Happy Birthday to Vince Carlo and Jerome Neo
In regards to the 2008 milk scandal in mainland China, he Intermediate People's Court in Shijiazhuang sentenced Sanlu employees Zhang Yujun and Geng Jinping to death, Tian Wenhua to life in prison, on 22 January 2009. Zhang was convicted for producing 800 tons of contaminated powder, Geng for producing and selling toxic food. The China Daily reported Geng had knelt on the courtroom floor and begged the victim's families for forgiveness during the trial. The court also sentenced Sanlu deputy general managers Wang Yuliang and Hang Zhiqi to fifteen years and eight years in jail respectively, former manager Wu Jusheng to five years.
I'm not exactly good with words, and I also partly fear that I may offend anyone in general... but the only thing I can say is that it's only right for Zhang Yujun and Geng Jinpeng to bear full responsibility for the deaths of many kids and get the death sentence for the distribution of contaminated powder and toxic food. Then again, who would have expected such things to happen? Life is just so unpredictable...

I am personally horrified by the latest murder case in Virginia Tech University, the very site that saw 32 people gunned down in 2007 by Korean student Cho Seung Hui who later shot himself after the massacre. This time round, it involved a male Chinese national named Zhu Haiyang killing a fellow student named Yang Xin and (gasp!!) cutting off the poor girl's head!! In fact, the sick and demented fella who had been suffering from depression and extreme frustration following stock losses and other problems could only think about either killing someone or committing suicide. And who knew then that Yang Xin, who arrived in VT the very next day after Zhu had published that disturbing blog entry, would eventually become hie ultimate target? And she had only been in the unviersity for about 2 weeks... this Zhu HY is inuman to kill an innocent girl under such graphic cicrumstances... :-(

And this piece of news is really sad... a Brazillian model named Mariana Bridi lost the fight for her life after having her hands and feet amputated as well as part of her stomach due to a deadly infection she sustained just last month. And to think that she was only 20 years old... may she rest in peace, and may God watch over her grieving family. :-(
She died on the morning of January 24, 2009, in a hospital in Espírito Santo as a result of complications of from necrotic septicemia resulting from the original infection. The cause of death according to the hospital certificate was a severe sepsis, urinary infection and abdominal bleeding which led to the failure of multiple organs. Due for its rarity and public commotion, the Mariana case also attracted a great deal of attention from international press, not just from the world. Her funeral was attended by more than 1000 people.
