Hi everyone today I'm going to talk about a very new issue I have never discussed recently. I watched this Planet Earth commercial on TV(its a documentary on arts central about animals), then they were saying about a critically endangered species of animal, the Amur Leopard.


The reason why I'm posting this is because I was extremely shocked at the numbers left. Forty. Only forty left and the numbers are still dropping. I went to Wikipedia to do a little research and here's a little of what I've found.


The Amur Leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis or Panthera pardus amurensis) is the rarest and northernmost subspecies of leopard. Here's a picture

It is extremely close to extinction with only 25 to 34 individuals remaining in the wild (only 6 of these are female), while it is estimated that at least 100 are needed if the species is to avoid extinction. Habitat destruction and the fur trade have diminished its numbers dramatically, and has resulted in the animal becoming the rarest extant member of the feline family on the planet.


Omygawd sad hor...I wish the damn hunters will get their retribution. Anyway, enough of this environmental crap, big thanks to everyone who has made my first week of holiday not as boring as it could have been! And Lik Zhing, you rock too lol.

Changed the blog music to Always Be My Baby by David Cook. Wow the song is so awesome and beautiful. I really love this song. Lyrics We were as one babe For a moment in time And it seemed everlasting That you would always be mine Now you want to be free So I'm letting you fly Cause I know in my heart babe Our love will never die No! You'll always be a part of me I'm a part of you indefinitely Girl don't you know you can't escape me Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby And we'll linger on Time can't erase a feeling this strong No way you're never gonna shake me Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby I ain't gonna cry no And I won't beg you to stay If you're determined to leave girl I will not stand in your way But inevitably you'll be back again Cause ya know in your heart babe Our love will never end no You'll always be a part of me I'm part of you indefinitely Girl don't you know you can't escape me Ooh ...

Yo guys by popular demand I'm here to blog YARRH !!! Recently, I heard a ghost sotry from my brother when he came back this weekend from his BMTC(Basic Military Training Camp) at pulau tekong. WARNING IF U R TOO SCARED DUN READ THIS U WILL BE FREAKED OUT Okays...maybe u wont be freaked...anyways As BMTC started, many of the new enlistees did not know much about the BMTC. As he stated, in his platoon bunk there was a bed with the bedsheet stained in blood. BY right, no one was supposed to sleep in that bed as it was believed to be haunted. However, one of the enlistees was assigned to sleep there(luckily it wasn't my bro). Being new there, he did not know that he could ask to change bedsheets so he just slept as usual. A few days later, he got sick and had fever and started coughing. At first, they thought it was just normal sickness because many of the new recruits could not adapt to the new army lifestyle. However, things started getting worse when he started coughing blood......

Removed the previous post. Too depressing, even for me. It was probably posted on impulse. Now that I've straightened my thinking, I've decided to remove it. Work has been rather busy lately. I get to be a cashier finally..next Tuesday because Xavier took off. Thanks to all who have tried to console me, really really appreciate it. I just hate staying at home. Haiz.
