Beijing Olympic is getting closer day by day. I remember last October I went to Beijing for a conference, they are still constructing the "Bird Nest" stadium.
I am quite touched by this song, 北京欢迎你, and I was told that there is another version done by the elderly from china, anticipating their olympic dreams. Read HERE. The production fee for this elderly version is amazingly cheap, only RMB 500.00 (equivalent about RM 250.00).
北京欢迎你

Beijing Olympic is getting closer
Revealing my new house........
Have been a busy month, and I am aware that I didn't post many blog entry for the whole month. Basically I was busy with a few things on hand, 1) Moving to a new house, 2) Busy with experiments, 3) Busy with my literature review and 4) Busy with my Soka Gakkai activities.
Status report
1) New house - settling nicely with my very good housemate Thomas.
2) Experiments - it is a never ending process, progressing and promissing
3) Literature review - Yahoo!!! I finally finish my whole draft and my supervisor is reading it now
4) Soka Gakkai activities - So much to learn, and so happy to learn it. Basically we are learning how to respect each and every individual's buddha nature.
So this entry, I will mainly focus on my new house.
I know many of my friends and family in Malaysia have not seen my new house, and I shall talk more about it. On 20/7/2008, Thomas and I had invited some soka gakkai members to gather in our house as a house warming. It was a pot luck style gathering, so we bring our own food and just mingle around with friends.
In the morning, I went straight to Victoria market to buy some vegetables. I wanted to cook Hainan Chicken rice (without chicken) haha.. I was informed that Grace was cooking curry chicken, and so I just thought chicken rice (rice only) will be a good combination to go with the curry. And so I did cook oil the rice, and and mom, you will sure proud of me if you try the chicken rice haha...
And eventually, there are so many people coming to our place, and they brought so much food, more than even all of us can finish...
And so, everyone had fun, and really encouraging each other while satisfying their own stomach with the superb food that everyone brought to our house.
After all these people had a full stomach, they start to mingles with dogs as well haha... This pair of dogs belong to Johnson, I am not good in taking care of dogs... if you want someone to take care of your cells cultures, then yes, you found the right person for your job.
Haha, when you persist to read until the very end, I know what you are thinking now..... You must me thinking how my room looks like....

The end, will be another journey's beginning
Today I had received a shocking news, about my student in Monash. He decided to terminate his life, due to unknown reason.
I am quite close to him, as he was in my lab when I was a demonstrator in Monash. He was a good student and very cheerful person. I enjoyed talking to him. Here and here for the story.
Just earlier before I receive this shocking news, I had a realization of the wonder of life.
As there was a talk given in my institute, talking about gene, circuit and movement. I was amazed how complex our body works, and to walk properly, it took so many circuit to coordinate flawlessly. In our body, there are about 30,000 genes. Through the developmental process from embryo to a baby, all these genes must work in a synchronized patten only can form a wonderful person like you. Then these 30,000 genes must coordinate and then to maintain their function when you are growing or alive. So it must be a miracle when you are still a life, while the probability of all these 30,000 gene to work completely fine is (1/2)^30,000. (This is still without counting the time for every second). So being alife is really wonderful, and getting every neuron circuits work nicely is also wonderful.
However, there are too many people who doesn't realize this, and thought the whole world owe them all. Life if too short to begrudge, and we must life a happy life. See only the best in you and in others, and never give up to be happy.
My dearest student, Nick, Hope your life goes back to the universe and rest in peace.
I wish I could have more dialogue with you, so that I could carry your burden together with you, give you hope and courage. The end of your life, is another journey's beginning.
I will sincerely chant for you to so that you will have compassion, courage and wisdom in your life no matter where you go or reborn.
Nam myoho renge kyo, Nam myoho renge kyo, Nam myoho renge kyo.

I have move from Graduate House
Bye Bye to my luxurious room in Graduate House.
I have move out from the 5 start room and start renting an apartment with my friend Thomas. So it is more economical and we have settled in nicely.
