Olympic Silver Medal 奧運銀牌
Sunday, August 17, 2008
Today is the historical day for all Malaysian. We have another silver medal for Olympic Games.
Lee Chong Wei, you are the legend, our national hero!
Although you got silver, you are still World's No. 2 best badminton player. If you do your best and do not care about the consequences, the match will be very exciting! Who knows we might have our first ever Olympic gold medal.
Thank for getting us a silver medal, it's been long time we did not see our flag raising at Olympic Games victory ceremony.
Take a rest, and win us a gold medal!
Those "horse-back-bomb", do not blame him for anything, there is a loser in every competition.
今天對馬來西亞人來說，是歷史性的一天。我們又有一面奧運銀牌了！
李宗偉，你是傳奇，我們的英雄！
雖然你只贏得銀牌，你還是世界第二。如果你豁出去，戰情肯定會更激烈！說不定我們會有第一面的奧運金牌。
謝謝你為我們爭取銀牌，很久沒有國旗在奧運競技場上飄揚了。
辛苦你了，下一屆你一定要得冠軍！
那些馬後砲，不要再事後孔明了，勝敗乃兵家常事。
Happy birthday to Seok Kooi.
琡貴，生日快樂！
Friends in Malaysia, i miss you all.
馬來西亞的朋友們，我好想念你們喔。

Are you ready? 你準備好了嗎？
Saturday, August 16, 2008
I have been planning for my Bangkok Trip.
Thank you Catherine for all the useful tips and experience sharing, Atom for lending me the Bangkok Tourist Guide book, and not to forget Ether for his recommended tourist spots while we went for snorkelling last week.
阿源都一直在籌備他的曼谷自助之旅。
非常感謝鳳儀的寶貴經驗分享，讓他受益良多，子元借的曼谷旅遊導覽書籍，還有上次去浮潛時Ether有推薦一些旅遊景點供他參考。
Booking the ticket from AirAsia, looking at the map, getting useful information from the internet, planning for destination and tourist spots, booking accommodation...
亞洲航空網路訂票，檢閱地圖，互聯網蒐集資料，策劃旅遊地點還有住宿事宜等。
Since now everyone is in the Olympic mood, i was also watching the Olympic Games in the lab during this period. I was impressed and excited when seeing my idol Badminton Men's Single Lee Chong Wei is getting into the final two. They were supporting their Chinese Taipei's team whilst i was supporting our Malaysian team especially our badminton team from the start of the games. Some are disappointed as they could not perform well during the critical moment. Anyway, competition is tough and losing can be due to many unpredictable reasons, get up and walk forward. I am proud of you, for bringing fame to Malaysia!
如今每個人都在瘋奧運，阿源也在實驗室湊熱鬧注意賽情。當阿源看到偶像李宗偉打入羽球男單最後二強，真的有莫名的感動和振奮。他們在支持中華隊，阿源就在支持大馬隊，尤其是羽球項目。有些球員的表現的確讓人失望，未能在關鍵時刻發揮潛能。無論如何，勝敗乃兵家常事，比賽中常常都有很多無可預計的狀況出現，跌倒了爬起來，再往前走。你們為國增光，阿源為你們感到驕傲！
Lee Chong Wei 李宗偉
Wong Choong Hann 黃綜翰
Sorry the pictures of other athletes are not available on 2008 Beijing Olympic Games official website.
很抱歉2008北京奧運的官方網站沒有其他運動員的照片。
Lee Chong Wei, please win us a gold medal. I will cheer for you in Taipei. Everyone in the lab will cheer for you as well.
Are you ready? I am ready to see you bringing us our first gold medal of Olympics. Remember to treat me when you received the RM1 million rewards ya...
李宗偉，請為大馬贏得第一面金牌。阿源會在台北為你歡呼。其他的實驗室同事也會支持你。
你準備好了嗎？阿源已經準備好見證你為馬來西亞奪下史上第一面奧運金牌。拿到一百萬的獎金後請客時別忘了他喔...

Longdong Snorkelling 龍洞浮潛
Sunday, August 10, 2008
Today i went for snorkelling with Mingshin and his friends at Longdong, one of the scenic sites of East Coast.
I was considered a new friend to them as there were around 30-40 people, and i knew none of them...
Ah Zong was the one who drove, and the car passeegers were Mingshin, Ether, Yi and myself. We were chit-chatting along the journey. Meeting for the first time already discussing on something deep and private, hence it is not appropriate for me to provide any hint here... Haha...
When we saw at the ocean tide, we became excited.
今天跟小勳去龍洞浮潛...
算是他們的新朋友吧, 那裡有三四十位帥哥猛男, 我都不認識...
是阿宗開車載我們去的,車上有小勳,Ether,小毅和我.
一路上我們都在聊天, 第一次見面就聊了一些很深入的話題, 真的太深入啦,這裡不便透露, 呵~
開到海水, 就整個人High起來了!
Crystal clear sea water, beautiful fishes, coral reefs and etc...
海水清澈見底, 有漂亮的魚兒, 也有海膽等的水生物...
Eventhough i have been snorkelling for few times, this is the best experience ever, probably my eyes were busy looking at something else.
每次去浮潛, 只有這次覺得最棒, 大概是眼睛都不停地再吃冰淇淋吧...
They really have good body shapes and muscles, i have to work hard to achieve that....
Someone prepared lunch for us, wide variety and delicious.
那班帥哥們, 身材都超好的, 線條也很美, 我真的太遜了, 要加油了...
中午有人發心為我們準備午餐, 還很豐富呢...
Did some shotting for myself, scenery, man hunks, and underwater world...
We will definately come again!!!
拍了一些自拍照, 風景照, 猛男的寫真, 還有海底世界...
下次還要再去啦!!!
We went to Keelung night market at night for dinner.
Atom was waiting for us and bring us around the night market and recommended some local delicacies, so we would not miss something worth trying and will not waste unnecessary money for something which is not nice.
晚上我們到基隆廟口夜市吃小吃.
我們跟Atom在基隆碰面,然後他帶路,免得我們吃了不應該吃的東西.
Frankly speaking, foods selling at the night market is quite expensive, tourist area, even more expensive than Taipei city and Nankang...
We were satisfied. Six of us went to each stall and ordered some food to share for, so everyone tried everything, ha..!
老實說廟口夜市的東西太貴了啦,台北跟南港好像有比較便宜說...
不過都很滿足,六人到每個攤子都吃一點,結果該吃的都嘗過了, 呵~
On the way back, we continued our discussion topics... Asking like a naive child. Deep secrets were revealed among us, and even digged out some bad previous bad experiences... Hmmm...
Once we knew the limits of each other, it would not be aukward for us to talk next time, we are good friends now...
回家途中, 還繼續聊, 每個人都來個好奇寶寶連環問.
秘密都被掏空啦, 還揭瘡疤咧...
不過話匣子打開了,以後也不會尷尬,我們是好朋友了...

照片在相簿喔.

8th August 2008
Friday, August 08, 2008
It was a conditional pass for my qualifying exam...meaning that i have to correct the proposal which i submited earlier. Due to time constrain and tension, most of us simply submited the written proposal before the dateline, and aiming for good presentation during the exam day. Actually presentation is more important than what you wrote, because they will not going to read your proposal, they will wait until the day you present your non-thesis proposal. They will only read on the spot when they have doubt on what you say. My flow of presentation was far more better than what is written in the proposal. I was asked to give a revised proposal in 2 weeks time.
After passing the exam, Empress was away to Berlin for two weeks. I went to Hualien with lab mates, Lugang and Taipei tour with friends. Of course i did go to lab as usual doing cloning. So till the last three days, only really sit down to work on the proposal... so bad...
By closing one eyes, quickly do the correction according to what is in my presentation slides, and submited on the last day.
Dr.Tsay has read my proposal and commented i didn't get what they mean.
The evidence of my first hypothesis was weak, even though it sounds logic. She hopes i could write a better one, but then she said it's okay. So i don't have to do anything. Passed!!! Yeah!!!
Aiya.., passed already, the rest is not important anymore... ;p
I was elected as the student representative of MCB by Jessica, since no one has been nominated. I took this as a volunteery work to ease the burden of Jessica and Linda. It is indeed an honour to have this opportunity to learn and gain this extra-curricula experience during my stay in IMB. Perhaps it will sharpen my soft skill and personality which are essential in the future working environment. Hopefully it will not cause a lot of problem for me, the most important concern is that it will not affect the progress of my labwork. Just representing MCB, not the whole TIGP, that one will give way to others.
Today is the opening ceremony of 2008 Beijing Olmypic Games...
今天是北京2008奧運開幕典禮

Party World Karaoke 錢櫃
Monday, August 04, 2008
Another karaoke singing session with members of Vegetarian Boys on Sunday afternoon. Aaron and I made mistake on the meet up venue, we went to the wrong MRT station. No wonder we felt something wrong upon arrival at the station. Luckily Vic taught us how to take bus from a nearby bus stop, so we don't have to walk for long under this very hot weather. It was greatly appreciated.
星期天跟素男家人到錢櫃K歌。
跟小天約錯地點啦，難怪到捷運站時我們都覺得怪怪的...
還好後來小天跟米克確認，他再教我們如何搭公車，才不必走那麼遠，感恩。
Get to know some new friends, and interacting with some old friends.
有認識新朋友，也有很久不見的朋友。
Aaron, our leader for previous singing competition, he performed well.
CH sang gracefully.
Most of the songs chosen by Bao were familiar to me, looked like we've live in the same age.
Evan sang "Big Belly", no worries, i have smally belly too...>.<
Vic is a good singer, when he sang "Actually i am very beautiful, it just that i am not noticeable, i want a companion..." we all laugh like mad... Haha...
Alvin's voice was powerful and strong.
Lawrence can performed Terry Lin's songs very well.
CY knew how to sing a Cantonese song too.
Some songs i couldn't sing well, not up to the pitch, should adjust the key next time...
I duet with Aaron, Alvin, Evan, CH and CY!
小天果真是我們素男星光一班的班長,表現很好
阿武也很會唱歌嘛
寶哥選的歌我都會唱,看來我跟你活過相同的年代
Evan唱大肚腩,放心我也有小肚腩
米克飆歌..唱到"其實我很美，只是沒有人發現，我想要有人陪..."時，大家都笑死了..
小裕唱歌中氣十足...
Lawrence唱林志炫的個很好聽...
蒼月會唱廣東歌耶...
我有幾首歌還是沒辦法唱好，拉不上去... 下次要記得調key。
這次有跟小天、小裕、Evan、小朋友阿武和蒼月合唱！
First time ever we sang for so hours, more than 7 hours! But it's satisfying! Ha!
Thank you for the Party World Membership Card, Citibank Credit Card and student ID cards...for the good bargain and valueable spending.
第一次唱那麼久，超過7小時，很過癮嘿！
謝謝大家的吻賺卡、花旗卡和學生證才會那麼好康。

Sports play and fireworks
Saturday, August 02, 2008
I went for ball games with Bao and CH at Wanfang High School. Bao is teaching in the school. It's been n years ago i didn't play any ball games. We sweated a lot under the sun. This is my first time playing tennis in a high school, my school didn't have any tennis court.
早上跟寶哥和阿武到萬芳高中打球很久沒打球了，太陽很猛烈，汗流浹背。
這是我第一次到學校打網球，以前學校都沒有網球場。
We were playing tennis and badminton.
我們打網球和羽球。
Wanfang High School 萬芳高中
They were playing. 他們在對打。
Hey, where's the ball? 咦,球呢?
This net is too big, even the tennis ball can pass through. This should be a volleyball net... Haha...
網怎麼那麼大，連球都可以穿過，這是排球網吧... 哈哈...

Taipei Dadaocheng Fireworks Festival 台北大稻埕煙火節
The fireworks will be released from the Zhong-Xiao Bridge along the Danshui River. Many cameras were standing by there.
煙火將會沿著談水河在忠孝橋上燃放，很多相機已經準備好了。
Many people are waiting since day time. 天還沒暗就人潮洶湧了。
The stage for performance. 表演舞臺。
This annual event is specially organised for those talented handicapped people to show their talent to the public. Some of them were deaf, but can play and dance well on the stage, some of them were blind but can sing well too. They have never give up their life even though they were born like that, so why should we? There were more than 400 thousand people watching the fireworks show.
這個年度的煙火秀是特別為那些有表演天分的身心殘障人士所主辦的。耳朵聽不到，卻可以表演拉扯鈴、跳舞；瞎子也很會唱歌。他們都熱愛生命殘而不廢，所以我們也不要隨便放棄自己！當晚觀煙火的人有超過40萬個人。
My new camera has run out of battery, so i used my Nokia 3230 to snap the pictures of fireworks. Still okay lah...
由於照相機沒電了，只好用手機拍煙火。還可以吧...
After the 30 minutes long fireworks show, Fan Van performed on the stage. People started to leave after the performance.
三十分鐘的煙火秀完後，輪到范逸臣在台上表演。演唱幾首歌後大家也陸續離開了。
