Cheap properties???

Does anyone agree that our properties in Penang Island is cheap and affordable?

Read today's paper, a so called well known local properties developer said that properties in Penang is cheap and affordable compared to the overseas' properties.

Don't anyone out there have a protest on this statement?

How many more of trees to be chopped off?? Just to build houses for people? Come on, how many people can buy these properties? Mostly buying are meant for investment? Don't they realize this bubble has exploded once in year 1997, and they are looking forward for another burst?

Papers keep saying building materials prices are going up, ... developers keep increasing the selling price. Valuer keeps saying Penang houses are about this price.

Ya right, please look at the surrounding, how many abandon houses, how many buyers out there to purchase? How many more of hills to cut, take a look at the Batu Feringghi, ... it's getting real BOTAK already.

Are they looking at the surrounding environment?? I doubt it!

I can tell all of these developers are looking at the money that they are getting.

Talk what environmental friendly housing estate la... to me, all these are bullshit. As end of the day, tell me which developer will take the responsibilities of environmental threat??

They already have the money and they will get their butts move, isn't it??

This is getting real annoy!!! Damn annoy!

Global Warming

Does anyone ever thought of Global Warming?

I was clearing some junks in my mailbox and this particular mail actually caught my attention. And I am going to copy and paste into here for reading pleasure.

今天不玩 明天後悔
12 Vanishing-points You Must Go

(撰文/王聰霖 圖片提供/達志影像TOP PHOTO、台灣名人影像、Corbis)

想和男友去威尼斯來趟浪漫水都之旅,可是卻撟不出時間,一群姊妹淘打算到馬爾地夫渡假,卻老有人爽約湊不成行…可別以為這些著名旅遊景點會等妳到天荒地老,今天不趕快下定決心去玩,明天它們就要消逝了!

野柳女王頭

倒數計時:10年
消逝原因:長年自然風化、遊客觸摸

野柳海岸向來都以各種奇岩怪石為最大賣點,其中著名的女王頭是由於當地岩層受到海水侵蝕所形成的,形狀和不同岩層的硬度有關,較堅硬的岩層受侵蝕的程度較小,形成了如戴著皇冠般的美麗,而較鬆軟的則形成線條優美的纖細頸部。這樣的景觀非常罕見而美麗,長年吸引無數遊客造訪,動手觸摸加快了風化作用,使得女王頭的頸部已逐漸無法負擔頭部的重量,專家預計在10年內就有斷頭的可能。目前政府和學者決定不加以搶救,讓它隨自然週期壽終正寢,而由另一塊類似金剛的巨石來繼承它的觀光地位。

菲律賓塔爾火山
倒數計時:快了
消逝原因:火山爆發

菲律賓的著名觀光景點塔爾火山,位於馬尼拉以南約70公里處,塔爾湖的中間,由於火山口積水形成另外一片湖,所以被稱為是湖中湖。在這裡遊客可以騎馬到山頂,俯瞰火山湖,或居高臨下欣賞周圍的湖光山色。今年9月原本平靜的火山o開始有所蠢動,菲律賓火山暨地震研究所警告遊客要多加注意,雖無立即爆發的危險,但是火山的不穩定有可能在未來持續加劇,目前已列為一級警戒區域,周圍4公里內禁止人員進入。

南北極
倒數計時:50年
消逝原因:冰帽融化

儘管極度寒冷的天氣讓多人敬而遠之,但是一片銀白色的冰凍大陸,獨特生態環境所孕育的北極熊、海象、北極兔、藍鯨、北極狼、北極旅鼠、馴鹿、雪雁、北極燕鷗、企鵝…等多多的珍奇動物,和他處難得一見的天然奇景極光,依然讓南北極成為多旅遊愛好者心中的夢幻樂園。但是,由於溫室效應造成全球氣溫升高,已經使得兩極冰帽開始融化,直接衝擊當地生態環境,現存的南北極生物可能會逐一面臨滅絕的危機。除了失去南北極這兩片生態寶庫,冰山的融化也使得全球海平面上升,多低窪地區的國家,如吐瓦魯、諾魯將在數年內被海水淹沒。

威尼斯
倒數計時:40年
消逝原因:地面下沉海平面上升




威尼斯是一座建立在瀉湖上的特殊城市,由118個大大小小的沙洲島嶼所組成,擁有讓全世界為之陶醉的水都景致,錯綜複雜的水道、建築藝術極致的聖馬可廣場、華麗的面具嘉年華、與大大小小的咖啡店,都是必訪的迷人景點。電影《情定日落橋》也讓嘆息橋成為全世界情侶相吻定情的勝地。不過,這座城市賴以成名的水,不久後可能反過來將威尼斯的詩情畫意畫下句點。長年的水患不斷沖蝕威尼斯的地基,造成地層每年下沉0.5公分,如果再不加以搶救,預計威尼斯在2050年就會完全被海水淹沒。

死海
倒數計時:快了
消逝原因:板塊運動擠壓、水份快速蒸發




有著高達海洋6倍含鹽度的「死海」其實不是海,而是位在以色列和約旦之間的一個內陸鹽湖。過高的鹽分,使得大多數生物難以在這裏生存,只有少數的藻類和細菌除外。不過,水中的高鹽分卻使得這裡有著非比尋常的浮力,讓旱鴨子也可以享受在水面上載浮載沉的樂趣!死海黑泥和死海鹽更是珍貴的美容聖品。這幾年來,由於阿拉伯半島、非洲大陸及歐洲大陸長期的板塊擠壓,使得死海面積縮小,加上溫室效應造成的全球暖化現象,死海的水分快速蒸發,面臨乾涸的命運。為了不使死海消失,環保團體已經展開「讓死海活下去」的活動來擬定拯救對策。

法國拉斯哥洞窟壁畫
倒數計時:15年
消逝原因:黴菌造成壁畫剝落




法國南部的拉斯哥洞窟壁畫根據考古學家認定,可說是人類最早的繪畫,約在西元兩萬年前所繪製。描繪的題材包括了野牛、馬、鹿等動物為主,雖然畫風十分原始粗糙,但是線條自然奔放,簡練有力充分表現了新石器時代的人們生活,就連當代藝術家都為之傾倒。不過,由於全球暖化以及遊客經常進出,逐漸改變洞窟內的氣候環境,使得苔蘚蔓延,壁畫也逐漸脫落。法國政府也因此開始限制遊客流量,每星期只開放5天,每天5人進出,且停留的時間不超過35分鐘,以保護這項偉大的世界遺產。












澳洲大堡礁
倒數計時:14年
消逝原因:氣候變化、過度開發、人為破壞

世界上最壯觀的珊瑚礁群,東北海岸線2000多公尺的連綿不絕、多姿多彩的珊瑚景色,讓大堡礁名列世界7大自然景觀之一,除了觀賞與潛水旅遊的價值之外,也孕育了蝴蝶魚、雀鯛、天使魚、獅子魚、海參、管蟲、海星等4萬多種不同生物,大堡礁上還棲息了240多種鳥類,可說是海洋生物的樂園。但全球暖化現象,加上過度開發、圍捕魚類及嚴重的海洋污染,使得生態環境巨變,大堡礁的爵士珊瑚也將因此逐漸白化而死亡,再不設法挽救,預計最遲在2020年就可能會消失。

敦煌莫高窟
倒數計時:快了
消逝原因:遊客破壞





擁有廣大的土地與悠久的歷史文化,中國大陸在觀光事業上最大的優勢,就是多不勝數的名勝古蹟,大陸的觀光業者也樂得將這些古蹟當成搖錢樹,比如佛教藝術勝地莫高窟,擁有492座內有壁畫、雕像可供觀賞的洞窟,目前經常性開放觀光的洞窟約有40座,其中菩薩、王公、飛天、本生、經變、供養人等形象,可說是佛教藝術的極致經典。在2000年後,莫高窟每年都會湧入超過30萬名觀光客,帶進的熱氣、濕氣、廢氣,加上動手觸摸的舉動,都加快了洞內壁畫剝落的速度。中國政府已經開始限制每日進出的遊客人數與時間,好讓人為破壞可以降到最低程度。

吉力馬札羅山
倒數計時: 15年
消逝原因:冰河融化

(Picture Source: Wikepedia)

非洲第一高峰吉力馬札羅山,山頂終年都覆蓋著一層雪百閃亮的冰河,就像戴上一頂白色假髮,是非常難得罕見的自然界奇景,遊客可從肯亞境內的的安波塞利國家公園,遠眺山頂上的冰河景觀。但是由於全球暖化,冰河與積雪已逐漸融化,預計到2020年,吉力馬札羅山就會光禿,匯集融化雪水所形成的河流將逐漸乾涸,動植物也會因此死亡或遷徙他處,直接衝擊國家公園的生態與觀光。目前環保人士已經開始施壓,希望能使工業國家減少廢氣排放,降低污染對生態環境的傷害。

馬爾地夫共和國
倒數計時:快了
消逝原因:地震與海嘯


(Picture Source: www.visitmaldives.com)

在印度洋海域中,有著1192個珊瑚礁島散佈其中,構成了如花環一般的美麗形狀─這就是馬爾地夫,名字正是印度文「花環」之意,白淨的沙灘、清澈的海洋、色彩豐富的珊瑚礁—馬爾地夫創造了得天獨厚的熱帶風情,多變的海底景色,更讓許多潛水迷趨之若鶩。甚至讓它贏得「地球上最後的仙境」的美譽。但是,在南亞大海嘯之後,三分之二的國土慘遭淹沒,加上全球暖化現象,越加岌岌可危。

尼泊爾薩加瑪塔國家公園
倒數計時:15年
消逝原因:洪水爆發
尼泊爾薩加瑪塔國家公園位在珠穆朗瑪峰南側,在山峰、冰川、峽谷等壯麗景色中、孕育了銀樅、杜松、銀樺和雪豹、喜馬拉雅山黑熊等珍奇動植物,以及代表喇嘛教寧瑪派的謝爾馬人文化的寺院廟宇,許多獨一無二的景觀,在1979年成為被聯合國教科文組織公佈的首批文化遺產和自然遺產之一。但是隨著全球暖化,冰雪逐漸融化成冰川湖泊,雪水甚至已經造成了小規模的災害,專家認為將來還可能會引發更大的洪災,預計在2020年,尼泊爾薩加瑪塔國家公園就會失去現在的美好景致。

亞瑪遜熱帶雨林
倒數計時: 15年
消逝原因:人為過度開發
熱帶雨林僅占了地球表面的 6%,卻擁有地球一半以上種類的野生動、植物及昆蟲,其中包括了許多人跡罕至的處女地,也蘊藏了尚未被全球大眾所認識的物種,可說是許多科學家與冒險家的樂園。除此之外,熱帶雨林對於地球生態也有重大貢獻,它會吸收二氧化碳、產生氧氣,地球上氧氣總量的40%,都是經由亞馬遜河區的熱帶雨林產生。但是,近100年來,由於人類的濫墾濫伐,使得熱帶雨林正快速消失,原因包括了過度的火耕、農地的轉用、過度的放牧、薪柴的超額取用、商業用材的不當砍伐及森林火災等等。預計到2020年,目前世界上90%的雨林都會消失殆盡

Tragic sadden news

Just got to that someone we know and someone my family were close to or we were just met a week ago was killed to death.

Reason is due to jealousy.

Why people are now so fragile? So weak and so silly that to kill a person's life to gain another's love?

The recent news on Virginia Tech was making the entire world weeping about it and wonder why would a man like that can made such decision?

The victim is only less than 26 years old, and also a younger member in his family. Does anyone know how to love their lives? How to know to treasure? But not being violent?

I believe the newer generation will no longer understands what treasure meant to them. Do you agree? Or it's because of the education that we going thru or the up bringing?

Even the up bringing will not encourage anyone to kill till death?

Sorry to all if I have written this sadden blog. It wasn't a pleasant story to blog about but it is something that neither one of us can accept the fact that he was kill till death.

Final words... do love yourself, and surrounding. Perhaps things may change. At least, don't be that violent.

Do you all fight with your spouce?

It was meant to be another boring, quiet, peaceful Saturday. But, my husband and I ended up with a minor arguement over a holiday which we have planned.
Then now am thinking, how many couple in the world always fight, argue, quarrel?

All these years, since courting till we got married, we hardly fight. Ya, no doubt about it that we always argue over some minor matters, but come to think of it, we hardly hardly fight.

Fight in a sense that anything we can shout over it. And follow by a cold war things like that....

Has anyone out there come across couple fight and waiting for another one to say sorry??

Chinese Women

Today's lunch a group of us, married and unmarried were talking about a man and a woman, a marriage and an affair. An affair which involves other countries' citizen.

Well, the well known China Chinese. There are many people nowadays have move over to China for work and for business, and many of them has decided to leave their family or even their girlfriend or boyfriend in their homeland.

The promises were given was, let me fight for our future and then move forward, we'll have better life. Well, the innocent one would believe, and answer yes, I'll be here to wait for you to come home.

The smart one will tell you off, sorry, I want to come along!

Just like the Hong Kong people said, "Pau Yee Lai" in Shenzhen which was so famous in the late 80's. Now that, many Malaysians are following their footsteps.

What we were chatting about was, the Chinese women are good in putting 'santan', 'lemak' the man and the men will feel flatten by their soft voices, the so called understanding, etc.

I wonder how many of them realize these are only the surface? What will come at the end of the day?? Some of them even know that the man will not fall into their trap, well, let's see how can he goes far?? Let's get him into the baby thingy... if a responsible man, he'll definately married me and I'll be definately getting his 'keh hwei' or cantonese said 'kar chan'.

Right??

This look BOTAK!!


This is the headline in today's paper .... 学生纷缺课·上班族请假 大山脚多区水灾.

Has anyone wonder why?? Look at this picture... that will give you an answer why the weather is so hot and it's getting hotter and hotter.
The sunlight is like burning your skin and it was like directly from the sun... and that kind of weather is actually making everyone fall sick if none of us drinks enough of water.
And I wonder why would all the properties developers builts so many of houses for? One will say, build more for the rakyat, the other will say, built for the needies... Come on, let's face the fact that, there are many out there are more of building it for money!
Look at the prices now in the market, some has rises to even half a million and some even 1 million per unit, with only 22" x 60" sq.ft.
Prices hike up, reason given from these people was materials cost went up, we only earn a little bit... would the world believe it?
Am sure many do not believe, but none of the people here do protest, right?
Have they ever understand that global is getting warmer and warmer???

Knowing this person has such high fly kinda reputation in the industry... in fact, the group of colleagues know the fact that avoiding the conflicts regardless minor or major would "save" our lives in this industry.
