温馨的书





《佐贺的超级阿嬷》是个温馨的读物。在物资贫乏的年代与生活环境里,作者讲述了他与阿嬷的故事。
因为没钱,用乐观来驱走饥饿,用智慧来面对生活,用真心来编制故事。
乡下的生活,阿嬷的乐观态度是这本书最吸引人的地方。
读完过后,感觉真的很温馨,谢谢作者分享他的童年故事,告诉了我幸福简单的道理。

里面有几句阿嬷教作者昭广的生活小语,简单得意义深远~~

真正的体贴是让人察觉不到的。
(曾经对于自己阿嬷每每一煮完饭的“阿蕾吃饭咯”例为平常事,直到成长让我明白那是一种表达,有多少体贴是自己没有察觉过的呢?)

即使世上有两三个人讨厌你,转过身来还有几亿人。
(有时要把自己从框框拉出来,心自然就会变宽)

最想吃的东西就是高级品。
(所以说山珍海味怎样也抵挡不了家里的粗茶淡饭)

穷人最能做的就是展现笑容。
(乐观的想法就能改善生活的质量)

不要难过,不然走不了。
(作者的小舅舅,小新智商比较弱,大约30岁就去世了,那时阿嬷就是这样告诉作者。活着的人更要坚强。)

我有个快乐温馨的假期,感恩上天:)

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.:)

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!!

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.

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!!

Tuesdays with Morrie




A great literary fiction by Mitch Albom. A thesis done by an old man with a young man. This fiction is not a thrilling,heart-pumping story but a fiction make me to think again the essence of life and others which sometimes hovering in my mind. My friend shared with me about his impression for this book,the most impressive quote he will never forget "once you know how to die then you know how to live". Inspiring book which accompany me during my free time at night. The story talked about a going dying professor, Morrie with incurable disease ALS (a disease same with Stephen Hawking which makes the whole body atrophy from day to day) shared his life wisdom, experience and thinking with his student, Mitch Albom every Tuesday in the Professor's house. Mitch who asked about the questions mostly people will quench for their life: Death,Family, Emotion, Money, Marriage, Aging, Carrer and so forth. The last word he said to his student"Be compassionate. Take responsibilities for each other".Yes,then only the world and life can go on.

The most impressive saying for me: Death ends a life but not a relationship. Love will not left with the life.What I want to devote to the world? Graduation is around the corner though there are 6 months to go. If I'd had a Prof like Morrie, what would had he said to me??

Is okay..let's go on life with hopes.

Some quotes from the book:
Aging is not just decay. It's growth.If you have found meaning in our life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward. You want to see more, do more.(Seem I had an unsatisfied and unfulfilled life, that's y I don't really want to grow up~~~)

How we think what we value those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone or any society determine those for you. (People nowadays are so easy to be influenced especially by mass media, common trends in society and advertisement)

A teacher affects eternity;he cannot tell where his influence stops. (Thumbs up for the quote no matter how worse or best the teachers are they can really affect students!!!)

Next reading!!!!!!!!!^^

Fiction of Jeffrey Archer: Kane and Abel




Finally, I had gone through every pages and every thrilling, touching, nerve-shattering stories of the two protagonists, Kane and Abel.Jeffrey archer is a fantastic story-teller. He described every gesture, disposition, facial expression of each character. He portrayed out the background and the setting of the story with his amazing writing skills. It is worthwhile to burn my midnight oil to savour every line of the story.
One word to describe the story,excellent.
At the end of the story, what moves me is the message which the author may(I think) want to convey, forgiveness. There is no long lasting feud or vendetta. The rivalry between Kane or Abel make the story thrilled and make both of them learnt the essence of life, at the end. There are a lot of messages conveyed like hardship, perseverance, resolution, determination, kindness and many more...Have a good reading and thanks to my friend who lend me her great story book.
I like reading!!!!!
