Attacked, Shocked and Nuffnang

Posted on the June 1st, 2010 under News by papabear

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…

Picture from The Star Online and more news at No word on fate of Malaysians onboard attacked ship (Updated).

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!

I banked in my first Nuffnang check today. Not much but it’s as good as not having to fork out my own money to pay toll to work for one whole week…

RM 50.49

Not bad for part time blogging ha!

Thanks Nuffnang!

A Ball with Nuffnang & Friso

Posted on the December 2nd, 2008 under Family & Friends,Out and About by papabear

We had a ball at the Nuffnang Friso Family Day Out at Kizsports & Gym, One Utama Shopping Centre last Saturday, 29th November 2008. That was the first time for us attending such a big event with our son, Pasha. We were wondering how he would bring himself among the other adults and children but it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable time in his life as well as for us.

Before we go on to the post, we would like to thank Nuffnang and Friso for making this event a blast. We would also like to thank Kizsports & Gym for the great place and friendly staffs. We did not get the chance to chit chat or mingle with other bloggers as we had been too busy chasing after our son. However, it was nice when we met Lankapo and family as well as Gartblue and family there! We would also like to congratulate Sawanila for winning the grand prize!

Cautions! This post is full of pictures! Proceed at your own risk. You have been warned…

Right after the registration,  Pasha had to change into his Nuffnang Friso t-shirt and then we had a family photo shoot at the entrance. That marked the beginning of a great time ahead!

Speaking about having a ball, Pasha was really having lots of fun with those colorful balls that they had over there.

There was something about those balls that made children go crazy! Here are more pictures at the colorful balls area.
