What a plaster can do!

LONDON, England - A school in eastern England was ordered to pay 19,000 pounds ($30,140) Monday after a 16-year-old girl lost nearly all her fingers when she put her hands in a bucket of plaster of Paris during an art lesson.

The teen-ager was attempting to make a sculpture of her own hands during a lesson in January 2007 when the accident happened, Boston Magistrates' Court in Lincolnshire heard.

The plaster set around her hands and neither staff nor paramedics could get it off during the lesson at Giles School, in Boston.

The court was told that temperatures up to 60C can be generated in large quantities of plaster and the girl, who was not named in court, suffered terrible burns.

After a series of 12 operations, she was left with no fingers on one hand and just two on the other.

The school's governing body admitted breaching health and safety regulations and also failing to report the incident to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Blog Action Day

A look back on this year environment event and news.

Early this year we have Earth hour where many of us switch our light in support of the climate changes @ global warming that has affected our earth.



In Malaysia many participate not only the large corporate group, celebrity but the individual who really concern about the climate change. For me personally, it surely open my eyes on how urgent we have to change to make sure we can survive & the future generation will be in safe condition.

A look back on the earth hour event:

This event really change how our crew think about the earth and be part of saving it is part of our mission.

Other than earth hour, we have participated in Honda environment campaign to save the Sumatran rhinos.



We're living in Borneo and this mammal is quite an endangered species. To have a large company as Honda to help out in Rhino conservation is a great thing.

So thank you to Honda for making such effort to make sure this endangered species still roam around in Borneo.

Early this year also, we've participated and promoted our beloved Sipadan Island as the 7th wonder of the world. We haven't been to sipadan but knowing how the island still there is fascinating. We know that Sipadan is like a mushroom.



It's a great island and hopefully we can be there to experience it ourselves.


Not forgetting among this campaign, one in particular that really many has participated was the DiGi Love to Save campaign.


We've supported the Borneo Trust on forest reservation to make sure that Sabah forest will be preserve. It's a great campaign since it's only need people to click to support the campaign and blogger can choose what the most important organization to support.

This year also, for sabahan, we've seen how our government concern the important of our forest and the effect of deforestation can do. They have committed in making 12 forest reservation through out Sabah.


Hopefully this kind of plan will help to minimize the deforestation that cause by logging industries.

It seem we covered many issue on environment but a lot can be done how to improve our environment for the sake of our future generation. Hopefully this Blog Action Day really can help to open the world eyes especially the leader to be more proactive in making sure our earth sustainable.



Thank you so much for those who have read this post and hopefully many will follow on conserving our environment. No matter what campaign you're supported, surely it's for better future generation.

Donkey for a zebra!!

GAZA, Palestine – Two white donkeys dyed with black stripes delighted Palestinian kids at a small Gaza zoo on Thursday who had never seen a zebra in the flesh.

With their long ears, drooping heads and sleepy eyes, the impostors probably would not have fooled the zoo's only lioness. But the effect achieved by the zoo owners' dye job looks not so bad -- to the unpracticed eye, and from a distance.

On closer inspection it resembles the classic striped convict suit of cartoon strips.

EPL: Manchester United vs Sunderland Highlights

Last night game was rather unexpected and one word to describe is disappointing. Many chances didn’t converted to goals and united is trailing behind Sunderland rather than take advantage at home play.

But of cause even though last night match was disappointing it surely great to the how the goals scored by united, both of them was spectacularly score by Berbatov & Evra. Above all, Ben Foster really need to get more confidence. I wonder where is Kusczak?

Tonight game between the other top team, Chelsea VS Liverpool surely going to be great, especially one of the winners of the game will be the EPL table leader.
