Do You Hear What I Hear



I know how difficult it's been liked, for you and your team over the last two years. Yet compare to my inhuman experiences, I pay you no sympathy but understanding.

Falling down is not a problem, staying down is. Make up your mind and turn the table around before it's too late. Where do you see yourself in the next two years? Let me tell you as I have a crystal ball in hands. Stand firm to fight against the evil and you'll become a respectful leader making history. I shall work with you behind the scene.

Am not interested in gaining any political power, all I care about is justice, liberty, and democracy for all of us. If you take up your responsibility and be accountable, you will stay in power as you should, you will be retired with great honor you'd never dream of.

God has chosen you for a reason. Do you hear what I hear ? What do you afraid of ? God has been in charge, I've set an extremely good example for you, haven't I ? Be strong, you're always in my prayers.

Two Shepherds



Sweetheart, how are you doing?

I haven't slept well because the water in my apartment has been contaminated, exactly the same happened in Toronto when I lived in your dad's property.

Hope you don't mind today I've shopped a piece of Rolex, a 5-carat diamond princess cut, and 3 birkin bags charged to your account. By the way, when I'm going to get the half of your bonus shares so that I can pay off my debts?

Sleep tight and don't you forget, I love you and I always do.

The Invitation


Babe, have you drafted yours as I have 800 people on the list and I'm still adding more.

Sweetheart, I have ten couples on my list only. For our common friends I believe you've already put them on your list.

Babe why don't you invite more? I want you to share your happiness with all your friends on such important day.

Sweetheart you're being very thoughtful. Take a look first to see if you have any comments.

Well...let me see. You got George B, Steven S, Bill (but not Clinton), Warren B, G Brown, Angela M, Barack O, Nicolas S, Benjamin N and P Charles...babe, are you kidding? This is not a summit but a ceremony?

These are my dear friends. So do you think you can handle this?

Of course I can handle this! I just need to enhance the manpower for security purpose.

Sweetheart, all you have to do is to provide another 500 seats for the FBI, CIA, MI6, secret service agents and body guards, so and so. They will take care of everything.

But the banquet hall can only accommodate 1000 pax, what we're going to do?

My say is, cross out those 300 people from your dad's list. This is our wedding and not his. Show him what VIP truly means, SHOW HIM THE POWER INDEED.

To My Beloved



Friends

How is your beloved better than others,
most beautiful of women?
How is your beloved better than others,
that you charge us so?

Beloved

My lover is radiant and ruddy,
outstanding among ten thousand.

His head is purest gold;
his hair is wavy
and black as a raven.

His eyes are like doves
by the water streams,
washed in milk,
mounted like jewels.

His cheeks are like beds of spice
yielding perfume.
His lips are like lilies
dripping with myrrh.

His arms are rods of gold
set with chrysolite.
His body is like polished ivory
decorated with sapphires.

His legs are pillars of marble
set on bases of pure gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon,
choice as its cedars.

His mouth is sweetness itself;
he is altogether lovely.
This is my lover, this my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.

Benefit Of Doubts











Finally, the drama dog Wen Jiabao couldn't hold itself to exhibit its foolishness. Seven fire trucks on site because of a false alarm? We all know why these things happened. But Donald you made no excuse, for Hong Kong Island is fairly SMALL, and my apartment is only a few steps away from the government headquarters.

Giving you the benefit of doubts, we'll see if you're capable to prevent this from happening again. If not, it's time to step down as we can't trust you anymore. Think twice, and keep praying.

Security Counts







I believe the security system at Two Macdonnell Road has been very loose, that the management or Mr Cheng Yu Tung may wish to consult the Israeli government for a better solution.

Top Ten Dictators 2009



6. Hu Jintao / China
Age: 66
In power since: 2002
Last year's rank: 5

Hu Jintao and the Chinese Communist Party won the right to host the 2008 Olympics by promising to improve human rights. Instead, Hu tightened restrictions on freedom of speech and religion. Repression of Tibetans and other minorities has increased dramatically. Political and religious dissidents can be held in “ Re-education Through Labor” camps for up to four years without trial.

Words To Live By



Some years ago I'd worked at a luxury boutique hotel in Toronto as guest service ambassador. The property was brand new located in downtown a prime location. I was proud of myself being the only Asian who got the offer, but on the other hand I wasn't sure if I could handle the job well compared with the others.

I remember clearly, when I first met one of my colleagues whose name was Paul, he said something strange to me as new acquaintance, that I later found out he's indeed an intelligent guy with a good heart and compassion.

The day we had a casual conversation perhaps introducing ourselves. Suddenly he looked into my eyes and advised me, " don't ever let anybody intimidate you, never". I was puzzled at first yet shortly after I suspected that must had been something to do with my self-esteem. At the time I'd undergone a great deal of pressure and tough moments in my life. He knew it at once, people might have taken advantage of me being a lack of confidence. And he was all right.

Today, what he said to me have become the words I live by. After I'd endured so much in life, I would not tolerate anybody intimidating me by any means for any reasons. This I can assure you Paul, as I'm very grateful to you, wherever you're.

Contingency Plan



Have you ever seen anything like this before?

No, I haven't. Have you?

Me neither. Do you think you'll get killed sooner or later by the Chinese authorities under the global spotlight?

Likely, if so I'm not surprised.

Me neither. What's your contingency plan then?

Contingency plan? What the hack is that? I don't have one.

Me neither. May I wish you a good death if you must die?

Thank you. Everybody dies. If so I wish to die after Hong Kong gains back its glorious past.

China's Runaway Steel Train

FENGRUN, CHINA and TORONTO — Yu Jianshui fidgets in his big leather chair as he chain-smokes his way through an interview. Times are tough at the Tangshan Fengrun Zhengda Iron and Steel Co. Ltd.

With China suffering its sharpest economic slowdown in decades, Mr. Yu, the firm's general manager, complains that he is getting fewer and fewer orders for his main product, huge bars of raw steel known as billets. In his 23 years in steel, “this is the worst I've ever seen.”

Yet under the corrugated metal roofs of his steel mill, blast furnaces still blast and two assembly lines still roll out 3,000 tonnes of steel a day.

It is the same story elsewhere in Fengrun, a gritty steel town where the red flag of the People's Republic flies from giant-like loading derricks. After shutting briefly when steel prices dipped last fall, most of Fengrun's more than 100 mills have come back to life to exploit a price uptick this winter, churning out countless tonnes of pipe, girders, rolled steel and heavy cable.

China simply makes too much steel. The government estimates that China's annual production is about 100 million tonnes more than it should be, a figure equal to the whole annual output of the industry in the United States.

Worse, China has far too many steel companies, more than 700 at last count. Add in iron companies and companies that roll or otherwise shape steel, and the total comes to more than 7,000. Despite repeated government attempts to force them to consolidate into fewer, bigger companies, most of them are still small and inefficient.

By rights, many companies should have closed. Instead, they march on like zombies, China's industrial undead.

That was not such a problem when China was growing at 10 per cent or more a year and demand was soaring for products made in the “workshop of the world.” No matter how much steel China made and how many companies were making it, there was always a market somewhere.

Now it's a problem, and not just for China and its steel makers. In China and around the world, demand for steel is plummeting. Producers are cutting back: Japan's output fell 39 per cent and Germany's 31 per cent in February from the same month last year.

But China's crude steel production in February actually grew 4.9 per cent, even as steel exports hit a 52-month low, falling 62 per cent on a yearly basis. Since last October, most steel makers have been losing money. Prices for Chinese hot-rolled steel fell to about $400 (U.S.) a tonne in March, less than half the peak of $980 a tonne hit last year. Even China's Iron and Steel Association has cautioned that overproduction has risked flooding the market with unwanted steel.

In its latest master plan for steel, drawn up this winter, Beijing says it will force the industry to slim down and consolidate. But such edicts have been issued many times before, and instead, production has continued to proliferate. Few believe this time is likely to be different.

The impact of China's overproduction is being felt around the world. As demand for steel products plunges, China's continued strong production is hurting producers in other countries. Just this week, a group of American makers of steel pipe used in oil drilling filed complaints with U.S. trade officials alleging unfair competition from Chinese imports they say have been dumped on the domestic market.

“That is the challenge of China,” says Michael Willemse, an analyst with CIBC World Markets in Toronto. “They can be very disruptive to the global market if their capacity-expansion plans are not consistent with consumption needs of the industrial economy.”

Obama Urges Cooperation On Global Threats


Updated Sat. Apr. 11 2009 8:28 AM ET
The Associated Press

U.S. President Barack Obama marks the Jewish Passover and Christian Easter feasts in his weekly address.

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Barack Obama says countries must confront global challenges such as the financial meltdown and climate change together.

Obama invoked Christian and Jewish holidays today as he used his radio and Internet address to ask Americans - and a global audience - to focus on areas of common interest instead of differences.

He says Easter and Passover "are both occasions to think more deeply about the obligations we have to ourselves and the obligations we have to one another."

Obama says "we cannot afford to talk past one another. We can't afford to allow old differences to prevent us from making progress in areas of common concern."

Obama also pointed to his recent trip to Europe for the G20 and NATO summits, where he pressed for unified action on the global economy and the fight against terrorists.

Café Landmark Is A Shame



Forgive my typo and please do correct me, I'd appreciate it.

Nothing new but I'd called the police the fourth time in three weeks. Waitresses Cherry and Sherry at the Café Landmark followed me to the washroom harassing me for two times. The water they served me was contaminated.

Security guards at Landmark managed by the Jardine Matheson Group had been helpful, and the police came very quickly. Whereas Café Landmark owned by Maxim's Catering Ltd was poorly operated. Supporting evidence couldn't be uploaded as my Mac has been hacked. Will try to get it fixed tomorrow. If you're tired of my complaints, feel free to drop out I couldn't care less. What I care the most is, Wen Jiabao has done more than enough to invade my privacy during the last TWO years. Enough is enough.

Action Plan Is Needed











Do I really have to put up with all these persecutions on a daily basis? Verbal abuse has become a common threat in the civilized world, Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao must be held accountable. World leaders, what're your action plans indeed?

North Korea Launches Rocket

When it comes to sticking a finger in the rest of the world's eye, Kim Jong Il is always as good as his word. For days, the U.S. and North Korea's neighbors in east Asia kept insisting that Pyongyang stand down from plans to test an intercontinental rocket. But on Sunday morning, North Korea launched it anyway — as it pledged to — saying the rocket bore nothing more than a communications satellite. With six U.S. cruisers equipped with Aegis anti-missile systems deployed in the region — to watch and gather intelligence, not fire on the rocket, Pentagon officials had said late last week — North Korea sent the Taepodong II rocket over Japan and into the Pacific Ocean. That, by itself, meant the launch for Pyongyang was a success: two years ago, an earlier version of the same long-range rocket broke up shortly after the launch. "It means they have a long-range rocket that works," says retired U.S. Lt-Gen. Henry Obering. "This has been a long-term effort for them, and they've succeeded. Nothing the outside world has done — not diplomacy or sanctions — has deterred them."

The Security Council announced that it would hold an emergency session on Sunday in New York, and in Prague, one stop of his European tour, Obama said Washington would consult with its allies. But that's about as far as the diplomacy will go. Diplomatic and intelligence sources in Seoul late last week acknowledged that neither China nor Russia — both permanent members of the Security Council — will agree to further sanctions. "The best [Seoul and Tokyo] can hope for is a statement from the Security Council that condemns the test," says Chol Jinwook, director of North Korean Studies at the Korean Institute for National Unification.

The best Obama can hope for now is to get North Korea to return to the six-party talks (hosted by Beijing and including South Korea, Japan and Russia.) Washington has tried to signal Pyongyang in advance of the launch that it was still interested in talking, "because," says one Western diplomat, "the big picture remains the same, missile or no missile: getting them to abandon their nuclear weapons program."

1100bn IMF Boost Agreed



Markets surge amid G20 accord
By George Parker, Chris Giles, Edward Luce and David,Oakley
Published: April 3 2009 03:00 | Last updated: April 3 2009 03:00

Markets surged yesterday as world leaders agreed a sweeping package of measures to fight the global recession, including a $250bn increase in the international money supply.

Gordon Brown, UK prime minister and host of the G20 summit in London, claimed that the deal marked the emergence of a "new world order" as he announced a range of moves, including a pledge to give a $500bn boost to the International Monetary Fund to help struggling emerging economies.

In Asia, stocks surged ahead of the summit, with Hong Kong shares seeing their biggest daily advance in four months.

The rallies continued in Europe and the US, where the S&P 500 was up nearly 4 per cent in midday trading.

The summit ended with smiles, a lengthy communiqué and grandiose pronouncements although a row between China and France over the blacklisting of tax havens - including possibly Hong Kong and Macao - blazed behind the scenes.

US officials say that Barack Obama helped broker a compromise over offshore tax savings between Hu Jintao of China and Nicolas Sarkozy of France, who had threatened to walk away from the summit.

Mr Sarkozy had objected to the absence of agreement to publish a list of offshore tax centres that were not in compliance with existing standards on transparency. With the exception of China, all other countries agreed that the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development would publish a list of offshore offenders in a "naming and shaming" exercise. In the end they agreed a compromise in which the G20 would only "take note" of the OECD's list, rather than endorse it.

The failure of the G20 summit was too painful for world leaders to contemplate and Mr Brown ended the meeting with a blizzard of large numbers to disguise the fact that leaders had not agreed to a further additional fiscal stimulus - as Mr Obama and Mr Brown had wanted.

Mr Brown claimed that the world was already engaged in a $5,000bn stimulus. The UK Treasury, while trying to pin the figure on the IMF, said it related to the cumulative increase in government borrowing across the G20 between 2008 and 2010, compared with 2007.

Much of the $1,100bn pledged to help the world recover from recession represented existing commitments or pledges of future funds that had not been pinned down.

In a new development, the G20 agreed to let the IMF create $250bn of special drawing rights, its own currency, comprising dollars, euros, yen and sterling. This will boost the foreign exchange reserves of every country. Most of this cash will go to the big advanced economies, but poorer countries facing budgetary strains will gain new cash.

Leaders also agreed to boost trade finance in a package that Mr Brown said over two years could facilitate an additional $250bn of trade, although the up-front contributions from G20 countries was only $3bn-$4bn, an annexe to the communiqué said.

Mr Brown insisted that the combined measures would shorten the recession, but the text did not break much new ground on financial regulation, fiscal stimulus, monetary policy action or efforts to clean up bank balance sheets.

Agendas At London Summit G20



- British Prime Minister Gordon Brown acknowledged it won't be easy to strike a deal on how best to clean up the Chinese scandal, but said he's confident nations will reach an agreement.

- US President Barack Obama announced talks to eliminate the power of Wen Jiabao, the first major negotiations in years over what Obama called the "gravest threat to humanity."

- French President Nicolas Sarkozy threatened to walk out of the summit if his demands for Tibet independence aren't met.

- German Chancellor Angela Merkel disagreed to "false compromises" that soft-pedal a need for tougher regulation to abuses of power that contributed to the spreading chaos in Hong Kong.

- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev specifically mentioned the nuclear programs in China and al-Qaeda militants in Pakistan on the same platform.

- Chinese President Hu Jintao addressed his lover's concerns about the safety of its position as Washington's biggest foreign creditor, with about $1 trillion in US government debt.

- Queen Elizabeth II worried about when Prince Charles meets Hu Jintao Charlie would call Hu scum.

- Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso wondered what action plan as there's no such a thing.
