The World I See

Great hospitalities in Manchester!

2010-04-04T04:40:00.000-07:00

On the very April fool day, I went to Manchester again for the 4th time because I have to attend an interview on the next day. Thanks to QX for offering her house's living room's sofa for a night. I wish my room has that kind of sofa, it is really comfortable as I can sink myself into the sofa fully! I unavoidably became relying on her in finding ways to destination like the interview hotels and bus stops when I was not there alone..hehe..Also, luckily she is nice, or else I will be so pai seh because I didn't inform her that my another friend LF might stay in her place too..Apparently LF didn't bother to explain the situation to her as well..that's really not I would have wanted or done but I apologised on his behalf before I came back.
Then for 1/4's dinner, QX, together with HL and AB, brought us to a korean restaurant named Seoul Kimchi. The food there has got a lot of varieties, combining korean and japanese and with reasonable price, compared to Nottingham! I guess having rivalries is always good for the consumers...The restaurant was supposed to be closed at 9.30pm. When we went there it was 9.45 already and they were serving their supposedly last customers in there. QX LF and I went together and HL and AB went before us and we planned to meet there. HL and AB arrived first and they were rejected by the lady boss because they wanted to close already. Then when we arrived, we didn't see HL and AB and didn't know they have asked already. So, QX went in and asked whether we can still eat. The lady boss said we can order something simple as she thought we are just three people. Then, HL and AB re-emerged out of nowhere and the lady boss said oh I got cheated! Haha..It was so funny.
Nevertheless, she treated us nicely. We ordred a kimchi, a korean style dong fen and 5 korean bento and nothing else but she gave us a lot of extra food, like a kind of cold korean soup containing vegetable, and another dish of vegetable with dunno what sauce is that, and 2 extra bowl of rice!! The chopsticks are really nicely designed. So we sat there and took this and that, I felt like eating at home because there were so much food that u can simply take and no need to consider need to share it equally among your friends!However, at the same time, we felt quite bad because they were supposed to close the restaurant d. HL and AB kept on teasing QX to make her feel guilty until she decided to help the lady boss wash the dish at least to let her go home earlier. Haha..so in the end, we were too full and were unable to finish the food and left a little bit. The lady boss said the dishes will be washed tomorrow by another worker. haha...lucky us..Then on the way back, HL and AB were still teasing QX to make her feel more guilty. They said what if the lady boss being robbed on the way she went home and also, her husband might not be happy that she went home late all that...LOL...poor QX...perhaps she won't dare to go there again...
Then on the day to the interview, we missed the damn bus for dunno what reason because we were early already. Then we decided to take taxi QX, LF and I joined by QX's friend M. The cab driver there was quite nice as well. surprisingly he is a White British as I have never seen White British driving a cab here in Nottingham. Mostly is by Muslim here. The price can be negotiated!!so we just need to pay 5 pound for a ride for a distance like BGP to broadmarsh!
So there goes interview and I think I am lazy to share here at the moment about the interview. LOL..but after that, QX and M went shopping immediately while it was my turn to enter the interview room..Girls really...hehe...Then when I came out and met them, something bad happened because QX lost her certs while they were kept in M's folder. So M felt very guilty and three of us went to police station together to report that. In the mean time, QX kept saying its ok coz it can be replaced soon if not found. After making the report, I went back to nottingham. Then at that night itself, QX msn me and said the certs have been found! So efficient in a way...
So, these are all hospitalities stories in Manchester.I think that's a wonderful place as everytime I go there, I can find something new, including the police station this time hahaha....But also thanks to QX or else my previous week will be crapper in addition to my abstract and guidelines deadlines....

25012010 The Beginning of An End(2)

2010-03-08T06:38:00.000-08:00

上个学期学了免疫系统，考试时好像很厉害那样，写了一些上课没教的，照讲师每次说的 Standard，这个应该至少可以拿个六十以上，可是我居然没有拿到。
无所谓，无所谓！
既然这样，也许是我学得不好吧！但我确实对它有兴趣。人不是很喜欢打打杀杀的吗？原来在人体里的免疫系统每天都与细菌这么做，做到一些时候，有时人本身反而被免疫系统害死。世界上也是如此，多少个人被自己的同类发明的武器杀死，已无从考证了。所以，我其中一个module 是关于各种各样的寄生虫，它们所传染的细菌及疾病，还有又是免疫系统。这个 module 里，我研究着到底寄生虫们能不能与人共存，从而避免一些人被自己的免疫系统消灭。有趣吧？当然，我其实是研究人家的研究，所以我也还没有正确的答案。但趋势确实是趋向好的一面。所以，人类还真应该向大自然学习啊！
在同样的这个科目里，我还了解了一些寄生虫及医治他们造成的疾病的药物。这是在我三年多的药剂学生生活里可以说最想学但又没机会学的。我们顶多只学了细菌，但都没学寄生虫，及许多许多的蚊虫，苍蝇等等。美中不足的是，我还是没有学到关于黑斑蚊及骨痛热症的知识，看来我回去做工时还得下一番功夫。
然后，说回那个presentation 的科目吧。我第一次这么喜欢自己完成的功课。我的presentation slides, 我看了又看，真的很喜欢，哈哈。。在这个科目里，有个解决病人医药问题的部分，和上个学期的差不多，但需要找出那个病人患了什么病，然后药物之间有什么问题，还有如何解决最泊切的问题，加上病人的药物有什么是可以改善的。虽然这个部分只占了二十分，但每次练习时我都很用心，因为这对我的前途大有帮助！

25012010 The Beginning of An End (1)

2010-03-08T03:35:00.000-08:00

不知不觉间，真的到了最后的学期了。25012010是这学期的开始。一直都很想写上这篇部落格，但都一直很忙，然后很懒，直到现在。。。
我会说这是最充满挑战性的一个学期，也最有意义的一个学期。当然，意义不代表说我学的全都是对我将来有用的东西，但在某一程度上来说，至少我没在或无法在课堂上打瞌睡，这已经是很大的意义了，哈哈。。。
以前上课，总是与至少一个人一起走，闹闹哄哄的，现在，变成都是我一个人在走，因为大家的时间都不一样了。一个人走有一个人的轻松，到了无论是班上，还是我的实验室，都是与不熟悉的人在一起，所以我现在就像是重新开始，只不过其实还在同一个地方，而且，我是趋向结束的开始。
有时，得到的东西不是你想要的，你要当作那是上帝的礼物。我时常觉得生活上，我们可以主宰一半，而另一半就交给命运了。我的project 就是这么一个例子。从来都没想过会拿到这个研究癌症细胞的，但就是拿到了，也不能换，也没什么啦，帮助我的人都很好，也许神知道我的手并不精于做事，所以他安排了一些好人监督着我。
这个学期可以选择一些课来上。我从来都对presentation 有恐惧感，第二年时，当讲师谈到这个module 要presentations 和其他东西做时，我断定我一定不会选它了。想不到，两年的光景就改变了我的初衷。而且，当我真的present 了，那成就感真的很高，当讲师说我做的好，我真的很高兴！也许，我从来都没有自信，这是命运安排来让我提升自己的。
另一个module, 是“谈生意”的。我只对前面两堂课有兴趣，因为后面两堂课那个讲师似乎把他们的成功将得太容易了，我还要和政府做六年的工，谈什么都太早了啦！

短篇小说分享

2010-01-09T05:34:00.000-08:00

这位小说家对于等待的观点与我的不同，但对于常见面，可以时常约会的情侣来说，她的见解却是非常正确的！

等待
---谢璃

她最怕做的事是等待，无论等待什么。

「为什么？」我问。

晚春的暖风扬起她软黑的鬓发，拂在阳光照耀的侧脸上，她微瞇着眼，眼神有淡淡的怅惘，她的美丽在那惊鸿一瞥的几秒，十分款款动人。

她说：「我曾经爱上一个男人，他总是让我等待。」

无论相约在餐厅、车站、机场、旅馆，她总是早到一步。

而毫无例外的，有关于男人可能不来或迟到的原因，在等待的那段时间，一一煎熬着她，令她坐立不安，频看手表，食而无味。

男人最后终究会来，带着软化她焦灼的迷人笑容，她霎时忘了方才的精神折磨，手掌紧紧牵系着男人，度过约会时心荡神驰的每一刻。

但是到了下一次，她仍然是等待的那一方，有时候时间长达一个钟头。

「到他来时，我感觉自己彷彿历劫归来，快乐里带着沈甸甸的疲惫，但他是吗啡，麻痺了我的痛楚，我占了下风，因为我对他上了瘾。」

她曾经试着晚到，比方说十五分钟，在不算太离谱的范围内，缓步走到约会地点，期待看到情人微露惶急的表情迎接她。

但彷彿上天在与她开玩笑，她看到约会地点依旧空无一人，男人比她更晚到，那是一种黑色的默契，她稳居等待一方的宝座。

「妳没有抗议过吗？」我问。

「有啊！可是没有用啊！」她声音软而轻，随风而逝，「他的理由很充足啊！比如加班，新案推出要和各部门沟通啊，竞争者太多不能掉以轻心啊……」

她垂下眼，喝了一口花茶，突然失笑，「妳知道吗？有一次，我干脆迟到一个钟头，临出门前，却接到了他的电话，他说他不能来了，他和国外的大老板要开紧急会议，约会得取消。我挂了电话，坐在地上，大笑了十分钟，笑到眼泪都流出来了，那一刻，我第一次感觉到，我们之间的牵系慢慢松动了，有一种东西，慢慢从我体内流失了……那是等待的动力，很奇妙的，我想，继续这样下去，我会干枯而死，像他家里窗台上的黄金葛，明明很有生命力的东西，在他有一搭没一搭的浇水下，竟然也枯萎了，妳说，妙不妙？」

我没有说话，因为她笑容里依稀闪着泪光，如果没有深刻爱与绝望过，不会再提起这一切，而且，那样的痛楚记忆犹新。

「后来，我提出分手，他挽留过，不过也就那一、两次，他说我不能体会他的苦衷，男人没有事业，很难有心哄女人，但一切都不重要了，我的生命，不能浪费在等待上，而且，是看不到尽头的等待。」

她笑了一下，又道：「现在的男朋友，从没让我等过，他永远提早到十五分钟，有时候，一走出捷运旋转门，就看见他站在那儿，紧盯着每一个穿越出口的陌生面孔，努力寻觅的模样，让我忍不住哭了。」

「那多好，妳现在快乐多了吧？」我替她高兴。

「算是吧！没了那种挂心和上瘾的煎熬，多了安定和舒适，我现在，也不再奢求更多更好的对待，我也累了，前阵子，在偶然的场合，我竟然遇见了那位老是让我等待的男人。」

「喔？还是以前那个模样吗？」我好奇起来。

「样子没变，手里多了一束昂贵的紫玫瑰，他在等人。」她声音很轻，轻得快听不见。

「等人？」

「是，等一个女人。」她咧嘴笑，贝齿粲粲，眼睫却眨动了几次，让泪光隐没。「我终于明白，所有的迟到，都是因为爱得不够深。」

那一天，直到朋友的男友接她离去，我心头始终盘旋着那一句──

「所有的迟到，都是因为爱得不够深。」

2009年的最后一天

2009-12-31T14:57:00.000-08:00

10.58pm, 本来应该努力读书的我，还是趁着最有气氛的时光打下部落格吧！
转眼间，在英国读书差不多三年又三个多月了。一年一年地过去，最像什么呢？哈利波特吧？每一个故事都是新的一年，新的挑战，而且最重要的是它的背景也在英国。我是读药剂的，那么最称得上哈利的potion 课。虽然我没有学习各种各样的咒语，好像以 mus 结尾的“ Lumus”和“expeliarmus",但我有各种各样救人药物mab结尾的学名，好像 "Omalizumab" 和 ”infliximab“！哈哈，是不是很像？
我真的不舍得当学生的日子，我痛恨考试，但我喜欢学习。人说学以致用，但我比较喜欢学，不那么喜欢用，因为应用就代表工作，是充满压力的。她说我一定是不舍得这里的女孩子，哈哈，她真的很可爱！因为这是一种矛盾啊！我当然非常想快些回去，因为我这里没有值得留恋的红颜知己。但，为了生计，也不是都能时常见面的，你说生活讽刺吗？
每个人在计划着新年的同时，我却更喜欢回味。这三年多里，只去过很少地方，而遇到的人不算多也不算少，但学习到的人生道理却不少！学的最多的，就是真正去站在另一个人的立场上看事情；还有，知道人性的真善美，更知道人性的伪丑恶！为我将来踏出社会准备一下。。
每天无聊的时候，学会了看报纸，我以前真的不看的。然后，读书太闷时，就拿周星驰来解闷，因为他的戏看了几百遍都不会厌，所以我看完了他几乎所有的戏。。最期待每个星期五，因为有死神的漫画，虽然有时太罗嗦，但我就喜欢装B的死神们，太有型了！
在我大学的第四年，一些以前的朋友已经不见了，真的让我感到天下没有不散的筵席这句话的无奈！大约八个月前，一位以前中学的死党来找我，虽然我觉得他可能最大的木的是要来诺丁汉走走，但，他总比很多来了都不找我的人，好上几万倍了！他来之前我们还通了几小时的电话，他走后我有种想哭的感觉，真的，好朋友没有多少个，千万要珍惜！
然后，就是每一年的暑假。第一年我就窝在家里生锈，每天就是看小说，与时间赛跑，看到我生命中的最后一天时，我可以看上多少本。说到小说，在这几年里，我也有了新尝试。以前，我不看爱情小说，认为娘娘腔的。但，自从认识了九把刀和藤井树，我觉得其实爱情小说也可以很热血，很真实，感人就不用说了。还有，因为是英国，所以只有英文小说，我在看完了若干英文小说后才发觉原来在来英国自己根本没有买过一本英文小说。在钟灵就读的我，那些密密麻麻的英文字总把我吓坏，哈哈！可是，原来英文小说也可以很好看的。
第二年的暑假是过得最充实的，当教师玩得开心，与她相处一个月，算是到目前为止我生命中难得的精彩。
第三年的暑假当了药剂实习生，没得玩，但每天等放工等得开心，至少比没做工好多了，哈哈！
在”面子书“上，有时偶尔会看一下老同学们的照片，很多都变得很成熟了，有些西装笔挺，有些长达飘飘（因为以前都是短发的）。总之，每个人都不再单纯，我只想趁着自己还不老的时候感概一下，至少要做些什么，都还来得及。
对于新年，我希望什么特别的，不过就希望快些见到她，然后生活上的非洲和尚请离我远些，那应该可以了吧！哈哈！新年快乐！

一则不到一分钟的小事

2009-10-01T15:50:00.000-07:00

一则不到一分钟的小事，却让我生气了一晚。
今晚是我期待的一晚。因为和一班朋友吃火锅庆祝一位朋友的生日，我应该很高兴。整晚的气氛还很融洽，而且也有说有笑。
但就在中间有一小段不到一分钟的时间，不愉快的小事发生在我身上了。
朋友A买了个蛋糕来，但他不舒服所以走了，临走前要求我向其他人平均地分配蛋糕的费用。我并不想一个人担当如此任务。。因为邀请人家来我已经下了一番功夫，朋友A在未经我同意就丢下交待走了，我就像被人“揾笨”一样。
但这不是重点。说真的，我不喜欢我妈妈时常说我做人很直，但现实生活上我却真的有点那样。我不愿意做，但我也不愿朋友间有纠纷，所以我就叫身旁的人传话收钱，并表明不是我要的，是朋友A要收回的。
然而，其中一个朋友却说：“我是不会帮你传的，要讲你自己讲。”
我一开始的前几秒还以为那是开玩笑，我就说：“哈哈，原来你的人是这样的啊？”
当她不以为然地说随便你吧，我顿时觉得我像个笨蛋傻瓜！我只是帮忙传话收钱，根本不是我的意思，她突然间那样的态度，我突然间很后悔为什么在邀请时会邀请到她。。。我知道我不是主角，只是这个女人，在选餐厅时已经诸多挑剔，在席间又那么不客气，幸好没多少人听到，不然我真的可能扔筷子走人了。
所谓士可杀，不可辱！我觉得她如果不要给钱那就算了，但也不用那么不给面子！
如果有人读了这篇文章，觉得我很小器，那么这个人应该去敬酒，然后被敬酒的人泼酒，那他就会明白我的感受了。
英文来说，收50pence罢了嘛，你pass around the message then WHAT'S THE FUCKING BIG DEAL?!ｈａｉｈ．．．．

An Interesting Malaysian Pharmacy Issue

2009-09-01T05:21:00.000-07:00

Below here is a post I found in a person's blog. He posted this three years ago and it is really funny that this chap here didn't really know anything about pharmacist but acted like he knew it.

The Blog title is WHY I DISLIKE MALE PHARMACIST IN MALAYSIA
Who is the president of United States?
George Bush. It’s so easy, right?
Who was the president of China?
Hu Jintao. it’s simple, right?
Who is the richest guy in the world?
Bill Gates. it’s commonly known, right?

Now, let me ask you,
Who is the vice president of United States?
Who is the vice president of China?
Who is the second richest guy in the world?

How many of us, can answer the first question?
Maybe 70% people can come out with the name “Richard Cheney“
How about the second and third question?
How many can answer?
Not much. Really Not much.

Why we can simply remember George Bush, Bill Gates and Hu Jintao? However, most of the people find it reasonably hard, to come out with the names of people that ALMOST play the same roles like Bush, Gates, and Hu?

Is it because those people are insignificant?
No. They are also great people.
They also play important roles that determine the well being of billions of lives.
Then, why they are not remembered?
The harsh fact is that, people tend to recognize the top and the first only.
If you are a guy, and you want to do extremely well in life, you need to be the FIRST, not second, nor third.

Back to the topic, Why I dislike male pharmacist in Malaysia?
More accurately, I dislike non-entrepreneurial male pharmacist in Malaysia.
“Non-entrepreneurial” means the nature of “not having/planning to have” his own business.

“Male” is regarded to your gender.

“Pharmacist” is regarded to those highly-trained and skilled healthcare professionals who perform various roles to ensure optimal health outcomes for their patients.

The reason I am going to tell, will make some people have uneasy feeling. You can leave anytime, if you feel offended by my extremist’s crap below.

The whole argument below, is excluding ALL entrepreneurial pharmacist. They who run pharmaceutical business are not counted as pharmacist in my term. I call them businessmen with privileged knowledge, which set up the barrier to entry for pharmaceutical business. I have pharmacist friends earning 5 figures monthly. I respect and envy them very much, they are my role model that inspire me to do well in my life.

With all due respect, non-entrepreneurial male pharmacists in Malaysia are just some powerless and cocky professionals. Yes, I have heard about the future, the separation of consulting and dispensary in medical field. This is great for overseas developed countries. I respect those overseas pharmacists very very much. They are true drugs experts with dignity and power.

It was two months ago, my girl friend, Amanda had an ear infection. It was a very common disease to her, she had been having that throughout her childhood. So, we went into a pharmacy called “Caring” for some pills she used to take. And the pharmacist inside, as usual, asked her some questions.

Amanda had sought for a doctor last time, she had the exact name of the pills for her disease. She told the pharmacist, but the pharmacist resisted to give her the pills. Amanda made it very clear that the symptoms are completely the same, but the pharmacist said that she could only get Panadol. Furthermore, the pharmacist asked Amanda to go for a doctor.

How many years are required to obtain a pharmacy degree?
4 years to 4.5 years in campus.
How many years are required to obtain a medicine degree?
5 years in campus.(excluding off-campus practice)

So you are telling me that,
the 4.5 years guy gives me Panadol?
And, the 5 years guy gives me everything?
The 4.5 years guy can only help me kill my pain temporarily;
And the 5 years guy can save my life?
The 4.5 years guy will scare and worry about their legal liabilities of dispensing wrong drugs, even the patient insists the symptoms are the same.
However, the 5 years guy will take up all the responsibilities and do what it takes to cure?

I’m not a medicine student, but I seriously feel that a pharmacist in Malaysia deserves more. If a pharmacist is just an individual that reads the piece of paper, written by doctor, with that particular drug name which the patient needs, we don’t need you to stay in university for 4 years. We just need an individual that can read English.

You are educated for 4 years, to make judgement and make money, not keep avoiding and worrying about breaking the chain of causation, for any medical law suit. If I tell you what I need, and you don’t dare to give me, then what makes you different from a coward that just make money?
If you just want to make money, why don’t you run your own pharmaceutical business, then I’ll respect you like a businessman with privileged knowledge.
If you don’t, then make your judgement. Don’t avoid.

You will argue that, you have studied so hard, to understand the medicine, in order to explain the ingredients and effects to the patients. For all the purposes I mentioned, I figured out that all of them are being done by doctors in Malaysia.
You will argue again, saying that you are in charge of healthcare. Frankly, I will definitely turn to a doctor for consultation, if I’m going to take any vitamins for a long period. Yes, seeking for doctor’s consultation for once, is going to cost more compared to seeking for a pharmacist, but we are talking about things that we put into our mouth daily, I will never want to risk that.

The naked truth is that, pharmacist in Malaysia is Jack of all trades, expert of none.
Your job is just a derivative in medical field.
Your job is just a job to lighten doctor’s burden.
Your job is completely replaceable by a doctor.
You are just another vice president of United States,
You are just another vice president of China,
You are just another second richest guy in the world,
whom nobody bothers to remember you.
You have chosen to be the second,
And it is a sad fact that, regardless of effort and talent, second place only means you are the first in a long line of losers.
You have chosen to dispense Panadol,
Instead of sending cured-patient out of clinic’s door.
You didn’t choose to be a boy, but you have made the choice of not being a man.
You have chosen to lead a life under others’ shadow,
and there you go,
You have chosen to be a male pharmacist in Malaysia.

This blog has been found funny by many readers and they shared with many of their friends.
So do I.

Here is an example of a comment posted there:-
ah.. jason liew, i just stumbled across whatever you wrote here by mistake by i find it very entertaining. i think you and your poor girlfriend do not understand what a pharmacist can dispense without a prescription, let me enlighten you about it so you don’t waste your time asking for oral antibiotics next time around and get all angry and start criticizing the poor pharmacists.
as a golden rule, pharmacists ALL AROUND THE WORLD, I repeat, all around the world and not just in ‘caring’ or malaysia are not allowed to dispense these without a prescription:
-oral antibiotics-antidepressants-barbiturates-cancer drugs-potent painkillers-diabetic med-med related to the cardio system
i admit, when your girlfriend had the infection, the pharmacist could have suggested topical antibiotics (as in ear drops)for her if her infection had been mild. otherwise,he did the right thing by sending her off to the doc. you know why? your girlfriend may have known thr name on the antibiotic pills but does she know the side effects and pharmacokinetics of the drug? bet she doesn’t unless i am very much mistaken.
why the pharmacist refused to give her the damned pills?number one, he is following the ethics.
number two , he can’t just dispense antibiotics as the patient likes because of resistance. know what i mean?the infection was caused by a microorganism, if she keeps taking the same antibiotics as she likes because she thinks she can cure herselfor does not finish the course, the microorganism can get ‘ used’ to the antibiotic and it won’t work as well anymore. you say she frequently has the same symptoms? think again, she might already be tolerant or resistant to the antibiotic because of frequent use of the drug and thus, the microbes keep recurring.
number two, antibiotics can damage the liver,kidneys (through which they are metabolized and eliminated) and some even pass through your brain and damage it. that’s why they don’t dispense antibiotics as they wish because patients think they are smart and use antibiotics as they wish for colds etc and poof! you might end up with kidney failure, get it? especially with repeated use and in doses larger than prescribed by the doctor.
number three, patients may lie to the pharmacist about their condition and sell the antibiotics to others. do you know the danger of this? the other people taking antibiotics without the doctor’s prescription may not know they have allergy and they can collapse,have kidney failure, low blood pressure and end up unconscious with brain damage(don’t think that allergy only comes as rash, redness, itching and swelling).
number four, there are several types of antibiotics depending on the spectrum. what’s a spectrum? it refers to the coverage of microbes. some antibiotics can only kill gram positive bacteria, some kill only gram negative bacteria. broad spectrum ones kill both. does your girlfriend know whether the ones she thinks she knows very well are broad spectrum? if she’s taking a broad spectrum antibiotic and is curcing the pharmacist for giving her the pills, then she is being unreasonable. do you know that pharmacists are not allowed to dispense antibiotics as they wish because they can kill the useful bacteria in your body like the ones in the intestines? the useful bacteria protect the body from dangerous infections. you use the antibiotics as you like, you kill the friendly bacteria and you can end up with dangerous infections . otherwise, the friendly bacteria can mutate and cause superinfections.
number five to why pharmacists don’t prescribe antibiotics as the patients wish. patients like to use it for colds (caused by a virus) and they are simply putting themselves at risk of side effects.(tetracycline causes permanent staining of the teeth if you didn’t know and as mentioned, kidney,liver and brain toxicity)
are you clear now why oral antibiotics need a prescription?? besides, a pharmacist is not allowed to treat ALL infections. Those like swimmer’s ear. fungal infections, middle and inner ear infections and those that involve hearing loss need a doctor’s advice no matter how well a patient can explain the symptoms. know why? because if one drug doesn’t work, the patient should not keep taking it for long periods. the doc needs to rediagnose and consider other drug options. not all infections are caused by bacteria, some are fungal and need antifungals. otherwise, if the patients are stubborn and insist on self medication (which is mostly hindered because pharms don’t sell antibiotics without prescriptions), they may end up deaf. but patients don’t or refuse to understand this.
***by the way, don’t think that pharmacists just read the prescriptions and pack the drugs. as they read, they detect mistakes and question whether the docs are prescribing the appropriate medication, doses and amount . don’t think that you can do this just because you read english,pal. english isn’t enough for this whatever your narrow mind may think. what would you do if a prescription said : Clarinase repetabs 3 tablets two times a day?? Since you say you only need an english expert as a pharmacist can you tell me the ingredients in clarinase, the max dose and if this prescription is overdosed??? i’ll be waiting for a reply , pal
they also ‘prepare’ the medication. you think all capsules and tabs are made by factory operators? did you know that pharmacists learn to combine the drugs and mix the together at uni? some drugs when mixed together some may just turn into liquid and how do you make a tablet then eh? the pharmacist is in charge of these probs. don’t think they are dumb because you just see the packing and labelling. they can open up capsules and mix extra ingredients as needed and perform dilutions.
do you know who dilutes and reconstitutes cough syrups, cancer drugs according to the patients age and weight? (by the way did you know most cancer drugs are unstable in water and have to be prepared with water on the spot by the pharmacist??) not the doc,the pharmacist .
who makes infusion liquids,iv nutrients, injections, suspensions,creams,ointments and emulsions like cod liver oil when you need it fresh on the spot? the pharmacist.
the doctors may be experts at anatomy and physio, stiching and diagnosing as well as know the drugs for each condition(sure they save lives, no denying).
however, the pharmacist also knows enough on phsiology and how the drug works(how else would you know how the drg affects the body?).
and who’s the expert at memorizing the side effects, half life , chemistry (yeah, chemical structures are related to how well a drug works and the side effect), toxic reaction, the solubility in fat ( fat soluble drugs remain longer in the body and increase efficacy but also prolong side effects), the dose calculation based on age, body surface and weight, how fast the drugs are eliminated and through which organ, which organ the drug penetrates into etc…who knows all this if not the pharmacist??
who knows the various generic drugs and recommends them to the docs so that the patients can pay less and still be treated as effectively? the darn pharmacist that you dislike.
are you clear about the word ‘pharmacist’ now? don’t think they are dummies in the hospital just following the docs or in the community pharmacy just gaining profit and denying you your oral antibiotics. they can also work in the industry as bosses overlooking the quality of drugs made.
oh yeah, who does research trying to invent new drugs? the pharmacist specializing in medicinal chemistry. i have no doubt docs save lives after 5 yrs of study, and i salute them for it. but remember, the docs make mistakes too when prescribing . if the pharmacist does not detect and correct the mistakes in the drug name, doses and administration route… patients die. ever heard of a certain doctor prescribing intracranial cancer drugs instead of intraspinal and causing the patient to die??
by the way. who do you think check the supply of drugs in the hospital, estimates the amount needed especially for the emergency and operation room and places the order? certainly not the doc. and who checks whether the drugs are stored as instructed at temperature xxx, room humidity xxx, away from light, in the freezer? the pharmacist, you think all drugs go on the shelves? what about vaccines, antidotes,biotech drugs?? the despised pharmacist does all these. but you don’t see all this do you? you only see them counting, packing and reading
so… in conclusion, mr jason liew… don’t go around criticizing as you like if you haven’t done your research properly. unfortunately for you, whatever you write here may backfire and emphasize the narrow-mindedness, the ignorance and mulishness of non-medical people (which i deeply regret). don’t say that a person who studied 5 yrs can save people and the ones who studied 4-4.5 years can’t. they work together and what they studied in uni may be similar in certain areas but vastly different in others. thus, they each have the specialitites. ‘curing’ is not a matter of diagnosing and giving drugs but also monitoring so that other problems do not arise from these drugs,alternting the drugs if there is no response and giving the most affordable drug to the patient, get it? oh yeh, by the way, pharmacists get promotions too you know. there’s senior pharmacist, head pharmacist and pharmacist specializing in pediatrics, oncology, cardiology, endocrinology etc…specializing in the drugs of course
who’s the coward?? a pharmacist is a coward for refusing to sell you oral antibiotics because they are afraid to outdo the doctor?? good grief, if you ever find any pharmacist selling any of the drugs i mentioned above, it is illegal and unethical because they ar dangerous. (how do you think heath ledger, daniel smith, anna nicole smith and marilyn monroe died??-misuse and overdose) so you should report those who sell them without prescriptions.
lastly, mt jason liew… no offence meant but do not write about things you don’t understand without researching the word ‘pharmacist’ first. it highlights you’re ignorance, mulishness, tactlessness and narrow-mindedness. however, i enjoyed what you wrote enormously and i showed it to my friends, some of whom are doctors and we had a great time reading it i’ll show it to others to amuse them of course. thanks for your opinion and remember, don’t waste time asking a pharmacist for oral antibiotics without a prescription. unless,the pharmacist is an illegal drugs dealer, of course.
by the way if you’d like to know… shiri is a 28 year old pharmacist way out in uk. and this reply was the teamwork of me and others… i just typed it down.

So, please enjoy reading this.

教书的日子(4)

2009-04-16T02:52:00.000-07:00

很久以前提到了5G 班，并说会写完的我，隔了半年我打算真的要写完，哈哈。。。。。。。
说完了华文和数学，提一提教生活技能的回忆。我必需教三班四年级的生活技能，一个前面班，一个中间班，一个后面班。前面班的人还是一样那么地没有问题，很快地就明白，毕竟生活技能只是个“玩玩下”的科目，没什么大不了。而且他们很喜欢做其他的功课，我也乐得答应他们，只要他们不吵，这种容易的科目我比其他老师教得快多了。为什么呢？因为我记得我小学时最讨厌弄课本里面的活动，比如设计包装纸之类的，不但浪费时间，而且做完了就丢，非常浪费材料，所以还是能免则免啦！
后面班的同学就差得远了，我教他们如何经商，但他们听得一头雾水，简单的算术有时也听不懂，更糟糕的是我第一次进班时他们居然一个个要求上厕所，够力！过后，我就不再允许他们上了，因为有些人去一次好像去了几百年才会回来，真是的！我无法想象他们的前途，因为有些连课文都不会读，华文喔！连华文都不会了，其他的语文更不用说了。当我没有教书时，他们大多都在班上讲话。有些还有药救的有拿补习功课问我，对于这些人，虽然每题都要重复，而且那不是我教的科目，但我感到有些欣慰，至少，他们还有学习的心，还有希望。。。
中间班没有给我留下什么好印象的，记得他们还没有做完他们的凳子，所以我必需看着他们钉木板，油漆等等。其实我那时候很怕，因为虽然我是老师，可是他们个个拿着铁钉与铁锤，那可不是开玩笑的，万一发生了什么意外，那绝对比上次教体育时来得棘手。当过了两个星期他们终于做完了凳子，我松了一口气。但教书时有一部分人不仅没有带课本，被罚站了还讲话！因为他们的凳子，我已经得赶课程，遇到这样不把我放在眼内的学生，我唯有“请”他们“滚”出去。有些人可能不同意我那么做，但我之前就是因为这些人，而遭到投诉，甚至在那两个月里，不知道喉咙痛了几次，还是不要让他们那么“有脸”，哼！
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
美术，对我这种什么细胞都没有的人，处理起来简直就是烂摊子。。。5B班是我先进去的班。同学向我请安后，我就自我介绍。其实我有些担心因为教案簿上黄老师要他们继续做木马，我真怕他们问我怎么做！因为我根本都不会！
但是，当我在想着怎么应付时，突然，“老师，你很像费玉清喔！”
“乱讲！费玉清即没有戴眼镜，又只会穿西装，我哪一点像他了？”
“你脱下眼镜，再床上西装那就像了啊！”
我打了声“哈哈”，然后就叫他们继续做木马。。。好消息是他们其实都会做了，有小部分还完成了，我就给他们打分数，蛮高分的，随便啦，反正我自己也不是那么会做。但坏消息是很多都懒惰做，或不见了，或没有带来，第一个星期，我就忍了。
岂知，第二个星期时，除了再有一小部分的人交上木马之外，大部分的人还是没有动静，最生气的，是突然有人说：“美术都不重要的啦！”
然后我问那位同学：“那拿零分也不要紧吗？”
她说：“对啊！”然后她继续讲话。
我不再多说，拿出名单，真的给了她零分。在下课后，我向他们的班主任投诉了这个问题。。。哈哈，原来我也可以投诉。。。。。。。。

进回5G班，对于美术，他们这班就不同了。他们超有兴趣的，因为不用动脑筋啊，哈哈。。。。但对我来说，我就必须确保我会教。他们当天需要缝一顶爱国鸭舌帽。我在前一个周末里，就自己坐在家缝了一整天，然后感叹“少小不努力，老大徒伤悲！”，因为以前我的美术都是妈妈替我做的，哈哈。。。。
幸好，我总算缝出来了，所以每当他们问我时，我至少还会示范，要不然真是丢脸了。。。。原来中学在KH学的缝衣的方法是有用的，可以用来骗小孩，哈哈！
然后，时间总是会过，很快地，就是我回来英国当回学生的时候了。说是这么说，但我是个“老学生”了。有这么一个感慨，是当一天我在教书时，有一位同学不专心，一直在讲话，所以我“请”他出来教，然后我就去坐他的位子。当然，他不会教，只能站在外面发呆。当我坐在他的位子时，班上的同学都觉得很好笑，然后还说我太高了。
对啊，这是我平时站着讲话时不知道的，也是在我大学里的桌椅意识不到的。可能有些人会说，这是明显的，对，没错，但体会到与发现到的感触，其实是有着天渊之别！
临走前，5G班的同学送了我一盒巧克力和一些卡，哈哈，他们还真有心的。也许成绩不那么好的同学，他们更拥有懂得尊敬老师，及记得你所做的一切吧。。。人的本性，从小，其实就是那样，所以长大了，我们才会碰到这种趋势的现象。

Time flies....Now is 2009 already and I am still not finishing my blog about teaching...haha...but anyway, update and refresh a bit about what I have encountered recently and the years before respectively.....
10 years ago... oh my God 10 years already( din even realise if i din type this blog), when i 1st entered the secondary school, I met quite a lot of people who really bahave weirdly as if their only purpose of living in this world is to humiliate and make fun of people.
Alright, there was short skinny guy....Everytime I looked at him a monkey will come into my mind....haha...Everytime he saw me he sure wants to say sth bad to me, or did sth that will make me angry such as stepping on my bag if i put it somewhere else during PJ and then ran away. Luckily after sometime, I did manage to step his bag back but din do it on purposely, I just din see the bag was there.....Then he got mad and shouted at me.....Can u see how funny is this? He doesnt like it but he did it on other people.
Then, there is another guy who is hated by quite a lot of people. Sometime when he talked to me, he will begin with' hey man, u better be careful! U dun challenge me or I will let u know the consequences....' (weird right?). I just ignored it like he is crapping.....Then got once, when went to tuition, I went to sit beside him as his row is empty and the place is quite in front....Then when I just sat down, he asked me to go away loudly, saying that he has reserved the place for his friend. Then I just ignored him, thinking that I have the right to sit in whateva place I like since I have paid the tuition fee and I reached earlier. Then he started to curse a lot of bad words starting with p and c one. In front of us the row was filled with girls and the girls all looked back to what happen. Maybe this made him even eager to curse more but I continued to ignore him. Then after that, he knew this has no effect and he changed his seat to another row....Well, this is how to treat weird and kinda shitty people.....Nothing happened also, he din beat me up or anythg, fuck him with his consequences....haha....
Then, 5 years ago, when I entered my college, there were 3 guys who like to make fun of people as well....They laughed at a guy who can't pronounce the word 'fun' properly.... and quite always criticised other people like" hey, I think you are very ugly"....too straightforward right?(it is never too good to be too honest actually.) I think everyone will agree that this statement may hurt to some point. I can assure you they were not kidding during that time, they just want to insult people and perhaps create some quarel....Weird right?
Those are histories and those are just a few quite extreme examples that I have faced.... I mean, not those guys like samseng, those are normal if they create chaos....But the examples I said just now were....These guys may dressed smartly and they looked normal....But I think some damage to their frontal lobes may cause them to their misbehaviours....haha....
But those cant be compared to what I have faced in uni.....One even greater than all of the bad behaved guys added together....will update later...

Feeling after being beaten

2008-11-21T16:21:00.000-08:00

Ok din update for a long time, I will continue my teaching story sometime later to make and ending.
Before that, I have heard a story from my friend when washing cloth just now, so felt like blogging it because there are many kinds of feeling arose after hearing that damn story......
Ok it was like this. There were 2 very good friends, I will name them A and B here.
One night, they just walked and talked randomly and happily from outside to A's room as B wanted to borrow something. Then, they met a bunch of drunk people like......5 to 6 people. One of the drunk people asked A and B angrily : Hey, what the fuck are u looking at?!!!"
Then A and B said nothing. They didnt really look at them also actually, just because they were heading to A's home so need to head that path, so they ignored the drinker. Then the drinker started to rush towards A and gave him two to three punches on the ear. On the ear because A avoided to be punched at the middle of his face. Then B tried to help of course, he yelled at the guy and said we're sorry. What he ended up ? He ended up beaten by the drinker as well 4 to 5 punches at the ear as well.
Then the drinker satisfied and they left.
There was a taxi there and several passer-by, they only asked A and B are they ok AFTER the drinkers left!!
Ok, maybe u dun feel a thing after reading this.
But I felt really unfair for them after hearing the story.Many questions started to arise in my heart.
Those drinkers are really a bunch of MOTHER-FUCKERS!!!
First of all, why they beat innocent people?
Secondly, why B need to say sorry?
Then, were A and B's action's appropriate, jz let them beat the fuck out of them?
Final questions, who can help them in that situation?

I really dont understand those questions.....Perhaps there is no correct answer. There were 5 to 6 drinkers, so in terms of ....maybe body size or number of people A and B are not in an advantage. But B din do wrong, so I dun thk need to say ok or sorry to them. Their action of not fighting back perhaps is appropriate, but I just felt really not worthy for them. what's wrong with B trying to help but he got beaten up as well.Sigh...
What will happen if the beating continues longer??
Then what will happen to A and B?Maybe is their fault to go out late at night, but what about the passer-by there?They just sat back and watched as if this is just a DAMN MOVIE!
NO ONE CAN REALLY PROTECT U IN THIS CASE. that's what I figured out.
U either RUN, or got BEATEN UP, or FIGHT BACK.
Well, weigh out the advantage of each one.
If the beating up continues, they really need to fight back, or else they maybe injured badly or even DIE for NOTHING!
The world now is full of bastards.................
Feel really sad after hearing that story...............Quite emotional..........Feel like kick those people's ass myself.........
But what will I do if I face that myself?
I dunno.....but really, do be careful!
let us salute B for trying to help his fren, A......Yea, at least, friendship still exist in this world which let u feel something warm though...............

教书的日子(3)

2008-10-12T14:48:00.000-07:00

又是新的一天，我已渐渐习惯了教师的生活，但这天是另一个新的开始，我在办公室的位置又不同了。与上次代替国语老师时一样，我“反射性”地把教案簿转过去看后面属于我的时间表，因为有了上次突然要教体育的经验，所以还是有些心理准备好些。。。。。
不看还好，看了我就几乎叫了出来。。。华文，数学，这两样都没有问题。。。。但是惊人的是竟然还有生活技能及美术！而且这次要进的班级更多样化了，因为教那么多科目。此外，我这次是代替去课程的黄老师长达一个月多，所以，她身为5G班的班主任，自然这个工作我也得代替了。。。想起来，自之前的代课，我得工作好像一步一步地变得越来越有挑战性了！！
最令我安慰的算是学生们下个星期将会考试吧？那么我的工作量就会减少些，哈哈，原来学生考试老师可以那么开心的！但是，我也考虑到学生们的情况，5G班耶！这个星期就帮他们做些复习吧！黄老师之前给了他们一些华文与数学复习的练习，这还算是一些她留下的手尾，我就帮她改了吧！
改呀改，改呀改，满江红的还真不少，我拟定了要解释及叫他们多注意的地方的时候，刚好也敲钟，是时候进班了。这次，我进班点名了后，我终于有自我介绍了，因为可是要与这班小瓜相处一段日子啊！我把练习分回给了他们，就与他们讨论，现在是数学节，就叫他们出来在黑板上做算草，反应非常热烈，看来中间班的学习态度还不错。。。之后我的解释他们都还有在专心听，华文节时也是那样，我十分满意他们的态度。。。
这一个星期里我不断地准备练习与他们复习，而起我吩咐他们一定要很小心地作答考题。。这些学生比我之前教的班好笑多了，那个班长在第三天就问我有没有MSN，可以与他保持联络。我本来说没有，但最后还是给了他。班上还有一个坐在最后一排的男生，他真有他的，每次都不叫我老师，叫我“EN TAO EH(福建话的英俊)”，我刚开始有用责怪的语气叫他不要这样没有礼貌，过后我索性在全班面前叫他“PAI KUA EH(福建话的难看)”，让全班人笑他，哈哈！

很快的，就到他们考试的日子了，有时会轮到我进班监考，期间发生了另一个老师跟我换进班的先后秩序而发生了一些不愉快的事，之后那个老师看到我也不打招呼的，真不明白她当了那么多年老师怎么这么小气。我大多数都是进我自己的班，这5G班的人呢。。每次做完考卷后一定不检查，然后就会互相交换漫画，画没有意义的图画等等。。只要他们没有作弊，我也任由他们，不要吵就是了。但是呢，有一天，一个人被我看到他传纸条！我走过去要求他把纸条给我，他给了。他不是作弊，这点很好，但是那纸条上有什么呢？是他画了一个很难看的裸体女子，然后画一个箭头指是班上的一个男同学来的。我二话不说，没收了那张纸条，等着给他好戏看！
时间到了，我收好了考卷，趁全班人都还在，我把纸条传给全班看，并指出是谁画的，那个画的人羞得无地自容，哈哈哈！太好笑了！！在我面前做这种事只有比死更惨的下场！
考试完毕后，我用了一段时间改考卷。办公室里的数学老师会先聚在一起调整给分数的方法，我只有听的份，没有经验就是这样。大致上，我都很满意我班学生的表现，虽然华文和数学都只有三个人拿超过八十，但中间班，他们及格已经是很不错的了。在这次的数学考试，他们粗心的错误比练习时少了很多，只有不会做的错误，我对这点真的感到很有成就感，我已拟定了计划，我一定要教好这一班，尽我的全力！
一个考试的结束，就是另一个新学期的开始，这是老师与学生司空见惯的。
“王老师，这个学期的英语数学你必须教到XX课，华文作文从XX课考到XX课，至于华文，就到XX课吧！”其他将会负责出下一次的考题的老师很快地就做出了交待。被比我年级老的老师叫我老师，这个感觉比学生叫我老师还怪，哈哈，不过随便啦，只是一个称呼。不过，对于其他老师，我都会叫他们老师，虽然是同事，但毕竟我在读小学时他们就已经是老师了，我没有理由不这样叫他们。
出来做工，总会遇到一些不如意的事，尤其是你遇到一些与上级关系良好的小人。当我正打算教好我的班的数学时，林主任告诉我我的班将会被另一个退休的代课老师接手，我以后多出来的空节将会被安排代替当天缺席老师的课。虽然我的工作量减轻了，但是我真的很不喜欢那个拿掉我的课的老师！她的理由居然是因为没有东西做而拿掉了我的数学。。。。没有东西做，学校怎么会请了这么一个多余的代课老师？我无可奈何地把数学书本交到了她的桌上。
不仅如此，因为我对我的班太好了，他们很快就爬到我头上来了。吵闹的程度真的影响了隔壁班的老师，我遭到了投诉，林主任要求我一定要控制班上的秩序。在“双重打击”下，我想到了达尔文的进化论，我想我再不做点东西“进化”自己一下，我就快被班上的猴子玩死了，所以那天我一进班，我大挥藤鞭，打了他们一顿，并把数学转给别的老师教赖在他们吵闹身上，他们听了也有些难过，因为他们觉得不打人的我教他们很好，现在我的节少了，意味着他们享受的日子也少了。。。。
进化论有待继续。。。。。

教书的日子(2)

2008-09-29T12:50:00.001-07:00

正当我在想着假期不知道要做什么之际，学校又打来了一通电话。这通电话是在早上我还赖在床上时打来的，我才刚睁开眼，电话就响了。原来，一个国语老师去课程了，原本找到代课老师了的，但是那位代课老师家里有事，所以学校请我去代替那位代课老师，所以这次我摇身一变，变成“替身的替身”。。。汗。。。。
我用了我可以装出的最精神的声音答应了林主任( 负责安排代课的老师) ，然后赶快跳起床，用最快的速度梳洗，换衣，并胡乱地塞了几口早餐，就赶去了学校。太赶了，所以这次是我坐下来了，看了我的时间表后，我才有时间后悔答应了的事。。。哈哈。。。为什么？你问为什么？那我告诉你吧。。。。因为我必须教国语。。。死啦，在英国那么久，国语早就变得很差了。。。不仅如此，我还得教体育！！看来不想想办法我是混不下去了，总不能临阵退缩。。。
这次挑战性增加了，因为那个老师没有交待任何东西。其实我只是“替身的替身”，很“咖哩菲”的角色，我不用教书也可以的，但是我很明白这样很难控制班上的秩序，所以我翻箱倒柜，搜完桌上的全部书，翻开全部抽屉，看看有没有可以用的东西。最后，我决定抄些Simpulan Bahasa的练习给他们做啦，我从两三本UPSR模拟测验的书中抄出了十题，希望有用。
第一个进的班，4D，应该还好吧，我又没有自我介绍了，同样的原因。我说我是来”代替你们代替CIKGU FAIROZ的老师的”，他们好像不是很明白，算了，又不重要的。我吩咐他们把练习抄在簿子里，我就开始在黑板上抄写。
“老师，你的字很美喔。。”(第一次有人说我的字美，他们真是天真)
“老师，为什么你的字那么大个？”，“你管那么多干什么？老师的字美写大个也没有问题啦！”学生都在那边叽叽喳喳地，我也没去管他们。。。不过都还好啦。。直到有一个，“老师，你的字怎么越写越难看了？”(真诚实啊，果然童言无忌)，我也没有生气，毕竟那是事实嘛！
好了，终于抄完了，我放下粉笔，去巡视看学生们抄得如何，因为他们真的很叽喳。有些居然连一个字都没抄还在讲话，我抢过他们的簿子，狠狠地用簿子敲他们的头，然后他们就赶快抄了，哈哈。。。
等到他们抄完，我就解释答案的意思，让他们填充做，他们有些真的很吵，我就命令他们当天交上，他们就变得很积极地做了，哈哈，真有趣！
其他三班大致上情形都差不多，我都有准备解释等等，所以我是不会在班上出丑的，嘻嘻。。。尤其是进4A班时更要保持形象，他们做东西真的很快，而且还会叫我给多些，幸好我都准备多余的，不是问题。。最够力的是5J，后面班了，我给么门的选择是乱排的，他们就照着那个次序照样填进题目里(当然有一小部分没有那样啦)，我真是服了他们。原来他们是连题目都不明白，读都不会读了。。。于是我得一步一步的教他们读。。。
好，换体育节了，同样是教这四班的体育。十年不变的规则啦，没穿体育衣的人不用体育，分开站着。首先，是热身，然后我就让他们选要玩什么，喜欢玩什么我都让他们玩，但男女各自只可以选一样。4D班的男生选了足球，女生就玩呼啦圈。女生还好，男生一开始就有人的鼻子被球打到，鼻血直流。。。真是笨蛋！球来了还不会闪。。。我当然没有骂他，我带他去洗鼻子，然后帮他止血，而且不让他完了。
不仅如此，这班的男生还答来打去，只因为其中一个不小心勾到了另一个的脚。。。那时体育节完了，敲钟了，所以我把那件事交给了他们的级任老师处理。
相反的，5J就比4D好多了，他们要玩羽毛球和跳高，全部东西都是他们自己搬的，而且没有争先恐后等事情，也没有意外及打架，但是。。。。。
“老师，不如你来跳吧，你站在那边看我们玩那么闷。”学生“热情”地邀请。
如果你以为那样就让我露出马脚你就错了，我根本就没有穿适合体育的衣服和鞋，所以我用了那个来当借口，哈哈。。。。我是故意不穿的。。。没办法啦，体育差就是这样。。。
其实还蛮快的，一星期又过了，但是这次林主任没有放过我，我被安排了代替另一个去课程的老师，将会如何呢？结果将在另一篇揭晓。。。别以为是发生一样的东西，这次，“我进化了”。。。。

教书的日子(1)

2008-09-24T23:54:00.000-07:00

假期三个月, 我第一次去做工. 做什么呢? well, 是当工程师，这个职业不错吧？不过我可不是建造高楼大厦的，我是去培育在未来可能将要建造高楼大厦的小孩们的灵魂。。。讲得好像很伟大，其实我是当老师啦。
假期的开始，是拍拖的时候，什么都没有想，只是很愉快地享受着悠闲的二人生活。。。然后，三个星期过去了，妈妈突然说，星期五你去学校教书一星期， ok? 我想都没想，就答应了。然而，不到五秒钟，我就后悔了。。。。我做事总是这样，明明有很多事我不喜欢做，但当人家叫到时，我会不假思索地答应，然后在少过五秒钟内后悔，再硬着头皮去干。。。但我觉得这没什么，硬着头皮，总好过厚着脸皮违反了约定。
星期五还未到的那几天，我都很担心，我不习惯站在人家前面说话，一直担心如果不会教怎么办？如果学生问不会答怎么办？如果学生太坏又。。。如果。。。。但时间是不会因为我担心而停下的，所以星期五很快地就到了。我带着战战兢兢的心情去上学，穿着好像在监狱学院时所穿的服装，快步进了办公室，着到了我代课的那个老师的座位就坐下了。我向周围的老师们说胜早安，然后排好我桌上的东西。印象中，老师都会有一本厚厚的教案簿，所以我就拿出来看看有什么可以做的 (其实是扮忙，那就不用跟别人讲那么多话，哈哈) 。
上天真是待我不薄啊！那个老师居然安排好了要做什么，我只需照着指示让学生做功课就行了，根本不用教书！！我心里暗暗高兴，想不到这样一天三十块的工钱还真容易赚！
“铃。。。。。”敲钟了，我慢步走向我该进的班(4B)。这是一间大型小学，一个年级有十一班，照着成绩分班，所以4B算是前面班。一踏进班上，椅子移动声四起，然后就是一声响亮的“起立！行礼！”，接着是拖泥带水的“老。。。师。。早。。安。。。”。这班有四十个人，男女一样多，我站在前面，听他们叫我老师，真是不好意思，心里有一阵声音说：你哪里像老师了？但我总不能呆站着，于是我也向他们说了声早安，并叫他们坐下。
我没有自我介绍，因为我认为既然只教一个星期，并不需如此大费周章。这时，“老师，李老师没有来啊？”一个学生问道。我说是的，我只是告诉他们我是来代课的，然后我就交待功课，并说有问题可以问我。这是好班，所以秩序很好，都在做功课，我真是幸运得没话说了，哈哈哈。。。。每当分给他们一个练习，我就准备要怎么解释。。。原来，华文字里有那么多汉语拼音我一直以来是拼错的，不教书还真不知道，幸好我都会准备怎么解释，不然学生问了我不会，就头大了。
班上多多少少会有些懒虫，他们的功课没有做，然后就没有交上。我每次改书都会算数量，然后在名单上点名(其实是在办公室没有东西做所以才那么勤力)。我的点名方式是在名字旁，有交的画个小点，没交的则没画，所以是很不明显的。学生们总是很好奇为什么我拿着一张空名单就可以知道谁没有教功课，哈哈，小孩子就是小孩子。。。。对于这些一条条的懒虫，我没有处罚他们，因为我只是代课一个星期，我一直给他们机会，我会说：“你现在有两个选择，你可以继续不交，然后我把你们的名字给你们的老师，或者你明天交上，那就什么事都没有。。。”这招不错，第二天他们就交上了，哈哈。。。。
讨论数学功课的答案时，他们会很踊跃的举手要出来作答，从他们身上，我看到了以前的自己。。。然后把目光转向文静的人，我就看到了现在的自己。我很好奇，怎么人的转变会这么大？明明小学时很喜欢回答问题，但长大了，人家在前面问问题时，我们连被叫到时回答都吞吞吐吐的。。。。
很快的，一星期过了，我向学生们说“再见”，但你们应该都不会再见到我了。。。由于只是一个星期的相处，所以大家都没有多大感情，就这样，我拿了一百五十快，结束了代替李老师的一星期。。。。
