At last, all puppies have found homes, and also being good companions to the kind hearted fellows. Thanks to friends who helped to promote the three puppies for adoption. You’ve been helping so much in giving them a good living.
May all beings be happy.

Pop-rockers the Veronicas have sung out against fur in a new campaign for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
The ad features twins Jess and Lisa Origliasso each holding a shockingly realistic skinned “rabbit” with a caption reading: “Here’s the rest of your fur coat.”
“Here’s the rest of your fur coat” - The Veronicas for PETA
The twins launched the ad campaign outside Sydney’s Queen Victoria Building today, both wearing PETA T-shirts branded with the slogan “Mean People Wear Fur”.
They condemned Australia’s continued fur imports, most of which come from China, saying they are unnecessary.
Jess explained the campaign was to “discourage people from buying fur and educating them from where it came from”.
PETA says the campaign is aimed at the world’s leading fur exporter, China, where animals on fur farms are often skinned alive.
It says dogs and cats are killed in China for the international fur trade but with Chinese fur often processed and relabelled in other countries, it’s difficult to identify where the fur has come from.
“For us, fur is barbaric and unnecessary,” Jess said. “There is no need for fur.”
The Origliassio sisters have always liked PETA’s strong visual campaigns and are very proud to be part of their campaign against fur.
Because of their involvement in fashion design they felt it was the right campaign for them.

Detailed information: Yusasnita Mohd Yusof, 22, reading details of the organ donation form at Pos Malaysia in Jalan Telawi, Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur Friday.
KUALA LUMPUR: The people can now get organ donor registration forms at selected post offices.
The project is a collaboration between Pos Malaysia Berhad and the Health Ministry in conjunction with the ministry’s Organ Donation Awareness Week running from Oct 16 to 24.
The ministry appointed Pos Malaysia as an agent to enable Malaysians to obtain donor registration forms at 19 post offices, and plans to extend the service to more post offices in the near future.
Pos Malaysia group managing director and chief executive officer Datuk Syed Faisal Albar said the outlets selected were general post offices (GPOs) and post offices in the Klang Valley with a high volume of customers.
Participating GPOs include Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam, Kuala Terengganu, Alor Setar and Kuching. The post offices in the Klang Valley include the ones in Medan Tuanku, Gombak, Bangsar, Kelana Jaya and Kampung Tunku.
“Currently, more than 147,092 people have pledged to donate their organs and we believe many more are willing to pledge,” said Faisal.
The organ donation registration forms are specially-made postcards with the organ donor pledge card attached.
Customers only need to fill the form and mail it with a 60 sen stamp to the National Transplant Resource Centre. They also need to keep the donor card.
three white with brown spots puppies for adoption
My neighbour received unwanted gifts today – three mongrel puppies. They are white with brown spots yet looking cute and beautiful. The mother is so sick that it could not feed any of these puppies. So they are left with my neighbour. It’s sad to say that if they are not adopted within these two days, they will be put to sleep permanently.
They are waiting for adoption in order to survive. Therefore, by having ones of these beautiful pupies within your family it is very likely that you saved a life. Not only are you saving their lives, but also you are adding a companion to your home that is sure to love you unconditionally for your kindness.
Hope these puppies can find a happy home. They are now in Ujong Pasir. If you are interested, please contact me o16-88o7877 (CJ) before tomorrow, 23rd October 2010.

grief (family of victim in bus crash)
It has come to the mid of another month, October. A month of a fresh start.
Observe constantly that all things take place by change. We prefer stasis to change thus change is often very stressful and painful. When change happens, and it does for sure, do not resist it but to go with it.
Days ago, a horrific bus crash happened along the North-South Highway between the border of Melaka and Negeri Sembilan. The death toll increased to thirteen and many are still suffered from severe injury. That night I was there at the Hospital Melaka to witness the traumatic loss and grief in family members. It was heartbreaking to see the tears of the victims’ family and friends.
Loss is an inevitable part of live. There is simply no escaping it. As the American Psychiatrist, M. Scott Peck wrote in his book:
Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult — once we truly understand and accept it — then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.
Our deepest condolences go out to all who have lost friends, loved ones, and acquaintances in the terrible accident occurring. Our hearts are with you all.
May all beings be happy. Share some shots taken in September and October:

Arenal National Park in Costa Rica. A new report has warned that humans are overusing the planet's resources
Human demands on natural resources have doubled in under 50 years and are now outstripping what the Earth can provide by more than half, a new report has warned.
And humanity carries on as it is in use of resources, globally it will need the capacity of two Earths by 2030, the biennial Living Planet Report said.
Wildlife in tropical countries is also under huge pressure, with populations of species falling by 60 per cent in three decades.
And the report, from the WWF, the Zoological Society of London and the Global Footprint Network, said British people are still consuming far more than the Earth can cope with.
If everyone lived such a lifestyle, humans would need 2.75 planets to survive, it warned.
The world’s people are now living lifestyles which would require one and a half planets to sustain, though there are significant differences between rich and poor nations.
The study’s authors looked at 8,000 populations of 2,500 species and studied the change in land use and water consumption across the globe.
The UK comes 31st in a list of countries based on their ‘ecological footprint’ – the amount of land and sea each person needs to provide the food, clothes and other products they consume and to absorb the carbon dioxide they emit.
The country has fallen down the league table from having the 15th biggest footprint in the last report two years ago, but WWF attributes this to an increase in other countries’ impact rather than a reduction in the UK’s use of resources.
