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)
日新草场
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!”
日新礼堂
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。

“学无止境,自强不息”
我想所有日新人都背负着这使命-自强不息。

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。
你说像样吗?
