movie and drama sharing

firstly Rest In peace for Heath Ledger. what a waste such a good actor pass away like that...and again its Hans Zimmer! shock when i saw his name in ending credit.
too many dialogue i cant catch up in many scene. i will watch the 2nd time for sure.(but wait my dad's DVD la :p). in reality, i believe people will have a big quarrel till 12am for the bomb, there may not just so peace for paper vote, there may fighting, there may people praying, there may people crying, there may people... so do the other boat, i believe there will people may wana punch the guy who throw the controller.
in the world full of selfishness, u sacrify yourself...will you?
why so serious?
indeed, its a serious movie that lead us to deep thought.




technology gives us to better convinient life but there still need a balance point between privacy and thrist to know. will smith...a great actor. as usaul, still joke from him in the movie.




so less can have a movie is comedy with some meaningful christ info. i never watch bruce almighty completly before but this 1 really touch me when the "God" say :"If someone pray for patience, you think GOD gives him patience? or does give them an opportunity to be patience? If they pray for courages, GOD gives him courage or give him the opportunity to be courages, If someone pray for family to be closer, you think GOD absent warms fuzzy feeling or give them the opportunity to love each others?" God always give us hope. Is just we don’t know it or understand it.




the idea is quite creative but the whole masterpiece is not good. i dont like those shaking shots. maybe director thought it will be better or trying to give info through those shaking shots but for me its so uncomfortable. superhero is lonely. yea.people think u r abnormal...there is no one can share things to...quite sad when he sitting on the roof but quite touching when people praise and claps for him.

like the song when he drunk and flying on the sky with his alchohol at the begining part. and the song after he left the hospital n flew away. after some searching the 1st song i mentioned is "Move B**ch (Get Out The Way)" by Ludacris featuring Mystical (but it sensored the word b**ch in the movie) and the 2nd is "the moon and the superhero" by John Powell. trust me. its totaly different genre.

向中国漫画家廖冰兄致敬 (1915-2006)

廖冰兄1915年生于广州，原名东生(取生在广东之意)。年幼丧父，阿妈为了养活兄妹俩，只得改嫁一个广西人。后因生活所迫，把6岁的妹妹廖冰抵押给别人，兄妹分离，他痛苦不已，为了表达对妹妹的感情，廖东生在发表作品时署名“廖冰兄”——廖冰的哥哥，从18岁以后一直沿用这个名字。阿妈改嫁后，他跟贫苦的外婆在贫穷的小巷里生活。

不足20岁的廖冰兄，就以一个“狂妄”才子的身份跻身趋于成熟的中国漫画界，承接了早期漫画人创立的中国漫画事业。

廖冰兄晚年多以书法、绘画和小品为扶贫助学筹款集资，有一段时期喜画重彩风景画（曾发表于1995年《美术》杂志），多以广东水乡为题材，融中国画、西洋画、儿童画、版画、水彩、水粉画于一身，形成独特的艺术风格。

《禁鸣》（原名：枭暴）1945年秋，全民抗日胜利结束，国民党反动派即图谋发动内战，独吞胜利果实，使中国依然置于其独裁的黑暗统治下。而中国共产党与人民则力求实现和平、民主，使中国走向光明。为了揭示这场关系国家命运的斗争的意义，冰兄以得逞于黑夜的鸱鸺钳制呼唤光明的雄鸡构成此画，题为《枭暴》。然此画于1947年初在香港被盗。

"文革"期间，林彪、四人帮把光明的中国人民推落法西斯统治的黑暗深渊，张志新痛斥其恶行，惨遭割喉枪杀，1979年冰兄重绘此画，悼念这位为保卫光明而献身的猛士，画题改为《禁鸣》，但是又于1981年在法国展出时被窃。此画再于1991年重绘，现已捐赠给广州艺术博物院

此画记录了两番性质相同的历史――光明与黑暗的搏斗；画的本身亦遭两番同样的恶运――被窃。 （ckyue按：我们big horse人何尝不是活在这样的状况？）








蝇的株连（1994年）

　　说明：此画记录了极左路线制造的历次政治运动――用重磅炸弹对付一只苍蝇，炸弹之下是无数无辜的良民，画面令人瞩目惊心。

Mr Na recently involve in a serious case. For me I believe he definately got road with Miss M. I myself sure hope the sin one go into jail. Then my 'eye middle nail' cant as he wish got the post. But the reality...will it be?

Mr An, rumor says the news is created to cover Mr Na's hot news, to change public's focus and find a way to jail him again. I quite believe he don't have such interest but what he did in front of us, is really concern about public? or just some acting to get back what he should have?

let's work in bringing the fuel price down!

THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' PETROL FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET PETROL BACK DOWN TO RM1.92 PER Litre....





We need to take some intelligent, united action. The oil companies just laughed at last year's action because they knew we would not continue to 'hurt' ourselves by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.





Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a liter of gas is CHEAP at RM2.70, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace...not sellers.





With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.





The only way we are going to see the price of petrol come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their petrol! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.





Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY petrol from Petronas
the biggest price-up driver company.





If they are not selling any petrol, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.





But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Petronas petrol buyers.





copy from wjiann's blog...cut some words to make it short and simple. just some q we need to think:





how many people will pass this message?


how many people will send out?


how many people will continue do this? (human are forgetful)


how many malaysian purchase fuel from petronas? (do it really the amout the original article shows?)


most important one,


does it really affect them? (don't forget they not just have our business but larger business at other countriessss!)





anyway, better try before we give up...we wont rugi if we try right? so.....everybody aza aza fighting!

hahahahahaa!

Pak Lah promise petrol RM2.70 per liter will remain untill end of this year. oh...How generous!



Can i laugh out loud?







Hey pk u dont bluff la! You NOT the 1st time do such monkey show to CHEAT us! Keep skin la you!

petrol oh petrol

recently fuel hike is 1 of the hot topic in town. yea...thats not just a country's problem but it's a global problem. but anyhow, people still bikcik and even cursing goverment.what goverment did?will give people subsidy lo...but the main thing they doing is - =HYPNO=



you are lucky...malaysia petrol STILL lower than RM4 market price... we got subsidy for you...we are good and generous goverment...petrol is cheap...malaysian using cheap petrol...malaysia petrol is consider cheap already...cheap petrol...



Most people believe thats unchangable and accept the "truth"..but wake up!! do you really think its really cheap?



let me quote an article frm motherHau's blog :

讓我說個農場的故事﹐讓你知道什麼是國陣說的“津貼”……

在一個農場裡﹐每天可以生產 10粒蘋果。農場裡有 5個工人和 1個場主﹐總共 6個人。

他們每天一人吃一粒蘋果﹐就足夠維持農場裡的運作﹐所以還有剩下4粒蘋果。

場主把這4粒蘋果賣了﹐一粒 RM10。結果賺了 RM40。場主把這RM40拿來提昇農場裡的所有設施設備﹐

但是一天最多也需要 RM25罷了。多出的 RM10就拿來發給5個工人﹐每人有 RM2。

還有 RM5拿來當作自己的盈利。



日子這樣下去﹐這個農場就變得很先進而且工人的住宿和環境都是一流的。

5個工人也存了一筆錢。

但是不久這個好場主去世了﹐來了個新場主。新場主說﹕“我們要提昇農場素質﹐要有一流的思維。

現在你們吃的蘋果﹐需要給 RM1.00。但是你想想﹐這是很便宜的﹐你去外面買蘋果一粒要 RM10叻！”



工人沒辦法﹐就繼續做工和每天給 RM1.00 來吃他們以前每天吃的免費蘋果。

結果他們現在每天只得到 RM1.00。

現在﹐新場主還是把多餘的 4粒蘋果拿去賣﹐賺了 RM40﹐還是像從前一樣﹐RM25拿來提昇設施﹐

RM10就拿來發給5個工人﹐RM5拿來當作自己的盈利﹐再來﹐現在那5粒蘋果他賣給工人﹐賺了 RM5.00。

現在他共有每天RM10.00盈利。



不久﹐蘋果售價突然大漲了一倍﹐外面售價 RM20一粒。現在新場主還是把多餘的 4粒蘋果拿去賣﹐大賺了 RM80。

農場的設施提昇工程現在換了是新場主的朋友承包。新場主的朋友說﹐蘋果售價大漲﹐

設施提昇工程的費用也要漲價了﹐變成 RM50。其實真正費用才 RM30﹐

新場主把多出來的 RM20和他的朋友平分。

現在新場主有：

RM10 (和他的朋友平分的提昇工程費)

RM20 的盈利(RM80-RM50-RM10=RM20)

RM5 的賣蘋果給自己員工賺的錢。

總共是RM35.00。比起以前的RM7.50﹐新場主多賺了RM27.50!!



哇﹗﹗﹗暴利叻﹐蘋果售價突然大漲﹐農場賺多了 RM27。50。

但是工人還是每天只賺取RM1.00。

但是﹐貪心的新場主卻招來 5位員工﹐對他們說﹐“你們看看﹐

蘋果現在的市場售價是 RM20 一粒﹐但是你們卻用 RM1.00 來買一粒蘋果﹐你看你們多幸運！”




“我就辛苦了﹐我需要津貼你們每人 RM19.00﹐總共 RM95.00 來給你們蘋果吃啊﹐

你看農場的津貼負擔多麼的重！”

“農場真的很辛苦了﹐再這樣下去﹐農場會破產﹐倒閉。現在我賣你們每粒蘋果 RM1.50 吧﹐

我辛苦一點來津貼RM18.50。”

那麼現在新場主的暴利又增加了﹐RM20 + RM10 + RM7.50 = RM37.50。又賺多了RM2.50。

這 RM2.50 是從哪裡賺來的﹖就是從自己工人的口袋賺來的。

quote from free media website:

人民公正党浮罗岸州立法议员黄锦河指出，世界原油价格攀高，造就了马来西亚国家燃油公司在2007年财政年获得马币464亿元盈利，比起2006财政年的431亿高出7.6%，而在2007年财政年，国油的国际业务营业额也从上一年的马币676亿元，增至966亿元。



“国家燃油资源应该是属于马来西亚全国人民的财产，国家燃油的盈利也应让全民所享有，身为燃油出产国的国民非但不能享受更廉宜的油价，还要负担更高昂的国内燃油价格，是不能让人民所认同的。”



it's never mind if u dont know chinese... here's another similar thing which I quote from part of the email :

Example:

Ahmad is a fisherman. He sells a fish to you at $10 which is below the market value of $15. Let's assume that he caught the fish from the abundance of the sea at little or no cost. Ahmad claims that since the market value of the fish is $15 and he sold you the fish for $10, he had subsidised you $5 and therefore made a loss of $5.



Question : Did Ahmad actually make a profit of $10 or loss of $5 which he claimed is the subsidy?



Answer:

Ahmad makes a profit of $10 which is the difference of the selling price ($10) minus the cost price ($0 since the fish was caught from the abundance of the sea). There is no subsidy as claimed by Ahmad.



ckyue's Q: Our country exports durian. UK import durian. why goverment not say the same thing to durian and increase the price too? why petrol? why not durian?y not kain batik? you know i know la....




It's ok if u say inflation...need higher cost to dig the petrol bla bla bla...but if u say such bullshit as what i know from media, it's unacceptable! what shit subsidy? is that belongs to yours? or US? i know natural resources will end 1 day.but is it really in this few year? or just an excuse to increase the price higher? you'll know when you have friend digging that resources.

决定一个人的心情，在于心境



苏格拉底是单身汉时，和几个朋友一起住在一间只有七八平方米的房间里，他一天到晚总是乐呵呵的。有人问他：“那么多人挤在一起，连转个身都困难，有什么可乐的？”苏格拉底说：“朋友们在一块儿，随时都可以交换思想，交流感情，这难道不是很值得高兴的事儿吗？过了一段日子，朋友们一个个成了家，先后搬了出去，屋里只剩下苏格拉底一个人，每天，他仍然很快活。那人又问：“你一个人孤孤单单，有什么好高兴的？”苏格拉底说：“我有很多书哇，一本书就是一个老师。和这么多老师在一起，时时刻刻都可以向它们请教，这怎么不令人高兴呢？



有人问苏格拉底的学生柏拉图：“你的老师总是那么快乐，可我却感到，他每次所处的环境并不那么好呀。”柏拉图说：“决定一个人心情的，不在于环境，而在于心境。”





快乐到底在哪里？



苏格拉底的弟子们到处寻找快乐，但是，却遇到了许多烦恼、忧愁和痛苦。他们向老师询问：“快乐到底在哪里？”苏格拉底并不直接回答他们，而是说：“你们还是先帮我造一艘船吧。”弟子们只得暂时把寻找快乐的事放到一边，找来造船的工具，用了49天，锯倒了一棵又高又大的树，挖空树心，忙忙碌碌造好了一条独木舟。独木舟下水了，弟子们把老师请上船，一边合力荡桨，一边齐声唱起歌来。苏格拉底问：“孩子们，你们快乐吗？”弟子们齐声回答：“快了极了！”苏格拉底道：“快乐就是这样，它往往在你为着一个明确的目标忙得无暇顾及其他的时候而不知不觉地来到。”苏格拉底告诉弟子们这样一个真理：充实就能快乐。




《这个世界上有两种人，一种是快乐的猪，一种是痛苦的人。做痛苦的人，不做快乐的猪。》

我的五月三部曲

工作好衰不衰竟然在这一天出现这样的状况！去到天后宫的时候已经是嘉宾入席的时间了。完全在迷糊之中，也没有人空闲来brief我一下，只有呆呆地站在一边探查。



跟前台的人认识认识（对不起啦到最后还是记不到你们的名字）。虽然这次没有什么做到东西，但是我却发现Evon是很厉害的！加入剧坊的时间不是很长，但是却对剧坊了如指掌！而且厚...还可以滔滔不绝地跟来宾分享剧坊的东西和交流。90度向她鞠躬！她的精神真的很值得我们大家去学习的！



xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



《陪你走过》暂时告一段落...我才稍微有点进入状况而已...意犹未尽呐！这次完全没有认识战友和战情就要上战场，是有点措手不及...从沈老板口中得知前台主任不懂是宝ying还是宝ling后...原来是她！还好在《携手迎梦》那一晚已经跟她哈拉过几句了！安心~



很享受大家一起为同一样东西努力着，让我暂时忘记我已经是毕业了要为生计的老人家！在这里要谢谢有大姐风范的宝莹、娇滴滴的美娟、眼眯眯的嘉宝、超迷振城的Amamda、静静的Debby、无段段被我叫中国口爱老阿伯的振祥、跟我同姓的Peter、让我在星期日早上差一点掉泪的宝贤、Jazz、嘉雯，还有突然被我发现有蜡笔小新眼眉的沈老板、让我来《陪你走过》疯的诗韵姐、常让我抱她的秋风姐、神出鬼没的天洋等等等等...其他我还不清楚名字的战友我会去找的...虽然这次我在票房和前台没有做出贡献，但是谢谢你们给我回忆！哦！还有谢谢客串收拾前台的Martin和他的妻子！














前台的战友都上去谢幕，不过像似上去酒吧，下来之后high得不得了，把前台当成karaoke厢房一首一首《陪你走过》专辑的歌曲兴奋地齐声合唱。而我，像一个老人家站在一旁看着自己的孙子在嬉戏。对，每一幅画面都是特别的，不会是重复的，包括我眼前的这一幕。或许下一次演出不在首都剧场？或许不是同一堆人负责前台？或许....有人是最后一次参与剧坊的活动？在把眼前的画面save到脑袋记忆簿的同时，心里默默地喊着常跟伟杰和永照说的那句：朋友，有缘再见！



xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



最后的最后终于能出席庆功宴了！第一次看到这么大的厢房耶！也很惭愧一下...一些我听也没听过的，是连小孩子都会唱的最新流行曲！天哪！我太落后了！



发生一些不愉快的事件，我自己本身也觉得痛心...毕竟是剧坊8年来是第一遭吧！希望仅此一次，决不重演！



本想在离席前唱一唱我的“名歌”>>友谊之光的，但是听说还有80多首歌在排着队...呆掉...算吧！在这里“唱”吧:



人生于世上有几多知己，多少友谊能长存？

今日别离共你双双两握手，友谊常在你我心里！

今天且要暂别，他朝也定能聚首

纵使不能会面，始终也是朋友！

说有万里山！隔阻两地遥

不需见面，心中也知晓

友谊是改不了~

一颗珍珠

朋友自香港带来一串珠链送我，光泽柔和，浑圆美丽。我不禁出神地看着，这样圆润可爱的珍珠难道真是由一粒粗糙的沙砾形成的么？当小小的蚌安详地歇在海低，突然一个打击临到它，一粒沙子嵌进肉中，痛得它昏天黑地，它抗拒不了，排斥不了，只有强忍着撕裂一般的痛苦，抚着伤口，一点点分泌出光滑的云母质来层层包容这个侵入它生命中的‘苦难’。年年岁岁，漫长的忍耐，无尽的辛酸，那一粒丑陋的沙砾已变成美丽的珍珠。眼泪化作欢笑，痛苦的代价成就了荣耀的光彩。




在十九世纪的初叶，法国路易斯`勃莱尔幼年时眼睛意外受伤，被一根针刺中，不幸失明，饱受黑暗摸索的痛苦。他有强烈的求知欲，却受不能阅读之困，为了克服这点障碍，也为了造福其他和他同样命运的盲人，他一再的研究试验，忍受无数的失败挫折，终于在1834年，以针在厚纸上刺出符号，发明了盲人专用的点字法，这是一项突破性的大贡献。同样是一根针，曾经使他失去光明，却也因此带给亿万盲人光明和希望，多么奇妙的转变！





很多时候，我们只看见不幸的表面，流血的创口，受伤的心；我们只会埋怨、诉苦、哀怜不满。不知道通过苦难的试炼，痛苦的经历，泪水的洗炼，神会使一个无用的生命发出不巧的光辉，粗糙的沙砾变成无价的珍宝。








神的作为

“人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事故难全。”九百年前，苏东坡就这样感叹了。的确，人生充满了缺憾，总难得有时是如意的时刻。然而，这一切都是毫无意义的吗？圣经上说：“万事都互相效力”。没有缺月的衬托，如何显出满月满月的丰盈？没有今年的花谢，如何滋生明春的盼望？若我们不曾经历“失去”的辛酸，怎能体会“获得”的甘甜？不曾破碎的心房，如何了解幸福的含义？没有失败的痛苦，哪有成功的喜悦？





如果天空总是一样的蓝，如果四季都是春天，如果我们的生活天天相同，一成不变。不再有黑夜，不再有风暴，不再有别离和死亡，那将是怎样的一个世界呢？我们将永远没有盼望，永远不懂什么是感谢和赞美，永远无法获得喜乐和满足，也永远不了解什么是爱和生命！





神的作为，人常常无法测度。唯有通过苦难的桥梁，我们的生命力方能与他密切契合。有一首诗歌，词曲皆美令我非常喜爱，取名就叫[神未
曾应许]：

神未曾应许，天色常蓝，

人生的路途，花香常漫，

神未曾应许，常晴无雨，

常乐无痛苦，常常无虑。

神却应许，生活有力，

行路有光，做工得息，

试炼得恩助，危难有赖，

无限的体谅，不死的爱。

重担

在欧洲某地，有一座桥梁，桥身狭长，是附近几十万居民对外的主要交通要道，有一年，暴雨成灾，河水泛滥，眼看着这座桥梁就要被汹涌的洪水冲毁，大家都焦急万分，束手无策，若是桥断了，后果将不堪设想。最后，还是一位老工程师想出了一个方法，他调集了许多大量的大卡车，每辆车上都载满石头，全部都开到桥上，桥身由于承受了这些重量的镇压，终于使得基础稳固下来，在湍湍激流中屹立不摇，没有被洪水卷去。





在从前那种木造的古老帆船中，舱底都有几块重逾数百斤的压舱石，不懂得人就会奇怪，船轻点不是走得更便捷轻快吗？为什么还要增加船的负荷量？然而，就是因为这些石头，使得船身稳定，不只在风浪中飘摇倾覆。你看，这些重担正成了稳定重心的力量，使得小小的船只也可以承受狂风巨浪的袭击。





人生也是一样，许多时候，我们的生命充满了痛苦与眼泪，我们埋怨、诉苦，不明白上帝何以要这样苦待我们？我们真是觉得身上所负荷的担子太重了，岂不知这些重担正是上帝特意加给我们的，为的是好叫我们也有力量去抵抗来自生命的洪流和波涛。





压力越大，反抗的力量也越大；负担越重，也越能激发我们产生抗衡的勇气。愿我们化苦难的重担为奋斗的力量，使我们的生命力更加沉稳有力，足以抵御风雨，乘风破浪，向我们的人生前程挺进。

你的钻石价值多少？how much your diamond worth?

血腥的奢华 - Bloody luxury













“哇！好美啊！如果我有钱我一定会买...”


“如果我男朋友跟我求婚，一定要有一个至少10卡拉的钻戒！”


当你在为那张图片的那位女模特儿感到羡慕的时候，你可有想过钻石背后的故事？


当你因为你有能力买钻石而感到自豪的时候，你可否知道有人为了三餐温饱而到矿地做超级无敌廉价劳工？


当你展示你手上的钻戒的时候，你可否知道那些连钻石影子都没见过的无辜村民断送了手臂？甚至性命？






xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx






记得美国已故明星玛丽莲•梦露有一首歌是这样唱的：“钻石是女孩子的最佳伙伴”；但钻石也有可能成为它出产国最恐怖的敌人，钻石挂在一位美女脖子之前要经过一连串的试炼，可惜这试炼却让它的出产国经历残酷的战争，许多未成年少年因此受到威胁利用，而军队为了庞大的利益，大量屠杀无辜的人民。














一个双手被砍掉的黑人：“他们先用斧头把我的左手砍掉，接著要砍另一隻手。但我的小男孩开始哭求：‘求求你们，阿兵哥，不要把我爸爸的另一隻手砍掉。’这些士兵就说，叫那女人把小男孩从背上放下来，让我们把他的手砍掉，然后我说，‘不要！’他们就把我的手给砍了。”


记者：“他们的意思是，只要你让他们砍掉你儿子的手，你自己的手就可以保住？”


男人：“是。”




这是2003年1月10日美国公共电视台播出的非洲狮子山内战实录。那位双手被砍掉的男人，是狮子山内战眾多受害者之一。為何交战派系要砍掉他的双手？原因单纯到残酷，是要让他无法替另一方打仗。





為何狮子山会在一九九○年到二○○二年发生长达十二年的内战？原因也单纯到无法相信：不是意识型态、不是宗教信仰，而是丰富的钻石矿藏。






xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx














粗糙而布满厚茧的手掌上，几颗乍看平凡无奇的石头，却是富商名流追逐不歇的珍宝。世界上大多数钻石的开採与切割，都经由第三世界的劳工之手，他们的收入与钻石的定价难成比例；盛產钻石的狮子山共和国，更因而為此付出了无比沉重的代价。





当地民眾似乎没有从钻石开採中获得任何好处。只有少数人享受这种非正规经济活动的利益。利益主要掌控在一小撮中间商与出口商手中，但会把获利投资在当地建设的例子则少之又少。










根据官方统计，国家当局只收取钻石出口利润的百分之三。在这百废待兴的国家少数人坐拥万贯家财，但数百万人却面临三餐不继，实在是强大的对比。





钻石恒久远，但它真实的代价到底为何？

Blood diamonds are those sold in order to fund armed conflict and civil war. Warlords and rebel groups in countries including Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia and Sierra Leone have used billions of dollars of profits from the sale of diamonds to buy arms and fund devastating wars. Diamonds mined in rebel-held areas in Cote d'Ivoire, a West African country in a state of volatile conflict, are currently reaching the international diamond market.The UN recently reported that $23million in blood diamonds had been smuggled from rebel-held areas of the Ivory Coast to international diamond markets.





A supervisor, far right, watched over young diamond miners digging in a pit.












Diamond diggers work in dangerous and dirty conditions with no certainty of finding any stones, but with the hope of uncovering a large diamond that will provide wealth for life.





Village of Grafton. Abubakar Kargbo was amputed












The RUF (Sierra Leone's Revolutionary United Front developed a method for recruiting children right from the start. Girls as young as 10 were raped into submission. Boys were forced to execute village elders and sometimes even their own parents, cutting themselves off from their past lives and ensuring their absorption into their new rebel "family." Once children were conscripted, their loyalty was maintained through drugs and violence. When conscripts tried to escape, they were punished with branding or amputation. Countless other children-even infants-had their limbs hacked.





"War don don, we love peace"


"We have to build our country together"

昨天有2条粉肠跑去我公司1楼说要找Singalinggam，由于1楼没有这个人，就叫他们上去其他楼问问看。那2条粉肠就跑上去2楼说是做carpet的，同事们就让他们进来咯。他们就看看四周，说午餐时间才再过来做。



午餐时间到，他们也果真回来。当然，已经没有人犹疑他们是谁就让他们进来了。他们离去后，发现2楼不见了3架laptop！他们离去的时候是没有看到他们拿着laptop的！显然他们很聪明地把laptop藏起来带走的！



可笑的是，公司的CCTV是从这个月2号开始就没有录制纪录了！换句话说，CCTV是装模作样只有shoot没有record的废物！谁的问题？IT那个....



听消息...这样的case不是头一遭，看来是有计划的carpet党...同志们！请小心！



Yesterday 2 guys went to my company 1st floor, searching a people call Singalinggam. 1st floor people ask them other floor to try their luck. When they reached 2nd floor, they claim they are fixing carpet thing. My colleagues have no doubt and let them in. They did what other technical did, looking and walking around...and said be better fix on lunch time.



They really came back on lunch time. For sure now no one really doubt on their purpose and let them in again. After they left colleagues just found out there have 3 laptops are missing! And when they left there is no laptop on their hands! Which say they hide those laptop at somewhere and left just like that!



the most funny part is...company's CCTV is not fuction since 2nd of this month! LOL... the CCTV is a RUBBISH which just hang there for display with no recordings...whose fault? IT suport.....



Some people said we are not the 1st case...which means there may a "carpet gang" which have a perfect plan to work on their victims...so...Dude! Beware!
