A dedication to Ms Chia

For the very first time in my life, i shed a tear in lecture hall while having our very last Biotechnology II lecture at DKX just now.... can't help it, and nope, my distorted emotion is not due to elevated estrogen hormone. i'm just touched, so touched.

Do you ever knew some lecturer that will stay at college until 9pm? Do you ever receive a call from your lecturer just to ensure that you have safely reach your home? Do you ever know some lecturer that would made extra tutorial and lecture just to make sure that his/her student would able to learn as much as they can? i know one, she is Miss chia, the most committed, dedicated, caring lecturer that i have ever met.

Just now, she is having this last words with all of us, humor us with all those Biotech terms in her speech, eg. "it's fun to teach all of you, like PCR, it has 'amplified' my happiness too." , " i think all of u are 'mutated' and will never be the same as the person entered this lecture hall four years back.", "it's like 'Hybridization', you find your own clique and friends while study here', "treat your DNA gently, cuz life is fragile.".... it's so damned BIOTECH.

But, she also touches my heart by saying that we are her favorite class in her whole teaching life and she glad that she is able to teach us the subject.... i'll surely remember her principle for the rest of my life, (cuz' that's when i realized my cheeks are wet):

"Have A (attitude), always do your B(best) and C (committed) to whatever you are doing."

i'll never forget her generosity, the time when she spent hours counseling and advice me regarding my further studies in Proteomics, smiling so sincerely every time i greeted her....

Nearly flooded by my own tears until someone at the back shouted: "miss chia, we love you!" and everyone laugh and clap nonstop for the next few minutes...the whole tranquility changes from something very serious and sad to joy and happiness. i mean, i like this whole farewell thing to be more happy instead of sad cuz' it's good to know that although we are leaving this college soon, but at this second, this minute, this very moment, everyone will cherished and remember it for the rest of their life.

Thank you, miss chia, i love you too.

some one remembers my birthday each year,
some one brings me 'cool tea' when i fall sick,
some one calls me early morning to wish me luck for my presentation,
some one never tireless to answer my stupid and endless questionsssssss...
some one can see through me when i'm in bad mood,
some one never complain my hand writing,
some one stay with me and chat about life...etc,
some one willing to share her stories with me to boost my spirit,
some one likes to buy sweat to me,
some one teachs me lots about biology,
some one seldom say 'no' to students,
some one reachs my hand, touchs my heart, builds my soul.

Ah lok, Tammy and the rest of ACB2 friends, TAR college maybe not the best place that i wanna be, but still, it's the people there that are so great that makes me really feel so sad when i knew i have to leave TARC one day.Lecturer like miss Chia and others really dedicated their whole life to their students, and i knew that i can never pay it back with a thousand bucks a semester. Really feel thankful to be there with my coursemate at that time, at that very moment. Glad that you guys share the same feeling with me... susan

ericateong wrote on Dec 29, '04 Having the same feeling like you, and perhaps most of us are so touched by miss chia's words. Just one thing in my mind, I feel heavy to leave this college, all our lovely and dedicated lecturers, all my beloved friends, and all the happy moment that we have in this not too big but full of love TARC! I can't remember how many times I have failed to control my tears glands whenever I think of leaving.....dear Susan and all my friends in ACB2, best of luck and I gonna miss you all...

Its christmas eve

s 2:54pm, it's christmas eve...

i am sitting in front of PC (obviously), got nothing on my mind, no idea what to blog actually... so i might start off with how's my dayz recently.( am i imagine or what? cuz' i sort of hearing some pathetic groaning:"no... not again, not her boring story again!", bear with me, k?)

Well, hang out with Anthon, peter and the rest of their kOkker gang two days back at mamak, have a good laugh with them. they are damned funny, every time i hang out with them, i had all these surprises, maybe due to the fact that they are so different from my circle of friends, they are more open minded, cin cai, humor and hmmmm... cocky! ( that's the most suitable words to describe them) really enjoy their crazy jokes, bold terms and Manglish words, it's hillarious.... Anthon even ask me to pose for his car... man, are you kidding? me, the conservative, naive susan, wearing a tube and mini skirt with a seducing smile, ya right, in my wildest dream....

Last night, my cell group is having this christmas gathering.... it's a total blast, i do sincerely believe that everyone is enjoying it, i guess all my lipid was burnt due to that fact that i'm doing the BBq thing all the night, so damned hot, thank god for the fine weather anyway, at least it's not raining, sing some silly christmas songs, the song itself is not silly, it's just that we sing it in a silly way.thanks to my out of tune guitar, well, i'm so big head that i forget to tune my guitar and it end up that all the girls sings like bass and the guys sing like saprano....

And the story continues...the snow spay thing, which is totally a nightmare, cuz' it stinks!!! all the girls like shouting and screaming 'ARRGHHHH" all the time to avoid being sprayed.... and guys, like mad monkey running here and there to avoid being punch by the gals, in the end, everyone end up like a snowman. Besides, takes a lot of wacky photo too... i guess, it's a nice party anyway.

Tonight... will go to my buddy Hua san's sister's sort of bachelor party, the soon to be bride and bridegroom will be wed on christmas morning, that's nice...after that, countdown? sounds so typical, i've gotta think of something different this year.... still have 9 hours to go, i will think of something...

to my friends, mei ling and cher pheng, who went to attend the debating competition, MERRY CHRISTMAS!! you guys arr, always skip class one, never mind, as long as i did received your present... thanks for the sweets anyway... talking about my christmas present, i received 4 present already, HURRAY!!! got a santa music box, pair of earring, chocolate and a handphone cover.... cool, thanx to you guys!!!


it's 315pm, it's christmas eve......

To you who hurt me so much

i don't need any accusation to makes me feel more miserable.
i don't need to bear all those blames that you cast on me.
i don't need your judgment to prove my worthiness.

i'm really sad, cuz after all these time you still didn't understand me, not a single bit.
you dunno why i cried so pathetically the night we broke up?
you dunno why it takes me nearly a year to actually mail you again?
come on, you make me look as if i'm the most stupid gal in the whole world,
doing something that is totally worthless.

at least now i know, Ignorance is a bliss...

Christmas Act

well, i was working so eagerly on the christmas act now, well, it's a hell lot of work, but then, i'm really greatful for having such a great actress and profesional brother and sisters that are helping me along the way...

ling en, the greatest photographer that i have ever met, Gosh...his work is stunning... he catches every emotion and his photo tells story that more than words can ever do. well, we went non stop for two days shooting, i really admire Dorcas( the lead actress) effort and enthusiasm in this, cuz' she actually wearing his 3' high heels and climb here and there just for the sake of taking a good shot. and thank God for the good weather too, i mean it's not soo bright and sunny actually, the point is we don't want a sunny day!!! Ling en catches the change of tranquility of afternoon suddenly from sunny to stormy really well, O brother... I admire you man!!! ( have a look at picture)

and thanx to Eddie, you're my great brother in christ, he is so pro in the flash and web design and i really thinks that he gonna add splashes of colours to the photo.

this christmas project really gives some new experience to me, i'm actually participating as an Art director (hahaha... so called) and film producer at the same time, it freaks me out everytime Dorcas introduce me to her friends as a film director...

but then, film director... sounds not too bad

My testimony

i don't like to write testimonial, especially about my life, cuz' it's just damn hard to describe it all through words, but when there ia a little voice in your heart that told you to do so, i think it's better to oblige anyway...

i borned as a christian, raised in a christian family, started to sing in choir in the church at the age of 1 or 2. (can you imagine that? ;p) i was molded by God throughout my 21 years of life and it's a bliss, a bless.

For me, being christian not just a religion, it's not like something that you can read and learn through books, or else you can call yourself a religionist instead of a christian. it's not like something that you can use your brain to figure it out. sometimes, rational or logic just can't applied. it's not a philosophy or superstitious. If christianity is not a religion then it's what?

it's the relationship with god, it's about experiencing the work of god in your life. it's an intimacy, something that is more than a feel, it's a sense of belonginess, a joy of fufillment and a pleasure of being loved.

i mean, i'm a science based student, i study the fact that human decendent from apes (well, if you can't imagine that, just try to recall something like orang utan or those monkey that can talk in the movie 'planet of the apes') But its freaking me out everytime i think about it, my great great great ... grandpa is an APE! o please..... if that's so, why human stop undergoing evolution now? Charles Darwin, the father of the theory of evolution, he is the one that proposed all this, but do you knew that he become a christian before he dies, and saying that he regret for what he had done cuz' eventually the theory is wrong.

Can you believe that human is created by God? with only his breath and a pinch of sand? i believe that, it's a faith, a faith that sees beyond the thing that can be seen.

i still believe.

The loo

Four years in KTAR and i never realized this funny thing about the toilets beside the staircase connect to block K.

Well, it all happen while hangin out at desa view mamak.... these two damn funny guys told me that the partition of the toilet is too low whereby they can actually peek out easily and see everyone doin their own 'business', so they have to lower their back a bit to avoid such embarrassment.

i was like, "why did i never thought of it?" cuz' the girls toilet is the same situation as in guy's toilet, and the more i think about it, the more funny it sound... so three of us laugh like a mad horse due to realization of such a stupid fact...
