Because of Ipad 2... ???

I will never understand why this kind of incident happened all because of gadget. Although I am not a big fans of gadget stuff, but I do keep myself updated with the news of latest stuffs. I know when it comes to Apple fans, there are always lots of crazy people showing off what they can do with their devices. Unfortunately, when people go beyond sanity, this could happen as it was in the news. From the love towards the device to crime conviction, is just too much.

As written in the news (which I posted below), culprit splashed paint towards people who queue up to buy Ipad2 in front of a computer store in Hong Kong. For whatever reason the culprit might have, he is already a irrational person. Is it really just a revenge attack against the victim as stated in the news, or it is something else. I guess commercialism is evil.... hahaha~

iPad 2 buyers in HK hit with white paint
THE couple had been queueing for the much-coveted iPad 2 at Kowloon Bay in Hong Kong for almost a full day.

Just as they reached the front of the line, the unexpected happened.

Mr Bai and his wife, along with several other people in the queue, became victims of a paint-splashing attack, reported the Oriental Daily.

The 70-year-old and his wife joined the queue at 7pm on Wednesday at an overhead bridge near the Kowloon Bay subway station and got to the front of the line at4pmthe next day.

They were among five people waiting for their turn to enter the computer shop when a man in his 20s suddenly hurled white paint at Mr Bai.

The culprit fled immediately.

Eight other people near Mr Bai weren't spared. The police confirmed that two men and seven women, including Mr Bai's wife, were splashed with white paint.

Mr Bai and his wife, Madam Mo, 72, Madam Xiao, 66and a 25-year-old Indonesian woman were later sent to hospital for a check-up.

Mr Bai suspected it might be a revenge attack. He said he had quarrelled with two people from mainland China while in the queue on Wednesday night.

He said he and his wife are Hong Kong residents.

They were hoping to buy the iPad 2 devices and sell them to Hong Kong computer resellers. They estimated they could earn HK$200 (S$32) to HK$400 from each unit they sold.

Mr Bai said they had done the same when the iPhone was launched.

Police are investigating the attack.

This is not the first paint attack involving queues for the iPad 2 since its launch in Hong Kong on April 29.

On May 9, a mainland Chinese man was splashed with red paint outside a shopping mall in Sheung Shui.

On May 16, two fights erupted outside a shopping mall in Tuen Mun. Two men and two women were injured.

And customs officers in Huanggang, Hubei province, found 240 iPad 2 devices smuggled in from Hong Kong.

Kuala Lumpur Bird Park : World Largest Free-Flight Walk-in Aviary

My first visit to the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park since I was born in Kuala Lumpur. It was really a fun experience by having the chance to get close to all kinds of birds. I never know that my country have all these birds until my visit to the park. Here some introduction about the place and hope you all pay a visit to the park one day.

Located in the serene and scenic Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens, it is only 10 minutes drive away from the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. It is the home to more than 3,000 birds of approximately 200 species of local and foreign birds.

Sprawling approximately 20.9 acres of verdant valley terrain, the park is divided into 4 zones; Zone 1 and 2 make up the free-flight zone; Zone 3 is the Hornbill Park and Zone 4 is where the birds are placed in separate cages and mini aviaries.

One of KL Bird Park's most extraordinary feature is that in Zone 1, 2 and 3, birds are let free in the aviary which closely resembles their natural habitat. With this free-flight concept, birds are able to breed naturally in this unique environment.

Visitors will have an exciting experience of watching colourful and melodic birds perching and winging about freely while relaxing in a natural and beautifully landscaped surrounding. KL Bird Park is also reputed to be the largest walk-in free-flight aviary in the world.

电影：单身男女

今天我才看了这套电影。很多人都说好看，果然杜琪峰导演的戏就是有意思，有深度。我本身蛮喜欢爱情浪漫的电影小品，况且这电影还有香港两位会演戏的帅哥与气质美女高圆圆，肯定有看头！帅哥我不说了，但是高圆圆还真是让我印象深刻的美女演员。我第一次是在马楚成的电影“男才女貌”里看见她。脸孔漂亮是一定的，还有她演戏时的感觉很不一样，很生活化，很自然。如果说她脸上什么最吸引我的注意力，我看是她那美丽的笑容加上很白的牙齿！哈哈哈。。。！

我相信很多人看了电影，也看了影评，也发表了意见。无论是好还是不好，电影里表达的爱情观，幽默但又写实的手法，是导演与编剧们的心思。我本身对这部电影是有很高的评价。一套好的电影，细节是非常重要的。“单身男女”表达了现代城市里人们对待爱情的模式和想法。电影情节很多是真实生活中爱情的影子，而且很可能身边的朋友就有着这么些相似的故事。能让观众产生共鸣的电影，就已经成功抓着观众的情绪。虽然有些时候电影里的情节有点做作，不现实，但是拍电影原本就是要把故事的点放大，那样观众才能感受那视觉与情绪的波动。除了这些要素，真正让我感受到是电影里表达爱情的方法，那就是当爱情撇开了对话而剩下了文字的那一刻。在讯息直接的时代里，我们都忘了很多东西都需要空间，包括爱情。很多时候，我们都把话说得很白，大家都不想浪费大家的时间。逐渐的我们都把空间塞满了，透不过气，压力也很大。以前我们要表达爱情，我们都用文字，而文字的魔力恰恰就是让人有无比的想象空间。有想象就有期待，这样的爱情才是精彩的。

电影里有很多设计的浪漫手法。譬如隔窗的纸条传情，变魔术，惊喜连连的桥段，激情的时刻等等都是男女调情的重要的元素。爱情的过程离不开行动，语言和文字。以前有句话，男人的爱情观是要如何不停的寻找新鲜，而女人就是想着如何让爱情保鲜。过程中各求所需，然后找个平衡点，共求存在。每段爱情的磨擦，浪漫都是记忆点，而各人爱情的结局就是看他如何对待其中的变化。戏中两位男主角都是两极化的性格。一位是熟食爱情主义者，冲动和容易受到诱惑。另一位是忠实专一的人，肯付出也很诚恳。女主角在两人之间周旋，一方面向往刺激与神秘，但是却害怕没安全感。理想和现实的矛盾是三角关系里永远让人不知所措。但是电影的结局依然靠向了理性那一边，“火星男”终于抱得美人归。可想而知，在寻找幸福中，女人依然是希望稳定的关系。

单身男女绝对是值得看的一部电影，也希望各位看后对爱情多了份思考。保留些空间给爱情吧！

最后我对电影的小评分：
故事情节： 4.0 / 5
浪漫指数： 3.5 / 5

Heartless Tainted Food and Daily Products in Malaysia!!

Tainted food in China have been an issue for sometimes and as we all know the seriousness of the damage been done. From the most "famous" poison baby milk to sewage cooking oil, rotten meat, hair made soy sauce and many others unimaginable food and products. Just because of maximizing the profit, people can be so heartless to make tainted poison foods and products. Some of the photos taken from China about the factory or place that produce those things really make me sick. I feel lucky because Malaysia do not have that kind of bad stuff besides bed and pillow cases which happened before. Unfortunately that is over, and now tainted food and other products were found! Few days ago the headlines from newspapers about "bungalow" situated in Gombak was producing those tainted products have been discover. Selangor Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Department enforcement officers took action based on report from synonymous about people collecting large amount of expired food and products. According from the officer, more than 4000 tainted items have been found in the bungalow. The syndicate actually wash and repack the expired products and foods, then sell it out again to the public. Two of the workers from the scene, a 50-year-old Malaysian women and a 34-year-old Indonesian had been caught.

Now we really need to double and triple check on the goods in the market to ensure it is save to consume. Lets us all hope we will not be one of the victim... Here the quoted news from The Star Online and China Press.

> China Press reported of a syndicate operating from a bungalow in Gombak that repacked expired products, including milk powder, juice, canned food and toothpaste, to be sold to restaurants and food outlet operators.

Selangor Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Department enforcement officers tracked down the syndicate on Tuesday night.

The syndicate collected the expired products from dustbins, dumpsites, grocery shops or factories to be repacked.

An officer said the syndicate would sell the expired products, some of which had expired three years ago, to restaurants and mamak stall operators.

Two women a 50-year-old Malaysian and a 34-year-old Indonesian had been detained for investigation, it reported.

收逾期品．洗了再賣 黑心風吹來馬
獨家報導：梁國俊

（鵝嘜11日訊）本地黑心集團大量回收逾期食用品后，“再循環”推出市場銷售！

為了瞞過執法單位的法眼，這個黑心集團更把“再循環”工廠設在豪宅內，聘請本地婦孺和印尼外勞，從垃圾桶、垃圾槽、雜貨店和工廠等地方大量收取過期和被丟棄的食用品。

起4000件逾期產品

黑心集團接著在豪宅內把逾期產品清洗乾淨，塗掉產品上的有效使用期，或撕掉包裝紙后，以比市面上更為低廉的價錢，重新轉售給代理或推出市場銷售。

被黑心集團“再循環”銷售的產品包括牛奶、飲料、煉奶、可可粉、牙膏、罐頭食品、冰棒、沐浴露、潤膚霜、衛生棉和紙尿片等。

來自雪州的貿消部執法組，昨晚10時15分突擊一間位于鵝嘜路10英哩甘榜雙溪沙叻的雙層獨立式豪宅時，揭發此案。

貿消部執法組主任奧曼在現場召開記者會說，當局是接獲有人大量回收逾期產品的情報后，展開追查，最終在監視該豪宅1週后，于昨晚由他親自率領10官員展開行動。

他說，當局在豪宅內共起獲超過4000件各類逾期產品，這些產品的原本市價逾3萬令吉，但因為已逾期，所以已一文不值。

“黑心集團卻利用這些產品，清洗乾淨后，甚至沒有重新包裝，就推出市場銷售，危害人間。”

他說，當局也發現他們連在垃圾桶找到那些不但已逾期，甚至已包裝已毀損的產品，也拿來“再循環”售賣。

奧曼說，當局目前援引1972年貿消法令調查此案。

再循環產品逾期3年

逾期產品“再循環”工廠操作已有一段時間，貿消部將追查及回收已流入市面的“再循環”產品！

奧曼說，這個集團的活躍地區是在鵝嘜，所以當局將派出官員，嚴密監視及追查市面上的產品，並追查黑心集團的幕后主腦以及代理網絡，全面充公或回收已流入市面的“再循環”產品。

他說，兩名被當局逮捕的50歲本地女子和34歲印尼籍女子，將成為當局緝拿黑心集團幕后主腦的關鍵人物。

另外，他也呼籲消費者在購物時，務必檢查商品的有效日期，切莫購買那些曾經被塗改過或有缺陷的產品。

黑心集團“再循環”售賣產品

冰棒, 牛奶, 飲料, 煉奶, 可可粉, 牙膏, 罐頭食品, 沐浴露, 潤膚霜, 衛生棉, 紙尿片, 茶葉

Addiction to Mini Games - Angry Birds, FarmVille, Plants vs. Zombies

I believed most of the people at least played one of these 3 games before. Frankly I am not a big fans of the mini games in the market, but can't deny that the addiction towards these 3 mini games is a "threat" to our "daily life". I am not here to discuss about the "threat", but I am more interested in what make the games so attractive and what is the reason behind which people willing to hold the device in their hands for hours. I am no expert in the field who qualified to analyst the "phenomenon", just pure curiosity in me... Before I start with my bullshitting, let us have a little understanding on these 3 games. (*information from wikipedia)

ANGRY BIRDS (Puzzle Video Game)
In Angry Birds, players take control of a flock of multi-colored birds that are attempting to retrieve eggs that have been stolen by a group of evil green pigs. On each level, the pigs are sheltered by structures made of various materials such as wood, ice and stone, and the object of the game is to eliminate all the pigs in the level. Using a slingshot, players launch the birds with the intent of either hitting the pigs directly or damaging the structures, which would cause them to collapse and kill the pigs. In various stages of the game, additional birds type and objects such as explosive crates and rocks are found in the levels, and may be used in conjunction with the birds to destroy hard-to-reach pigs.

FARMVILLE (Social Network Game)

The player begins with an empty farm and a fixed starting amount of "farm coins", the primary currency in the game. Players also earn experience points for performing certain actions in the game such as plowing land or buying items. At certain experience benchmarks, the player's level rises. As the player obtains more items and progresses through levels, crops and animals become available to them via the "market" where items can be purchased using either farm coins or "farm cash". Farm cash is earned by leveling up or completing offers, or purchased for real money.

PLANTS VS ZOMBIES ( Tower Defense Action Video Game)
In Plants vs. Zombies, players place different types of plants and fungi, each with their own unique offensive or defensive capabilities, around a house in order to stop a horde of zombies from devouring the brains of the residents. The playing field is divided into a number of horizontal tracks, and with some exceptions, a zombie will only move towards the player's house along one track. Most plants can only attack or defend against zombies in the track they are planted in. In the game's initial levels, if the zombie reaches the player's house, a one-shot tool (a lawn mower or pool cleaner) can be used to completely wipe out zombies in that track, but the tool will not be restored until the next level. In later levels, players have to purchase upgrades so as to adapt their lawn-mower to new environments like pools or rooftops. Except in special cases, Zombies attempt to devour any plants in their way while heading towards the house.

As you all already know, the 3 games can be easily access from mobile devices, which means it reach to the mass anytime and any place, as long as there is network if needed. From the basic understanding on the gameplay, it is simple, straight forward and most of all is CUTE!! Since the games come in "handy", people tend to play it just to kill time. In the subway, in the bus, in boring class...etc or play it just because it is fun. The X-factor of the success besides addictive gameplay, in my opinion, would be CUTE. The "CUTE" factor can almost "conquer" all the minds of the population in the world. For example, kids like cute stuff and parents can easily "control" their kids by giving them a device and let them sit aside and play with it. Guys can take these games as a reason or chat topics to go after girls because girls always like cute stuff! Of course girls are attracted to cute things, but what's help is playing these games, they can ignore the guys they don't like or a mind escape from the surrounding. Everyone have their own reasons for liking these games, and therefore it succeeded. When the "brand" stay inside your mind, the merchandise products will be the next wave to suck your money into their pockets...

Anyway, thanks to the games developers, now everyone can have their fingers exercise regularly... :D

Crazy Serial Acid Splasher in Kuala Lumpur !!!

What is wrong with the people nowadays? Is it because of stress or something bad happened which drive people to the level of madness and start hurting someone else for pleasure? Due to high crime rate in the city, especially snatch thieves who drove motorcycle around the city and looking for target, and now we have a new threat which is the ACID SPLASHER !!!

I remembered last year, there was news about acid splasher in Hong Kong as well and their police actually caught one of the suspect. Unfortunately there were few incidents which police believed were done by different people. Hong Kong police actually put up HK$1,700,000 of prize money for the wanted suspect.

According from The Star Online news, the victims were all women and lately added a baby in the victim list. From my point of view, this crazy bastard is mentally ill and hatred on women. His past might have something which made him a serial acid splasher today and I believe he actually enjoy the scream of pain from the women. I hope this crazy criminal can be caught as soon as possible and lock him in the jail forever...

Here the news from StarOnline:-

Acid splasher now a stalker

By STEVEN DANIEL
stevend@thestar.com.my

KUALA LUMPUR: Police are concerned as a serial acid splasher who is believed to be responsible for more than 20 attacks on women and children in the city has begun to strike at night.

All of the earlier attacks which started early this year had occurred in the day.

However, on Friday, three women were attacked 30 minutes apart at around 9pm in the city area.

In the first case, two women who were walking along Jalan Pudu Lama were splashed with acid by a man on a motorcycle leaving one of them with severe burns that almost blinded her left eye.

Half an hour later, another woman had acid splashed on her at a parking lot, believed to be by the same man.

On Saturday, a woman and her year-old baby were attacked at their home in Persiaran Titiwangsa.

City police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah said a task force, formed since the beginning of the initial attacks, was examining the facts of the latest attacks to determine if they were the work of the same man.

Meanwhile, the father of the woman who was severely burned in the eye, Mohammad Salleh, said his daughter was responding well to treatment when met at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital intensive care unit yesterday.

“Doctors believe they may be able to save her left eye. But she also suffered 5% burns on her face and chest,” he said.

The other victims had reacted quickly by washing their faces with water, resulting in little or no lasting injuries.

Sources, however, pointed out that despite the sudden change in the time of the suspect’s attacks, he still primarily targeted women and children.

DCP Zulkifli was reported earlier as saying the police were taking the matter very seriously as the attacks were beginning to cause panic among city folks.

The only lead police have on the identity of the suspect is that he is of dark complexion and rides either a Honda EX5 or Yamaha motorcycle.

A Late Night Song

Lately I am addicted into a song every time before I sleep. It sound like a sad song and the singer is a famous Korean female vocal named "Jung In". I am really into Kpop since like 9 months ago and my favorite song would be something which can make me feel relax at night. Although I did not understand what the song means besides the translated song name, but i truly believe a good song can touch someone emotion even if it is in different languages. Korean entertainment industry really did a good job and advance pretty well by bringing the best of Hallyu wave to the world. The quality speaks the truth and only with quality, it will stay and not be forgotten.

Ok enough with all these words, let's enjoy the nice song with music video.

Jung In (Ft. Park Shi Yeon) - Rainy Season MV [HD]

电影：关云长

这套电影，这个题材，这位大人物，本来就不是一个简单的任务。广泛的层面上，许多人对这电影都有许多的争议。不同的人，不同的知识水平，不同的观点，都是每个人私下对这电影的见解。我游览了些网页，很多人对这电影的评语都是比较负面的。但是，我个人看了这电影后，觉得其实电影拍得蛮不错。我很不明白为何有些人看电影就喜欢批评，好的没说，却一直执著于负面的观点，一点都不全面，不主观。

先说说我对这电影的想法。之所以我觉得是好电影，主要是在剧情的创意上。如果各位有看过那原本“罗贯中著作的三国演义”小说，其实里边对于关羽成为曹操的俘虏，然后过五关斩六将的细节描写并不多。然而电影编剧却选用了这情节作为描写关羽本人，然后把其中情节以比较细腻与创意的手法，刻画出关羽的内心情绪，矛盾，义气与爱情。我很佩服庄文强和麦兆辉独特的想法与勇气。一位可说是家喻户晓，然后被人摆在神台上常年供奉的神像，在电影里可以如此的人性化。很多人对于关羽刻板的印象，无论是从以前那么多的电影，电视剧，小说，漫画或神像，在“关云长”这部电影里，完全的被颠覆。那代表性的关刀与长长的胡须是最让人印象深刻的。在香港电视剧里，不管黑道还是白道，都拜关羽哥。人们对于关羽的性格了解就是义气。一般人们都不会想到关羽也是人，也有七情六欲。然而，电影制造了关羽“不一般”的性格，表达了很多“普通人”的一面。当然少不了的还有关羽的高超武艺，都一一的表现在电影里。全“宇宙”最好打的演员甄子丹来演这角色，是最好不过。因为在现实的生活，甄子丹也是一位铁汉柔情的人。武术好又能弹得一手好钢琴的人，真是难得啊~ 姜文饰演的曹操也别有一番“风味”。性格有些狡猾，却不失霸气；心思甚密，有点深不见底的感觉。还有一位让我期待的人就是安志杰。目前在香港电影里有真实力的年轻武打明星，就是他了。我非常欣赏他无论是武打动作，还是样貌上都绝对是武打明星的接班人。他饰演的角色孔秀，与关羽对打的场面是整个电影里的最刺激的一幕。甄子丹以武术指导的身份，巧妙的设计了在小巷的对打动作，表现出关羽武艺的精湛。两种以长度取胜的武器在小巷里局限的发挥，可说是很有新鲜感。除此之外，小细节如现实里如果关羽时时刻刻留着长胡须，在战场杀敌是很不方便的。电影以逻辑性的出发点，把胡须给修了。还有关羽手上的武器不是无时无刻都拿着青龙偃月刀，都是比较逻辑的。然而，很不幸，马来西亚的电影院上映的关云长却是粤语版的，配音上真的大大的破坏了情绪。我曾经听过某某电台的一位所谓“电影评论家”绰号电影辉，说对这电影很失望。最令我火大的是，他说他是“蕉仔”，不会读写华文，在评语中却假装很了解三国演义，故事人物等等。还说什么“刘青云”声音演绎曹操表现很好，真的是狗屁不通！粤语配音最差的就是曹操，完全表现不出霸气。还有他说电影不应该名为关云长，因该改名为曹操。他妈的，如果连三国演义都没读过的，被俘虏的那段故事又怎么会了解？小说里关羽被俘虏期间与曹操交流是最多，不拍曹操，那拍什么！！虽然每个人都可以发表自己的一番言论，但是过了底线，在大众传播里误导别人对这电影的认识，还真是让我听不下去。如果不是很认识电影的故事的来龙去脉，请不要装专业，废话乱编！

这里，我希望当你看这部电影时，请多多留意其中的创意。如果对情节不了解的，可以看小说或上网看资料。多点认识这名著，也不妨。。。

最后我对电影的小评分：
故事情节：3.5 / 5
武打动作：3.5 / 5

又是一个重新的开始

想不到放弃了这么多年的Blog，现在又重新的写上。这是我人生的第一个Blog，曾经记录了我不少的情绪。辗转多年，写过其他的Blog，却又回到了“乌鸦记事簿”。。。看来情感上对它依依不舍啊~ 感觉人老了，字体表达也没以前好。偶尔能在这儿写上些废话，如果有小猫两三只“路过”我的Blog, 还能赚些广告小钱，那就开心了，呵呵。。。

人生漫长的三十岁现在开始吧！
