He always complaint that Anne is very noisy (running footsteps of her). I do not think that she is noisy, OK? May be some times when Anne running in the room does cause some "ping-pong-ping-pong" noise, but it's in the afternoon, for a very short period! How does HE wants me to control my girl? Tie her up and not allow her to walk around? STUPID! I will get Anne ready to bed by 8:30pm. Means, we will be in the room by 8:00am, reading books or sing together. So, by 8:00pm we will be very quiet already! What's more he wants? And, I always warn Anne to walk slowly now. How loud can be a toddler's footsteps? We almost very expert in "qing gong" already!
Yesterday we were so angry with this fellow. It's Monument Open Day, so, we were not at home most of the time. Even when we were at home, Anne was sleeping, I am cooking, Loong is surfing net. Then at 7:30pm, he came and told us that he is going to complaint to the housing agent that we were noisy! What the HELLLL! Yesterday we seldom WALK in the room, you know? The time he knocked our door, we were eating oranges on the floor, not even walking in the room, how can we be noisy? He has dog's ear is it??
Anyway, a Malaysia who is his coursemate told us that he is a complaint king! So, we are unlucky to stay upstairs of his room! He need a super-duper quiet room. He cannot stands any noise (NO, I don't think we are noisy!). The problem is on HIM, not US!
Go lah... go complaint lah! We will tell the truth. We are not in the wrong position! Duh~
Can't believe that we actually enter so many places in 2.5 hours.
It's not easy to get watercrest here. We only can get it from Hua Nam Hang in Rotterdam. Luckily this shop is very near to our church in Rotterdam, so normally we will go to this shop after our Sunday service. We have to wait at the main door for the shop open at 12:oopm every sunday (Sunday service ended 11:30am)!

故事大纲：
宝鹏举（黄文永饰演）早年丧妻，他独自抚养4个孩子-- 宝文精（郑斌辉饰演）、宝文忠（王禄江饰演）、宝文卫（芮恩饰演）。宝文卫是宝家老三，也是唯一的女孩子。 宝鹏举是个职业军人，他在教育孩子时，也采用了军中的一套方法，以“军法统治”管理家里的一切大小事务，就算对女儿也一样，让宝文卫无所适从。
大儿子宝文精（郑斌辉饰演）是突击部队上尉（Captain），也是宝鹏举最大的骄傲。宝文精足智多谋、身手不凡，在军中极受重视。 宝文精高大威猛，深得女生欢迎。平时自信满满的宝文精一旦接触到心仪的对象，脑袋会突然变得一片空白，扮酷来掩饰自己的尴尬，这个“毛病”让他一直交不到女友。
二哥宝文忠（王禄江饰演）是电脑工程师，也是活跃的战备军人，更是家中的和事佬，众人的“心理医生”。 文忠生性随和，幽默风趣，非常受到女性欢迎，但对爱情充满理想的他，却迟迟没交女友，只因他相信还没遇到他生命中的“唯一”。
小弟宝文国（鹤天赐饰演）刚从理工学院毕业，即将服役当兵。为了帮文国做好服役的准备，鹏举一天到晚逼着文国训练体能，让他烦不胜烦；加上鹏举总喜欢拿他跟两个出色的哥哥比较，让他对当兵更是反感。文国甚至为了想逃兵役而装病，但他的这些伎俩却轻易被识破，结果换来的是鹏举的一顿打骂。 入伍后，文国发现父亲的训练，让他在接受军训时，比其他的新兵来得得心应手。在当兵的过程中，文国渐渐了解到服役的意义，并明白了团结与责任的重要性，心智渐渐成熟。
刘亚妹（洪慧芳饰演）跟鹏举是军中同事，亚妹多年来一直暗恋着对方，对宝家四兄妹也照顾有加，经常出入宝家，打点一切，俨然是宝家女主人。亚妹多次被家人安排相亲，有碰过条件不错的对象，但亚妹总会吹毛求疵，嫌弃对方，只因心里一直等待着鹏举。 宝家四兄妹也深知亚妹的心意，想方设法撮合两人。鹏举其实也明白亚妹的心思，但他对亡妻仍是念念不忘，所以始终没有接受这份感情。
Picasso（方展发饰演）是广告公司新来的美术总监，被安排与文卫合作。又吝啬又我行我素的Picasso一开始便和文卫犹如贴错门神般，时常为了小事而起争执。巧合的是Picasso回营受训时，竟然又碰到了鹏举。 鹏举对Picasso印象本来不佳，后来Picasso在危急中解救了同僚，鹏举才对他另眼相看。
文卫在为广告做资料收集的过程中，结识了女军官欧阳佩佩（陈凤玲饰演）。在与佩佩接触的过程中，文卫更发现原来佩佩和她家的两个哥哥极有渊源：文精和佩佩因参加军部的训练而结识；文忠和佩佩则是中学同学。 女人味十足的佩佩是许多男性的梦中情人，文精就是其中一个拜倒在她石榴裙下的男子。文精虽想追求佩佩，无奈一接近佩佩，到口的话都忘了，就只能继续扮酷，佩佩对文精的印象因此大打折扣。 其实佩佩的心早有所属，而此人正是文忠。外柔内刚的佩佩在学校时，就已经仰慕文忠，但可惜文忠一直都只把她当作好友。好胜心强的佩佩不肯放弃，相信只要坚持下去，文忠总有一天会接受她的。
文忠因误会而结识了来自邻国的梁小诺（姚懿珊饰演）。文忠对长短脚但内心坚强的小诺心生好感，认定小诺就是自己长久以来在寻找的“唯一”。 文忠积极追求小诺，小诺虽被文忠的诚意感动，却一直对自己害死了前男友无法释怀，加上自卑心作祟，所以一直没法接受新恋情。后来，文忠奋不顾身救了小诺。小诺终于被感动，接受了文忠的爱意。 保守的鹏举不能接受儿子竟然喜欢上一个身体残缺的女人，坚决反对两人来往，并和文忠产生了前所未有的矛盾。鹏举后来在亚妹的劝解下，偷偷去调查了小诺，了解到小诺是个善解人意的好女孩，终卸下成见，成全了小俩口。 佩佩知道自己竟然败给小诺，让一向自信满满的她，承受极大的打击，变得一蹶不振，自暴自弃。文精看在眼里，极为心痛，在旁默默支持她。佩佩才恍然大悟最关心自己的是文精，感动之际，了解到被爱比爱人幸福，欣然接受了文精的爱意。
文精在练跆拳道时，碰见了身手同样了得的巫成义，还发现对方原来是自己的小学同学。成义是个自由摄影师，长年在第三世界国家工作。 在一次文卫负责的广告拍摄，文卫聘请的摄影师因食物敏感，而临阵退出。成义见义勇为，代替了摄影师，让文卫感激，更让她对这个才华横溢，又带有神秘气质的男人有了好感。 成义知道文卫喜欢自己，但是碍于自己身负重任，一直不愿意接受文卫。一次意外，文卫误以为成义命丧黄泉，真情流露，让成义十分感动，终于接受了文卫的感情。
文卫和Picasso在合作的过程，从开始的互相厌恶，到后来发现彼此的优点。Picasso更不知不觉地对这善良可爱的女孩产生了情愫，凡事迁就她，可是粗枝大叶的文卫完全不知不觉。 Picasso之前在军中原是一名爆破专家，和一起共事的Ben是好兄弟。一次，Picasso和Ben遇到有人被劫匪抢劫，出手相助。不料在追捕劫匪的过程中，Ben为了救Picasso，不幸跌下楼梯，导致Ben下半身瘫痪，并且变得自暴自弃，甚至连妻儿都被他赶走。 这秘密无意间让文卫发现，了解其实Picasso吝啬是为了帮Ben。文卫渐渐对Picasso改观，对他产生了前所未有的感觉；而与此同时，文卫却发现成义对自己有所保留，常常不知所踪，两人之间的距离似乎越来越远。 Picasso虽喜欢文卫，可是成义的存在，却让他对文卫的感情裹足不前，于是毅然决定忍痛放弃，到国外工作。临走的前一晚，两人其实心里都有话要说，但始终没说出。文卫经过一夜思考，明白自己喜欢的是Picasso，于是第二天，赶到机场追回Picasso，奈何两人错过。文卫伤心吃着雪糕时，Picasso却突然出现，表示不想留下遗憾，并向文卫表白心意，文卫欣然接受。
文卫到成义家，向成义说清楚与Picasso的事，不料却发现成义的秘密，反被成义和同党挟持，当为人质。 原来成义这次来新加坡的目的就是要解救被判了死刑的大哥。成义曾经几次放置炸弹威胁政府放了他大哥，但政府却不肯妥协。成义和同党于是决定铤而走险，挟持了一间幼儿园的老师和孩子，威胁政府释放在牢狱里的大哥。
Picasso发现文卫被成义抓走，发狂似的四处找她。在已经无计可施之下，Picasso想起曾经在幼儿园碰到成义，于是和文精一起到幼儿园，希望得到一些线索，正巧碰到成义和同党闯进幼儿园。在一番打斗之后，文精和Picasso成功地制服了成义和他的同党，拯救了幼儿园里的老师和孩子。 Picasso在成义的引导之下，找到了文卫，却发现文卫身上绑了计时炸弹。Picasso一时间无法解开，而接近引爆的时间却越来越近…
结局当然是大团圆啦！看后发现有一点爱上王禄江饰演的宝文忠。以前我还在JB读书时，王禄江都是演一些三八又搞笑的角色。这部剧让我对他另眼相看！
We seldom eat outside food. Main reason is, because it is expensive. If I opted to cook our dinner, each meal I think I only need €5.00 for a complete meal which include rice, 1 vege, 1 meat or even 1 soup. Anyway, since it was my birthday that day, I did not want to cook. We went our for our first self-paid western food in Netherlands.
We choose this Billy Beer Restaurant after reading some good review from GoGoDutch.com. Main reason also because this is a children friendly restaurant, as indicated by some of the reviewer.
Loong's Mixed fish platter:
Our bill came together with there sweets! :-) The food just normal, but Anne enjoyed eating french fried that normally I would not allow her to eat so much!
Gearóid Lane, Managing Director British Gas New Energy said,”Our new tariff responds to consumer demand for truly green energy solutions. It is essential that customers have confidence in green energy tariffs and that their credibility is not damaged by tariffs that claim to be green but in reality do not deliver any incremental environmental benefits. Green tariffs are moving from niche to mainstream products and we’re leading the industry by offering a tariff that will do more for the environment than any other product currently available.”
Under the government’s Renewables Obligation (RO), electricity suppliers in the UK are already required to produce an increasing percentage of their electricity through methods such as wind farms which, unlike traditional power plants, produce zero carbon emissions. For 2007/2008 this figure is set at 7.9%.
In a recent report, the National Consumer Council (NCC) raised concerns that some energy suppliers are packaging electricity which is produced under the RO scheme as “green”, yet it delivers no additional environmental benefits. The NCC called on energy suppliers to take steps beyond their legal requirements and offer green energy tariffs that provide genuine additional environmental benefits, in particular CO2 emissions reduction.
British Gas worked with Global Action Plan and The Climate Group’s “We’re in this Together” campaign to develop Zero Carbon which goes further than any other green tariff in meeting these requirements offering consumers the only zero carbon option on the market.
The tariff carries a premium of £84 per year, reflecting the higher cost of producing energy through lower carbon emission schemes.
Virginia Graham, Chair of Global Action Plan, said, “The British Gas Zero Carbon tariff delivers on all three of the essential requirements of a green tariff which are: additionality, transparency and verifiability. As such it is a very welcome new offering in the market. Consumers signing up to the tariff can be confident that they are getting 12 per cent more renewable energy than they would otherwise have got. The carbon emissions from their electricity and gas will also be offset with emissions reductions from projects accredited by the United Nations.”
Zero Carbon is one of the first initiatives launched through the ‘We’re in this Together’ campaign, which was launched in April 07 as an alliance of some of the UK’s biggest brands who are all working to help their customers reduce their impact on the climate.
Dr Steve Howard, CEO of The Climate Group and founder of ‘We’re in this Together’ said, “We’re committed to offering people ways to make a real impact on climate change through Together.com. We’ve worked with British Gas to ensure that Zero Carbon is a genuine step forward in delivering more environmental benefits than any other tariff currently available.”
British Gas’s second green energy tariff, Future Energy, offers an alternative green electricity tariff at a premium of just £20 per year. Customers signing up to this tariff will contribute to a green fund which will provide solar panels and other renewable energy technologies to UK schools. Money from the fund will also be invested in development of future renewable technologies and sources.

BP as the world's current and historical energy trends is always committed to minimizing the environmental impact of their actions. BP oil refinery produces 410,000 barrels per calendar day stand as the top five U.S refineries operable capacity was reported for going to dump significantly more ammonia and industrial sludge into Lake Michigan, running counter to years of efforts to clean up the Great Lakes.
Recently, the Chicago Tribune ran an article about a BP Factory in Whiting, Indiana and misrepresented some important facts. According to Chicago Tribune article, the massive BP oil refinery in Whiting, Indiana, is planning to dump significantly more ammonia and industrial sludge into Lake Michigan. They claim that Indiana regulators exempted BP from state environmental laws to clear the way for a $3.8 billion expansion that will allow the company to refine heavier Canadian crude oil. They justified the move in part by noting the project will create 80 new jobs.
What's BP's explanation to the misrepresented points post up by Chicago Tribune? To understand more about BP's Whiting Refinery facts, you can read the article here. From the document, we know that what is released from BP's refinery is treated water that is more than 99.9% water - not sludge. All sludge is treated separately, according to state and federal requirements, and never discharged into Lake Michigan. Besides that, a new water discharge permit allows the refinery's average ammonia discharge to increase, but at levels that will still be less than half of those that federal environmental guidelines could allow. Most impotantly is all treated water released has no harm to people or the environment. For the benefit of the environment, the Whiting Refinery voluntarily reduced total suspended solids in its water discharge by 40% in just the past four years.
From the economy points of view, to reduce reliance on sources in Middle East, BP at the same time focuses her investment in Canadian crude oil in order to sustain her business for longer time. BP definitely would not ruin her businesses. Therefore, they have aggressively markets itself as an environmentally friendly corporation by extracting petroleum from the thick goop is a dirtier process than conventional methods. It also requires more energy that could significantly increase greenhouse gases linked to global warming. I will think as such move has given quite good credits to BP.
To me, both parties should have corporation in handling as such environmental issues in order to ensure safety of any natures (aquatic life as well as human beings) are given first priority. Without granting any approval, BP would not act beyond the legal limits.
