我是雪隆区第25届学海学生记者。
活动当年，真的很忙（忙到幼稚的我不介意把学业看轻），可是当时的我社交能力也不是很好。认识的人很多，结交到很近的有几个。是个成长的一年。
近来，我整理我那看起来像是打过一场战的房间，看到一本书。一打开：哇，字丑到！（没办法，当时都没有桌子写。）
现在就让我陈述下那本书里面记载的一些检讨录，再加上近来的故事。
=====================================================================
新闻是趣味性的，狗咬人不是新闻，人咬狗才是新闻。当然，事件发生后当然要尽快有报道出来，不要拖延时间写，要不然那个人把一整只狗吃掉了怎么办？
（其实这一点，很多记者在学习中最初听到的就是这个人咬狗的例子了哈哈）
可是最近上网看到很多标题写得很夸张式的，可是写一半又不写一半，例如：
-这是今年最XX的YY！！不看你就out了！
-*某事情发生*姐妹们看了都惊讶，原来……
之类的标题，很吸引人对吧？结果开进去才不是类似我平时上课都可以看到的那些疯狂学生一样在玩的故事罢了。
投稿不用放优美句子，你又不是在写作文，别人语文能力不太好看不懂怎么办，新闻不用读了。
今天我才看了电视广播来，是悲伤新闻，新闻主持人却用了“他们就有了非常痛苦噩梦一般地生活”、“他们深深的……”之类的。好吧，悲剧发生，伤心是当然的，可是你怎么知道他们经过了什么啊？连记者也未必知道，更何况是新闻主播。（其实讲真，不这么说，新闻主播也没有话可以说了）
你的责任很大，不，其实每个人在社会上的责任很大。
有人负责制造问题，有人负责发现问题，有人负责报道问题，有人负责解决问题，有人负责八卦问题。
由于负责报道问题的人拥有把问题向社会广播的责任，所以负责八卦问题的人也要有责任传送正确的资料。
你知道那些媒体的官方推特不是很喜欢用蓝色的小鸟报告新闻的吗？有时候他们是看到别人推一些“故事”，没有经过事实的确认，它们也将“假故事”re-推。（这是真的从记者那里打听来的。）我也不知道后果怎么样，就只是听说它们丢脸了一阵子。以正式媒体的账户丢脸了一阵子，严重过那些在面子书上一直在share假消息的小朋友很多倍。
就像你走街时不喜欢别人一个人霸占两个人的走廊，还走到向僵尸一样慢的。采访人家时我们也不可以站在别人店门口。
不要打扰别人做生意，也不要打扰我买冰淇凌。
要表现的像个专业人士，就得做好准备，采访前寻找资料，准备好问题。难道你考试前感不读好书？考场够冷了，遇到难题等下又要冷场怎么办？
这个我发现到我在上大学的路程中没有做好的一点……
礼貌是金。“请”、“谢谢”、“不好意思”、“打扰了”不是小学道德课本说了就算的字眼。
采访常用的字眼，也是现实生活中必要的素养。
近来听朋友说她在排队等火车时，前面有一对情侣。火车来了，她要上车，那对情侣却在那里呆呆，她就走上车。忽然，那对情侣的男方就撞了我朋友，并忽然走在她前面，急着上车。等到我朋友踏上车的一步，车门就关了，打到我朋友的肩膀，而且很痛。然后那情侣什么也没说。好吧，可能他们不知道火车的门在关起来的时候撞到我朋友，可是上车前特地撞人不可能不知道的吧？
可能那对情侣真的忘了基本礼貌吧？反正我们SPM的道德考试不是很不逻辑的吗？:P
就算办事情和别人不同组，不要不把别的组放在眼里，看到有问题的也要提醒。
这个我到处可以感觉得到，说实话我认为办在学校的活动筹委会，没有一个办的比学记队好。（外面的活动我不说，那些是另一个水准。）以前和学记办活动，就算你是负责这个department的，可是通过开会还有在面子书的group讨论，我们都知道别的department在做什么。
说说下我在学校遇到的种种事，同样也是一群学生办活动。不是因为能力，却是因为同学之间的玩而被选出来的主席，这我相信很多地方也会遇到，我不多说。然后我们这些“小兵仔”从他们讨论活动到活动前一两个星期，我们都不知道他们的发展。还得等到活动当天才知道流程表。我们就像真的小兵仔一样了，不用知道重要事，只要临场发挥就是了，来活动的小朋友问问题，我们也不知道要怎么给一个正确的答案。
还有一个，真的是没有想到他们会这样做。在活动高潮的晚上，在前面的主持人和他亲密的几位筹委会在台上自high。（过后有没有人告诉他们那些来活动的人有几blur我也不知道。）然后活动结束后，高层们就自己在那里认为goodjob，在社交媒体上发表他们的感谢。
这也不能怪他们啦，谁叫我（或是比较有能力的人）当时没有自愿当高层……
=====================================================================
我仍然是个在学习的路程中，以上的发表并未代表我是个很厉害的人，一定有解决问题。
不过它们确实从我的角度看到的现实，是个不错的提醒，不要如何对待别人。
在此停笔。

Blogging in a lecture
Hi I'm in class now.
Is this my first post after I have started uni? I think so...
A pharmaceutics lecture, and I have my laptop with me. Because Iforgot was too busy to print the slides, therefore I'm online now (our slides are uploaded online).
The lecture now is about filters, and I see some very pretty filters, not Instagram filters, but filters like the picture below.
Ok that is not the exactly the filter that is being mentioned in the lecture, but rather the pretty ones look like this:
Here's a confession: I never knew that glass wool is made of glass fibres, all these while I thought they were special cotton wools with some magical connection with silicon dioxide.
Something new I learnt from this lecture: filter aids exists. And they are so cool because they act like enzymes by increasing the activity of the filtration!
Ok maybe you don't need to totally understand this picture but I think it should be pretty self-explanatory, all we need to see in summary is the increase of the white arrows.
Of course, there are various types of this magical aids, here's a list:
The lecturer wants us to memorize at least 3 of these, but I like the first name, and it sounds very canggih-y so I think I must memorize that.
Me: What is Kieselghur?
Wikipedia: Diatomaceous earth/ˌdaɪ.ətəˌmeɪʃəs ˈɜrθ/, also known as D.E.,diatomite, or kieselgur/kieselguhr, is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder.
Oooooh powder.... and I see "siliceous" sedimentary rock.... I think I'll be studying about glass for quite some time now.

Of course, there are various types of this magical aids, here's a list:
}Kieselguhr
}It is the most commonly used filter aid, mineral derived from ancient seabed
}Addition of just 0.1% to a slurry containing 20% solid can increase the filtration rate about 5 times
}Talc
}Siliceous earth or clays – perlite is a volcanic mineral
}Charcoals
}Chalk
}Asbestoses
}Magnesium carbonate etc.

I'm pretty sure a solid (siliceous sedimentary) rock has all these properties. Well maybe except for the specific gravity, it's specific to certain mediums I guess.
Google: "Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density (mass of the same unit volume) of a reference substance."
We already have enough equations for Physical Pharmacy module and there's this Darcy's equation for rate of filtration. Here's how it looks like:
dV/dt = KAΔP/µl
I'm not going to explain it here but you are welcomed to think of me as some very smart-in-maths/physics student. :)))
Here's another new thingy, there's something known as filter candles!
Yeah I wish they look like that.
Actually they look like this:
}Filter
candles are used for bacterial filtration and sterilization of some
pharmaceutical preparations
The candles are made of unglazed porous porcelain or Kieselghur.
(Lecture note: equipment might cost around RM100, but a candle might only cost RM75)
(Canggih apparatus must be made of canggih names.)
There are also other equipment for filtration such as filter press, sintered filters, meta filters, and filter leaf.
And no you don't just pluck a leaf out of a tree to filter bacteria.
Here's a game, find the filter leaf:
I think it's not hard right, now does a filter leaf remind you chlorophyll and sunlight the gold leaf you learnt in Physics class? So technical....
"Coffee plunger is a filter leaf."
"Wait what?"
Moral of the conversation: Physics is everywhere, you can't escape it, you just don't link it.
Ok there's one more physic-y filter, but please bear with this post I promise it is the last one.
Meta filter.
They look like rings but please don't propose to me with that, unless you think that I am a highly viscous liquid, syrups, elixirs, oils, injectibles or insulin.
(But I will still smack you,)
At the end of the lecture I did not know if I had listened to an hour of home economics or pharmaceutics.
But anyway, as technical as they may seem, they are used in the pharmaceutical industry.

Feminism
"Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong. It is time that we all percieve gender on a spectrum, instead of two sets of opposing ideals." -Emma Watson
===========================================================================
<Prologue> (feel free to skip this)
I don't like judging people by classifying whether they are gay, straight or bi. I'm guessing society hates on LGBT just because they themselves just lacks some comfort somewhere (which is everyone's own personal story), and therefore feel superior or better when they can judge (or even hate) on other people.
In fact what a lot of people don't see is, for those people who aren't straight, it might be genetics (which I don't really think so), or that they just met someone in which flaws and imperfection are still a unique attraction to them, or that they have a harsh encounter with some people and decided to live the way they want to.
Either way, what I see in some people who aren't straight is that even though they have been through heart breaking or soul damaging encounters, they still are able to appreciate someone, despite the person's flaws, and have an unconditional affection and care towards them. Even though the other person is of the same gender, even though it's going against society. This kind of affection, is not one that even a straight couple might have. Even though someone is straight, they still might go into a relationship because of money or fame. And that's not something I would support in society.
But that does not mean that I 100% support LGBT. Sadly to say, there are people that decides to go into a homo relationship just because it is "the trend" or some sort. But on the other hand, there are also straight people that are able to appreciate their partner without having the motive for fame or being "trendy".
What I am trying to say is, stop judging people based on their sexuality, but rather their values in committing in a relationship. Straight and gays both have a portion of their people that are just scumbags and there are also the people who are just like your angel. Throw aside those stereotype-ings and see people in a different angle and you will get to understand what it is by being human and being able to love. After all, being understood is what we all crave for as a living person with a beating heart.
Extra note on the people who "gays for attention": I'm not comfortable with people pretending to be someone they are not, just so that they look cool. (It's the same like how I don't like girls that try to act tomboy, posting pictures of them dressing up cool but insert an emotional teenage status as caption. If you are not really into it, don't try acting to get attention. If you are one, you naturally will give out the vibe.)
</Prologue>
========================================================================
People somehow relates being a feminism to being a lesbian. Lol okay I don't blame them, in fact it is a pretty direct image, but it is not all that true. Not all feminists are lesbians kay.
Strange story, I was a feminist even before I knew the word exists. Growing up since young, during primary school in fact, I just had to have the luck to see the ugly sides of some guys who are pretty immature. And in the circle of society I was in, majority of the girls are like all about being pretty, into romance tv drama, sitting aside or doing nothing but laughing during sports periods etc. I hated being on the weak side (being an athlete we were always being judged on how strong or weak we are, and so being weak is a sort of sensitive word to me).
So growing up I tend to fend or side for the girls and being against guys. After the senior years in high school and onto college, going into a totally different circle of people, I realized that there are also guys that are pretty amazing and not as immature as those that I've met earlier in my life. There are some guys that really are just brats but there are also some social gentlemen that dares to make the first move. I stopped myself from hating on guys so much. Even though some of them have a terrible attitude, even though some of them treat girls badly (stereotyping), even though some of them are just very very whiny, I should have known earlier that each of them too, has their own story behind their attitude. After all, we all are damaged by the lack of love too.
I was thinking on how guys are also actually human too. Stereotyping people is not what I enjoy (although it is a social norm), but it always brings misunderstandings of people towards me, for uncountable times, and it was not something that I enjoy. Society stereotypes guys as masculine, strong and stuff. What society doesn't know is that this actions are also limiting a guy's freedom to be vulnerable as a human being. I mean yes, guys should project the image that they are strong, but being strong doesn't mean that a guy should hold everything that is hurting him in and act like it is nothing. Because by holding all the hurt in for a long time will eventually make a person collapse emotionally, and the consequences are normally showing out violence, which in turn hurts other people. It all comes down to the over-powering actions of society's stereotyping people.
Being strong is actually not a "guy's thing" but also what girls should be. We are not living in the older eras or a romance novel, girls that are too weak and only depend on other people for help are either a spoiled kid, a teen with her head in the clouds, or an annoying nuisance. Being strong is not all muscles and stuff, it is a very subjective term but it is another story to tell.
All of these pretty much developed my view on how not all gay people are terrible and not all straight people are right (refer to prologue).
But it was until last week where I watched Emma Watson's speech on the "He for She" campaign, which was based on feminism, where girls should stand up in society nowadays, but at the same time also inviting the guys to play their part. [Watch the video here.]
Only then I realized by being such a feminist for all those years, I was one of the people who had developed an "anti-men" attitude subconsciously. (Being able to accepet a number of guy friends that are more mature as bros and buddies, but thinking that the rest are just attention seekers etc.) And that I should've been more mature to be able to realize that I was too, a brat who didn't see the other side of the story, for all those years back then.
"We don't often talk about men being prisoned by gender stereotypes, but I can see that they are. And that when they are free, things will change for women as a natural consequence. If men don't have to be aggresive to be accepted, women don't have to be compelled to be submissive. If men don't have to control, women don't have to be controlled. Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong. It is time that we all percieve gender on a spectrum, instead of two sets of opposing ideals."
That was a part of the speech. And there was also "HOW CAN WE EFFECT CHANGE IN THE WORLD WHEN ONLY HALF OF IT IS INVITED OR FEEL WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CONVERSATION?".
Emma Watson's UN (United Nations) speech was part of the He for She campaign, in which she invites the guys in society to support gender equality by playing their respective parts. "I want men to take up this mantle. So their daughters, sisters and mothers can be free from prejudice but also so that their sons have permission to be vulnerable and human too--reclaim those parts of themselves they abandoned and in doing so be a more true and complete version of themselves."
<end notes>
In the end I try to appreciate the opposite gender more, but still ho pe that some immature guys to stop being attention seekers or worse.
Sorry to the guys who tried to approach me (I know there are a number, it's pretty obvious just to say), me being anti-guys might have shoved some people off with a cold attitude but just wanted to say that its not your fault.
Don't ask about my sexuality, never really gave deep thought into it, might just go along with the right feelings.
