21.12.12

21.12.12 has arrived finally...
it might be said as the end of the world for someone,
it might be seen as a brand new day for some other one...
for me, it has been another meaningful and fruitful day...
at least, up to this moment at 2330 Malaysia time. :-)

 Workshop on first aid + CPR,
watched a fantastic and meaningful movie,
enjoyed home cooked dinner and traditional glutinous rice as celebration of winter solstice festival with my loved one...

我的2012年12月21号,过得还挺有意义的嗯!
祝大家明天会更好!

121212

121212
A special date.
To some, it might be just another normal date and normal day.
For those prepare for tying the knot, this is an auspicious and easy-to-remember date to get married.
In fact, this will be the last such 'triple date' for this century.
Thus, it is somehow still a memorable date to reveal it's unique meaning for different people.

To all the people around me who have just get married, or getting married,
May all your marriage blessed with triple happiness.

To be able to love someone you love and love you in return, it's a precious gift of life.
To be able to take the 'someone' as your life partner, the gift is somehow invaluable.

那天在朋友的婚宴聚会上,和久违的好友畅谈之中,
听到了对“另一半”的诠释,那么简洁却意义深重的一句话。
"Someone who enhances your capability but also bring you back to reality".
有震撼,却有更深的感动,和感恩。

近期好多身边人都和自己的另一半陆续踏上红地毯携手开启另一段人生旅途了。
121212这一天,更是可见到无数对新人的喜讯充斥各媒体报道。

真心地替每一对新人开心,
真诚地为每一对新人祝福。

我家里最亲爱的男孩,

也在2012年11月25号正式长大成真正的男人做了Married Man了。
为了刚在两个礼拜前落幕的婚宴,全家上下齐心张罗,
过程中免不了的酸甜苦辣,可也总算圆满结束。
有赖各方亲友的挺身相助,和赏脸出席,
感激道不尽,感动埋心中。
如有任何招待不周之处,恳请见谅和多多包涵。

On this auspicious date of 121212, our family would like to take this opportunity to thank all our relatives and friends who have allocated their precious time to make the wedding day of 251112 a success and memorable event.
We would also like to apologize for any shortcoming throughout the event.

Many many many thanks.
Appreciate the moment that we have spent together, always.





男人和女人的人生之酸甜苦辣,
才刚刚掀开序幕。
祝愿旅程上有爱,谅解和包容,
快乐向前走。



也顺便谢谢,
扶持我前进,也不时让我回归现实更趋踏实的,

大番薯。

One month from 20121221

There have been sayings or rumours or facts predicting that 21 December 2012 will be the end of the world.

 

From there, the great movie "2012" is produced.

From this, many friends have set up some plans and goal and aimed to accomplish them before the day arrive. 


In fact, many people still living their normal life as usual.

 

How true is that prediction, nobody can confirm.

 

 What I can do from now on and also what I have been doing all these while, is to treasure every single moment, appreciate whatever I have with me and love whoever beside me, and more importantly,

Live Life to the FULLEST!!!

Nevertheless, let's pray for a better tomorrow!
Amitabha.


轉發如下:
  美国的NASA,就是太空总署,非常有力的说明,20121221日,这一天不是世界末日。但是地球有个很大的转变,从三度空间转变到四度空间,有三天的时间,地球处在三度空间的零度空间。连续三天,地球是黑夜,是地球的换纪时刻,三天看不到太阳。白天跟晚上时间不正常,到第三天的时候完全停了。对着太阳的美国那边是三天白天,那个太阳很强烈,那三天非常炙热,那温度可能到四、五十度,会热死人。背着太阳的时侯三天三夜是夜晚,非常寒冷,温度可能到零下二三十度。可是不要害怕,不是长久是这样的,三天...
。三天之后慢慢就恢复,一个星期,十天之后就正常了。那这三天,信息告诉我们不要出门,哪里都不要去,在家里头。
不管这个事情是真是假,我们要有高度的警觉,准备比不准备好!未雨绸缪,有备无患!
★预备御寒的衣服、被子、水、火柴、蜡烛(停电停水,电池都可能失效)不管真假,心理的准备要非常充分,紧紧抓着这一句佛号念到底,消灾免难。佛号最吉祥,最圆满,最美好,最光明。阿弥陀佛~将心量拓开,爱自己,爱一切众生~
珍惜父母家人,亲朋好友,互相尊重,互相爱护,互相原谅,互相感恩,心中恒存一分爱心,共创美好和谐的世界。相信这世界会更美好幸福~
心善,行善,定心 (定生智慧),爱心,念佛。
防灾减难,有备无患!
祝愿国泰民安,风调雨顺、灾难不起、社会和谐、世界和平! 阿弥陀佛~

PMS?! <於是假裝不在乎>

肚子脹脹的, 眼睛刺刺的,頭顱重重的,胸口悶悶的,
連心,也有點患得患失, 悵然若失,說不上來的, 鬱悶;
全身上下,
感覺都很不對勁。
 
怎麽搞的?
 
PMS?
某些部分或許是吧!
荷爾蒙作祟,
也可能導致精神比較衰弱,心靈比較脆弱。

需要依賴時,
得不到適時的擁抱也算了,
卻連適當的安慰和問候也要和一點一滴流失的分秒抗戰乞討。
渴望變成奢望,
期待變成傻等,
一次又一次,
累。
 
結果,
一點點小事,
就足以構成仿佛很任性很無理取鬧的“鬧情緒”,
然後自我感覺愚蠢。
 
很不喜歡這樣的自己。
 
說穿了,
PMS或許只是藉口,
也或許只是恰巧。
更多的,
是對於距離的無奈,
不夠用心的疑惑。

太過在乎,
徒增沉重,
太多抱歉,
更添沉重。
 
想起吳淡如的一本書,
“於是假裝不在乎”。
 
 
可以嗎?

Eye's talk ~ 靈魂之窗的哀號

23/10/12

GA 全身麻醉初体验

为了让灵魂之窗得以一劳永逸地告别骚扰,
终究采取了资深眼科医生的建议,再安排进行另一项手术。
这一次,还决定选择全身麻醉,
以讓病人和醫生能在不受干擾的情況下接受和進行施刀縫和等需要手藝技巧和精准的手術。

經過一連串不無心驚膽戰的測試和檢查,
終究被安排入院,
開始了三天兩夜的留宿。

第一次吃醫院伙食,
第一次插針打點滴,
第一次躺在病床上被推者穿梭于醫院樓層閒。。。

當然,
也是第一次被套上氧氣罩,
瞄了帥哥麻醉師幾眼,
然後就不省人事了。

沉睡了好幾個小時,
醒來時變獨眼龍了,
還好沒有很大的痛楚。

10幾天的病假,
老實說並沒有機會好好休息。

重點是,
在出院前沒有被交待要怎麽處理和照顧傷口等,
就憑著自以爲是的common sense 和 I think I'm ok...
結果,
在復診時,
竟然,
被醫生告知所縫的綫脫落了,
前功盡棄,
被罵哭了。。。
更多的,
是傷心吧!

啊。。。
到底問題出在哪裏?

那種刺痛的感覺,
又回來了!

難道,
真的沒有解決的一天?

或許,
只能學習如何與頑固睫毛共處了。
可是,
如果沒辦法將倒插的頑皮鬼趕盡殺絕,
那麽可不可以對眼球和瞳孔溫柔一些?
啊,
那珍貴的靈魂之窗!

心情,
還真是沉重。。。。。。。。

看囘之前也被同樣的問題困擾時而選擇過的治療以及治療后寫下的心情故事,
除了沉重,
更多的是無奈。。。。。。

"Electrical" Eyes~电走顽固睫毛

Nobody could give an exact factor contributing to this condition.
Nobody could offer an absolute solution to correct this condition.
To reduce the tendency of getting more complications  in future, finally 'electrolysis' option was chosen to remove the inwards lashes which have been torturing my eyes for the past few years.
The surgical procedure is defined as simple and safe, but in actual it was tedious and, PAINFUL.
Quite an AWFUL experience!
The bruises and soreness, please resolve faster. (Having scary 'Dracula' look now...Gosh!)
The inward lashes, please grow no more. (Poking sensation is so irritating...Sigh!)
After being treated by 'electricity', am I having a pair of 'electrical' eyes now?
After going through all these, please allow me to have healthier eyes.

困扰多时的睫毛内刺毛病,终究促成了‘姑且一试’的勇气去进行一项所谓的‘小手术’。
手术虽小,可是过程算是挺折腾的。
在候诊室等了大半天,然后被安排坐在轮椅上被推走那么长的一段路直达冰冷的手术室,
不期然的毛骨悚然, 更多的忐忑不安。
躺在手术台上,强灯直射脸上,要睁眼都难;
几名医护人员七手八脚地准备器材、驳接、消毒等,要平伏紧张也不容易;
开始了,麻醉针直插入下眼脸再注射药水--痛!
尖尖细细的电棒瞄准在睫毛根部再施于电压--痛!
无法形容的折磨!!!
整个过程接近一小时吧,感觉上却仿佛一个世纪那么长。

好不容易,结束了,
留下的瘀痕,挺骇人的!
给予7天的病假单,是代表7天见不了人吗?
啊,吸血鬼般的红眼!
被电击后,是否可以完全痊愈并赋予更亮丽的神采更强的电流去‘目送秋波’呢?
啊,无可置否的‘电眼’!

我只求,还原后,
许我一双健康的灵魂之窗。

(p/s: It is said that this procedure might have to repeat few more times as there is no guarantee that the condition can be resolved in one time. I doubt whether I still have the courage to take it next time. Not again, please. @_@)

My eyes are not happy~我的灵魂之窗:-(


Anyone know of any good eye specialist in Klang Valley area? I have seen Opthalmologist in Serdang Hospital, visited one eye specialist in SS2 and another one in Mid Valley; 3 different diagnosed term based on the similar examination,  and 3 different treatment options suggested.....

Trichiasis?
Entropian?
Distichiasis?

Laser therapy?
Entropian surgery?
Electrolysis epilation?
 
Arrghhh......should I seek for the 4th or 5th opinion? Any other recommendation? hmm.......

那,
为我的世界带来光明,
为我的人生填上色彩,
为我的内心作出诠释,
珍贵的,
灵魂之窗,
生病了。

泪腺明明还很发达呀,
为什么会有干眼症状呢?
睫毛本来就不浓密呀,
为什么会那么不听话呢?
视线开始模糊了,
为什么菌菌还要雪上加霜呢?

是见证了人世间太多繁杂的纷纷扰扰吗?
是受不了地球上日益上升的污染指数吗?

抗议了这么些日子,
没有得到很好的护理,
是我的疏忽吧。

眼睛看不清楚的时候,
心,
会看得比较透彻吗?

困扰。
被困住了,
懊恼烦扰。

花好月圓人團圓之 ~ 圓緣

這一季的中秋,
突然有感而發,
要談一談
“圓緣”。
 
送別了農曆七月,隨著中秋節的到來,
也往往意味著很多喜慶日子的陸續到來,
紅色炸彈尤其多啊! 呵呵!

9月30號這一天,是大學同學兼好姐妹的大喜日,
雖然終究沒能親自出席見證她和他的喜悅,
心裏誠然有些愧疚和惋惜,
可是誠心誠意的真摯祝福,將與她和他同在;

再過一個星期,是另一個好姐妹兼舊同事批嫁衣的大日子,
看者她在感情路上跌跌撞撞地一路走來直到找到了他為最終的依歸処,
心裏的欣慰和欣喜非筆墨能形容,
滿滿的祝福將賦予具體的行動做她的“姐妹”來考驗他的迎娶決心,
許她和他一個難忘的終身大事場景!

接下來,
還有許多身邊人即將陸續踏上這一段人生新的里程碑。
作爲他/她們的身邊人,
有幸見證,或參與,或旁觀,
某些過程上的轉折迂回,或蕩氣囘揚,或大放異彩,
堪稱五味雜陳。


那一天,
對著迷失了的他和她,
說出了那麽一番肺腑之言:

[人如果太過執著於自己的所謂原則和以凡事“我”為中心(“我”的感受,“我”的心情,“我”就是這樣,別來惹“我”。。。),不懂得隨情況而有所調整,很多時候是不止辛苦了身邊的人也把自己困住了。也可以說,是還不夠成熟或對世事還不夠參透。

在我認為,如果我真的愛一個人,我會很自然地也會去愛他的家人,希望他的家人甚至朋友也會喜歡我。因為他的這些身邊人在我出現之前已經是他一直以來生活的一部分,塑造成今天的他,讓我愛上的他,也讓他愛上了我,
相愛是多麼幸福的感覺。 如果彼此珍惜這一份愛,很自然地也會想要融入彼此的生活。

相愛是兩個人的事,可是生活卻是和周圍的聯繫。
要讓這種幸福延續下去,在相愛和生活之中找到融合點,是必然的,也是需要誠意和智慧的。
最重要的,是不能選擇逃避,因為逃避等於放棄幸福的權利。

對彼此的愛,是很重要的紮根。
這個根本衍生出來的力量,可以讓兩個本來來自不同世界的人因為相遇相知相愛而選擇生活在一起。
記得,這是彼此的“選擇”。

而生活上,有太多事是要互相包容,協調和配合的。
把心懷放開,感受和認同愛的力量,一切都變得那麼理所當然,那麼心甘情願,就算負擔也是甜蜜的。
為了彼此的幸福而作的努力,有什麼委屈可言呢?有什麼平衡不平衡地需要去計算嗎?輸贏又算什麼?

要知道,是包容不是忍耐,是配合不是委屈,就算是改變也是為了讓彼此的愛情和生活變得更好,何樂而不為?

愛可以撫平摩擦,可以化解心結,也可以堆積信心去面對所有生活的挑戰,只要有誠意,就會認同,就會坦然面對。

什麼事情,不是說什麼:“這是你的事,不管我的事”, 而凡事應該以“我們”做出發點,因為很多事是要兩個人一起去面對的。
當彼此可以以“我們”一起達成的共識來協調和處理,那種感覺才是雋永的,那是一種對愛的昇華,讓很多事情變得美好很多

記得嗎?生活,是和周圍的聯繫。
而愛和生活,是分不開的。
幸福,就是在愛和生活之中找到融合點。
我衷心地祝福你們以愛為本,成熟地去面對生活,找到邁向幸福的方向。]


雖然不知道這番話對他和她起了什麽樣的作用,
但是可喜的事,
他/她們似乎開始找到融合點了,
開始可以期許所謂的“大團圓結局”,
雖然,
這個所謂的結局,
只是另一個過程的開始。

總結,
在茫茫人海中,
能有幸遇到和他/她相知相惜並願意相守一生的她/他,
是多麽難得和有賴於多深的緣分才能促成的。
所以,
既然選擇了牽手,就不要輕易放手,
既然選擇了交心,就不要輕易變心。

執子之手,
與子擕老。
即是,
圓緣。
希望大家的緣,
都是圓滿的。

祝大家中秋節快樂!

家家有本難念的經

報章上報道過的一些不幸戲碼,
差點,
就要發生在一個看似幸福的小康之家裏了。

還好事情的嚴重性在還沒衍生出更嚴重的悲劇前,
被攤牌了。

牌面翻開來,
牽扯著小康之家裏每一個成員的情緒,
牽涉到的包括物質和心靈上的,
牽一發而動全身。

都,
實實在在的缺了一大塊。

提供日常生活所需確定溫飽再計劃更好的那一塊,
缺了口縱然無奈可也還好,

只是把計劃更好的計劃暫時擱置,
努力一點假以時日相信就可以還原。

因爲驚訝懊惱羞愧委屈心痛心寒而被切開的那一塊,
被活生生撕開,
被熱淚燙傷,
倒是需要更長的時間去復原。

驚訝, 是因爲超乎想象;

懊惱, 是因爲后知后覺;
羞愧, 是因爲枉為孝兒,
委屈, 是因爲有苦難言;
心痛, 是因爲代價不菲;
心寒, 是因爲險釀悲劇.

最后,
還是要謝謝慶幸--

至少,
小康之家,
還是'齊齊整整'的。

感恩正面能量的聚集和發揮。







後記:

只是,
因爲如此這樣的缺口而引發的另一項隱憂和考驗,
他和她,
需要更大的信心和決心一起去面對和克服.

是嗎?
是的.

20120912 ~ 滿月和生日


滿月和生日恰巧落在同一天,
算是很值得慶祝的一個日子吧?

可惜,
沒辦法具體地一起慶祝,
只有遙寄祝福,
只好凴歌寄意,
一首隔空傳送的生日歌。

那麽今天,
聼了生日歌,
吃了生日蛋糕,或者紅雞蛋,或者面綫嗎?
許了生日願望嗎?

願望,
是。。。。。。?

對了,
記得擁抱和感恩母親哦!


對了,
有沒有滿月歌的呢?
嗯呵。

好吧,
點唱一首,
范偉琪的歌--
《我們的紀念日》 。

Past, PRESENT, Future

Yesterday is a history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
and Today?



~Past
想要知道他/她之前的成長背景和人生故事,
是因爲那是一段她/他沒有機會參與的過去,
也是塑造成今天的他/她的一段昨天,
可以一起促膝長談話當年的昨天;

~Present
想要了解他/她目前的心態狀況和生活環境,
是因爲這是讓他/她們融入彼此生活的最佳管道,
也是建立和經營感情基礎的當下,
可以一起緊握珍惜灌溉的當下;


~Future
想要探討他/她對未來的規劃和展望,
是因爲這將會是他/她們摸索和適應彼此前進方向的導航,
也是讓彼此的生命藍圖繼續擁有彼此的明天,
可以一起攜手邁步前進到達的明天。


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

那天,
他告訴她,
他會告訴她關於他的一切,
讓她安心快樂地過日子。
 
她想,
過去,現在,未來,
就是彼此的一切吧!




Today is a GIFT, 
that's why we call it PRESENT.

所以,
姑且不論
昨天是怎樣,
明天會如何,
把握今天這一份珍貴的禮物,
才是最重要最實際的,
可不是嗎?

生命在呼吸之間

2012年8月25日
我寫下了,

“感恩慈濟人文工作室再次給予的信任和委任撰寫活動報導,因緣殊勝得以出席這一場心靈講座。聽黃軒醫師詩情畫意地分享發自心胸的真情故事和對生命的詮釋。感動,滿滿的; 提筆,記載了;會,好好耕耘的。”

今天早上,
我把文稿電郵給慈濟的人文工作室了。
在着手寫下和完成這篇文稿時,
心裏堆積了滿滿的愛,連我自己都很感動。
這一份愛,除了通過黃軒醫師書籍和演説的渲染,
當然也包括了來自我身邊人給我的愛,和對他們的愛。

因爲深深相信無常,
所以才一直提醒自己要把握當下,珍惜所有身邊的人。
因爲愛,所以我感動了,
接受了當下,也在珍惜當下,
珍惜出現在我面前那麽愛我並也能觸動我心旋的人。

沒有人能預測明天會發生什麽事,
什麽事情要說永遠或許也變得不甚實際,
只有現在才是永恒。
所以,我伸手抓住了現在,
被愛握住的手,沒有抽出來,只能囘握。

當然,回到現實中,
人還是免不了要規劃未來,
因爲未來是現在要往前走的方向,是生活的導航。
這個規劃,是建立在相互了解的基礎上,
是要一起努力去摸索,協調和配合的。
期許能夠找到適合的步伐和相同的方向,
才能一起到達同一個目的地。

結果會是怎樣,先努力了再走著瞧吧!
重要的是,懂得把握,
最起碼已經少了遺憾。

好一句:“明天未到,無常先到啊”!
所以今天,
我很慶幸沒有遺憾,
我很感恩被愛包圍。


後記: 
接近農曆七月十五,
總是有一連串的祭祖和超度先靈的儀式。
我和家人一如往常地會依照佛家和道家的儀式來追思先人。
追思,也是一種保存愛的方式,
因爲只有永恒的愛,
才不忌諱無常。
願我已仙逝的親人朋友,
不管在哪個空間或轉換點,
都能與愛同在。


感恩 合十

七夕情人節 ~ Love is in the air

Tuesday, August 14, 2012

她和他

2012年8月12號,
是她正式確認他的一天。
尋尋覓覓了這麼多年的那個他,
真正屬於她的那個他。
甚至,可以用自己的生命來愛她保護她的那個他。



縱然經歷了許多的逃避、分析、懷疑,
再逃避、分析,然後逐漸選擇相信。。。
不算太長可也不短的一個過程,
終究,還是緊握了彼此的手。








放開了胸懷,攤開來分享心裡最深處的想法,
心與心的距離,拉得那麼近,
那麼讓人無法言喻的非凡感覺。
 
真正的緣分要來的時候,
什麽身份背景年齡距離,
無論什麽差距也擋不住,
那麼奧妙,也那麼美妙。

感謝上天終究為她帶來了這一份人生的珍貴禮物,
一份真愛。

謝謝他愛她。
也謝謝她自己,選擇了相信。

或許前方有許多預知的隱憂和未知的障礙,
她願和他,
攜手渡過。


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
我見證了,感動了,
所以提筆記載了。

~筆于2012年8 月13號晚上,
回家的路上。

6th August 2012 ~ 農曆六月十九

今天是回教的Nuzul Al-Quran,
也恰巧是觀世音菩薩成道日。
或許祈禱
膜拜的方式不一樣,
可是祈福發願的能量總是正面的匯集。


香燭、鮮花、蓮燈、茹素,
是我與家人藉農曆六月十九這一
天揣摩和儲存正能量的方式。
虔誠和謙卑地,合十。

Rainbow ~ 雨過,應該就會天晴的

誠然,人生本來就和天氣一樣陰晴不定,難以預測,
不然,何來“天有不測風雨,人有旦夕禍福”之說。

近些日子,圍繞在身邊的,
有讓人措手不及的不幸,
也有令人無限唏噓的遺憾,
更甭提生活上時不時會引發沮喪的考驗和挑戰。
一陣陣的雨,或大或小,
在晴朗的縫隙中穿梭,
避無可避。

Ces't la vie.
That's life.
Life is uncertain, just like the unpredictable weather.
Life is fragile, a sudden rain can bring so much pain to cope with the frailty.

感嘆惋惜感慨抱怨固然是人之常情,
可是更該磨煉的是在千變萬化的瞬間學習把握當下,
珍惜現有的一切。

在調整心情後抬頭的那一剎那,
那道雨後彩虹不是已經橫跨天際了嗎
雨過,應該就會天晴的。

The rainbow after rain symbolizes there is always hope in life.
We endure, and we learn to appreciate every single moment we are passing through, to treasure every single person we are meeting with, especially the loved one around us.

Yes, life is colourful and yet it is beautiful, just like the rainbow after the rain.
Can't you see it?
So, stay tough and have faith.

Training Workshop at the Extended Pudu Free Clinic

在倉促時間内為擴充后的慈濟半山芭義診中心舉辦的醫療志工訓練課程報導翻譯的英文文稿被刊登了!
Tzu-Chi Pudu Free Clinic is now fully going into operation after expansion. Kindly check out the related news!

http://eng.tzuchi.my/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1232:training-workshop-at-the-extended-pudu-free-clinic&catid=184:year-2012&Itemid=416


Tzu Chi Free Clinic in Pudu has recently undergone an extension programme. On July 1, 2012, a medical training workshop was conducted to enable the 82 medical volunteers to get a hands-on experience in operating the computerized Patient's Information Management System; and also to improve the overall medical service quality at the free clinic.

It is important that all volunteers carry out their duty with great care, sincerity and responsibility. To prove a point, a volunteer shared that "Once a patient came to our clinic and applied onto his hair the hand sanitizer thinking it was hair gel."

Expansion from one floor to two floors

Head of Administrative Department of Tzu Chi KL & Selangor, Tan Chee Wei told the participants about the history of the Free Clinic. It was opened in December 2007 on the 4th floor. After 5 years of operation, it was extended to include the 5th floor (originally used as Tzu Chi Community Centre). After expansion, more medical equipment and facilities have been set up, hence more manpower is needed to cope with the increase in patient load, as well as, the service capacity.

The extended free clinic, which is more spacious and comfortable, is now in full operation, providing a comprehensive and free medical care to the low-income residents and refugees. With the expansion, the Chinese Medicine section was relocated to the 5th floor, while the Western Medicine and Dental Service remained on the fourth floor.

The 5th floor has two consultation rooms for the Chinese Practitioner, an acupuncture room, a registration counter, dispensing counter, two counselling rooms and a physiotherapy room to provide proper care for stroke patients in their recovery stage. This floor also has 14 wireless emergency bells installed for patients to make urgent calls for immediate medical attention.

Brother Tan also emphasized that the newly adopted computerized Patient's Information Management System enables the operations on the 4th and 5th floor to be linked, including records of patients undergoing Chinese Medicine treatment. The system also enhances the effectiveness of monitoring medical stock movements and enables drug shortages to be replenished in a timely manner.

Training for new medical volunteers

Most of the participants at the workshop were new to the medical team, and they vowed to cultivate love by serving as Tzu Chi medical volunteers. Only a few of them had previously served in the free clinic as medical assistants to the Dentist, and Western and Chinese Doctors. The influx of new volunteers to the medical team has greatly facilitated the operation of the extended free clinic.

The workshop's comprehensive programme opened with an introduction to the establishment of Pudu Free Clinic, explanation of the rules and regulations, and the operating procedures of the free clinic. This was followed by an on-site tour, hands-on training on the computerized Patient's Information Management System and the SOPs (Standard Operating Procedure).

To ensure a smooth and effective operation at the free clinic, sketches were performed to show participants about situations that could arise when on duty. This workshop was also a good training platform for the medical volunteers to practise patience and understanding while handling different types of patients with their various demands, attitudes and difficulties.

A good opportunity to serve and learn general medical knowledge

The hygienic and safety aspects throughout the operation of the free clinic were also emphasized during the training workshop. Participants were told that medical waste can be divided into 3 main categories, namely, hazardous waste, infectious waste and non-infectious waste. Each type of waste has to be stored safely and separately in different types of containers to ease the subsequent disposal process. Proper waste management is very important in safeguarding the health and welfare of each personnel involved in the operation of the medical system.

Having served in the free clinic for many years, Lee Mun Yeng, is now the Team Leader of Pudu Free Clinic. She hopes that more volunteers can be recruited to join the medical team as it is a good learning opportunity to equip oneself with more general medical knowledge, practise the correct way of caring for patients, as well as, cultivate good karma.

Since his retirement, Wang Zhao Min has been actively involved in Tzu Chi's recycling activities. When he learnt about this medical training workshop, he decided to attend along with a few friends. Immediately after the training, he registered to serve in the free clinic every Tuesday. He said, "I have given my contact and also asked them to call me anytime that help is needed in any other time slots. My house is only about 15 minutes away." It is evident that this medical training workshop has initiated a great path for him to plant the seed of love in Tzu Chi's medical mission.

When Physiotherapist, Lu Shou Jie found that Chang Yii Yong, his junior in university, has become a happier person after getting involved in Tzu Chi's Medical Mission (She is now a staff at the Free Clinic), he decided to spare some time off his busy schedules to provide service at the newly established physiotherapy room at the Free Clinic. He shared some basic knowledge on physiotherapy with all the volunteers and also explained the procedures involved in operating the ultrasound device, the correct way to use a hot pad and so on.

To practise humanistic approach in treating patients

Tzu Chi KL & Selangor's CEO, Echo Chien, gave this encouragement to the participants: "The development of Medical Mission depends on the passion of our doctors, healthcare professionals and medical volunteers". She hopes that all medical volunteers will practise humanistic approach in dealing with patients, to be friendly with them and to treat them with utmost sincerity and care. She also encouraged the participants to be actively involved in the free clinic's operation.

With the clinic's expansion, we need more volunteers to take charge of the various work stations. To safeguard the health of our community, join our medical team; and together we are working towards the realization of Tzu Chi's Medical Mission.

First Hike @ Ah Pek Hill in Cheras

15 July2012,
第一次去阿伯山,拾級於黃泥路上,穿梭於叢林之間,
沒有很高的山,卻有一定的難度,
最讓隊友津津樂道的,
莫過於在攻頂后有湖蘭女中豪傑恩賜的六公斤大西瓜為大夥揮灑的咸汗水換來鮮甜的收穫,
那滋味很是讓人懷念
在上山時聼著寡佬敍述“阿伯”山名字的由來,
對於神話般的“阿伯”,想象那白髮蒼蒼一面爬山一面以洪亮聲音唱山歌的“阿伯”,
有著莫名的崇拜和暗暗佩服不朽生命的能耐。

未料,在下山時,碰上了有登山者在途中不支喪命的悲劇,
為“阿伯”山的第一次染上了灰黑色,很像當天抵達山腳時的天色,
很讓人唏噓,也感嘆生命的無常和脆弱。

感恩自己還有呼吸的能力,
提醒自己要守護健康愛護生命,
更要,把握當下。
阿彌陀佛。

A date with Whale Sharks @ Oslob ~ 與鯨鯊共舞

21-24 June 2012 @ Oslob, Phillipines
The date with whale sharks @ Oslob was simply amazing and unforgettable.
Being able to meet face to face with the biggest fish in the ocean,
We felt so excited and enjoyed every single moment that we have spent together.
We had eye contact with them, we observed how they move and being fed, we danced and played with them freely under water.
Their smile was stunning, their gesture was gorgeous,
And in overall,
The experience was hilarous!
















這一季的端午節,和鯨鯊一起渡過了喲!^O^
和好幾只鯨鯊在海底暢泳、戲水,
一圈又一圈、
一遍又一遍。。。
麼親密的接觸,
那麼炫目的斑紋,
那一顰一笑那麼地迷人,
那婀娜舞姿那麼地震懾,
那呼吸的頻率那麼地清晰。。。
痛快,痛快,太痛快了!

Mount Kutu Hike 之上山下河過橋攀岩記 030612

A sunny Sunday @ 3 June 2012, conquered Mount Kutu@ 1053 meter in 8 hour return trip.
冬眠了近半年后重新舒展四肢喚醒心肺功能挑戰體力極限的孤獨山之征!
Took many many many deep breath...
No kutu but attacked by many many leeches and ants and even BEE! 
Worthwhile though especially when we got to see the spectacular 360 degree view up there from the top of hill.
 
在山頂沏茶吃粽子啃西瓜的感覺還真是棒棒棒! 
很想念大家在最頂端的那塊石頭上順時針玩旋轉木馬的那驚險刺激的時刻喲!嘿嘿!


最經典的是,從Kuala Kubu Baru驅車前往山腳的路上竟然看到原著民就真的以天為蓋,以地為盧,在大馬路悠閒地睡覺!


Half hill (check-point 5), took a rest under the huge stone!
       山頂上360度俯瞰山河水壩!讚!            





排排坐,坐定定,一二三,順時針,向右挪。。。咱們在山頂下狹窄的石頭上玩起旋轉木馬來啦!









Special thanks to buddy and yy for sharing the photos! ;-)
