迷.张爱玲

日子过得太无聊
前几天有机会去书局逛了一趟
买了一本张爱玲的《倾城之恋》
打算充实自己一下
看了第一个故事《留情》
细腻的故事叙述
淡淡的幸福
配上淡淡的忧伤

迷上了

送行者

电影院外人山人海
排队买票的都是Transformer的支持者
而我选择了一部比较冷门的电影
来自日本的《送行者The Departure》
剧情没有让人屏息的高潮迭起
细细述说送行者的故事的这部电影
却能让人回味
和思考生命的意义
这一个午后
一个人的电影
细细品味生命的真谛

Jolie

Jolie刚刚来的时候的样子,那时家里没有笼,让她在箱子里住了一天。

两个星期的时候

长大一点了

Jolie & Kiki在家里的庭院里玩。Kiki是弟弟的朋友的狗。

昨天在宠物医院里可怜兮兮,让人心疼的样子。Jolie, 希望你快快康复,我们等着你回来呢!

给亲爱的Jolie

亲爱的Jolie
虽然我知道你很聪明
但是我还是喜欢叫你笨狗
我喜欢看你因为贪吃而追着我讨食物的样子
也很喜欢看你很想跳上沙发但又跳不上来跟我讨食物的顽皮模样
我喜欢看你知道我们从外面回来而兴奋的样子
我喜欢看你用两只脚走路的精彩表演
也很喜欢看你神采飞扬的双眼

亲爱的Jolie
我从来不喜欢家里养狗
可是你让我学会给你喂养
也学会把你抱在怀里
是你的可爱让我接受你成为我们家里的一份子
对,我说你是我家里的一份子
我早已将你当成我家里的小baby
我甚至羡慕你可以比我常留在家里

亲爱的Jolie
我给你说声对不起
我应该早一点发现你的健康有问题
不然不会把你推入这个绝境

亲爱的Jolie
我给你说声对不起
我不应该让你去捉老鼠
因为这样而受到细菌感染
才会导致肾衰竭

亲爱的Jolie
你要振作一点
也要努力加油
我等着你回来
我还想看你追着我讨食物的贪吃模样
等着你回来叫你笨狗……

esprit

很快就要成为职场新丁
为了搜寻工作服而跑了几次购物商场
很开心今天买到70%折扣的esprit工作裙
也突然发现
我的衣橱大部分都是esprit的衣服
我就快成为esprit的最佳代言人
那么
esprit几时才要给我奖赏呢?

Herbal Medicine

I went to an herbal medicine plantation in Seremban today. It makes me feels so wanted to write this post now even though I’m very tired already. I’ve listen to a talk about herbal medicine given by a person who have done a lot of researches on herbal medicine and he named himself as ‘Professor in Herbal Medicine’. The talk was last for 40mins-1 hour. There are many points that I’m agree of, but more points that I’m disagree of. As I am a future pharmacist, I feel that I have a responsible to correct the misconceptions about herbal medicine.

First of all, herbal medicines are obtained from herbal plant. So, these medicines are from the natural source. Since it’s obtained from natural source, it’s safe to consume and free from side effects. Agree? Let’s spend 10 seconds to think about it.

The professor had recommended an herbal plant that can help in heart problem. So, I asked him whether there is any side effect of the plant. He answered me so definitely that the consuming the herbal plant does not brings any side effect. I replied with a smile and did not continue further. Dear all, come back to the question I’ve asked above. If you do agree with that, I would like to tell you that you are absolutely wrong. There are no medicines that are free from side effects, this includes all conventional medicines and herbal medicines.

I’m sure that everyone is familiar with ginseng. Ginseng is well known in the Chinese community that is able to restores, builds ups and maintains the whole body. However, high incidences of side effects were reported with the use of ginseng, which includes diarrhoea, imsomnia, and hypertension.

St John’s Wort is another common herbal medicine (probably not that common in Asia) that is a widely used in the treatment of mild to moderate depression. St John’s Wort is found to interact with a large number of medicines such as warfarin, oral contraceptives, theophyllin and digoxin. This herbal medicine causes a change in our liver enzymes and affects the metabolism of other medicines and may lead to failure of treatment. It’s very important to consult the opinion of the healthcare professionals and avoid St John’s Wort if that cannot be taken with your other medications.

It is important to know that herbal medicines are classified as food and they are controlled by the food law, not the medicine law. They are not as strictly controlled as the licensed medicines. These products can make claims about their benefits to health without the need of proving their efficacy. It is notable that the active ingredient of herbal medicine that is responsible for the claimed effects is often unknown. In addition, the percentage of active ingredients can vary between different brands. As I said, these products are not that strictly controlled, their safety is not guaranteed. In the context of safety perspective, I would say probably the conventional medicines are much safer. The conventional medicines are well tested before they can be licensed and there are so much safety data available.

The main reason that many people are taking herbal medicine is because they believed that these medicines can bring benefits to their health. However, would you still take the herbal medicine if their safety is not guaranteed? The majority of the population do not required health supplement if they take a healthy balanced diet. As you can obtain all nutrients from a healthy balanced diet, why do you need supplements?

So, my recommendation is, it’s important to practice healthy balanced diet. You don’t have to risk your life or waste your money on supplements if you practiced a healthy balanced diet.

再循环

我把大学第一年和第二年的笔记叠好了
准备拿去再循环
心里满是不舍
