Student fined maximum $10,000 for smuggling in puppy

A STUDENT who smuggled in a puppy from Johor Baru was slapped with the maximum fine of $10,000 on Wednesday.

Liu Liangwu, 21, pleaded guilty on Monday to importing the two-month-old chihuahua from Malaysia without a licence on Dec 24 last year.

A Customs officer was checking a car, driven by Liu, when he felt something furry on opening a compartment under the driver's seat.

Liu admitted that it was a puppy he had bought from a pet shop in Johor Baru. He did not apply for a licence from the Director-General, Agri-Food and Veterinary Services.

Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority prosecutor Yap Teck Chuan asked the court for a deterrent sentence.

He said the Animals and Birds (Quarantine) Rules required any dog or cat imported from any country except Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and Ireland to be vaccinated against rabies and a subsequent 30-day quarantine.

This is to safeguard Singapore against diseases, especially rabies - a fatal viral disease which can be transmitted to humans or any warm-blooded animal through the bite of an infected animal - from spreading here.

'The risk of a rabies incursion is a serious concern as we are surrounded by infected countries. Singapore has been free from rabies since 1953,' he said.

Malaysia is not rabies-free and dogs imported from the country which have not undergone the required import procedures would pose a risk to the public here, he said.

Liu's lawyer, Mr Khoo Aik Yeow, said his client, an animal lover, bought the puppy for RM1,400 (about S$615) from an established pet shop in JB. The pet shop owner had assured him that the puppy was healthy, vaccinated and free from any diseases. Liu regretted the offence and promised not to do it in future.

District Judge May Mesenas said the case clearly called for a stiff sentence to reflect the seriousness of the offence.

She accepted the prosecutor's argument that there was a need to deter such offences from being committed, especially bringing in a dog which had not been vaccinated and subject to quarantine controls.

The puppy was seized. A locally bred chihuahua costs about $900 while an imported one from Australia can range from $1,000 to $2,000.

In 2001, a man who smuggled in four puppies was given three months' jail while another offender was given three weeks last year for importing a shih tzu from Malacca.

William Shakespeare, a famous person who died on e same day as his birthday..

Pretty cool huh? Betcha not many know about that..

What if the same thing happened to me?

Well it isn't that hard, from the easy availability of knives, screwdrivers, chainsaws, and not to forget the amount of high-rise buildings in sg.. Juz tt i juz missed my chance by a day, but what if..

1. How many ppl will act know abt it? Pretty reclusive these days..

2. How many ppl out of those who know will come for my wake? Not many since it's e busy period, n i dun think i'm tt close a fren to warrant such a visit..

3. How many of those who do come will be crying? Projected figures of less than 10 will cry for me, more should be crying for all the shit tt i left behind, including 3 projects, some debts, plus a routine..

Hmm..

3.1. I can't really help much in the projects due to my lack of listening in class as well as knowledge, so they'll prob be better off w/o me leeching off them

3.2. I'm easily replaced and subbed, n the wonders of e far east should be able to take their minds off me

4. My will, practically non-existent, but lets juz try to list some things out

4.1. Things of value: memories, friendships, not to forget love; well intangibles tt can't be passed on, so not much point in writing them down, will bring them along to my grave

4.2. Things with a price tag on them: none really belongs to me since i haven't really worked for my own pay, so theoretically everything belongs to my parents, oh well..

4.2.1. (I'll wear the shirt on my deathbed btw hehe..)

5. Will be a pretty dull affair in terms of colour since I dun have any offsprings at the moment hehe.. So there's no need to distinguish b/w generations..

6. Well my coffin should be pretty cheap considering my size, hmm, scrapped tt, I'll prob be cremated and poured into a regular-sized urn, with plenty of breathing room..

7. I'll prob hold an "alive" wake first, juz to let everyone know tt i'm dying, rather than juz have a wake where everyone comes n i can't even thank them for coming.. for more information, pls refer to "Tuesday with Morrie"

8. Published on this blog, a memorial in my name..

8.1. Done by myself..

9. Well the Earth will still continue rotating since my weight will be too insignificant to cause unbalance in nature

10. Hmm i'm thinking of wat else there is when a person dies.. Den i realise, nothing else will really be affected since life still goes on..

Oh well, kinda depressing how insignificant one can be to the whole universe..

To the world, u may be one person..
But to one person, you are the world..

Reflect, not regret..

Upon the events that are over.. Coz no one can turn back the hands of time, nor step into the past and make any changes.. What's done is done, learn from the experience. Think about it often, not to feel sad about, but as a reminder to never do it again..

Coz it hurts.. It still does..

Life's full of regrets once you look back at it.. But the balance of nature always ensure a similar amount of images that will bring smiles back onto your face..

The little little things.. Juz dun seem enuff..

The many many thanks.. Can never be sufficient..

Thanks for listening..
And staying..
And enduring..
And scolding..
And cooking..
And encouraging..

Many nights we’ve prayed,
With no proof anyone could hear.
In our hearts a hopeful song,
We barely understood.

Now we are not afraid,
Although we know there’s much to fear.
We were moving mountains long,
Before we knew we could.

There can be miracles,
When you believe.
Though hope is frail,
It’s hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles,
You can achieve.
When you believe,
Some how you will.
You will when you believe.

Easy to despair,
When all you hear is fear and lies.
Easy just to run and hide,
To frightened to begin.

But if we dare to dare,
Don’t wait for answers from the sky.
Each of us can look inside,
And hear this song within.

They don’t always happen when, you ask.
And it’s easy to give in, to your fear.
But when you blinded by your faith,
Can’t see your way clear through the rain,
A small but still resilient voice;
Says hope is very near.
Ohhhhh.

There can be miracles,
When you believe.
Though hope is frail,
It's hard to kill.

Who knows what miracles,
You can achieve.
When you believe,
Some how you will. . .

How you will
You will when you believe.
You will when you believe.

The three grand essentials of happiness are: Something to do, Someone to love, and Something to hope for..

To be without desires, is to be content. If you do not wish to have something, you are content with what you have. And it always seems to me that, the more we don't desire something, the greater the chance of getting it, and all the more exciting. To be without desire, is to be simple. If life is simple, then life is not complicated..

I'm sorry..

Sorry for those who believed in me..
Sorry for the doubts tt i have..
Sorry for slacking off..
Sorry for being stupid..

a WaLk To ReMeMbEr...

Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.

fRiEnDs..

If you should die before me, ask if you could bring a friend..
I will sail my vessel, till the river runs dry...
If you live to be a hundred,
I want to live to be a hundred minus one day,
so I never have to live without you..
The highest mountains i will climb..
True friendship is like sound health;
the value of it is seldom known until it is lost..
The deepest oceans i will dive..
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out..
Till the end of world..
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Walk beside me and be my friend.
Till the end of time..
Strangers are just friends waiting to happen.
Friends are the Bacon bits in the Salad Bowl of Life..
Come what may..
Friendship is one mind in two bodies..
There will always be..
I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay..
Someone honest..
If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't jump with them,
I'd be at the bottom to catch them..
and shy..
Everyone hears what you say.
Friends listen to what you say.
Best friends listen to what you don't say..
But gentle..
We all take different paths in life,
but no matter where we go,
we take a little of each other everywhere..
and kind..
My father always used to say that when you die,
if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life..
Waiting..
Hold a true friend with both your hands..
and waiting..
A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart
and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words..
For your everlasting smile..

When life fell apart, love fell into place...

ShOuLd I sTaY...

Had a drive
Driven by your love
But when you messed around
I lost the drive I found

Thought you needed
Needed someone true
But you changed your mind
Or had I failed you?

Wish you’d been
Careful with my heart
But you tore it apart
And broke an angel’s heart

The kiss was true
Has to end somehow
But I am livin’ proof of what love is about

It’s hard holding you
Loving you, losing you
It’s sad to be true
And be fooled by you
I don’t know (I don’t know)
I gotta know
Should I stay or should I go?

You played me on
Played me like a clown
But I feel for you
Even though I’m down

My heart is heavy
Heavy like a rock
But I am so amused
You’re still in my thoughts

It’s hard holding you
Loving you, losing you
It’s sad to be true
And be fooled by you
I don’t know (I don’t know)
I gotta know
Should I stay or should I go?

Oooohh… should I stay?
Should I go?

It’s hard holding you
Loving you, losing you
It’s sad to be true
And be fooled by you
I don’t know (I don’t know)
I wanna know
Should I stay or should I…?

This time its done
It’ll never feel the same
But we had some good times
Guess it’s sad just the same

I guess the truth
Doesn’t matter somehow
But you were livin’ proof of what love is about…

Tt's me..

TeArDrOpS oN mY gUiTaR...

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

[Chorus:]

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

[Repeat Chorus]

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

I guess there's still alot of the human lesson tt i'll need to learn..

Which includes some other parts as well..

pIzZa..

a lack of expression..

or prob it's the "being watched" feeling that keeps things inside or from coming out..

hmm.. an inherent need to look good?

tt's superficial.. n it sux..

from the way things are, alot of little little details will be gone forever..

like an upside-down pizza with the toppings falling off one by one, in the end, u're only left with the crust.. simple, plain and bland..

how abt a bit of spice?

pRoPhEcY...

predictions, or game plan?

or juz pure luck?

so when do u go with ur instincts, n when do u follow tried n tested formulas?

or maybe it's juz sth tt cannot be helped..

u win some, u lose some.. tt's karma..

MeRrY cHrIsTmAs!!!

Well when's a better time to blog den xmas eve?

nothing much on the mind to think abt, nobody to bother u with other stuff..

Hehe.. Hopefully tt'll last all the way..

I am glad.. Now i hope to be happy..

And all i wan for Xmas is..

Peace..

7 REASONS WHY NOT TO MESS WITH CHILDREN

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow
a human
because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very
small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a
human; it
was physically impossible.

The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".

The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".





A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while
they
were drawing.

She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.

As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked
what the
drawing was.

The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."

The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."

Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl
replied,
Someone will in a minute."





A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her
five
and six year olds.

After explaining the commandment to "honour" thy Father and thy
Mother, she
asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our
brothers
and sisters?"

Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family)
answered,
Thou shall not kill."





One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the
dishes at
the kitchen sink.

She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair
sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.

She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of
your
hairs white, Mum?"

Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong
and make
me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."

The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then
said,
Mum, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"





The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to
persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.

"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown
up and
say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a
doctor.


A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the
teacher,
she's dead."





A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood.

Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood
on my
head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red
in the
face."

"Yes," the class said.

"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary
position
the blood doesn't run into my feet?"

A little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet ain't empty."





The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary
school
for lunch.

At the head of the table was a large pile of apples.

One of the nuns made a note, and posted it on the apple tray: "Take
only
ONE . God is watching."

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table
was a
large pile of chocolate chip cookies.

A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the
apples.

ShAy..

What would you do - Shay's story.


Two Choices

What would you do?....you make the choice. Don't look for a punch line,
there isn't one. Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice?

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled
children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would
never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its
dedicated staff, he offered a question: 'When not interfered with by
outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot
understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?'

The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, physically
and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other
people treat that child.'

Then he told the following story:

Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?'
Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like
Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were
allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not
expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for
guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'

Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. His Father watched with a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but
was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a
glove andplayed in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he
was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was
scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win
the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold
the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that
the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life,
moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make
contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The
pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards
Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams
started yelling, 'Shay, run to first! Run to first!' Never in his life had
Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down
the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!' Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it
to the base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right
fielder had the ball ... the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's
intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the
third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the
runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.

All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'
Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to
help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third! Shay, run to third!'

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!' Shay ran to
home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the
grand slam and won the game for his team.
'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face,
'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.


Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy, and
coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

TwInKle..

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveler in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark,—
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
