Tranformers movie in Singapore

This movie was really good! I only alittle understand at Chinese subtitle on the movie screen. There had a lot of actions and funny too...

Board Politics at Rip Curl Pro Search 2007 in Arica, Chile(South America)

I know this board is awesome and faster. I like his art of the board! He was out of contest and lost to Dean aka Dingo on fourth round. Look at this board carefully!

After losing to Dingo yesterday, Kelly took time out to respond:
It's my favorite images of the war...no, not really. It's just a poster a friend of mine made to bring some awareness to what's happening in iRaq and a funny play on iPods. Pop culture meets political awareness.
Bruce Gilbert, my traveling partner and one of my best friends, started doing posters with this image on them. His website is www.forkscrew.com/.

It was originally made with numbers of troops and Iraqis killed to date but it's far outdated and the numbers are way up there now -- around 3500 US troops and between 700,000 and a million Iraqis killed since the beginning of the war!

Why is Paris Hilton going to a halfway house for three weeks bigger news than 500 Iraqis a day being killed in their own country everyday as well as lots of American troops? This is not to mention the injured, which is about ten times higher than the casualties. It's life-changing for so many people. A crime of humanity.

But wait...I'm off track. I just liked the way the colors looked, I guess. Yeah, that's all.

Deaf-mute? written by Jane Lim Ee Lee

What irks me most is that crappy show on Channel 8 at 9pm. That word, deaf-mute made me upset that i wrote the letter to Straits times forum. Here is my excerpt from Straits Times Forum Online. I am grateful that my letter is choosen over 70 letters to be on line.

Happy reading. If i am wrong in some ways, please do leave comment here.

TV programme gives wrong concept of the deaf mute
I APPLAUD the efforts on the show, The Greatest Love, now airing on Channel 8 at 9pm.
This drama showcases not only some of the disabilities in Singapore but also the social workers who are working closely with these people.
Being part of the disabled community (I am a deaf/hearing impaired person), I am really happy that this drama is able to create awareness of disabilities in the public.
However, I've noticed the usage of 'deaf-mute' on the subtitles. I would like to specifically highlight that there is a misconception of using this term in this show.
The correct and more accurate word should be either 'deaf' or 'hearing impaired'. Using 'deaf-mute' will create the wrong perception among viewers of this show that many deaf people are mute.
To educate and create more awareness to people especially young children, I would like to explain that many deaf people do have a voice box. They are able to use their voice if they are properly trained in it. When communicating, it is entirely up to them if they wish to use their voice.
Education through the media is a very important and powerful tool that will and can affect the perceptions of many people.
It would be good if MediaCorp and the production team for this drama can make an effort to correct some of the misconceptions caused and to partner the disabled community to pass on the right concepts to the general public.

my REPOND:
Hi Jane,
I like your issue of the Deaf-mute, but I dont like to say that Hearing Impaired. Do you know why? bcs hearing people invented the term of the hearing Impaired, and the hearing Impaired dont really correct term as a label as correct potical for Deaf People. It would be better to say that Hard of Hearing.. it would be more clear for Deaf people s term, and An American people will not angry term of the Hearing Impaired.. you know.

hugs,

Stupid Mexico man stole my pro camera!

I was back to Darcy s truck. I noticed that my Camera was stolen and really upset me a lot, I realized that mexico people are poor, Darcy and his friends said, " sorry to hear that and just a happen to all the people, my head was noddle "yes" so I was really thinking about my camera for three weeks, and realized that dogs are not really helpful to protect my 300 D Canon camera.

Younger Beauiful Cousin: Christine

From the dusty, higgeldy piggeldy streets of Kathmandu we crossed into the expansive plains of Tibet - the roof of the world. With rolling mountains, arid fields and an endless blue sky, everywhere we looked the scenery was dramatically alien.
Under the care of our cowboy-hat wearing Tibetan guide, Tenpa (or "Cavalier" to those in the know), our ragged group of 28 rode seven jeeps across the Tibetan desert. On the way we passed hauntingly desolate frontier towns, pony-riding farmers, monastery ruins and devout pilgrims prostrating their way across Tibet. Some of these pilgrims make 3000km journeys lying themselves flat on asphalt, dirt and snow and picking themselves up again until their hands and knees crack and bleed, all in the name of religious piety.
Unfortunately for a good portion of our time in Tibet I was hideously ill with mucuousy diarrhoea and vomiting, and I saw the inside of a fair few hospitals in Tibet (surprisingly clean and well-equipped, but all the toilets were revolting).
After five days and a few 5000m passes and witnessing a weird solar flare around the sun, we finally made it to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. Here, the results of the policy of Han Chinese immigration is prominent, with most businesses run by Chinese, the ubiquitous Communist flag and a Tianamen-style public square right in front of the Potala Palace. Our guide said a lot of the Chinese have no idea about the history of the political situation in Tibet as they never learned such things in school.
We visited a fair few monasteries and saw monks chanting, monks "debating" (more like fake slapping each other) and lots of yak butter candles.
After the end of our 7-day overland tour, a group of 10 of us decided to hire two jeeps for an overnight trip just outside of Lhasa. We visited lake Nam-tso, "the highest saltwater lake in the world", at 4718m. (Not to be confused with Lake Titikaka, "the highest navigable lake in the world"; or Panch Pokhri in Nepal, "the world's highest lake".) At the lakeside, Kris and I rode yaks for five yuan apiece, hiked up another 200 metres to the lookout on the hill and took a lot of jumping photographs (the ingenious idea of two Danish girls).
Then it was back to Lhasa for some much-needed R+R in the form of tasty nosh, beer and a visit to a bass-thumping nightclub filled with Lhasa's cashed-up socialites - all on a Wednesday night. I have no idea how a city of 270,000 can support such a flash mega club, but by gad, is it doing good business!

Next: around China in 48 hours (by train).

Our hometown of surfer: Gabe Kling!

Heat 8: Kelly Slater (USA) 15.17 def. Gabe Kling (USA) 9.50

Klingy may have escaped the curse of the dreaded 33rd here at Teahupoo, but he still fell prey to 8X ASP World Champion Kelly Slater. Slats’ pair of 7.0s left the rookie needing a couple of good scoring waves to stay in contention.

Gabe will go home with an equal 17th, Slater will take on Jeremy Flores in Round 4.

Spiderman 3 Movie

Last night, Mohan and I went to watch movie called Spiderman 3. I think, that spiderman 3 is better than 1 and 2 parts. I suggest you to watch this movie!
