Alien?!

是否曾经想过，我们也是外星人？
我们口口声声说:“那个外星人好丑哦，外星人是住在其他星球的！”
但,在外星人的眼里，我们也是好丑哦，我们也是住在其他星球的！
为什么我们总是责怪外星人突袭我们的地球？甚至要抓他们？
换个角度来看，我们也不是一样入侵他们的星球吗？

不觉得很神奇吗？
上帝创造人类，也创造了ALIEN。
上帝赐下完美，也赐下不完美。
因为人类在过于享受完美的过程中，
总是忘了追求长进。
每件事情都会有正面与负面，
但从另一个角度观看一样事情，是会有不同的结果的！^^

Say Hello to final year!

Thank God!
After all the efforts, finally His determination allows me to step into my final year.
Well, eventhough there were ups and downs that deeply influenced my studies,
with Him, I finally went through all these smoothly.
Lots of thanks to my AP lecturer who allows me to have another chance,
which helps me in the 4th year studies.
Also, thanks to my parents who keep supporting me during this period of time,
and those friends who were in Adelaide, who were there to help me when i needed them.
Thanks to those who were in Malaysia who gave me support as well.

Recently just started to get myself into the busy life.
Eventhough again I clearly seen the nature of human beings when everyone was stressful,
I hope I can overcome all these smoothly with Him.
Be strong, Yvonne!

WIND BENEATH MY WING - Bette Midler

Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings~

故事未完成 (杨培安 刘虹翎)

只要再給我多一點時間
希望能給你全部的世界
我無法改變 錯過的一切
只能讓思念如夢般分手
只要再給我多一點時間
想為你完成所有的誓言
太多的夢想 太多的諾言
等待每夜慢慢實現
讓所有圓束在你我隔中間
讓我為你繼續未完的情結
就算妳在天邊 就算你在地面
兩顆真心像風箏連着一條線
願所有快樂在你之間蔓延
讓我感覺妳最幸福的笑臉
雖然妳在天邊 雖然你在地面
我們的愛要相約到永遠

Part of my study life

I'm so tired now.. still blogging with my almost-closed eyes..
Working in a restaurant is an easy task though.
Somehow I realized that I'm not a multi-tasking person.
And I found that I'm actually very lucky enough.
The first training that I had at J.O.Y Pharmacy in Kuching, was awesome!
It was not requested by my own but by other.
For a girl who never worked before, I felt that I'm so lucky to met such a good pharmacist as my boss.
And therefore, the first job that I had, wasn't stressful or pressurized by the boss.
The best thing was, he taught me loads of knowledge besides medications such as pharmacy management, religious thoughts, studying skills, IQs, right brain functions, etc..
Eventhough it was an unpaid training, yet I really learnt a lot which make my personal thoughts more positive as well.

Other than that, the first paid work, which is my first job as well, wasn't get by my own as well.
Through the recommendations of my housemate, I got this pretty good job as a waitress in a food court.
Again, I met a good boss, who treats all of us good enough.
The colleagues there were also very friendly and we used to share our experiences of living in Adelaide. Some of the colleagues were recommended to the boss by my neighbours as well..
Different colleagues from different countries, we see them as one.
The thing that I like most from this job wasn't the pay, but it helps me to practise my english speaking!!!!
Seriously I love the interactions with the locals and visitors from other countries as well, and the communications with them.
Eventhough I'm not a good multi-tasking person, I think i can still handle a small stall well.
Greeting the customers, listen to them, filling the dishes, collecting money, packing the take-away boxes, interact with the chef, counting the amount, attending the awaiting customers, fill up the drinks in the fridge..
At least I'm still good in these..

Well, I just had a trial at a Thai Cafe.
It was a small cafe as well, but.. it was so busy!!!
I need to memorise their 50++ dishes with the prices and all the ingredients in it.. and I did it!
However, I can memorise all of them doesn't mean that I can practise them!
After observing for 2 hours, I learnt a lot as well..
The manager said that my wine pouring skill was so un-professional!!
Alright, thanks for that. At least now I know how does the professional way of pouring wine would be.
And thanks for the trial, eventhough I quitted at the end.
I had learnt how to clean up a table, how to set up a table, how to open a wine bottle, and the basic ways of attending the customers.. and the best thing was, I learnt how to carry so many plates at a time on one arm!!!
It's not easy though.
After wine or drinks, wait for their orders for entree and main courses,
and some of their orders are not served all at once, additional work to let the chefs know about them, and desserts which are served at different time as well..
running in and out in a small cafe with so small space for walking, halfway attending the customers, halfway clearing up the tables, taking orders at the same time, bringing drinks to serve them as well..
nah.. I give up finally..

Back to my study..
Stop making my life so hard..
Anyway, these allow me to know that I still have so much things to learn.
Without this experience, I guess I wouldn't know how difficult is a job as a waitress in a restaurant.

Lastly,
thank God for all these happening in part of my study life.
No experiences, no gain.
:p

Bye 2008; Welcome 2009!

The last day of year 2008, few more hours to go.
Time to say bye bye to 2008.
It's a special and adventurous year for me.
First time having a study life in western country,
and I admit that there were lots of trials this year.
And lots of thanks for those who walked with me and supported me throughout the journey.
Thanks bros and sisters in christ..
Most of all, thank God for all of His plans and arrangements.
Thank God for providing me a shelter before i reached Adelaide.
Thank God for the lost and found.
Thank God for the falls and growths.
Thank God for warming me up with family love when I'm away from my hometown.
Thank God for giving chances for the failures.
Yes, thank God for everything.
I truly experience the existence of God in my life when I'm here.
Thanks for the encouragement in times of giving up!!!
Thanks for being understanding during my tough times.
Pace by pace, walking into a brand new year.
Planning for the coming year,
hopefully 明年会更好!

~Welcome 2009~

Bukan Cinta Biasa

Begitu banyak cerita,
Ada suka ada duka,
Cinta yang ingin ku tulis,
Bukanlah cinta biasa

Dua keyakinan beza,
Masalah pun tak sama,
Ku tak ingin dia ragu,
Mengapa mereka slalu bertanya,

c/o
Cintaku bukan di atas kertas,
Cintaku getaran yang sama,
Tak perlu di paksa,
Tak perlu di cari,
Kerna ku yakin da jawabnya,
Andaiku bisa merubah semua,
Hingga tiada orang terluka,
Tapi tak mungkin ,
Ku tak berdaya,
Hanya yakin menunggu jawabnya....

Janji terikat setia,
Masa merubah segala,
Mungkin dia kan berlalu,
Ku tak mahu mereka tertawa,

Diriku hanya insan biasa,
Miliki naluri yang sama,
Tak ingin berpaling,
Tak ingin berganti,
Jiwa ku sering saja berkata

Andai ku mampu ulang semula,
Ku pasti tiada yang curiga
Kasih kau hadir
Tiada terduga
Hanya yakin menunggu jawapan

A song that I always hear when I was in the NS camp.
Love it so much.

CANCEROUS FOODS / PRODUCTS

INSTANT NOODLES
Dear instant noodle lovers,
Make sure you break for at least 3 days after one session of instant noodles before you eat your next packet! Please read the info shared to me by a doctor. My family stopped eating instant noodles more than 5 years ago after hearing about the wax coating the noodles - the wax is not just in the Styrofoam containers but it coats the noodles. This is why the instant noodles do not stick to each other when cooking.

If one were to examine the ordinary Chinese yellow noodles in the market, one will notice that, in their uncooked state the noodles are oily. This layer of oil prevents the noodles from sticking together.

Wanton noodles in their uncooked state have been dusted with flour to prevent them sticking together. When the hawker cooks the noodles, notice he cooks them in hot water and then rinses them in cold water before cooking them in hot water again. This process is repeated several times before the noodles are ready to be served. The cooking and rinsing process prevents noodles from sticking together.

The hawker then 'lowers the noodles in oil and sauce to prevent the noodles from sticking if they are to be served dry. Cooking instructions for spaghetti require oil or butter to be added in the water when boiling the spaghetti to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Otherwise, one gets a big clump of spaghetti!

There was an SBC (now TCS) actor some years ago, who at a busy time of his career had no time to cook, resorted to eating instant noodles everyday. He got cancer later on. His doctor told him about the wax in instant noodles. The doctor told him that our body will need up to 2 days to clear the wax. There was also an SIA steward who after moving out from his mother's house into his own house, did not cook but ate instant noodles almost every meal. He had cancer, and has since died from it.

Nowadays the instant noodles are referred as ' cancer noodles '.


SATAY LOVERS (BARBECUE)
If you all eat Satay, don't ever forget to eat the cucumber, because eating Satay together with carbon after barbequing can cause cancer.
But we have a cure for that... Cucumber should be eaten after we eat the Satay because Satay has carcinogen (a cancer causing element) but cucumber is anti-carcinogenic. So don't forget to eat the cucumber the next time you have Satay's.


PRAWNS (SUGPO) & VIT C
DO NOT eat shrimp / prawn if you have just taken VITAMIN C pills!!
This will cause you to DIE in ARSENIC (As) toxication within HOURS!!


PORK AWARENESS
Try this and see whether the pork you bought has worms. There goes with your 'Bak Kut Teh' for those who love it. Most men love to eat this so watch out before it's too late. If you pours Coke (yes, the soda) on a slab of pork, wait a little while, you will SEE WORMS crawl out of it. A message from the Health Corporation of Singapore about the bad effects of pork consumption. Pig's bodies contain MANY TOXINS, WORM and LATENT DISEASES.

Although some of these infestations are harboured in other animals, modern veterinarians say that pigs are far MORE PREDISPOSED to these illnesses than other animals. This could be because PIGS like to SCAVENGE and will eat ANY kind of food, INCLUDING dead insects, worms, rotting carcasses, excreta including their own, garbage, and other pigs. INFLUENZA (flu) is one of the MOST famous illnesses which pigs share with humans. This illness is harboured in the LUNGS of pigs during the summer months and tends to affect pigs and human in the cooler months.

Sausage contains bits of pigs' lungs, so those who EAT pork sausage tend to SUFFER MORE during EPIDEMICS of INFLUENZA. Pig meat contains EXCESSIVE quantities of HISTAMINE and IMIDAZOLE compounds, which can lead to ITCHING and INFLAMMATION; GROWTH HORMONE which PROMOTES INFLAMMATION and growth; sulphur containing mesenchymal mucus which leads to SWELLING and deposits of MUCUS in tendons and cartilage, resulting in ATHRITIS, RHEUMATISM, etc.
Sulphur helps cause FIRM human tendons and ligaments to be replaced by the pig's soft mesenchymal tissues, and degeneration of human cartilage.

Eating pork can also lead to GALLSTONES and OBESITY, probably due to its HIGH CHOLESTEROL and SATURATED FAT content. The pig is the MAIN CARRIER of the TAENIE SOLIUM WORM, which is found in its flesh. These tapeworms are found in human intestines with greater frequency in nations where pigs are eaten. This type of tapeworm can pass through the intestines and affect many other organs, and is incurable once it reaches beyond a certain stage. One in six people in the US and Canada has RICHINOSIS from eating trichina worms, which are found in pork.

Many people have NO SYMPTOMS to warm them of this, and when they do, they resemble symptoms of many other illnesses. These worms are NOT noticed during meat inspections.


SHAMPOO
Cancer-causing substance in shampoos. Go home and check your shampoo. Change before it's too late... Check the ingredients listed on your shampoo bottle, and see they have a substance by the name of Sodium Laureth Sulfate, or simply SLS. This substance is found in most shampoos; manufacturers use it because it produces a lot of foam and it is cheap. BUT the fact is, SLS is used to scrub garage floors, and it is very strong!!! It is also proven that it can cause cancer in the long run, and this is no joke. Shampoos that contains SLS: Vo5, Palmolive, Paul Mitchell, L'Oreal, the new Hemp Shampoo from Body Shop etc. contain this substance.

The first ingredient listed (which means it is the single most prevalent ingredient) in Clairol's Herbal Essences is Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Therefore, I called one company, and I told them their product contains a substance that will cause people to have cancer. They said, Yeah we knew about it but there is nothing we can do about it because we need that substance to produce foam. By the way Colgate toothpaste also contains the same substance to produce the 'bubbles'. They said they are going to send me some information.

Research has shown that in the 1980s, the chance of getting cancer is 1 out of 8000 and now, in the 1990s, the chances of getting cancer is 1 out of 3, which is very serious. Therefore, I hope that you will take this seriously and pass this on to all the people you know, and hopefully, we can stop 'giving' ourselves cancer-causing agents.
