Yesterday I went to the mamak stall (Malay calling for hawker stall nearby the roadside) that was just outside my college, having lunch with a few friends. Than suddenly one of my friend told me about this guy about 30 plus or in he's 40 had a stall near the mamak stall, but he sells cloths. What happen was that he collect every parking fees driver or motorcyclists who park nearby the road (actually that's not he's land), mostly is the college students transportation, i was shocked about this Malaysian guy's attitude towards the student. But now I'm not that sure who gave him the authority to collect those fees? But what to do? So the students don't want anything happen to their vehicle so they just do according to what the man want, just pay for it. I hope the student will go and ask or get some help from it to get rid this guy. If there is someone gave him the authority that's good, if no, i guess he will just face the law.

He lives with his mother, younger brother, Jin-seok (Won Bin), and fiance Young-shin (Lee Eun Joo). His mother and Young-shin runs a noodle shop in market and he shines shoes to send Jin-seok to university.
Although the living isn't eas, they are working hard for their better future. Yet, the Korean War breaks out and Jin-tae & his brother get drafted and are located at the battle front immediately. With bullets flying and bombs going off a few inches away, Jin-tae realizes that he has to protect his brother alive and send him back home safe even if he hurt himself. Believing so, he learns that earning a Medal of Honor may send his brother back, and now Jin-tae begining volunteering for dangerous missions.
Yet, Jin-seok is always uncertain about Jin-tae's motivation. Midst of war, U.N troops join the war and the war seems to end soon. Somehow, Jin-tae succeeds in many missions and end up getting a Medal of Honor. By then, Jin-tae has driven war crazy with such hatred for North Koreans and Jin-seok refused to go home. Their tension grows between two and there is a sudden attack of Chinese Army. With Chinese Army driven ruthlessly 2 brothers get separated and Jin-tae believes that Jin-seok is killed during the battle.
Jin-tae is now running mad. Yet nobody can bring the dead brother back. It is here in this ruined country these 2 beloved brothers are plunged into an unexpected turning moment of their fate.

Dolphins save swimmers from shark
WHANGAREI (New Zealand): A pod of dolphins were being praised yesterday for providing a protective barrier around a group of swimmers who were being threatened by a great white shark off the northeastern coast of New Zealand.
Rob Howes and three other lifeguards were on a training swim about 100m off shore at Ocean Beach near here when the dolphins raced in and herded the group together.
“They started to herd us up, they pushed all four of us together by doing tight circles around us,” Howe said.
When he tried to drift away from the group, two of the bigger dolphins herded him back.
He then saw why. A 3m long great white shark was cruising toward the group about 2m below the surface.
“I just recoiled. It was only about 2m away from me, the water was crystal clear and it was as clear as the nose on my face,” he said, adding he then realised the dolphins had moved in to protect the swimmers.
The group were surrounded by the dolphins for 40 minutes before they were able to make it back to shore.
Another lifeguard, Matt Fleet, was patrolling nearby in a rescue boat when he saw the d

I just got back to hostel yesterday. Before that, I went back to my hometown cauz I'd 1 week hols.......hehehehe....actually this hols I'm rather busy with my art work,bahasa Melayu's ulasan and studied my management studies that I'm gonna have MCQ test next week........sigh.........besides that,i also attended my dad's Malay friends house cause they celebrated Hari Raya, I also received duit raya (red packet iin chinese). I also enjoyed my weekend with my ex-school mates by attending a Sichuan Performace and The 8th Wonder Of The World-Terracota from China in Chung Hua Middle School No.1. It's really a great show that I could say especially the shadow performance by using hands and the changing faces by a popular master than once Andy Lau wanted to learned from him about changing the masks. The terracota was also one of the most interesting thing, but unfortunately it's fake but it almost made liked the real.
