令人感动的书

这本书《陪你到最后》每看完一个故事，内心就感动一次。
句句经典好看。
听过有人说，一本好看的文学作品是有两种元素，知性与感性。
获得知识的同时既触动心灵。
陪你到最后，作者叙述了几个末期患者的故事，陪伴的过程。
离去的人不一定最惨，留在世间要坚强活着的更令人佩服。
那些因为父母早逝的孩子，他们在不该在他们阶段应有却被逼拥有的成熟，既让人心痛又佩服。

每个人都是一本精彩的书，往往真像都是在故事背后，看完了故事，才能了解书名的由来，书皮的设计。
作者有一句形容和爱滋病的距离，让我不得不佩服他的文笔。
“握着小康的手时，我与爱滋病毒也只隔一层皮肤的厚度而已”。没有奢华的形容，简单易懂，既无比贴切。（在想，整天与细菌生活的我，和细菌也只隔着一层手套的厚度而已~~~哈哈哈！！！）

作者另一作品《已亮的天空》，一本作者分享自己成长故事的书，蛮激励的，他的两本书我要拿给做老师的姐姐看，也许，下次，她可以拿给她学生看。

最后，在面对生命结束的那一刻，自己会想做什么为总结呢？死亡，很远又好像不知道几时来到。要做到以欢喜不害怕的心境来面对死亡，没那么容易。

作者选择用微笑，我还真不知道。
活在当下吧！！！

5 people in the book

I gobble up this book by sitting on my bed whole night. I read it twice. First time I'm just simply flipping through. What it attracts me is only the title“The 5 People you meet in heaven". How the author Mitch Albom to write something about heaven? How's will he describe the 5 people? What's the message he wants to reflect?

The leading role is Eddie, an old lonely octogenarian who worked as a maintainer in an amusement park called Ruby Pier.This is a back-to-front story. It starts with Eddie's death. It is not a thrilling story,it's a literary fiction, self-enrichment book. Nice to read at least it is positive and giving me tranquility. I feel imperturbed while living in the book. No disturbs. No honking on the road. No mumbling from the crowd. One of my way to escape from this bustling and flickering city.

There are some lessons throughout the story.

From the 2nd person:Sacrifice is a part of life.Sometimes when u sacrifice something precious, u are nt really losing it. U are just passing it on to someone else.
(Hmm..I agree with that. Sometimes, we gain because there are people willing to sacrifice. No pain, no gain.)

From the 3rd person: Holding anger is a poison. (It's most poisonous to ourselves but nothing to the others.)

In the end: We each affect the other and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one. (I like this most. We are all interconnected even with strangers.)

One story brings another one.:)

关于这部电影

桃姐，一部非常平淡的电影，在我预料之内的剧情片，很写实。
去到戏院买票观看，纯粹只是想要支持这种有意义的电影，纵使它没有刺激视觉与情绪的效果。
戏剧浓缩了人生的故事，而真实是平淡中带点酸甜苦辣。
这部戏并没有想要赚人热泪，而是透过荧幕反映现实中的社会，从写实的剧情里，去反思社会的现象，老人的问题，现代的情景，更带出了人与人之间的真诚。
好好珍惜身边为我们付出的家人朋友。
没有人应该活得像做孤岛（冯以量，陪你到最后）。
老人也需要被爱。

刘德华说，每一位老人都曾经像我们这样年轻过；但是，年轻的我们不一定能像他们这样年老过。

叶德娴太厉害演戏了！！姜还是老的辣！！没错！！！：）

Half of the half

A full marathon is about 42.+km. Half of it is appx 21.+km. My first marathon in KL is half of the half>10km.According to wikipedia, Marathon is a place in Greek. A guy running from marathon to Athens until die juz wanting to inform the victory in a battlefield of Marathon.Legend.

During the whole running process, I felt the breath of myself and others and also I listened to the footsteps.

It strengthen our determination. The good sides of it no need to be mentioned much as everyone aware of that.

Summary of my fresh try in jogging together with thousands in this hustle and bustle KL:

Starting point:A life born.
Finish point:Heaven where everyone will go.
Different distance: Different lifespan.
Marathon:Everyone is running in the life with different purposes by different ways to achieve.

Purposes:
Train stamina.
Reaching finishing point in a fixed time.
Strengthen own self resolution and perseverance.
Just want to finish the run no matter how long the time takes.
For fun.
Trying new thing

Different ways to complete:
Some will focus on running disregard others. Running step by step.
Some will follow others' pace as a target.
Some will just walking ,observing the surrounding and people around.
Some will listen to the music as a way of encouragement.
Some accompany own children to run.
Some were non-stop running without a single rest.

There were a lot of volunteers who gave us water,foods, encouragement and guided us the running route which I think just like the people who guide us,lending a helping hand to us in life.

There are something we cannot just left in the car and went running ie.car keys, handphone and wallet.Mostly all the participants run with all these things though these may be a little burden but they are very important. Then, I think these are money,family and friends. We must run with them in life because they are indispensable.

I run with the purpose of fun and trying new thing. The strategy I take is non-stop running. I like to listen the running footsteps of people and their pants.

We are juz running a marathon of life..
Thanks for everything!!

A day to remember

10th March 2012
One design with different effects









Idea: We are earthian regardless of the religion, color, country to just pick up trash to make our home clean. We are under a vast blue sky.

Thesis Blue+A diary

Having a new finding. Is it possible my bacteria stealthily changes to other?Then make my vancomycin doesn't work?I may try next week again to make my media selective. What if the result remains the same?Vancomycin..what's possible things will happen to an unexpired antibiotic?Can it lose its antibacterial function?How come?Trying seems the only way out.

ok,during my waiting moment in my lab I eat a book entitled"The dairy of a young girl". It's really a dairy. Anne(The young girl)wrote every inside of her in her dairy. She was a Jew who forced to hide in "Secret Annex" to escape from the Nazi's caught.



Hmm,it is a telling about how a girl grew drastically within 2 years. Her thought, isolation, fears, happiness and what happened in her times were all recorded. How's the life in a confined space without stepping a single step outside?How's to tolerate with someone we dislike everyday with no choice?Here, Anne voiced out her pent-up emotion. She also mentioned her first love with a guy called Peter. How a girl's love blossoms?Anne wrote it down.Her conflict with her father,mother,sister,or everyone around made her mature. Self-reflection was one of the things she liked to do.Unfortunately, her father is the only one who survived in the Jewish slaughter by Nazi.

I was a little bored when reaching half of her diary as the life surrounded her was only the same. I am sure she would feel more tedious than I am. Thanks to the book, I seem to be more understanding about what happens in Europe around 1920's to 1945's and also what really Nazi is. We are having a same home which called The Earth.Learn from the history.

Quote learnt from the book: Nature brings solace in all troubles. (Very true, but it is what KL lacks of)

I hope I may find out the origin of my lab problem. Think!Think!THINK out of the box!!

Patience

I have not failed,I've just found 10000 ways that didn't work.(Thomas Edison)

Patience means staying with something until the end. The answers always didnt come immediately. Same thing happens because I hvnt learnt it.What's the problem to my vancomycin?I really want to know. Today is the 7th repetition and I can 95% sure that the origin of the problem is my vancomycin. However, I cannot figure out what causes this problem. Not expired, sterile apparatus,clean distilled water. It should be sterile after filtering the vancomycin. Just where it get contaminated??

What I can think is just using different source of vancomycin. I tried the new one today. Hoping an improved result for tomorrow.

I think the thing I hvnt learnt is being PATIENT.

Oh ya,today I learn a very good quote from youtube:Never let a problem to be solved becomes more important than a person to be loved.Pay attention to what matters most.

I really need some motivation.Come on,I just found 7 ways that didnt work. How patient Thomas Edison was,he found 10000 ways that didnt work.Far far more behind him.
Don't give up!!!The God wants me to learn something>>>>Patience!!!

Earth hour

I thought Earth hour 2012 will be held on 12th March before. So, sudden inspiration comes to me and I drew one pic to help to publicize this green event.I realized I remembered a wrong date for the event after posting my pic. Without any delay, quick deletion, fast correction n post it again.

Thanks God,I didn't spread a wrong date for that event.
Some people think that it is a worthless activity as it would be better if there will be an earth hour everyday rather than once a year. Yeap, it would be excellent if we manage to do it. However, people around the world gather with good intention to do such a great thing to the earth at least a day in a year is not bad, I think. It's better than never.

I think it would be greatest if we juz have a confab with friends or together with family in darkness rather than "celebrating" it with candles or with whatever events. Reduce the energy consumption, that's the kernel of the event.

My so-so green drawing~~

Just a day

After repeating 6 times of my experiment, I was a little fed up with a little thesis blue.It's ok. Research is repeatedly searching. Try again next week.
I draw today. A very simple drawing. No need techniques. Just colouring.


如果离开是一种追求
在这样的旅途里面
愿被所有祝福围绕
有很多的指引引领
拥有世界最美丽的颜色
没有令人矛盾的人类
只有善良的动物
一路走向
离开的自由
感受内心
最轻盈的自在

I just want to do what I like in my days!!
Nice to draw.
I find my child in my heart.

The Story of CHANGE

This book is actually had been recommended by my former MUET teacher while I was studying form six.Yes, I read it that time but I didn't get the meaning and I even fell asleep with the book which lend by my friend.Working part time last weekend, I used my one-hour break time going into MPH to search some mental foods. Passing by the book shelves, my eyes glimpsed through a book with the title " Who moved my cheese?" and this brought me back my form six time. I wonder the reason of my teacher's strong recommendation of that book as I remembered I read it with my snore. I took it and opened the first page. Wow, I just cannot stop reading it. It's only a very thin self-enrichment book with very simple English and it's easy to understand.

It is a story about how people react with the change by symbolizing each character inside with a certain personality. "Cheese" is something we want in life. It can be money, career, happiness, relationship we desired or whatever we want in life. The story portrays its telling via 2 mice called "Sniff" and "Scurry" and 2 little people called "Hem" and "Haw" who look for their cheese in a maze (which I think represents life). A very good story to read.

Yes things are keep changing and we need to move on with it.I think I may buy this book and read it often as I can't juz read into mind at once.

There are some quotes which I think can chase away some pessimism or overcomplicated minds:

What would you do if you weren't afraid?(Should keep asking this question while facing the challenge)

When you move beyond your fear, you feel free. (Having fear sometimes is good but sometimes it just restrict us to step out of the comfort zone. Just do the right thing!!)

The fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly, then you can let go and quickly move. (I like this one much. Self reflection can always make us better.)

In the end, It all depends on what you choose to believe.(I like this one most,believing something good,believing we can proceed further).

My quote>We are what we think, we do what we believe. Therefore, no fear for changing and always believe our angel in the heart~~~~

Nice reading!!

Who moved my cheese? Nobody moves it.
