May be we are the origin

From smart phones to hybrid vehicles to cordless power drills, devices we all desire are made with a pinch of rare earths.(National Geography March 2011)

I can't resist to write this historical green event in Malaysia. We all say NO to Lynas an Ausralia mining company which built a refining site in Kuantan. There is no transparency in approving this company's operation and it is offered a 12-year tax exemption.In addition, there is no proper policies for the radioactive dumping wastes.Credit to this green tragedy, I now understand what is rare earth, what it is used for through National Geography in library n also its featured article. Rare earth is a very important material used in electronic manufacturing include our daily needed cell phone, computer and even car or batteries. This material exists in almost everything around us especially in this technology-based era.

Our country once had been the victim of the mining factory of rare earth. It was located in Bukit Merah, Perak. It is heart-wrenching to know there are some former workers bear the effect like giving birth of defect babies, having leukemia. The land is severely polluted. We paid our health n lands for the money.

Therefore, this time people are more educated n civilised. We protect our rights,our lands,n our home. There is a hot wave in defensing Lynas. There are videos,short films,pictures and peaceful demonstration to voice out our strong opposition for Lynas. Thanks God, we are aware of that.

Back to the origin, who needs technology?Human. Who needs rare earth?Human.Who want to be healthy?Human. We want to enjoy the life from the tip to the toes. We want convenience. We want the most advanced technology to make life easier. The price is paid by sacrificing our mother earth,by sacrificing the helpless to do the hazardous laboring n we enjoy the delicate life.

I hope Lynas will finally retrieve from our country and our protesting voices can be heard. And I also hope that the world can stop developing.It's enough. Today, this tragedy happens in Malaysia, what if it happens in a poor country?I cannot stop something outside my control, but I will do what I can do. We create more and we need to pay more. It's a worthless transaction. What we dump into the world, they will come back to us eventually (quotes from a Dr). Be aware of the state of the whole world. We are co-existing with the earth.

Colors

I didn't mean to talk about the colors itself but a color of complexion. This movie starts with a segregation between 2 colors in U.S>Black and white in around 1960's. "The Help",my tears roll down from the eyes once the ending music on. It's just grabbing my heart on it. At the end, one of the characters inside Aibileen said"God tells us we need to love our enemy, but it's hard to do. But it can start by telling the truth. Once I told the truth about that I felt free."

Life made the negro strong and with highest tolerance with the white since there was a strong racism in US from 1890's. They were being discriminated, being disdained and fate made them born as maid with no choice.They gripped on their everyday lives with all the hurts and insult to eke out the living. However, they did their work well, loving the child and the folks they took care without hatred. Still, there is always a hero in the story. A writer came and writing their perspective out and this makes the movie.

What I learned from it is respect. Reverence is something everyone needs. It doesn't matter with education, status, or power. Being respect to everyone who dedicate. Do appreciate for any devotion people give. Human, in front of disaster we are just the same.Generosity, be generous to whatever and whoever. Racism, stop it and we need to know that it can ruin a country, a generation and the world. Do focus on the problems but not the colors.Forgiveness, learn to be forgiving because at the same time we forgive ourselves. Being brave for what is right and to be honest to ourselves.

There is always a light at the end of tunnel. Before getting something great, darkness would come. Obstacles may hurdle me. The reason is only going through the hardship, then only we can feel the joys among the joys. I always wish everything will be smooth but now I wish I have the courage to go through every ups and downs in life. Thanks to the movie. It's touching.

By the way, I know what is Jim Crow Laws, who is Kennedy, American Civil Rights Movement via this movie.We need to learn from the history. Sometimes, I would think that I should study sociology instead of science..haha..great movie..I like it. No wonder why the actress Viola Davis is being nominated in many prestigious award by playing the role of "Aibileen" in "The Help". She is great!!!

Nice movie, I touched and I learned.

Thanks God

I really appreciate what the God wants me to go through.Yes,I learned it and I felt the joys of getting up from falling down.

Last year, I was failed the subject,Penyakit endocrinology from A- to FAIL by UKM disciplinary panel. While retaking this subject, I was under unseen pressure as I want to get better as a way to get myself a justice.
Yes,when the result is released, I see the A for my Penyakit Endocrinology, I jump high in the world!!!Shooting out of the planet.I was over the SUN. This A is different from all the other As. It brings me lessons, it grows me up. I truly believe what happens is always for the best and also for a reason. Thank you, God.

I am so relieved!!!!!!!!!!!!Keep giggling over my A. Hooray!!!!

My beloved family,I did it n dun worry!!!!!

Hope that in my coming life, I can be stronger and stronger to face all the ups and downs. Be grateful!!!



Hmmm,I am not a Christian, but I believe there is God in the world.........

一口气，两本书。

没有想到自己一下子把两本李永业著的书吃完。


第一本”医院，我的乌托邦“，在新年期间，无聊没事做，就翻开来看，本来就打算带回来快点看完，然后可以给妈妈看，让她多了解一下医院医生医疗的东西，总觉得好过整天看那些吵吵闹闹的福建戏，我每次俗称安娣们的偶像剧。
一看就停不下手，一直翻一直翻，一直读一直读。这是一本李医生记录自己在医疗上的看法，心情，心得。对不同病患的看法，所学的，所领悟的，都记录下来。的确，在医院总可以看见电视剧现场直播，有感动的，有气愤的，有不解的，有无奈的。总总的故事都能刺激脑细胞去思考。这本书说了李医生在医院的故事，心里的看法与领悟。还有一点医疗知识。还蛮好读的，是一本能够刺激我去思考的书。白色的巨塔承载了多少的故事呢？？



第二本”生命没有如果“，一本让我很感动的书。咀嚼着书里的文字，的确能够了解到作者内心的矛盾与挣扎。一位在英国拥有闪亮生活的医生回到了这个国土，马来西亚，所获得的所失去的都无法用任何东西衡量，因为内心的答案就是一切。每次知道有人出国求学，不然就是到昂贵的学院就读时，即使是再厉害，自己会很自然的不会给予任何佩服，心里都会觉得一切也不就是用个”钱“就能解决的事。读了这本书，教会了我，当看着别人身上的光环时，是否忽略了别人牺牲了多少？付出了多少？每一个收获并不是理所当然。学习把别人的优点放大，念宽心就宽.看着作者当初一个人如何到英国，如何渡过，如何努力拼出自己的事业，到他所失去的，所缅怀的，所遗憾的，一直到内心的挣扎，的确很令我深思。有得必有失，该如何做出选择，最先要了解自己，再来就是智慧的指引了。

谢谢作者分享他内心的一面，学习到了不少。

人生只要用心经营，一定会变得更美好，更圆满。（李永业，生命没有如果）

我要加油了！！
