Revolving "Gyro Tower" in Malaysia,
一人RM10。。。












我们犹豫了很久,最后还是坐了,
不会感觉很怕,可是里面的冷气很冷。









升上高空,从80米高俯视这马六甲古城。
下次应该不会再坐了,
因为也真的没有什么特别。









本来要打算去葡萄牙村路口对面吃Nasi Lemak,
朋友介绍那边的Nasi Lemak很好吃,
可惜不懂怎样去,所以
又回到了鸡场街(Jonker Street)。










晚间的鸡场街,别有一番风味,
喜欢这里,感觉很有亲切感。
在这里的一间小食店,是朋友介绍的,
也是看起来很简陋的,主要是吃cendol,
有芒果cendol,有榴莲cendol,还有其它小吃,
我order了芒果cendol,真的是很好吃很好吃,
还有那Gula Melaka,一级棒。。










鸡场街这里也有卖各式古灵精怪的东西,
自己也买了一个双截棍来玩玩。。哈哈
朋友也有介绍一间酒吧:Geografer地理学家,
可是我们没有进去。
碰巧当晚是中秋节,那边也有举办中秋晚会。
也有一个不懂什么何英辉的人要表演一指神功,
可惜我们要离开时表演还没有开始,错过了,
也到了Tan Kim Hock的店买了一些当地出名的土产。










身在马六甲,satay celup也不能放过,
去了万里香(Ban Lee Siang),也是很出名的一间,
八人的我们,共吃了145串。
本身觉得satay celup没有什么特别,
不会特别好吃,那沙爹酱也不是我要的那一种,
还是觉得槟城北海光华小学附近的一间碌碌店比较好吃,
喜欢那边的satay celup。。
当然,satay celup还是马六甲的食物代表作,
还有鸡饭粒,要吃这两种食物,
人们就会自然而然想到要去马六甲了。










马六甲后就回到芙蓉,
晚上在慧的男朋友家住。
一路上我睡着了,真的累 ~~
那天也是中秋节,
打算到那边庆中秋,
我就提议每人带一粒月饼,
结果他们每个都有带,
而提议的我却没有带,嘻嘻。。。
可是到了最后都没有庆祝到,
大家都真的很累了,
回到家冲凉后就立刻睡了,
结果,就这样过了一个没有吃到月饼的中秋节。

还是要祝大家:中秋节快乐











隔天,就在芙蓉市到处逛逛,
要去吃出名的牛肉面,可是那店当天没有开,
还好有买到出名的芙蓉烧包,
大约下午两点多,就往吉隆坡的路驶去。。

除了槟城,马六甲也让我身感归属感,
所以,马六甲我会再次再次地到访。

距离,
很玄的一种感觉。。。
