Will We Still Eat Meat?

2010-01-13T17:37:00.002+08:00

Maybe not, if we wake up to what the mass production of animal flesh is doing to our health--and the planet's
by ED AYRES

When Julius Caesar made his triumphal entrance into Rome in 45 B.C., he celebrated by giving a feast at which thousands of guests gorged on poultry, seafood and game. Similar celebrations featuring exorbitant consumption of animal flesh have marked human victories--in war, sport, politics and commerce--since our species learned to control fire. Throughout the developing world today, one of the first things people do as they climb out of poverty is to shift from their peasant diet of mainly grains and beans to one that is rich in pork or beef. Since 1950, per capita consumption of meat around the globe has more than doubled.

Meat, it seems, is not just food but reward as well. But in the coming century, that will change. Much as we have awakened to the full economic and social costs of cigarettes, we will find we can no longer subsidize or ignore the costs of mass-producing cattle, poultry, pigs, sheep and fish to feed our growing population. These costs include hugely inefficient use of freshwater and land, heavy pollution from livestock feces, rising rates of heart disease and other degenerative illnesses, and spreading destruction of the forests on which much of our planet's life depends.

First, consider the impact on supplies of freshwater. To produce 1 lb. of feedlot beef requires 7 lbs. of feed grain, which takes 7,000 lbs. of water to grow. Pass up one hamburger, and you'll save as much water as you save by taking 40 showers with a low-flow nozzle. Yet in the U.S., 70% of all the wheat, corn and other grain produced goes to feeding herds of livestock. Around the world, as more water is diverted to raising pigs and chickens instead of producing crops for direct consumption, millions of wells are going dry. India, China, North Africa and the U.S. are all running freshwater deficits, pumping more from their aquifers than rain can replenish. As populations in water-scarce regions continue to expand, governments will inevitably act to cut these deficits by shifting water to grow food, not feed. The new policies will raise the price of meat to levels unaffordable for any but the rich.

That prospect will doubtless provoke protests that direct consumption of grain can't provide the same protein that meat provides. Indeed, it can't. But nutritionists will attest that most people in the richest countries don't need nearly as much protein as we're currently getting from meat, and there are plenty of vegetable sources--including the grains now squandered on feed--that can provide the protein we need.

Unfortunately, this isn't just a matter of productive capacity. Mass production of meat has also become a staggering source of pollution. Maybe cow pies were once just a pastoral joke, but in recent years livestock waste has been implicated in massive fish kills and outbreaks of such diseases as pfiesteria, which causes memory loss, confusion and acute skin burning in people exposed to contaminated water. In the U.S., livestock now produce 130 times as much waste as people do. Just one hog farm in Utah, for example, produces more sewage than the city of Los Angeles. These megafarms are proliferating, and in populous areas their waste is tainting drinking water. In more pristine regions, from Indonesia to the Amazon, tropical rain forest is being burned down to make room for more and more cattle. Agriculture is the world's biggest cause of deforestation, and increasing demand for meat is the biggest force in the expansion of agriculture.

What has proved an unsustainable burden to the life of the planet is also proving unsustainable for the planet's dominant species. In China a recent shift to meat-heavy diets has been linked to increases in obesity, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer and colorectal cancer. U.S. and World Health Organization researchers have announced similar findings for other parts of the world. And then there are the growing concerns about what happens to people who eat the flesh of animals that have been pumped full of genetically modified organisms, hormones and antibiotics.

These concerns may seem counterintuitive. We evolved as hunter-gatherers and ate meat for a hundred millenniums before modern times. It's natural for us to eat meat, one might say. But today's factory-raised, transgenic, chemical-laden livestock are a far cry from the wild animals our ancestors hunted. When we cleverly shifted from wildland hunting and gathering to systematic herding and farming, we changed the natural balances irrevocably. The shift enabled us to produce food surpluses, but the surpluses also allowed us to reproduce prodigiously. When we did, it became only a matter of time before we could no longer have the large area of wildland, per individual, that is necessary to sustain a top-predator species.

By covering more and more of the planet with our cities, farms and waste, we have jeopardized other top predators that need space as well. Tigers and panthers are being squeezed out and may not last the coming century. We, at least, have the flexibility--the omnivorous stomach and creative brain--to adapt. We can do it by moving down the food chain: eating foods that use less water and land, and that pollute far less, than cows and pigs do. In the long run, we can lose our memory of eating animals, and we will discover the intrinsic satisfactions of a diverse plant-based diet, as millions of people already have.

I'm not predicting the end of all meat eating. Decades from now, cattle will still be raised, perhaps in patches of natural rangeland, for people inclined to eat and able to afford a porterhouse, while others will make exceptions in ceremonial meals on special days like Thanksgiving, which link us ritually to our evolutionary and cultural past. But the era of mass-produced animal flesh, and its unsustainable costs to human and environmental health, should be over before the next century is out.

Why Animal Agriculture Doesn't Add Up

2010-01-13T17:33:00.002+08:00

Copied from Goveg.com

The more meat we eat, the fewer people we can feed. If everyone on Earth received 25 percent of his or her calories from animal products, only 3.2 billion people could be nourished. Dropping that figure to 15 percent would mean that 4.2 billion people could be fed. If everyone went vegan, there would be more than enough food to nourish the world's entire population—more than 6.3 billion people. The WorldWatch Institute sums this up perfectly, saying, "[M]eat consumption is an inefficient use of grain—the grain is used more efficiently when consumed by humans. Continued growth in meat output is dependent on feeding grain to animals, creating competition for grain between affluent meat-eaters and the world's poor."

The average adult human burns about 2,000 calories per day, just living his or her life. We use almost all the calories that we consume to move around, breathe, and do everyday tasks. The same is true of farmed animals. For every pound of food that they are fed, only a fraction of the calories are returned in the form of edible flesh. This is why, according to Compassion in World Farming, it takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of edible animal flesh. According to the USDA and the United Nations, using an acre of land to raise cattle for slaughter yields 20 pounds of usable protein. That same acre would yield 356 pounds of protein if soybeans were grown instead—more than 17 times as much!

Producing the grain that is used to feed farmed animals requires vast amounts of water. It takes about 300 gallons of water per day to produce food for a vegan, and more than 4,000 gallons of water per day to produce food for a meat-eater. You save more water by not eating a pound of beef than you do by not showering for an entire year.

It should be no surprise, then, that food for a vegan can be produced on only 1/6 of an acre of land, while it takes 3 1/4 acres of land to produce food for a meat-eater. If we added up all the arable land on the planet and divided it equally, every human would get 2/3 of an acre—more than enough to sustain a vegetarian diet, but not nearly enough to sustain a meat-eater.

Dr. Waldo Bello, executive director of the Institute for Food and Development Policy, concurs that raising animals for meat is a waste of resources, stating, "The American fast-food diet and the meat-eating habits of the wealthy around the world support a world food system that diverts food resources from the hungry."13 Researchers and policymakers who study the problem of world hunger agree that we have plenty of resources to feed vegans, but not nearly enough to feed our addiction to meat.

Meat Means Misery for the World's Hungry

2010-01-13T17:25:00.002+08:00

There is more than enough food in the world to feed the entire human population. So why are more than 840 million people still going hungry?1

Our meat-based diet is partly to blame, as land, water, and other resources that could be used to grow food for human beings are being used to grow crops for farmed animals instead. According to a recent report by Compassion in World Farming, "[c]rops that could be used to feed the hungry are instead being used to fatten animals raised for food." It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of edible animal flesh.

The average adult human burns about 2,000 calories per day, just living his or her life. We use almost all the calories that we consume to move around, breathe, and do everyday tasks. The same is true of farmed animals. For every pound of food that they are fed, only a fraction of the calories are returned in the form of edible flesh. The rest of those calories are burned away raising the animal to slaughter weight or contributing to feathers, blood, and other parts of the animal that are not eaten by humans. This is why animals raised for food have to eat as many as 16 pounds of grain to create just 1 pound of edible flesh.

Because the industrial world is exporting grain to developing countries and importing the meat that is produced with it, farmers who are trying to feed themselves are being driven off their land. Their efficient, plant-based agricultural model is being replaced with intensive livestock rearing, which also pollutes the air and water and renders the once-fertile land dead and barren.

If this trend continues, the developing world will never be able to produce enough food to feed itself, and global hunger will continue to plague hundreds of millions of people around the globe. The Guardian explains that there's only one solution: "It now seems plain that [a vegan diet] is the only ethical response to what is arguably the world's most urgent social justice issue.

Crops that could be used to feed the hungry are instead being used to fatten animals raised for food. It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of edible animal flesh. (which means ur MEAT).

Meat and the Environment

2010-01-13T17:19:00.002+08:00

Everybody is shouting for Environment friendly! But do you know your MEAT affects the environment as well?

Copied from Goveg.com

Global warming. Overexploited natural resources. Deforestation. Wasted land. Water and air pollution. The most serious environmental problems of our time are all directly linked to eating meat.

A 2006 United Nations report summarized the devastation caused by the meat industry by calling it "one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global." The report recommended that animal agriculture "be a major policy focus when dealing with problems of land degradation, climate change and air pollution, water shortage and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity."

Many leading environmental organizations, such as the National Audubon Society and the Sierra Club, are now establishing the link between eating meat and eco-disasters like climate change. According to Environmental Defense, if every American skipped one meal of chicken per week and substituted vegetarian foods instead, the carbon dioxide savings would be the same as taking more than a half-million cars off U.S. roads.

Environmental organizations aren't the only ones making the connection. PETA has worked with many celebrities, such as Sir Paul McCartney and Chrissie Hynde, to help raise awareness about the undeniable link between eating meat and environmental devastation. To read Sir Paul McCartney's interview about the environmental crisis, visit PETA's blog The PETA Files.

Do you know?
Eating 1lb. of meat emits the same amount of greenhouse gasses as driving an SUV 40 miles.

Top 10 Reasons to Go Vegan in 2010

2010-01-13T17:15:00.002+08:00

Copied from GoVeg.com

Many people's New Year's resolutions include losing weight, eating better, getting healthier, and doing more to make the world a better place. You can accomplish all these goals by switching to a vegan diet, and you'll enjoy delicious, satisfying meals as well. Here are our top 10 reasons to go vegan in 2010:

1. Slim Down While Feeling Good

Is shedding some extra pounds first on your list of goals for the new year? Vegetarians are, on average, up to 20 pounds lighter than meat-eaters. And unlike unhealthy fad diets, which leave you feeling tired (and gaining all the weight back eventually), going vegan is the healthy way to keep the excess fat off for good while feeling full of energy.

2. It's the Best Way to Help Animals

Every vegetarian saves more than 100 animals a year from horrible abuse. There is simply no other way that you can easily help so many animals and prevent so much suffering than by choosing vegan foods over meat, eggs, and dairy products.

3. A Healthier, Happier You

A vegan diet is great for your health! According to the American Dietetic Association, vegetarians are less likely to develop heart disease, cancer, diabetes, or high blood pressure than meat-eaters. Vegetarians get all the nutrients they need to be healthy (e.g., plant protein, fiber, minerals, etc.) without all the nasty stuff in meat that slows you down and makes you sick, like cholesterol and saturated animal fat.

4. Vegan Food Is Delicious

So you're worried that if you go vegan, you'll have to give up hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, and ice cream? You won't. As the demand for vegan food skyrockets, companies are coming out with more and more delicious meat and dairy product alternatives that taste like the real thing but are much healthier and don't hurt any animals. Plus, we have thousands of tasty kitchen-tested recipes to help you get started!

5. Meat Is Gross

It's disgusting but true: Meat is often contaminated with feces, blood, and other bodily fluids, all of which make animal products the top source of food poisoning in the United States. Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health tested supermarket chicken flesh and found that 96 percent of Tyson chicken was contaminated with campylobacter, a dangerous bacteria that causes 2.4 million cases of food poisoning each year, resulting in diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain, and fever. Learn more.

6. Help Feed the World

Eating meat doesn't just hurt animals; it hurts people too. It takes tons of crops and water to raise farmed animals-in fact, it takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of animal flesh! All that plant food could be used much more efficiently if it was fed to people directly. The more people who go vegan, the more we can feed the hungry.

7. Save the Planet

Eating meat is one of the worst things that you can do for the Earth; it's wasteful, it causes enormous amounts of pollution, and the meat industry is one of the biggest causes of global warming. Adopting a vegan diet is more important than switching to a "greener" car in the fight against global warming.

8. All the Cool Kids Are Doing It

The list of stars who shun animal flesh is basically a "who's who" of today's hottest celebs. Joaquin Phoenix, Natalie Portman, Tobey McGuire, Shania Twain, Alicia Silverstone, Anthony Kiedis, Casey Affleck, Kristen Bell, INXS lead singer J.D. Fortune, Benji Madden, Alyssa Milano, Common, Joss Stone, and Carrie Underwood are just a handful of the super-sexy vegetarians who regularly appear in People magazine. Check out our recent "World's Sexiest Vegetarians" for more hot, compassionate celebs.

9. Look Sexy and Be Sexy

Vegans tend to be thinner than meat-eaters and have more energy, which is perfect for late-night romps with your special someone. (Guys: The cholesterol and saturated animal fat in meat, eggs, and dairy products don't just clog the arteries to your heart; over time, they impede blood flow to other vital organs as well.) Plus, what's sexier than someone who is not only mega-hot, but also compassionate?

10. Pigs Are Smarter Than Your Dog

While most people are less familiar with pigs, chickens, fish, and cows than they are with dogs and cats, animals used for food are every bit as intelligent and able to suffer as the animals who share our homes are. Pigs can learn to play video games, and chickens are so smart that their intelligence has been compared by scientists to that of monkeys. Read more about these amazing animals.

残忍？

2010-01-13T11:54:00.006+08:00

有的人看了宰殺的場面，會說：好殘忍哦！好可憐哦！
那一餐，就不敢吃那一樣肉。
但转个身，吃飽了或過了幾天，那殘忍的念頭就完全消失得無影蹤了。

你說宰殺人恐怖，宰殺可愛的狗狗殘忍，難道宰殺可愛胖胖的豬豬就不殘忍嗎？
或許你會說：你是吃素的，當然這樣說咯！

以下是我個人的經驗分享，并不代表我挑釁吃葷的人哦！別誤會！

但你不知道，我也吃過肉，我也經歷過以上的種種。然后有一名老師對我說以上的話，我當場棒頭一喝！事后想了很多，很多。想過，等我吃夠了，我就不吃肉！等我吃過這樣和那樣，就吃素！過后“殘忍”的想法就不了了之。

吃夠？怎樣才謂“夠”？

到死那一天？老了？沒牙齒吃肉？才算夠嗎？

直到有一陣子，我翻開報章，每一天都是豬的新聞。

1998年，發豬瘟。很多豬只被趕到深坑里，活埋了。

看到這些新聞，我的心沉了。這些豬，為什么會在哪兒？

不都是因為人類拼命的要他們繁殖嗎？

現在生病了，就得死。

可能你會說，它遲早會死啊！它一出世就是被人吃的啊！

豬，養來被人吃？

那，雞呢？牛呢？羊呢？魚呢？蝦呢？

都是嗎？

有人說：如果我們不吃，那么雞就太多啦！循環鏈里就不平衡啦！

那你知不知道？雞那么多，是誰拼命的飼養？拼命的繁殖？你不機械化的繁殖他們，它們今日不會如此的多。

也有人說：不吃魚，海洋里就會太多魚，也不平衡！

但是你們又知不知道？就是因為人類任意的捕魚，現在海洋已陷入困境？其他以海鮮為主食的動物，就因為人類任意的捕殺魚類，而陷入了缺乏食物的困境？

相對的，人是不是需要給其他動物吃呢？所以才不會太多人？循環鏈才平衡呢？

那，鹿呢？蛇呢？狗呢？

也是嗎？

那，人呢？

為什么人就是最崇高無上的？為什么人就可以隨意的奪取其他動物的生命？

為什么鯊魚咬了我們一口，他其他的兄弟朋友都得死？

為什么老虎咬了我們一口，他就該死呢？

那，我們殺了他們那么多的弟兄，甚至咬了他們，還吞到肚里去。我們就不用死呢？

就因為我們是高等動物嗎？就因為我們是動物界里面最聰明的嗎？所以我們就可以任意的奪取其他動物的生命？

我今天不吃雞，可能就少一只雞被殺。
別人照殺，不用緊，至少我不吃。它們就不用為我而死。
一小撮的銀魚仔，有多少條生命在里頭？
我不吃那一小撮，需求量可能就沒那么多，下一次，就不必捕殺那么多了。

我不吃他們，我不會死啊！但它們卻為了我區區一餐，喪失了生命。
我只不過不想它們為了我一餐而喪失生命。就這樣而已。

也有人常用以下的疑惑攻擊持素的人。
既然吃動物是殺生, 那吃植物也是殺生, 都是殺生。他們也有生命。
對，我沒否認過植物也有生命。但它是植物。
而你又知不知道在所有生物里，為什么分成植物與動物呢？
植物和動物的區別有在哪兒？

以科學的角度去看：
几乎所有的植物，都在同一个地方发芽生长，开花结果，也就是说原地不动地度过一生。当然这中间也有少数例外，如随水漂流的小型水生植物。与植物相反，绝大多数动物为了觅食、避敌或别的原因，经常跑来跑去处于运动状态。

植物从小到大，各种器官抑制一直在发生不同的增减变化，例如在幼小时期只有根、茎、叶，成年之后长出了花朵，花朵凋谢后再结出果实种子。而大多数动物（低等动物除外）不论老幼，五官四肢等各种器官不增不减，仅仅是体积大小的不同。例如刚生下来的小狮子或小老虎，已经具备了于父母同样多的器官。

从两者的生活习性上说，植物有个脂粉重要的特点，那就是除了少数寄生和腐生植物外，它们都能进行光合作用，能自己制造“粮食”养活自己。而动物却无法做到这一点，他们只能依靠持植物和捕食其他动物来养活自己。

植物与动物的区别，还有一条十分严格的标准。在显微镜下观察它们的细胞就会发现，植物的细胞都有一层又厚又硬的细胞壁，而动物细胞只有细胞膜，却没有细胞壁。

在佛教的角度里，我在網上找到宣化上人如此的解釋：

首先动物和植物都是生物, 都有生命.

其次动物和植物有一定的区别:

1. 动物有灵性和血气；植物有灵性, 没有血气

2. 动物被杀死的时候, 它非常怨恨和痛苦, 因为它的灵性眷恋肉身不肯走；植物则不是如此, 它的灵性会立刻离开。

3. 从佛教的角度，还有一个比较重要的区别:
动物参与六道轮回，植物则不会。

不知道這樣的解釋，你們可以接受嗎？
再次聲明，本人并無挑釁的意思，只不過和他家分享。不要再找我吵架了。
謝謝！

別急著偷看咩～

================================================================

結果#1→ 涮涮鍋
你的個性內向、有點自閉和孤癖一點，喜歡一個人安安靜靜地待在家裡，
對你來說，跟不認識的人交談是很困難的事，所以朋友並不多，
不過還是會有一些知心朋友，你要好好珍惜些關心你的人，不能因為是好朋友就疏於付出。

你對自己的事情比較有興趣，一旦立定目標，就會一步步完成，即使再苦也沒關係。
不過別把自己關在象牙塔裡，有些事情就算自己再有實力，沒有周圍的幫助，
仍然無法完成，要學著打開心，跟不同的人交往，如果能認識人脈很廣的朋友，
也可以增加與人接觸的機會喔！

與人交往，不要覺得厭煩，應該主動示好，一般人都會炊然接受你，透過這些往來，
說不定你會發現一個全新的自己正破殼而出呢！

結果 #2→ 麻辣鍋
個性有點偏激，喜惡分明你的性格比較火爆一點，好惡分明。
遇到你喜歡的事情會馬上採取行動，一旦覺得討厭，就想馬上脫身。
由於你先入為主的觀念，因此交友類型往往偏向某種人，
不過一旦成為朋友，就會跟對方深入地往來。

你很豪爽，當朋友遇到困難時，會馬上伸出援手，朋友都非常依賴你。
因為你的個性陰晴不定，有時可能因為一點麻小事而跟朋友鬧得不愉快，
或在五分鐘熱度後改變初衷，這些情形都會讓你失去朋友的信賴，
最好學習有條不紊地處理事情，堅持到最後。

在與人相處的時候，不妨試著跟原本覺得合不來的人交往看看，而不定會因此發現對方的優點，
這樣的嘗試可以慢慢增加你的朋友類型，讓你自己變得更有魅力、更受歡迎。

結果#3→ 日式火鍋

個性溫和，是隻溫馴的綿羊你的性情溫和要適應力強，容易跟大家打成一片，
在社團或班級中非常活躍，幾乎沒人會說你的壞話。你討厭跟別人發生衝突，
所以養成八面玲瓏的態度，對不同的人採取不同的說法，說好聽是適應力強，
說難聽就是缺乏個性，雖是個老好人，卻缺乏個人魅力，表面上看來朋友雖然很多，
一旦遇到困難，卻缺少真正交心的朋友，有時會感到孤獨。

在團體之中你必須學會適時表達自己的意見，若因害怕衝突而一味配合對方，
並能讓對方更加瞭解自己。你協調能力很強，只要能勇夌表達心中的想法，
不以中傷為目的，相信別人一定會接納你的意見。
你就是你，凡事不需要人唯唯諾諾、一味忍耐，要走出自己的風格。

結束 #4→鴛鴦鍋

你的個性頑固、喜歡鑽牛角尖你的個性頑固，一旦快定的事、就算周圍的人反對到底，
佚也絕不改變心意，往好處想，這種個性可以讓你發揮強韌意志，
在團體中擔任有力的領導者，當有人或朋友遇到困難時，
你會義不容辭地出面幫大家解決，因此深受朋友們的信賴。

但是由於你非常堅持自己的想法，完全無視於周圍的建議，因此經常樹立人，
跟周圍發生許多摩擦。保持自己的風格固然不是一件壞事、但是過於頑固，
完全不理會別人想法，會讓大家感到傷腦筋，因而漸漸失去朋友，
最後說不定還會被孤立. 你必須學會傾聽與自己相反的意見，
尊重不同的價值觀跟思考方式，這樣就能增加彼此進一步瞭解的機會。

意興闌珊

2009-02-10T16:24:00.006+08:00

曾幾何時對著生活的一切興致勃勃，充滿希望。

幾經歲月的洗滌，開始意興闌珊。

是無奈？看透？還是絕望？

Cunning couples

2009-02-04T12:02:00.002+08:00

Found it from The Star online, cool to have a revision if u already know all of them.

Cunning couples
By CHRISTINE JALLEH

YOU can easily acquire an American, Australian, British or Canadian accent with speech training or from living several years abroad and come across as someone fluent in English. But you give yourself away if you use words wrongly, especially in e-mails, faxes and reports.

In the online world of blogging or chatting, such errors are easily forgiven but they are unacceptable in the business or educational environments.

Homophones, words that sound alike but convey different meanings, form many of these confusing pairs. Used wrongly in writing, they reflect someone with a poor grasp of grammar or a confused writer.

Be mindful of these cunning couples and be confused no more!

Accept (v.) — to agree to take something.

Except (prep.) — not including.

“Boss, I accept all your free books except ‘1,000 Ways to Manage Houseflies’,” said Pee Nang to Kay El.

Advice (n.) — one’s opinion about what somebody else should do or how they should behave.

Advise (v.) — to give advice to somebody or to recommend something to somebody.

“Are you sure, Pee Nang? I’d strongly advise you to reconsider the manual. You may regret not taking my advice if you’re suddenly faced with flies,” Kay El said.

Affect (v., pronounced uh-fekt) — to have influence on something or somebody.

Effect (n., pronounced ee-fekt) — a change produced by an action or a cause.

“Yes, I’m positive, Kay El,” Pee Nang answered. “If my mother’s way of handling house flies has affected them greatly by reducing them to zero, I don’t think I need to know the effect that 999 other ways have on them.”

All ready — completely prepared.

Already (adv.) — previously or by this time.

“Ahh ... looks like your house is all ready for living,” Kay El praised. “To tell you the truth, although I’ve already read the manual twice, I’m still having problems at my home!”

Beside (prep.) — at the side of somebody or something.

Besides (prep.) — in addition.

Pee Nang laughed. “I’ll be happy to tell my mother about your housefly problem. Since she lives beside my house, she could drop by your place later. Besides, she will be excited to have you try the apple pie she baked today.”

Complement (v.) — to add new or contrasting features which show the best qualities of something or which improve it.

Compliment (v.) — express praise, admiration or approval.

“That will be wonderful!” Kay El said. “I always forget to compliment your mother on her apple pie. It will be the perfect complement to the vanilla ice cream I’m having for dessert tonight.”

Dessert (n., pronounced dee-zert) — any sweet food eaten at the end of a meal.

Desert1 (n., pronounced deh-zert) — a large area of land that has very little water and very few plants growing on it, e.g. the Sahara Desert.

Desert2 (v., pronounced dee-zert) — to go away from a place without intending ever to return.

“Ice cream for dessert?” Pee Nang exclaimed. “Your place doesn’t exactly sound like the depressing desert1 you always portray it to be. You make it seem as if the whole world has deserted2 you!”

Maybe (adv.) — perhaps.

May be — to express possibility.

“Maybe I could have exaggerated my situation a bit. But seriously, I may be having a rather serious house fly problem,” Kay El explained in a doleful tone.

Breath (n., pronounced breh-th) — the air you take into and let out of your lungs.

Breathe (v., pronounced bree-th) — the act of taking air into and letting out of your lungs.

“Okay, take a deep breath,” Pee Nang assured Kay El with a smile. “I may have been too hard on you. Once my mother works her magic at your place, I’m sure you’ll breathe easier after that.”

Coincident (adj.) — happening in the same place or at the same time.

Coincidence (n.) — similar event happening at the same time by chance.

“Talking about breathing, isn’t it a coincidence that the houseflies started appearing the day after you came over with those pungent prawn crackers?” Kay El remarked. “I remember reading that the presence of house flies is coincident with the presence of dried seafood.”

Loose (adj.) — not tight.

Lose (v.) — present tense for “lost”.

“Now, now, Kay El, let’s not lose track of the discussion here,” Pee Nang said hurriedly. “We were talking about fixing your house fly problem.”
In an undertone, he muttered, “And not about a loose pack of prawn crackers disappearing in your home ...”

Later (adv.) — afterwards.

Latter (adj.) — the second of two things or people already mentioned.

“You were going to confirm the time my mother could drop by later. Now you’re going back to a visit I made in the past,” Pee Nang reminded Kay El. “Let’s not confuse the former with the latter, shall we?”

Personal (adj., pronounced as per-suh-nuhl) — private.

Personnel (n., pronounced as per-suh-nell) — staff members

“Anyway, let’s not take things personally,” Pee Nang said cheerily. “By the way, the Personnel Department is questioning me about being away from the office for three hours yesterday.”

Principal (n.) — administrator.

Principle (n.) — guiding rule for personal behaviour.

“I’m sure you were on company business. I know you to be a man of principle,” Kay El said. “The head of the Personnel Department is always acting like a school principal.”

Quiet (adj., pronounced kwai-yuht) — silent.

Quite (adv. Pronounced kwait) — very or actually.

“You are quite right I am!” Pee Nang replied emphatically. “Now that we are all settled, I’ll just slip away quietly.”

Than (conj.) — used after a comparative like “faster”, “cleaner”, “healthier”, etc.

Then (adv.) — referring to a time in the past or future.

Waving goodbye, Pee Nang called out, “I’ll see you later then!”
As Kay El waved in return, he wondered if managing his house fly problem would be easier than managing his young employee.

一堆抱怨

2009-01-22T02:44:00.004+08:00

冷落了这里很久很久，像是自从Melbourne会来，都没真正的blog过。
本想睡了，躺在床上。忽然哭了起来。心里觉得难过······
最近，老是不开心······
为什么？可能是要过年了吧······过年，不是应该要开开心心的吗？为什么会难过呢？
还不都是为了钱。唉。
自从得知今年不会有花红以来，就难过了几个星期。可能你们会说，很多公司都没有啊！今年就是不景气嘛！但是，有人明明就说了会有，就搞得我抱着很大的期望。工作的人就越来越多；生意也不见得有多好。生意不好，请这么多人来干嘛？真搞不懂。然后就和你说，公司没赚多少，没赚多少，也是有赚呀。也是你自己说有的，又不是我自己捏造出来的，到最后，却对人说没了。一句话，就把人家多个月来的努力化为乌有，把人家多个月来的希望拉倒，把人家从高山上推下。真的好失望，真的好难过······每天睡醒，都希望哪天不用工作。但是，没工作就没收入，就不能持家了。唉。戴着面具做人，真的好辛苦。看到面前的人，戴着超厚的面具在我面前晃来晃去，说些超假的言语，我就觉得恶心。这真是一个大考验。

可能花红这点钱对你们来说不算什么，但是却主宰了我下半年的生活。可能你们会说，有这么严重吗？只不过是一个花红，但是对我来说就很重要了。因为我有很多想要完成的愿望，都是靠这笔钱。现在，都化为乌有了······

首先，就是逼在眉睫的春节了。没有钱让妈妈过年的那种难过，那种无奈，你们知道吗？你们能体会吗？可能你们会说，那就省着点吧。但是，我捂着良心问，我没多花。过年，我也没怎么为自己添新装。反而为表弟们添了不少，可能你们会说，那是你自找麻烦，干嘛去烦表弟的，就让他们的父母自己烦就好了嘛。都是一家人那，需要那么计较吗？真的很想让他们过得好一点。真的很想赶快把债务还清。真的很想有钱替姑姑付完养病的费用。真的很想为妈妈添购一张新床，让他不用睡得这么辛苦。真的很想为妈妈出一部新车，让他能够做贡献。真的很想早日把钱存好，早日完成我的理想。真的很想每个月有多一点点的钱，能去护生。真的很想去如意的毕业典礼，但是，梦想能实现吗？真的不知道，如意呀！若我不能办到，请你原谅我，对不起。真的有太多很想很想了······

所有的东西，都是需要钱。我所没有的，就是钱。
那天听到他所说的，真是羡慕，羡慕得有点妒忌了。年纪轻轻的，就能挣到这么一笔钱，若我有着一笔钱，就能完成很多东西了。有什么方法，能用实力，不出卖自己，有能挣很多的钱呢？哈哈······象是在发梦吧？

人长大了，负担也大了，烦恼也多了，人也没以前这么开心了。小孩子，总会觉得过年好开心，又有压岁钱，又有好吃的，又有假期。开心死了。长大了，就不同了。过节，可能是可怕的。什么都是钱。压岁钱也是钱，也得给妈妈一些，好让他发给其他人那。今年真的过得蛮苦的。明年真的会好一点吗？他们的话还能相信吗？还是找找后路会比较好呢？烦死了。

好像要有一个悠长假期，但是悠长假期，最终还是会有钱的问题。

太夜了，明天还得上班呢！唉。晚安。告诉自己，加油。

你是哪一朵女人花呢‏?

2008-10-31T15:43:00.001+08:00

你是哪一朵女人花呢古往今來，文人墨客總是把女人比作花，那麼花朵萬紫千紅，你是哪一朵女人花呢? 做做下面的題目就知道了。

1、你喜歡獨自旅行　 NO→ 3 YES→ 2

9、你認為經濟是愛情的保障　NO →19 YES →18
10、你睡眠的時間在零點以後　 YES→ 20 NO→21
11 、沒事你喜歡喝點酒　YES→ 8 NO→ 10

20、你會主動向喜歡的人告白　 YES→E 型 NO →21
21、你會定期作美容　 YES→ F型 NO →G 型

A型、茉莉你一定沉穩而淡雅，卻在歲月的積澱中散發出不可抵擋的魅力。在你身邊的每一個人都會感受到你的美麗與淡定，與美貌無關，與年齡無關，確是沁人心脾的。

B型、玫瑰你一定是一份最永恆的時尚，總是以不變應萬變的獲得人生每一瞬間的精彩。魅力四射是不消說的，你的光芒是無法被別人蓋住的，如果你存在，那麼你一定會讓自己永遠美麗。只是有時要控制一下自己的脾氣，誰讓玫瑰帶刺呢。

C型、勿忘我你永遠用清晰的眼光看著世間的紛擾，卻沒有避開的懦弱，永遠用冷靜的理智看著情場上的春去春來，卻沒有逃避。你是有勇氣的，勇氣因才華變得更加堅定。一定有那麼一個男人，很多年後回想往事，才明白你是他心中永不磨滅的勿忘我。

D型、牡丹你一定是雍容華貴的，即使你是忙碌的上班族，也可以從你朝九晚五的工作中散發出傳統並高貴的魅力。艷麗如你，傳統也如你，你不會放縱自己，也不會因為不值得的事情虐待自己。

E 型、百合首先你是可愛的，其次你是善良的。不用想太多，做好你自己，你就是最純潔的百合。

F型、芙蓉你一定是有傾城之色的美女，並且透露著知性的芬芳。在你的生命中，最不可能缺少的就是愛情了，你的一縷秋波定會令無數男人心生蕩漾。然而你又是優雅並婉轉的女人，不會有卡門的火辣，有的只是莞爾一笑，卻一笑傾城。

G型、梅花從表面上看，你應該是堅強並保守的，甚至你周圍的朋友都會以為你清冷得有些孤傲。但是你卻是有非同尋常的熱情在面對著生活，在你的心底更有著對世間一切最純真的想法。你有情卻不多情，你可以改變卻不善變。膚淺的男人不會觸碰你，走進你的一定是注定幸福的男子。

金科玉律

Received this from Mei San, kinda cool.

試金可以用火，試女人可以用金，試男人可以用女人。
男人要有錢，和誰都有緣。
沒錢的時候，老婆兼秘書；而有錢的時候，秘書兼老婆。
有錢的人怕別人知道他有錢，沒錢的人怕別人知道他沒錢。
好好活著，因為我們會死很久很久。
高職不如高薪，高薪不如高壽，高壽不如高興。
偷一個人的主意是剽竊，偷很多人的主意就是研究。
幹點好事總想讓鬼神知道，幹點壞事總以為鬼神不知道
如果有錢是種錯，就讓我一錯再錯。
女人喜歡有安全感的男人；男人卻往往被缺乏安全感的女人吸引。
不吃飯的女人這世上也許還有好多好多個，不吃醋的女人卻連一個也沒有。
懷才就像懷孕，時間久了才能讓人看出來。
毀滅友情的方式有許多，最徹底的一種是借錢。

Accidentally found this Chubi Shin Chan's video, its really touching. Especially for those who came through their pet passed away.

Really similar to my experience...

豆豆。。。
你也是這樣想的嗎？
晚年的你，
也是這樣想的嗎？
你又在怪我嗎？

我好想你哦！
你在另外一個世界里，
過得好嗎？
我們一起努力吧！
總有一天，
嗯！
相信總有一天，
我們會見面的！

那時，
你還會記得我嗎？

豆豆，
我好想你哦！
想念你的味道。。。
想念你的體溫。。。

有時回家開門時，
會很沖動的想大聲喊你！
很希望你會出現，
就像以前一樣。

好想念你哦！

A.梅花鹿

谨慎小心，待人和蔼可亲

外冷内热的梅花鹿做事谨慎小心，很少鲁莽行事，这类型的人有完美主义倾向，自尊心又强，最瞧不起懦弱的表现，更不喜欢让别人看到自己的缺点，有时外表看似冷漠，其实却有颗温柔坦诚的心，是慢热型的人，偶尔也会被周遭的人或事感动得落泪，也不排除歇斯底里发泄情绪的时刻。
【如何排除人际烦恼】
过于追求完美的你无形中与人有隔膜，你应该主动敞开心扉，表现出最真的你，将深藏的热情与坦率展现出来，大家才会对你刮目相看，不妨将你的心事与身边的朋友分享，他们会理解你的。
【对异性的态度】

The Inspiring Story of Mari and Her Puppies
By the Japan News Group (Originally in Japanese)

Three puppies born on the day of an earthquake

On the fateful morning of October 23, 2004, a dog named Mari gave birth to three puppies in Yamakoshi Village, Niigata Prefecture, Japan. That evening, a severe earthquake struck Niigata and devastated the Village, causing almost all of its homes to collapse, including the one where Mari lived. During the quake the newborn puppies were jolted away from their mother, and since their eyes were still closed, they could not find their way back to her side. Also, because she was bound by a leash, Mari could not reach her babies. She tried repeatedly to pull free from the leash, but to no avail. Then, several tremors occurred and Mari tried even harder to break free until her neck began to bleed. Suddenly, another strong aftershock struck, Mari struggled with all her might, and the collar suddenly came loose. Next she quickly picked up her puppies, moved them to a safe place, and without taking a rest ran toward the ruins that were once her house.

Courageous rescue of grandfather

The grandfather of Mari’s family was home alone that day. He lived on the second floor, but suffered from a neurological disorder that made it impossible for him to stand on his feet or climb the stairs unassisted. After the earthquake, the old man was immobilized as he had been trapped beneath a wardrobe. Aftershocks and the total darkness resulting from a power outage pushed him into desperately thinking that death might be around the corner. Just then, Mari appeared in his room on the second floor and looked at him with encouraging eyes. The grandfather had been slipping into unconsciousness, but when he saw Mari he regained awareness although he was still immobilized. Mari then licked him to give him encouragement and went downstairs several times to check on her pups before quickly returning to the man’s room. She ran back and forth many times even though her paws had been injured by the sharp-edged glass and pieces of porcelain that lay all over the floor. Each trip gave her new wounds, but Mari managed to kindle new hope in the grandfather’s heart, and looking at Mari he thought, “I must live on. I cannot give up,” Finally, he pushed at the wardrobe with all his strength, it gave way and he managed to free himself. Then with Mari's encouragement, the grandfather spent two hours climbing down the stairs—a feat he had previously been unable to accomplish without help. Upon reaching the ground floor, he was happy to find that the three puppies were safe and sound.

A sad parting and further ordeals

After the October 23, 2004 earthquake Yamakoshi Village was in a state of total destruction and isolation as all local roads had been cut off. And with a continuous series of aftershocks increasing the danger of landslides, on October 25 all the villagers were evacuated by helicopter to a nearby accommodation center. Under these circumstances, the grandfather was forced to leave Mari behind for in times of disaster saving human lives is the main concern. He left all of his pet food for his beloved dog, prayed that she and her pups would be safe and took off her collar. Then, with no other options, as he boarded the helicopter to leave behind the one who had saved his life, he said with guilt and sadness, "I’m very sorry, Mari," and felt heart-broken as Mari howled in deep sorrow.

As time passed and her supply of rations ran out, Mari had to search for food in her abandoned village, suffering many ordeals as she tried to protect her little puppies. All the while the grandfather thought of her constantly, and with anxiety over the continuing tremors fell ill and had to be hospitalized. Then two weeks after the evacuation, the villagers were allowed to return to Yamakoshi to see their homes. Among the returnees was the man’s son, who immediately began to search for Mari. Upon finding her, he noticed that she was much thinner, and she hesitated for an instant after hearing her name but then dashed toward him. He held her close in his arms for a long time. Mari had not had enough food for herself, but she fed her babies milk and took care of them as well as she could. In contrast to their skinny mother, the three puppies looked chubby and healthy as they slept sweetly on the porch. The son was delighted to see the little pups growing up in good health.

Before Yamakoshi Village was reconstructed, the villagers remained in temporary housing in a neighboring city. Being in charge of advertising affairs for the village committee, the son was a busy man so he placed Mari and her puppies in the care of another family. When the grandfather was still in the hospital, Mari's caretaker took her to visit him. Thus, after undergoing countless trials, Mari and the old man were finally reunited. Mari was very happy to see the man, who was recuperating and said with quivering lips and tears filling his eyes, "Thank you for saving my life."

Then in April 2005 the grandfather was discharged from the hospital and began living with his son and Mari in an apartment. By that time Mari's three puppies had been adopted by other families and were growing up healthily in their new homes. Today, the grandfather and his family are still living in the apartment but look forward to returning soon to Yamakoshi Village.
Fireworks for Mari

Mari’s touching story, which illustrates the mutual trust and love between humans and animals that helps them through ordeals, has frequently been reported in the news media and has also been adapted as an illustrated storybook — Mari of Yamakoshi Village and Her Three Pups. The book has received a huge response in Japan and serves as a great inspiration for disaster victims. The company that published the volume is contributing part of its sales revenues to the reconstruction and relief funds for areas affected by the October 2004 earthquake, and distributes the book free of charge to children in Yamakoshi Village and its thirteen neighboring cities.

On August 2, 2005, the villagers held a fireworks celebration in their city of refuge just as they do in their home town each year, and this year event was entitled “Fireworks for Mari.” While participating in the festivity they wished that Yamakoshi Village could be recovered as quickly as possible. Amid the dazzling light and smoke of the fireworks, Mari's radiant smile seemed to fill the night sky, bringing hope and encouragement to the spectators.

剧情介绍
　　
在曰本新潟县山古志村，世代住着一家姓石川的人家。家里住着爸爸优一、儿子亮太、女儿彩和爷爷优造4人。亮太和彩的妈妈幸子很早就死了，于是，幸子的妹妹冴子常常过去照顾两个孩子。

一天，亮太和彩在玩耍的地方发现一个纸盒子，上面写着“请收养我”，里面装着一只可爱的小狗。两人把小狗带回家，给它取名为玛丽，于是，这只小狗成为了他们家的新成员。

玛丽渐渐长大，到了2004年，它已经成为三只小狗的妈妈了。亮太和彩常常带着它们在山野间快乐地奔跑。可是，幸福的时光转瞬即逝。

2004年10月23日下午5点56分，新潟县中越地区发生大地震。一瞬间，山崩地裂，房屋倒塌……爸爸优一因为上班还没回山古志村，亮太也在学校上课。地震过后，因为曰本的学校都是按照地震避难所来建造的，所以村子里的人都相继逃到了学校来了。可是等了半天，亮太都没有看到爷爷和妹妹的身影。原来，他们被压在倒塌的房子下面了。

黑暗中，爷爷仿佛听到一些动静，是玛丽寻了过来。它把三只小狗安顿好，就跑到瓦砾里来，试图把爷爷和彩拖出来。可是，一只狗如何能拖动两个人呢？！就在玛丽努力着的同时，自卫队的救援工作也正在展开。

Another version:
代代在新潟縣山古志村生活的石川家，是由在村辦公室工作的優一（船越英一郎）、兒子亮太（廣田亮平）和妹妹彩（佐佐木麻緒）、還有頑固的祖父優造（宇津井健）組成的四人家庭。亮太和彩的母親．幸子雖然已經過世了，但是在長岡經營美容院的幸子的妹妹．冴子（松本明子）會偶爾過來，代替母親準備餐點等等事情。

有一天，亮太和彩一起去平時遊玩的空地，與被丟棄在寫著「請領養牠」的紙箱裡的幼犬相遇。不湊巧的是父親最討厭的就是狗。雖然警告亮太不可能在家養狗，但是彩無法捨棄回家的路上哪都跟著的小狗，「你還這麼小，爸爸跟媽媽就都不在了，好可憐喔…」。小時候母親就過世，聲音長相都不記得的彩讓亮太想到，拉攏爺爺站在他們這邊，迫使爸爸認同他們飼養那隻小狗。就這樣，小狗被命名為瑪莉，成為石川家新的家人。2004年，瑪莉也長大，並生了三隻小狗。石川家因為多了新家人非常高興。亮太和彩，瑪莉和小狗們，一起在山間奔跑玩樂。但是，幸福的時間也只有這瞬間。

10月23日（六）下午５點56分。新潟縣中越地震，發生。一瞬間山林崩塌，地面碎烈，眾家塌陷。父親優一因為工作關係暫離山谷志，亮太因為校外教學正在學校。餘震持續的途中，亮太的學校變成地區避難所，陸陸續續有村人來集合，但是卻沒有彩跟爺爺的身影。在家裡的彩跟爺爺被壓在傾塌的房子裡。

不知道過了多久的時間。抱著彩的優造，做了人生最後的覺悟。但在這時候，逐漸淺薄的意識裡傳來似曾相似的聲音。原來是瑪莉。瑪莉跟幼犬們都很平安的樣子。把幼犬集中在狗屋的瑪莉，潛入瓦礫堆中，即使遍體麟傷也要到兩人身邊。然後，像要把精神分給他們一般持續舔舐兩人的臉。瑪莉非常的努力，加油的想把兩人從崩壞的家中救出，但是只憑瑪莉的力量，是沒有辦法為被壓在樑柱下的兩人做什麼。瑪莉一邊照顧著３隻幼犬，又為了幫彩和優造打氣，持續在瓦礫堆中來回穿梭。

山崩地裂道路不通的山古志村，被完全的孤立了。終於在這時，安田二曹（高嶋政伸）率領自衛隊的救援直昇機到來。多虧瑪莉把安田隊員誘導到崩塌的石川家，彩跟優造也被平安的救出。兩人從瑪莉的身上得到存活希望。「瑪莉他們也一起走對吧？」但是彩的願望並沒有被實現。人命優先救的關係，救援隊的直昇機不能讓瑪莉他們乘坐。「瑪莉－！」留下彩的呼喊聲，直昇機離開了村落。瑪莉他，一直目送著彩他們乘坐的直昇機離開。

瑪莉跟三隻幼犬被殘留在山古志村。在沒有食物的狀態下，拚命的從各式各樣的危險中守護孩子們的母親瑪莉。另一方面，在長岡的避難處，因為沒救到瑪莉這件事感到心痛，希望他們能平安的彩和亮太。得知持續天氣不佳的山古志村有暴風靠近，彩和亮太知道瑪莉他們情況危急，決定自己去拯救他們。到底，殘留在山古志村的瑪莉能夠持續保護著自己的孩子嗎？然後，家族能夠再團員嗎？為了守住無法替代的東西，大家都起身面對巨大的力量……。

幕后花絮
　　
2004年10月23日、下午5点56分。

以曰本新潟县中越地区为震源，发生了6.8级大地震。该地区的山古志村与外界联系的道路全部震断，成为一个封闭的“小岛”。就在人们为痛失家园而心伤的时候，听到了这样一则感人的轶事。地震发生当天，一头母犬“玛丽”生下了3头小狗。地震发生后，人们纷纷避难去了，这只母犬独自在废墟中守护着自己的孩子，16天后终于把孩子们带到了安全的避难所。玛丽这种顽强的生存斗志，给予受灾者们极大的鼓励和勇气，大家都积极投入到重建家园当中。

这部《玛丽和它的小狗们的故事》正是以实际存在的那只“玛丽”为原型拍摄而成的。片中饰演“玛丽”的“特形演员”的是一只叫作“小一”的母柴犬。“父亲”的扮演者船越英一郎对“小一”的演技赞不绝口：“它（小一）是天才！演技非常好，今年的最佳女主角应该颁给它。”通常，电影中如果有动物参与演出，都要准备2、3只相同种类的交替拍摄，可是这部片中，“小一”却是从头到尾没有替身的演下来，果然是一只演技非凡的狗！想必“小一”一定能成为本片的最大亮点。

痛心

2008-06-29T02:00:00.003+08:00

今晚，我感痛心萬分。

曾是對你多么的尊敬，無論旁人對你怎么評論，我都如如不動，依然自在的坐在你栽種在我心里的那棵大樹上。因為我對你有信心，你不會做出那樣的事。總相信你會改過，你真的改了。

曾是多么的以你的成就引以為傲。雖不是我的成就，我卻感到高興，驕傲。旁人說可能你會在背后做出不為人知的事，但對旁人多么的有信心且肯定的說：你不會的！從然對其他男人多么的不信任，對你，我是絕對的信任。因為我相信，我相信你。

但今晚，映入我眼簾的一切，讓我心都碎了，我不能相信，這些話竟然會從你口中說出。是我把你美化了？抑或是這本來就是你廬山真面目？

多么辛苦丟掉的垃圾，為什么又要從臭熏了的垃圾堆里把他給撿回來呢？失望極了...

看見你在孩子面前吵架，勾起了我隱藏在內心深處的那一條疤痕。那一條我以為已痊愈、不會再痛、忘記了的疤痕。

請不要在孩子面前吵架！為人父母的，請你們控制你們的情緒！不要在孩子面前吵架！在他們面前吵架而對孩子造成的傷痛，我可以肯定的對你說，是一輩子的！是你怎么彌補，也磨滅不了的痛。

我不愿他們步我的后塵。
不愿他們有著和我一樣的傷痕。
不愿他們有著和我一樣的痛。

是我把你們看的看美好了嗎？是我把這世界美化了嗎？
還是我不能接受這世界的不完美？人性的丑陋？
平時看似已認定、已接受這丑陋世界與人性的我，既然到了事情發生時，并不如此。
我依然會感到無奈，依然會感到失望，依然會在你栽種的樹上跌下來。跌下來時，依然會痛。

這顆你栽種了26年的樹，就在你短短的幾句話中倒下了。
坐在樹上悠游的我，自然的跌了下來。

好久沒抱著枕頭吶喊了。
于今晚，我也做了。

如今，心尚在淌血。
好痛。
好痛。

Can you survive with 3k?

2008-06-17T01:28:00.003+08:00

Copy from my mail, forgot from who... Cz i got heaps of them. All the same. [ words in pink is my own comment, hehehe...]

Can a family man with Salary RM3,000 survive in Malaysia (especially KL) ?

CAN - eat plain normal roti everyday, no entertainment, no tuition for children, buy new clothes and shoes once a year (Raya only), no radio, no TV, no nothing! Just go to work / school and balik rumah. Otherwise, how
to save money for children's future education, medical bill (one will definitely get sick / collapse easily under this kind of government ruling), pay for inflation, etc? That's what our government wants us to do - CHANGE OUR LIFESTYLE!

In Malaysia , the average family income is RM3,000 /month (where only father works, mother doesn't).

I understand there are many families whose monthly income does not reach RM3,000, but, to make things simple, let's take RM3,000 as the figure. Ok lah, right?

Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has Dad, Mom, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ....

Electricity and water bill: RM100 (No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater ... ok?) [mine is way too high.... ops]
Phone bill ( Telekom): RM100 [less than that, cz nowadays do u still use house phone?]
Meals for a happy family: RM775 (3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 persons...?) [might be more than that... cz always eat with big family]
Daddy makan / teh-tarik during working hrs: RM155 (RM5/day, RM5 ... can eat what?) [erm.... no comment....]
Car repayment: RM400 (A proton saga aeroback, 7 yrs repayment) [i've done mine, non of my biz till i get myself a new car]
Petrol (living in city, traffic-jam): RM300 (go to work, bring son to school, only can afford one car running) [mine is way too high.... need to send n pick my cousin frm sch, mom need to go here n there, send me to work etc...]
Insurance: RM650 (kids, wife and myself) [i dun think i have this]
House repayment: RM750 (low cost housing repayment for 30 yrs, retired still have to work to pay!) [living in family house]
Tuition: RM80 (got that cheap meh? i don't think so) [erm, non of my biz too, cz i m the tuition teacher and collecting RM300 from his parents]
Older children pocket money @ school: RM20 (RM1/day, eat bread?) [non of my biz too, i dun hv a child]
School fees: RM30 (enough ah?) [as above]
School books and etc: RM100 (always got extra to pay in school) [as above]
Younger children milk powder: RM50 (cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, expensive) [as above] Miscellaneous: RM100 (shampoo, rice, sauce, toilet paper) [heaps diff from mine ok.... Heaps to buy... can u imagine i go to TESCO once and atleast spend RM50? And for an average of RM100? At least once a week?]

Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so...
No Astro, [i dun have that] no movie @ cinema,
[only brought my cousins to watch KUNG FU Panda once last week since i came back from Melbourne] no DVD, [i din buy any of them] no CD,
[i din buy any of them] no online, [RM66 streamyx] cannot KFC, [i dun eat meat] cannot McDonald, [i love the chips/ fries there.... But din eat them ages ago] cannot go Park walk during weekend (petrol expensive), [i dun go park, i go malls.... need 2 pay more parking] no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc... [no more grandparents for me to chit chat]
Let's use a calculator to total up... WALAO EH! Shit! RM3,610 already... [i din count mine]
EPF belum potong, income tax lagi........oledi RM3,610 ....How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian ??? [so can u imagine those who with a monthly salary RM800? how can they survive?]

Our Deputy Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle? How to change? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school and study?

Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don't earn RM3,000/month!!!

What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh... Sorry ... it should be Malaysians Boleh , because we're still alive and kicking!!

Our politicians must be mad!!!!span style="color: rgb(47, 47, 47);font-size:12;" > [they r not mad, they r normal human who have normal desire which to earn more $ frm us]

Please forward and comment boleh or tak boleh.

No wonder so many Ah Loong around lah....

[what a hilarious ending!]

Old Melbourne Gaol [ 29.11.2007]

2008-06-13T21:54:00.002+08:00

In a really nice day, me and Catherine decided to visit the Old Melbourne Gaol. Cz we have a 2 for 1 voucher which means buy one free one. Before everything, need to declare something which is the GAOL word. Here is what i found.

Jail, or gaol (especially in Australia), remand prison, is a correctional institution used to detain persons who are in the lawful custody of the state. This includes either accused persons awaiting trial or for those who have been convicted of a crime and are serving a sentence of less than one year.Jails are generally small penitentiaries run by individual counties and cities, though some jails in larger communities may be as large and hold as many inmates as regular prisons. "Jail" is also a synonym for "prison" in most countries (excluding the United States), especially when the facility is of a similar size as a correctional facility. As with prisons, some jails have different wings for certain types of offenders, and have work programs for inmates who demonstrate good behavior.
(from wikipedia)

at 1st we though this is the gaol, then only we found out it is not. Hehee....

When you visit the Old Melbourne Gaol, it will come with a package which you can hv a guided tour to the City Melbourne Watch House as well. As above is the charge sheet which stated what kinda charge you're with. Everyone has one of that, cool huh?

Ned Kelly's Colt.

Who is Ned Kelly?

dward "Ned" Kelly (3 June 1855 – 11 November 1880) was Australia's most famous bushranger, and, to some, a folk hero for his defiance of the colonial authorities. Kelly was born in Victoria to an Irish convict father, and as a young man he clashed with the police. Following an incident at his home in 1878, police parties searched for him in the bush. After he murdered three policemen, the colony proclaimed Ned and his gang wanted outlaws. A final violent confrontation with police took place at Glenrowan. Kelly, dressed in home-made plate metal armour and helmet, >>>

was captured and sent to trial. He was hanged for multiple murder at Melbourne Jail in 1880. His daring and notoriety made him an iconic figure in Australian history, folk lore, literature, art and film. On March 9 2008, it was claimed that Kelly's burial site had been found by Australian scientists.

炸蛋- Serious man! In TW

2008-04-21T01:07:00.001+08:00

一般人認為蛋微波之前，只要剝了殼就不會危險，但台中有2位民眾被這種微波加熱的蛋炸傷；他們吃冰過的水煮蛋和滷蛋，微波之後放進嘴裡一咬，高溫蛋黃直接在嘴裡炸開，燙破了十幾個洞，足足治療半個月才康復。

陳女士吃滷蛋，微波加熱 1分鐘，放進嘴裡一咬意外發生。陳女士：「咬一口『波』一聲，喔，整個嘴都爆炸，真的是叫爆炸。」滷蛋在嘴裡炸開，高溫蛋黃直接燙破陳女士嘴唇、口腔破了十幾個洞，醫治半個月才康復。陳女士：「嘴唇的附近全部都破了，而且好幾天完全不能吃一點東西。」

除了大雅的陳女士，豐原有位林先生，也被微波加熱的水煮蛋炸傷。林先生：「蛋( 從微波爐)拿出來沒有爆掉，我想說OK沒有問題，結果拿到嘴邊一吃，它整個蛋就爆開來了。」蛋黃蛋白嘴裡爆開，嚇壞了陳先生。林先生：「蛋爆開來啦！真的變成『炸蛋』啦。」

為什麼蛋冷藏之後微波會發生爆炸意外，專家說，剝了殼的蛋放進微波爐，電磁波立即四面八方射向蛋的內部加熱，裡面水分子震盪、碰撞，摩擦產生熱能，加熱完，蛋黃內部壓力直往外衝，被有彈性蛋白緊密包覆住，只要咬破蛋白就會爆炸。

台中一中物理老師張宇靖：「咬破這個蛋就好像把氣球弄破，整個(蛋)就會爆開來。」

專家說，蛋微波之後就像隱形炸彈相當危險，建議民眾要吃熱呼呼的蛋，少用微波爐。

Special Day in Melb [ Nov 2007 ]

2008-04-08T17:59:00.002+08:00

Someday in Nov last year, went to Melb city with Evonne. She wanted to get her hair done. We know there were few cheap salons at Elizabeth St.

Waiting Evonne @ the corner Flinders and Elizabeth St cz she need to work on that day.

Heaps of pigeons infront of the tram stop.

Finally reached the salon which u can cut ur any hairstyle for $13.95! Cheap ya!

Actually Evonne just need to trim her hair. Shouldn't be a big problem!

The fat white lady started her work!

Tada!!!! Done! Pretty fast yay!

Satisfy?

Although its cheap, its not under expectation!

Pretty is here!

After that, we went to have a short shopping in the city. We went to Big W and guess what we got for ourselves? Heheheh.....

U'll know soon...

And when i got home, received this thingy from DHL. Whats inside?

Remember i blogged something bout my Nokia mobile's battery? Here is the link:
http://dreamztree.blogspot.com/2007/09/new-nokia-battery-frm-nokia.html#links

They said they will collect the old battery back and i was wondering how they will collect it back? Hmmm... And here is the answer when i received the 2nd deliver from DHL.

They gave you another DHL bag, then 1st u wrap your old battery with the bubble wrap.

There was an instruction guide for you!

After that put the old battery into a impraboard and put it into a bag.

Then oni u put it into the DHL bag.

After that, you have to call DHL to collect the thing frm your house but its free!

After that, look what we played with Jeremy's ball? kekekeke

Dont ever say Evonne is heavy ok? The ball was ok after she stood on it! No problem at all! Can u do it as well?

See!

Well ok, remember i said we went to Big W and bought something? Mine cost me $9.82 which means $9.80 after rounded. Whats that?

A shoe! This is Evonne's new shoe! Hers is abit more exy. $13.95. Yet still cheap huh?

Pretty isnt it?

Lady...

Leng lui

Added in mine!

Like it very much!

Try on Evonne's shoe.

We both exchanged.

And mine!

昨日看了看家里的書架，不自覺的把目光停留在一本厚厚、黑黑的書上。上面寫著《公元二千年坤成女子中學第四十四屆高中畢業特刊》。我有多久沒看這本特刊了？嗯，很久很久了······幾乎把它給忘了。

把它翻了翻，心里頭可是像打翻了五味瓶里的醬似的，甜、酸、苦、辣、咸，樣樣具備。看著全體畢業生合照時，也看到了自己以前慘不忍睹的樣子，忍不住笑了起來。又看了全體老師合照，才發覺我把很多老師的名字給忘了，真對不起諸位老師。

翻到了校園的那幾頁，不經意起當年的情形。在坤中的六個年頭里，把坤中的每一寸土地都踏遍了，而現在再看，竟會有既熟悉、又陌生的感覺。現在建了新校舍與招收了小學弟後，有變成了什么模樣呢？好久沒回去了······當日的恩師，還在那兒執教嗎？還是早就退休了呢？

教職員贈言，寫著全體老師對我們那一屆畢業生的祝福。看著老師的玉照，也漸漸記起了老師的名字，他們當時為我們上課時的點點滴滴，他們洪亮的聲音、他們的口頭禪、他們的小動作，還有他們的綽號，嘻嘻。你，還記得這一切一切嗎？

還記得我們班的簡介嗎？

朵朵含苞待放的花兒在花農細心灌溉下，綻放它們的美麗，萬紫千紅的美麗花圃為高三純商，咱們的花農是鐘春香老師。兩位盡責的班長、三位潔癖的清潔股長、催“錢”判官財政、購物成狂的總務、“手”不停“寫”的文書、出“手”成“畫”的學術，還有口水泛濫成災的風紀及活躍的康樂，都是花圃里較搶眼的。其他的小花兒各有長短之處，正是“梅須遜雪三分白，雪卻輸梅一段香”。話雖如此，若無小花兒，豈能襯托出搶眼的花兒呢？望大家慢慢的欣賞這花圃之美。

慢慢地翻到了純商快報（當日無知的我的杰作），更一起的當年一起走過的時光。運動會時大家一起為班上的選手大氣，高喊口號。為了運動會而勤練pom pom 舞，一起制作錦旗，一起制作pom pom。運動會後，還去電話飯店吃晚餐。

我們的廢紙回收活動，Bukit Gasing 爬山，在課室、電腦室、四合院、籃球場、大禮堂旁的幼稚園游樂場，都有著我們當年的腳印。

暮然回首，如今已過了8載，當年十八歲的我們，如今已26歲了。我們當中，有很多人也當了人家的老婆，甚至是媽媽。億當年，是老人家的話兒，難道，我們真的那么老了嗎？

又一首老歌是這樣唱的：

時光一去永不會，往事只能回味～

糟了，越寫就越老了。算了，不再寫了。

好久都沒大家聚在一起了，今年的聚會，你們會來嗎？美珊，我們再搞一次聚會，好嗎？嘻嘻······
