Meet Professor Doherty - Nobel Prize 1996 winner








If you don't know who Professor Doherty is, you probably live like a frog under a well. (joking)

Today, I had attended a fantastic talk entitled 'The Killer Defense' by Professor Doherty at Graduate Centre, Sunway Campus which lasted for an hour. Seriously, time flied fast. I wished we can have more and more time listened to this great scientist, Nobel Prize winner and a good role model (for me, he is).

In 1996, Professor Laureate, Peter C. Doherty shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Swiss colleague Rolf Zinkernagel, for their discovery of how the immune system recognises virus-infected cells. The discovery has had a profound impact on immunology, the treatment of diseases - including cancer -  and today's success in organ transplantation. Prof Doherty was Australian of the Year in 1997, ans has since been commuting between St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis and the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Melbourne. His research is mainly in the area of defence against viruses. Throughout his research, Prof Doherty's work has been marked by his tenacity, enterprise and enthusiasm for new ideas.

Prof Doherty also wrote several books, including the famous "The Beginners Guide to Winning the Nobel Prize" and "A Light History of Hot Air". He regularly devotes time to delivering public lectures, writing articles for newspapers and magazines and participating in radio discussions.  

At first, I thought venerable Prof Doherty must be like someone at the sky that we can't reach, as we know he had won a lot of awards besides the prestigious Nobel Prize; but, he is just so truly fully humble, respectful, smart, underprivileged, modest, nice and impressive scientist. He even thanks to a volunteer who helped him out with slide show presentation multiple times.    

Prof Doherty feel kind of sad when there are too few people working in the area of viral pathogenesis and immunity, too little funding, too many problems and too little time. 








Last but not least, all of us burst into laugh when Prof Doherty shared some of his funny photos to end the talk. He said he is just a man who don't know what to do with flowers. LOL.




He said he looked funny that time wore a hat with ears flying up and even hold a bouquet of flowers upside down.

Starbucks - Mocha Cookie Crumble Frap

Despite my most favourite Green Tea Frap, I would say that the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frap is my new favourite now. The barista added three scoops of cookie crumbles and three pumps of chocolate mocha sauce to my drink. I think the crumbles were of some kind of Oreo-esque chocolate cookie, but it was honestly hard to tell what flavor they were because the taste of the mocha syrup was so much stronger. At first, the crumbles were underwhelming in their contribution to texture, too, since they were blended down to the exact same size as the ice. As the ice began to melt, however, the cookie crumbles allowed the Frappuccino to retain some crunchiness. And I miss the chocolate whipped cream on top so badly.

Pity beggar



There is this moment where I couldn't forget ever, it was a nice windy afternoon as I make my way walking to a lunch, a poor looking guy drew away my full attention. Okay, to be exact, is a guy with all torn clothes and pants, very messy unclear hair, some half healing wounds at his head, thick moustache, bared foot. 

I couldn't left my sight away from him. Thousands thought in my mind. Was him abandoned by his family? Or was he get lost? How long he been wandered here? Had he eaten anything? First thing I remembered was I saw him lied down on a bench in the park besides sunway college shuttle bus stop. Must have been a tough day with hot pouring sunlight. The place he laid down was not shady. The heat like a hot oven. 

His action attracted me. He woke up and sit. At first I didn't know what it was. Looked like a prey that get trapped. He cried out all his tear in silence. I never saw a man cry without tear before. He stopped crying, was just sitting there watching people passed by in a little black-and-white day. 

He was like frozen, sitting and waiting. He stared out of nowhere, I think he just didn't know what else to do. He didn't looked at me standing there besides the park. Despaired, losing hope, being isolated by this world.




Just like that. Sitting and waiting at 3 in the afternoon.

我翻一翻白眼



就在回家途中,我经过一条四处无人‘偏僻’的走廊。

殊不知, 前面有两位保安人员,一个面向我;另一个背对着我。


我望过去,看到他也瞄过来,就在短短几秒的时间,我浑身上上下下被他盯着,从头顶盯到脚趾头,又从脚趾头盯到头顶。 幹!那一副死色相!


然后,他跟那面对着他但背对着我的另一名保安嘀嘀咕咕、嘀嘀咕咕。 


然后,他也瞬间转头直盯着我看。 超级幹!




我潇洒的稍微转头,然后,再直视着他们俩,我翻一翻白眼,再翻了很多白眼。爽!

在四月最後一天醒来








在充滿课业負荷的人生裡糾纏
最辛苦的部份
就是要不斷扶正不只一面歪斜的自己
每天起床固定伸个懒腰 


睜開眼就習慣性的用右手往额头拨拨头发
也不知道爲什麽要用這麽不協調的姿勢
可能在不知不覺中我也跟這種衝突妥協
反正我很常在堅持一些莫名的堅持




我真的蠻常不知道該做的是哪一個自己
你真該看看每天下课後的深夜裡
聽著同一首歌走著同一條路就繞在同一個胡同裡
那個我的表情有多茫然眼神有多空洞
原来一直打轉的中心叫做盲點




快要二十一歲了
我希望自己能过得心宽广闊些
反正就是最潇洒最自由的那種
因爲過去二十個年頭裡我發現這種人都活的比較開闊








  我的人生是需要等候的,等候一阵风的拂过,等候一朵花的盛开,等候梦中伊人的来到,等候生命爆发的强音。




快乐的人不是没有痛苦,而是不会被痛苦所左右。人生难免会和痛苦不期而遇,其实痛苦并不可怕,可怕的是内心背叛自己,成为痛苦的帮凶。




女伶需要整理一下自己的心情,忘记那些不愉快的往事,听听音乐,看看风景,说能说的话,做可做的事,走该走的路,见想见的人。


給自己的五句话:1、再难也要坚持。2、再好也要淡泊。3、再差也要自信。4、再多也要节省。 5、再冷也要热情。













- It's never been too late to say I LOVE YOU -

-话说-








 




若爱,请深爱。放棄,請徹底。等待,本身就是一個錯誤......
不要輕易放棄本不該放棄的,也不要固執的堅持不該堅持的。




看的開一點,傷的就會少一點...... 一個人要是捨得讓你傷心,就根本不會在乎你是否流淚。
所以趕緊收起你那卑微的淚水。洗洗臉、刷刷牙,該幹嘛就幹嘛去吧......



許多事情,總是在經歷以後才會懂得,如感情:
錯過了,遺憾了,才知道其實生活並不需要這麽多無謂的執著......



秋天,殘忍的季節,成熟不成熟的都要一同收割。
一切都會在秋冬交替的刹那間隨風而逝,
唯有那一泓鲜亮山溪般的記憶永遠在我心中嘩嘩流動......



珍惜手邊的幸福,不要等到失去以後才悔不當初,也許。
你的一生也就只有那麽一個人會真正用心在你身上......



人生就像一列車,車上總有形形色色的人穿梭往来。
你也可能會在車上遇到很多有缘分的人,
但當車停下來的時侯,總會有人從人生這列車上上下下,
當你下去的時侯揮揮手,一轉身你能記住的只有回家的路......



有的人你看了一輩子,卻忽視了一輩子。有的人你看了一眼,卻影響到你的一生。
有的人熱情的爲你而快樂,卻被你冷落。有的人讓你擁有短暫的開心,卻得到你思緒的連鎖。
有的人一厢情願了N年,卻被你拒絕了N年......



不要欠朋友太多東西,因爲你可能永遠都没有機會還他......
經歷過的永遠不會從来擁有的只有回憶。
朋友請珍惜身邊所擁有的一切吧!








- 可以從隙缝中開花,會是黑玫瑰嗎?-
-向日葵,只要面对著阳光努力向上,日子就會變得更美好。-

Laugh at Comical Joke



          A man with a huge grin approaches a priest. "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned," he says. "I've spent the week with seven beautiful women." 
          "Do not fret, my son," said the priest. 
"All you need to do is take seven lemons, squeeze the juice into a glass, and drink the juice."
         "Will that cleanse my sin from me?" asked the man incredulously.







         " No," replied the priest. "But it'll wipe that stupid smile off your face."









Beginning of 2012...
