All of you might know that there has been advertisements, videos, campaign and many others about saving the world. The most recent video that Singapore has produce is Saving Gaia by Channel News Asia. But I want to ask you whether you know about this show and most of the answer is no. That is not a surprise for me. The government has done many ways to create awareness to the people about saving the world by not using plastic bags instead using recycled bags. But what i have been noticing is that people just do not care and they take this so lightly. They do not know what is really happening to the world. The good thing is that the government is not giving up even alot of people seem to not care about this. They will try their very best to convince the people how important in saving the world. I just hope that the people of Singapore will be aware of what is going to happen to the world if we do not start at this very moment.

Everything is up, up, and up. Oil prices have went up, and even food prices have went up. Inflation is going to happen again if these prices is always on the rise. I understand if oil prices is on the rise as now it has become limited resources but i could not find any reason why food prices should go up. When this food prices goes up, families from the lower income group may find difficulties surviving. Last time Singaporeans used to flock to Malaysia to buy their groceries and to fill their cars with petrol before leaving Malaysia. But when the Prime Minister of Malaysia increased the oil prices, many of their people protested. The reason he used that Singapore is making use of the oil prices in Malaysia. But the thing is he never think what reactions will he get from his people when he increase the oil prices. But doing this it does not affect Singaporeans as oil prices in Singapore is expensive so we are used to it already. I hope that this will end soon.

We all know that Malaysia and Singapore have a dispute on who should own that lighthouse an two other small islands in that same area. But the results from the International Court of Justice or known as ICJ has made the decision that Singapore own Pedra Branca and one of the island belongs to Malaysia. But there is still another island which is still under consideration. For what i have know is that Singapore agrees to settle it with Malaysia in a peaceful way. The minister of foreign affairs in Singapore has said that this dispute of Pedra Branca will not affect the relationship between Singapore and Malaysia.
Actually, I think that these two countries should have settle the matter themselves or rather in a peaceful way without involving another party to help to solve the matter. It is just a small matter and they need to bring the matter all the way to the court just to know that who should own that islands. It is so ridiculous. But after the ICJ made their decision, I feel that the ICJ had made the right one so that they will be fair to both parties. And for the other island, I am glad that both countries are willing to settle themselves and also hope that this kind of small matter will not happen again. Both countries should learn how to communicate better thats all because both countries are lacking in communication.

This never happens before. The same cyclone hits two countries. Shocking. This tragedy should have reach to you by now. Everyone in the world knows that a terrible disaster have strike two country which is China and Myanmar. The toll of death or missing has reached almost 40,000 and Myanmar has reached 100,000 and counting. When the neighbouring countries recieved the news that these countries has been strucked by a disaster, an urgent meeting was held by the ASEAN leaders. They discussed on how they can help in any ways. Most of the countries offered their helps in terms of money or medical aid. Singapore has collected money in many ways including in our school. Other than money, Singapore has decided to send their medical teams and rescue teams to these disaster areas. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) has sent their DART teams to the affected area.
I am proud to be a Singaporean. When disaster strikes, singaporeans try to help in whatever ways they can to help this people who are affected in this disaster. There was once I was waiting for my friend near the toilet and there is this AXS machine where people used to pay their bills and fines. But this man did not do that. What he did was he went into this Red Cross portal which allows people to make their donations easier. But this man donated a huge sum of money without thinking. I hope that others will follow the foot steps of this man.

Most of you guys are wondering what is Pangea day right? Basically in a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it’s easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that – to help people see themselves in others – through the power of film. During that period there is a broadcast of short film produced by film makers from all over the world. Their aim was to spread the love and peace too every corner of the world. This was a dream of a film maker,Jehane Noujaim who wished to change a world to a better place. Thousands and millions of people from all over the world supported this one day event and the outcome of it was tremendous.
I feel that it was a very successful event bringing people together from all over the world making them feel that they are one family. During that live broadcasting of short film, I was moved of what was happening at the other end of the world and I sympathize those people who do not have a proper living. The short film which moved me was kids in africa have interest in sports which was soccer. But they do not have money to buy a proper ball but they made used of other stuff. What they did was the buy condoms from the shop and blow it like a shape of a ball. Then they wrapped it with a cloth and got some strings and kept rolling it a few times. They keep repeating this process for a few times till they get a hard solid ball. So they played with it. Their determination to play soccer was so great that they will do anything just to get a ball so their dreams won’t go to waste. I hope that more of these movements will happen in the upcoming years.

Can the people in the world stop doing stupid things. I seriously do not know what is really in their mind. What makes me say like this was. I was surfing a video website in youtube and I came across this video. It is a video recorded by this man using his handphone on how they skinned animals ALIVE for their skins. As in the animal is breathing for air and fighting to live. Actually i can put the pictures here but some will not like it. Even myself. So these men will like keep them in a cage. When the time comes, they will tie the animals leg and let it lie on the floor. What they do is they take a bat and hit the animal till it cannot retaliate back. After that, they take a sharp knife and cut a small opening and they will rip the animal skin while the animal is alive. Ya rip it open like how you rip a christmas gift. Blood keep gushing out from the animal and the animal without skin will be thrown into a dunkster and let it die by itself.
I hope that politicians and leaders of the world will watch these video and stop them from doing these cruel thing. I did not say that they cannot hunt animal for their skin but do it in a proper way. At least kill them first before ripping their skins off. Not when they are alive.

Seriously i find that chain letters are super annoying. I seriously just find it annoying. Whenever I open it and I found that there is some stupid stories to it I will like just close the email and delete it straight away. Who is so dumb enough to believe that it will really happen even a small kid who is able to think will not believe it. Here are some chain letters that I just received it today. It is super dumb.
It is called the Boyfriend and Girlfriend test.
So have fun reading it.
THE BOYFRIEND
AND GIRLFRIEND TEST
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This is no joke. It works (from experience).
DO NOT just delete this. DO WHAT IT SAYS!!!! FOR YOUR OWN LOVE LIFE’S SAKE!!!
Read this now or forever hold your peace.
This is not just your ordinary chain letter. Every person you send it to, brings you more good luck.
If you send it to no one, it will cause someone you like to hate you.
If you send it to 1 person, your next relationship will have lots of fun times.
If you send it to 2 people, you will get a secret admirer.
If you send it to 3 people, you’ll get a date for the next school dance.
If you send it to 4 people, you’ll meet the person of your dreams.
If you send it to 5 people, the guy or girl you met of your dreams will ask for your phone number.
If you send it to 8 people, your next relationship will be everlasting.
If you send it to 13 people, your boyfriend or girlfriend, will become totally faithful to you.
If you send it to 15 people, the person you have been crushing on for a very long time, will ask you out.
If you send it to 18 people, your date for the next dance will ask you out.
If you send it to 20 people, you’ll make out with your crush at a party..
If it can do that much sending it to 20 people, imagine what it will do if you send it to more.
The consequences:
If you do not send this letter to anybody, your life will suck! You have 5 days to send this letter to at least 1 person. You can send this to as many people as you want to. I am warning you…do not just delete this letter. It is a new chain letter and we would like it to
get sent around as quick as possible. I refused to send it to many people when I first made it in June of 1995, because I didn’t believe it would work. I sent it to 38 people, then I got the best boyfriend that I could ever have.

I just wonder who is the creator of this chain letter. Can’t they just use their skills for better purpose like writing a script or becoming a writer. Seriously they don’t have to like just sit at the computer for hours just to come out with the stupid ideas. The worst thing that the title of the email they send to me was “Don’t blame me for sending! They send me so I send ya!!” The person who send me seriously don’t have his or her own mind to think. The person just follow instructions and start sending it out. I just hope that chain letters will stop because it is just stupid letter threatening people and they start to panic.

Don’t you find lighting programmers are cool? All they do is just sit down in front of this board called the DMX board and control the lights in a concert or a show. They can control up to few hundreds of lights just using this board. It is not an easy job as they have to squeeze their creativity out of them. But the key thing in lightings is CREATIVITY. Without this they cannot produce design which will be displayed to the audience. Lightings set the ambience of the whole event.
You also wondering what type of lights they control. Basically, this lights are called the computerised lights or moving head called in the industry. Inside this moving heads there are plates which are gobos. This gobos are metal plate which are designed by the machines and the moving heads can hol up to 20 or more design. Suprisingly you can design you own gobos to your needs. Below are pictures of the DMX boards and the moving heads or called Computerised lights
