Attacked, Shocked and Nuffnang

Posted on the June 1st, 2010 under News by Papa Bear

I was shocked to read about the attack by Israeli’s forces on the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara that was leading a convoy of six aid ships to blockaded Gaza. It was reported that at least 10 people were killed and many others injured. The fate of two Malaysians on-board, journalist Ashwad Ismail and cameraman Shamsul Kamal Latip from Astro Awani, was unknown until now.

Picture showing Israeli soldiers aiming a gun on the deck of a Turkish ship, part of an aid convoy heading to the Gaza Strip, after Israeli soldiers boarded the vessel in international waters off the Gaza coast.

So where is the UN? Where is the US, the so called champion of the free world? Is it because that there was no American on board, it doesn’t really matter? As usual, Israel gets away with everything and nobody on Earth can do anything apart from protesting on the streets and the braver ones, throwing stones at some Israeli’s tanks…

Then I was shocked to read about a 2 year old toddler in Indonesia who smokes up to 40 cigarettes a day! Wow! That boy shot to fame instantly. I think some of his videos on YouTube has been removed but I managed to find one video at Break.com here: http://www.break.com/index/two-year-old-toddler-smokes-cigarettes.html

When you watch the video, you would be amazed that he smokes like a pro! According to the news, the parents could not do anything as he would throw a tantrum if he doesn’t get his smoke. Talk about addiction at a shocking level…

According to the Chairman of the National Commission for Child Protection in Indonesia, Seto Mulyadi , “Smoking has been a part of our culture for so long it isn’t perceived as being hazardous, as causing illness, as poisonous.” “A lot of adults who are around children will smoke. They will carry a baby in one hand and a cigarette in another. Even mothers don’t understand that they are poisoning their children.”

True enough!  That’s the main reason that we stopped taking ferry from Port Klang to Dumai and choose to go via Melaka instead… I wonder what will happen to Aldi next… Smokers out there, what say you?

Well, enough of shocking stuffs… To lessen the shocking impact, let me change to a happier topic. I just remembered that I have not banked in the check from Nuffnang received in March 2010. It was for my second cash out this year. Another cash out is expected this month and with that, I have already paid for my hosting… Thanks Nuffnang!

What can I buy with that amount? Definitely cigarette would not be in my list… I can use that for one week of petrol or one week of toll to go to work… Or buy a new mouse to replace the one that I just bought tonight for RM12.90 at Tesco since I just realized that a cheap mouse is a retarded mouse… It could not move smoothly and that’s annoying. Nevertheless, it is still not shocking…

Till then, take care and have a nice life!
