人民的政治责任

2011 年的头一天，先上网看了几处国际新闻，不外是报道各国如何大肆庆祝跨年倒数活动，然后就报数某某国家的城市用了多少钱放烟花，不然就谁放的烟火最特别，还是最长的。其次，就是一些大国领袖对新的一年的展望。至于砂州的国际日报，就出一系列的大选报道。从中，有国内和国际在2010年的大事记回顾。其实2010已经是历史了，历史的回顾应该是提醒我们在过去的事件找出问题，然后寄望在新的一年作的更好。2010年，我国在政治上，社会课题，高等教育，经济上等等，还是处于得过且过的处境。唯一就是大家都嗅到可能国会大选的哨味，尤其是砂州。砂州人民从去年年中就预测来届州选的到来，可是一直到了2011年，除了白毛州席部长高调再婚，砂国阵不断派糖果给人民（拨款建路，建校etc.)，首相频频飞来访问，一系列报道执政党和在野党派谁参选，到底什么时候大选还是一个大问号。也有一种可能性就是，为了巩固国阵继续执政中央，砂州选可能和国会大选同时进行。马来西亚虽是英制民主制度，但是两线制还是很弱。可悲的是，很多年轻人（多数80后）选择不去理解这个国家的政治环境，更别说要登记选民投民主的一票。我看到一些报道，去采访80后年轻人对国阵和在野党的执政能力打分。有些采取中立的表态，有些认为两个党都是烂苹果，有些压根不懂有国阵和在野党之分！也难怪为什么这个国家一些领袖，部门越来越腐败，因为本来国以民为本，可是当人民选择不去关心政事，社会福利课题等等，这些国家领袖也就乱来，乱乱管，乱乱出点子，变成正事不做，还打人民的生计主意。一个国家是否健康成长，不外乎是他们服务对象是否有表态他们对执政政府的压力。以前大家过的好时，就开始不去关心国事，现在一大堆自称有高等教育资格的年轻一代，也对国事一点都不敏感。如果期待国家对人民好，人民必须对国内发生的事表态，一个巴掌打不响，那就该集合更大的力量去对执政政府施与压力，要给这些领袖知道，我们选你，你就要做事！除了这些，也感叹国内国外的民族，和因宗教引起的风波。2010岁末，2011第一天，埃及教会外的汽车爆炸案，伊拉克基督家庭被回教徒攻击的一系列报道，让今年新年过的好沉重。我是基督徒，向来和马来同胞过的很好，在砂州，我们彼此尊重，甚至当我们同座，我吃kolo mee (non-halal),他在我对面，也毫无冲突。比起国内一些州属，马来人领袖频频发大论“回中国”等等。我们在东马还过得挺融洽的。这不外乎是人为，和国内一些人的政治目的。宗教本质是和平，只有无事生非的一群人才以宗教名义以其达到个人目的。2011年跟往年将会差不多，大事小事天天发生，这就要看人要如何妥当处理。与其希望这个国家，这个地球怎样好，也该问问我们的良心是否履行我们的责任。

Merry Christmas 2010

Hi Everyone, Merry Christmas.

Just last week, i upgraded my status from Single to Married. The feeling of being someone’s wife is great, i can’t foreseen how my life will be going better or worse when time pass, but i enjoy the moment i have now. *Maybe because i don’t stay with Mak Mertua, so not that tough life yet. =p Every morning when wake up, there is a big hug and kiss from my husband that starts my day, makes me more energetic every day. *Also, i have no idea whether this little act can last for how long >.<” I started working for two days already, and today it is Christmas Eve. The first Christmas i going to celebrate with my married status. I always think that i chose the right date for my wedding, since i never forget the Christmas, as long as i remember a week before Christmas that is my wedding anniversary. and A week after Christmas, is the brand new year.

This year Christmas, i pray my family, especially my parents can celebrate with us in our church. I know i feel joyous in my heart, not because i am married, but it is the grace from God that has given to me all the time. Christmas is the day i should remember how God has love us all this while. While, i have nothing to give to celebrate His Birthday, i hope my beloved family and friends, that one day can believe what i believe in.

To Everyone, Merry Christmas, May God Bless you and your family. Enjoy the last few days of 2010, and look forward for the coming year!

 

December 2010

2 more days, then it will be 2 more weeks for my wedding. LOL, it is indeed a happy thing to share, the feeling of nervous, excitement becomes more intense, and i going to have the wedding rehearsal on 2nd day of December. I knew my dad is nervous, me too! haha.

i will give myself a 2 weeks break for this wedding, then will start finishing my lab works. Just submitted my thesis outline to boss, and will repeat some parts of my experiments to get more quality data. No more playing around, but pay full concentration and will make sure myself to get full momentum right after the wedding.

I look forward to meet some of my dearest friends from KL, you know i can’t wait to see them, i miss them alot, man!! Hopefully weather is good on my wedding day, i pray everything run smooth and the joyous goes to everyone who witness my big day. =)

Look older than actual age?

What is your feeling when someone said you doesn’t look like your actual age? I will be happy if he says i look younger than actual age, but it will be a disaster especially for girls, when we’re told that we look older than actual age. I just turned in 25 this year, while i can see some slight change of my face, physical look and some habits. For example, the slight wrinkles around my eyes, and the hormones changes which lead to popping out of excessive pimples at no reason. And feel so tired easily. But this is not the main point, the main point is the girls once turn into 25, that is a big possibility we can anytime look older compared to guys who are about same age or age older than us. It’s hurting but quite true, while we can’t control how our body hormone activities react. For most of the time, my husband that stood with me, people thought he is my younger brother! if not, people will think that i am about same age as him. At first i thought the problem is him (before i was 25), because that fellow really like forever young, there is people think he is still Form 5. Of cause, after i 25, i can’t blame his “forever young” as excuses anymore, especially i also sense there is some changes in my habit and physical look. Is time to take care of ourselves, not just to stay pretty but healthy. I must admit i am into another new cycle of life, which the focus should be on looking good with healthy lifestyle and healthy emotion. For all the girls that going into 25 or already inside there, please don’t feel sad when someone told you that you look older. Remember, no matter how thick the make up is, it can’t cover the reality, we should be confident being ourselves and admitting our true age, though some works still have to be done to stay happy and healthy all the time. =)
This post is dedicated to Stephanie.

Short update

Thank God, my abstract is accepted for CUHK Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Summit 2011 for poster presentation. Going to beg my boss whether he can sponsor the trip for me, i am craving for Hong Kong’s char siew and roasted duck! *finger crossed

A full of emotions month of October

I guess most of you know if you followed my status in Twitter and Facebook, i failed my second microarray experiment. It was a big disappointment.

I busy to look for alternative of what else i can do after the failure in this experiment, yet i found out the limitation in reagents. And my boss told me i must get the data out before 30 November. Yet i found out i have no money left and the thing i ordered last time hasn’t pass the approval for purchasing from the office. It was a big stress.

I encountered the countless time of office conflict between colleagues and managers, mostly due to small things. I felt bored about this kind of social network, which is unhealthy and stupid.

Forget about the research bottleneck, i just became the wife of somebody legally by law on the early month of October. And we had a great weekend enjoy the beautiful scenery in Mabul island and Sabah. It was a big pleasure that spent with loved one.

It is only 1 and half month left for my wedding day, it is a relief that my friends are willing to help out. I feel glad.

I look forward for November, another busy month and a good time management in coping up with the research works and wedding stuffs.

 

short talk: Just knew that some of my friends couldn’t make it to attend my wedding day in Kuching, it’s a disappointment but i totally understand. so if any of you see this, don’t worry, we are fine. =)
