2008 - A glance at my foot steps.

2008年，我并没有一个很特别的一年，来来去去都是在大学读书，有的照片都放在部落各了。在2008年的最后一天，我回想起我四年前的足迹，一步一步、并肩作战的岁月。

最近有一位老朋友向我拿了一些照片，那些照片是大约四年前在团体的照片。没多久后在他的部落各就出现了一片有关到我们团体的文章，其他两位老前辈也有在他们的部落各提到有关团体现在的状况，我已经脱离团体接近5年，失去有关近况也大概两年了。说真的，如果有人现在问我，三德和团体现在是怎么样，我只是一个摇头。是我变得冷血，还是我已经和在怡保的朋友失去联络了，或则是三德和团体已经差得没有的再差了，让我们这一班长老选择了放弃？

以前还在三德的时候，一得空就回去，就算没有事情做，也想逗留在学校范围，什么原因？我只能告诉你这种感觉就叫做“归宿感”，它是很奇妙，那一种力量不是在任何人都有，也不会在任何学校都有。这也使到了对三德有感情的学生，写下了无数现在对三德的遗憾，有时自己看到了，也只能摇一下头、心淡淡地，关掉它、避开它。

这也让我去看我自己电脑拥有的照片，现在看回，我心里告诉了我，我真的很想念2004年的日子。那些的日子，比起 Form 1 到 Form 3 的日子，领导层不是很容易做，但是有了一班知己，再辛苦的日子，也变成微笑的回忆。

最后一次，以Members的身份作为Camper，有那一种不想训练营完毕的感觉，宁愿不睡觉，宁愿受罚，宁愿睡地上、睡草地，以天为被、以地为床。
长青裤的日子，不是每一个人都会体验到，但是我们又尝试过。
太阳底下，比赛只是另一个相聚的日子。
2004年第十一年连续总冠军，没有你们的努力、支持与精彩，都不会有那一天。

虽然我们每一位都是大约十六岁，已经能举办校外的训练营。交权日，毕竟我们必须把权力交给下一代，他们也是有资格去学习领导，把急救的精神传给下一代。

白色的制服，现在只能在衣橱里挂着。


Seniors，你们的角色也并不小，笑声是你们带来的，团体里的部门，也被你们带的有声有色，谢谢。
Main Comms，辛苦你们了。
Section Leaders，能和你们三个一起带起四个Section，带着那一班需要培养的后背，还有重要的部门，是我的荣欣，谢谢。
兄弟们，如果时间是能倒回的话，我会是第一个在2001年USST Orientation Day等待你们！

Youth 7，万岁！

勇气

曾经有过这一故事，

某一天，有一位朋友突然间约我和他赛跑。我当然不是只因为他笑我不够力气而上当，反而因为他的另一句话，令我不禁反问自己，究竟在我们平凡又安定的生活之中，我们是不是失去了勇气，去挑战一些我们自以为不需要做，又或是做不到的事。

其实，勇气和承担本来就是一对兄弟，如果你觉得自己早已经失去了勇气，又或是你早已经忘记了何谓是承担，否则勇气它不会白白在你心中消失。

正如有人以为，有胆量去了结自己的生命，这样就叫做有勇气，但是我相信，最后他们会明白，面对生命，坦然接受亲人、朋友的关怀，这一份承担，本身就已经是一种很大勇气的表现。

在我们的世界，并非每次都需要一个漫画英雄来拯救世人，因为我们也可以在我们自己生命里，某年某月某件事中，做自己的英雄。

看过无数的人们，都会在无时无刻做一些非常特别的事物，有时我也会反问自己，我的勇气去了哪里？我敢说以前有多么的疯狂，是否身边已经没有知己，就连那一份勇气也逐渐消失，让心里告诉了自己，不需要做一些自以为没有这一个必要的事，平平淡淡的过日子。

Platform 9 3/4 and chemistry.

While I'm on my way to Ely, Cambridge for my HFL interview, I had to change trains in King Cross Station. This is what I came across. My platform for Cambridge is Platform 9b, I went walking and searching for this platform, the main platform only have till 8, number 9 and 10 is on the smaller side of the building, on the way to the platform, there is this platform appears in front of me. Platform 9 3/4. Unfortunately, the magic world sealed itself after J K Rowling finished her book, at the time of closing up, I think there is someone or some wizard / witch trying to get through the platform and got stucked at the entrance, the result is as below.

My last lab experiment for Numeracy Skills for Forensic Scientist, which we have to prepare a series of dilution of standard Copper solution, and then run the test against some samples includes soils samples and a pill. I like these magnetic stirrers. All you just have to do is pour in the solution you have prepared and switch it on, it will stir for you, and you can adjust it's speed at your own desire. 

The white colour tablet-like thing is the magnet. The solutions we have prepared for Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. It's just another very cool machine that have flames on it when you "click" the start button and have a very fine capillary tube for you to put into your solutions, it will analyse everything for you. 

Finally, our well-known lab supervisor / assistant, JJ, I've no idea what his post is, but he runs the lab from top to bottom. Being busy with another group of students on UV-Vis spectroscopy.

Christmas with Assignments

Everybody (mostly) I know is going back to their home country for this coming Christmas break, we came to UK almost the same time to study, and this is their 2nd time going back home. Everytime my friends ask me when I'm going back, or just "scolding" me why I'm not back, more likely is accusing me that I have been here too long, and had totally forgotten what Malaysia looks like and had choose to forget my friends. Honestly, I do miss home, I miss Malaysia. But yet, I couldn't go back, I do wanted to go back, but it's just too expensive for my parents to afford it. Responsibilities is not easy to carry, when there is my little sister is going college after finishing her SPM, and my little brother always asking me to buy things for him. 

Anyway, back to the topic. The picture below is taken a few days ago (maybe weeks, I've lost track of the days due to spending everyday the same routine in library studying and doing assignments), that day just suddenly turned so chilly, when I walked out of my house, the cars are covered with icy ice but no snow appears around. When I reached Uni, the grass is covered with ice again. 

Here are some pictures of Christmas trees around the campus. This one is in the library main entrance. Library is my second home.

This one is in School of Physical Sciences, just at the foyer towards to labs. SPS student room is also my another home, will be there if library is jammed packed with students.

This Christmas tree is in Darwin College, the biggest indoor Christmass tree currently I had seen currently.

Back to Blog.

Here I am, re-blogging again. Just a few updates, term is ending in a week's time, but assignments and reports is still pouring in which makes my 2nd year's life of first term towards Christmas holidays more and more miserable.

2nd year of Forensic Science has more practicals on the really Forensic stuffs comparing to 1st year. Below are 2 images of the evidence I had been using to put whatever stuffs we had found, no matter it is in the lab of what we recover, or the "crime scene assessment" I had been gone

 through. Every evidence bag is correctly filled in with details, no spacing to be left, no mistakes, if you do made mistake, you have to use a new evidence bag while the evidence bag that you had mistakes on it will become a new evidence, which will be placed into another new evidence bag, complicated huh??? This is just the prevention to keep you out of trouble. 

The item in the evidence bag below is a sample of Mikrosil, which I had lifted up from a piece of wood that had undergone a series of Gripping, Cutting, Striking and Prying.

 The sample do show some very fine details on it when it is view under a magnefying glass.

As for the following 2 images, it is actually a big white cardboard with some blood distribution on it, they are categorised into Spurt, Pool, Drops, Cast Off, Smear and Spray. It is quite hard to identify them at first, but will get along with it as it goes. There is a protractor above the blood drops is that I  had told to calculate the point of origin of the blood, which will gives me a 3 Dimensional origin of the blood.

Lastly, this is one of the lab experiments where I had to extract caffeine from daily tea bags. The result of extracted caffeine is quite a lot though, even it's alkaloids are in there, InfraRed spectra shows that it is a high amount of caffeine you and I had been drinking everyday. Fancy a cuppa??

The result!
