ThingS... 寻意记

Things you think

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Sun, 16 Jul 2017 02:31:00 +0000

What to think makes a difference. Say, one day you walked in a fish shop and happened to see a fish in a tank. Look. Let's say, it's a zebrafish. As you are looking at it, this fish happens to show some movements or behaviors, for some reasons.

What is this fish doing? The fish swims towards you. And you think, the fish probably sees you are giving food. To others, that fish probably wants to chase you away, because you look bad. Well, perhaps, that fish wants to look closer at your pretty face. Now then the same fish does not come towards you, instead, it stays away. And you think, the fish probably sees you are not giving food (stingy). Some think that the fish probably does not care or is afraid of you. It also seems that the fish is just tired and needs some rest. Oh, poor fish~

There is like a list of things one would think about the action of that fish. Funny. The thing is we don't know how that fish (in the tank) would see things about you. Neither do I know what you would think, after all. Hey, actually, that is a lovely fish~ (just a little fishy)

Things about to happen

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Fri, 31 Mar 2017 15:14:00 +0000

Many months or a year from now, I have already thought about it. At that time I knew things were going to happen somewhere some day.

What things? Okay, there were going to be something good and something probably bad. Well, it depends. Somehow, some people think it's right and some think it's very wrong. You see what have happened in the world lately (since last year). Look around us, and then look at the West and the East; also look at the North and the South. I know, it's a lot of things!

Alright, how do I know it? Of course, something is going to happen, anyway. Now I think we can expect something else is going to happen in the near future. Somehow. We can imagine something big or something small. But I definitely cannot tell you what exactly that thing will be. Trust me, good things will happen.

People took my things

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Tue, 17 Jan 2017 09:19:00 +0000

Yes, seriously. In fact, they just did it. People took my things away. How come?

Guess what. Well, you know right, the security of this place has not been perfectly fine. Things like that could happen, so do not leave your things unattended and be careful. But wait. Is it related to that song, "You took my heart away" (MLTR)? Although the "people" and "things" are more specifically defined for this one (funny huh). Otherwise, probably the next one. You see, sometimes, work is like a battle; sometimes you win, sometimes they win. Take it easy, bro. Are you okay? Things that people might guess, I think.

Okay, let me explain my situation. Here what I meant to say and the actual thing is... people from a moving and relocation company came to pack my things, which are ready to be shipped overseas to my new place. Everything good! And I got to go.

Buying power!

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Wed, 04 Jan 2017 11:46:00 +0000

My power has never been strong when it comes to buying things, which I underestimated. Because that's based on my performance in retail shops and department stores. But, when look at my performance in online shopping, just last months (so busy), I know my buying power is competitive!

The experience is different when compare to that in shopping mall. Walking in the mall for hours (sometimes), I might see a thing to buy and thinking if there is a cheaper one elsewhere, any other choices or other styles, and whether it is necessary to buy. After visited more shops/malls to reconsider, I might decide not to buy the thing for some reasons. So, this part is less fun.

When shopping online, everything becomes fast and easy in choosing and making a decision. It seems like a solution. But, paying for things I've never touched before and sometimes the delivery part can be still a bit problematic and insecure. Okay. Anyway, such kind of shopping has new fun. It does help unleash my hidden power of buying things (so many), especially the things I wanted and needed in preparation for this interesting year.

Like never before

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Tue, 29 Nov 2016 12:29:00 +0000

This year has had a lot of big things happened everywhere, like never before. But I was focusing on a rather small thing -- finishing my university degree and getting a job I want.

Well, it is a degree like never before. That's like the highest of its kind. I should present something (final product) that I had been working on (so called research) for years, which is judged to deserve the degree. The way of taking lectures and final exams becomes irrelevant. So, there are no answer sheet to refer, no past-year questions to practice, and no grades to aim. In a way, this means it can be almost anything you can contribute to the field of knowledge (and let people know so) in order to graduate.

The thing is not many jobs require having a degree like that high. People like me, who chose to go through the degree thing, usually have had some ideas of the jobs for us. Job hunting takes time and efforts with many things to consider. I think knowing first what we want to do for now is crucial. It might change over time, and so we remain open for options. Nobody knows of the sure-right job to pick and the sure-win path to follow. In a way, this means it can be almost anything you want to do, and archive whatever like never before. Ideally.

Anyway, it's done (degree and job). Holiday! I wish to do exciting work in next year.

Strange thing

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Tue, 08 Nov 2016 05:01:00 +0000

Forget everything you think you know. Well, people come out with this strange thing. I think I know this is interestingly strange. I like what that movie presents. That name is Strange.

Is that what we think we know? Things can get complicated with time and space, life and death. They might seem as simple as that. We don't usually think too much about things like that everyday, since we are busy. What can you do about it, anyway? Changing time? (interesting though). It can be difficult to understand. But those things are strange and always seem relevant, as we think we know.

So, I started thinking a little more about those things (time and space, life and death) and more strangely, what we can do about it. Maybe I'm ready.

Think of the games

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Mon, 17 Oct 2016 22:28:00 +0000

It's time for this thing now. I came to a basketball court and started to do shooting, as usual. Then, I joined with some university students to play basketball games and things got more fun.

The thing I enjoyed about the games is simply focusing on thinking how to get to the goal. Basically, it means thinking how to make the chance for me to do a jump-shot or dribble pass the defenders to score; otherwise, how do I pass the ball to teammates and assist them to score; and then how to work with the team for defending and rebounding. This requires trust in myself and others in a small team to make things work. Recalling good plays to score or assist or defend and how to do it better is always pleasurable. Therefore, this is also the way I enjoy doing other things.

It was exciting to play some basketball games with young men and get exhausted. Just like the time during my school days and I feel younger after that. Look forward to the next game.

Things blocked

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Thu, 13 Oct 2016 17:51:00 +0000

Many things are inside my head that my brain has to try processing. Especially things I'm waiting to know and things newly come to my attention. Also, there are a few things in the past and things about to happen and other things around (I somewhat care). Such state of mind hinders the process of thinking ideas, e.g. what to write.

Two ways to look at this. Some of us might think that because of all those things in mind, things blocked. Whereas, some might think that because things blocked, those things stuck together. So... calm down. Will reducing the number of the things in mind calm us? Or will calming down reduce the things that stuck? Okay, "reset" the brain (sleep on it).

Possible what

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 18:39:00 +0000

How do we know if things will work? It has never come true to us before. But after all the work done and we have put in effort and time with high expectation. It is possible, what.

Yes. The thing might turn out fine, although started thinking what if we lose the chance or fail the thing or get hurt this time. Because it is possible that the thing doesn't work, although we still believe in ourselves and the thing. Either way (or both?) we might be thinking of the consequences in advance.

Mixture of thoughts and feelings. Similar kind of things were running inside your head in many occasions. Say, you might be waiting to know the result after the job application or the winner announcement after the competition or the answer after the proposal or maybe to know the news after some bad things. So we got a little restless. This thing continued until we know how the thing turns out eventually.

No matter what comes, take it. We still have other things to pursue or perhaps try it again. But wait. The thing is no news about it yet. Chill.

Look down on things

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Sun, 18 Sep 2016 12:48:00 +0000

On top of the world?

Looking down on things through a window of an airplane. I was flying from Okinawa. So that is the things we see.

When we are looking at things from top, the things (so far) are not clearly identifiable. We know, down there must have buildings, mountains, ocean, rivers, roads, vehicles, people, and many other things. The higher we go the harder to clearly see those things from the sky. It's a different view from top.

Meanwhile, one thing comes closer and we can see perhaps clearer. I mean the clouds. But they look no different thing, compared to that when we looked up to the sky (and admired?). It's a lovely view when you are flying high.

Just arrived one day and departed the next day. I tried to breathe in fresh air and see the things on the land as much as possible. My travel also completed. See if I get a chance to come again.

Useless or used-less?

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 15:56:00 +0000

Clearing useless things helps to make rooms for the new and to keep things organized. But for a reason, I rarely describe a thing as "useless". I used to do so, but turns out other people found the thing useful. This happens quite often. We actually didn't know how to use the "useless" thing.

The things that seem to be "useless" are used less. Interestingly, people use those things for new purposes. For example, leftover food kept for feeding pet dogs; empty plastic bottles used for making various household things; a broken light bulb modified into something for decoration; and an empty shoes box added with a magnifier glass for making a video/image projector for smartphone. Lots of other DIY ideas (in this webpage). Besides that, there are also other things.

Rather than a "useless" thing, it is just a "used-less" thing. And our "used-less" thing may become others' unexpectedly useful thing. So, it's how to make use of the thing.

Things in another world

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 14:44:00 +0000

The world of things not easily seen, e.g. viruses and bacteria. Not all bad.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV). A thing that infects people's liver. Chronic one is particularly complicated to deal with. When symptoms found, it will be quite late if not too late. This thing is related to people close to me and another reason. Then I came across this #NOhep thing. So try learn what's new to deal with HBV.

This is what happen when it gets inside the body. Basically, HBV virus takes over its host (living cells), the virus puts in its DNA with instructions for getting its host to work. The viral DNA can ask to build several things that constitute the HBV virus. Then the virus spread. Ideally, we can stop it if say there is a way to modify the viral DNA.

Look, bacteria has a way to do that easily when defending themselves. They produce a thing to target a certain part of the viral DNA, and another thing that recognizes it and makes a DNA break. Then, genetic modifications (or mutations) occur. The thing changed. So the viral activities in bacteria can be stopped. That defence system is famously known as CRISPR/Cas.

Imagine we introduce the genetic codes that can setup CRISPR/Cas things in animal cells. And that system can be designed to target and modify a certain DNA part essential for HBV activities. As reported (this paper), this worked pretty well in animal liver cells (in a plastic dish) and mice infected by HBV. The viral DNA were modified and the essential thing produced by HBV-infected cells was reduced. But wait. Will this work inside human body safely?? How to get it done then. Maybe hopeful to eliminate HBV infection.

Win the thing

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Mon, 22 Aug 2016 01:19:00 +0000

A lot of things resemble some sorts of sports games. When we compete with each other, in some ways, to win a thing. Maybe some (like me) aim only to win over themselves. Basically we fight to win the thing. Didn't make it and try do it again. That spirit.

So, what is the thing to win?? Defining the thing can mean what we might actually win. Say in the Olympic games, one might fight to win some matches, another might fight to win a medal, and the next one might fight to win the gold medal. The efforts one needs to win the three different things vary relatively. So does the pressure one will endure along the way. Assuming that many other factors can be overcome, then it depends on each of us to set what is the thing to win. (not everything). What's worth fighting.

Last few days the Olympic badminton games were exciting. Great spirit. Well, Malaysia missed the first gold medal (Ahhh!! So close...) and still won several silver medals. Already fought hard/smart. Already very inspiring.

Use "thing" with care

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Sun, 14 Aug 2016 04:32:00 +0000

We try to explain something so people easily understand. People want to know it. But there are times we need to talk about some complex things. Things that people feel hard to get and remember. Say, we might be an expert in a field/niche. Explaining complex things to people using expert-friendly technical words or jargon confuses more at the beginning. Non-expert and even half-expert people may not get what that thing is.

Try use "thing". Replacing jargon with "thing" when explaining complex things to people seems to make the things simple. Because the word "thing" is a general thing (that can be anything). We focus on the core idea. People begin to understand the core thing or message of the story, i.e. maybe what something does interestingly and how it works; therefore, more encouraged to know further.

But careful. We might further complicate things. Because it is general, we need to clarify the "thing" used when explaining things. Do not mix up several individual things involved in the story. Use "thing" for short story and it seems to work better for casual talk.

Looks like I have used "thing" with care here to explain some complex things. What if more people start using "thing" more often in conversation. OK, speechless.

An "island" thing?

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Sat, 06 Aug 2016 16:27:00 +0000

People used to say, "No man is an island." Well, not only man.

The thing is who wants to be "an island" actually. And, who became "an island" nowadays (with things like Facebook/Twitter). If you perceive nobody as "an island". Say, we might be a talkative and social-able person. Maybe. We simply can approach someone around who looks like "an island" and talk to them. Maybe they often are alone and quiet (or introvert?) and sometimes need a company. It is okay to we go for coffee/tea and a sandwich next time (not every times) and even can become friends.

But then, people say that you do not have to be nice to everybody. Does that mean should isolate/ignore some others (sounds like "discriminate"?). So, like-minded people come together and run their own group--one rather bigger "island". (maybe not sound like "bias"). So do many other groups. Well, there may be good and bad at work and in life with the "island" thing. Also, it is a preference thing because people compare the groups. Some like to join one big "island" but not the other, and some are fine not part of "an island". We adjust it.

It is okay regardless of the "island". People.

Things with light

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Fri, 29 Jul 2016 05:02:00 +0000

Today, more things that emit light are placed on the streets and in every buildings and in front of us (e.g. the Surface RT I'm typing) for many purposes. What's more have we learned about effects of light on our body/health. The eyes detect light with some photoreceptors allowing us to see the things. Besides, we may sense light without seeing and this is a thing.

Do we have those photoreceptors that are not for seeing things (non-visual ones)?? Yes, there are some in the eyes. And the thing is some also found in the brain. Not sure if they work though. Those things seem to function (i.e. to detect light) in the brain of birds, frogs, and fish. What they have to do with the body systems remains mystery.

My past work?? Say this review. I documented where those photoreceptors are located in the fish brain (organized in a map). Currently known ones. Those things are present in many brain areas that seem to respond to light/dark. Also, they may communicate with major chemical systems in the fish brain that are similar among the brain of other animals and so they are quite important.

How each of those photoreceptors does in the brain that controls body and behaviors of fish?? (e.g. maybe the timing fish develop/mature or spawn eggs, or the pattern fish sleep/move or respond to things). So, next things to look at, like this new work. Also hope to learn about those things in other animals.

Okay, I wrote a neuro thing. Also have a little warm-up for upcoming job interview. It's time for me to fly overseas soon (maybe get to try Pokémon Go). First, prepare to "catch" the job!!

Things inside human body

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0000

How long the things inside the body can last. Don't know exactly. How things can go wrong either. Anyway, we are still in good health because we take care.

The things inside the human body are designed to keep us alive/survive. Each of them has own job basically. There are things for digestion, things for breathing, things for waste control, things for sensation, things for protection, and other complex things.

Everyday we introduce things from the outside. Of course we need to take good things, e.g. food, drink, air (and etc.). The things that ensure our body to stay healthy always. If not, the things inside the body will go chaos and break down easily and even turn into something deadly (e.g. cancer). Sometimes, we might have taken bad things. Those tiny little things come inside and do harm and even become deadly (e.g. viruses, bacteria). Many times, these things are preventable/manage-able.

What if things go wrong?? Either because of the things inside the body turned bad or those bad things from the outside. One would panic at first (I know) and desperately ask questions... "what is that thing", "how come", "can it be recovered/removed", "what to do", "is there another way", "how long it takes", and maybe "how much time left". Not too bad after awhile knowing the answers (if there is a cure).

Start wondering how the things inside my body are doing now. Really need to check it out. Take a rest.

Connect things back

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Tue, 12 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0000

"You can only connect the dots looking backwards" (Steve Jobs). Things are somehow connected.

Once upon a time, there lived a young man who had passion but was a little confused. A fresh grad (amateur and broke) living in a city. He had some ideas what he wants to become, but he knew very little of what that actually is. Later, the guy afforded his first-time trip to overseas (in his 20s) and backpack travelled alone, and he was amazed with things out there. But what had confused him stayed. He needed relevant skill training and work experience. Worst thing is, when tried to join a prestigious institute for training, he was told not qualified. (A little helplessly) the guy continued soul-searching. And never gave up.

Fortunately, a prestigious institute in overseas offered him a chance. Mere lucky!! He flied off and dedicated to get trained there. The experience in another country was eye-opening and he enjoyed seeing different things. Meeting different people. He had learned a new language and tried skiing and all sorts of things (e.g. ate a lot kimchi). Best thing is, the guy had got such an unique opportunity to explore what he never imagined that he can do. Sometimes things got difficult. He persevered because it's adventure (of a warrior??). Few years after, he completed the journey and returned from overseas. Still remember that he had one thing not finished.

The guy finally qualified for that previous institute and proceeded with advance training. Here, unexpected things happened. Critical thing is, there lived someone (like a special 'sifu') who had similar passion and was skilled in what the guy wants to become and knew what that is. He met the 'sifu' (not in a cave). A lot of learning for the guy since then and he was transformed. So he excelled. Although there were challenges to overcome. With support of friends and family and he was determined, so he made achievements eventually. Small ones to kickstart things. After the advance training ended... (back to the now)

Wait. It sounds like a 'Hero Story' version of my past. That's me!! I'm the guy, interestingly. The 'Hero Story' to be continued.

Two things now

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Wed, 29 Jun 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Brexit. The thing that almost everybody heard of, seen, felt or knew it; also many seem to understand and think about it. Because the thing sounds like and looks like and feels like, okay maybe can no longer be ignored.

The Brexit thing can mean a lot of things between good and bad things to people. The vote count was like 50-50. Different people from different places everywhere see it in different ways.

I know, now it is separated into their (UK) things and another their (EU) things. By the way, was it really one whole thing?? So, it's two things now. A kind of change that shakes things, like money thing. No ideas good or bad things. But, something happened.

Again, maybe there are things that we cannot control. So, do it a different way then.

One decision matters

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Wed, 22 Jun 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Is this the one?? ... Deciding to do one thing seems to be harder than searching things to do. I seek to work at a place with a group o people doing a project that is closest to my interest and that I am going to do breakthrough things. Sort of a commitment that will costs everybody's time, energy, money, and a lot of things (e.g. one's youth. This thing matters).

Pretty hard to know (exactly) whether you would commit to that potential project you are looking at. The question evokes series of my thoughts about it weighted from different aspects of life all the way to the future. Some action taken too. Repeated the cycle over and over. I know the clock is ticking (faster than usual, don't you think). But still not the thing.

Last week, but weeks ago the ad was not there, I think I found one. Googled about it. I feel calm. Wait. Actually a lot energizing (biologically and mentally). Minimal thinking. But not sure what's in the mind of that potential group. Well, in my mind, "this is my thing!"

I guess, there are things that we cannot control. Just have to believe.

Do unusual thing

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Fri, 10 Jun 2016 13:38:00 +0000

Did I just tell people that it is difficult. Meaning it's hard not working a job. What?? I think people normally think it is hard (somehow). Well, have to think of what to do and why. But, you are basically free to do whatever you wish to be doing.

Is this not a good thing??

When working a job (liked it or not), people usually lack (extra) time and are always hoping for more holidays. So, more free time to do things they like, start something, maybe do nothing, or try/learn new things. Those things are often described as refreshing, heart-warming, exciting, maybe challenging, and some say life-changing.

It is an unusual thing (or opportunity).

Take a break

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Sun, 29 May 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Works were completed. Deadlines were met. Goals were hit. I felt so light mentally. 'let it go, let it go' (ya, that movie). Anyway, there will be a good news to officiate soon, which I knew it already. So, last week, it became my family day.

I met up with my parents and usually I have to come to Genting Highlands. Everytime. Well, it is a famous tourist place in Malaysia that people come for enjoying chilly weather and mountainous scenery, riding cable cars, visiting the casino, feeling like in overseas, and all sorts of things (and the new theme park is going to be ready soon). I do visit the casino occasionally, usually not me. It supposed to be family time. Mainly, I love having meals together with my parents, chatting, and then taking a walk with them.

Breakfast time

In the hotel room, there was a wide window allowing me to see very far outside -- a view with mountains and the sky. Wow, this is a thing! To me (not the first time though), that was an eye-opening view. No doubt, there is world out there!! So, I spent the best morning time taking a light breakfast (i.e. a cup of coffee and cookies) and reading, and looking at the view outside (just like the picture) and thinking... (yea, music).

This truly gives a boost to my brain.

Brand new chapter

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Mon, 16 May 2016 16:16:00 +0000

What is this thing, I doubted. Oh, it's my blog. Last week, it looked different to me, although it appeared the same blog not updated since year 2012. Actually, I'm the one who has somewhat changed. I decided to renovate this blog and simplify it. From today, this is the new look of my blog. Tadaaa!!

Two additional things I now have are a PhD in neuroscience and a thesis with publication. Okay, not going to brag about it. You see, it is related to biological importance of non-visual light detection in animals, and may not necessarily though photoreceptors in the eyes (what??). Interestingly, the brain itself can sense light information from the environment, which is common in birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish (human, mice??); and it can play important roles in physiology (but how??). Together with many other people's work, my thesis based on studies in the zebrafish got supportive findings to that. Details in my publications.

Meaning that those new things changed me?? I think it is the experience/journey reaching to the point to get the PhD and stuffs. Again, not going to brag about it. Especially, so far every year, publish a scientific paper. Writing those was not easy, but I enjoyed it. This is like telling my exciting ideas/stories that matter to people globally. Because of that, as you might see, my writing in new blog posts has changed (I guess better??), and the style is different now.

Just to brag about it, there are two more good things. First thing is, during PhD I have got the one right mentor (among several) luckily and this is critical. A lot of learning. Second thing is, I believe when you got a thesis, you might get papers from it; but when you have published papers, you are going to get a thesis. This is a choice anyway.

Yeah. The thing is I graduated!

One 'Mini-battle'

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 05:18:00 +0000

Now there is this young handsome guy who.. has been infected by a type of very tiny organism! This unfriendly tiny organism used to stay inactive for many years but at one time they replicated in huge number, making 'Protest' in an attempt to overthrow the host body, the handsome guy. It might be due to some reasons that had weakened the defense in his body. Still, it's almost symptomless.. So he took the prescribed pill daily for over a year while monitoring the number of this tiny beings. Finally they retreated and their number dropped to undetectable, and specific antibody had been detected which the body defense regained the ability to get rid of the remaining as affirmed by clinical diagnostic tests. However, it was not the end as expected~

The handsome guy has been maintaining a (quite) healthy lifestyle such as taking more fruits and vegetable, no excessive calories, no alcohol (okay neglectable amount), adequate quality rest, and having happy positive mind, as well as (some) regular exercise. Unfortunately, after a couple of years the tiny fellows really strike back! Again, a horde of tiny fellows is holding 'Rally' at similar favorite region inside the body, a vital organ with very high regenerative ability. There were no incompensatable injuries reported so far. But a one-year prescription has been suggested by the doctor which is said to have better chance for the body defense to eliminate the whole trouble-making troop this time. So the handsome guy will have to face another winnable 'mini-battle' against the tiny fellows soon which requires weekly injection of drug.. Oh~ poor guy. Good luck!

Me? NO~ Sounds like? No no, not me. But yes, me too a handsome guy though.

Despite the risk

noreply@blogger.com (ChongYee) — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:41:00 +0000

Wow it's already a NEW YEAR 2012, finally I come back to write! So this winter I've missed, and I miss my last winter, my last last winter as well. I remember the freezing weather, chilling wind, snowing night, snowman, snow fight, slippery road, shiny white scene everywhere. The most unforgettable is downhill skiing! Why? It's so.. wonderful, great, cool, awesome~! Okay I'm not describing specifically, please try it yourself. IMAGINE that you ski down from mountain top, the wind, the speed, the view, and not forgetting some falling. It was 2 years ago, my first time skiing, I didn't think but just learn (brief on-the-spot training) and do the skiing (carefully).

After the trip, I realized that skiing is indeed quite dangerous! Hey, what if I couldn't stop and fell out of the mountain, what if broke my arm or leg, what if I hit a big stone, what if I knock someone, and what if I rolled all the way down, and what if, you know, die or coma! More and more WHAT IF.. How can we 100% certain it'll be alright, and there were accidents. Pretty obvious that there will be more scary (specific) possibilities I can think of than the good I can tell (actually good experience~). This is insane, why people enjoy skiing? Thanks and luckily everybody in the ski trip were perfectly fine~

So I was frightened (a little), but looking back to my photos taken during the ski trip and recalling the happy time, err.. shall I never ever ski again? In fact if I had known these what-if before, I would still just do it for the first time, and will like to go for the second time too. Because.. because.. hehe. By the way, I was wondering which one is more frequently happen and higher RISK than another, skiing accident or car accident during only winter time?
