6月27日，青年公园

今天只有5个同学出席集会。
我到达集会地点时，传宾和秀权已经在那儿热身了。
我到达之后不久，明长和华丰也陆续到来。
秀权因为速度比较慢，所以他一个人先起步。
由于庆成没有联络我说他不来，所以我们就等待庆成到来之后才开始跑。
可是等了一阵子，时间已经超过5点05分了，庆成还是没有出现。
我只好打电话给他，原来他忘了告诉我他不能来。
庆成的父亲身体不舒服，入院了。
希望他老人家快快康复！

今天我们又提高难度了！
明长跑12圈（13.16km)，我、传宾和华丰跑11圈（12.22km），秀权则跑10圈（11.28km) 。

结果是：
我第一个抵达终点！时间是1小时11分钟03秒，平均每公里5分钟48.85秒。
我觉得纳闷！那怎么可能！ 我不可能跑在其他人前面的！


3分钟之后，我的疑问终于获得解答。
我看见其余4人一个接一个跑抵终点。
原来，他们全部忽然改变主意，一起陪秀权跑回来。

明长以1小时14分钟跑完13圈(14.1km)，平均每公里5分钟14.90秒。（这不是他真正的实力来的！他不可能跑这么慢的！）


接着下来是Ah Pong（华丰）。他以1小时14分05秒跑完12圈，平均每公里5分钟37.77 秒。

传宾1小时14分13秒跑完12圈，平均每公里5分钟38.37秒。（留意秀权就在传宾身后不远。）

秀权由于跑到中途还上厕所放掉“负担”，减轻体重，所以时间是1小时14分钟（10圈），平均每公里6分钟33.62秒。

坦白说大家今天的状态并不理想（除了明长之外）。华丰、传宾和我都有力不从心的感觉，跑到一半时真的不想再跑下去啊！不过，大家总算顶下去了！不错！加油！

最后，华丰和他的儿子要求上镜。

来吧！笑笑。。。“咔嚓”！

之后，庆成从Island Hospital特地来到青年公园和我们聊天。很不错啊！庆成，谢谢你的支持！

对了！我们好怀念其他好久不见的同学——Ah Kay（继勇）、中华、双安、铭辉。。。还有脚伤伤还没康复的书修！你们千万别掉队啊！

6月20日集会

近来槟城的天气很不好，气温高而且烟雾很浓，其实是很不适合做户外运动的。

不过我们CH85的成员依旧准时到达青年公园会合，进行我们每个星期难得的集会。

我驾车路过协和中学时，天空忽然滴落雨点，而且还不小的。我在想，下雨了，同学们会不会因此而不来了呢？ 不过，想想最近的天气，虽然偶尔会有下雨，但是雨从来不会持续超过10分钟。

我到达青年公园时，已经看到传宾一个人在躲雨。他看见我来了，就躲进我的车里避雨。

不久，秀权和庆成也相继到来。然后，明长也出现了。

我们5个人躲在我的车里，我拿出我打印出来的Malakoff 比赛的成绩来给大家分享。大家都针对这个成绩发表意见。看得出大家对明年的比赛（如果明年有举办比赛的话）感到很有信心。大家已经开始对明年的比赛定下目标了！

果然不久之后雨就不再下了，我们走出车外准备热身，这时蔡叶华丰也从青年公园里走出来。

大家默契十足，决定跑长途（10圈）。

秀权因为速度比较慢，所以比我们先起步。而明长因为速度最快，所以他一个人将会跑11圈。

以下是今天大家跑步的成绩：

明长，11圈，12.22公里，1小时00分钟30秒，平均每公里4分57秒

传宾，10圈，11.28公里，1小时01分钟11秒，平均每公里5分25.43秒

华丰，10圈，和传宾相同时间，同时间抵达终点。

庆成选择跑2大2小圈，7.76公里，43分钟，平均每公里5分钟32.47秒

我，10圈，11.28公里，1小时03分钟56秒，平均每公里5分钟40.1秒

秀权，10圈，11.28公里，1小时15分钟，平均每公里6分钟38.93秒。

6月13日的集会

6月13日，距离刚刚结束的Malakoff 26 km比赛正好要一个礼拜。

担心同学们因为Malakoff的激烈比赛而感到疲累不出席集会，所以我刻意发出信息提醒大家要出席下午5点在青年公园的集会。　

结果，这一天的反应特别好，一共有8位同学出席：秀权，继勇，中华，华丰，传宾。庆成，双安以及我（不在镜头内，负责为他们拍照）。

传宾跑9圈，10.34km

庆成跑8圈，9.40 km

秀权跑5圈，6.58km

我跑2大圈再加2小圈，7.76km（早上我已经一个人在家里跑15km了，所以下午不跑太多了）。

其他同学没有向我报告自己所跑的圈数，所以没有记录。

我们中华又出了一个出色的科学家

这是我从美国Lehigh's University转载下来的报导，是关于我们中华一位毕业生（Tan Chee Loon) 在美国大学所取得的辉煌成就。

This summer, Chee-Loon Tan will receive one of the top honors in his new field, the D.J. Lovell Scholarship from SPIE.


Chee-Loon Tan had only a passing acquaintance with optical technologies when he enrolled as a Ph.D. student in electrical engineering at Lehigh in the fall of 2006.At the University of Malaya in Malaysia, where he had just earned a bachelor’s in electrical engineering, Tan had focused on wireless communications. Among other projects, he had built a wireless ECG (electrocardiogram) monitoring system and fashioned a walking stick that warns the visually impaired about obstacles.



Today, Tan has an international reputation in lasers and semiconductors, having published 35 journal articles and conference papers in less than three years. He has traveled to California, Singapore and England to give presentations at conferences of the major optics professional societies.



This summer, Tan will receive one of the top honors in his new field, the D.J. Lovell Scholarship from SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering. The $11,000 scholarship, the largest given by SPIE, will be presented in August in San Diego at SPIE’s annual Optics + Photonics conference.



How does one change scientific fields so quickly and so successfully? Tan, who has published 35 journal articles and conference papers in less than three years, cites several factors: preparation, systematic effort, clear direction from a mentor and long hours.Mathematics is the foundation of engineering, says Tan, who took four years of calculus at a high school that is based on the British education system and located on the Malaysian island of Penang.“Mathematics is a must,” he says. “Without it, you will be afraid to tackle a problem. Your motivation will be undermined.”



The change from wireless communications to optical technologies, says Tan, required him to gain a firmer grasp of quantum mechanics, the branch of physics that seeks to describe the behavior of light and matter at the atomic and subatomic scales.Step by step“Quantum mechanics is the basis of what I do now. It is totally different from the electronics that I learned at the University of Malaya. But if the knowledge is different, the approach to it is the same. When I came to Lehigh, I took courses in quantum mechanics, quantum electronics, semiconductors and lasers. To learn how to apply quantum mechanics, I had to keep building, step by step.”



Tan’s adviser at Lehigh is Boon Ooi, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and a member of Lehigh’s Center for Optical Technologies, where Tan conducts his research. Tan has also worked with several other professors in the electrical and computer engineering department, including James Hwang, who directs Lehigh’s Compound Semiconductor Technology Laboratory, and Yujie Ding, director of Lehigh’s Terahertz Nonlinear Optics Laboratory. IQE Inc. helps the group grow semiconductor nanostructure materials, while the Army Research Laboratory helps with materials processing. The group receives funding from the National Science Foundation.



Tan says Ooi, who also hails from Penang, helped him get off to a fast start at Lehigh.“When you start in a new field, you need a distinct problem, a clear target to aim at. Professor Ooi provided this for me. Without a clear problem, you get sidetracked. You go off in too many directions at once.”



Much of Tan’s research at Lehigh has focused on developing broadband semiconductor lasers, which emit light simultaneously along multiple wavelengths, thus achieving greater spectral range than conventional lasers, which emit light along a single wavelength.



“Chee-Loon’s diligence in picking up essential knowledge enables him to perform his research in a very short time,” says Ooi. “By the end of his first year at Lehigh, he had already begun to develop a new theoretical model to analyze broad optical gain semiconductor quantum dot media."



Tan is working on a laser made of two semiconducting materials that emits light from quantum dashes packed at a density of 1 billion per square centimeter. (A quantum dash is a variation on a quantum dot, which is a nanoscale semiconductor that spatially confines electrons and hole pairs.) The laser developed by Ooi’s group, says Tan, has an inhomogeneous structure that enables it to emit light along a broader band of the spectrum.Ooi’s laser is several orders of magnitude smaller and less expensive than other broadband semiconductor lasers, giving it potential applications in optical telecommunications, biosensing, and biomedical imaging and diagnosis.



In Lehigh’s Center for Optical Technologies, Tan and the other members of Ooi’s group utilize semiconducting materials that self-assemble into quantum dashes, and then monitor the dashes’ mechanical, material and optical properties.The work requires long hours, says Tan, as experiments cannot be shut off until they are completed. Tan also creates mathematical models to explain experimental results. This work can be halted in midstream, but Tan prefers not to do so.“I don’t like to go home until I get the results I want. I spend most of my time in the lab. I come in at 8 in the morning and usually leave at 10 or 11 at night or later. That kind of schedule is not unusual for an engineering student.”



Tan hopes to complete his Ph.D. later this year and seek a career as an entrepreneur.“I would like to start up a company that develops and commercializes broadband semiconductors,” says Tan. “That will require a very different approach from what I do now. It will be very challenging.”--Kurt Pfitzer

文秀的email

文秀寄给我一封email，张贴在这里给大家读一读。他将在7月4日回来，希望到时老同学都能出席集会，和我们这位从美国回来的教授聊一聊（因为他真的希望和大家见见面！）


Hi Gim Kooi,

Congrulations on completing Malakoff in such an impressive time. Also, please help to congratulate the gang on completing the run. The thing that I missed most in Penang, as I told Keat Boey, was not being able to hang out with a group of good friend.

Anyway, I am going to make up the lost. I will be in Penang on 4 July (Sat). I have to run a one-day workshop in Singapore with a group of colleage from London on Friday (3 July), and will arrive in Pg on 4 July at 9am. I hope to see you, and other friends at the same location at 5pm on Saturday. I am not sure whether I can run continuosly for 15 min, but I will try.

Due to the swine flu, I will be travelling alone. I will spend two days in Pg. I need to be in KL to a Public Lecture in UM on 7 July, followed by a meeting with UTAR's president on 8 July before flying home on the night of 8 July.

I cann't wait to catch up with you.

Best wishes,
Boon Siew

Penang Malakoff 26 km (7-6-2009)

6月7日，星期天。
晴。
烟雾很浓。
天气炎热带点郁闷的感觉。
清晨4时30分钟，我到达青年公园后面大停车场对面的马路旁。
传宾、秀权、庆成、明长陆陆续续到来。
大家都在猜测继勇到底会不会出现。

结果，继勇在我们等待开跑时出现了。

这表示我们CH85团员，除了书修因为脚伤而不能出席比赛之外，其他平时都有参加比赛的都出席了这次的赛会。

比赛结果：

明长以2小时24分钟抵达终点。

继勇的时间是2小时36分钟22秒

接下来是传宾，时间是2小时45分钟22秒。

我用的时间2小时52分钟30秒。

庆成抵达终点时，时间正好是3小时10分钟。

秀权也完成比赛，时间3小时40分钟。


总而言之，我们6人都获得了奖牌，完成比赛。

最感到意外的是我们遇上了我们中华中学91年毕业的学弟，Koay Yew-Chin 。他也是我们CH85部落格的跟踪者。这个学弟来头不小，拥有PhD博士头衔。看来我们中华人才济济，实在可喜可贺！（下图最左边就是我们的Koay Yew-Chin 学弟。）

比赛完毕，大家在等待秀权回来时坐着休息聊天。

传宾和秀权品尝胜利的甜果。

我们下一个目标：11月22日Penang Bridge Half Marathon。

加油啦！
