抛硬币

当面对两个选择时，抛硬币总能奏效，

并不是因为它总能给出对的答案，

而是在你把它抛在空中的那一秒里，

你突然就知道，

你希望的结果是什么了。。。

医龙（第二季）精句

【知道自己的极限在哪里，反过来说就能够了解自己到底能做什么。无论是怎样的工作，真正支撑着大局的人，是在天才身边的几万，甚至几十万的普通人。可是，这些普通人所干的，并不逊色于天才所干的工作。虽然很平凡，但却是只属于自己的，特别的工作，是指由某个特定的人，才做得到的工作；只有自己，才能够做到对自己诚实这一点，我们也是一直这样走过来的啊。。】

【我是个平凡的医生，就算如此，我还是又能力所能及的事情，只要有同伴在！】

【可是啊，太坚持了人会受不了，像气球一样爆炸哦。人啊，如果只靠自己一个，什么都做不成，要依靠周围的人，好好活下去。。。】

【外科医生不能只看到技术的层面，还要关注对患者的诊断。】

【我们可是一支队伍，即使凭你一个人的力量做不到，在你的背后，还有支持者你的伙伴，你不是孤身一人！】

【Quality of life】

【到这里来的患者，由我们来守护！】

【轮到我照顾她了，轮到我带她去了，他如果不和我一起，是不行的。所以。。。我想治好，我绝不能倒下，绝不能。。。】

【为什么要替他诊治？因为是患者啊。不管医院怎么变，医生要替患者治病，天经地义。看都没看就认定是claimer，那你就别做医生了，你没有资格做医生。】

【就算是替患者治好了病，如果让患者失去了生存的希望，就毫无意义了吧。】

【奇迹，是需要努力创造出来的。】

一件永远无法忘怀的事（二）

一个月前，我约了大学同学来一个中秋节聚会。。。

到了那一天（也就是上星期六），我失约了。。。

原因就是因为。。。

星期六当天，原本打算驾车到Pasar Seni，然后乘搭LRT去找炳佳，再坐他的车到佩云家。怎么知道上了联邦大道，用差不多100公里的时速，驾到差不多到了我公司Glenmarie转弯处之前，怎知。。。

恐怖的事就来啦～～～～～～～～～～

一下子，我发觉到怎么踩油门的同时时速一时间降低，车子在行驶100公里时速瞬间放慢下来。。走在第三条快速车道的我，一开始还没觉得什么，可能就是上斜坡有点吃力，就再多踩油门一点，怎么知道也没有反应，反而看着仪表中的时速针迅速下降，但是车子却因为惯性力量（Inertia）继续用刚刚100km/h的时速行驶！

我顿时间吓了一下，便连忙把右脚伸到刹车挚那儿头，轻轻地踩下，意想让车子渐渐减速，怎知。。。

My 6-month Mandarin Class

It’s has been 7 months ago when I started my Mandarin Class in Asia Educational Academy (AEA) at Bukit Tinggi, Klang. Before that, I only remembered that I seemed to dropped a message in their vacancy on certain job website very long time ago. Until the last Feb around CNY, I’d received their call to ask me go for interview. After that, I accept the offer and challenge to teach the very first class of mine.

On 13th Mar, 2012, I entered the doorstep of my class which comprises of around 14 students. They are mostly Indians, and only few of Malays and Chinese. Basically, this is a conversation-focused class, which means speaking is vital & major part of evaluation while writing, comprehension, listening are only supplementary (but important as well lar, hahaha!). 

Here they are, only some of their student's card are showed at picture above (of course included mine too, this picture was taken during the last day which one of the student wanted to take a photograph of these as the cards were needed to be returned back to the management).

Still remember, the first day I introduce myself as 王老师 and had announced my rules in the class:

1. This class would be conducted mainly in English at the beginning but will slowly turn into Mandarin at the end when everyone can master well.

2. This class should be interactive and interesting. So don’t be shy and go and deal with everyone!

3. I would assist all until the exam at the end, any extra question can bring it out after the class.

And that, created a warm atmosphere which allowed all of us staying together on each Friday to be in the class learning Mandarin. I would say I was really lucky to have this batch of students who all were so friendly and initiative along the class which making me feel so comfortable in teaching them without very much effort to draw their attention and enthusiasm on Mandarin.

So along the 6 months period, I’ve teach them from the dialogues such as, INTRODUCE MYSELF, FAMILY, ASK DIRECTION, SHOPPING, SEEK FOR DOCTOR, WEATHER, and etc. Also, vocabulary like nouns, verbs and adjectives. I’ve tried to recall how my lecturer teach me Japanese during university time and applied it here. Therefore, thanks to that experience which helps me a lot in conducting the class as the centre did not provide me with any resources or learning materials but only text book (am I complaining? Obviously yes! Hahaha! Because I have to search for video and sound clips, vocabulary list in pinyin and etc.)

Oh ya! during the 2nd class, I ‘d also given them their own Chinese name which translated from their own name. They are:

Juliana：朱莉安娜            Amilia：阿米丽亚

Joshua：乔舒亚                 Joshua Joseph：乔舒亚。约瑟夫

Vicittra：维斯提拉           Mary Ann：玛丽安

Anusha：阿努莎                Suriya：苏利亚

Avinnaya：阿维那亚       Kogilavani：瓦妮

Thiyagarajan：提亚卡     Shuhada：舒哈达

Amaran：阿玛岚                Amir：阿米尔

After 6 months, with a total of 2 mid-tests, I successfully chased out 4 students as some of them were not being able to attend due to their personal reason or work factor. So here comes the final exam which determine their grade in their certificate later. Everyone was concern about this as they paid the monthly fees for this reason – to obtain an endorsed certification on Mandarin. They did their best, after all =)

I was quite strict in marking their exam papers, as I said to them to comfort some of them who did not score well, but I really did (even the management also told me that). However, I told myself not to set a very difficult questions in the next batch again as they are not really able to reach that standard yet.

Yeah!!! All got their certificate on hand on the very last day after we discussed about the exam questions. This picture was taken and well, my pose was requested by them ya! Not my idea at all!!! They requested 老师 to be seated~ and my colleague over there commented me 好嚣张！Hohoho ~

This chocolate was given to me by one of the most hardworking student, Juliana which almost everyone in the class has considered her as some sort of monitor. She always prepared well before the class and would search for extra vocabularies on her own.

I can’t imagine how close they are from all were unknown to each other, but with some naughty guys in the class, plus some girls who very opened and criticize with friendly tone, we can even hold for a post-exam farewell party in one of the student’s place in Taman Sentosa. The last day, they asked me not to join the discussion as they have something surprise for me on the farewell. That time, I don’t know why but felt so nervous with what are they going to do on me then… Hahaha~ (think too much~)

---

And so on the next Thursday after the last day class, we all went to Suriya’s event/ karate centre to have our farewell party. Amazing huh, I never imagine that we could even close to this stage with only a 2-hour meeting per week along these 6 months period. And when I reach there, I saw a big table which occupied by Pizzas, drinks, kuih-muih (handmade), chicken wings and etc.

It’s quite funny and surprise for me that they actually planned a proper farewell instead of just eat-and-leave. First of all, they have their chairlady (which is the monitor) and emcee to lighten up the ceremony with opening speech on the red-carpet stage with mic. And then, they have invited me on stage to cut the cake as opening ceremony (I guess so~ hahaha~).

The next thing was even more surprising! They wanted to feed me pieces of cake one-by-one using their hands! That time, I was thinking in the heart, is this one of their culture to show friendliness? And I was just kept open my mouth when their hand with cake came to me and smile to the camera without figuring out the answer yet~ huhuhu~ (and yes, after that I knew this action was very common in Indian’s community as part of their culture. I was grateful to experience this and also to let me know more about my neighbour race).

After the eat-and-eat session, the emcee, Amilia called me up again to receive the token of appreciation from them represented by chairlady.

***Alright, below there would be some elements of prouds. Those who under age or cannot tahan of this please leave the site immediately. Hahahaha!***

“Grade A+ Teacher, My Everyday Hero” was given to me… Even though I knew the cert was bought in S&J, but I was still very happy for that.

ANDDDD not finish yet!!! Another OSCAR trophy~~ WOW!!!!

Truly speaking, I was so touch by their intention and regard and everything they have put in the class and the party. I always believe that, no matter what prizes or awards have been given to a teacher, all are not even a single drop of appreciation from the students.

I extracted some of their testimonials towards the centre and teacher and put it over here:

1. I first started off learning Mandarin in a language courses for 6 months. I knew almost nothing about Mandarin before, but in just 6 months, I am pretty confident that I can express myself in Mandarin. Thanks to my teacher Mr. Wang and also to AEA center. I enjoyed going to my Mandarin classes every Tuesday and also made great friends there. Mr. Wang lessons structure and progression is a perfect fit. Anyone serious about learning Mandarin needs to strongly consider AEA center & Mr. Wang.    (Juliana)

2. The reason I choose to study AEA is:

· The lecturer is good in teaching

· The lecturer willing to teach us most of the time    (Joshua)

3. I enjoyed studying Mandarin from this center because everything taught by the teacher was clear and easy to understand. He was very friendly and good at explaining all the Chinese terms which made every lesson very interesting and fun.     (Anusha)

4. Our Mandarin teacher is a great tutor. He makes our lesson more interesting and enjoyable. He gave us good coaching in learning this beautiful language. Thank you AEA and Wang lao shi.    (Amilia)

5. From A to Z, I was taught by the very nice teacher with a comfortable environment.   (Syuhada)

6. The Mandarin course that I took up at AEA is fantastically superb as the tutor, Mr Heng was an excellent tutor who really took his responsibility a notch up to educate us well. He takes the initiative to really make us understand the vocabulary & words from Mandarin.   (Vicittra)

7. Sincerely, the teacher has changed our mind set from imagining Mandarin as a hardest language into one of the easiest language to conquer by mind. Thanks to the teacher.   (Thiyagarajan)

We took our last group photo together…

We said there would be another day of meeting again…

but who knows what will happen next…

but THANK YOU GUYS~

幸福在别人眼里

我们常常看到的风景是：

一个人，总是仰望和羡慕着，别人的幸福；

一回头，却发现自己，正被仰望和羡慕着。

其实，每个人都是幸福的，

只是你的幸福，

常常在别人的眼里。

不一样的时间，不一样的风光

最近，公司重审回去我们的工作表，

从原本的六天制，

变成五天制，

因此从原本的9点至5点，

必须要加多一小时。

尝试过了8点至5点，

现在又换成9点至6点。

 

不同的上班时间，

让我有着不一样的风光可欣赏～

最近从公司回家的道路上，

总会看到一些美丽的画面～

第一次用手机拍下联邦大道的夕阳～

看到远处的光耀从云端照下来吗？好像Mr. Bean就快要降落下来似的～

这个是在中秋节那段日子，听到同事说当天的太阳被彩虹包围着，便跑到天台上去，用同事的高素质像素手机拍下这张照片～

 

有没有结尾？没有咯～

这个post都是很random启发起来的嘛～

这不就是生活吗？

再多的安排，偶尔也会有突然的小插曲来捣乱一番，

成为回忆的一部分～

五场音乐话剧盛宴

2012这一半年来，是我有史以来出席过最多次的音乐飨宴～
在这里很大家一起分享一下～

（一）The London Musical（20.6.12）

原本在之前就有在Groupon网站看到他们有售卖折扣价的票，心动了一下却没买下来，因为还要去到Sunway Lagoon，又不知道有没有人要陪我去。
怎么知道，过后我妈就问我要不要去看The London Musical，说是由于我的阿姨获得免费票，因为她有的公司有赠送免费票给他们。有多出来的票，就请我们去看～我当然是okay啊～哈哈！
去到Sunway Lagoon，也好久一段时间没去玩了，好多变化了，而且原来晚上那里的灯光效果还蛮漂亮的哦！很紧张，因为第一次现场看国际水准的舞台剧。。。洋人的舞台剧～
