在纽约谈毒奶粉 温家宝：我感到很痛心

Recently, I read a news article regarding the China Prime Minister Wen Jiabao speaking of the public health scare caused by contaminated baby milk formula in China at New York UN Meetings. It's is written as below :

中国总理温家宝在纽约说，三鹿毒奶粉事件给消费者特别是婴幼儿的身体健康带来了极大危害，也造成了严重的社会影响，作为政府负责人，他感到十分痛心，但更重要的是从这场事件中吸取教训。

　　温家宝总结了毒奶粉事件带给中国的三点教训：要确保产品质量，特别是食品安全，决不能以牺牲人民的健康和生命换取企业的发展；要加强制度建设，从原料生产、加工、流通、消费每个环节都要进行严格监督和检查；要重视社会道德建设。

　　温家宝在出席美国各对华友好团体为他举行的欢迎宴会时再度被问及毒奶粉事件。他保证，中国将从根本上改善产品质量和食品安全状况，中国的产品特别是食品，不仅要符合国际标准，也要符合进口国的要求。

温家宝在谈到毒奶粉事件时“表情肃然、语气沉重”。他强调，一个企业家身上应该流着道德的血液，只有把看得见的企业技术、产品和管理，以及背后引导他们并受他们影响的理念、道德和责任，两者加在一起才能构成经济和企业的DNA。

Personally, I felt it should be the sanlu company group that should have apologised to the whole world. Although the government had taken actions to execute and firing those officials that being bribes. But the government should have enforce them to step up and face towards the public, and apologised to the world. Moreover, the government should have also enforce these officials to be responsible for this, and to resolve the remaining situations by themselves. Instead of just firing them off from the mess that they had created.

温家宝还感慨说，他担任总理六年多来“多灾多难”，从2003年沙斯疫情爆发，到今年冰雪灾害和四川特大地震，从煤矿事故到食品安全事件，这些都给予中国深刻的启示，也使中国在困难中学会了新的东西：“正像我经常所说的，一个民族在灾难中失去的，总会由进步来补偿。”

他说：“我希望留给后人两点精神遗产：第一，当遇到灾难时不要退缩，要勇于面对，并且带领人民去克服，这需要坚定、勇气和信心；第二，一个政府除了对人民的负责、服务、献身和廉洁以外，不应该有任何特权。一切权力属于人民，一切权力都要为了人民。”　
　“我希望在我离开人世之后，人们能记住这位总理，确实是按照这两点来做的。”温家宝的总结引起现场听众长时间的掌声。

From the written last paragraph of PM Wen Jiabao spoke, I was impress. No doubt he is a great leader.

An Uncle And An Auntie Fighting Over Drinks Cans

In Singapore, you will happen to see there are some people lolling at Hawker Centre awaiting to collect Drinks Cans. In fact, there are people who are depending on this for a living.

By collecting drinks cans is part of a recycle program. Usually, these collected drinks cans are resell to recycle company. However, you would need to collect it to a certain amount in order that you would be paid decently. Mostly, they will be paid according by weight, per Kg.

Normally, these collectors will wait for people who had finished their drinks. Than they will approach to their table to collect the empty cans. But there were many cases, where some collectors are animus or don't bother, even with the drinks were still half way through, they were too anxious and just took it away. These actions were rude and had piss off those people who had not finish their drinks yet.

On a particular night, my pi and mi were having dinner at a hawker centre. I happened to notice an uncle was staring at our can drinks. I had figured it out, he was awaiting to collect our drinks cans once we finish it. So i quickly pour our remaining drinks into our cups. But once our drinks cans were empty, an auntie came out from nowhere and grabbed it away.

The uncle got no time to react. He was annoy and he quickly stop that auntie who had our cans. He confronted and claimed that he had long waited for our drinks cans, which means he was priority to have our drinks cans. The auntie refused to acknowledged his claim and it's lead to an argument broke out. Soon a crowd gather, and the quarrel continues.

Both of them had spoke and behaved vulgar. The uncle was frustrated and slammed the table. But the auntie continue to scold nasty words to him. Luckily, some food stalls tenders pull them apart, and the quarrel ended. So the auntie walked away, while that uncle stood there. He was very upset and complained the situation to the crowd.

My pi and mi were shocked, we had never expected such unpleasant incident would occurred. Hum..What a night we had... Well, these were some of the real events that actually happened in Singapore, feel free to leave comments on this issue.

Bus rides with my lovely pi

Today, I had sent my van to the workshop for repairing in the morning. Later on, I meet up with my pi to go to work together. We were going to take MRT to our working place.

Normally, I would use cash to pay for the MRT and bus fares. But my pi had suggested that i should buy an ez-link card, which is more convenient and is suppose to be much cheaper. To my surprise, i had paid $15 for the card, while $7 is the card value, $3 is for deposit and $5 is for card cost (non-refundable). I had felt that it is not much worth it after all.

Around evening time, we had called up each other and were talking about going home together after work. Soon i knock off from my work at 9pm, i took a bus 190 to meet up with my pi at her work place. Later on, my pi and mi walked towards a bus stop and took a bus 16 to her sister's place to collect things from her.

Usually, I would drive and fetch my pi. We would seldom have the time while travelling, since I'm always the driver. During the bus ride, we chat a lot and enjoy our moments together. It is a sweet occasion as we could get closer together. Moreover, I don't have to worry about ERP, finding parking space, summons, jams, etc.

At her sister's place, we stop and had our dinner at a nearby hawker centre. Afterwards, we were heading home and took a bus 30 to Bedok. We were chatting and holding hands together along the way. It's is a happy moment for my pipi and mi.

When we arrived at Bedok, it was late and i walked with my pi to send her home. Thereafter, i manage to catch the last bus 228 back to my home. Although the bus rides may appear to be time constrain, but it is worth to spend time with my lovely pi. It's is a wonderful night i had.

爱情是当然很重要

爱情是当然很重要，但很多人会发现保持友情比保持爱情容易，是因为当你将所爱的人变成亲人时，你会很容易过分要求，得过且过。你只会对亲人讲出不客气的话，以及提出最多的要求。

通常越爱一个人便越想拥有他/她，但要明白，要拥有必须要放开。保持一段爱情，与爱人保持小小的距离, 将他/她放得最松，他/她才会贴得你紧。问得少，他/她才会对你讲得多。

Romantic love is very important, but many people find that it is easier to keep friendships than love, is when someone you love becomes someone very intimate in your life, you tend to demand things that are out of line, and take them for granted. It's turn out that you would only say the least courteous things to your loved one, and overly demand from them.

To love someone from a respectful distance is important, keeping your love afresh. The more you love someone, the more you would want to possess him or her, but you must understand that in order to hold, you must learn to let go. In Love, one must relax one's clutches, is for your lover to stick closer to you. When you ask less, he or she will open up and tell you even more.

No More Free Cover & Drinks For Ladies Age Above 35

On a Wednesday night, my Pi & her friends happened to go for clubbing. It is a "Ladies Night" for almost all club house in Singapore. The club suppose to dedicate free cover charge and drinks for all ladies on "Ladies Night". But my pi & her friends had found out that the privileges had been changed under circumstances.

The club has no longer provide free drinks for ladies who are age above 35. According to her friend observation, ladies who are age above 35, they will need to pay for per entry cover charge and the drinks in house. These changes had affected and disappointed the ladies, especially for those who are age over 35.

Meanwhile, in the club, many ladies who are age above 35 were annoyed and piss off. They demand an explanations from the management regard of such changes. These ladies claim that the "Ladies Night" free drinks were suppose to be carter for all ladies, no matter her age. The ladies argue that it was totally unfair to them and it had bought them to no differences between the ladies and gents.

Many incidents had occurred, some ladies were too upset and made a big fuss at the ladies drinks collection's bar counter. While there were ladies quarrelling with the bartender and some had just ignore the bartender by continuing to collect the free drinks. It had became an embarrassing and unpleasant night for these ladies.

However, my pi said that it doesn't concern her for now. But er... hopefully things will change again in future.

MapleSea Hacking Issue is getting out of hand

There are so many forum and posts regarding the hacking issues in MapleSea. It has been a month + since the hacker thing have been going on. There are Hackers steal gamers' currency in MapleStory and players blame AsiaSoft for lax security.

Many players had lost millions or even billions of Messos in Maplestory, some with their 'A' Cash ( real money ) and equipments stolen too. Players had spent real money 'A' Cash into MapleStory to buy more powers or weapons for their characters - so they can progress to higher levels of the game - as well as more mundane items like stylish clothes.

Many accounts were hacked and 'A' Cash were stolen. We had believe that the Asiasoft's servers were hacked into, and many players are charging that the company did not provide them with adequate protection. Worse, Asiasoft has not compensated them for their losses.

Many gamers called The Straits Times to complain about being shortchanged and some gamers had organised to file a police report about this issue. We had experienced that the hacking began last month somewhere in August, and is still continuing till today. I believe hundreds of accounts have been hacked into so far. Every single day, I hear of accounts being hacked into.

However, AsiaSoft seems to push the blame away to the players such as playing the game in cybercafes, whose computers are notorious for hosting Trojans which can log passwords and the like - are responsible for their losses. The recent hacking cases are nothing like what we've seen before. Players who have never logged into their accounts in cybercafes, or given away passwords, or visited malicious websites, have been hacked. Many gamers agreed, saying they are all savvy adults who know how to protect themselves online. Meanwhile, AsiaSoft says such hacking incidents for online multi-player games are fairly common, and that users should be vigilant.

AsiaSoft added that it has taken action to combat the hacking, which it says originated in China, by increasing the number of firewalls for game servers. It has also advised gamers to change their login passwords on a regular basis. But players will not be compensated for their losses which "A" Cash that was stolen from hackers. It's seem that Asiasoft is unlikely to restore the accounts in full or return the virtual cash. However, they are said to be trying to work out a compensation package.

So far, the police are investigating, but lawyers say this may bring scant relief to victims. The actions of the Singapore police are limited to this country, they say, and it is difficult to prosecute online criminals across jurisdictions.

Till today, I still hear accounts being hacked. Even with the recently game patches and security firewall measurement taken by AsiaSoft, it's has proven that it is useless against hackers. It is really getting out of hand. I felt that AsiaSoft had react too slow to deal with this situation. They should also be part of responsibility to solve this hacking issue as soon as possible to prevent any further accounts and 'A' Cash being stolen.

We, my pi and mi had not login our accounts for a month since the hacking issue surfaced. Hopefully, our characters in MapleStory are still alive and fully intact.
