OnE MeAL a DaY?!

One meal a day? Am I on Diet?
Noooooo.......
What i mean is i was just having one meal today.........
Not because I am on diet......
because I had a late lunch at Jogoya with my uni colleagues and felt so full until night......

My day was started from 6.30am- wake up then went to MARDI for some lab works.
Skip lab meeting today and reply some mails.........
Travel to UM at 12pm to meet up uni colleagues.......
Then, heading to Jogoya together and enjoy our late lunch at 2pm.
Why i choose to come here for second time?---requested by my colleagues lo...
Why they choose Jogoya since some of them have been here for third or forth time?--Got promotion mah!
The price was RM55.50 each for the late lunch session, inclusive of tax and 10% service charge......
Worth it right??
The ambiance is nice and the whole restaurant is very spacious and grand compared to Tenji and Shogun. Since it was a buffet style, basically you just have to take what you want to eat or just place a 'Jogoya clip' into the bowl and wait for the dish to be served (for those that need to be cooked) .
There are just too many foods we tried and ate (I didn't bring my camera that day, so no photo to show :(!! ). Some of them tasted good and most of them tasted average but some tasted really bad. We entered the restaurant at 2pm and only left at about 4pm. That’s a full 2 hours buffet session! Damn full man!!
Overall, it’s still a nice place to dine in where the foods is slightly above average and the price (with promotion) is consider 'cheap'. Anyway, it was quite enjoyable to dine in Jogoya but i don't think I will back again in a short time.

No pAin No GaiN...!?

Now I can predict that i will be very busy on the following 5 weeks......
Not only lab works plus tuisyen classes......
I also have to attend many many classes this semester,
a few seminars and tutoring a class every thursday at UM......
"No sweet without sweat"
After all these hardworks will come with a reward......
I can fly to Bangkok with dear for a vacation......Yeah!
Kambateh!

Bangkok....... A very nice city that i used to visit last five years ago with Aini and Mandy......

Here are some old photos.......

What a memorable trip......

Am I a GoOd LeaDeR?

How to be a good leader??
This was the hot topic recently in the conversation during my 'mamak' times with some of the YMM jenjarom members.....
How this topic started?
We are now arrange a programme name "the practice of recycling in our village" which aims to increase the public awareness and participation in recycling event.
In the event, we want to educate and encourage the public to foster a positive attitude towards recycling and waste minimisation.
During the preparation period, we (as the senior in the organisation) faced some big problems on how to lead our new committee members or how to train them to be more independent.....

So, back to our topic.....
How to become a good leader?
(Ok.... I have to admit that I am not a perfect leader....).
But based on my experiences and our discussion during those 'mamak' times......

These are some characteristics of a successful leader?
1. A good leader has an exemplary character such as the person who always practices clear, candid, and open communication. He will earn the respect from his team for the good character and trustworthiness .

2. A good leader is enthusiastic about their work. He will gives feedback and expects feedback from others.

3. A good leader must know how to puts the right people in the right positions.

4. A good leader must able to sees the big picture or keeping the main goal in focus. Not only view a situation as a whole, but he must also able to break it down into sub parts for closer inspection.

5. A good leader must know when to "let go their hands". He must trust the ability of his team and inspires confidence in others and draws out the trust and best efforts of the team to complete the task well.

6. A good leader is tolerant of ambiguity and remain calm, composed and steadfast to the main goal.

So, based on the characteristics listed above.......
Which characteristics do I have?

我是壮志凌云的工作狂

你相信心理测验吗？
我？不大相信咯。。。
今天刚巧经过同事座位时，看到他正做着一个叫什么图片心理测验的。。。
嘴痒痒的我随口说：“测什么测！不准的啦！”
同事带有一点不爽的语气回应：“不敢测就别出声！”
于是。。。我就胆粗粗的讨了网址测测看咯！
其实也没有什么啦！但测试结果还真准耶！
（居然测出我是壮志凌云的工作狂！！）既然认了，就把该网址放上来啦！
有兴趣请游览[图片心理测试]：http://match.lansin.com/zy.html
（测完后别忘了告诉我准不准哦！）

以下是测试结果：
性格简笔画：　　
当你测试完，蓝心想告诉你，拯救地球的重任落在你的身上了。　　
的确，你就是这类人。一直以来你都有个远大的目标，有抱负。低调不是王道，你的魅力迟早会如同漆黑中的萤火虫，散发出光芒。　　
你给人的感觉总是那样的活跃，有自信，善于交际。
或许从小学开始，你在伙伴中都是一个佼佼者，就连玩过家家，你也是小伙伴中的老大。（这个蛮准的）
你担任过班或者校学生干部，组织大家开展某项活动，相信在未来，你的演讲口才、领导才能、和闯劲让你的事业走得比别人更远。（对对对！）
你喜欢竞争、敢冒风险，挑战来临前觉得期待和激动。　　
对于你而言，与其平平淡淡地过小日子，不如轰轰烈烈的去干一番大事。在你一直在寻找机会，一个可以提升自己展示自己的机会。你注重效率、为人务实。心动不如行动，只要你确定目标，便会脚踏实地去拼搏和实现。而不是整天幻想怎么去花掉福利彩票的500万头奖。（其实我真的想简简单单过生活，但娜娜说我根本都没这个意思）

爱情扫描仪：　　
好吧。现在把你的右手放到圣经上，请告诉我爱情和事业你把什么放在第一位？
往往，为了追逐事业的成功，你不会去发现身边谁是那个最可爱的人。（娜娜肯定会举脚赞成）
可一旦你发现了猎物， 90%的可能会选择主动出击，而不管对方恋爱与否又或者生老病死。Noting is impossible。　　
当然，情书、情话、鲜花不是你的风格。和你恋爱不会有密集的花前月下，你希望的是对方能和你双剑合璧，一起仗剑天涯。这才是你的爱情宝典。（要那么准吗？）

注意问题：　　
你注重对权力、权威、物质的追求。这些东西对你而言是成功的重要标志。（每个人应该都想要吧！）
因此在生活和工作中，你可能经常会以利益得失、权利、地位、金钱等来衡量做事的价值。这样会让别人感觉你过于现实，而不能靠得太近。（这点不大认同）
应该学会去分享，事业永远不是全部。自我放松，体验平凡而普通大快乐，可能让你大事业更有动力。无论失败或者成功，也许有一天你会发现，与你同行的人，比你想到的地方更为重要。（我会用心思考的）

发展方向：　　
喜欢要求具备经营、管理、劝服、监督和领导才能，以实现机构、政治、社会及经济目标的工作，并具备相应的能力。如项目经理、销售人员，营销管理人员、政府官员、企业领导、法官、律师。（我比较想当老板耶！）

你看Slumdog Millionaire了吗？

最近还蛮多人问我这个问题：“你看Slumdog Millionaire了吗？”
单听戏名就好像是一部教人如何一夜致富的片子。。。（我纯粹胡乱猜而已！）
友人给它的评价还蛮高的。。。
搞得我也好想看看这到底是一部怎样的戏。。。
再加上昨天报纸大肆报导该片荣获好多项的奥斯卡奖项提名。。。


报导说戏里的小演员们可都是真正来自印度某乡村非常穷的家庭哦！
演技也十分精湛及逼真。。。
我想应该是部值得一看的电影吧！
好期待哦！
*从网上随意搜寻有关该片的报道，发现了一张还蛮有趣的剧照。。。一个可爱的小孩在“做正经事”。。。

走！让我们到墓场晨运去！

早上阅读报纸时发现了这项活动

“2009年度“跑跑古迹，带出关怀”千人义山行”

第一个感觉就是“游义山，还蛮新鲜的！”

细读了该篇文章并了解主办单位办此活动的宗旨后，觉得这活动还蛮有意义的。。。

即可以当做运动，又可以游览“古迹”，也可以表现一下我们对那么独特的文化遗产的关怀。。。

一些人应该会问：“你是不是吃饱没事做，到墓场去晨运？”

“到墓场去晨运”听起来还真是怪怪的。。。心里也会觉得毛毛的。。。

不过，只要平时不做亏心事，我想应该不会有什么事情发生吧！

参加该活动还有另一个好处，就是可以看看到底我国华社伟大人物如叶亚莱，林连玉等等的墓是长什么样子的。。。顺道可以拜一拜！

我会认真考虑要不要参加。。。（如果没事做的话！）

以下是这活动的一些资料：

日期：2009年4月26日（星期日）
联办单位共有18个：隆雪华青、雪隆广青、万挠广青、雪隆校友联青、隆河婆青、雪隆兴安青、雪隆广西青、雪隆嘉应青、雪隆茶阳青、雪隆会宁青、雪福青、雪隆潮青、雪隆福州青、隆雪惠安泉港青、雪隆海南青、雪隆惠州青、新纪元学院和马来西亚华人残障协会

BaCK to StuDy LiFe

"How am I going to teach people if I don't know the subject at all????"
This was the question in my mind when I was informed to handle a practical class on 'Microbial Genetics'.
So what to do? “死马当活马医咯！”
Now。。。。
I am studying hard to avoid any funny mistake which may happen that day.
Really hope this semester will end faster.....
So that I can concentrate on my lab works.....
Since mention about 'Microbial Genetics' here,
Let me introduce--- Escherichia coli
Why E.coli? because we live with this microbe whole life.....
Still remember, I used to read an article about this microbe wrote by my friend, Dr.Neoh....
In his article, he called this microbe as '伊可丽小姐'......(Haha, what a nice name in chinese...huh?)
E.coli is the most well studied bacteria. It normally lives inside your intestines, where helps your body to break down and digest the foods. Unfortunately, certain type of E. coli can get from the intestines into the blood and cause illness such as diarrhoea. Since E.coli is one of the best-studied prokaryotic model organism, scientist normally use them in mass production of wanted protein. The very first application of this microbe in biotechnology is to produce human insulin. My pHD studies also involve a lot of this microbe in my work too.
E.coli....... My favourite microbe!!

告别方便面三国！

从来鲜少接触在线游戏的我自认并不是一个会沉溺在玩电脑游戏的人。。。

但是，前阵子看见同事在线上玩‘方便面三国’，就觉得挺有趣，挺新鲜的。

于是我也就跟着玩。。。一玩就是半个年头（我当然不会全神贯注地玩）。。。

最近开始觉得腻了，同时也开始给自己找借口。。。“我很忙！没时间兼顾我的‘城市’”。。。

最终，把心一横先解散我的联盟（对不起，各位盟友！）

再把我的城市放逐‘边疆’。。。

最后想想：我还真的不是那么适合玩在线游戏。。。

即浪费时间，又浪费精神和精力。。。

何苦呢？

一波未平，一波又起！！

早上醒来，看到报纸大大个标题写着霹雳州变天。。。第一惊！
晚上听闻沈慕羽先生与世长辞。。。第二惊！
短短一天内，马来西亚竟发生了两件不愉快的事！

霹雳州的议员跳槽疑云终于有了惊人的结局，国阵成功拉拢四位民联州议员并重夺霹雳州政权！
从安华计划的916“联邦变天”到真正的“霹雳变天”。。。我真的对马来西亚的政治感到痛心及悲哀。对于出尔反尔及背弃自己党派的议员更是觉得反感！
政治家的不择手段，他们的前言不对后语，一切一切的金钱政治，简直把人民当成透明。。。
试问：“议员们乃是受了人民委托的代表，现在他们简直道德崩盘，说跳就跳，我们还能信任他们吗？真是悲哀！
感觉国家政治不进则退，甚至好像就步入末期似的，前途惶惶。。。好黑暗哦！

不开心的事情还有沈老先生的逝世。马来西亚华人的灵魂之一沈慕羽之所以伟大，是因为他为华人及华教奋斗，他勇敢地在当时相当保守社会里捍卫和争取身为不只是一个族群，更是一个人所理应有的基本人权成为先锋。他为华社付出实在太多了，也带动了后来许许多多的华教运动。还记得不久前，在华文书展看到有关纪念及表扬沈老先生的展览时，阅读了好多关于他为华社做出的贡献，对他的精神也产生万二分的敬意。
虽然沈老先生已不在了，但我相信他的那份精神会永远流传下去。‘华教运动’应该成为每个华人应有的责任。
谢谢您，沈慕羽先生。

2009 CNY FaMiLy PhoTo

还记不记得我在一年前写的这篇文章？

今年的新年我们当然不会忘记“例牌”地扮美美在屋子的每个角落拍下新年全家福。

（一）大门口

（二）厨房

（三）客厅（四）楼梯口（五）酒吧（六）茶坊 看回以往的新年全家福照片，感觉时间真的过得好快哦！

我们都长大了好多哦！

大年初九，拜天宫咯！！

大年初九可是福建人最重要的一天

由于仁村大部分村民都是福建人，不用问‘阿贵’就可以像想到当天的场面有多热闹吧！

在马来西亚非法燃放烟花可是犯法的行为，可会遭到重罚的哦！

但这并没有阻挡村民大肆燃放烟花庆祝一番。。。

还记得在大专时期，外地的朋友都喜欢在这一天到我家乡来感受当天的气氛。。。

回想起当时的情况，还真是心存怀念。。。

今年大妹和弟弟并没有在家里陪我们一起拜天宫。。。

大妹去了美里准备上课；弟弟回去吉隆坡宿舍准备应付考试。。。

所以家里也显得比以往冷清。。。

但是，当夜空划过十二点时。。。。。

一朵朵五彩缤纷的烟花不约而同的铺满了宁静的天空。。。

一阵阵随之而来的鞭炮声从四面八方地传到我耳边。。。

气氛一下之变得热闹起来。。。

爸爸赶紧张罗拜天宫的事宜。。。妈妈更是忙进忙出。。。

一会儿搬出鲜花水果，一会儿拿出神料。。。

我？拿着相机拍照。。。

拜天宫。。。希望今年一切顺顺利利。。。

许了什么愿望？

当然是秘密啦！

A Chinese New Year celebration will not complete without lion dance. This year, daddy invited the lion dance troupe to our home to bring 'ONG' and get rid of 'suiness'.

Because of this, we wake up early in the first morning of CNY and prepared to welcome our 'big guest' today.

I was told by my parents that the lion dance is not simply for entertainment. Basically it is performed on CNY to bring luck and prosperity to our house and to chase away all negative spirits.

The action from the lion dance troupe was not fantastic at all. *because they are not professional lion dancer?? They are just students from private chinese school...... okok.... no critics....!!i know!!
After the peeling of mandarin oranges and arranged them on a plate. Immediately after that, brother light up the firecracker and the lion passed the stuff in the red tray to my daddy. What they say is it signifies good luck and wealth.
