My cousin sent me an email which contains a youtube link which brought me here->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSOaLH8vxYw...

It was about a blind 5 year old Korean girl playing piano and has never had a formal piano lesson but can play any song after just one hearing. Yoo Ye-eun, who was born blind and abandoned by hes parents and was adopted in 2002 by a woman. There's this part that really put me in tears. Hope you can feel the message i'm trying to express=)


Have you ever wonder how people with mental problem or physical disabilities feel when we neglect them? No one wants to be like that but do they have a choice? Judge for yourself, are they being treated fairly by the society? They are just like us and they deserved to be loved...

My personal advice when you plan to sign up for any gym club...

Tip 1: Enquire preferred gym club and clubs nearby and make comparison in terms or rates and facilities. In this case, you should take a tour around the gym to see the facilities yourself. After that, the consultant will ask you to have a sit and quote you the rates. For some clubs, they will throw in entrance fees, annual fees, etc into the rates. Try to bargain to get the best deal or just walk away(eg:"oh ok, i think i'll need to consider about it and bla bla bla") and you might end up getting the entrance and annual fees waived or they will like give in.(eg:"hmm, if you are interested, i give you a corporate rate and don't tell your friends you get this rate"-they tell everyone that!) If you are satisfied with the rate and maybe you need to discuss with your parents or something, they will ask you to leave your contact number. If you don't want them to disturb you, say you don't have a cell phone or ask them for their name card and suggest that you'll call them instead.

Tip 2: After arriving to a conclusion to sign up for the gym club, you negotiate further to see any more discounts can they give as they are assured that you will be joining, they might give you a better rate(eg:free 6 months when you sign up for 1 1/2 year and the rate will be cheaper if you spread throughout the number of months) or more free gifts(bags, water bottle,etc.) Make sure you negotiate before you sign any papers! Note that you will be charged an additional 5% government tax above the rates given.

Tip 3: After signing the papers, they will get a personal trainer to serve you. The personal trainer will then explain the stages of workout by drawing a ladder with different stages on how to start and that it is ineffective if you workout yourself. He will then say if you don't follow the stages, you will injured yourself and bla bla bla. He will then quote you the rates which is ridiculous and ask you is it expensive. You will definitely say "Yes" and he will slash the price half or something(how absurd). Its not that i'm against personal trainer but if you really need 1, you should bargain for a better deal or "google" it in the internet and you might just save a few months allowance(that is if you are not subsidised by your parents like me). So if he sees you are a little confused or reluctant, he will make an appointment with you and experience it for yourself. I personally have not been in these training programme but my friend told me that it's merely someone who teaches you the basic breathing, balanced diet and workout methods and force you to workout to the max(something like a teacher in school who shouts at you). I think that's all i can share...

P/S: Be firm with your decision made before signing up or they might just throw you another package with cheaper monthly payments but high commitment such as 2 years and more.

I am looking forward for this movie Bangkok Dangerous starring Nicholas Cage which is due to release in Malaysia around 23 October. As you can see i'm sort of a big fan of Nicholas Cage. I enjoy watching his movies especially Gone in 60 Seconds, Next & Ghost Rider. He somehow has his style and sense of humour which allows his to act naturally and his role is always well potrayed in every movie. If you look at the right-hand corner of this page, you can see that Bangkok Dangerous is currently rank 1 in the US Box Office and i'm sure it would also be the same in Malaysia when the movie in release this October. Can't wait to watch this movie!!

~Bangkok Dangerous~

This new movie revolves around a Hitman, Joe (Nicolas Cage) who goes to Bangkok on an assignment to kill four people. He hires pickpocket Kong (Shahkrit Yamnarm) as his assistant and meets a beautiful mute girl along the way.

Joe is given the contract by Bangkok gangsters who communicate with Joe through Kong and a dancer who becomes romantically involved with Kong.

Joe breaks his own rule of not getting involved with people on his missions and takes Kong under his wing because he sees Kong as a younger version of himself. Kong regularly comments on, and asks about Joe's victims being bad people; this awakens Joe's conscience. Joe takes out three 'bad men' who are as Joe says to Kong "bad for somebody". In the third killing Kong assists Joe and the kill does not go as planned with the target nearly getting away before Joe catches him and shoots him after a chase in front of many shocked onlookers.

His fourth target is a politician and therefore a difficult target resulting in Joe demanding more money. The gangsters intend to kill Joe to avoid the murder being traced back to them, as Joe sets off to the location of the final kill the gangsters kidnap Kong and the dancer girl and use them to find Joe's safe house. The target politician is beloved by the people, including Kong. As a result Joe hesitates when he is about to shoot him, which results in him being spotted by the police who fire at him leaving the assassination attempt a failure.

Joe has now become the target and having evaded the police is attacked at his house by four gang members; he manages to use explosives to take them out and is faced with the choice of rescuing Kong or leaving the country unharmed. Joe decides to rescue Kong so sets off to the gangs HQ with one of the half-alive attackers who was injured in the explosion at Joe's safe house.

Reference to CRAP in F4 perhaps?

BEST LAWYER STORY OF THE YEAR
A lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, and then insured them against, among other things, fire!

Within a month, having smoked his entire stock pile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company.

In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small fires." The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason, that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.

The lawyer sued and WON! (Stay with it).


Delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company, in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable "fire" and was obligated to pay the claim.

Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the cigars lost in the "fires".

(Wait a minute, that's not the end of the story.......)


After the lawyer cashed the cheque, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!

With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.

This is a true story and was the First Place winner in a recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.
ONLY IN AMERICA and some people still believe they went to the moon!
