How much is the cost of a smart phone

Think of them when we use our electronic gadgets.. its on the expense of their poor life.. you pay money to get a new phone but they pay their life to earn a living.. 

Benzene is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor, which is frequently found in paints and coatings. It evaporates quickly when exposed to air, thus the main route of exposure (47-80%) is through inhalation. Benzene can also be absorbed through the skin when in direct contact with a source, such as gasoline. Health hazards of benzene include leukemia, particularly acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Reference: gigabase

Beneze is banned in many countries, however, not in China. You might think that's none of your business, but don't forget, when you walk down an aisle in a shopping mall, how many products are actually made in China? and these toxic (e.g. Benzene) evaporates in the air and also can be absorbed through the skin! You're at the risk too that you might not even know.

Put the pressure on those brands and the chain, minimized the hazardous chemicals and use alternative. All they ask for, just a safe working environment and be treated as a human.

Please come home MH370.

Very sorry to the victims and their family, not only for their lost, but also the fact that they have to bear with our idiot ministers. Sigh.. like it or not.. the Prime Minister went to wet market at this critical time to buy RM 1 chicken (though a lot of people would love to know where to get that RM 1 chicken, but don't you have something more important to do??)... next, Minister of transportation was caught laughing right in front of so many international media, when everybody is in grief and so worry about the 239 passengers on board.. furthermore, you should check on his brilliant answer too... on why the two passengers with falsified documents were not detected (in fact, the stolen passports are well listed in the interpol database)...

Talking about the rescue plan... when US, China, Vietnam, Singapore and other countries are busy searching, tracing, investigating... we have our "secret weapon" -- Bomoh (witch or shaman)... after some spells and magic show, bomoh said the plane is either hanging in the sky or hidden in the sea...

The next even hilarious thing is, Malaysian Airlines (MAS) offers free flight and accommodation for those victims' family members from Beijing to come to Malaysia (perhaps they can enjoy our beach and sunshine at the meantime??)... BUT instead of Kuala Lumpur, a few of them were "found landed" in India... (LOL/ROFL)

I feel really sorry to the incident... and sorry to my beloved country for having so many incapable idiots in the ministry especially... with the way they "work", you can expect more "jokes" are coming up..

After so many days, it might seems very unlikely but still we hope miracles would happen...
Please come home safely MH370...

12 Years A Slave -- Horrific True Story

Imagine one day you're a free man, the next you become a slave... a property of the other person...
The last supper as a free man
Wake up in the hell
This is a true story about a black, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who was kidnapped and sold as a slave. He was sent away from his family, his friends, his life and everything was once belong to him. He merely survive through threaten, pain, struggles and hopeless years of twelves.
Slaves

History of slavery had reveal how ugly a human could be. In the bottom of heart, we know which is wrong but we still followed blindly and forgiving ourselves with excuses. Even today, "slavery" is still exists around us. Typically women and child abuse, animal abuse, racism, homophobia, and all sort of social issues, are happening everyday. In the movie, Solomon was eventually saved by a Canadian abolitionist (Brad Pitt) after 12 years. However, there were so many other slaves, who were not as "lucky" as Solomon and were even suffered to death.

Taken away our name, identity, race, gender, nationality, money, we are all the same, human. No human is less than a human. The resources on our mother of earth is more than enough to cater the needs of everyone, but never adequate to fulfill the desire of a single man.
A better world starts from you, not somebody.

Don't wait for somebody to change the world, we all are the somebody. Voice out!!

Kelud Volcano Eruption on Valentine's Day 2014

It is so lucky to have this one unforgettable experience! Just one day after we seen the beautiful Borobudur sunrise and done the tour in Yogyakarta, volcano (Gunung Kelud) about 300km away erupted in early this morning. Indeed, we had just visited Mt. Merapi yesterday, which is also an active volcano (40km away) nearer to Yogyakarta town.

Honestly, it was amazing to have witness the power of nature. Ashes flying/covered all over the place like snowing. The local people says "hujan abu" which means "ashes rain". Airport was shut down and most of the shops are closed mainly due to the bad visibility. The cars and transport are hardly move on the streets. The ashes was few inches thick. Though it is 200km away, the eruption, the impact is so huge. Couldn't imagine what if it was Mt Merapi, which is just right here in Jogya, the situation must be even worst.




News reported gravels drop from sky in area nearer to the Kelud (10km radius). All residents have been evacuated to safer place.

Throughout the trip in Yogyakarta, we gotten the invaluable experience, joy and peace. Hope the city will be recover soon and minimized the lost. Deep appreciation to the Edelweiss Hotel Yogyakarta, Rumah Boedi Borobudur, the becah and tuk tuk drives, and authentic food. Those experiences are definitely worth more than money could buy.

The Journey 一路有你

A great movie. It combines all the cultural practice of Chinese in Malaysia, a very typical and conservative family, but love is above everything.


The story is about conflicts between a father and a daughter. The daughter was grown up separated from her father (not by her own choice). The daughter was upset being sent away by the father which he thought that was the best benefit for the daughter. Years after, the daughter finally come back with her boyfriend/fiance who is a westerner with completely different thinking, background and habits. The story goes around the father and the son-in-law, the acceptance and tolerance, laughter and tears, all because of love. Though most of the actors are fresh, they did the job beautifully, bringing out the true message and touch the audiences.

Do Not Litter

Yes, I want to talk about rubbish!
It's so unbelievable, people throwing rubbish out of the car on the road! Such a nice car, but fetching tribe of monkeys? (feel sorry to the monkeys).
Seriously you think the rubbish thrown out would disappeared itself?? Oh, it's out of your car, so it's none of your business?? Please be civilized, learn the first lesson "Do not litter" before go on the road or anywhere out of your own house (Yes, you may litter inside your house if you're enjoying it so much!)

Wish you the best

To my dear old friend,

Sometimes and somehow along the way we grow, people comes and people goes.
I might not follow you like I was before. I might have not been talking to you for sometimes.
Surely you had gone through changes and so did I.

Yes, I felt hesitate to call you after so many years. It's weird to tell you that, "Oh, how's life? I miss you". But again, deep in my heart, you are always my dear friend, and I care about you like always.

Hand make flora workshop

It was a program helping women in a community service, for leisure and perhaps home business.
Simple materials, cloth, scissors, needle and skill.

In two hours training, here's the hand-make beautiful flora hair pin.


Money can't buy the joy of do-it-yourself.
