Dedicated to you...
Just Once
James Ingram
I did my best
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are back where we were before
Seems nothing ever changes
We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we oughta stay
Or head on out the door
Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
Why we never last for very long
What are we doing wrong
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right
Make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it
I gave my all
But I think my all may have been too much
'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere
Seems we're always blowing whatever we got going
And seems at times with all we've got
We haven't got a prayer
Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
Why the goodtimes never last for very long
Seems we're always blowing
Whatever we got going
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right
Make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it
Just once I want to understand
Why it always come back to good-bye
Why can't we get ourselves in hand
And admit to one another
That we're no good with out the other
Take the best and make it better
Find a way to stay together
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right
Make the magic last for more than just one night
I know we can break through it
If we could just get to it
Just once
If we could get to it
Just Once...

4周年快乐
10月2日，是我跟君正式决定交往的日子。。。
一转眼，4年就这样过去了。。。而我，却有3年不在她身边。。。虽然开始的时候我也没有时常抽空和她粘在一起。。。
我必须承认，我很少给过她一个女生想到的安全感。。。她不能寄托我在她身边保护她，给她安慰。。。
回忆着过去4年的点滴，我在想，如果我是她，是不是早就离开？
很多时候，我被动得让自己都觉得可怕。。。不知道为什么，我就是没有什么创意去哄她开心。。。
她的要求其实不高，只是，我连那基本程度也不及格。。。
我对日期的记忆，是有毛病的。。。但是，10月2日，是我们诞生的日子，我不会忘记。。。
君，我希望可以给你永远的幸福。。。请你多忍受一下我不在你身边的日子。。。我知道我有点呆，也不是很有创意。。。但是我要公告天下，我要娶你的。。。

An open letter to the PM

By Datuk Zaid Ibrahim
29 September 2008
YAB Dato' Seri Abdullah Badawi
Prime Minister of Malaysia
5th Floor, East Wing
Perdana Putra Building
Putrajaya, Malaysia
Dear Mr Prime Minister,
In our proclamation of independence, our first prime minister gave voice to the lofty aspirations and dreams of the people of Malaya: that Malaya was founded on the principles of liberty and justice, and the promise that collectively we would always strive to improve the welfare and happiness of its people.
Many years have passed since that momentous occasion, and those aspirations and dreams remain true and are as relevant to us today as they were then. This was made possible by a strong grasp of fundamentals in the early period of this nation. The Federal Constitution and the laws made pursuant to it were well founded; they embodied the key elements of a democracy built on the Rule of Law. The Malaysian judiciary once commanded great respect from Malaysians and was hailed as a beacon for other nations. Our earlier prime ministers, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Razak and Tun Hussein Onn were truly leaders of integrity, patriots in their own right, and most importantly, men of humility. They believed in and built this nation on the principles and values enunciated in our Constitution.
Even when they had to enact the Internal Security Act (ISA) in 1960, they were very cautious and apologetic about it. Tunku stated clearly that the Act was passed to deal with the communist threat. "My cabinet colleagues and I gave a solemn promise to Parliament and the nation that the immense powers given to the government under the ISA would never be used to stifle legitimate opposition and silence lawful dissent", was what the Tunku said. Our third prime minister Tun Hussein Onn reinforced this position by saying that the ISA was not intended to repress lawful political opposition and democratic activity on the part of the citizenry.
The events of the last three weeks have compelled me to review the way in which the ISA has been used. This exercise has sadly led me to the conclusion that the government has time and time again failed the people of this country in repeatedly reneging on that solemn promise made by Tunku Abdul Rahman. This has been made possible because the government and the law have mistakenly allowed the Minister of Home Affairs to detain anyone for whatever reason he thinks fit. This subjective discretion has been abused to further certain political interests.
History is the great teacher and speaks volumes in this regard. Even a cursory examination of the manner in which the ISA has been used almost from its inception would reveal the extent to which its intended purpose has been subjugated to the politics of the day.
Regrettably, Tunku Abdul Rahman himself reneged on his promise. In 1965, his administration detained Burhanuddin Helmi, the truly towering Malay intellectual, a nationalist who happened to be a PAS leader. He was kept in detention until his death in 1969. Helmi was a political opponent and could by no stretch of the imagination be considered to have been involved in the armed rebellion or communism that the ISA was designed to deal with. This detention was an aberration, a regrettable moment where politics was permitted to trump the rule of law. It unfortunately appears to have set a precedent, and many detentions of persons viewed as having been threatening to the incumbent administration followed through the years. Even our literary giant, the late Sasterawan Negara Tan Sri A Samad Ismail was subjected to the ISA in 1976. How could he have been a threat to national security?
I need not remind you of the terrible impact of the 1987 Operasi Lalang. Its spectre haunts the government as much as it does the peace-loving people of this nation, casting a gloom over all of us. There were and still are many unanswered questions about those dark hours when more than a hundred persons were detained for purportedly being threats to national security. Why they were detained has never been made clear to Malaysians. Similarly, no explanation has been forthcoming as to why they were never charged in court. Those detainees included amongst their numbers senior opposition members of parliament who are still active in Parliament today. The only thing that is certain about that period was that Umno was facing a leadership crisis. Isn't it coincidental that the recent spate of ISA arrests has occurred when Umno is again having a leadership crisis?
In 2001, Keadilan reformasi activists were detained in an exercise that the Federal Court declared was in bad faith and unlawful. The continued detention of those that were not released earlier from the Kamunting detention facility was made possible only by the fact that the ISA had been questionably amended in 1988 to preclude judicial review of the minister's order to detain. Malaysians were told that these detainees had been attempting to overthrow the government via militant means and violent demonstrations. Seven years have gone and yet no evidence in support of this assertion has been presented. Compounding the confusion even further, one of these so-called militants, Ezam Mohamad Noor, recently rejoined Umno to great fanfare, as a prized catch, it would seem.
At around the same time, members of PAS were also detained for purportedly being militant and allegedly having links to international terrorist networks. Those detained included Nik Adli, the son of Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, the Menteri Besar of Kelantan. Malaysians were made a promise by the government that evidence of the alleged terrorist activities and links of these detainees would be disclosed. To date no such evidence has been produced.
The same formula was used in late 2007 when the Hindraf five were detained. Malaysians were told once again that these individuals were involved in efforts to overthrow the government and had links with the militant Liberation Tiger of Tamil Eelam of Sri Lanka. To date no concrete evidence has been presented to support this assertion. It would seem therefore that the five were detained for their involvement in efforts that led to a mobilisation of Indian Malaysians to express, through peaceful means, their frustration against the way in which their community had been allowed to be marginalised. This cause has since been recognised as a legitimate one. The Hindraf demonstration is nothing extraordinary as such assemblies are universally recognised as being a legitimate means of expression.
In the same vein, the grounds advanced in support of the most recent detentions of Tan Hoon Cheng, Teresa Kok and Raja Petra Kamarudin leave much to be desired. The explanation that Tan Hoon Cheng was detained for her own safety was farcical. The suggestion that Teresa Kok had been inciting religious sentiments was unfounded as was evinced by her subsequent release.
As for Raja Petra Kamarudin, a prominent critic of the government, a perusal of his writings would show that he might have been insulting of the government and certain individuals within it. However, being critical and insulting could not in any way amount to a threat to national security. If his writings are viewed as being insulting of Islam, Muslims or the Holy Prophet (pbuh), he should instead be charged under the Penal Code and not under the ISA. In any event, he had already been charged for sedition and criminal defamation in respect of some of his statements. He had claimed trial, indicating as such his readiness and ability to defend himself. Justice would best be served by allowing him his day in court more so where, in the minds of the public, the government is in a position of conflict for having been the target of his strident criticism.
The instances cited above strongly suggest that the government is undemocratic. It is this perspective that has over the last 25-plus years led to the government seemingly detaining arbitrarily political opponents, civil society and consumer advocates, writers, businessmen, students and journalists whose crime, if it could be called that, was to have been critical of the government. How it is these individuals can be perceived as being threats to national security is beyond my comprehension. The self-evident reality is that legitimate dissent was and is quashed through the heavy-handed use of the ISA.
There are those who support and advocate this carte-blanche reading of the ISA. They will seek to persuade you that the interests of the country demand that such power be retained, that Malaysians owe their peace and stability to laws such as the ISA. This overlooks the simple truth that Malaysians of all races cherish peace. We lived together harmoniously for the last 400 years, not because of these laws but in spite of them.
I believe the people of this country are mature and intelligent enough to distinguish actions that constitute a "real" threat to the country from those that threaten political interests. Malaysians have come to know that the ISA is used against political opponents and, it would seem, when the leadership is under challenge either from within the ruling party or from external elements.
Malaysians today want to see a government that is committed to the court process to determine guilt or innocence even for alleged acts of incitement of racial or religious sentiment. They are less willing to believe, as they once did, that a single individual, namely the Minister of Home Affairs, knows best about matters of national security. They value freedom and the protection of civil liberties and this is true of people of other nations too.
Mr Prime Minister, the results of the last general election are clear indication that the people of Malaysia are demanding a reinstatement of the rule of law. I was appointed as your, albeit short-lived, minister in charge of legal affairs and judicial reform. In that capacity, I came to understand more keenly how many of us want reform, not for the sake of it, but for the extent to which our institutions have been undermined by events and the impact this has had on society.
With your blessing, I attempted to push for reform. High on my list of priorities was a reinstatement of the inherent right of judicial review that could be enabled through a reversion of the key constitutional provision to its form prior to the controversial amendment in 1988. I need not remind you that that constitutional amendment was prompted by the same series of events that led not only to Operasi Lalang but the sacking of the then Lord President and two supreme court justices. Chief amongst my concerns was the way in which the jurisdiction and the power of the courts to grant remedy against unconstitutional and arbitrary action of the executive had been removed by Parliament and the extent to which this had permitted an erosion of the civil liberties of Malaysians. It was this constitutional amendment that paved the way for the ouster provision in the ISA that virtually immunises the minister from judicial review, a provision which exemplifies the injustice the constitutional amendment of 1988 has lent itself.
I also sought to introduce means by which steps could be taken to assist the judiciary to regain the reputation for independence and competence it once had. Unfortunately, this was viewed as undesirable by some since an independent judiciary would mean that the executive would be less "influential".
I attempted to do these things and more because of the realisation that Malaysia's democratic traditions and the rule of law are under siege. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with giving everyone an independent judiciary and the opportunity to a fair trial. This is consistent with the universal norms of human rights as it is with the tenets of Islam, the religion of the Federation. Unchecked power to detain at the whim of one man is oppressiveness at its highest. Even in Israel, a nation that is perpetually at war, the power to detain is not vested in one man and detention orders require endorsement from a judge.
If there are national security considerations, then these can be approached without jettisoning the safeguards intended to protect individual citizens from being penalised wrongfully. In other jurisdictions involved in armed conflicts, trials are held in camera to allow for judicial scrutiny of evidence considered too sensitive for public disclosure so as to satisfy the ends of justice. If this can be done in these jurisdictions, why not here where the last armed struggle we saw, the very one that precipitated the need for the ISA, came to an end in the 1980s? Any doubts as to the continued relevance of the ISA in its present form should have been put to rest by the recommendation by the National Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) that the ISA be repealed and an anti-terror legislation suited to the times enacted in its place. Containing as it did a sunset clause in its original times, the ISA was never intended to be a permanent feature of the Malaysian legal landscape.
Through its continued use in the manner described above and in the face of public sentiment, it is only natural that the ISA has become in the mind of the people an instrument of oppression and the government is one that lends itself to oppressiveness. Its continued use does not bode well for a society that is struggling to find its place in the global arena. It does not bode well for the democracy that is so vital for us to develop sustainably.
Mr Prime Minister, I remember very clearly what you once said: that if one has the opportunity to do what is good and right for the country, then he must take on the task. I respect you deeply for that, and if I were confident that I would have been able to do some good for Malaysia, I would have remained on your team. Sir, you are still the prime minister and you still have the opportunity to leave your footprint in Malaysian history. I urge you to do so by repealing the ISA once and for all.
Let us attempt to fulfil that solemn promise made by our beloved first prime minister to the people of this country.
Yours sincerely,
ZAID IBRAHIM

新laptop。。。中间是bluetooth headset。。。可以听立体声，也可以用来讲skype。。。有mic在上面。。。右边是附带的红外线remote control。。。可以翘脚，control音乐，或是dvd。。。如果有tv tuner的话，基本上就是一台电视。。。很棒吧，是不是？
左边是有线的耳机。。。10块美金，因为要mark up到USD1400才能有500块coupon。。。不过音效是不错啦。。。就算多一个耳机咯。。。

发自内心的笑。。。
终于看到自己的照片被发表在报纸上。。。哈哈！
感谢老弟scan了这一页的报纸。。。我把它缩小了，不知道大家有没有看到，哪一张是我拍的照片呢？
嗯。。。D40已经不是很够用了。。。像电脑一样，需要花一点本钱来玩玩。。。或许在下一次颓丧的时候，买新相机来冲喜冲喜。。。
啊，学科学的人怎么那么迷信啊？嗯。。。其实也不然。。。人毕竟是人。。。有时候，这也是一种心理治疗吧。。。人们在无助的时候，寄托神，寄托上帝，在内心中得到安慰，也不常是件好事。。。（君却不苟同这样的说法，她把我的诠释称做宗教，而不是信仰。。。也就是像我这样的人，把信仰‘表面化‘，所以叫宗教。。。）
无论如何，虽然我学科学，但从来不否认迷信的意义。。。自己可以不迷，但却不否定别人信。。。所以，我很不喜欢一些传教个人或团体，用一种诋毁或藐视的方式，去凸现自己宗教信仰的地位。。。这只能显得出他们的无知。。。
哦，撤太远了。。。还得赶快工作呢。。。

New Laptop... New Paper... Preliminary Exam...
或许人的霉气需要找一些什么东西来冲喜冲喜。。。
虽然这几个星期试验进展缓慢，但是也不至于什么头绪也没有。。。反而是自己没有时间去做新的实验和尝试。。。
在观望了几个星期后，决定买下新laptop。。。比预期收到还快。。。两天的测试基本上没有问题。。。只是要花时间去了解新电脑的一些功能。。。测试了我的bluetooth耳机，能够轻而易举和电脑连接上，打skype或msn聊天可以更快速连接耳机，还能用来听歌。。。这一物二用的东西很值得。。。跟bluetooth电脑和在一起用，真是爽级了。。。
高清晰LCD monitor（1680x1260 resolution)，是15.4''机种里面最高素的了，我想。。。用它来做photoshop，简直就是专业的配备了（嗯，接下来就是瞄准相机了。。。hehe)。。。还没有用它来看dvd，也还没有直接联接去HD TV。。。听说用它来看电视或电影，照片或娱乐，可以尽情享受。。。2.4G Hz Duo-Core Processor，想必也能够用上好几年了。。。
今天更收到了IOP寄来的paper draft。。。看到自己的大名，真的很兴奋（虽然别人也不会懂我是谁）。。。做研究本来就是要有这种满足感才值得，不然还不如去做工赚大钱更有人生意义。。。下一张paper正如火如荼的展开，还在拼命呢，连一个锥形都还没有出现。。。希望很快会有好结果。。。把title放上来，爽一下。。。
15页的proposal可以在一星期里面完成，其实自己还是挺满意的。。。内容基本上是足够的，不管英文是不是被批评到不行。。。还有presentation还没有准备呢。。。必须赶快加以完成。。。我也不想临时抱佛脚，而且也没有办法last minute。。。有充分的准备，还是最好的。。。
这几天好像变得很多消息。。。像吹泡泡一样，不断出现，却很快消失在忙碌的生活里头。。。不久后，新电脑就不是新的了。。。第一张paper发表了，也会很快沉寂在满堆科学文献里面。。。而prelim，其实也只是程序，然后进入学习的另一个阶段。。。
能不断有大大小小的新事物，其实感觉也还挺不错的。。。有东西忙，有东西玩，人生也就是这样过的吧。。。
要赶功课了。。。加油。。。

办公室的电脑挡机！
是太久没有清理电脑里面的垃圾了。。。
办公室的电脑本来就不是很快。。。且有我许多研究上需要用到的软件。。。加杂在一起，就像乌龟爬一样的慢。。。
哦，请不要说“不怕慢，只怕站”。。对电脑而言，却刚刚相反，“不怕站，只怕慢”。。。哈！
电脑的设置必须从新安装。。。刚才还碰到了一些技术问题，还重复搞了两次。。。我的天。。。
但是，忘了把我的address book抄了出来，MSN的emotion icon也全都不见了。。。好不容易跟君收集起
来的。。。
format了的电脑，感觉就是比较干净，清新。。。其实，这跟人一样。。。久不久就必须要去更新一下自己，哪怕是
出去吹吹风，放一个大假，或是把从前不愉快的事情忘掉。。。
已经凌晨12。40am，应该要回家了。。。

和自己赛跑的我。。。
为什么一定要跟人比较呢？我总是掉入这样的迷思里。。。
这几天，陷入在中学和大学时期的记忆里。。。不知道为什么，已经遗忘许久的记忆都死而复生。。。周遭的环境，好像《不能说的秘密》里头的情景，快速的转移到过去。。。
找了80和90年代的经典歌曲来听，找回了许多的回忆。。。
那一懵懂的少年，固执又执著的个性。。。直来直往，还经常碰壁。。。
时间，飞快的流逝在回忆里。。。
真的只想做个和自己赛跑的人。。。
曲名：和自己赛跑的人- 李宗盛
词\曲：李宗盛
亲爱的蓝迪我的弟弟
你很少赢过别人
但这一次你超越自己
虽然在你离开学校的时候
所有的人都认为你不会有出息
你却没有因此怨天尤人自暴自弃
我知道你不在意
因为许多不切实际的鼓励
大都是来自酒肉朋友或者远方亲戚
人有时候需要一点点刺激
最常见的就是你的女友离你而去
人有时候需要一点点打击
你我都曾经不只一次的留级
在那时侯我们身边都有一卡车的难题
不知道成功的意义就在超越自己
我们都是和自己赛跑的人
为了更好的未来拼命努力
争取一种意义非凡的胜利
为了更好的明天拼命努力
前方没有终点
我们永不停息

全世界只有你不懂我爱你。。。
突然想起了李玟的这首歌《暗示》。。。只记得这一句“全世界只有你不懂我爱你”。。。其实，一首歌的成功，不就是有能让人记住的点吗？
突然，觉得很寂寞。。。深夜听着这首歌，有回到大学时期，一面赶功课，一面听933的画面。。。啊。。。那是一样的心情，但现在却在世界的另一的空间里。。。好久，没有一面听歌到入睡的感觉了。。。
脑海中突然浮现了好多画面。。。夜深人静，悠悠的情歌，933弦歌寄意，主持人念出的寄语。。。这样的感觉和心情，是中学和大学时的情景。。。
还记得，在考SPM的前几个月，我都是凌晨3点爬起床念书。。。有时候也会开着933。。。也像现在一样。。。真的很久很久很久，没有在家的感觉了。。。
Houghton. MI。。凌晨深夜。。。在读资料做功课，一面听着歌。。。
《暗示》歌手：李玟
词：姚谦 曲：吴旭文
听见星星叹息 用寂寞的语气
告诉不眠的云 是否放弃仍也追寻风的动静
心事不停累积 变成脸颊的泪滴
你始终没留意 我特别在乎你
你却像风一样 左顾右盼而行
全世界只有你不懂我爱你 我给的不只是好朋友而已
每个欲言又止浅浅笑容里 难道你没发现我渴望讯息
我应该如何让你知道我爱你 连星星都知道我心中的秘密
今夜在你窗前下的一场雨 是我暗示你我有多委屈
你还不懂雨永远不会停
今夜在你窗前下的一场雨 是我暗示你我有多么委屈
是我暗示你我有多么委屈

忙茫盲。。。
在学校忙上了一整天，回到家后什么也不想干了。。。
这几天都在准备preliminary exam的proposal。。。还要跟进实验。。。这几天在搞一个小heater stage，和一个induction furnace。。。
真的真的希望这样东西可以得出好的实验结果，发多几张papers。。。
真的很庆幸，平时的自己有做一点功课，还傻傻的让自己多干一些活。。。之前写过一篇proposal，现在可以把它copy and paste进入我pre-lim的proposal里面。。。之前所草稿的paper，现在却成了我proposal里面的其中内容。。。如果我有办法在3或4天内完成15页的proposal，还能不放下手上的工作，这样的速度我还是挺满意的。。。
瞒着君把房间租出去的事，终于在今天说漏嘴了。。。其实，我不是故意要瞒你的。。。我知道你一定不赞成我这样做，为了省一点钱却苦了自己。。。我知道这样做给你很大的压力。。。我明白你的感受，但我却一意孤行。。。对不起咯。。。
其实，其实，我还是很好的。。。三个housemate各自为政，其实也没有什么的。。。只是，刚出来独立的年轻人，真的是不懂得生活。。。不是平时娇生惯养，就是被呵护到了极点。。。
回想起来，我还很庆幸以前老妈每天都叫我洗碗碟，还说以后如果出国读书，可以到餐厅洗大饼，赚取生活费。。。我现在真的是在国外了，但是不需要靠洗大饼讨生活费。。。我可以自力更生，甚至还可以再养活另一个人。。。
或许不富裕的生活，才能培养出懂得生活的小孩？？！！
小孩的视野，人生观，生活习惯，观念态度，都应该从小就培养。。。要成为一个有用的人，不简单。。。

我买了新电脑了...
最新消息，最新消息！！！
我买了新电脑了。。。为了庆祝马来西亚成立日！！？？！！又或是预祝马来西亚变天成功？？！！？？
美金955，加税。。。原价1400左右，有一个500折扣coupon,变成900。。。加上55块的税，最后是955。。。
但是，我竟然忘了之前朋友跟我说过，如果打电话停购的话，要求他给学生价，还可以有6%的折扣！！所以，我就这样白白了50几块。。。这样，我的税就算不用交了。。。
之后打电话去询问，结果他说coupon只能用一次，如果我cancle order再从新购买，就不能再使用coupon。。。交涉了一番还是不成。。。或许我本来就不会跟人讨价还价。。。
今天忙了一整天。。。早上的时间就在上网买电脑。。。中午的时间就在lab设置一些小仪器。。直到傍晚，我才可以开始做我preliminary exam的准备。。。今早我8.30am到学校，结果晚上10点才回家。。。今天，有够累的了。。。
需要15页的文章，解释已经完成的工作和接下来的计划。。。还要准备一个oral的presentation，半小时左右，然后回答环节。。。基本上，如果平时有看文章、最新的研究文献和了解基础知识，基本上不会太难。。。
接下来的两个星期，会很忙哦。。。
为我加油吧。。。

一个人的生活。。。
时间眨眼间就过去了。。。我回来已经要两个月了。。。明天我会去Oak Ridge National Lab做4天的实验，还真的希望有好的成绩和结果。。。
出门之际，我总是会坐立不安的东摸摸西收拾。。。担心遗漏了一些要带的东西。。。调几个闹钟，怕自己睡过了头。。。明天4.30am，叫了的士去机场。。。
一个人的生活，样样都得靠自己。。。没有人给你任何的提醒，也没有能互相照顾对方。。。这或许不是寂寞，但却是孤单。。。
6天回来以后，将会是新学期的开始。。。已经有一些计划要进行，更希望事事都能顺利。。。
期待接下来几天的工作。。。

萩玹,加油!
萩玹，老弟的同学，也算是我的学妹（哈，一定要攀一点关系啦）。。。还记得，以前我们还一起学跆拳道的。。。现在的她，出战过无数的比赛，得过许多的世界锦标赛奖牌。。。几年前还听老弟说萩玹因训练和比赛受伤，开过刀，动过手术。。。作为运动员，真的不容易。。。笨珍虽然是个小地方，但也可以栽培出世界的选手，自己也感到有点自豪！
出战京奥会跆拳道比赛，虽然最后还是与奖牌无缘，但是，能参加比赛已经很不容易了,况且，还打入了8强，更是一项成就。。。身为笨珍人，我也为她的努力感到骄傲和感动。。。
这次是她第一次参加奥运，希望4年后（30岁了。。。），还是可以代表马来西亚去伦敦参加奥运。。。
萩玹,加油!要告诉全国的人，笨珍人其实一点都不笨哦，而且还是可以和世界竞争的对手。。。

跆拳道女子67公斤以上級‧徐萩玹復活賽爭銅希望破滅
大马时间：2008-08-24 10:28
（中國-北京）增添獎牌希望破滅！隨著跆拳道女將徐萩玹週六（8月23日）中午錯失晉級銅牌戰的機會，大馬軍團在北京奧運會最終以一枚銀牌的收穫結束奮鬥！
徐萩玹週六早上雖然為大馬贏得奧運會跆拳道的第一場勝利，但她在下午的複賽和復活賽兩次遭遇失利，功虧一簣，無法為大馬軍團增添獎牌。
在週六中午6時30分舉行的復活賽，徐萩玹以1比5不敵埃及對手努哈，失去出擊女子67公斤以上級銅牌戰的資格，因此羽球隊頭號男單李宗偉奪得的銀牌，是大馬在北京奧運會的唯一戰利品。
大馬軍團共有33名選手征戰北京奧運會9個大項的29個小項，除了靠李宗偉奪得唯一的獎牌，另外也在游泳、射箭、腳車和舉重改寫7項全國紀錄。
徐萩玹是大馬軍團中最後一個上場的選手，由於籤運不錯，她賽前曾受看好具備衝擊獎牌的機會。
在復活賽中顧慮太多
徐萩玹表示，當她週六中午知道可出戰復活賽時，第一個念頭便是“上天給了我另一個（衝擊獎牌）機會”，但結果卻事與願違。
這名來自柔佛州笨珍的女將賽後坦承，在復活賽中顧慮太多，是導致她緣慳銅牌戰的原因。
“我已投入到比賽中，但就是想太多了，我曾在2006年韓國公開賽上擊敗過她（努哈），週六對手和兩年前相比並沒有相差太多，問題出在我判斷攻擊距離時失準，這是過去兩年來極少未出現的情況。”
徐萩玹在複賽以1比3不敵挪威的韓裔歐錦賽銅牌得主索爾海姆，由於後者一路晉級決賽，她和隊友張雪芬一樣獲得出戰復活賽的資格，惟她重蹈張雪芬在復活賽首戰出局的覆轍。
在週六早上9時舉行的首輪賽中，26歲的徐萩玹以5比4擒服烏茲別克的卡里莫娃，為大馬贏得首場奧運跆拳道比賽的勝利。

這名來自柔佛州笨珍的女將賽後坦承，在復活賽中顧慮太多，是導致她緣慳銅牌戰的原因。
“我已投入到比賽中，但就是想太多了，我曾在2006年韓國公開賽上擊敗過她（努哈），週六對手和兩年前相比並沒有相差太多，問題出在我判斷攻擊距離時失準，這是過去兩年來極少未出現的情況。”
徐萩玹在複賽以1比3不敵挪威的韓裔歐錦賽銅牌得主索爾海姆，由於後者一路晉級決賽，她和隊友張雪芬一樣獲得出戰復活賽的資格，惟她重蹈張雪芬在復活賽首戰出局的覆轍。
在週六早上9時舉行的首輪賽中，26歲的徐萩玹以5比4擒服烏茲別克的卡里莫娃，為大馬贏得首場奧運跆拳道比賽的勝利。

我贱不下去。。。
今天碰到了两个难题：
1）你发了几张paper啊？
2）你什么时候毕业呢？
以前问朋友几时毕业，以为是一种关心的表现。。但突然间自己被问到何时毕业的时候，突然变得尴尬，心里更是负担。。。也才能理解，有些自认的关心，对他人而言，是一种负担。。。像长辈问说“什么时候交男女朋友”，“什么时候结婚”，在单身一族里是避忌。。。原来，在研究生界中，问起毕业之时是忌讳。。。
当我在众人面前说我将进入第4年的时候，突然感慨：“time flies"。。。大家笑了。。。是啊，3年里面到底有什成绩呢？一张属于自己的paper都没有，会不失望，会不颓丧吗？只是不停的劳作，心不累吗？心累了，人还会有目标吗？啊。。。古人的智慧，“哀莫大于心死”，真是一语道破我现在的心情。。。
下星期要去Oak Ridge National Lab做实验了。。。希望在许多专家和先进仪器的帮助下，能够有所收获。。。
做实验真的不只是配配材料，量量光谱那么简单。。。每一项看似简单的实验和paper，其实也花了心血在里面。。。但是，很多时候，却发现，许多人却好像可以轻松的就发了很多paper。。。可能辩解和安慰自己说程度和field不同。。。但是，who cares?？！！没有paper就是没有paper。。。
人真的要悲哀和作贱自己到去当鸵鸟或看低别人的成就来掩饰自己的无能吗？我可不会烂到像国阵政府，会去跟比自己烂的对手相比。。。更何况，我现在连比较的资格都没有。。。
那一份傲骨，让自己贱不下去。。。但却让自己自哀自怨起来。。。
真的希望在接下来的日子里，会能有所收获。。。
祝福我吧。。。

秋天来了。。。
哦。。。天气开始转凉了。。。
刚从学校出来的时候，虽然阳光普照，但风吻在脸上，却跟昨天不一样了。。。我知道，秋天来了。。。
在这里，季节的变化，表示了时间的流逝。。。这是我在美国第4个秋天了。。。
希望接下来的日期一切顺利。。。

问世间情为何物，直教人生死相许？
《雁邱词》--- 出自《摸鱼儿·金·元好问》
问世间情为何物，直教人生死相许？
天南地北双飞客，老翅几回寒暑。
欢乐趣，离别苦，就中更有痴儿女。
君应有语。渺万里层云,千山暮雪，只影向谁去？
横汾路，寂寞当年箫鼓，荒烟依旧平楚。
招魂楚些何嗟及，山鬼暗啼风雨。
天地妒，未信与，莺儿燕子俱黄土，千秋万古。
为留待骚人，狂歌痛饮，来访雁丘处。
这据说是他看到有人打下一雁，其伴侣也随之自杀写下的。雁丘是诗人给它们立的墓。

天若有情天亦老
突然想起，在某部金庸的武侠小说里，出现过这样一句诗句，“天若有情天亦老。。。” 于是，去查了一下出处。。。
原本出自李贺的诗《金铜仙人辞汉歌》："衰兰送客咸阳道,天若有情天亦老。" 后来被毛泽东用了，变成:天若有情天亦老,人间正道是沧桑。很多人就以为是毛泽东写的了。-《七律·人民解放军占领南京》·毛泽东
在网络上，有着这样的诗句：
天若有情天亦老，月若无恨月长圆！ 音容笑貌应犹在，只是生死两茫茫！ 人生自古谁无死，挥手一笑对苍天！ 今朝有酒今朝醉，明日愁来明日忧！ 彪子驾鹤已西去，极乐世界看人间！
出处不祥。。。
在文学播客网，找到了作者:紫檀情缘,在2006年10月写下《天若有情天亦老》的散文。。。在这里转载。

天若有情天亦老，非常有名的诗句。多少年来，一直在绵延不断地在流传着。从一千二百多年前的唐代“长吉鬼才”李贺原创以来，古今以来很多大文学家和伟人都曾经借用过。用此，来表达对苍天有情与无情的感慨与感叹。直到今天，生活在信息时代的人们，还再把这优美的诗句引用，用以来歌颂那永远说不完、唱不败的永恒的人间情感。
天若有情天亦老。唐朝诗人“长吉鬼才”李贺是这句诗的原创者，在《金铜仙人辞汉歌》中说：“衰兰送客咸阳道，天若有情天亦老。”“天若”一语，包含了太多的设想。奇伟的设想，辽远的意境，深沉的感情，似乎在问“天有情吗？”虽然没有在字面上直接回答“没有”或者“有”，却留了一个悬念和问号，那就是“天若有情天亦老”。多少年来，地未老，天也未荒，不正是对天地无情的最佳诠释吗？
天若有情天亦老。有天才有地，有地才有人。天、地、人的有机组合，把风雨雷电给了苍天，把江河湖海给了大地。轮到人这里，只有发自人们内心深处的那种情感了。苍天不老，大地不亡，只有人间的微妙情感，不能与天地共存。中华上下五千年，从黄帝开始到今天，经历了二十五个朝代的更换，还有无数圣仁君主的丰功伟绩，只留下了中华五千年的文化传承，却没有留下哪个有道明君的永久身影。那千古传颂的情爱故事，却因情的存在而源远流长。
天若有情天亦老。北宋的石曼卿在赠友联时写道：“天若有情天亦老，月如无恨月常圆。”如果天有情，天会老，所以人们总把美好的爱情说成是“地老天荒”。可是，谁知道“地老天荒”在哪里？月无恨，月就会始终圆满。如果月无恨，广寒宫主为什么满面忧容？人在旅途，总不能圆满，太多的事情，总会与诗人的美好愿望背道而驰。
天若有情天亦老。君不闻《长升殿》上李隆基与杨玉环的私语；君不见《梁山伯与祝英台》用那无声的誓言化蝶缠绵？君不见《牡丹亭》柳梦梅与杜丽娘的鬼魂与相见，因情复生……这“情”字谁能品透？这“爱”字谁又能看穿？也许正因为人有情，物有意，才使人间变化无常。
天若有情天亦老。人间万物如此的改变，为什么苍天和大地却从来就没有改变过呢？正因为它无情啊！天若有情，天不应该拆散牛郎织女，地若有意，地不应该让孟姜女永立望夫崖。天地无情，才有了亘古不变的天与地的合奏，也就出现了许多“天地无情人沧桑”的美好或者伤感的故事。
天若有情天亦老。多少优美、凄美的爱情故事，在幽怨的情结中，怨恨着苍天的无情。这时，那些幽怨的人们就会浏览于清代孙洙《河满子》的“天若有情天亦老，遥遥幽恨难尽，惆怅旧欢如梦，觉来无处追寻”的情爱幽恨中。人生在世，每个人都会有一段刻骨铭心的爱，会有一段隐藏在心底的涩涩的故事。这一切皆缘于人间的情在起作用。
天若有情天亦老 。简单明了地告诉了我们，如果苍天像人一样有情，苍天便会荒老；如果大地与万物一样可以生长，那么，大地也会消亡。所以，天地的绝妙组合，把人间众生与万物的位置，放在天与地之间。因此，人间众生与万物，便有了与天地不同的区别。那可能就是，天地无情人有情吧？人在这份情感的萌生、生长、开花、结果和枯败中，人们漫游着自己的人生之路。人们同时也在，错综复杂的情感世界里，走完自己完美，或者略含欠缺的一生。

My Wisconsin Dells Trip
Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park
Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park (2)
相伴，Together
戏水, playing with the water...
Go Karts
玩火，Japanese Food Chef playing with the fire

Teriyaki Chicken, cost me ~$22. Worth it with the show and food...
Secret House
Wait... It was not a mistake... It is really up side down...
Me and the horse lady...
At Holiday Go Kart, when on the way back to Houghton....
我从Wisconsin Dells回来了
我从Wisconsin Dells回来了，和几位朋友一起去那里的水上乐园玩乐一天。。。开了6小时多的车程到那，对在马来西亚的我们来说很夸张吧，但在美国，这只是家常便饭。。。
妈和君都叫我出去走走，不要老是呆在家里。。。不闷出病来，也会让自己的精神紧绷。。。
旅游固然好玩，但我总是觉得缺少了什么。。。我还是喜欢跟家人一起去沙巴的感觉，可能我想家和君吧，又或许，我根本不想离开。。。
我看到的，听到的，玩到的，点点滴滴，每每想到君都不在身边分享，就留下点点遗憾。。。哦，这趟的旅行，就是在点点遗憾中完成的吧。。。就算那里都不去，有时候就是在家里逗嘴吵架，也胜过独自的欢乐。。。
君，你过来美国陪我吧，好吗？
~~~~
炜姐，谢谢你在我的blog留言。。。也谢谢你的鼓励。。。真的，有时候碰到了挫折，孤单的一人，就忘了最初的理由。。。又或许，我发现了生命中还有比那最初理由更重要的东西。。。
拼命地追逐所谓理想的满足感，真的不比那温暖且温柔的相伴重要。。。所以，我开始认知到，我会回到我最初的地方，虽然它不是天堂。。。
真的只想赶快完成这里的一切，好回家，或把君接过来。。。

I miss you, Grandmum...
A very touching Petronas Chinese New Year Ad 2006...
Turning to August... Suddenly recall that 25th of August would be her 1st death day anniversary....
Miss you, grandmum...
累了
我竟然累了，身心都累了。。。
身累，睡一整天就没事，
心累了，让心神盲了，生活就颓废了。。。
没有了灵魂，灰飞烟灭。。。
走在28岁的路上，灵魂不见了，忙着找灵魂，所以累了。。。

《偶然》 - Chances
相遇自是偶然。。。世间的真理其实就是偶然。。。量子力学的理论基础开始于偶然，才会有机率和统计的计算。。。
每一天每一刻每一秒，都是不间断的偶然。。。有些人就是有偶然的机遇，运气特别的眷恋。。。所以，何必太在意得失呢？
我和君讨论诗人，聊起徐志摩和他人生中的三个女人。。。我想，如果没有那多情的基因，他不会纠缠在林徽因和陆小曼之间，他不会抛弃张幼仪和孩子，他不会坠机身亡。。。但是，如果没有那多情的基因，他也就不是徐志摩了，也不会有那么深动人心的诗和爱情。。。
《偶然》
作者: 徐志摩
我是天空里的一片云，
偶尔投影在你的波心
你不必惊异，
更无须欢喜，
在转瞬间消灭了踪影。
你我相逢在黑夜的海上，
你有你的，我有我的，方向；
你记得也好，
最好你忘掉，
在这交会时互放的光亮。

Chance
by Xu Zhimo
I am a cloud in the sky, A Chance shadow on the wave of your heart.
Don't be surprised, Or too elated;In an instant I shall vanish without trace.
We meet on the sea of dark night,You on your way, I on mine.
Remember if you will,Or, better still, forget it.
The light exchanged in this encounter.

飞的理由
还是第一次听到这首歌。。。君介绍的。。。
想听吗？去搜狗下载吧。。。
林忆莲 《飞的理由》
人间四月天主题曲
曲:黄韵玲 词:姚嫌
如果这个时候窗外有风
我就有了飞的理由
心中累积的悲伤和快乐
你懂了所以我自由
你不懂所以我堕落
如果这个时候窗外有云
我就有了思念藉口
爱引动我飞行中的双翅
你回应我靠近天堂
你沉默我成了经过
翅膀的命运是迎风
我的爱当你把爱转向的时候
我只身飞向孤寂的宇宙
眷恋的命运是寂寞
我的爱当你人间游倦的时候
我会在天涯与你相逢

如何下载YouTube的视频/保存YouTube视频技巧
还是君厉害，能在网上找到任何资讯。。。我本身试过了，绝对可行。。。需要一个叫FLV Player的播放器。。。
从其他网站copy了方法，为自己和君保存，也和大家分享。。。
从其他网站copy了方法，为自己和君保存，也和大家分享。。。
方法一：
比如要找zidane，就是下面网址:http://www.youtube.com/results?search=zidane&search_type=search_videos
第一步，从列表里选择你要下的视频。
第二步，复制该视频的URL。就是点开页面的右边About This Video栏里的地址，如 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxeOgSdsrII
第三步，打开下载生成网址在Input the video page URL 里把刚才Copy的URL粘上去~~（附图如下）
第四步，点击RETRIEVE，用它生成的下载地址开始下载，把下载到文件存储为FLV格式；
第五步，下载FLV Player（只有1M多）,然后选择你在FLV Player里面选择你下载多文件播放就可以了。
当然，如果你不喜欢这个格式也可以使用Riva FLV Encoder来进行转换。使用方法如下：
1.将fiv档案拖曳到〔Input〕该栏位
2.在〔Output Diectory〕此栏位选择存档位址
3.在〔Destination vedio file〕此栏位将〔.flv〕改成〔.wmv〕
4.点击〔Encode〕进行转档(转档过程中程式画面变白 恢复正常即是转档完成)
注：在右栏可以调整影片大小和剪裁
方法二：
步骤：
1.首先下载最新版Firefox浏览器
2.进入YouTube，选择一段你喜欢的视频
3.播放完整视频
4. 进入Firefox缓存文件夹－－一般位于X:\Documents and Settings\[用户名]\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[profilename]\Cache
－－－需要注意的是，以上路径为隐藏路径，你需要先把将文件夹选项“查看隐藏文件”选项打开
5.将文件夹文件按照时间排列，选择最近、最大（视频文件一般在数MB以上）的一个文件，添加文件后缀.flv－－例如：修改成A.FLV
6.下载FLV播放器
7.安装FLV播放器－－记得选择和.FLV后缀绑定
8.双击刚才的A.FLV文件
9.视频保存成功，播放开始
方法三（和方法一大同小异）：
有一个网站是专门为下载youtube的视频而建的。
地址是http://kej.tw/flvretriever/
使用方法：
1。把要下载视频的地址，比如http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2DJlaWd7Ek&eurl= 贴到“Input the video page URL ”后面的框里，然后按后面的“RETRIEVE NOW”
2。在下面的“Flv url”栏会出现一个地址，如http://www.youtube.com/get_video.php?video_id=s2DJlaWd7Ek
3。把这个地址贴到讯雷的下载地址栏里，下载下来
4。把下载下来的文件名改为"flv"，然后用Flv播放器播放

食疗。。。
相思和乡思，再加上无聊，颓废，麻木，没有灵魂，挫败感要怎样治疗呢？
有人说，“live to eat, not eat to live”。。。我今天做了食疗。。。Nasi Lemak+烘鸡肉+蜜瓜。。。
有效吗？
只怪我病入膏肓。。。
没有sambal的nasi lemak，就是缺了什么。。。

我又想家了。。。
是的，当生活都变成一个人的时候，这是最想家的时候。。。
没有人分享快乐的时候，没有人分担郁闷的时候，没有人可以抱怨受气的时候，没有人陪伴无聊的时候，这是最想家的时候。。。
为什么有些博士可以读到那么轻松？为什么我就要走了一大圈来到最初的原点？付出的，值得吗？收到的，是我要的吗？
人生，真的需要那些拼了命，奋不顾身的事业和金钱吗？
刚才在网络上看到这样的文字：
如果相遇，你會感到相知，那麼，有一種習慣 ─叫做陪伴。
如果陪伴，你會感到珍惜，那麼，有一種甜蜜 ─叫做存在。
如果存在，你會感到壓力，那麼，有一種善良 ─叫做離開。
如果離開，你會感到輕鬆，那麼，有一種勇敢 ─叫做放棄。
忙的時候，想要休息；渡假的時候，想到未來。
窮的時候，渴望富有；生活安逸了，怕幸福不能長久。
決定的時候，擔心結果不如預期；
看明白了，後悔當初沒有下定決心
不屬於自己的，常常心存慾望；
握在手裡了，又懷念未擁有前的輕鬆
「生命若不是現在，那是何時？」

珊姐给我带来美国的月饼。。。已经迫不及待想吃它一口了。。。因为，我想家了。。。
没有人分享快乐的时候，没有人分担郁闷的时候，没有人可以抱怨受气的时候，没有人陪伴无聊的时候，这是最想家的时候。。。
为什么有些博士可以读到那么轻松？为什么我就要走了一大圈来到最初的原点？付出的，值得吗？收到的，是我要的吗？
人生，真的需要那些拼了命，奋不顾身的事业和金钱吗？
刚才在网络上看到这样的文字：
如果相遇，你會感到相知，那麼，有一種習慣 ─叫做陪伴。
如果陪伴，你會感到珍惜，那麼，有一種甜蜜 ─叫做存在。
如果存在，你會感到壓力，那麼，有一種善良 ─叫做離開。
如果離開，你會感到輕鬆，那麼，有一種勇敢 ─叫做放棄。
忙的時候，想要休息；渡假的時候，想到未來。
窮的時候，渴望富有；生活安逸了，怕幸福不能長久。
決定的時候，擔心結果不如預期；
看明白了，後悔當初沒有下定決心
不屬於自己的，常常心存慾望；
握在手裡了，又懷念未擁有前的輕鬆
「生命若不是現在，那是何時？」
