CAP CAP CAP

I am happy! Not only because of my rising CAP, but also I didn't fail any modules!!! Finally, it relieved my intensiveness (or nervousness).

I thought I will fail my MA (Managerial Accounting) as I didn't do the paper well, but I didn't fail. Some more, I got a satisfied grade. (What a surprise?!) However, to my Macroeconomics, I got an unexpectedly poor result. (SOB I prefer this module than Microeconomics) Anyway, I am happy that I got a great result to my OM (Operations Management). I think, I am really more capable in SCM (Supply Chain Management)! (Hurray!)

Although my CAP (Cumulative Average Point) is rising steadily, it didn't achieve my goal for that semester. Anyway, as long as it is increasing, I am sure that I will achieve my goal soon!

See you soon, my dear phone

I think that's the Buddha's Will. 天意哦~

My mobile phone does not function well for a period of time. However, I have always no time to deal with it. Until this week, I finally "want" to bring it to hospital - Nokia Service Centre. But, I am working from 10 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. everyday. The centre is closed at 7 p.m. in weekdays. From my workplace - Eunos to the nearest centre - Orchard's Wisma, it takes me more than 30 minutes. It sounds impossible to me arriving the centre by 7 p.m., isn't it? Then, some suggested me to go repair my mobile phone in the weekends. But, my answer is "NO, thanks" because it is not unexpectedly crowded. I don't like the crowd. Thus, although I intend to repair my mobile phone, I could not find a suitable timing.

But, I think, my Buddha knows my trouble. (He-he...) Today my boss got something on, thus I could dismiss earlier. That's why I got the chance to repair my mobile phone! (Although the price is I lost a portion of earnings for today and I couldn't see my mobile phone for more than 1 week!) However, I consoled myself, after 1 week, I am gonna have a "healthy" and "recovered" babe back! So, overall, it is worth it. (Luckily, I didn't have any program in these days, ha-ha...)

note: I am using my sister's Motorola, hmmm... I afraid I may break it apart because it is VERY slim. Gosh, if it does happen, my sister surely kills me! Perhaps, I should ask that MOTORAZR (Don't know which model but it is gold in color) from my bro-in-law. (It's slim as well, arghhh...)

FW: 流浪狗小白嘴巴全沒了 (你听得见了吗?它的悲鸣)

更新日期:2007/12/25 13:43 記者楊祐彰/高雄報導

高雄市一隻才3、4個月大的流浪狗小白,整個嘴巴疑以被捕獸夾夾到,上下顎全不見了,沒有辦法吃東西,關懷動物協會志工雖然獲報救了牠,但還是有生命危險,而且台灣沒有重建的技術,就算小白活了下來,也必須終生靠舌頭舔流質食物來進食。

整個嘴巴全沒了的小白,無法吃東西,身體非常虛弱,獸醫師趕緊注射點滴補充牠的體力,也預防感染引發敗血症。

受傷的小白在高雄市街頭徘徊,志工獲報趕去救援,當看到的那一剎那,志工們都愣住了,因為從沒看過傷得這麼重的狗狗,志工們一面救,一面忍不住哭了出來。

關懷動物志工王春金說,「牠就看著我們,好像在跟我們講說牠真的很痛很痛,我們的人抓到牠,眼睛也紅掉了,有可能這附近有人放捕獸夾,因為小狗很喜歡聞地上,那一聞,那捕獸夾壓力很大嘛,就是一下子就切斷了。」

志工們研判,這又是捕獸夾惹的禍,上下顎全不見的小白,就醫後還是有生命危險,而且沒有嘴巴,完全無法再正常的吃東西了。獸醫師柯文文說,「牠舌頭還在,沒有受傷,還是可以舔(食物)進去,那以後如果牠活下來,可能就要吃泥狀食物。」

浪浪狗一再受傷,追根究柢,還是棄養惹的禍,看到這樣的畫面,你還捨得拋棄曾經用心對待過的家中寵物嗎?

FW: 「我想要衛生紙」 

「我想要衛生紙」 院童心酸的耶誕願望
更新日期:2007/12/24 15:09 記者黃綺玟、湯暉恆/高雄報導

經濟不景氣,台灣人似乎連愛心也縮水了,南區兒童之家的小朋友許下的耶誕節願望,竟然只是希望有用不完的衛生紙和沐浴乳,有這些民生物資就很滿足了。

一位院童說:「我要很多的衛生紙和沐浴乳,因為我要洗澡和擤鼻涕用啊!」簡單的願望卻讓人聞之鼻酸,這些孩子多半是因為家庭變故,被安置到兒童之家,像5歲的小薰爸爸下落不明,媽媽因為吸毒無力照顧她,整天把她綁在床邊,造成她營養不良,3歲那年被安置到兒童之家才開始學會走路,而她心中始終有個家的夢想,小薰說:「想要跟媽媽在一起。」

十多個孩子抱著舊棉被和枕頭,擠在地板睡覺,他們都能甘之如飴,畢竟這比在家挨餓受凍好多了,不過衛生紙和香皂等日用品消耗得很快,加上經濟不景氣,被安置到這兒的孩子多出三成,社會捐助卻少了兩成,每樣資源對他們來說都彌足珍貴,就連洗手也不敢抹太多肥皂。

耶誕節到了,這群孩子要的不多,只希望耶誕老公公能夠幫他們帶來用不完的日用品,讓他們過一個開心的耶誕節。

note: cherish what we have

I am Legend

Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable...and manmade. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City...and maybe the world. But he is not alone. He is surrounded by "the Infected"--victims of the plague who have mutated into carnivorous beings who can only exist in the dark and who will devour or infect anyone or anything in their path. For three years, Neville has spent his days scavenging for food and supplies and faithfully sending out radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. All the while, the Infected lurk in the shadows, watching Neville's every move, waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But his blood is also what The Infected hunt, and Neville knows he is outnumbered and quickly running out of time.

I watched it. Again, like The Golden Compass, I am slightly disappointed. But, I was moved to some scenes such as when Robert (Will Smith) have to strangle his infected dog, Sam; when he drives alone; when he recalls his memories... At first, I think he deserves it when he lost his dog. He should not play that kind of game which could take his life. That game delayed their time to go home, leading to a tragedy. However, after considering how despair he was to his situation, he just wanna make some fun in his life. He didn't mean it. Anyway, the ending is not bad. It tells us, there is a hope, no matter how slim it is. However, I don't like it.

X'mas Eve Dinner

Almost frustrate when my sister helps me take photo. Well, let's self-portrait~
Decorated by my dear 2nd sister. She did a great job, didn't she? Thanks for this X'mas tree, it did merry the atmosphere. Ha-ha...My naughty nephew, I love him, always. Hope he will grow up happily with all my blessings.
Thanks for my dear 2nd sis and 2nd bro-in-law. Besides making those delicious dishes, they bought X'mas feast back from hotel too. (Which hotel? Don't know lol, I was busy eating while they talked about it.) That turkey tastes great but I wonder that one of its source made of beef. But I dare not tell them the truth. Ha-ha... anyway, don't worry, be happy. (I don't mind but one of them do. Ha-ha)

Schengen Agreement 申根協定

The 1985 Schengen Agreement is an agreement among most European countries which allows for the abolition of systematic border controls between the participating countries. Covering a population over 400 million and a total area of 4,268,633 km², it includes provisions on common policy on the temporary entry of persons (including the Schengen Visa), the harmonisation of external border controls, and cross-border police co-operation. By the Treaty of Amsterdam, the agreement itself and all decisions having been enacted on its basis had been implemented into the law of the European Union.

A total of 30 states, including all European Union states and three non-EU members (Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland), have signed the agreement, and 24 have implemented it so far. Ireland and the United Kingdom only take part in the police co-operation measures and not the common border control and visa provisions. Border posts and checks have been removed in the Schengen area[1] states (see section Customs control) and a common Schengen visa allows tourist or visitor access to the area.

《申根協定》(德語:Schengener Durchführungsübereinkommen),亦称《申根協議》、《申根公约》或《申根公约》,最早于1985年6月14日由五个欧洲国家(联邦德国,法国,荷兰,比利时,卢森堡)在卢森堡的一个小城市申根(Schengen)签署。该公约于1995年7月正式全面生效。

《申根公约》的成员国亦称“申根国家”或者“申根公约国”,成员国的整体又称“申根区”。《申根公约》的目的是取消相互之间的边境检查点,并协调对申根区之外的边境控制。即在成员国相互之间取消边境管制,持有任一成员国有效身份证或签证的人可以在所有成员国境内自由流动。根据该《协定》,旅游者如果持有其中一国的旅游签证即可合法地到所有其他申根国家。

《公约》签订以后不断有新的国家加入进来,截至2007年,申根的成员国增加到24个:奥地利、比利时、丹麦、芬兰、法国、德国、冰岛、意大利、希腊、卢森堡、荷兰、挪威、葡萄牙、西班牙、瑞典、爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、波兰、捷克、匈牙利、斯洛伐克、斯洛文尼亚和马耳他。这些国家是今天的申根区。申根国家中除挪威和冰岛之外均为欧盟国家,相反英国和爱尔兰是欧盟国家,但不是申根协定的成员国。

2006年12月5日,欧盟各国主管内政和司法事务的部长级官员在布鲁塞尔开会决定2007年12月31日起吸收于2004年5月加入欧盟的10个国家(即爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、波兰、捷克、匈牙利、斯洛伐克、斯洛文尼亚、马耳他和塞浦路斯)加入《申根协定》。 根据各国达成的安排,欧盟将分步骤吸收10个新成员国加入《申根协定》。这些国家与15个现协定国之间的陆路和海路边卡于2007年12月开始撤除,而机场边境检查也将在2008年3月30日起取消,只有塞浦路斯和马耳他要求保留部分边境管制措施。瑞士于2005年6月5日举行全民公投,以些微差距通过了《申根协定》,决定于2007年实施加入“申根区”,但有東歐居民會引致擔心西歐國家(特別是英國)罪案和非法移民情況於2010元旦假日趨嚴重。

Isn't it cool? Passport-free travel. The people of those countries can freely travel amongst the countries without any troublesome of application of Visa. It is definitely a great news to the people, as well as the businessman. The flow of potential customers from different countries will bring more profit to the companies. However, it may bring some problems to the countries as well.

In my opinion, it can bring a poor economy to those less-developed EU member countries especially when they are lack of attraction. They may fail to attract potential tourists or investors to their countries. Reversely, their people will spend their currency in other countries. Thus, their value of currency will drop, in other words, a depreciation of currency. Besides, the freedom of flow of people may cause some population issues. For example, it is difficult to track down a Germany murderer if he has escaped away to other EU countries. Moreover, more people of other countries may flood into those developed areas for searching a better standard of living. It could bring unnecessary pressures on those areas in terms of safety, hygiene and medical. Definitely, it leads to a competition of raw materials and human resources among the countries. SO, does this agreement bring more pros than cons to its member countries, I don't know. But, I am sure that it must be a great news to their people who love travelling.

我的快乐冬至

今次特别些,用华文来记录这既特别又重要的华人节庆日子。这些既美观又可口的汤圆是我和妈妈一起搓的!当然,吃汤圆固然开心,但真正令我愉悦的是能与妈妈一起边搓汤圆边话家常。。。
冬至嘛,也就是我们华人的小新年;妈妈说,它的重要性可不输新年哦!所以,我们决定比拟年夜饭,就来一顿“小”火锅啦!(因为是小新年嘛,配料也就“小”规模的啦!哈哈。。。) 虽然并不是全员到齐,但是也不失其意义。一家人,聚在一起、分工合作、共享欢乐,那是多么窝心的呐!而这,其实就是我要的幸福。。。

感觉真的是超幸福福福福。。。滴!! (hohohoho...)

when it's Hari Raya Haji

Wa, Today is Hari Raya Haji. But, does it relate to me? Not at all, of course. However, thanks for it, I got one day-off (超high). I didn't go out like the public, afraid the crowd; afraid everything which can make me afraid. Ha-ha... I am too tired.

I slept till 4 plus p.m.! I almost suspect I am a pig (of course I am not, I am the cutiest pig). Ha-ha... but it did help me regain my stamina which is losing swiftly in this week. (Thanks for that Monday Midnight's noise, next time I will seriously consider about the charge of noise disturbance) Hopefully I would not need Nescafe anymore for my next working weeks.

I am watching the special news about Taiwan politics: 国民党马英九vs民进党谢长廷

I am so sorry to Taiwan people; everyone hopes to have a peaceful life, I think. However, the sub-conclusion of the TV show is: "民进党这7年执政上的失败或许是国民党的机会。但是,在容易被户籍课题统独问题等政治操盘捉弄下鼓噪的台湾,正直清廉未必能获得最终的胜利。"

"胜者为王,败者为蔻" stated in the show. Perhaps, there is no such thing: "just and fair" in politics.

Well, I may go back in this weekend. I just find out that it is our冬至! Mum said it can be considered as 小新年to us. So, such an important festival, I must return to have a reunion with my parents (Happy!).

Dec 19, 2007

There is no U.

This period of time, I had watched 4 movies sequentially - Stardust, The Golden Compass, Enchanted and The Warlords. I

n my opinion, Stardust is the most unpopular (people thought it is a traditional romance movie) but the funniest. Thanks for that pirate captain (Robert De Niro), he lives up the show. Of course, other roles did well too (showed their humor) in this romance story.

The Golden Compass, I give it a high expectation (thanks for the advertisement) but get the most disappointment amongst these 4 movies. Luckily Nicole Kidman, such a beauty, played a role in the movie. I spent my time on enjoy watching at her. I think the most boring part is the fight of polar bears. I was totally "sian" daooooo... (Maybe I should read its story book first? I bet it is more interesting than the movie)

Enchanted is the moderate one. It did give me the laughter (ahhhh... ahhh... ahhhh...) but it did bore me once too (the part of disgusting dragon in the nearly end of the movie). However, overall I would prefer Enchanted rather than The Golden Compass (sorry Nicole Beauty). But, I cried for a scene when a little boy losing his Daemon in The Golden Compass.

The Warlords is the BEST! I know that these 4 movies have 4 different directions. Before the show, my sister's boyfriend said girls would not like this kind of movie. I told him, then, I would like it. After the show, I proved it. I cried daooooo... However, the most lame part in the show is Takeshi always said: 大哥是对的. (我额头马上冒三条线。)

Review: Blood Oath - The Pledge, there is no drawback, you must kill a stranger to show your loyalty to the brotherhood. The first scene made me sad is when Jet Li tells that going-die man, "Remember my face, take the revenge from me in your next life." (It shows his unwillingness to take an innocent life? But in the end, he killed. So, does it tell us that he will sacrifice others to achieve his ultimate goal?) The second scene is after the 1st war (Jet Li dare to gamble, dare to die - to obtain the military help of 陈公) when Takeshi distributes the compensation to those families whom their sons died in the war. (Losing someone beloved can't be compensated). The third scene is the massacre of Suzhou. I love Andy Lau's quote: 人无信就是畜生. However, nowadays, how many people can always keep the promise? So, do not too strict to your beloved. (Jet Li said he wants to achieve a peaceful life to people where they would not be bullied by those who are stronger in power, money or etc. I think, he lost his belief when he decided this massacre. Is his last tear shows his regretful sadness?) The last scene I was moved is Jet Li talked to himself (to his illusional 二弟), he will take good care of people, asking for welfare from Qing Dynasty. At that moment, I almost believe him. But, he showed his ambition in the end of show - aiming at the throne. It makes me sick.

A Rainy Tuesday

Tuesday-my 2nd working day, I can say, there is 'nobody' in the office as compared to yesterday. Only 2 assistants were working when I walked in. No agents, No boss, you bet me going to slack? Oh, please, if you really think like that, I bet you don't know me enough. Ha-ha...

Those people who are close to me will know that I would never take undeserved earnings because I am honest! (Of course, there is another reason related to life cycle) Ha-ha... Therefore, even my boss was not around, I worked very hard and carelessly delayed my lunch break. Ha-ha...

I did accompany my sister to Jurong Point for purchase of Xmas gifts. I was grumbling, not for being a companion but for our shopping. As a BBA student, we have still been trapped by this kind of festival marketing strategy especially in this year. (haiz...) Anyway, sometimes, we need to give in for special people at the special time.

I got a Today's Quote from UOB ATM machine, "It's better to understand a little rather than misunderstand a lot." by Anatole France (Hopefully I didn't get it wrong).

Tomorrow I am going to watch Warlords after I had watched Stardust, Enchanted and The Golden Compass in the few weeks ago.

I Like 宅男?

人的时间有限,这是事实你永远无法逃避。所以,只要你还有想做的事情,就要紧紧抓住每一次机会,包括感情。---美味关系

I have so many things to do! I wanna try gun! I wanna bag-pack travelling! I wanna know how to swim! I wanna diving! I wanna "spoil" my parents with everything they desire! Whaooooo!

There is a very long to-do list in my mind! May Buddha grant me more time and health. I will, SOONER or later, achieve them ALL! Thus, I have no time wasting on unreliable investment such as what my sister had complained me just now. Well, indeed, I do not want it too! It is really a TIMING problem! I can't control them, do I? So, the problem is on them, not me! (bleahhhh.. ha-ha) Perhaps, they were the right person but they came in a wrong timing! (so sad)

Opps, out of the title - I like 宅男. He-he, recently I am addicted to this Jay Chou's new song - 阳光宅男. This song is so lovely, cheerful and cute! After a 宅男's girlfriend's effort, a 宅男 can be a hunk! Ha-ha... Thank for 宅男, my bad mood is turning better and better. I know I will get well soon! Yahoo!

Footnote: I watched that MV on the next day, I found that its story is different to what I thought (diaoooo...)



Oh, that's my dinner! I tried to "decorate" it (I know I am a bit "bo liao", ha-ha...)! Too bad, tomatoes are overcooked. However, the BIG prawn is superb Yummy! (let's compare with other normal prawns surrounding it) I love my mum! (touching daooo...)

Dec 16, 2007

I'm lazy (9)

well, I returned yesterday. I chose to slack, leaving myself in exercise and MSN! ha-ha...

Let's talk about what had actually happened in these days.

In these few days, I didn't waste all my times on playing around with my little niece (but she is indeed a superb lovely 小家伙). I learnt cooking! My mum is the best cook (although she always told me "depends, depends"), I did learn a lot of delicious dishes such as curry chicken from her.

Besides, I met my old friend, Cherng. I must say, thanks for asking me out although I had invited you first. ha-ha... Because of you, my bad mood is turned to better. And I will prove it to you, I can cook! (bleahhh...)

I should not return to Singapore so early. However, I have to. I need to work (la la la la...$$$). Sooner or later, I will achieve my goal! Wait for me!!!

NUS is nothing but TROUBLE. Although the coming semester is still far away, the first trouble I get now is that sickening career planning & management program. I wish that it would not delay my graduation (I'm still waiting for the reply). I do not mind to take 6 modules in one semester, BUT I dXmn MIND to delay my graduation!

PS: I am watching 红星大奖, I am so happy that 林湘萍 got the best actress award. She worth it as she did play well in that drama series. MediaCorp made a right choice of inviting Xiao Zhu, 183 Club and other celebrities. They did live up the show.

(7) 14.12.07

I suppose, I am preparing to go back to Singapore. But, one thing I am sure that is, my feeling should be superb sux.

I don't like to leave my parents. But I have no choice, the target is still far away. Fortunately, it is reachable. No more time for waste, I will work it out!

Final say: Never ever make your parents sad. It is unforgivable.

(6) 13.12.07

I'm in Malaysia but I did prepare this post in advance. I can expect what I am doing in my hometown -- Sleep like a pig!

Ha-ha... dream on! I will wake up at 8a.m. and go to the market to buy the materials for dishes. Well, I may suggest mum to let me handle our food. She may realise that her youngest daughter can cook! (but no guarantee to its quality ha-ha...)

I bring my treasures with me, and I gonna share them with my mum. Telling her anything happened on me is my pleasure.

(5) 12.12.07

I'm going back to hometown today. I will return on either Friday or Saturday. So, before I set off, here is some scripts I read from the Taiwan drama series -- Sweet Relationship 美味关系.



我怕的是你

你知道吗

当我发现自己喜欢上你的时候

心里好害怕

怕被你讨厌

怕被你嫌

所以满心恐惧

(Suggestion: Never Fall in Love? :P)




我该怎么做呢

我没有信心了

我连任何一点被爱的自信都没有了

可是我不想放弃

(Not recommendable: a horrible woman who deny the failure)

罗志祥 My King (4)

曲名:我不会唱歌 歌手:罗志祥 专辑:舞所不在

这首为你点播的歌
如果我先哭了
怎么唱到最后
是的
感情不是K歌
音阶一字不漏
不见得感动
我也懂
拿mic的手不能颤抖
曾握著
就能感受你比我难过
谁写的
歌词那么适合放手
我怎能舍不得
我努力唱完主歌
我忘了走音没有
我到底哭什么
哭什么明明搞笑的
我努力唱好朋友
我忘了是谁哭了
就算你不记得
这首歌唱完的是我

我努力唱完这歌
我忘了破音没有
你心里触动的
下一首已经不是我
我努力唱到嘶吼
我不怕剩我一个
只要你能记得
这首歌给我最爱的...

Monday - I haven't started to work, trying to grab more time for slacking.



Again, it's a rainy day (is it going to rain for a whole day just like Sunday?) How I wish to stay at home, sleep like a pig?! Ha-ha... However, I did promise an outing. So, I will go, no matter how.



In the noon, Candy came. We had a happy chit-chat, talking a lot of things I concern about. No question, No argument; it's simply a chit-chat. I'm so relaxed as I can share with her what I love, what I concern. She would not laugh at me (she will just give me a bang) or my imagination. I am alike a story-teller, she is my audience; I am happily sharing my lovely information with her, telling her the wonders.

Going out soon, hope there is no more rain!! (Too bad, it rains for a whole day again)

There is a rare chance, I had my dinner with Wendy and Candy. We had our talk while we were having our dinner. I LIKE IT! I just realise, I miss those time of having dinner with them so much!!! I miss them, I miss my parents, I miss everything about them. I'm in a loss...

Existence

I was watching a Taiwan drama series -- Sweet Relationship 美味关系 while I was having my dinner. (A bad dining habit)

“当你喜欢一个人的时候,就连他的一个笑容,你都会想保存下来。

可是,在我心目中比喜欢还要更重要的存在。”

There is the word attracting my attention -- 存在

“对他的感觉,就算他不出声,我也可以一眼看出他的位置,知道他在哪里。他在我心中一直存在着。”

It is a powerful word compared to that "I need you" in the movie of 孤男寡女 by Andy Lau and Sammi Chang.

I wanna be the existence to somebody, just like my parents to me. No matter how insignificant they are among the crowd or in a group picture, I can find them in minutes. (I'm impressed to myself) So, no matter where I am, how insignificant I am, he can find me. (That's cool, isn't it? Like radar! ha-ha...) I wonder, when I can get one? ha-ha...

A Rainy Sunday 9.12.07 (2)

I woke up because of a heavy rain. It made me thinking of the day I had studied with my friends in the library. It is a rainy day too. However, it was raining for a whole day. Now, the rain is going to stop. There is still a difference. Nothing is same. Everything, Everyone, and even Every Feeling is different. It is so difficult to catch or maintain a feeling forever. However, I know my feeling now. I will cherish this feeling right now. Nobody know what will happen in the future, however, I want to keep it for this period of time. I feel ease of my mind, at least, I did figure out what I want to keep, what I have to do. They can be done separately. It is so great to figure them out!!

By the way, I am listening Santa Claus is coming to town. Perhaps, I need more of happiness? Anyway, it is a lovely song that I like since I was young.

Bon Voyage 8.12.07 (1)

There are a number of issues happening during this period of time. Some of them made me happy, some of them made me sad.

I had my exams; one of the papers may not have a good ending. What I can do is wishing it not to bring me into a horrible situation. However, during the exam period, I had my great time with my dear wen wen yaa and nic bro sayang. We always met up to study together (someone said he is "sian" to meet me everyday but he met me everyday lolz wahahaha). Those 4 days are my happiest study time. Sharing laughter, Discussing questions, Giving each other the mentally support, even those Midnight Calls (they were sleeping while i was studying!); it did help us a lot in exam. That past year question did appear, That Bullwhip Effect, and That Drum-Buffer Effect's On-going improvement. Although study is boring and suffering, it gonna be one of my most cherish moments in my life. Happiness is simple, to me, it is much simpler, I am contented to whatever I have been gone through.

We went out once we had finished our last paper. Lunch, Neoprint, Movie (although it is lousy), Shopping, Dinner... we made many 1st time on the same day. I think I was sick, I was so sad on that day. Luckily, I met you in the next day. We are lucky.

However, happiness is only for one moment of time. It can't last forever. My bro sayang, he left us for SEP. Although we know he will return after 6 months, the feeling of sadness is beyond my control. Happy, to his good chance of experiencing a totally new life; Sad, to his departure. The mixture of feelings had almost swallowed my spirit (especially received his last message before he aboard the plane). I treat him as my bro sayang, my best friend, even my family. The pain is as strong as I knew that I could only meet my elder sister once a year after she is living in China. And it is even stronger. Losing a bro, this feeling is totally awful! However, since I am his sister, I must give him my support no matter mentally or physically. (I am so nice!!)

醉老闆連環撞 成大生、賣衣婦不治

udn.com 更新日期:2007/11/27 07:30 記者吳明良、蔡宗明、柯佩君、賈寶楠/連線報導

成大四年級學生鍾鼐駒及婦人史美芳,前晚在台南市裕豐街遭涂斌堃酒後駕車撞死;他們的家人昨天憤恨難消,強調處理完喪事後,一定要告到底。

鍾鼐駒(廿一歲)的父親鍾錦發說,涂斌堃(四十八歲)肇事後,一句道歉也沒有,令他非常不平,「一定告到底」。

史芳美(四十四歲)的弟弟表示,姊姊賣衣服幫忙家計,一對兒女,大的念大學、小的念高中,一個和樂家庭就被涂斌堃酒駕毀了,「我怎能不生氣」,等喪事辦完當然要追究刑責及索賠。

成大化工系大樓昨天一片哀傷,教職員和學生談到鍾鼐駒被撞慘死,神情都很哀戚;有的同學說「前幾天還聽鼐駒談準備考
台大等多校研究所,相當有信心呢!」一名大二女生說「對鼐駒學長有印象,他對學弟妹很好,很熱心幫忙。」

瓦斯行老闆涂斌堃前晚酒駕在台南市裕豐街連撞十多輛汽
機車,撞傷五人,其中成大學生鍾鼐駒、婦人史芳美分別於昨天凌晨不治。警方偵訊後依公共危險等罪嫌將涂移送法辦,檢察官聲請羈押,法官昨晚以五十萬元交保候傳。

涂斌堃前晚肇事後,自稱是議員弟弟,要與警員套交情。家人告訴他「你撞死人了!」涂斌堃斥責說「嘸啦,你亂講啦,我那有撞死人。」 (it is due to nervous? or he thought that money, power can make a difference?)

還說他只喝兩杯紅酒,車速只二、三十公里,為了閃車才撞車。當警方對他酒測高達零點六七毫克時,加上目擊者說他時速約一百公里;他才低聲認錯,表示肇事當時車子不聽使喚,煞不住車,會請求被害人原諒,知道自己闖了大禍。

警方根據目擊者吳姓女學生的說詞及現場採證,還原車禍經過。涂斌堃駕駛藍色凱迪拉克轎車沿裕豐街由南向北駛,先撞倒同向騎機車的史芳美及路邊轎車,再撞翻謝進興駕駛的轎車;迎面而來的機車騎士呂俊德被翻覆轎車撞上受輕傷。

涂斌堃繼續駕車前衝,追撞同向騎機車的鍾鼐駒,致鍾鼐駒撞上理髮店的柱子癱在騎樓;接著衝到高清建設大樓門前,撞毀電信箱及水泥座盆栽及路邊機車,卡在人行道上,安全氣囊爆開。涂斌堃毫髮無傷。

Everyday, those unexpectedly accidents happen non-stop at anytime, anywhere. We are not the God, we are not one of those heroes (check out CNN's Heroes) who can predict the future. Perhaps, one day, the unpredictable may happen on us, or on those whom we love to. We can't stop them, but we can do something better. Say "I love you" to those you love. You wouldn't know how powerful it is to those who are loving you too. If you couldn't, a hug works too. One day, when the unavoidable things happen, they or you may suffer for it; the hurt will never get heal. But, at least, you did tell the one you care about how much he/she means a lot to you. At least... he/she knows.

No matter where, when or who, drunk driving (酒駕) can't be forgiven. No matter what is the driver's reasons, work pressure, celebration, business, breakup or suicide, they shouldn't. There must be a way to solve their own problems, and they should avoid the driving when they are drunk. There is one sentence I got from an unknown drama series when I was young, but I still remember it: "要死,死远一点,不要害到别人." from a fierce auntie in that drama. It sounds cold-blooded, however, if we view it from the viewpoint of those victims, it makes sense. Why do you put the danger on others? Why don't you spare a mind to others whenever you gonna do something unsuitable to the circumstance? Just be considerate.

Photos

I never check out my mailbox(es) for a long time (more than 3 days), unsurprisingly, there is a number of mails (includes Junks) flooded my mailbox(es) (luckily we have 1GB! ha-ha...)

In fact, I had a very down mood in the morning after my paper. As I mentioned, it is a totally failure to me. I wonder, will I survive for it? May Buddha Bless Me!!!

Anyway, I checked my mailbox(es) today. Among those mails (includes irritating Junks), I found it - OKC mail. It has no much of words, as they are not needed. Pictures worth more!!! He did make me happy and make me laugh like a mad woman... (unfortunately, I couldn't share my source of happiness or else I may be hunted by that sender).

I get a lesson today:
No matter how bad it was, Face it, or Forget it; Choose to be Happy is the best gift for yourself.

Scary Sweet Dream

I had my paper in the morning, it is a total disaster! Not to mention it anymore. I went to take a nap after I had my lunch with my parents and 4th sister.

Supposedly we should wake up smilingly and happily from a sweet dream (which I did), but I don't. At this time, I woke up frighteningly. I wonder why, I was so happy in the dream. However, due to its SUPERB unrealistic, I was shocked and woke up promptly JUST to RUN away from the dream. It is too horror! ha-ha...

I always believe in this: 无风不起浪,事出必有因。I think I will get this horror dream because of my dear friend, bro NWJ. Thanks for his horror jokes - butt, insurance, and mangoes!!! (I gonna give him a big punch soon!)

However, the luckiest thing in this horror dream is I didn't see U and Mangoes in my dream, if so, I am sure I will commit my 1st murder (in the dream)! ha-ha... Well, it's just a crap. U are not worth it enough to be my 1st victim.

CH2271 gives me A Little Surprise

Today, as usual, I approached to Lecture Theatre 14, sitting at the seat which I usually occupy. While having my breakfast, I was reading the notes for the coming lesson. I knew that today we gonna have a "ceremony" to reward those outstanding project groups. But, I have no feelings to it at all. No expectation, No disappointment; Simply hope to see some interesting in the ceremony later. However, unexpectedly (or unfortunately?) I am involved as well.

I assumed that my project presentation is the worst in my tutorial class as what Eileen said so. Surprisingly, our group obtained 3 prizes in that particular tutorial class.
1st, The best look-alike artist = Ken (can't remember the actual title, so, whatever).
2nd, The best recording for the album: Cruel Angel.
3rd, The best poster.
It is unbelievable and a shock to me. Therefore, when I was asked to collect my lecturer's meaningful token in front of the crowd, there is only one word can describe my feeling = PAISEI! Because of this mixed feelings, I didn't hear what the lecturer said but only one phrase: She is shy! Gosh, let me die~ (Superb PAISEI). However, after the ceremony, I feel easy and relieve to my project as like what Eileen girl said also, only those outstanding projects will be rewarded. Thus, could I expect a good result for my project? (May Buddha bless me)

Our poster which lecturer praised it.

I wonder, I should use it to 1. drink tea; 2. to put a candle in the water; 3. to keep home keys.

This project is filled with fun, anger, tiredness, excitement and other feelings. I love Chinese, doubtlessly. After this module, if possible, I wish to learn more about Chinese Literature although I know that it's tough. However, I need to clear my Science GEM first. Arghhhh....

Belief, Talent, Appearence and Myself

I felt down today (5th Nov) for a number of reasons. Keywords: Ch2271 presentation (in fact, it doesn't really affect me), 85, small E, and a Caucasian's girlfriend.

Dear girl and sister said it may due to those strangers and asked me don't take it to heart. Didi said it so. However, I felt that 85 is indeed the main cause.

Anyway, thanks my didi. What did he say do make me feel better although I'm still wondering. :P However, I will try out the method he taught me. So watch out dudes!

My very tight Friday

I had a very tight schedule for this Friday (2nd Nov 2007). Start from 10am, I had my 2-hour lesson before I march to Clementi's Kbox. Before the session ends, I left earlier to my next destination - VivoCity. I had watched the movie which is unfavorable to my friends. However, it was a great show! You wouldn't like to miss it! I enjoyed the show and the most touching moment was that everyone (all NUS students in the cinema theatre) gave the applause when the show ended. I love being a youth as we dare to express our feelings whenever, wherever.

Kbox Moment
I like singing
Before our show starts, let's take a snapshot! :P
Let's take a picture for this memorable night!

Why there is no DEATH sentence?

http://www.interpol.int/Public/Children/SexualAbuse/NationalLaws/csaSingapore.asp

I. Ages for legal purposes

Age of simple majority
Under Singapore law, the legal age of majority for entering into contract is twenty-one (21) years.

Age of consent for sexual activity
The legal age of consent for sexual activity is sixteen (16) years. http://www.lawnet.com.sg/freeaccess/women.htm

Age of consent for marriage
The legal age of consent for marriage is eighteen (18) for female and male persons.

Avoidance of marriages where either party is under minimum age for marriage. Section 9. A marriage solemnized in Singapore or elsewhere between persons either of whom is below the age of 18 years shall be void unless the solemnization of the marriage was authorised by a special marriage licence granted by the Minister under section 21. [26/80]

II.Rape

Section 375 of the Penal Code states
'A man is said to commit 'rape' who, except in the case hereinafter, has sexual intercourse with a woman under circumstances falling under any of the five following descriptions:

a) against her will;
b) without her consent;
c) with her consent, when her consent has been obtained by putting her in fear of death or hurt;
d) with her consent, when the man knows that he is not her husband, and her consent is given because she believes herself to be lawfully married or to whom she would consent;
e) with or without consent, when she is under fourteen (14) years of age.'

Section 376 determines the punishment and states

Subsection (1):
'Subject to subsection (2), whoever commits rape shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to twenty (20) years, and shall also be liable to fine or to caning.'

Subsection (2):
'Whoever, in order to commit or to facilitate the commission of an offence of rape against any woman -

a) voluntarily causes hurt to her or to any other person; or;
b) puts her in fear of death or hurt to herself or any other person,

-and whoever commits rape by having sexual intercourse with a woman under fourteen (14) years of age without her consent, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term of not less than eight (8) years and not more than twenty (20) years and shall also be punished with caning with not less than twelve (12) strokes.'

Article 90 defines consent and states

'A consent is not a consentas is intended by any section of this code -

a) if the consent is given by a person under fear of injury, or under a misconception of fact, and if the person doing the act knows, or has reason to believe, that the consent was given in consequence of such fear or misconception; or

b) if the consent is given by a person who, from unsoundness of mind or intoxication, is unable to understand the nature and the consequence of that to which he gives his consent; or

c) unless the contrary appears from the context, if the consent is given by a person who is under twelve (12) years of age.'

Why there is no DEATH sentence?

Comparing Terrorist and Rapist, which one is worse? I guess, majority of you will choose the previous. Why? Because He do a massacre? He hurts more people? He destroys the economy?

To me, both of them are totally bad (use vulgar word if you like to), especially the rapist. You hate Terrorist because he kills your brother, your sister, whoever you love, you care. He makes you heartbroken. He is cold-blooded as he kills people without any hesitation. However, in fact, rapist did the same thing and even worse. The rapist didn't take the Innocent's life, some may argue. But, He is worse, He "kills" the soul.

"Living painfully is much miserable than Die". Suicide is the optimal solution to the innocent who can't face the reality. Sometimes, people say, "hey, it is not the end of the world." Ya, they can take it so easily because they never go through it, they are NOT the victim. Thus, I don't like Singapore Drama Series in the past because it is fake, unrealistic especially when those actors, acting as a counsellor, encourage the victims to move on. It looks funny to me. HOW could they understand their pain? Thus, when I have watched the new drama series, 破茧而出 (po jian er chu), I admire that unknown script writer. The pain should be repay.

The worst rapist is doing the evil in front of the Innocent's family. I read a newspapers when I was young. There was a news about a little girl of 12-year-old (she will be about 20+ if she didn't commit suicide) who was raped by those burglars who robbed her house in front of her family. I was sorry to her at that time as she had been hurt. BUT, now I know that her family (especially her mum) will suffer as painful as her or even more as they were watching her tragedy. It is totally crazy and awful. How could those bad eggs (use vulgar words if you wish) do this to a pitiful mother? No one, I bet, even immortal, can't stand the misery. (So, do you get an idea why people take revenge when Law can't help?)

People hate terrorist as WHAT he did is on the surface, is shown up to let anyone criticise. But, The destruction can be recovered, The feeling of hateful can be repay through revenge (no matter how beautiful words they said, in fact, they are taking revenge). A rapist, like a despicable rat hiding in the dirty, filthy drain, do the most shameful behavior as a human being (maybe they are not) to the innocent while He still pretends "innocent" among the crowd (Terrorist does so).

So, is Death sentence should be recommended? My stand is firm. I don't know yours and I am not interested too. Lastly, I think I am mercy enough as it is more humanity than letting them alive with no certain part of organ which has been suggested in a country before.

Karma,

you can't hide, you can't avoid; no matter how long it takes, the revenge will come eventually.

It does make me feel great!

I couldn't believe its existence as people around me couldn't convince me. At first, I felt depressed but I didn't want to give up. Although I may lack of perseverance, I'd still wanna give it a try! Today, I've been convinced. Those statements made me felt great and consoled. What I've done does work! Keep this good habit remained is what I gonna do and doubtlessly, further improvement will be conducted for a higher level of processing.

Week 9

I had my great time in my hometown. Thanks OKC, you did give me a great night! Batu Pahat did change a lot.

However, I was almost collapsed when I reached Singapore. I was in rush doing the assignment. Fortunately my group made it, the credit belongs to Huimin and Alastair. Both of them are great!

That very Monday, looks energetic? (>.<)
