Firstly, before I start, I think that the key word here is ‘beneficial’. To me, it means benefiting people the most. So what do you think benefits people more? Having more knowledge, a more technology advanced place for people or a place where people can make a living by planting crops fishing etc.
Secondly, I will like to point out another term ‘Industrialization’. To me, I think that it is related progress. ‘Industrialization’ means to adapt a country or group to industrial methods of production and manufacturing, with all the accompanying social changes, or to be adapted in this way. So if a country progress, the people will have to adapt.
Okay, let me make my stand first. I don’t think that progress is necessarily beneficial for society.
I will use the story ‘village by the sea’ as reference. In Village by the sea, a factory is going to be built somewhere near Hari’s village. I will take this as progressing. It takes up space, whereas it will take up the space for people to plant their crops and make a living there. Yes, I understand it will benefit some people who will be working in the factory in future. But what about those in the village? Have you ever spare a thought for them?
People in the village have very low education level, thus, they can only make a living by doing things that requires sweat, hard work, instead of working in a factory with advanced technology. They will not know how to operate it, thus they will not be employed and jobless. This will results in starvation due to the lack of money to support themselves and their family. So do you think this is beneficial for this people? They are also part of the society. I know building school, educate them to raise their literacy level will work, but the problem is if they have the money to go school? And moreover who will plant the crops in the future?
Thus, I will like to conclude that progress is not necessarily beneficial for society.

7. The seriousness of H1N1. Comments?
As you know, H1N1 is spreading around the world and it kills. Don’t you think it is scary? And a very serious matter?
Firstly, let me define the term ‘H1N1’. H1N1 is a subtype of the species Influenza A virus. H1N1 has mutated into various strains including the Spanish Flu strain. Let me tell you something more interesting. The 2009 swine flu outbreak is an epidemic of a new strain of Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 identified in April 2009. It was thought to be a mutation (reassortment) of four known strains of influenza A virus subtype H1N1: one endemic in humans, one endemic in birds, and two endemic in pigs (swine).[51] A June 5th update by the U.N.'s World Health Organization (WHO) states that “69 countries have officially reported 21,940 cases of influenza A(H1N1) infection, including 125 deaths.”]
125 deaths! Every imagined that? Its really getting on everyone’s nerves. Thus, H1N1 is a very serious, dangerous kind of virus. It causes threat to many lives, including ourselves. Even though Singapore is quite safe, the government has also take careful precaution, but we also have a part to play to keep the people around us and ourselves safe, right?
So some tips here which you can follow.
1. Take your temperature regularly.
2. If you are feeling unwell, do see the doctor at once. Do not take it lightly.
3. Try not to share personal things such as towels, toothbrush etc.
4. Avoid crowded places.
5. Unless necessary, try to stay in Singapore.
6. AND MORE! Do search for more
Now you see the seriousness of H1N1, the number of precaution needed to be taken by one and the number of death it causes. So I advice you not to take H1N1 lightly!

5.Who is you favorite/least character in village by the sea? State your reasons.
So who do you think is my favorite character or least favorite character?
My favorite character is Hari.
My least favorite character is Hari’s father.
Managed to guess correctly? If yes, congratulation. If not, try harder next time.
Okay, allow me to elaborate.
Favorite character - The reason why I like Hari is because I can feel that he is a guy, a brave child who faces the fact, who knows how to think maturely. He accepted the fate of his- living in dysfunctional family. He worked hard for his family, to support his two other sis and his mother, most importantly, to clear his wastrel dad debts. I think if it was others, they will just keep blaming the god, blame the god for giving them such a bad life. But Hari did not really blame people, instead, he think of ways to earn more money for the family, thinking of ways to make his family get out of the state of poverty.
Least favorite character- The reason the father is the least favorite character to me is because he only get himself drunk daily, get himself into debts instead of doing what he should do- taking up the responsibility of a husband, a father , work for the family and take care of the family. This results in Lila and Hira to take up their parent’s role as their mother was too sick to work. Naturally, I treat this character the least favorite character in village by the sea because he is a person who does not have a sense of responsibility and a good for nothing person.

4. Which part of village by the sea do you like best? State your reasons.
For me, I like the part when pinto’s death took place in the story. This happened due to the father’s debt. I like this part because I find it rather saddening and touching. Allow me to introduce you the character’s character at that point first.
Father – He was a good-for-nothing drunkard who got himself into debts and had to rely on his children to pay off for him.
Mother – Down with serious illness.
Hari and Lila – Childrens of the father and mother, who work very hard to support the family.
The reason why I like this part the most is because it really touched me and I find it rather saddening. An innocent life is lost due to a wastrel who only get himself drunk daily and get himself into debts. The dog is innocent, but in the end, it lost its life. After all, it still have a life. It should be treated equally. Instead, it was killed by the debt collector. If the father wasn’t a drunkard, if the father will pick himself and work, if the father doesn’t get himself into debts, the dog would not die.
This really saddens me and make me feel touched.

3.I rather be the city rat than the country rat. Comment
Firstly, I will like to say I disagree with the sentence.
Let me introduce you the meaning of this sentence first. I think that city rat refer to the people that are living in the city, where the technology are advanced, with better facilities.(e.g. Big buildings, better health care). In the opposite, I think that country rat is people who live in villages, towns, normally located at the border of the country, where technology are not advanced and experiencing slower lives.
As you know, the world is developing with advanced technology. These often takes place in the city of the country, thus, they will have more knowledge of the latest technology as compared to those that live at the border of the country. But those that mean that those that people that are living in the city have a better life?
Since I disagree with the sentence, I will voice out my opinion. I know it may or may not sound logical, but it still what I think after all. Even though city rat will have more knowledge, but they will have to work very hard to survive in the highly competitive place. This will cause a lot of stress and may make one lose the meaning living in this world.
Based on my experience- I have a grandmother living in a small ‘village’ in Malaysia. I often go back and visit her. If time allows, me and my family will stay for a period. As compared to Singapore (a developed country with quite advanced country), the live there are much more slower. The people there might not be able as knowledgeable as me, but I think that they do not have to face as my stress as me. And I find that their lives are rather relaxing. This is my point of view. I know some of you might not agree to what I say, but different people have different view.

Mas Selamat
SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has said Singapore's security challenge is to keep up its guard without getting fatigued or complacent.
In his first remarks on the capture of Mas Selamat Kastari, Mr Lee said Singapore must not think that the re-arrest of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) leader is the end of its problem.
He said the terrorism situation in Southeast Asia is under control, but the threat is far from over. He added that the price of security is eternal vigilance.
In a statement to the media on Saturday, the Prime Minister also said information about the capture of Mas Selamat on 1 April was not made public earlier, because of a prior agreement with the Malaysian authorities.
Mr Lee said he was told about the arrest by his Malaysian counterpart Najib Razak on 11 April during an impromptu four-eye lunch in Thailand's Pattaya after the ASEAN meeting was called off due to demonstrations.
He thanked Datuk Seri Najib for Malaysia's generous support and help and told him Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Wong Kan Seng had earlier told him of the arrest.
Mr Lee said he was happy and relieved that Mas Selamat had been found and arrested before he could do any harm.
But Malaysia had asked Singapore to keep this information quiet for the time being, so Singapore respected this and held the information very tightly in order not to jeopardise the operation.
But on May 7 afternoon during a weekly pre-Cabinet meeting lunch, Mr Wong received a phone call informing him that the Internal Security Department (ISD) had received a request from the The Straits Times to confirm a scoop that Mas Selamat had been arrested by the Malaysian authorities.
As the news had leaked, the Singapore government had no choice but to confirm the story.
Ministers who were present at the lunch were completely taken by surprise when Mr Wong told them that Mas Selamat had been arrested.
In his statement, Mr Lee also thanked all officers involved in tracking down Mas Selamat over the past year.
He said he never had a doubt that Mas Selamat would be found because he knew the quality and commitment of the ISD officers working on this.
He said the ISD had recovered quickly from the mistakes which led to Mas Selamat's escape from the Whitley Road Detention Centre in February last year.
Mr Lee also thanked the ISD and its Malaysian counterpart, the Special Branch, for working closely together.

Swine flu
Hey everybody. Today, i am going to post about the swine flu.
Influenza A(H1N1) - update 11
3 May 2009 -- As of 0600 GMT, 3 May 2009, 17 countries have officially reported 787 cases of influenza A(H1N1) infection.
Mexico has reported 506 confirmed human cases of infection, including 19 deaths. The higher number of cases from Mexico in the past 48 hours reflects ongoing testing of previously collected specimens. The United States Government has reported 160 laboratory confirmed human cases, including one death.
The following countries have reported laboratory confirmed cases with no deaths - Austria (1), Canada (70), China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (1), Costa Rica (1), Denmark (1), France (2), Germany (6), Ireland (1), Israel (3), Netherlands (1), New Zealand (4), Republic of Korea (1), Spain (13), Switzerland (1) and the United Kingdom (15).
Further information on the situation will be available on the WHO website on a regular basis.
WHO advises no restriction of regular travel or closure of borders. It is considered prudent for people who are ill to delay international travel and for people developing symptoms following international travel to seek medical attention, in line with guidance from national authorities.
Canada on 2 May reported the identification of the A(H1N1) virus in a swine herd in Alberta. It is highly probable that the pigs were exposed to the virus from a Canadian farm worker recently returned from Mexico, who had exhibited flu-like symptoms and had contact with the pigs. There is no indication of virus adaptation through transfer from human to pigs at this time.
There is no risk of infection from this virus from consumption of well-cooked pork and pork products.
Individuals are advised to wash hands thoroughly with soap and water on a regular basis and should seek medical attention if they develop any symptoms of influenza-like illness.
The above news was extracted from the website http://www.swineflu.sg/forum/index.php?topic=71.0.
It is the latest news i get. Well, as you can see, swine flu is getting more and more serious. Its spreading too fast among the world. and most importantly, it kills. So we have take precaution against it.For eg, we must take our temperature regularly. If we find anything unusual, we should not hesitate to go to the hospital.
Even though Singapore Alert Status is orange, but we have to play our part to keep singapore away from the swine flu.
To know more about the colour alert thing, you can go to this website
-http://www.swineflu.sg/forum/index.php?topic=42.0
To get the latedt news on swine flu, you can go to this website
-http://www.swineflu.sg/
The websites are rather reliable as it is under singapore. So feel free to have a look at it.
Lastly, i want to say take care! espically during times like this...

class
Hello guys and people, i am back to square one-posting!
Recently, there has been some problems among the class.
Like quarrels and problems that are unsolved keep coming up.
Take for example the class seating arrangement, there isn't a win-win solution.
But the cmc tried their best to make it the best.
Still, there are complaints or rather 'appeal'.
Seriously speaking, i am really tired being a monitor.
Many will be talking at my back, saying some mean words or rather unpleasant comments about me, saying that i too strict or so on. But have the class really stand at my position and think? Some time, i feel that i am the bad guy while they are the good guys. In other words, even though helping the class but in their eye, i am still a what so ever guy which is to the bad side while they are to the good side. But can i just leave the class and do nothing? It really makes me wonder if i should just stop whatever i am doing and just let them do whatever they want. Maybe this is a win-win soultion among the class but will this benefit the class?
I am a person who wants a good impression among most, or every, but because of the postion 'monitor' makes people saying mean things behind my back. i really dislike it but i know i can do nothing. To gain back impression is very hard, but at the same time, controlling the class is also very hard. I am really sick and tired. Not trying to say that my class is very incoperative but maybe i still have not figure out the best way to interact with the class. I promise to give myself sometime and we will see in the future.
That's all for today's post. Anyway, enjoy the this weekend while you can!

Labour Days on the First of May
Most countries celebrate Labour Day on May 1, known as May Day and International Workers' Day. In Europe the day has older significance as a rural festival which is predominantly more important than that of the Labour Day movement. The holiday has become internationalised and several countries hold multi-day celebrations including parades, shows and other patriotic and labour-oriented events. However, in Northern Europe, Walpurgis Night is celebrated on the preceding night and this holiday merges with the Labour Day in some countries.
May 1 is a national holiday in Albania, Argentina, Aruba, Austria, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Bolivia, Bosnia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, China, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia (locally known as Hari Buruh), Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Latvia, Lithuania, Lebanon,Macedonia, Madagascar, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Morocco, Myanmar (Burma), Nigeria, North Korea, Norway, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, the Philippines (spelled as "Labor Day"), Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Serbia, Sweden, Syria, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, Uruguay, Venezuela, Vietnam, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
In Slovenia, Serbia and Ukraine, May 2 is also a national holiday.
