Your future after your postgraduate study

2009-06-03T14:40:00.000+08:00

What will happen when you complete your postgraduate study.Now that you’ve completed your postgraduate study, it is time to embark on a successful career with the expertise and knowledge you’ve gained in the past year or two. If you are wondering how far you can go with your new certification, the answer is simple: you can go quite far.With the economy demanding more nowadays, organisations and employers are looking towards hiring individuals with postgraduate certification. After all, these individuals are usually better equipped with knowledge, skills and relevant work experience, especially if he or she has been working before completing the Masters or doctorate programmes. Most postgraduate students also come with a level of maturity and responsibility that some undergraduate students may not possess.Ahead of the restPostgraduate studies will help you increase your knowledge in a particular field. Because it makes you more specialised in your field, your knowledge will be more sought after by organisations. Postgraduate studies will also provide you with useful work-related skills such as project management, presentation skills, team building capabilities and more.With this, postgraduate study can enhance your chances of being employed at a higher starting salary. You can finally end up with your dream job.Getting noticedHowever, even with a postgraduate certification in hand, it doesn’t necessary guarantee instant employment. It may give you an advantage; but whether you end up with the job you want depends still on your personality as well as how well you present yourself to your potential employer. What you need to remember is aside from showing how much you have learnt from your postgraduate study, you should also demonstrate why it will aid you in becoming an important entity in the organisation. Showing enthusiasm as well as passion for your field of interest is important for your future employee to determine whether you are suitable for the job or not.Making the best out of itAll set to embark on your postgraduate study programme? Just be certain to make all the right decisions to pick the right course path. Do your research so you know that you’ve covered all bases as well as know sufficiently enough to make a sound decision. While being a postgraduate student may amount to responsibilities, it is also one of the best times for you to discover your true passion as well as the things that you are truly interested in. Not only that, it allows you to discover yourself and your self-confidence. At the same time, you will also be meeting different like-minded individuals so you can compare notes and learn from each other.It is perhaps the most interesting periods in your educational life so here’s a good advice: grab it by its horns and make the most out of it!

Being a research student

2009-06-03T14:18:00.000+08:00

What lifestyle can you expect?
Research is essentially about discovery and new knowledge. This is how a research degree differs fundamentally from a taught one. You need to accept that you will spend a lot of time barking up the wrong tree so perseverance and motivation are all-important when pursuing a research postgraduate study.Being a research student, your relationship with your supervisor is also fundamental. With this in mind, it is important to make a good choice. The role of your supervisor is to ‘manage’ your project, keep it on track, edit your thesis, select your external examiner and will, of course, be your referee. Your supervisor will also be a mentor, introduce you to their network of contacts and, as time goes on, attend relevant meetings and conferences.If you don’t meet people through your subject, there are a few other ways to make contact. It is very important to avail of whatever mechanisms exist or which are being developed, to help bring postgraduate students together, be it at department or graduate student union level.Developing a network of useful contacts and remaining motivated is critical to a research student. Treating the project as a job, planning your tasks and sticking to them from the outset will be vital for you to do so within the expected timeframe and before the funding runs out.

Ingredients We Avoid

2009-03-25T17:47:00.002+08:00

1. Artificial colours Artificial Colours and Dyes are petroleum- or coal-based. These may not degrade in the environment and are oftentimes the cause of allergies to cleaning products. Artificial colors are toxic for aquatic life and animals, and may irritate a person's skin or eyes. Many are carcinogenic.

2. Artificial fragrance (parfum)Artificial Fragrances and Perfumes are all petroleum-based. They enter our bodies through our skin contact and by inhaling them. They may contain phthalates. Synthetic fragrance is the most frequent cause of allergies and oftentimes the fragrance can be annoying, cause skin and eye irritation, and headaches. Artificial fragrances are toxic, and children in particular tend to be more sensitive to fragrances and can develop allergic reaction easily.

3. DEA, MEA or TEAA colorless liquid or crystalline alcohol that is used as a solvent, emulsifier and detergent (wetting agent). Works as an emollient in skin softening lotions or as a humectant in other personal care products. DEA, MEA, Cocamide DEA, and TEA can react with nitrites in the air or in other products to form nitrosamines which are carcinogens that are readily absorbed by the skin into our bodies. These chemicals are endocrine disrupters and may be toxic to our cardiovascular, central nervous, gastrointestinal and kidney systems as well as our skin. Commonly used in detergents, shampoos, dishwashing soaps, bubble baths, and face cleaners for foaming, these are synthetic chemicals made from coconut or animal oil and Diethanolamine, a derivative of Ammonia.

4. Formaldehyde (formalin / formal and methyl aldehyde, DMDM Hydantoin and Urea-Imidazolidinyl)A toxic, colourless gas that is a KNOWN carcinogen, and can cause irritation to eyes, reproductive, liver, and respiratory system, as well as asthma. It is toxic if inhaled. When combined with water, formaldehyde is used as a disinfectant, fixative or preservative. Found in many cosmetic products and nail care systems including deodorants, shampoos and hand wash. The World Health Organization has confirmed that it is indeed a carcinogen. Be aware of products containing:
o Imidazolidinyl

o Imadazolidinyl Urea

o Diazolidinyl Urea

o Sodium Hydroxymethyl Glycinate

o Benzylhemifomal

5. Isopropyl Alcohol This ingredient is prepared from propylene, which is obtained in the cracking of petroleum. Used in anti-freeze and as a solvent. It is a denaturant which is a poisonous or unpleasant substance added to alcoholic cosmetics to make them undrinkable. Changes another substances natural qualities or characteristics. Can cause nausea, confusion and neurological damage to cells. Found in hair colours, body products, hand creams, after shave lotions.

6. PEG (polyethylene glycol)PEG is used in cleansers to dissolve oil and grease, thicken products and act as a foaming agent. Also used in caustic spray-on oven cleaners.These compounds are a potentially carcinogenic petroleum ingredient that can alter and reduce the skin's natural moisture factor. Could increase the appearance of ageing and leave you more vulnerable to bacteria.

7. Parabens Used as a preservative in many toiletries and cosmetics. Parabens work by inhibiting enzyme activity. Traces of parabens have been found in human breast tissue although a link with breast cancer has not been proven 6. Parabens have been shown to have an estrogenic effect, i.e. they can mimic hormones and have been nick named 'gender benders'. One, propyl paraben, has been shown to adversely affect male reproductive functions; at the daily intake level acceptable under EC law, it decreased sperm production.These include:
o Methylparaben

o Propylparaben

o Ethylparaben

o Butylparaben

o Isobutylparaben Germaben is a combination of methyl-, ethyl-, and butyl-parabens.

8. Mineral oil and petroleum derived ingredientsA derivative of crude oil, mineral oil forms an oily film over skin to lock in moisture. Initially it will leave your skin feeling silky smooth. However it traps in toxins and hinders normal respiration by keeping oxygen out. This can exacerbate skin disorders such as eczema. Mineral oil is found in many products including baby oil and bath and body oils. Petrochemicals used in beauty products and toiletries include compounds such as propylene glycol, SD alcohol & benzene. Benzene is used as a solvent in lacquers and nail varnishes. It is highly toxic even in tiny quantities and has carcinogenic properties. Propylene glycol is a surfactant (found in anti-freeze). Breaks down protein and cellular structure. This is a somewhat natural ingredient, composed of vegetable glycerin and grain alcohol. However, it can be a strong skin irritant, can cause contact dermatitis, allergic reactions and acne, and may cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage.

9. Phthalates (DBP / DMP / DEP)Phthalates, commonly used in fragrance formulas and PVC (so many toys!), are chemicals known to hormone disrupters which means they can harm reproductive and hormonal systems. Phthalates can be carcinogenic chemical plasticizers, solvents, and fixatives. They have been linked to birth defects and that's why many advise pregnant women to choose unscented products and skip the perfume altogether. Children and pregnant women are cautioned against using APEs (alkylpehnol ethoxylates), Octoxynol, and Nonoxynol as they can disrupt normal hormone function. Most artificial fragrances, especially those found in perfumes and fragranced personal care products, contain Phthalates including deodorants, nail polish, hair care, and lotions. Phthalates are readily absorbed into our body through our skin and through inhalation. These do not have to be listed on the label since they are considered trade secrets and are often included under blanket terms such as 'parfum'. . They are merely listed as "fragrance" on the label and can contain hundreds of different chemicals, all of which have not been completely tested (feel like a walking experiment) on adults or children.

10. SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate)SLES - Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate or SLS - Sodium Laureth Sulfate may be the most commonly used dangerous ingredient. It is an inexpensive emulsifier which helps create the foam in many cleaners from shampoo (including "no more tears" baby shampoos), cosmetic cleansers, bath and shower gels, bubble bath to floor cleaners, car wash soap, and even engine degreasers. It makes a product bubble and foam.

It is highly corrosive that can cause irritation to the scalp, eyes and skin. According to the Women's Environmental Network there is some evidence to suggest reproductive effects and damage to liver, lungs & immune system. It also has even been linked to hair loss since it is so corrosive and attacks the hair follicle. It eats at the skin and can be quite an irritant; it can cause rashes. It strips off protective skin lipids. There is also a risk of forming nitrosamines as it interacts with other chemicals. It may be a strong carcinogen when contaminated with nitrosamines and is readily absorbed through the skin (when combined with TEA, DEA or MEA). The Journal of American College of Toxicology has determined that it damages the immune system. It is also a mutagen, according to the Tohoku School of Medicine in Japan, and as such can change our cell's genetic information.

Be cautious of other -eth compounds as well.

Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES).

2009-03-25T17:29:00.000+08:00

Both Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) and its close relative Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) are commonly used in many soaps, shampoos, detergents, toothpastes and other products that we expect to "foam up". Both chemicals are very effective foaming agents, chemically known as surfactants.
Unfortunately, both sodium laureth sulfate and its cousin are also very dangerous, highly irritating chemicals. Far from giving "healthy shining hair" and "beautiful skin", soaps and shampoos containing sodium laureth sulfate can lead to direct damage to the hair follicle, skin damage, permanent eye damage in children and even liver toxicity.
Although sodium laureth sulfate is somewhat less irritating than SLS, it cannot be metabolised by the liver and its effects are therefore much longer-lasting. This not only means it stays in the body tissues for longer, but much more precious energy is used getting rid of it.
A report published in the Journal of The American College of Toxicology in 1983 showed that concentrations of SLS as low as 0.5% could cause irritation and concentrations of 10-30% caused skin corrosion and severe irritation. National Institutes of Health "Household Products Directory" of chemical ingredients lists over 80 products that contain SLS and SLES. Some soaps have concentrations of up to 30%, which the ACT report called "highly irritating and dangerous".
Shampoos are among the most frequently reported products to the FDA. Reports include eye irritation, scalp irritation, tangled hair, swelling of the hands, face and arms and split and fuzzy hair. This is highly characteristic of sodium laureth sulfate and almost definitely directly related to its use.

So why is a dangerous chemical like sodium laureth sulfate used in our soaps and shampoos?
The answer is simple - it is cheap. The sodium laureth sulfate found in our soaps is exactly the same as you would find in a car wash or even a garage, where it is used to degrease car engines.
In the same way as it dissolves the grease on car engines, SLES also dissolves the oils on your skin, which can cause a drying effect. It is also well documented that it denatures skin proteins, which causes not only irritation, but also allows environmental contaminants easier access to the lower, sensitive layers of the skin.
This denaturing of skin proteins may even be implicated in skin and other cancers.
Perhaps most worryingly, sodium laureth sulfate is also absorbed into the body from skin application. Once it has been absorbed, one of the main effects of SLS is to mimic the activity of the hormone Oestrogen. This has many health implications and may be responsible for a variety of health problems from PMS and Menopausal symptoms to dropping male fertility and increasing female cancers such as breast cancer, where oestrogen levels are known to be involved.
Products commonly found to contains SLS or Sodium Laureth Sulfate
SoapsShampoosBubble-bathsTooth pasteWashing-up liquid / dish soapLaundry detergentChildrens soaps / shampoosStain RemoverCarpet CleanerFabric glueBody washShave creamMascaraMouthwashSkin cleanserMoisture lotion / MoisturiserSun Cream
To find hair, personal and household products without ANY SLS or other harmful chemicals, please click this link - SLS-free products.
The use of sodium laureth sulfate in childrens products is particularly worrying. It is known that, whether it gets in the eyes or not, skin application DOES lead to measurable concentrations in the eyes of children. This is known to affect eye development, and the damage caused in this manner is irreversible. If you have children DO NOT USE products containing sodium laureth sulfate or SLS - they will thank you for it one day.
Do not believe that just because a product is labeled as "natural" it is free from SLS or sodium laureth sulfate. Most common brands of "Natural" or "Herbal" shampoos and cleansers still use these harmful chemicals as their main active ingredient - check your labels!
That is not to say that you can't get sodium laureth sulfate-free shampoos, soaps, detergents and toothpastes. Some highly reputable companies have been producing such products for years. These products not only contains no sodium laureth sulfate, they are also free of other harmful chemical colorings, preservatives and even flavourings.

The importance of Hyaluronic Acid

2009-03-25T17:24:00.002+08:00

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG), which is a substance that attaches to collagen and elastin to form cartilage. HA not only helps keep the cartilage that cushions joints strong and flexible, but also helps increase supplies of joint-lubricating synovial fluid.

Research has shown hyaluronic acid to be an effective treatment for both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, particularly in its injectible form (the only form to date that has been approved for medical use by the FDA). In one study, over 80 percent of participants had significant relief of their painful arthritic symptoms immediately after treatment with HA injections. Pain relief lasted anywhere from nine to 12 months, after which time more injections were needed to maintain results.

Hyaluronic acid is present in every tissue of the body, and it performs many important functions. It helps deliver nutrients to and carry toxins from cells that do not have a blood supply, such as those found in cartilage; without adequate amounts of HA, the joints will become brittle and deteriorate. Not only does it keep joints lubricated, but hyaluronic acid also encourages water retention in other bodily tissues. It is found in large concentrations in the extracellular matrix (ECM), which is the fluid-filled space between cells. HA locks moisture into the ECM, keeping collagen and elastin moist and promoting a youthful appearance.

Hyaluronic acid is gaining popularity in the cosmetic and medical industries. Cosmetic products containing hyaluronic acid claim to hydrate the skin, allowing it to appear smoother and more radiant. Clinical studies have shown that it also helps wounds heal more quickly, and can reduce the appearance of both old and new scars. Injectible hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane, are being to lessen the appearance of lines, sagging and depressions in the skin caused by acne scars or injury.

HA eventually breaks down and is absorbed in the body, so both cosmetic and medical applications are not permanent. In most cases, the hyaluronic acid augmentation usually lasts between 6-9 months. Repeat treatments will be necessary.

Hyaluronic acid is available by injection, but you can also find many oral supplements at health food stores, pharmacies, and online distributorships. Studies show improvement in for most participants after only 2 to 4 months of oral supplementation, and some patients are able to decrease their dose after the desired results are achieved.

There have been no serious side effects associated with HA, although some people find that their skin is irritated at the injection site, and there have been rare reports of oral supplements causing rashes and skin irritation as well.

Dog Tail-Chasing Linked to High Cholesterol---Jennifer Viegas, Discovery News

2009-03-25T12:21:00.002+08:00

March 24, 2009 -- A team of veterinarians has found a surprising link between compulsive tail-chasing in dogs and high cholesterol, according to a study published in the March issue of the Journal of Small Animal Practice.The finding adds to a growing body of evidence -- mostly from studies on humans -- that high cholesterol may be a marker for behavioral problems such as panic attacks and obsessive compulsive disorder, which could be expressed by frequent tail-chasing falls in dogs. Bouts of tail-chasing can also occur after a dog experiences physical trauma, surgery or illness, noted Hasan Batmaz, a member of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Turkey's University of Uludag, who conducted the study along with a team of colleagues.
Certain breeds, such as bull terriers and German shepherds, seem to chase their tails more often than others. For the study, the researchers took blood samples from 15 otherwise healthy dogs that were compulsive tail-chasers. To serve as controls, 15 dogs that rarely chase their tails were included in the study as well.

Earth Song lyrics

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us)
I can't even breathe
(What about us)
What about the bleeding Earth
(What about us)
Can't we feel its wounds
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
(ooo, ooo)
It's our planet's womb
(What about us)
What about animals
(What about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust
(What about us)
What about elephants
(What about us)
Have we lost their trust
(What about us)
What about crying whales
(What about us)
We're ravaging the seas
(What about us)
What about forest trails
(ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
What about the common man
(What about us)
Can't we set him free
(What about us)
What about children dying
(What about us)
Can't you hear them cry
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
(ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about babies
(What about it)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
(What about us)
What about the man
(What about us)
What about the crying man
(What about us)
What about Abraham
(What was us)
What about death again
(ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn

別再為他流淚
詞：黃婷
曲：易桀齊
編曲：吳慶隆

你走了太久一定很累　他錯了不該你來面對
離開他就好就算了心情很乾脆

他其實沒有那麼絕對　遠一點你就看出真偽
離開他不等於你的世界會崩潰
轉個彎你還能飛

就別再為他流淚　別再讓他操控你的傷悲
就算有一點愚昧一點點後悔　也不要太狼狽
他不值得你的淚　把那遺憾丟在大雨的街
你曾在迷失的旅途中盲目追　以後為自己醉
(Ending: 以後管他是誰)

每段感情都非常珍貴　他的好你就放在心扉
記得有個人曾讓你那樣的心碎

你笑了照亮夜幕的黑　什麼夢都不比你的美
多少年以後想起他還有些體會　那時你已無所謂

梁靜茹沒有如果 (敗犬女王主題曲)

詞／曲：嚴爵
編曲：嚴爵　朱敬然

如果我說　愛我沒有如果
錯過就過你是不是會難過
若如果拿來當藉口　那愛是不是有一點弱

如果我說愛沒有如果　真的愛我就放手一搏
還想什麼還怕什麼　快牽起我的手

有人說　世界上最遙遠的距離不是生與死
而是我就站在你面前　你卻不知道我愛你

我常說　如果人類連愛一個人都被自己綁住
那世界末日已來到　不需要等到地球毀滅掉的那天

如果我說　愛我沒有如果
錯過就過你是不是會難過
若如果拿來當藉口　那愛是不是有一點弱

如果我說愛沒有如果　真的愛我就放手一搏
還想什麼還怕什麼　快牽起我的手

別怕太快樂　別怕失去我

随缘

2009-02-18T19:39:00.000+08:00

人生的生老病死，聚散离合，都是始于缘，终于缘。

有缘时，大家相聚一起。

缘尽时，大家互道珍重。

缘起缘灭，谁也无法改变，谁也无法留住。

随缘就是不强求，不执着。

缘聚时好好把握，缘散时，可以平静接受。

学着用自然的心情去面对，

用最自然的感觉去承受，

这就是随缘。

2009-02-13T08:47:00.004+08:00

你還敢吃魚翅嗎?(貼圖 )
曾看過...Discovery 裡有關於鯊魚的一些報導!! 裡面的畫面比現在各位所見的更殘忍 !! 裡面有提到很多漁民都是在外海獵捕鯊魚!!補到之後便在現場將鯊魚身上的魚鰭全部割下!! (請注意!!在這個階段鯊魚仍是活的!!!) 全部割完後鯊魚仍不會死亡!!!漁民便將鯊魚丟回海浬!鯊魚便躺在海底靜靜的等待死亡!! 期間可以看見鯊魚一直努力的扭動著身體但卻無法動彈。因為牠身上所有的鰭已經被割去!!包括尾鰭!!胸鰭!!背鰭!! 如此掙扎要數天之久鯊魚才會餓死!!!請注意喔!!是餓死!!!和流血流盡而死!!!!! 人類餓死就是死!!其他動物餓死就活該死好!!還記得之前有一部電影"駭客任務"!!裡面有一段話真的讓我深深有所認同!! 那時有一個"電腦人 "對著第二男主角說他在作物種分類時發現所有的哺乳類動物均會對地球會有所貢獻 !! 但我們人類雖然是哺乳類動物但只會對地球造成傷害!! 人類所到之處只會無所不用其極的耗盡當地的資源 !!而這種行為又剛跟某種生物相同---那就是"病毒" 最後只希望各位能盡量的將這些照片轉寄出去!! 讓大家都知道我們人類的惡行!! 寄望因為這些照片而減少對地球生態的傷害!!! 看完之後...覺得很難過....就像燕窩跟象牙一樣.....任賢齊在Discovery頻道常叫大家別吃魚翅，請大家多響應吧！想吃魚翅，不如吃粉絲算了！想吃燕窩可以吃白木耳，口感一樣而且又較健康！這種事已發生很久了，但有些人類還是無情的殘害動物！不擇食的結果...我想，人類也得不到好處！

1、不要以为三十岁离你还很遥远。当你二十岁时，曾经把三十岁看成一个遥远的未来，但现在回首一望，十年如一瞬间，虽整日碌碌而不知所为，时间却飞逝而去。我想当一个人的生命终结之时，回忆自己的一生时也会有同样的感觉。二十岁到三十岁，是一个人为自己的事业打基础的黄金年华，应当时刻警醒自己：三十岁而立，到三十岁时能否“立”起来？2、23岁之前，请记得，爱情通常是假的，或者不是你所想象的那样纯洁和永远。如果你过了23岁，那么你应该懂得这个道理，又也许你要用一辈子来明白这个道理，但这样太悲哀了，希望您能尽快明白吧。3、吃饭7成饱最舒服。对待男友最多你只能保持在3成。4、30岁之前请爱惜自己的身体，前30年你找病，后30年病找你。如果你过了30岁，你自然也会懂得这个道理。（当然无论您是哪个年龄段的，都请爱惜身体，身体健康最重要哦）5、事业远比爱情重要。（男女同理）如果说事业都不能永恒，那么爱情只能算是昙花一现。拥有事业的女人还怕没男人追求吗，要相信即使没事业无聊的男人也会不请自来的。6、不要轻易接受追求你的男孩。男追女隔座山。如果你很容易就陷进去，你会发现你会错过很多东西，失去很多东西甚至最宝贵的东西，比如：青春啊……就让那些男人觉得你高不可攀吧。7、请你相信，能用钱解决的问题，都不是问题。有钱有男人，没钱也有男人，那么男人更不是问题，那么别急着找男人。8、请永远积极向上。每个女人都有她可爱的地方，但是最不可爱的地方只有不积极面对生活，希望您最好不是因为男人而如此，这样最不值得。9、不要连续2次让同一个男人伤害。好马不吃回头草，是真理。如果认真考虑过该分手，那么请不要做任何舍不得的行动。10、如果你和你前男友能做朋友，那么你要问自己：为什么？如果分手后还是朋友，那么只有2个可能：你们当初都只是玩玩而已，没付出彼此最真的感情。或者：必定有个人是在默默付出无怨无悔！11、永远不要相信男人在恋爱时的甜言蜜语。都说女人爱听甜言蜜语，其实没本事的男人才会说甜言蜜语，反之是你对他说了。因此只当是耳旁风吧。12、请不要为自己的身材或者相貌、身高过分担心和自卑。人是动物，但是区别于动物。先天条件并不是阻挡你好好生活的借口。人的心灵远胜于相貌，请相信这点。如果有人以相貌取人，那么你也没必要太在意。因为他从某种意义来讲，只是只动物。你会跟动物怄气吗？13、失恋时，只有2种可能，要么你爱他他不爱你，或者相反。那么，当你爱的人不再爱你，或者从来没爱过你时。你没有遗憾，因为你失去的只是一个不爱你的人。14、请不要欺骗善良的男孩。因为这个世界上，善良的男孩几乎绝种。15、不能偏激地认为金钱万能，至少，金钱买不回你的青春和付出的感情。16、请一定要有自信。你就是世界上一道最美丽的风景，没必要在别人风景里面仰视。17、受到再大的打击，只要生命还在，请相信每天的太阳都是新的。18、爱情永远不可能是天平。你想在爱情里幸福就必定是要伤心的。19、如果你喜欢一个认为别人应该对他好的gg，请尽早放弃。没有人是应该对一个人好的。如果他不明白这个道理，也就是他根本不懂得珍惜。20、不要因为寂寞而找bf，寂寞女孩请要学会品味寂寞。请记住：即使寂寞，远方黑暗的夜空下，一定有人和你一样，寂寞的人不同，仰望的星空却是唯一。21、任何事没有永远。也别问怎样才能永远。生活有很多无奈。请尽量充实自己，充实生活。请善待生活、善待自己和家人。看了觉得不错。。和大家分享一下～

Dengue and Chikungunya: The Dirge of a Nation

2008-12-19T20:18:00.005+08:00

The 'buzz' words today throughout the country are 'Dengue' and 'Chikungunya'. Both these flu-like illnesses, brought on by the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti female mosquito, have set the death bells knolling in several Indian states. Dengue is the most common mosquito-borne viral disease in the world according to WHO.

The administrative machinery is battling with a situation that is threatening to go out of hand unless a formidable solution appears on the horizon. The onset of monsoons in the country has led to a surge of breeding among these mosquitoes, which co exists with humans and share the same milieu. Both Dengue and Chikungunya are common to the tropics and are not contagious. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are the causative vectors of both Dengue fever and Chikungunya, carry the virus that causes these diseases. Please note the following about the Aedes mosquito – · It is the female mosquito that feeds on blood as it requires the blood protein to produce its eggs. · The female Aedes mosquito searches for suitable places to lay their eggs and it is usually the stagnant water. The male mosquitoes usually feed only on plant nectar. · Aedes mosquitoes causing dengue usually bite during the day, unlike those that cause malaria, and their biting spree lasts from dawn to dusk. · The mosquito is attracted by the body odours, carbon dioxide and heat emitted from the animal or humans. Dengue, also known as 'break bone fever' is caused by the dengue virus. It sets in eight days after the mosquito bite. Mortality rate can be reduced to 15%, if timely treatment is provided. Dengue fever is sub- typed as Classical and Hemorrhagic.

"More housewives get HIV than sex workers"

2008-12-06T14:16:00.003+08:00

With an average of 12 Malaysians testing positive for HIV each day, Malaysia has one of the fastest growing AIDS epidemics in the East Asia and Pacific region. What is more worrying is that the trend is gaining a feminine face, mainly through heterosexual transmission. A new report releases by the Health Ministry and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) yesterday revealed that the trend of new HIV infections amongst women rose drastically to 16% in 2007 from 1.2% of total new cases in 1990.

Surveys showed that in 2006 more housewives tested HIV-positive than sex workers. Besides that, there are thousands of children living in homes shadowed by HIV. The results are a cause for concern as the vulnerability of women and children to HIV are directly linked. Families who are affected by HIV and AIDS, the disease itself does not have so much impact as it can be kept under control for many years with effective treatment. The biggest impact comes from stigma. Mothers whose families are affected by HIV and AIDS are most frightened by the reactions from friends, extended family, colleagues and their communities. Stigma can cause a person to be ostracised by friends and family. It can even cause a HIV-positive husband to disallow his wife to be tested. Besides, stigma can cause a woman to ashamed that she does not seek treatment and meaning an early death and young innocent child left without a mother.

Toxic Chemical Triclosan Found in Common Household Products

2008-12-05T23:53:00.002+08:00

A chemical called triclosan poses a health risk, as it is a toxic compound which can promote cancer. The most shocking thing is that triclosan is commonly found in everyday consumer goods such as antibacterial soaps, deodorants, body washes, creams, lotions, cosmetics, cleaning supplies, detergents, dishwashing liquids, and yes, mouthwash and toothpaste.Toothpaste is supposed to help clean your teeth, but what it actually does just might horrify you. When tap water meets toothpaste, the triclosan reacts freely with the chlorine in the tap water to become chloroform (a chlorinated aromatic) and is similar to the dioxins found in the compound Agent Orange. It's a chemical reaction occurring right in your mouth while you brush your teeth. And don't think you are safe once you rinse it all out of your mouth: research shows that it can remain in your mouth after brushing for up to 12 hours, and can be easily absorbed into the tongue and through mucus into the body. (Children are at the greatest risk, as they tend to swallow their toothpaste more while brushing their teeth.)According to the National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides (NCAMP), "Manufacturers of a number of triclosan-containing toothpaste and soap products claim that the active ingredient continues to work for as long as 12 hours after use. Thus, consumers are exposed to triclosan for much longer than the 20 seconds it takes to wash their hands or brush their teeth.""These products produce low levels of chloroform, but that adds up over time. The amount of gas formed is very low but I think the key thing is that we just don't know what the effects are. However, manufacturers do have to list triclosan on their ingredients, so if consumers are worried the best advice is to avoid products with the chemical," said Giles Watson, a toxicology expert.
Triclosan is a Probable Human CarcinogenThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Union currently regulate triclosan, and the Environmental Protection Agency classifies this substance as a probable human carcinogen.Toothpaste manufacturers claim that triclosan is used because it helps to reduce plaque and kill bacteria, but it actually aids in gum damage and can cause mouth ulcers, say some health experts. These companies like the chemical because it allows them to state the product is a "99.9% bacteria killer" and make claims about the product being a "medicated formula."According to the chemical creator's website, Ciba Specialty Chemicals "invented triclosan more than 35 years ago and in this long time of application without any adverse effects it has proven itself as the 'aspirin' of the antibacterial actives -- helpful without side effects."The popularity of triclosan is a reflection of its unique combination of efficacy against almost all types of bacteria and safety to man and nature which with the currently known substances used cannot be surmounted."The toothpaste manufacturers haven't done any substantial studies that reach a decision on whether to take triclosan out of their products. They continue to say that it is safe and only harmful if ingested. Even then, they say it only affects the nervous system (as if that's something very minor to have harmed).No Good Science Supporting Safety of TriclosanAccording to the American Medical Association: "Despite their recent proliferation in consumer products, the use of antimicrobial agents such as triclosan in consumer products has not been studied extensively. No data exist to support their efficacy when used in such products or any need for them…it may be prudent to avoid the use of antimicrobial agents in consumer products." The chemical company states: "Ciba supports the use of triclosan only if there is a benefit to human beings."So, what if it is shown to offer no benefit to humans? Will they pull it off the shelves now that evidence points to its danger from exposure? (Some toothpaste manufacturers, like Tom's of Maine, specifically state that they do not contain triclosan.)Also Found In Toys, Bedding, Clothing And MoreTriclosan is also used in plastics and fabrics, where it goes under the trade names Microban and Biofresh respectively. It is infused into or used as an additive in a number of consumer products like toys, bedding, trash bags, socks, kitchen utensils, textiles and plastics."Over 95% of the uses of triclosan are in consumer products that are disposed of in residential drains. In a U.S. Geological Survey study of 95 different organic wastewater contaminants in U.S. streams, triclosan was one of the most frequently detected compounds, and in some of the highest concentrations," according to the NCAMP.According to Worldwatch Institute: "In the United States, 75% of liquid soaps and nearly 30% of bar soaps now contain triclosan and other germ-fighting compounds whose prevalence can foster the growth of bacterial resistance."The widespread use of triclosan is now known to create the risk of breeding new, resistant superbugs that may be far more dangerous to human health than the original germs killed by triclosan in the first place. My advice to consumers is to avoid all products containing triclosan.What To Do• Avoid all products that make "antibacterial" claims (unless they are using herbs to accomplish it).• Be aware of the harmful environmental impact of consuming products containing triclosan. The ingredient is not only unhealthy for humans, it's also unhealthy for the environment.• Read the ingredients labels of all consumer products in order to make sure they do not contain triclosan.

CERVICAL CANCER VACCINE

2008-11-30T09:39:00.001+08:00

What is cervical cancer/ carcinoma of the cervix?

Cervical cancer is malignant tumor in the cervix (structure between vagina and the uterus).The peak of incidence occur between the age 20-30.Worldwide, about 500,000 new cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed each year, resulting in 250,000 deaths.We should understand that Cervical cancer is not cause by hereditary.

Nearly all cases of cervical cancer is caused by Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. When someone got infected, this virus causes a short period of symptoms and then it disappears without any treatment. This virus persist in the cervix epithelium for years and gradually changes the genetic apparatus of the cells and then leads to excessive proliferation of infected cells and formation of intraepithelial neoplasia.

Who is affected?

HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease. It usually infects any young people (age 16-30) that are sexually active with multiple partners. The incidence is highest in developing country such as India, Thailand; where prostitution of young girls is very high. The ratio of cervical cancer to breast cancer in these countries is 3 : 1.
People at risk of acquiring this infection are people who:- started sexual life at a very young age (<17 yrs old)- has multiple sexual partners- had unprotected sex without condoms- has husband/partner who previously has a wife died because of cervical cancer (yes, this virus love glans penis, it lives and multiplies there and this infected penis will be the carrier of this HPV infection)- has medical history of STD
*Gays can also be infected with HPV but since the location of poking will be different, they will get anal cancer.
Smoking increases the rate of malignisation of cells. Don’t think that holding a cigarrette, naked in bed with some cute guy is cool. It can kill you. (I think nowadays people watch too much drama series. tsk tsk, this is bad, very bad.)
The incidence of cervical cancer is almost none in virgins.

Who needs the vaccine?

This vaccine is recommended to female age 13 - 26 years old. The younger the better, before she start having sex. The vaccine will activate immune system against HPV before she is expose to the virus. (If you plan to engage in a lot a lot of sex act with many guys in future, I think it is better to be vaccinated.)
The vaccine is given as a series of three injections over a six-month period. The second dose is given two months after the first dose, followed four months later by the third dose.
Women that are already sexually active, this vaccine will still be effective, it reduces the risk of transformation of cervical epithelium into cancerous cells.
*boys age 9-15 yrs old can be vaccinated as well if you suspect he has tendency to be homosexual to prevent anal cancer.
Are you in the risk group? Then you will need the vaccine for sure. On the other hand, other girls (virgin/non-virgin) can consider taking this vaccine as a prophylaxis.

Anti Coal-Fire Plant in SANDAKAN SABAH

2008-11-27T15:25:00.004+08:00

Dirty Coal Power
We all use electricity in our daily lives, almost without thinking about it — turning on the lights, listening to the radio, using computers. If we stopped and learned about the energy we use, we would encounter some shocking realities about how energy production affects our health and our environment.

Where Our Power Comes From
With all the amazing technological advancements over the last century, one thing that has not changed very much is our reliance on fossil fuels, in particular, dirty coal to generate electricity. More than half of the electricity generated in the United States comes from coal.1 The producers of the largest share of our nation’s energy, coal-fired power plants are also one of the dirtiest sources of electricity.

Older Plants are Dirtier
When the Clean Air Act of the 1970s was passed, Congress included a "grandfathering" loophole that allowed older power plants to avoid meeting the modern pollution control standards that new facilities had to adapt. At the time, Congress allowed the loophole because it expected that these "grandfathered" plants would soon retire and be replaced by cleaner, new plants. However, many of these older coal-fired power plants have sidestepped the new source review provision and have illegally avoided installing modern pollution controls.2 As a result, today most existing power plants are between 30-50 years old and are up to 10 times dirtier than new power plants.3 We are now faced with a disproportionate amount of pollution coming from these old, dirty, under-controlled plants.

Dirty Coal-Fired Power Plants and Air Pollution
Power plants are a major source of air pollution, with coal-fired power plants spewing 59% of total U.S. sulfur dioxide pollution and 18% of total nitrogen oxides every year.4 Coal-fired power plants are also the largest polluter of toxic mercury pollution5, largest contributor of hazardous air toxics6, and release about 50% of particle pollution.7 Additionally, power plants release over 40% of total U.S. carbon dioxide emissions, a prime contributor to global warming.8

Smog and Ozone
Power plants are second only to automobiles as the greatest source of NOx emissions.9 When nitrogen oxide (NOx) reacts with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sunlight, smog (ground level ozone) forms. Of the six major criteria air pollutants regulated by the EPA, NOx emissions have historically been the hardest to control. One of the contributing factors is that NOx emissions from huge dirty coal plants in one region can easily pollute areas hundreds of miles downwind. The American Lung Association estimates that almost half-48% or 140.5 million- of Americans live in areas with unhealthy levels of smog.10 When inhaled, smog can cause a wide range of health problems, including immediate symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pains, wheezing, and increased susceptibility to respiratory problems.11 Smog can also cause many more serious problems like increased risk of asthma attacks and lung inflammation. Recently, scientists concluded that exposure to smog can be deadly. Smog affects everyone, but is especially dangerous for children, the elderly, and those with respiratory problems. Even our national parks have not escaped the smog and ozone pollution caused by coal-fired power plants. Many parks already experience unhealthy air days, and the problem is getting worse.12 Smog concentrations have increased at 22 of 31 National Park Service monitoring sites since 1990. This persistent ozone pollution can harm plants and vegetation by damaging leaves and disrupting growth.13 Along with other pollutants, nitrous oxides can also chemically alter soil and water, leading to acidification and other serious problems that harm plants and animals.

Particle Pollution and Soot
Coal-fired power plants are also the largest single source of sulfur dioxide (SO2), releasing about 2/3 of the total SO2 pollution each year.14 Sulfur dioxide, which can travel long distances in the atmosphere before falling down to the land, can cause problems on its own as well as when it combines with other pollution to form other dangerous compounds.15 In addition to acid rain (see below), SO2 can combine with nitrogen oxide (NOx) and other particles to form particulate matter, which is sometimes called soot. Particulate matter, which can also be released directly from the smokestacks of coal-fired power plants, is often divided into categories based on the size of the particles-coarse, fine, and ultrafine-but all three are hazardous to your health and the environment.16 Particle pollution is one of the most dangerous air pollutants, and over 64 million Americans are estimated to breathe air that has so much particle pollution that it puts their health at risk.17 Particle pollution can trigger heart attacks and strokes, lead to cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), cause respiratory irritation, and worsen asthma. Both short-term and long-term exposure can cause premature death. In fact, particle pollution from power plants in the U.S. leads to over 30,000 deaths each year-a shocking figure when compared to the 17,000 homicides committed each year.18 Cutting power plant emissions by 75% could avoid more than 18,000 of the deaths caused by particle pollution. In addition to its health impacts, particle pollution is also the number one cause for haze, or reduced visibility, in the U.S., including in our National Parks.19 Regional haze from airborne pollutants has reduced annual average visibility in the U.S. from natural conditions to about one-half in the west and to one-third in the east.20

Acid Rain
Acid rain, or acid deposition, occurs when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) react with water and oxygen in the atmosphere to form acidic compounds, most commonly sulfuric and nitric acid.21 These acidic compounds then either mix with natural precipitation and fall to the earth as acid rain, or remain dry and then settle to the ground. In the U.S., coal-fired power plants are the single largest source of SO2 pollution (66%)22 and the second largest source of NOx pollution.23 Acid rain destroys ecosystems, including streams and lakes, by changing their delicate pH balance making them unable to support life. Acid rain can destroy forests, devastate plant and animal life, and eat away at man-made monuments and buildings to effectively destroy our natural and historical treasures.24 Already, numerous lakes and streams in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York are too acidic to support fish life, and long-term acidification continues to threaten the Chesapeake Bay.25

Air Toxics and Mercury
Coal-fired power plants are the largest single man-made source of mercury pollution in the U.S.26, and are the largest contributor of hazardous air pollutants.27 In smokestack tests, coal-fired power plants were found to release 67 air toxics, many of which are known or suspected carcinogens and neurotoxins that can cause development problems, respiratory problems, and aggravate asthma.28 Of these air toxics, one of the most dangerous is mercury. Mercury from coal-fired power plants is released into the air through the exhaust system when coal is burned. The primary exposure for Americans occurs when this mercury falls to the earth and runs into our lakes, rivers, and streams and contaminates the fish.29 Humans can be contaminated when they eat these fish and shellfish. In 2004, 47 states and territories had fish consumption advisories for mercury for at least some of their waters.30 Mercury is a developmental toxin, primarily affecting fetal development.31 In unborn children, it can cause brain damage, mental retardation, blindness, and many other problems. Infants are also exposed to these dangers through contaminated breast milk. While the dangers of mercury are most often associated with women and children, eating fish high in mercury has also been found to put middle-aged men at a greater risk for coronary heart disease.32

Global Warming
Burning fossil fuels such as coal releases carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution, making energy use the single largest source of greenhouse gases in the U.S. and the world.33 Currently there is 30% more CO2 in the atmosphere than there was at the start of the Industrial Revolution, and we are well on the way to doubling CO2 levels in the atmosphere during this century. Although the US has only four percent of the world’s population it emits about 25% of global warming pollution.34,35 Power plants emit 40% of total U.S. carbon dioxide pollution, the primary global warming pollutant.36 Although coal-fired power plants account for just over half of the electricity produced in the U.S. each year, they have been responsible for over 83% of the CO2 pollution since 1990.37 Coal-fired power plants have the highest output rate of CO2 per unit of electricity among all fossil fuels.38 The atmospheric concentrations of CO2 and other greenhouse gases reached a new high in the 1990s, the hottest decade on record.39 Average global temperatures have risen already by one degree Fahrenheit, and projections indicate an increase of two to ten degrees within this century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has reported that global warming threatens human populations and the world’s ecosystems with worsening heat waves, floods, drought, extreme weather, and by spreading infectious diseases. Unfortunately, global warming problems continue to grow as more greenhouse gases are spewed into our atmosphere.

Challenges and Solutions
The facts are in: coal-fired power plants and the pollution they release every day are a major threat to human health and our environment. We need to act now to clean up dirty coal power through pollution reductions that can protect our families now, not in two decades. We also need to reduce our dependence on dirty coal by retiring and replacing these plants with clean energy alternatives like wind, solar, and improvements in energy efficiency.
We have the technology today to implement real energy solutions that will move our country forward into a brighter energy future. These solutions can curb global warming and cut air pollution, while at the same time building a clean, sustainable economy that lowers energy bills and creates thousands of new jobs.

Dear Sandakan families, friends and supporters,
The Anti Coal-Fire Plant Action Committee will be gathering at the Sandakan Rainforest Park, (Kebun Cina or Taman Tshun Ngen) at 4pm, 29th NOVEMBER. We hope to draw as many people as possible - especially women and children - to stand behind us in telling our government and SESB and ALL those involved THAT we do not want the set up of a COAL-FIRE POWER PLANT in SANDAKAN. The risks are too high; to our people, environment and future!
The press will be invited to photograph the group. PLEASE SHOW YOUR SUPPORT. This rally is held in conjunction with the SANDAKAN BIRD FAIR which will be officially opened by our CM MUSA AMAN, Tourism, Environment & CUlture minister MASIDI MAJUN, National Tourism Minister Dato AZALINA OTHMAN, our MPS president and various VIPS at the RAINFOREST DISCOVERY CENTRE RDC, SEPILOK, Mile 14, on the same day.

So there will not be a ‘clash’ of people. Do not worry.

Marine natural products and their potential applications as anti-infective agents

2008-11-22T17:23:00.003+08:00

Sarcophyton

Lobophyton looks like my hand (related species of Sarcophyton)

The oceans are a unique resource that provide a diverse array of natural products, primarily from invertebrates such as sponges, tunicates, bryozoans, and molluscs, and from marine bacteria and cyanobacteria. As infectious diseases evolve and develop resistance to existing pharmaceuticals, the marine environment provides novel leads against fungal, parasitic, bacterial, and viral diseases. Many marine natural products have successfully advanced to the late stages of clinical trials, including dolastatin 10, ecteinascidin-743, kahalalide F, and aplidine, and a growing number of candidates have been selected as promising leads for extended preclinical assessment. Although many marine-product clinical trials are for cancer chemotherapy, drug resistance, emerging infectious diseases, and the threat of bioterrorism have all contributed to the interest in assessing natural ocean products in the treatment of infectious organisms. In this review, we focus on the pharmacologically tested marine leads that have shown in-vivo efficacy or potent in-vitro activity against infectious and parasitic diseases.

Television reporter Angela Vidal (Jennifer Carpenter) and her cameraman (Steve Harris) are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building. Phones, internet, televisions and cell phone access have been cut-off, and officials are not relaying information to those locked inside. When the quarantine is finally lifted, the only evidence of what took place is the news crew’s videotape. (*** HORROR MOVIE!!!THIS TYPE OF MOVIE MAY CONTAIN SOME UNCOMFORTABLE SCENES!!!

HONDA ASIMO at ONE UTAMA on 16th of NOV 2008 (Part 1)

2008-11-17T10:09:00.012+08:00

On 16th of Nov, I and my sis decided to go one utama to look clear at ASIMO (Advanced Step In Innovative Mobility). A humanoid robot. He can runs, walks, and dances. An more importantly, he inspires all us to dream..:P.

"In the pursuit of advanced mobility, Honda engineers have dreamt of creating an intelligent multifunctional machine. What began as a dream has today evolved into a new possible partner for people in the future. It tooks 22 years of painstaking research and development to create ASIMO. The extraordinary feat in the field of robotics opened doors to new possiblities in mobility for the future. Although considered extremely difficult at the time, we set ourselves on this ambitious goal to revolutionise technology and create a Humanoid robot, which is able to function well in society by using i-walk technology.

ASIMO Evolutions

The concept behind Honda's robot R&D was to create a more viable moblity that allows robots to help and live in harmony with people. Research began by envisioning the ideal robot form for use in human society.

CLEO FASHION RAVE on 8th of NOV 2008

2008-11-15T14:38:00.012+08:00

On 8th of Nov 2008, I and my sis bought cleo magazine to the Fashion Rave at PAvilion kl. My sis said she didnt go to fashion show before..haha.. Then we went there and have a look.. Not much interesting there..The show was delayed for one and half hour.. Got free goodies bag.. Inside got lots of free gifts such as hydrating herbal essences shampoo, Rexona, one maybelline lip gloss, one pencil box, 2 pencils, coupons, one recycle bag ( I like it the most) etc..But next time i wont go to this type of event..Sienz la..The security guard of PAvilion kl not allow audience sit on the long stairs there..haiz..Dun wan go liao next time..:(

Keep on motivated myself..Never give up..

2008-11-07T18:37:00.002+08:00

"passion, determination, commitment and prolong interest" from ck advice..haha..This few adjectives are applicable to everybody, no matter in pursuing studies, job, etc. As a researcher keep on face most of the problems, in order to understand more, fill in their knowledge gap and mistakes that we faced. Dun give up and keep on find out the answer for it..

"People who intend to do something, or want to strive for a goal, then they should bear in mind that always have a "right attitude", rather than blaming unfair treatment, and so on..." I likes tis sentences.. I will remember for not blaming others... Just do and figure it out the problems u face and attempt to achieve the goal.. Thanks ck for the encouragement and some useful advices..U are right and i must learn from you.. haha..

"If other people can do it, why can't I" also a good way to motivate people too.

My Babe ( Soft coral Sarcophyton)...:P

2008-11-07T17:33:00.013+08:00

Let me introduce my babe Sarcophyton to u all... I forgot to take its pic to u all.. So i just got some pics from the Internet...<_>.. Dr. Khoo (my co-supervisor, chemistry lecturer) collected those soft coral from the Port Dickson..haha.I didn't follow him to collect those corals coz i'm not a strong swimmer. A person not a strong swimmer advised not go to sea collect soft coral, if any accident he might sue by my parents..hoho.. Oh yahoor.. I havent explain wat is the purpose of collected Sarcophyton from the sea..haha..I not officially a master student in UTAR yet(still the same uni..haha), Since i very very very free, so I decided to doing some readings and observations while waiting for the Scholarship there to approve... sienz..Then i just told my supervisor (Dr.Sit) that i want to start early, he said okay then he gave me some briefing about the extraction method and differences between marine and plant extracts during freeze drying.. Marine organism must be frozen after collected it coz its quite easy to oxidise and reduce spoilage and chemical degradation. Plant must be fresh or air dried. My title was roughly about Bio assay of plant extract or marine organism extract for antimicrobial activity. Let me show u some pretty pics of Sarcophyton before I cut it into pieces.. So pity the soft coral.. Before I cut it into pieces, soft coral quite smelly and looks like "cow's tongue". When we handle or cut the marine organism we must wear gloves for safety because there may be some strong irritants (may cause immediate itching and rash formation in some individuals), tumor promoting properties and others harmful effect. But some how marine organisms rich of biological active compounds that we need extract from it. This was because natural products are spiked due to their low cost, availability from renewable sources, low toxicity and complete biodegradable.

Looks like "cow tongue" pink colour tongue.haha

This one more look like my babe "Sarcophyton" haha..

After that, the current master student asked me to cut the coral into cube pieces.. When i cut it, its secreted lots of mucus like "milo" and sticky mucus.. Let see the body of the soft coral.. cham and it die coz cut by me..haiz..

This was the body of sarcophyton.. Cham..killed by me..haha..

This was its mucus (maybe toxin secreted by soft coral).

I keep on squeezed on it..Coz the mucus keep on secreted out.

The end.. I will keep on updated my research.. Now still free coz the freeze drying machine broke down again and my co supervisor sent to other uni for freeze drying. Cheers and have a nice weekend everyone.. :P

Unbelievable Relationship...:P

2008-11-07T09:32:00.004+08:00

I would like to start my story in this way. Let shows u guys some pics here...My mum told me last night that Obama's half sister was my aunty..haha..Long distance aunt... I so suprise when i knew the new...and her husband was my mum's cousin..haha..

The girl was half sister (Maya Soetoro-Ng) of Barack Obama (President of US) and her husband was my mum's father's brother's son (my uncle) haha.. omg.. For me was really suprise, coz i jus met them long time ago in sandakan sabah. They came to my home and had a meal with all the relatives. They seldom come back to sabah. Coz they all lived in canada and hawaii there. I still very blur that time. I didnt talk with them much. I only remembered they had pizza at my home that time.. haha..

His parents are from Kudat and Sandakan, two small towns in Sabah, Malaysia and he was born and raised in Burlington, Ontario. Married Maya Soetoro-Ng at the end of 2003 in Hawaii. They have one daughter, Suhaila. ) Found from encylopedia.. haha.. Konrad NG and his wife both are assistant professor.. so nice..

我怎么了

2008-10-10T17:31:00.000+08:00

我怎么了
喜欢一个人是幸福的，绝对甜蜜
喜欢一个不该喜欢的人是痛苦，绝对遗憾
从一开始，我便喜欢上这个人，可是，也从一开始，我知道之间根本没有机会
是上天愚弄我，让我对这个人产生感情.
我和这个人关系非常好，可是我很清醒知道，永远不可能在一起
其实，我真的清醒吗?
要是清醒，为什么还在委曲求全，为什么还在默默等待，默默付出，看着这个人与伴侣在一起，而自己却独自哭泣…
到底，我还能怎样才能忘记这个人。。。
这个人的确带给我好多快乐，也为我增添许多烦恼
我到底怎么了

請珍惜你的傻女

2008-09-25T13:15:00.000+08:00

女人有時真的好傻，可以為了愛一個男人，而拋下自己的父母，來照顧那男人的父母；但男人不用

女人有時真的好傻，可以為了愛一個男人，而寧願自己挺顆又重又大的球十個月，只為了替那男人生下一個跟男人姓的下一代；還得承受生完小孩後的體質變差、身材變形的後遺症但男人不用

女人有時真的好傻，可以為了愛一個男人，而放棄一卡車追求他的好男人，只為和男人長廂廝守，卻埋沒了最美的青春；但男人卻不為青春所懼，雖然男人愈老不一定愈值錢

女人有時真的好傻，可以為了愛一個男人，而放棄父母給她二十多年的姓，而跟著老公姓，又被冠上"太太"二字；但男人沒變

女人有時真的好傻，可以為了愛一個男人，而早上上班，晚上煮飯做家事帶小孩，有工作也有家事的壓力；但男人沒差，反而多了個賺錢的人和不用給薪的女傭

女人有時真的好傻，可以為了愛一個男人，而去適應一個完全不同的家庭和面對男人的親友團批評，女人懂事的試圖尋求男人的保護時，換來的是...
男人不僅沒有保護他的女人，反而一起落井下石，在一個女人孤力無援的環境裡~~~

男人啊！若你您的身邊有這樣的一個傻女人時，請當她的笨男人，好好的珍惜她、照顧她吧別忘了，她不是天生就該來照顧你們全家大小的，女人很單純也很懂事，只要當她受傷時，好好傾聽她、支持她、保護她，為她拭淚，她就會感動一輩子更別忘了，當男人年老時或生病時為您把屎把尿的，絕不是已老的也要您照顧的父母，最有可能的就是從年輕到老，始終在您身邊的女人

2008-09-23T17:53:00.001+08:00

朋友　請不要傷悲
今天冷落你　出於那天喜歡你
命太短跨不出鑽禧
遊玩過總有驚喜
他怎對待你亦無非命理

為何愉快變做幽怨　伴侶已經叛亂
願望情路長遠　相戀卻苦短
拖過手分了手　即使彼此非自願
這公式的結果　怎麼選

死不了　傷不到幾天
青春太善變　失戀痛楚少不免
幸有他指出這缺點
能讓你加以修剪
他不愛護你　做人可自勉

為何愉快變做幽怨　伴侶已經叛亂
願望情路長遠　相戀卻苦短
拖過手分了手　即使彼此非自願
這公式的結果　怎麼選

那根繩　必須剪斷　或許不自願
明日要為你預算
你不要在殘局拼命眷戀
怎麼選　一生姻緣　未必可以選
不要讓眼淚放大眼圈
他不會眷戀你的哀怨

伴侶已經叛亂
願望情路長遠　相戀卻苦短
拖過手分了手　即使彼此非自願
這公式的結果　怎麼選

不要走不要走　講都講得這樣倦
他始終都會走　別苦戀
請珍惜這輩子　十分短

十年前的我。。。

2008-09-21T10:55:00.004+08:00

十年前，我做了一件愚蠢的事。那就是写了一封信给一位男生。我的目的只是交个朋友，没其他用意。那时还是青春期，难勉会做那么笨的事。我害他被其它朋友取笑。真是对不起！！事情已过了那么久，我们就不能放下吗？？我很歉悔以前所做的事。你害怕我喜欢你所以你避开我。我已经没有在想感情问题。对于我来说，人与人之间的关系是我最差劲和害怕面对。我不想再有第二次的伤害。情人在我心里已慢慢淡化，不想再有念头。朋友其实和情人也一样，需要信任和责任。或许我对你太过OVER, 所以你避开我。我会改过我对你的态度。相信我，我一定能做到。我感受到每当我们出去和一大班朋友gathering, 你会刻意避开我和其它朋友谈天。还记得你要我原谅你中学对我的伤害，我一口就答应原谅你。如果我还气你至现在，那我是一位很笨的人。我们不要把怨恨放在心上，只会令自己伤心难过。我们认识也有十年了。过去就让它过去。如果你还是怪我，我无话好说。在此，我只会对你说“你放心，我们只会做一辈子的朋友。没其它关系。变成陌生人是不好受的。 You are one of my fren who i can speak with. 我们两可以成为朋友，那是缘分。我们要惜缘。希望你明白我的用心。最后，我希望你能读到这blog.

About my Future..haiz..Duno where is it and How is it?

2008-09-16T16:39:00.011+08:00

About future..I still thinking in my mind. After my graduation on 24th of aug 2008, I still blank in my mind.. I still thinking the past. I missed my uni life..I dun wan the time stop at here. Thinking four years bac in kl, I reali learnt alots from my frens and family. After all getting the degree, everyone try to find a good job or further study. Where am I? What ami doing? My parents didnt force me to make decision for my future.. This is my life.. I always think a better way to pass through it. What is my dream and ambition? Everytime went for interview, the interviewer sure asked me wats my ambition and achievement? I reali no idea to answer them. Why I choose Biotech course to study? Mayb I was influenced by my secondary school teacher. Her background from Biotechnology.And I thought biotechnology similar to biology. Iam going to enter this course. I didnt say i regret to choose tis course. I quite like it. But i jus feel that i left something behind. I still not enough to use in my life. I still want to gain more knowledge from uni. I still remember the decision I made for UTAR. hehe.. I struggle for a long time. I chose UTAr becoz i didnt get into matrix in public uni that time. But after few months, I got offer from matrix that i can enter public uni for the foundation in labuan. After a few discussions with my frens, teachers, and family, I decided choose to study at UTAR. Some may think I'm crazy. Coz UTAR so expensive y u choose it as compared to public uni. Somemore i can easily understand the lecturer's teaching and i started to familiar with the environment. I quite "degil" sometimes. Once i starting to familiar with tat place, i wont move away. End up, I studied there for 4 years.haha.. Besides learnt new knowledge. I learnt human attitude..haha.. I learnt to accept people opinion. Before i came to kl, I dun like people ejek me..haha.. I'm easily get mad and cry.. Girl mah.. easy to get hurt and cry. After I familiar the people at kl, I started to control my emotional and attitude. Iam trying to accept people opinion. Sometimes mayb too stress in homework, i will starting to yell at people. I may said some bad words to my frens. Very sorry about my attitude. Hope u all can forgive me.. :(. I will remember this " If you wan people to accept and together with you, you must learn how to treat people. hehe..This was my end.. See ya.Continue next time.. huh.sienz again.. I will always remember 24th of aug 2008.. Take care all of my frens.. Good luck for ur guys future.. Hope I will have good future too..:P

林峰 - 爱不疚 (溏心風暴之家好月圓插曲)

2008-09-15T12:02:00.002+08:00

收藏在眼眸　
常徘徊左右　
愛猜到沒有　
愉快玩笑後　
能全然退後
你開心就夠這種感覺太親厚　
講一千句也不夠　
假使講了你聽到後　
或會走　
這種戀愛太罕有
不須真正擁有　
成全　衷心祝福然後　
就放手

放手　放開所有　
彼此更自由　
放手其實我絕非愛得不夠　
放手豁出所有　
還有這個好友　
已經已經足夠

遙遠是宇宙　
靜靜在背後　
去看守就夠

這種感覺太親厚　
講一千句也不夠　
即使一剎有過衝動　
挽你手　
這種戀愛太罕有　
不須真正擁有　
成全　多捨不得仍然　
是放手

放手　放開所有　
彼此更自由　
放手　其實我絕非愛得不夠　
放手　豁出所有　
還有這個好友　
已經已經足夠

放手　我的牽掛　
找不到盡頭　
放手　期望你幸福甚麼都有也許
愛很深厚　
然而我早看得透　
放手至可擁有

愛一個人不要超過八分

> > 愛一個人不要超過八分
> > > > > > 你發覺到了嗎﹖
> > > > 愛的感覺，總是在一開始覺得很甜蜜，
> > > > 總覺得多一個人陪，多一個人幫你分擔，
> > > > 你終於不再孤單了，至少有一個人想著你戀著你，
> > > > 不論做什麼事情，只要能一起就是好的，
> > > > 但是慢慢的，隨著彼此的認識愈深。
> > > > 你開始發現了對方的缺點，於是問題一個接著一個發生，
> > > > 你開始煩和累，甚至想要逃避，
> > > > 有人說愛情就像在撿石頭，總想撿到一個適合自己的。
> > > > 但是你又如何知道什麼時候能夠撿到呢？
> > > > 她適合你，那你又適合她？
> > > > 其實愛情就像磨石子一樣，
> > > > 或許剛撿到的時候，你不是那麼的滿意，
> > > > 但是記住人是有彈性的，很多事情是可以改變的，
> > > > 只要你有心﹑有勇氣，與其到處去撿未知的石頭，
> > > > 還不如好好的將自己已經擁有的石頭磨亮磨，你開始磨了嗎﹖
> > > > 很多人以為是因為感情淡了，所以人才會變得懶惰。
> > > > 錯！
> > > > 其實是人先被惰性征服，所以感情才會變淡的。
> > > > 在某個聚餐的場合﹐
> > > > 有人提議多吃點蝦子對身體好，
> > > > 這時候有個中年男人忽然說：
> > > > 「十年前﹐當我老婆還是我的女朋友的時候，
> > > > 她說要吃十隻蝦，我就剝二十隻給她，
> > > > 現在，如果她要我幫她剝蝦殼，開玩笑，
> > > > 我連幫她脫衣服都沒興趣了，還剝蝦殼咧！」
> > > > 聽到了嗎？明白了嗎？
> > > > 難怪越來越多人只想要談一輩子的戀愛，
> > > > 卻遲遲不肯走入婚姻，
> > > > 因為，婚姻容易讓人變得懶惰。
> > > > 如果每個人都懶得講話﹑懶得傾聽﹑
> > > > 懶得製造驚喜﹑懶得溫柔體貼，那麼夫妻或是情人之間，
> > > > 又怎麼會不漸行漸遠漸無聲呢？
> > > > 所以請記住﹕有活力的愛情，
> > > > 是需要適度殷勤灌溉的，談戀愛，更是不可以偷懶的喔！
> > > > 有一對情侶，相約下班後去用餐﹑逛街，
> > > > 可是女孩因為公司會議而延誤了，
> > > > 當她冒著雨趕到的時候已經遲到了30多分鐘，
> > > > 他的男朋友很不高興的說：
> > > > 「妳每次都這樣，現在我甚麼心情也沒了，
> > > > 我以後再也不會等妳了。」
> > > > 剎那間，女孩終於決堤崩潰了，
> > > > 她心裡在想：或許他們再也沒有未來了。
> > > > 同樣的在同一個地點，另一對情侶也面臨同樣的處境，
> > > > 女孩趕到的時候也遲到了半個鐘頭，
> > > > 他的男朋友說：「我想妳一定忙壞了吧！」
> > > > 接著他為女孩拭去臉上的雨水，並且脫去外套蓋在女孩身上，
> > > > 此刻女孩流淚了，但是流過她臉頰的淚卻是溫馨的。
> > > > 其實愛恨往往只是在我們的一念之間，
> > > > 愛不僅要懂得寬容更要及時，
> > > > 很多事可能只是在於你心境的轉變罷了。
> > > > 懂了嗎﹖
> > > > 當有個人愛上你，而你也覺得他不錯，
> > > > 那並不代表你會選擇他。
> > > > 我們總說：「我要找一個你很愛很愛的人，你才會談戀愛。」
> > > > 但是當對方問你，怎樣才算是很愛很愛的時候，
> > > > 你卻無法回答他，因為你自己也不知道。
> > > > 沒錯我們總是以為，我們會找到一個自己很愛很愛的人，
> > > > 可是後來，當我們猛然回首，
> > > > 我們才會發覺自己曾經多麼天真。
> > > > 假如從來沒有開始，
> > > > 你怎麼知道自己會不會很愛很愛那個人呢？
> > > > 其實很愛很愛的感覺，
> > > > 是要在一起經歷了許多事情之後才會發現的。
> > > > 或許每個人都希望能夠找到自己心目中百分之百的伴侶，
> > > > 但是你有沒有想過：
> > > > 『在你身邊會不會早已經有人默默對你付出很久了，
> > > > 只是你沒發覺而已呢？』
> > > > 所以還是仔細看看身邊的人吧！
> > > > 他或許已經等你很久嘍！
> > > > 有人說，喝酒的時候，
> > > > 六分醉的微醺感是最舒服的。
> > > > 得到鬆弛，眼中看到的一切都是可愛的，
> > > > 如果你還繼續喝，很可能隔天你會頭疼欲裂，全身不舒服，
> > > > 完全喪失了喝酒的樂趣。
> > > > 吃飯的時候，七分飽的滿足感是最舒服的，
> > > > 口中還留著食物的香味，再加上飯後甜點﹑水果，
> > > > 保持身材和身體健康絕對足夠。
> > > > 如果你還繼續吃，很可能會腸胃不適﹑吃太飽想睡覺，
> > > > 完全喪失了吃飯的樂趣。

> > > > 所有的期待和希望都只有七八分，
