a random news a day keeps your mind awake
haha.XD
was watching shijienameda yesterday.
and the host went to dubai and oh gosh. their hotel room is like bigger than my house?
but super ex cause the price per night is about 5000 sing dollars.
and their country were reclaiming land and forming new islands
so i was curious and i decided to find out online if
reclaiming land= expansion of sea territory
the reason was that i sort of heard this somewhere before,
but i wasnt very sure so i went to google it.
below is teh news.
BUT. heh. i just realised its 2003. :O
read this if you are bored and since its june holidays
(realised its abit the longXD) SO I CUT IT FOR U.
and highlighted some points.
The shifting sands of time - and Singapore
By Bill Guerin
JAKARTA - In a region with some of the most ubiquitous white-sand beaches in the world, there is an unlikely sand war in Southeast Asia, fueled to a major extent by the steadily growing island of Singapore and the suspiciously shrinking Indonesian island of Riau, and complicated by the politics of Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.
For most of history, Singapore had hills - not big ones, but hills. Today, it is virtually flat, the hills having been dumped into the sea to make the island bigger. The Housing Development Board (HDB) pioneered such projects in the early 1960s with the aim of creating more land in the land-scarce republic to cater for housing, industry, infrastructure and recreation needs.
Riau, 800km northwest of the Indonesian capital Jakarta, is the main source of sand used to support Singapore's construction sector and coastal reclamation projects. Land reclamation costs an estimated S$15 per square meter, though the reclaimed land is then sold at, currently, about S$850 (US$484) per square meter.
Marine ecosystems and habitats have been damaged irreparably from the uncontrolled sand extraction, which has also led to the disappearance of a number of small islets in the province. It is only in the last two years, though, that Singapore's aggressive expansion of its coastal territory and its land reclamation policy have sparked problems with neighbors Indonesia and Malaysia. The issue has evolved into a two-pronged maritime border dispute.
Nipah Island, one of 83 border islands serving as points of reference for Indonesia's sea borders, is at the center of Singapore's current dispute with Jakarta. Nipah lies dead in front of the main reclamation work and is now almost submerged. Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Rokhmin Dahuri points out that if the island sinks completely the international boundary between Indonesia and Singapore will change - to Singapore's advantage.
Though the two countries have an existing agreement on marine territory, they have not yet settled their continental coastlines and economic exclusive zones (EEZs). The Convention on the Law of the Sea states that marine territory is measured based on the coastal base line.(answer to my question) Jakarta is concerned that in the future, some Riau land could thus be claimed as Singapore's on the basis that if Singapore gets wider, its territorial line will also get wider.
Singapore, whose container port is Asia's second-busiest after Hong Kong (yay!XD)and is crucial to the island republic's economy, is also facing problems with Malaysia. Malaysia has said the reclamation work could obstruct ships headed for its US$1 billion state-of-the-art Tanjung Pelepas port in its southern state of Johor, just half an hour's sailing time from Singapore Port. In fact, Malaysians claim that the project was designed to obstruct shipping and sabotage the progress of the port, being promoted to rival Singapore's, and officials in Kuala Lumpur have criticized Singapore for allegedly ignoring their concerns. (what?!)
Feelings can run high. In Malaysia the opposition Islamist Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) in its annual conference last year rallied party support against Singapore's land-reclamation project. PAS Johor state leader Mazlan Aliman told party members that Singapore's continuation of the reclamation work was a threat to his state and branded Malaysians who sell sand to Singapore for use in this project as traitors. =(
To add insult to injury, they said, Singapore reclamation works were using Indonesian sand to claim extra territory.
(this shows how NICE their characters are)

just watched [v]'s meishaonvshidai. (sorry, i was really damn bored)
they wrote compos and the following compo topped the class:
題目：一個沒有結局的故事 by 昝妹
五月天將來臨前 如往常般的放學途中
死命地擠上公車再拼命地跳下車
就在我開啓幸福家門時
隱約聽到一陣急促的新聞報道聲
走進家門 透過電視畫面看到的
竟是一幕幕如此 有如天崩地裂過後般的驚人景象
令人觸目驚心 原來國道三號高速公路北二高
經由突如其來的嚴重走山事件
造成了一場永遠無法挽回的悲劇。
無情的泥沙土石掩埋了四條生命
崔毀掉四個家庭 其中一個罹難的女性
是一個靠駕駛計程車
為南來北往的人服務的單親媽媽
尤其讓人鼻酸的是 這位堅強的媽媽
一路憑著堅毅的精神 獨自培養著下一代
就在她的孩子正要回報的時候
媽媽就這樣離開人世了。
可想象到母子倆人對未來的故事
一定還有許多精彩的期待。
不管是婚宴上的禮臺上
坐在產房前等待迎接金孫誕生的心情
不論是什麽場景 在這位罹難媽媽的心底
肯定蘊藏著很多未來
真的為這個沒有結局的故事 深感遺憾。

從小腸胃消化不錯 所以我走廁所和走廚房是一樣的
我是那種吃完早餐中餐晚餐 就會馬上沖去廁所的人
沒有廁所就不想活了
我的生命中真的不能沒有廁所
有一天剛吃完大餐 想說今天糞便的量 一定會大豐收
正當我脫下褲子 正準備好好地大解放
沒想到因爲忍了太久 一點糞便的足跡都沒有
我非常低失望 簡直快氣死了
所以我決定要去大吃大喝 囤積一點大便
但是沒有想到 下一次要去拉屎的時候…………
Then the paper was snatched away by 黑人

題目：第一次
30是男孩轉男人的關鍵旅程
回首往事卻感到憂喜參半
有美好的歡樂時光 也有親人的生離死別
在感情也有值得回憶的片刻
或許是太滿足現狀
對於30嵗 我也有了自己 不同的畫面出現
30 我來了
從小因爲父母離異的關係 加上自己個性的關係
向來獨來獨往 獨自地面對 自己的人生以及未來
在這條路上當然感到孤獨
有挫折 有困難 有沮喪的時候
從小永遠都不願意說出來
即便到了現在 還是自己在夜裏 跟上天的父親 聊一聊罷了
直到你的出現 讓我的生命開始變得不一樣了
現在我目標和人生的重心 都變成了你
就像圓規一樣 你就是中心點
我要一直圍繞著你
我覺得上帝這一生 給我最好的禮物就是你
是你讓我認識主
你是在我沮喪挫折時 最好的避風港
是你讓我一次感到在人生中
努力過的每一分每一刻的時候
不再是孤軍奮戰的
你讓我的人生變得更完整 更有力量
最近是我過了30之後
第一次
想到 真的很想要跟你共組一個美好的家庭
三十而立 你就是我努力生活的目標
我們一起組個家庭 好嗎？
