转贴：当我们老了。。。

这是我在平淡的生活哪里看到的。。。
是父母最想跟孩子们说的，也是我们这些做孩子的应该学会珍惜的

当你还小的时候，
我们花了很多时间叫你用汤匙吃饭，用杯子喝水。。。
教你走路，说话。。。
教你读书，穿衣服。。。
当你大便在裤子时，我们帮你洗屁股，
你还记得我们教了很久你才学会的那首儿歌吗？


第一天上幼儿园的时候，你哭了，我们就站在门外陪你到放学。。。
当你半夜发高烧时， 我们紧张地马上开车送你去看医生。
你说喜欢坐车，我们就载你到处逛。


所以，
当有一天，我们都变老时，
我们啰啰嗦嗦重复一些老掉牙的事；
当我们一时反应不过来或借不上话时。。。
请多多体谅我们。


当我们开始忘了系扣子，绑鞋带时；
当我们梳头时，手开始不停颤抖， 
请不要催促我们。


当我们在吃饭时弄脏衣服，
请不要怪我们。


因为你们在慢慢长大，而我们却在慢慢变老。
只要你们在我们眼前，我们就会很欣慰。


如果有一天，我们站也站不稳，走也走不动了，
希望你能扶我们一把，
如果有一天，当我们大小便失禁时，
请不要骂我们。
这一切都不是我们想要的，只是我们快走到人生的最后一个阶段了。


当我们渐渐变老，直到弯腰驼背，老眼昏花时，请理解我们！
当初，我们引导你们走上人生之路，，如今请陪伴我们走完最后的旅程。


当我们即将离开人世时，请你紧紧地握住我们的手，
就像。。。
当年我们紧紧地牵着你的手一样。。。

Scholarship interview

In order to survive in the high living cost in Kota Kinabalu, i did apply scholarship to pay my school fees and get certain monthly allowance. Since 11 Feb 2011 which is the dateline of scholarship application, none of us get any news about it until last Monday (28 Mar 2011), i received a call from Cik Zuraya from Pasca that is in charge of our scholarship application to attend an interview by 4 April 2011 (today) at 11:10am for my turn.

From that moment, i was thinking probably i got the potential to get the scholarship and i can ask my dear papa not to give me pocket money anymore. It was really nice and happy plan of mine.

However, i am well-prepared for the interview (at least i think so, hehe), and reach the  Pasca building at around 9:45am. Waiting, waiting and waiting until my turn.

Here is the description for what i faced in the interview:

YY                :  Selamat pagi. 
Prof Harun: Selamat pagi. Please take a seat. 
                       Why do u looked familiar to me? Did i meet u before?
YY               : Yes. I was previously study at SST. 

(Interview started.)
Prof Harun   : Any questions from you, Prof Awang?
Prof Awang : Ok. You berasal dari mana ya?
YY                 : Johor. 
Prof Awang : OH, saya  pun dari Johor. 
                        Siapa ketua menteri johor ya?
YY                 : Sorry, i don't know. 
Prof Awang : Ok, i thought you are from Johor and you should know that. 
                         So, what is your title of research?
YY                  : Domestic and international diversification in pre-retirement saving with portfolio rebalancing in the case of Malaysia. ( I didn't manage to tell the whole title as Prof Awang straightaway ask the next question)


Prof Awang  : So, how is your literature review? Done?
YY                  : Still in the progress.
Prof Awang : How is the progression? How many journal you read?
YY                 : Sorry, are you asking about the no. of journal?
Prof Awang : Ya, you are mathematician isn't it? Suppose you can measure it. Is it 1kg or 100g?
YY                 : HUH?  How can we measure the contents in a journal?
Prof Awang : Even if you print the journal out, you can weight it, is it?
YY                 : ... (speechless)

Lecturer with specs.: Where do you study previously?
YY                               : SST, UMS.
LWS                            : Who is the dean of SST?
YY                               : Prof Harun. 
LWS                            : Full name?
YY                               : Prof Harun Abdullah
Prof Awang               : Luckily this one you know!


I don't really remember all the details during the interview.
These are the things that really make me to memorize it and annoying.

Prof Awang even ask my friend about how she measure liquid.
If it is 1 litre, how do you ensure it is equal to 1 litre?
My friend said that we can double check it by weighing it too.
but Prof Awang said, how do you know that 1 litre is equal to 1 kg?

What the hell is this question means?
If he is asking something based on psychological or personality or even IQ then i think he is a good interviewer.
But WHAT ACTUALLY IS THIS?
