Han Suyin (韩素英/韩素音): a many-splendoured woman has many splendoured name
At the province of Henan, China, a splendoured woman Han Suyin(not her born name) was bornon the 12th day of September(Mid Autum festival, 中秋节). Her mother, Marguerite Denis, a Flemish Belgian (reminds me of belgian chocolate..lol)who tried every way, even pregnancy to marry a Chinese engineering student, Zhou Yintong. Her father actually name her "YueBin" which mean guest from the moon.
According to Professor Liao Liandi’s article “Han Suyin is My Teacher”, he writes: “according to Han Suyin, Suyin means a low and unadorned voice.”(1) I don’t believe a person like Han Suyin who is so passionate and strong-minded will take “low and unadorned voice" as the meaning of her pen name. So I discussed this with her daughter, Tang Yungmei, who told me that according to Han Suyin stands for “the clear voice of the Han people.” The reason she chose the surname "Han" it's because many claim that the Hakka are actually 'Han" people(韩人）.
Han Suyin is a Hakka(客家） which does not denote a racial group, for the Hakkas are Han People, Chinese People. Hakka was a word applied to all displaced peasants, and only after the tenth century came to design a special group. Moving en masse these refugees from misery were 'people who sought a roof, hence called Guest People（客人）' which was more courteous than calling them displaced persons or refugees...”
My name - Irena Chua Su-Yin (蔡素英）
My mom got my name from this wonderful author of many great books that has inspired many people. My mom is from Kuching S'wak and is a Hakka. But my dad is a Heng Hua (兴华）a type of hokkian. So, I might not be as slpendour as Han Suyin but i believe my name has the meaning of simple(素) heroin(英) or simple and brave.
素- simple, plain, clear
英-(英雄)hero(female --> heroin), brave
and Irena? Irena, a russian name. It means peace..
Irena Chua Su-Yin means a peaceful, simple heroin of the chua? or is it peaceful, simple and brave chua?
haha

hello everyone, introducing my new breakfast solution
u see, im kinda lazy and always not wanting to wake up extra early to hv my breakfast. but breakfast it's soooo important!! so i choose ShapeWorks...taadaa!!
this is ShapeWork
got loads of nutrient...24 of them!!
formula 1..hehe
so its imported by herbalife...no need to search hi and low for this bugger...
types of flavour; vanilla, choco, cappu, starberry and banana i think....mayb got more..
very easy to prepare,
all u need: 2 minute
2 heaping tablespoon of formula one
milk of ur choice
shaker (water bottle will do)
then u jz add the formula one and milk then use the shaker to shake...and here u hv a formula one shake...like vanilla shake...yum~
serving suggestion: can use fruit juice, add some oats or fruits....never tried it b4 though..haha
here u go to all lazy but health concious ppl!!
wah! my camera on my new fone is kinda sucky....mayb next time will use the old one. sucky right? yeah i know..haha
i got very low marks for my other report again..but i know whats my problem.
However my lecturer is very sad and disappointed. i asked her if its the result that is depressing. She told me that it's the students attitude that upset her. She revealed that the students copy word by word from each other and they are utterly unhappy that she deducted their marks. but the marks are not urs anyway. none of the marks are urs. u're considered lucky to even get some of it. i sympatize to those whom did their work. they too have to face the consequences. well they shd know well, they r not helping, they r jz ruining those who plagiarize.
Well whose fault? Do u think that u dun hv to go through the consequences for ur wrongful act? u think u can get away with it once u've done ur report? Some student claimed that if they cite from the exact same referece, it would make no different. friends, mayb u should try it before u conclude ur hypothesis. i believe even if u try to get the web sites from ur fren and do ur own reference, u'll find that the end result is different. u'll definately gain and not lose.
u gv excuses to divert ur time for some other purposes instead. ask urself what is more important? R u unable to pririoritize ur task and responsibility? finishing ur report is the ultimate thing, its good that u r able to finish. however it is not the right thing. Do the RIGHT thing!
to those who allow plagairism: i know u sympathize them. but if u keep on feeding them then the more they will feel its alright. they know they've got food. they'll depend on u. later, u'll find that they've become so bad it is impossible to even turn them around. u must not provide fish for food to them, u must teach them how to fish. worse of all, if u die, then they also die. bcz no more fishes to eat. what u do is good, but not right. doing good is not always doing right. so, do the RIGHT thing!!
think abt it..whose fault is it that u r holding the result u r holding
today's time table...
wake up---> cook ---> eat---> laundry ---> sleep ---> wake up ---> cook ---> watch some drama series

I've got 2 midterm on Saturday, 1 midterm on wednesday, an assignmt due on tuesday and thursday each. I've sign up for servants training. I have to spare a week to go home to get my PTPTN agreement done. Too many stuff, too limited time. At first i tot i can manage it. I tot God will help me to manage it...but i cant. I tot i wanna stay back to study for the servant training weekend. I even tot of skipping thursday service to make time for my studies. i know that God will understand, that i have no choice, that i really need to do that. After all, He called me back to stuy, doesnt He want me to excel in it? I know He would bless my decision.
After many consideration, i decided to go for it. Despite the fact that i've got not enuf time to study, but i still dun wanna gv Him second hand glory. This is becz i know its my fault that i have no time to study. How can i blame it on Him. So i went for servant training. Mind u, with worry in my brain. But i never regret, i was so bless from it that i've grown an inch closer to God. God has spoken to me so much. That still leave a burden in my heart, bcz i may fail my test. i keep telling everyone i need time, but no extra time was spared for me. I beg God for more time, the only thing i heard was silence.
Is He still here with me? Do u still love me? I've done so much and He is not giving me extra time. I know its impossible but i was hoping for the impossible to be possible..
Then on thursday when i struggle to decide if i wanna go service, i cannot forget how i must continue to serve him even if i dun hear from him. FYI, i still have servant training the next day, friday (cont'd of it). I went to service. The whole nite i was longing to go home early to study. I never regret abit after the service ended. I was bless over and over.
It was then, miracle happen.
2 test tmrw..
a)Prop of Matters (pom)

Despite the cautious and abundant knowledge from the previous failure, i failed it again..I learned 1 thing, be very careful to the instructions given. Usually i'll just browse thru it or do it my way other than the one given by lecturers.see see see? failed d lor...sigh.. sad..sad..sad...this is outrageous!! so depressed the fact that i failed the most important experiment of all..have to write a report liao
very depressed and dunno what to blog liao~
haha
what? servant training?? NO..i've not given up on chemistry yet. So I've been away for 3D2N to Ipoh and blessed by PC, KL and all(ps: u know who u r...kekeke). Miss me leh?
Feel so refresh. Found my true love again -----> Christ. Thank You Lord.
Sometimes we knoe we ought to glorify Him and all we worship is Him. The revelation of His LOVE and plans for us shouts louder than the usual. Normally we hear Him rite? His whisper. but now different, loud and clear. So this training is to remind us what is servanthood and humility lor. I think all of us enjoyed it lorr.
Now wanna rest and rush with assignmt and stuff jor..bye bye
I'm forgetting lotsa stuff nowadays...
It feels like my brain capacity is at its limit. Keep forgetting important stuff like test & assignments' due date. Today, i plan to go for English For Science (EFS) tutorial abit late (boring class..normally jz discuss tutorial question). I got out 5 min earlier to get some stuff phtocpied. Then Thian2 call me and ask " wei, not coming exam?(direct translation frm mandarine)"
And i rushed to uni..in time but 10 minutes late...gosh!!
Last week i forgot about bio test too. Mistaken for statistic test... sigh~
AND THEN...not to forget, there was once i was doing statistic tutorial quest. Rushing to complete b4 tutorial...Then..

It makes the midterm and final difficult...thats the thing...
Now mayb not so stress kua(i hope)
love ya ppl!!
What happen when u put these into pot of boiling water?
carrot --> soft
egg --> hard boiled egg
coffee bean --> tasty coffee with sweet aroma (for coffee lovers out there...heheh)
When we are facing a trial or a problem, what will be the effect on us? Will we be drained out or strengthen by our past failures or circumstances? Some people may be hard and steady before they meet with a challenge. Soon after, they become useless and hopeless. Other people may seem fragile but turn out to be stronger and firmer after that.
Imagine that our problems and burdens are like boiling water. Will we end up soggy like a carrot or steadfast like an egg? Can we be otherwise? Coffee bean, small with enormous impact, is able to change the colour of the boiling water, gives out the sweet aroma and taste to those who drink it. People can hardly forget the sweetness of coffee. They can never miss it when they inhale the fragrance. Human instinct will tell it is from the coffee bean. Inevitable. And addictive.
We can choose to let the problem change us. It can either turn us into a wreck or strengthen us. However, we can consider to allow ourselves to learn something from it. To turn sorrow and pain into joy. Overcoming the problems allows us to discover our weaknesses and work to it. Only then, we can instill a new self, a better being. We can then walk with the new fragrance, the new aroma where we have grown out of our old self and walk anew. This will mature our thoughts.
When our thinking mature and our thoughts are different, we will have a different perspective of life. Life is merely ourselves or our achievements. It is about how we solve our problems and leaving traces of our weaknesses behind so that we can turn over a new leaf. Be a different person altogether. How? Most of the source to our trials are us frankly. Problems and unfortunate happens when God wants to mold us, discipline us and teach us a lesson by telling us our problem. If there is a situation that we desire to be patient, will God provide u with people that are easy to handle? Only irritating friends allows us to exercise to be patient. See that we are the cause of it? It's only though this we can improve our being to give out the aroma, aroma of coffee bean.
which would be ur choice? a carrot, an egg or coffee beans? For me...i would like to be coffee bean for most of the circumstances i'll face in the future.
Wanna thank God and k.lynn for sharing this tonite. It was really thirst quenching.
God Bless
