I know some ppl are crazy.. but i didn’t think they would be this crazy..!! when i heard that Obama’s breakfast was being auction on Ebay from a friend.. i thought what a crazy thing to do. But it’s true.. apparently Senator Obama’s half eaten waffle and sausage is still sitting in a freezer at John Oakes’ home, a loyal customer of Glider Diner in Scranton. He convinced the diner’s owner, LeStrange to give him the leftover of Obama’s meal.
What started out as a joke ended up in someone bidding a good $20K for the leftovers. Now what would you think one would wanna do with Obama’s leftover..?? Now the ironic part is Oakes is a supporter of Hilary Clinton and he was planning to use the money raised on ebay for Obama’s leftover to go to Hilary’s campaign for president. See how bizarre..!!! As for me.. ! i’ll never keep Obama’s breakfast..! if i get ahold of it.. down into the garbage can it will go.
Forced and having no choice after weeks of urging from world leaders for an open dialogue in the wake of anti-government protests in Tibet, the China government agreed on Friday to a meeting with an envoy sent by the exiled Tibetan leader, the Dalai Lama. No much was revealed about location, time and place this meeting is going to take place at and with whom.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy had suggested that he might skip the Olympic games’ opening ceremony unless Beijing sits and talk with the Dalai Lama. The Tibetans protests that sparked deadly rioting in the capital had threatened to overshadow this summer’s Beijing Olympic Games. US President Bush and Australia Prime Minister Kevin Rudd were some of the world’s leader calling for this open talk.
“It is hoped that through contact and consultation, the Dalai side will take credible moves to stop activities aimed at splitting China, stop plotting and inciting violence and stop disrupting and sabotaging the Beijing Olympic Games so as to create conditions for talks,” it quoted the official as saying.
China had reported only 22 death during the recent riot in Tibet’s capital Lhasa, while overseas supporters believed that the numbers were many times over. Very sad..!

The Canadian dollar has once again raised by 2 cents against the weekness in the U.S. greenback. Supported by stronger commodity prices, gold was up by $16USD at $948 US. Prices for silver and copper were also higher.

People liked him right off,” Louis Benoit said of his late father, who died Friday afternoon at the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre in Halifax of complications following an operation at the age of 83. “He was just an all-around good guy,” he said of the Trenton-born man, who lived south of the border for a few years as a child but spent much of his life in Arichat and Halifax. “He was never rich or anything, but he was generous with his time.
“Indeed, the modest but mighty talented musician started sharing tunes with the world at five years old, playing harmonica for the people of Watertown, Mass.
“He busked on the streets,” Louis said. “He was actually hiding the money under his porch and treating all the kids to candy. His mother probably didn’t really like it and put a stop to it, I think.”
Wished I had gotten to see him at least played once. Rest in peace Mr Benoit.
You wouldn’t believe how crazy this world is eh. But yes. .it gets crazier everyday. How can a father forced your 8 yr old daughter to marry .. a man 22 yrs her senior.. and a child molester at that. So ths 8 yr old took her father and her husband to court. Arriving at court on her own, Nojoud Muhammed Nasser looked for a judge to to help her get a divorce accusing her husband of sexual and domestic abuse. Luckily the court Judge heard her complaint and ordered the arrests of her father and husband.
Her father beat her up and told her that she had to marry the man.. else she would be raped..!! what a father..!! OMG..!!! It is such a shame.. that any child should be subjected to sexual abuse and domestic violence.. at 8 yrs of age. And it looks like the darn man.. still thinks he did nothing wrong.. because she is his “wife” ..! what a freaking PERVERT..!
As much as I love Singapore.. and as much as i love our Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and have loads of respect for him, I’ll have to say that him blaming the people for being complacent when Ji Man mas Selamat’s escape from custody instead of taking full responsibility or punishing the right department.. really makes me think that the Minister Mentor is getting old and senile.
“He said last month that the break-out was a ‘very severe lesson in complacency’. Mas Selamat, 47, who had planned to crash a plane into Changi Airport, escaped from Internal Security Department custody on Feb 27. He is still on the run.”
You’ve gotta wonder what was he thinking.. when he said that..???!!!!??
When i read about the Chinese police fired on pilgrim protest and Tibetans wounded.. i cannot help but think of Tiananmen Square Massacre. That day was a very sad day.. I was in Beijing for work.. and was quickly evacuated by the company i worked for .. and sent home immediately.. but it was a very scary day. 100,000 students marched and gathered in Tiananmen Square and requested in vain to meet the Premier Li.
“In a statement from his home in exile in Dharamsala, India, the Dalai Lama said that the demonstrations were “outbursts of long pent-up physical and mental anguish” that proved most Tibetans want freedom from Chinese rule. But he said that Tibetans should not try to disrupt the Olympics. “It will be futile and not helpful to anyone if we do something that will create hatred in the minds of the Chinese people,” he added.”

To be honest.. i am not surprised that hotel chain Westin is using the Wii at over 150 location and resorts.. though more details has yet to be released. Having worked for the Westin Group .. some 15 yrs ago… the hotel management really takes care of the guests needs.. and beyond.
It is said.. that the Wii is a relatively inexpensive console to keep .. by the Westin.. and this will provide guests with a new experience. I know it will be a success.. and other hotels will definitely follow suit. This is the way hotels can keep up with their competition .. i guess.
