YCA29 & ITCW 09
Just came back from both YCA camp and ITCWorkshop 2 days ago.
It's seriously tiring to an extent that I could just sit there and fall asleep anytime.
YCA29 - 3 days 2 nights (17th to 19th)- 2+ hours sleep
Home - 1 night (19th) - 2+ hours sleep
ITCW - 3 days 2 nights (20th to 22nd) - getting back my normal sleep
Imagine 3 nights only 4+ hours sleep, then the next day have to tahan for another day..
"I'm blank" (The first time i said this during my speech)
Anyway, I love the schedule. Though tiring, it's fruitful. Haha.
YCA29 - SM Kwang Hwa (Private), Klang, Selangor
This time I was in 活动部...
A dept with my ginna kia (small kids)
Erm...Though i couldn't accompany them until the end of the camp (20th)
I could feel the connection with them..Especially when they presented me the "farewell" cheers.
Hope to see them again in YCA30..
ITCW 09 - Sedim Eco Park, Karangan, Kedah
Intervarsity Tobacco Control Workshop 2009
Attended by tobacco control teams from 5 universities i.e.
USM Green Lung
UIA Green Lung
UM Tobacco Control Youth &
Tobacco Control Teams from UKM and UiTM...
This workshop had witnessed the establishment of Youth Chapter for Tobacco Control..
meaning to say the sparks of tobacco control movement will be initiated and outreaching more people in different places in a more coordinated way..
Hopefully the ad hoc committee would register the YC asap so that these 5 universities could really work together and create a tsunami in youth tobacco control efforts..
One exciting outcome about ITCW 09 is that UiTM has taken up the challenge to be the host of Youth Conference for Tobacco Control - the first jointly organized event by 5 universities..
This Youth Conference is aimed to share our missions and visions with more youths from all sorta backgrounds and thus to empower the youth in the tobacco control effort in hope of moving towards a smoke-free country..
This is definitely something that we should be excited about...
USM Green Lung is definitely giving our fullest support to make this happen.. Woohoo..
Adding color to the workshop was the capacity building activities
- Jungle trekking...(a real jungle without trek, for me it's more like military training)
- Abseiling...(descending from a vertical surface by using a rope coiled around the body)
Merry Christmas, everyone!!!

| The fun part was we did this with friends |
Merry Christmas, everyone!!!

The power of cigarette
Recently playing with photoshop's effect. Sharing with you one of my pilot artworks.
The power of cigarette. Big tobacco companies are so smart in smartening up the image of tobacco. The tobacco advertisements always try to deliver the messages of "cool, smart and macho" to the (witless) people. They believe that cigarette could render them power. (Witless) People claims that smoking helps reduce stress (of course, nicotine is stimulant, but they never know nicotine was once used as insecticide. Never mind, not my business). People claims that smoking is a way of socializing (Do we need to risk our lives to know more friends who smoke?). People even claims that they smoke because their friends asked them to smoke (hello, before you answer this, please install your brain back into your skull. Your brain will become flat if you always sit on it). At the end of the days, what are the prices? Your freedom, your career, your money, your family and eventually your life.

学无止境，自强不息
我离开母校已有接近三年。
最近在网上看见学弟学妹们的毕业影片，
听见毕业典礼上播放着校歌，钩起许多回忆。
日新国中 SMJK Jit Sin－槟城人眼中所谓的名校。
老实说，当时六年级刚毕业领了UPSR成绩单的我听都没听过。
只是我收到信，去日新国中报到。
OK咯，就去咯！反正没亏。
＊＊＊
中一入学的第一天，我依然历历在目。
＊＊＊
入学篇
第一天踏入日新校园，只觉得 “ 哇，好大！” （比起我的小学大好多）
不是开玩笑，真的会迷路咧！（当然七年呆在那，校园就渐渐变小了）
到了那里，人生地不熟，我都不懂该往哪去，
只是赶紧把颈伸长些，往我的朋友里堆去。
差不多接近一点二十，学长们就把我们这群菜鸟赶入礼堂集合。
“哇，礼堂也几大一下！”
进礼堂后，就跟着班级列队。
我的班级 － 1J班。
下午班主任给我们训话。
哇塞，他超厉害讲话。讲了好久、好久、好久⋯（口水不会干咧）
初生之犊，怕死！我们也就这样乖乖地站着听他训话。（真的有够累）
过了不懂多久，yeah⋯终于讲完了。
这时有位老师报告，谁有兴趣申请当学长的把手举起来。（神经病，酱多人，谁敢举啊）
当然还时有当勇者的。（我承认我胆小）
过后，我只是偷偷地跟学长拿了一张申请表格。
＊＊＊
看着申请表格，我填了。也交上了。
＊＊＊

Reversion
2009 is going to end soon..
My entry production rate is always low..
so grabbing any chance to spam my blog..
hopefully I could give 30 entries before 2010..
too lame keeping my entries less than 30 per year..
Just back from gathering..
Again, Tambun seafood is our choice..
Khai Sheng, Kean Ping, Han Boon, Yi Fan, Huai lin, Chui Theng, Zee Kee, Li Yong and me..
The list doesn't change much every time..standard deviation plus minus 2 or 3..
Most of our members are now here and there all around the world..
I wonder if a complete list could meet up one day..
Today, one lesson's learned.逆向思考
Direct translation - Think in a reversed manner.
Everything happens because of something..
If you want something to happen, start from the everything.
No more road-is-not-taken mindset..
I know the lesson, but I never learn the lesson..
Now only I understand the principle behind it..

See
These days having been "seeing" a lot.
Too many things revolve in my mind.
Again, multitasking is challenging me.
Involving more decision makings this time.
Every move I take now has to be comprehensive.
Or else everything's doomed.
Some people might find it difficult in working with me.
yeah, I know I'm fussy.
I couldn't stand a single spot of dirt within my vision.
I want things to go according to what I "see",
of course if you provide me a better route, I do accept.
Maybe my inborn sense is so.
I like to see beautiful things.
Some people might think that I go too fast.
yeah, I know I'm a bit impatient.
Having not seized the ground firmly, thinking of flying already.
But when I "see" those ideas, I know it can be done.
If I know it can be done, but I don't do it.
What's the point? I shall pass my hat to others.
Bear with me. We'll share the glory one day.
Some people might think that I'm too vague.
They don't know what I want.
but is it so hard to know what I'm thinking?
Hmm, maybe. Because they are not my worms.
I'll try to get you in to "see" my world.
To "see" in order to see.
You need to "see" it before you see it.
Do you see me?

Things never end
Exam's over.
a movie - 2010 to relax myself.
Effect wise, it did give me a huge impact.
It's touching in certain scenes, but it needs a little bit more horsepower to shed my tears.
Lessons wise, yes. Yeah, love our Earth before it's too late.
I don't think there are Noah's arks hiding behind the San Xia Dam.
Even if there were, you must have a green card and a very good "gene"
Right after that, 1st green lung internal tobacco control workshop!
feel so glad that actually we've moved so far.
Sense of satisfaction.
Giving welcome speech, I was.
Talk by Prof. Rahmat, C-Tob Director.
Mini Project Discussion.
My group was discussing their strategies how to kick others' butt.
Hands-on using CO meter.
Dun How's group was drawing some....cartoon?!
During the workshop, we have a session which required the participants to apply what they'd learnt from the talk and to approach the smokers.
Education or rather a gentle reminder to inform them that their expiry dates are near. Stop before it's too late, again.
Educating the public.
Measuring the air quality at the food court using SidePak stealthily.
"Uncle, uncle, please don't smoke."
Passionate activists.
Building rapport with prospects
I was the facilitator of a team.
Some surprising responses from the smokers.
"I know smoking harms. But now I'm okay. I'll stop only when my body is not okay." - Great thinker. A politician.
(We asked, "you know secondhand smoke is harmful to your children?")
"Secondhand smoke is harmful, I know. That's why I choose to harm others rather than my own children." - WTF
(We adviced, "secondhand smoke is harmful to your wife.")
"Nevermind, I'm the one who asks him to smoke," his wife answered us. - What an understanding wife he has. Envy.
("Sir, smoking is harmful. Why not quit?")
"Where got smoke? Where got smoke?" while he's trying to hide his cigarettes behind his body. - Yeah, we are mentally retarded. Oh no, you fooled us! =.=
("Uncle, can you donate a cigarette to us to show your determination to quit smoking?")
"You ask my tauke first." - Walao, uncle. Be mature a bit. Do you need permission to go pee?
"I'm neither supporting smoking, nor stopping people from smoking in my shop." - Another politician we have here.
"Our place is smoke-free" (A person was smoking at the other corner of the shop)- Ello, please lie with wisdom. If you don't have, at least you can see with your eyes.
All walks of life. Interesting.
Presentation of their findings.
Presenting. Sue Anne, please concentrate. No victory gesture.
Credits to all the committee members. You guys did a great job especially in the time management. I'd say it's the most punctual event ever in university. Well done.
Looking forward to Intervarsity Tobacco Control Workshop in Dec.
Meaning to say, my holiday's gone.

你说像样吗？
明天正式进入考试。
这个学期，三个字 － 不简单。
八个科目，八张试卷，
琳琅满目，不堪入眼。
我妈：“不是study week咩？做么酱早会宿舍？还有上课啊？”
（不知道的朋友们，我是称职的PBSM － Pasti Balik Setiap Minggu 家族成员）
因为过去的study week, 我至少都会呆在家好许天。
奇怪了，我几时变酱勤劳咧？
老来安慰，有个酱生性的儿子。
的确回宿舍，少了电脑电视乱跑的诱惑，我是可以定下心来读书的。
不过...这次反而是我两年以来过得最不像样的study week。
此话何解？
过去的一星期，我都有固定的上班时间。
从早上十点起至下午两三点，我都在工作。
做什么呢？
就坐坐椅子（真的是坐椅子哦），聊聊天，跑来跑去，
煞是有趣！
我的朋友们还傻到陪我酱跑来跑去，真的是一路不孤单。
不过最辛苦应该是康贤吧，好像司机酱载上载下。
茹莹有她事无她事都叫她出来陪跑。
还有一些在背后默默耕耘的同事们，您们也辛苦啦！
真的是有点不好意思。
考试后，看来得请你们吃大餐了。
不过你在你家吃，我在我家吃。
认真的、衷心的一句话，“谢谢你们！”
放工回到宿舍，
哇，几累一下。
休息片刻。
才继续奋斗。
屈指算一算，
还真得不多时间能乖乖坐在桌前读书。
你说像样吗？
明天考试了，
我还在这里blog。

Terrible yet exciting weeks
Last 2 weeks..one word to describe - terrible but siok..
Many things had happened in such a short time..
Marketing Assignment:
Research title:
"A qualitative study exploring the impacts of pharmaceutical price war among community pharmacies in the state of Penang, Malaysia"
One of the satisfying research studies I've done.
The photos are not with me..upload later (later means not tomorrow >.<) USM Freeze!: One i must never miss to share with you guys USM Freeze! had successfully been put in action right in my own campus, USM..yoohoo..
Counting from 3, 2, 1...
The frozen moment really astounded me..
USM Freeze! indeed has made the Green Lung reaching more people in USM..
At least we met our objective our this activity.
though there wersome minor mistakes i think could be improved much.
Here are some newspaper cuttings about Green Lung.
One thing exciting too..
my face was on The Star..wahaha..though they spelled my name wrongly "Ho Rhu Wann"...haih why everytime like this..
There were a few more press covering the news eg. Sin Chew Jit Poh, Kwang Ming Daily Paper, Bernama, Utusan and TV3
Press release was horrible yet interesting experience for me..
Many things had happened in such a short time..
Assignments, Reports, Quizzes, Presentations, Writing proposal, Organizing and Attending Activities, Meetings and many more..Macam Snow-ball..keeping on rolling..walao..
When I looked at my To-do-list, I felt nausea..
When I looked at my schedule, I felt dizzy..
When I kept on looking and looking, I felt nearly impotent..
Sometimes I would just lose my focus easily..
dunno where to head..
Time's not on my side anymore..
have to fight really hard against the time or else I will screw up everything at the end..
Luckily I'm "strong" enough to survive in this psychological as well as physical torture..
haha.. now everything's back to normal..wahaha
exam's coming soon anyway...but it's much more better and kind than those I've mentioned earlier..
At least it won't compel me to the dead corner..
Here are some highlights of the month:
Cosmetic assignment
My Team - Carmin
(Eda, Calrin, Farah, Farahin, Yanna and Me)
We're assigned to formulate rouge and blush.
My piece of work..keke
Carmin rouge - to make your cheek "red red and bling bling"
nevertheless last few weeks were not totally bad..
I felt so full...mentally and psychologically...Here are some highlights of the month:

This was the most exciting event I'd ever organized so far after B.O.S night in July.
Imagine more than 1oo students gather at one place and got frozen in unison for 4 minutes..
The scene is wow, breathtaking!
Briefing before USM Freeze! (Wan Bin's face looked so 痛苦)

| Briefing before USM Freeze! (Wan Bin looked like she's in pain) |
 |
| Participants on the move. I'd never expected to see such a huge group. |
 |
| Chia How looked so happy, macam kena lottery |
 |
| Everyone's doing their routine, waiting for the moment |
 |
| Media ready with their cameras |
 |
| Everyone's busy looking for the best spot to freeze. Erm...perhaps in front of cameras |
the pasar-like foyer DK suddenly turned into a total silent dead city
Everyone was like turning into dummy..not moving anymore
 |
| Green Lung Freeze! |
No single sound was made except those who dunno what's happening that time..
the best thing was to see those innocent by-passers' faces and expression..
they looked so ignorant...haha..
when they saw such a huge group of frozen people, they didn't even dare to step forward to pass through the crowd.. amazing.. |
| Bird's view at Foyer DK |
The number of participants was out of my expectation...
I was actually just expecting around 50 or 60..
I was actually just expecting around 50 or 60..
Really millions and thousands of thanks to them..
Of course, trillions and billions thanks to all my committee members who had worked really hard to make USM Freeze! a history in USM...
With such a great people around, the world is always beautiful, I believe...

| Su Ee's posing |
 |
| Dun How so "ke leng" |
At least we met our objective our this activity.
though there wersome minor mistakes i think could be improved much.

my face was on The Star..wahaha..though they spelled my name wrongly "Ho Rhu Wann"...haih why everytime like this..

| Me on the Star |
Press release was horrible yet interesting experience for me..
First time talking in front of press...I was blank..
I couldn't even talk in a sensible way..though those points I've been repeating and repeating..
when the camera was on... my brain says bye bye to me
luckily got Prof Rahmat backed me up..or else I'd be so dead..
haha..anyway..another new episode in my itinerary..
Green Lung, another turning point of my life..
I meet great people, I work with great people, I talk to great people..
I know I'm nothing afterall...more and more to learn to get myself improved..
If one day, people asked me "how's your uni life"
I would answer him without any hesitation, "My uni life is GREAT~!!!"
Looking forwards to more exciting activities in the coming days:
Green Lung internal training program, Intervarsity Youth Tobacco Control Workshop, Green Lung Carnival 2010 (GLC 2010)
Stay tuned

Green Lung
"Is secondhand smoke harmful to us?
Is a secondhand smoker at the risk of getting lung cancer as high as a smoker?"
Many people are asking these questions.
Then normally you will get this response.
"Aiyah, they smoke only ma, not me smoke.
whether they live or die, none of my business"
But what I can tell you is that
The answer for both questions is YES.
You are at risk of dying from lung cancer too even though you're not a smoker and you're exposed to secondhand smoke.
Hmm..so is time for us to think of that, isn't it?
All the tertiary institutions in Malaysia, by right and by law,must have been a non-smoking zone.
However over the years, no one seems to be aware of this issue.
So it's not surprise at all to see people (students, staffs and even some of the lecturers) puffing on their cigarettes in USM campus.
What surprises you is that, whether you realize it or not,
there are enforcement officers in USM who are authorized to take action on those who have violated this law.
Hmm..You may ask, where are they?
"They must have done a very great job sweeping all the smokers out of the campus.."
Above statement is just a joke anyway.
I still can see so many cigarette butts on the floor especially at some hotspots such as desasiswa (our hostels, in case you're not from USM).
To your dismay, some of the enforcement officers are lawbreakers themselves.
What else could you expect from them?
Asking a thief to safeguard your property?
I have no stand to comment on that.
So it's time for us to do something.
Don't wait for the authority before all the smokers overwhelm us..
The norm now is "minority rules"
so we should denormalize this phenomenon
We should be the ones who set the rules of the game and they (smokers) should follow our rules, not otherwise.
We should be the ones who set the rules of the game and they (smokers) should follow our rules, not otherwise.
We have the RIGHT to have a healthy smoke-free studying environment.
We deserve fresh air.
We deserve a healthy life.
Therefore, we, as a non-smokers should voice out our needs aloud.
At this particular point of time, USM Green Lung is definitely the best channel and platform for you either to relay the message to USM authority or to join our battle.
For your info, Green lung is a newly established voluntary organization, which works hard towards creating a smoke-free environment in USM.
We are seeking a huge crowd of volunteers who are thirst for breathing in unpolluted air in USM. You are definitely the one we are looking for.
So don't hide behind the desk anymore,
it's time for us to stand up and together we voice out our big "NO" to smoking.
If you are having the passion in pursuit of a utopia

Venue: Eureka carpark

一个让你站起来得理由
看到以上的post title，
好像我要卖什么药似的 － 让你站起来。
你想太多了。
＊＊＊
好像我要卖什么药似的 － 让你站起来。
你想太多了。
＊＊＊
小时候，当你跌倒，你哭了。
不过一会儿，你爬起来了。
长大后，当你再次跌倒，你哭了。
不过你却已忘了如何爬起来。
我们长大后，
我们开始懂得 “怨”
怨天怨地。
我们开始依靠，
渴望别人帮你爬起来。
而放弃的念头也由此而萌芽。
花点时间，看看下面的vid。
你会发觉你之前的挫折根本不算什么，
因为以下的男主角，上天跟他开了个玩笑。
我真的被感动到了。
Nick Vujicic,
No arms, no legs, no worries

往往人喜欢把挫折、痛苦放大，再放大。
却忽略了平时的快乐。
如果没有了快乐，
你还分得出，
哪个是痛苦，哪个是快乐吗？

上山下山
人生有起有落，
就像坐过山车。
刚开始，缓缓上升，紧张气氛。
几担心两三下。
去医院。
医生说，我没事，不许要隔离。
哇唠，开心到我要呕。
简直就是到达最高峰。
一个字“爽”。
今天，收到简讯。
“某某中招 － H1N1”
哇靠！
嘴巴不急，心里急得像狗找不到尾巴酱。
跟某某有近距离接触。
几怕“来也”
顿时来一个一百八十急转弯。
这次真得呕了！
重点是我要自我隔离。
三天咧～！！
无法到处跑，
好像大象没有鼻子一样。
怎样活？
人生如戏；
戏如人生。
就上演一场“软禁宅男”吧啦！
“让我们趁着放假，开始被关，心里多不爽”

The art of memory 1
Do you envy those with huge memory capacity?
Some people's brains are like a sponge,
they can simply absorb so much information and data..
You may say, "haiyoh, I also can lah if I want to."
I always know that you can do that too..
provided that you have to commit your 24-hour-per-day solely to your studies...
(Just a metaphor)
However, the biggest difference between those "people" and you is that
they can do that within a very short time
and you may have to spend a good hour concentrating on the subject..
So I suppose a "yes" from you now to my previous question
especially we have been the victims for more than 10 years
under our present national education system which emphasizes much on examination.
Nowadays, the education system stresses much on how well you memorize
rather than how well you understand..
Of course I'm not saying that this system is of no good at all...
Exam somehow still plays an important role in assessing a person's learning progress...
In spite of the fact that scores and marks are the rules to measure one's level,
the phenomenon now is that the students are too obsessed with the score,
until they lose their direction in seeking knowledge...
I would say strong understanding + effective mnemonics techniques is an essential skill or tool a student must have
I dare not to guarantee that a student will score 100% once he or she masters the skill...
but at least, he or she needs not to spend his or her everything on studies..
so that he or she may have more spare time to pursue his or her hobbies and interests...
This is very important in developing one's personality, at least I think so..
So now come to the main point..
How?
I think some of you may know the techniques..
but most of the feedbacks I've got from those who knew is that
they know the techniques, but do not know how to apply that in their studies..
学以自用...that's most important..

Tattoo
Watching 'LA Ink'...
Wondering who came up with this stupid thing...
After pondering over this for some time, ah-ha...i knew liao...
The story began 800 years ago...
In order for me to tell my tales more lively, I will do it in chinese this time...
话说八百年前，
在一户农民家里，一个小男孩出生了。
这男孩家里自小贫困。
虽人穷，但志不穷。
从小家教严厉，性格倔强，为人刚直。
他十五六岁时，国家腐败，当权无能。
他娘把他叫来跟前，说：“国难当前，有何打算？”
那位少男深情地着仰望天空，
再缓缓地把目光直视他娘。
“啊～！！！战场杀敌，精忠报国！”
“好！好一个精忠报国！”
他娘听了，真的是娘颜大喜。
“儿啊，过来。娘为你刺字，希望你永记此誓”
‘精忠报国’从此就烙印在岳飞背上。
That's how the first tattoo came...
Period.

Am I 虚?
Back from Tobacco control training camp in Lenggong park 6 days ago,
terus sick until now
Headache, fever, flu, running nose..
At this very moment, my body played this kinda prank on me...
Luckily I'm not the first A(H1N1) subject in Malaysia...
Or else really "bringing my ancestor an honor" - 光宗耀祖
Aih...people always make fun of me saying that I'm 虚
Am I?
Having running nose or being caught cold is common to me,
my schoolmates and coursemates always know that...
My case is more or less the same as girls having menstruation..
just that my frequency is sometimes higher than theirs...
Sometimes once a month or twice a month..
If worse, once a week...
If sui sui, 3 days a week..
***
"aiyoh...sick again ar?"
"no lah, I'm always like this de...not much problem...I'm already used to it.." I said.
"Yorr....you ar....really 虚 loh"
=.=
***
Looking back to some of my more-serious medical history cases...hmm...
In 2004, after back from Penang Bridge Run,
I thought I was so geng, body so "iong" (in Hokkien - strong)
I was still able to go to school next day..
but the following day, I fell sick...
Never mind... It's normal what... Many people were absent too after the run..
then after 2 or 3 days,
Yeah, I was back to school again...
But again...
yeah...the next day I was sick again... =.=
Worse this time, almost being absent for a week..
this year, 2009...
Back from tobacco control training camp...
This is the most enjoyable camp I've ever had..
not much strenuous work except rafting...(I'll talk about this in my next post)
6 meals a day, everyday in air-con room having discussion...
when coming back from camp,
I thought nothing would happen this time..
oiseh, first day everything's normal..
mana tau...second day, aih... 城门失守
until now only recover..
Am I 虚?
Maybe loh...haha...

Regret in my life
Back home today...
Playing with my childhood toy...
I've been playing it for more than 18 years...
I thought it's like riding a bicycle,
once you knew, forever you know...
but today it seemed to be new to me...
Playing Bach's Prelude VI,
Used to be my piece..
I remembered the melody, but every note I played sounded so strange to me...
They were not under my complete control anymore...
Suddenly a surge of grief from my deep heart...
When my hands went slack, a pencil would struck right on my knuckles
"Play like a spider", that's what my teacher would yell at me...
Sometimes she even knocked my head, "did you practice at home?"
I grinned and answered, "no"
Then I guess you know what will happen next right?
Yeah, another thump on my head...haha...
But I knew that she did all these for my own good...
And she always did...
She always said to me, "I'm seeing you growing up since you were four, you are just like my son"
you know, when she said so, I really felt being pampered and I did enjoy that moment...
Even though I started playing piano since four,
I didn't play well...
because I was forced to learn that time...
that's why I didn't even bother to practice at home...
and you must be thinking that I might have failed my practical exam, right?
I thought so too every time after the exam...
When the result's out, she was always trying to scare me
"Do you think you can pass this time..."
"Erm...Dunno"
"Nah, I also dunno why...why you can be so lucky passing your exam every time..."
Haha..
but I don't know why too, simply good luck I think...
Until Grade 6...
Not everyday is Sunday...
I failed my Grade 6 Theory...
and I knew that I'd disappointed her...
and yeah, I had to resit the exam again in the following year...
One day, my teacher called to my mum's handphone, saying wanna talk to me..
"You have to treat me KFC oredi"
"Why?" I said (not that I'm kedekut, just that let me know at least the reason)
"I also can't believe this, my husband said that got one student got distinction in the exam..."
(yeah, I know...the person always wasn't me)
"and to my surprise, it's you, you know? I was so happy..."
I still could remember her happy voice on the phone...she was so much excited
as if her son had won a prize...
Yeah...I was excited too of course...
and you know what, I was even awarded Hedy King Robinson Prize as well...
she would have been proud of me...hehe
Then onwards, I started appreciating music, learning what music is..
And music indeed has been one of my major parts in my life...
Since 1991, I had been spending my time there at her house once every week...
untill 2005 when I went to KL to study...
Then in the same year itself, May or June, I came back for Form 6...
Then I went visit her and she asked if I still wanted to continue playing piano...
She suggested that maybe I could go for diploma...so I took up the challenge of course...
So going to her house once every week had become my routine again...
But then, one thing had changed.
Why she was wearing a bucket hat?
I didn't really go bother at that time...
As time's passing by, her hair was getting looser and lesser...
I dared not to ask...
Until after a couple of weeks, she told me that she would not teach piano anymore..
"Why?"I asked
"Because teacher's having cancer, I need to take more rest" she said peacefully
At that time, I really didn't know how I was supposed to respond...
I just, "umm..."
Not even a word of care..
After undergoing a series of chemotherapies, I was told that she had become better...
but I didn't how better she would be...
Her hair grew again, she was not as skinny as before...
and I thought everything would go just fine...
Life's always unexpected.
In early of 2006, her mother passed away...
After some weeks, I received a call again...
no more good news this time...
her sister called my mum. I didn't answer the call but my mum..
After the conversation ended, my mum told me in sorrow
"Teacher'd passed away. Later we go and pay our last respect."
You know, it's hard to believe...
A person who had been teaching you, scolding you, whacking you, pampering you since you were small was no longer here anymore, forever...
I was really really really really sad
but I didn't shed a tear...
In her funeral, I looked at her photo...
looking at a familiar face, but knowing that I would not see her again soon...
I really wanted to cry out, crying aloud...
but still I didn't do so in front of people...
Everytime the tear was about to drop, I just took a deep breath and swallowed it back to my stomach...
It is simply so hard not to cry when you are really in deep bereavement...
I was and am still so regretful...
Why I didn't show to her that I do really care for her...
perhaps just simply two words - "Take care"
and now I never ever have a chance to talk to her anymore...
Take care, teacher
If you can see this, I really wanna tell you that
I do really miss you...

At-this-point
I think this is my first time exposing my uni life to you all here...
hmm....besides "the 4 precious lessons" that I posted long time ago...
For those who still don't know what uni I'm in, what course I'm in...
so I will lead in by sharing with you all what my current status is..
I'm in USM aka Universiti Sains Malaysia...
some classy people might like to call USM University of Science of Malaysia...
in English, more yeng loh...
So currently I'm in the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences...
Wonder what that is? Anything to do with farming...
To be clearer, simplified version
School of Pharmacy...Pharmacy, not farmer...
Some (the elderly) might give me this response,
"Pharmacy ar? Hami lai (What is that)? Si mm si doctor (Is it doctor)? Ohhh....hoo iuk (dispense medication) a hio....zai liao lah (know already lah)..."
"Liao mm si doctor ar (Then it's not doctor ar) ?" =.=
But I don't blame them...because this is the Malaysian pharmacy practice...
Doctors diagnose, doctors prescribe, doctors dispense
For those who know what exactly a pharmacist does, you might be wondering
In the actual fact that dispensing is supposedly pharmacist's job...
Why the doctors are doing this?
If they have taken over pharmacists' job, then what pharmacists do?
Selling supplements loh...haha...Just kidding...
If being heard by my Dean, surely he will spanar me...
Actually for you info, there is something called dispensing right..
meaning to say the right to dispense medication...
for most of the countries like Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and many more,
there is a very distinct border between doctors' roles and pharmacists' roles...
However in Malaysia, we don't have dispensing seperation...
So pharmacists in Malaysia are no longer the sole drug dispensers having dispensing right...
so no seperation loh, all has been taken over by doctors
Instead doctors claim that the pharmacies and clinics are too far away, so it is more convenient for the patients to collect their medication after seeing doctors...one-stop services kononnya
Hello, you try and seperate and see...by that time, you will be surrounded by pharmacies...
So now you see how pathetic it is to be a pharmacist...
So next time, whenever you see a pharmacist, don't think that they are so hoseh...
actually their hosehness is merely a tin kosong..
Ok, ok...back to me...ermm..
recently I'm quite busy with my homework after busying with all those activities...
it's a good news to me to be with my studies again actually...or else I will only catch up with all the syllabi during study week...that will be hazardous then...
I'm supposed to be at home right now...
Anyway, I'm going home every weekend..
Why I stay back ler this week?
because I have my first pool session today afternoon...
hurray...I've been anticipating this after those boring yet important theory classes...
Oh yeah, what is pool session pula?
This semester I join Scuba diving, so I will be like learning those very basic things about scuba diving...however, I'm still not a diver yet even if I've accomplished the course...
because what I'm taking is just an introductory course...not really open-sea diving course...
you might ask, why don't take open-sea diving course then...
Hmm... the reason is simple...I don't have money loh...
That's why I don't want to talk about myself, this would be endless...
I will keep on talking talking talking...see...so long already I've typed...
Actually I still have many things to share with you all...
But since now it's quite late, so it's time for my liver to do its job....
And ready myself for later-on pool session...
So good night everyone...
hmm....besides "the 4 precious lessons" that I posted long time ago...

If being heard by my Dean, surely he will spanar me...
Actually for you info, there is something called dispensing right..
meaning to say the right to dispense medication...
for most of the countries like Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and many more,
there is a very distinct border between doctors' roles and pharmacists' roles...
However in Malaysia, we don't have dispensing seperation...
So pharmacists in Malaysia are no longer the sole drug dispensers having dispensing right...
so no seperation loh, all has been taken over by doctors
Instead doctors claim that the pharmacies and clinics are too far away, so it is more convenient for the patients to collect their medication after seeing doctors...one-stop services kononnya
Hello, you try and seperate and see...by that time, you will be surrounded by pharmacies...
So now you see how pathetic it is to be a pharmacist...
So next time, whenever you see a pharmacist, don't think that they are so hoseh...
actually their hosehness is merely a tin kosong..
Ok, ok...back to me...ermm..
recently I'm quite busy with my homework after busying with all those activities...
it's a good news to me to be with my studies again actually...or else I will only catch up with all the syllabi during study week...that will be hazardous then...
I'm supposed to be at home right now...
Anyway, I'm going home every weekend..
Why I stay back ler this week?
because I have my first pool session today afternoon...
hurray...I've been anticipating this after those boring yet important theory classes...
Oh yeah, what is pool session pula?
This semester I join Scuba diving, so I will be like learning those very basic things about scuba diving...however, I'm still not a diver yet even if I've accomplished the course...
because what I'm taking is just an introductory course...not really open-sea diving course...
you might ask, why don't take open-sea diving course then...
Hmm... the reason is simple...I don't have money loh...
That's why I don't want to talk about myself, this would be endless...
I will keep on talking talking talking...see...so long already I've typed...
Actually I still have many things to share with you all...
But since now it's quite late, so it's time for my liver to do its job....
And ready myself for later-on pool session...
So good night everyone...

My subjective point of view
At this moment, I should have been sitting in the class
but definitely not in my room...
huhu...I skipped class
Anyway, skipping class is not a new thing for me since this semester...
I wonder why the lectures would be so boring
instead the subjects are actually so interesting and of so much fun...
but I should have understood the reasons behind this...
Firstly, literally lecturers are not teachers. They were not trained to teach..
Secondly, if you are eating plain bread every meal everyday with just strawberry jam, will you be still so much expecting what you are going to eat for your next meal...similarly this happens to our lecturers...
Thirdly, the lecturers are to introduce you what the core would be in a subject, but not to teach and spoon-feed you...so they are expecting you to be independent enough to learn on your own...
After listening to so many reasons given by me on behalf of lecturers from my subjective point of view, now why not listening to my excuses why I wanna skip my class then...haha
Firstly, some lecturers are so boring...up to the extent that most of the students in the class are actually doing their own things...of course, there are still some of them who do really pay so much attention to lecturers or some are just so hardworking being a secretary copying word by word from the slides...however, since most of us have already "inherited" the notes from our seniors...basically I don't really bother to copy notes, unless the lectures are interesting and with extra information...
Secondly, some lecturers don't really prepare for the lectures..they even doubted what they said a second before...phew~luckily they managed to correct what they "tersalah cakap" at the end too...
Thirdly, some lecturers just conduct the lectures by reading the slides verbatim...eww...that's irritating me the most...why government pays them so much just to show them how good they could read, instead this kinda tough job could be done by anyone of us....
Fourthly, paling tak boleh tahan is that a lecturer is so much phobia when he's standing in front of us talking to us....walao eh...you know what? he closes his eyes while talking in front of the class....but then this gives us advantages too lah...because he would never what's happening behind the lecture hall...hahaha...
But of course lah, I'm not here to say playing truant is good...some lecturers undeniably are good and passionate....
I'm just here to express my "subjective" opinions...
After all, I might change my mind...
Still this is my advice to you all: Go to class
haha...
It's time for me to catch the 12pm...ciao~
but definitely not in my room...

A short blog
A short blog means the length of this blog is (going to be) short...
but I don't know how short it would be...but this is subjective...
if you find my blog interesting, then you might find it short
if you think that my blog is so walao-eh-boring, then you might find that it seems to be a thousand mile for you to finish it
Sometimes I feel like wanting to blog, but I don't know what to write
It's not that my life is too dull and not deserving a mention
just that I don't want to make blogging an obligation to me...
Life is already full of stress, why should I again place another burden onto myself
instead blogging is so much interesting..
unless you are earning your bread through blogging..
that's different story then...
I'm not and I don't think I can't..so
When I feel that I want to, then I'll do it..
When I feel that I don't want to, then I don't..
Why I wanna make a short post today?
there are several reasons
1. I have no idea what to write
2. I have endocrine test tomorrow
3. I'm going to go back to hostel soon
4. I haven't taken my bath though now it's already 4.41pm
5. I haven't packed my bag
Aiyah, if I don't want to do something, I can create a myriad of excuses...
Human is like that...I think this is a kinda subconscious self-defensive system...
If you are being questioned, unless you are well-trained or mind-prepared, your auto-pilot system will come out with all sorta excuses to defend yourself...
Okay, after a cascade of preambles...
coming to my topic today...
what am I going to share with you today?
The topic I'm going to talk about today is....
*tada*
I actually have nothing to share today..I just wanna post something to boost my visitor counts...haha
Now why not you all suggest me a few topics or subjects..
then I may discuss that from my point of view...of course in the first place, you're willing to know what's in my mind...
I think this is new and interesting..
(Too many tagging games nowadays)
but of course if I'm just hallucinating...there is actually no one reading my blog...
then muka tembok a bit loh me, I come out with a topic myself then
So leave me a comment or drop a line on my chatbox
and...
You'll determine my next post...
Thank you
(It's not a short post after all, but somehow, it just....)

Hello 2009
Phew~
Happy New Year
...
This is my first post in year 2009
Hello to 2009
Hello to you all
Hello to all my friends
Hello to all whom I know
Hello to all who knows me
Hello to myself
and Hello to the world...
Happy 2009...
Actually I'd like to blog since the very first day of 2009
but then my time doesn't allow to do so...
For the past 2 weeks, I was like playing role-playing game...
Sometimes 1) Pharmacy Idol Program Master
Sometimes 2) Pharnomena Art Director
Sometimes 3) APPS Gala Night Head Department
Sometimes 4) Pharmnight Program Master
Sometimes 5) My Study Group's coordinator
Even if you are playing visual games, you do only have one mouse to control one role at one time..
The feeling of being in this situation sucks
Imagine, CS2, you are playing both terrorists and counter-terrorists at the same time using one pc, on mouse and one head...walao eh..
One conclusion: "How to play?"
Yet I haven't included in the lab reports and the assignments that I'm going to face for the coming weeks...
Then this situation will be like:
CS2, playing both terrorists and counter-terrorists, and at the same time, you have to save the hostages from being killed by your terrorists and again, but you as the counter-terrorists, need to take all your terrorist down before all your terrorists kill the hostages. You are playing against yourself. Whichever win or lose, you die too.
Conclusion again: "Walao eh, kanasai...How to play?"
Sometimes multi-tasking might be a good training for someone...
but then I've found that too much of it will instead become a burden for him
I can't focus much on a particular task until I was like losing control over myself
I couldn't plan to do what I want to do..because one of them might just pop out anytime anywhere against my will...
Then my plan will then have to be changed over and over again...
Sometimes, I wish I could stop by, take a rest and think before I continue...
but then now, I seem to be screwing up everything...
Everyday
waking up,
Taking breakfast
Going to school and sometimes of course ponteng abit...Especially Z&Z's lectures
Taking lunch
Going back to hostel
Doing whatever incomplete
Taking dinner
Then going for meeting
Going back to room
Sleep
This is my first time experiencing such life...
"I don't know what I'm doing"
but then what to do, I'm the one who put all these shits on me myself...
Still I have to accomplish all these...
So another conclusion:
"I've learned again"
Aih...
Sien nah~
