Life as a Negotiator

*I have the privilege of watching a movie for free in university some time last year. Is about negotiation (on life-death matters not those commercial). It was a great movie, the plot has it own twist in it. At the end of the movie, there is a guest speaker who will relate the movie content and the real-life experience. And here is some of the takeaway that I had. [p/s: Like my previous post, CSI is still one of my favorite drama series, so it is a no surprise that I enjoyed the session  :) ]*.

When negotiating, bring up open-ended question and importantly, listen their statement without judging them. When dealing with this life and death matter, one will need to build up rapport with them, to generate the trust among the both of them. Some basic idea about negotiation:
   ·         Never make a promise
(   As at the end, the offender will discover the truth that you won’t be fulfilling his ultimate request, and loses the faith in you.
   ·         Never be ‘deceptive’
   ·         Build rapport

Who are involved in a negotiation?
It is usually the local police commander that liaises closely with the negotiator and the negotiator will keep close contact with the technical people. It is not encouraged to change negotiator as the first negotiator has already build the rapport with the offender. Whether the negotiation is make or break, it all boils down to the senior negotiator, as he or she is the one who call the shot and it often based on the negotiator experience and not the police.

What happens during negotiation?
The negotiator will adopt the container negotiation approach, where the taskforce will quarantine the public with the ‘crime scene’, so that the offender is isolated with the public to reduce any further stimulation.

When the negotiator arrived to the location, the commander will brief the negotiator before the negotiation commences. This is important for the negotiator to understand the background of the offender, so the negotiation can be themed around the heart of the issue. Like mentioned, it is crucial not to be judgemental, instead, be objective and independent, so that one emotionally connected to it and thus easier to conduct the negotiation.

Meanwhile, negotiator will communicate with the commander or with psychologist if necessary using written notes to avoid communication disruption with the offender.

Who can be a negotiator?
Negotiator is usually a detective or a sergeant, one need to be on call so that they could head to the location directly. They are usually in their causal wear, able to keep calm and not rushing as these create pressure on the offender.

Since negotiator is a high stress level job, it usually comes in part time position and in rotation basis.

What it takes to be a good negotiator?
   ·         Communication skills is a must
   ·         Tolerance
   ·         Empathy
   ·         Patience (Especially you might need to talk to them for 14 hours straight or more)

It is not necessary to have a tertiary education to be want as negotiator needs more soft skills than the technical knowledge. Yet, various policing experience will be of great help during negotiation as one have witness all kinds of humanity from the best to the worst.

How to be a negotiator?
The recruitment of negotiator usually will be announced through internal portal, and you will need to go through 3 weeks training. You also will go through medical and work history check, and also any complaints filed against you. It is also vital for you to understand the your stress management capability.

NSW has this policy of not having force entry during the invasion. At the moment, NSW has done a great job for not having death in custody.

It is never easy to be a negotiator as ethics always come into place.  One has to always be remembered to never expense anyone, if forced to, do the greatest good for greatest number of people.

#93 Appreciation: Tears

I never thought of tears as something to appreciate. Never thought of it.

But recently, I have bear too much of stress and pressure, my sense of responsibility took over my priorities in life, causing me to focus so much on the things that I held responsible to rather than what's important in my current stage of life.

I need a channel to release it, but not sure how. I have been grumbling/talking to friends, experiencing the crave for food etc... Nothing really help much. Until the time where I relaxed myself, watching a random dramas and variety shows, and I started tearing out of the blue. Is not that the shows are too funny or overly touching, I bet is just at that point of time, I am not that tense and all the tears and sweats that I held back was finally release...

#77 Appreciation: Stress

I have to make it sounds positive.

Stress. It is not good to have none, as one will be too complacent with their current state.
Stress. It is also not advisable to have too much, as one will be drain out of energy and enthusiasm.

I constantly stressing myself that there is a never-ending learning process in this world. There are so much more to be discover and to be learn from. I am conscious about people's perception which can be a good or a bad thing to be. From the good side, I will constantly seeking for improvement opportunity whereas it could an invisible stress being exerted on me since there is too much "noise" and it takes time to cope and breathe.

Dear me, remember to take care =)

#70 Appreciation: Comrades

We might not enjoy the same interests or the share the same character. We might not see each other often or we might not even friends of each other.

Despite of all these differences, what we have in common is the goal (from a macro level) that we want to achieve. Regard to these group of community, I referred them as my comrades.

Comrades are important as we shared the same vibe at the moment while we are doing what that bring us together. It could be a sports game, it could be a group initiative or anything. Comrades is beyond team members. The desire and the vibe from a comrades are much stronger because we rely on each other, we encourage each other, we understand each other and we share the same emotional experience. Is not easy to form a strong bond like the solders but I am grateful to have met with people that I regarded them as comrades, which I have enjoyed the journey to attain our aim, regardless of the results.

#56 Appreciation: Ethics

Ethics, a typical academic term... Yet, I cant find any word to make a replacement.

Ethics is different from moral, as the boundary of ethics is much more vague and debatable because the view of right and wrong is depending on the society and the outcome of it has much impact on the community.

I would be delighted if public view and act along with my opinion, but it doesn't mean that it is wrong or illegal if it is against. Talking about the recent issue that bothers me a lot is about unpaid work and underpaid wages. Being a newbie to the whole new career world, where the employment market is not as "bullish" as it suppose to be, thus higher labour supply. Company starts off with providing minimum pay, then decide to underpay the "employees" due to more labour supply and leads to now, providing a program where fresh grads need to pay to join the program just to secure an unpaid internship without guaranteeing future employment after 'internship'.

Is it legal for company (middle person) to initiate such program? Nope, is not illegal. In fact, is an entrepreneurial idea, entrepreneurs who saw and seized the opportunity. Yet, the fact where providing free labour to a company by charging the 'labour' a sum of fees... To me, is an oppressive act and it just merely taking advantage of fresh grads.

The message here is: despite how frustrated I am on a certain issue, the world couldnt be bother if this is not what being viewed by the society. If one morals aligned with the ethics, it would be less bothersome and much happier life one could live. Is either you change the world or you adapt with it or you get out from the zone.

#48 Appreciation: Letter

Saw a FB post today, about a teacher cried after receiving a letter from her student after she left the school (which located at a rural area)... A letter, is a fruit of thoughts and sincere appreciation.

In this modern era, letter is not perceived to have much value...because
1. It cost money - postage and evelope
2. It is slow
3. It is usually notification or bills
People today prefer to email, message and call - which all of these can be achieved much faster and obtained prompt reply when compared to a letter.

But with a letter, it shows affection, thought, effort, expression and more. It is a slower process (undeniable), at least we put in much more effort (even when we dont know how to spell a word, we will check the dictionary because we dont want the letter to reflect bad on us - due to spelling error). We 'decorate' the letter with picture, cursive writing, we are more expressive (as we can take our time to write down our feelings and thoughts.)

Is hard to receive a pure greeting letter, so ever since I am in my uni years, I start to collect all letter received by mail from friends. A delicate evidence of our friendship..once upon a time... (now only FB msg...)

暴饮暴食@。@

不禁在想,为什么我的体质和食欲是这样的呢~

很多人(至少在我认识的圈子里),他们压力的时候,都会没胃口用餐;我则完全相反。
压力的时候不但吃得多,而且还是不停地吃地哪一种!
吃的时候并不觉得很多,但看到垃圾桶不到一天就堆满巧克力的包装纸,罪恶感油然而生……

我承认获得老天爷的眷恋,拥有一副健康的体质。可惜自己却不断地糟蹋自己。我并不认为好是理所当然的,所以才会毫不在意。反而领悟到拥有这么一副好身体,就更应该珍惜,而非“磨损”他。可恨的是自己意志力薄弱,每次都纵容自己的‘自虐’!逐渐地体会到,身体不如前,现在开始慌了。

天哪!请赐我强大的意志力,让我自律!!

亲爱的我,别再放纵自己的私欲!请别伤害自己了!!

类似回光返照……

Choi~
童言无忌,话不可乱说~

看到这样的主题,母亲想必会这么说。

所以呀,我加了‘类似’两个字:)

何谓‘回光返照’:

  1. 由于日落时的光线反射,因而天空又短时间地发亮。 
  2. 也比喻人将死时神志忽然清醒或短暂的兴奋。
  3. 也比喻旧事物灭亡前表面上的短暂繁荣。 
  4. 谓自我省察。
目前,我介于第三点。有点相同却大有不同。
应该说我24小时未曾入眠,却不感到疲惫,反而感到精神奕奕,应该是属于精力竭尽的前兆。表面上短暂的“精神”。

凌晨一点离开酒馆,近两点乘搭巴士,近两点半出头回到家,却开启电脑下载综艺节目。下载的当儿,打开了文件档案,准备星期一的presentation,一做就到凌晨六点。下载完毕,心想都六点了,不如等日出?结果边看综艺节目边等。等呀等的,我房窗面向西南,背向东方,什么渐露鱼白肚,明媚的阳光,这种诗情画意的景象我看不到,只有天色逐渐从黑蓝边白蓝。逛了逛/晃了晃面子书,定一定机票,手提电话的‘闹钟’设定便响了……八点了呢~

早安哪各位!现在慢慢有了睡意~

过分

坦白吧,大家都说A洲多么好、多么妙、多么公平、多么看重人才等等。

“屁啦”!

总觉得他们很可笑。

公平竞争?人才?到头来还不是看你的国籍!
既然是这样不如直率些,在征人启示些就好了吗!为什么还要故作开明的雇主?
做作!笑面虎!

明知道这行确实是亚洲人居多,就趁这机会彻底利用我们这班人!
需要人手嘛,就说开放机会让学生“义务实习”(unpaid internship)。
有的甚至还说需要付‘参与费’(participation fees)。
明知道这科系的学生想要工作经验的太多了,就利用这点尽情的“使用”免费帮手好让公司省一笔开销!!!

“有internship经验也不错啊,也算是工作经验呀。”
对呀,问题是他们(指正式要征聘正式员工的公司)大部分都不视internship为正式的工作经验啊!移民局也不视internship为正式的工作经验!那他们在这里“大发善心”给这科系学生“实习的机会”,只是个荒唐的招牌。

要知道来到这边求学,汇率就不知亏了多少,血汗钱花的都是上万的。难道就不能公公平平地对待吗?出人力不要紧,还要亏交通费,而且交通费贵得要命!又不能享有本地学生的特价。有的还要我们付费来实习!过分啦!!!!!

不是我在乱说一场,我做Assignment时,看过一篇2009年的research paper:

‘Racial biases in recruitment by accounting firms: The case of international Chinese applicants in Australia’就能证实了A洲在聘请这A门科系时候真的有歧视啦!!混账!

中国朋友都说我们英文比他们好,所以有优势。屁啦!我不是中国来的,可是我还是华人啊!因为名字的关系,都没机会面试,他们哪知道你英文好不好?我从来没试,寄出近50份的履历表,一个都没回复!吐血!

"A success story such as that of Vivian Tse indicates clearly that, however unfair it may seem, luck and “being in the right place at the right time” are extremely important determinants of future success.

--看人才?看屁啦!--

我的运气及时到啊~~~

窘囧啦~

一身專業的打扮,就為了展現出自信的一面,希望在presentation過程中留下深刻的印象,冀望能扭轉乾坤,改變那門科的“慘績”。
只有三層階級,一步一步……
讓我終於體會到了電視劇裡那停格+慢動作的氣氛~ 

“啪~~~~~~”

是“啪~~~~~~”哦,不是“啪!”哦!
我並沒有直接趴倒,應該是絆倒了,彷彿背部有股衝力,整個人就這樣……
在40-50人的面前,臉朝下地往前撲去,停留在講台前……

欲哭無淚啊!每個人問我ok不?總不能答不OK 吧~
“呵呵,okok,沒事沒事~”
日子還要過,presentation 還得繼續。
從來沒有身處於這般的窘境!丟臉‘屎’了!站起來,膝蓋隱隱作痛,還是得咬住嘴唇,淡定地將presentation完成。 從來沒有這麼出糗過!糗斃了!!(不知道會不會有同情分?)
雖然撲在地毯上,隔著了絲襪,我的膝蓋還是難逃一劫。再加上前一陣子扭傷的右腳踝還沒完全康復,這一撲,還真的是雪上加霜!天真地想“搞不好這一趴,能將我之前扭傷的腳踝給‘矯正’過來呢?” (事實證明,惡化了。)

畢業言


畢業了!
有點不可思議!是有點矛盾的感覺。
感到開心嗎?也還好。畢竟還在求學當中,能夠深切地體會到畢業的興奮感的人,應該非正工作的朋友莫屬。朝九晚五的工作真的讓人覺得疲憊不堪。也正因為自己曾經在公司實習過,箇中滋味我深能體會。為了五斗米折腰,大家還得忍聲吞氣。雖然他們才步入社會大學短短的幾個月,大部分的人都已經開始了解到工作的辛酸和求學的樂趣。

這個世界就是那麼地現實。當然,除非你的興趣和工作息息相關,而你也享受其中,那麼就真的是毫無遺憾了!這種職業應該不多,比如當歌星?雖然都一樣都會遇到瓶頸的時候,但一旦想起對歌唱的熱忱,或許就會更有動力繼續下去了!

無論如何,看著手上的Graduate Ticket,還是有那種很夢幻的感覺。想想之前到親戚的家時,都會看到他們的桌上、牆上、電視機旁都會擺放自己兒女畢業照和全家合照。可是當自己正經歷那個過程,卻有點不踏實。從上台‘戰戰兢兢’地領證書,然後忙碌地四處和朋友合照,在到拍全家照。腳步輕盈,彷彿踩在棉花上,軟軟的,站不穩。也不知道自己是怎樣過,總之那天就在模模糊糊的情況下留在記憶當中。


噢,有一點印象挺深刻的!畢竟辦法證書是個端莊正經的過程,而某個VIP卻受不了這冗長的‘半天’,竟然在我大會司儀念出我的名字時(我領證書的時刻),在我面前大辣辣地打哈欠!=.=

混帳的威脅

受不了那種強勢的手段!覺得那是一班無可救藥的混蛋!
因為喜歡某種球類運動項目的我,參與那個練習時間,除了運動,主要還是要享受其過程。
可是就因為大學的體育社舉辦了某個運動員的激勵講座會,我們就必須出席。
即使有課,也要我們曠課,然後時候補交一封"批准信"。
不好意思,注重學業的我壓根兒都不想曠課!要知道有些科目非需要老師的講解才能事半功倍。

重點來啦:
如果你們沒有出席這講座,那麼以後就不用來練習了!
別想拿上課當藉口,因為體育社的主管可進入系統看你的時間表!

拜託,這是什麼樣的威脅啊?什麼樣的私隱權啊?

都大三了,我也都不奢望能進入什麼什麼比賽,代表大學等等,我只不過想享受打球的過程,還有多做運動罷了,卻還得受這些牽制??

好一個大學!!好樣的!!!

生活重心

给白目的你,

万一你不知道...
我目前的生活重心是把自己的生活打理(整理)好,然后随着自己的喜好享受我原有的写意。以我为中心。
请勿将我的忠言当逆耳,然后再来用同样的问题骚扰我,浪费我的时间。
你或许有很多时间去硬闯没必要的墙壁,但请体谅我没有那么多美国的时间陪你应酬你。

谢谢。

唉,谷歌了那個肝臟問題,發現其中一個預兆是時常感到疲倦,難怪去年下半年老是提不起勁兒。愛睡哩~~~

可是都大三了,最後一年了,是時候放下那些需要花上許多精神精力的課外活動,做些自己喜歡的東西,何嘗不是一種好好享受自己最後一年悠閒的求學生涯??

喜歡當家裡浴室的舞蹈員,我喜歡跟著拍子亂跳一同。平時也不敢奢望要加入舞蹈學會,畢竟表演的人都是精通舞藝的高手,自己一點也不通。而且有些舞步是需要partner 的,自己身材卻不夠苗條,哪敢加入?萬一拍檔抱不起,豈不是笑掉大牙?

這會兒一時的衝動讓我第一次參加大學舞蹈學會。沒有大鏡子的學校,只能藉由玻璃門的反光來跳!(大門位於走廊哦!是進出大學的唯一通路)一大班,半桶水或是無水純塑料桶,雞手鴨腳地一起跳,還蠻過癮的XD 哈哈!!可能在大眾的目光下,自己還是會有點放不開,硬硬的怪怪的=.= 不過這也算是一種體驗 :) 可惜只能出席一次,之後的練習時間,湊合不來>.< 沒緣分哪~

可是我不得不佩服這個芭蕾男生(華人哦!在國際舞台~厲害!Alex!),跳起嘻哈舞來,還真的是……
一級棒!!
分享一下下!!


或是較清楚的版本(他們不讓我share啦!!):

瓶頸

 那時是凌晨十二點半。因為週一至週四都忙的沒時間真正的上網消遣,所以在多麼累的星期五晚上,我都會撐著眼皮,慢慢地從Facebook消耗大部分的時間,從下到上,看過每個notification。有個朋友在她的status tag了我,說成績出爐了!

雙擊進入大學的個人網頁,看著成績公佈的畫面,心就是從平靜到心淡。

其實過去的一個學期,我就是有種考不好的預感。因為那整個學期,我就是專注不了一件事情,懶懶散散地,總是提不起勁。除了將腦袋放空,還是將腦袋放空,什麼都不想去理會。不會期待或對事情感到興奮,也沒有一件事情值得我期待還是興奮。應驗了。算了總平均,再查查夢寐以求公司的入門條件,發現之前僅僅符合條件的我,現在的成績被拉下條件之下。我慌了。

唉~覺得我虛度了那半年的光陰。

後來跟朋友在msn聊起成績,她得知我的成績,也說“其實我和XX也覺得你在那學期有點‘不正常’。”“‘不正常’??”“就是不像平常的你啊!好像很壓力,然後做事情都是最後一分鐘。就覺得怪怪的。”“那麼明顯嗎?呵呵~×擔心×”“別擔心太多,我相信這是人生必須經過的低潮期,我在這里工作後更加體會到這所謂的低潮。”

Hmmm…

所以我想啊,上個學期就是我目前的瓶頸。在這2011年裡,希望我能夠從新出發,跟自己拼了!在碩士課程的最後一年,快快搶救自己的學業!×嗯×

感兴趣


漫长的考试危险期终于完毕,“呼~~”长长地吐气~ “呼~~”

明白是一回事,体验到有所感触是另一回事。
这学期的考试,挣扎地过完,等的就是两个月后的判决。
再看一看自己下学期的课程,我只能不停的流汗……

一切是那么地复杂艰难。


考完试才不到一个星期,下星期却要“开工”……唉~没得休息。

回头想想现在的自己,其实和草莓族没什么两样,只是没那么明显。
成绩还ok,生活不会lala,所以草莓的个性好好地隐藏在“有前途”的表面下。

虽说现在我读的是会计金融,讽刺的是我从来没对商业圈产生兴趣,更不知道现在商业上时发生什么事情。哪个CEO管理有方?哪个股票值得投资?哪个公司出名什么品牌?我不知道。

那就说兴趣吧。我说我喜欢写,喜欢创作,可是基本的部落都不能常更新。今年更扯,一片文章都没着落。最欣赏的作者是谁?哪个作者常写的主题是什么?什么手法写的?所谓的兴趣有会不会只是口头上的坚持?我质疑。

霍然发现,自己真的一无是处,全部都是半桶水。Jack of all trade, king of none. 就因为这样,我发现歌迷影迷们都比我好很多。至少他们对他们崇拜的偶像了如指掌。而我却对我的兴趣、前途、工作,雾里看花、迷茫。

所以神哪,请让我感兴趣,让我在一个我应该感兴趣的领域去感兴趣好不好~~
还是有谁能够给些好建议呢?唉~

EPL

很久没有好好地去欣赏一部好的电影。乘着它还没下映前四天,终于×庆幸×地赶上这部影片《Eat Pray Love》。由于这部电影的档期接近尾声,上映的时间都是在旁晚,在家里大闹一番,终于争取得机会。可是买了票以后(RM14),有点后悔了,想想,买DVD还可以翻看>.< 结果看了以后,决定明天买原版的书。决定是一回事,买到和读到却是另一回事。

如果你是期待激情绵绵的情节,或是介绍美食经典,还是高潮迭起,那么你还是别看。就像我老弟,进去以后一直吵这要睡觉=.=

我想我会‘坚持’要去看这部影片是因为她的心境和我一样吧,茫然、迷茫、灰色、寻找。所谓的在人生的十字路口上,就是这样吧。这部电影内容是说女主角因为一段失败的婚姻而发觉早已迷失了自我。惊觉失去了对生活热情的惶恐之下,她决定抛开一切,往三个国家找回自我。

到意大利,认识了一班很友善的朋友,发掘当地美食。
》触动我的一段文字含义‘我们都害怕失去彼此,就会因迷失而摧毁自己。其实摧毁并不一定是件坏事。因为摧毁,我们才能重建,才能改变’。
》这一段是来形容女主和男友的感情。


到印度禅学,在一片寂静中冥想。
》‘如果真的想要自己人生的主导权,那么首先要做的是学会控制自己的思想’‘与其等待着别人的原谅,不如先自我原谅,很多事情不是我们能够控制的,又何苦自责而无法前进呢?’
》这一段是有关女主和前夫的感情。感情已逝,女主因提出离婚而觉得愧对前夫,因为前夫依然深爱着她。(看了这段,有股冲动想一个星期不说话来聆听。呵呵)


最后回到巴里,和淳朴的村民有了深厚的感情,像家人一样。
帮助别人的同时,也是在帮助自己’‘有时对自己的不平衡,其实就是人生的平衡’‘如果能将人生过去的经历作为生命中的理所当然,那么我们就能站起来,继续向前进’
》由于之前的情伤与迷失,女主不愿再度陷入感情世界,即使她喜欢男主。后来巫师“ketut”的点醒,才用于踏出那一步。

孤兒與我

在象牙塔裡已有三年之久。在第一年的foundation year,就已經接觸到孤兒了。坦白說,我第一次探訪他們時並不是自願,而是在課外活動中,我負責的Project 是需要帶義工到孤兒院裡教學,才會接觸到孤兒院。後來為了moral project,需要我們一組四人做義工,所以我才回到孤兒院。

別對我有所誤會,之前我不去孤兒院並不是對他們有所排擠,而是我到哪裡,也幫不了什麼。要教書嗎?哪裡離我家又遠,交通不方便,況且他們也有當義工的補習老師,我也不想多此一舉。托那個課外活動的Project的福,我在長期的接觸下,對他們有了更深一層的了解,也相當於對他們多了一份憐憫。

這個在Taman Megah 的孤兒,被不是全部都是無父無母。有的雙親或是其中之一已經逝世,有的因為家境說逼,“被寄放”在這裡。當中,有的被父母拋棄,當著他們面前說再見的那種。試想想,如果你的父母親在你的面前說不能再撫養你,身為長子女的你必須帶著自己兩三個弟妹到孤兒院去,那是多麼的辛酸。其中一個就是一下這個女生。帶著兩個妹妹留在孤兒院。她曾經透露自己很想念母親,還會哼起母親為他們唱的催眠曲。她是個很懂事的女孩,學業上付出的心思不必一般人少,自己也很上進,我心疼著女孩。認識這女孩的時候,她才五年級,卻必須經歷這種分離~


轉眼間,認識他們已有三年了,久違的他們,對我來說彷彿瞬間長大!也就是因為有了一連串的接觸,不少相處的日子,漸漸地對著孩子們產生了憐憫之心。這種感覺的產生和平常知道應該要同情他們的感覺是完全不一樣的。和他們相處的同時,我徹底地感受到我是多麼的幸福。在三餐溫飽的家境出世,雖然和弟弟常常搞到家裡雞犬不寧,但比起他們,我真的真的很慶幸。

與其說同情,我想我比較心疼他們的遭遇和替他們感到惋惜。其實在這些孩子當中,不乏和普通家庭孩子的才能可拼。他們有幾個是有舞蹈天資的小孩,有的對電腦設計(圖案)很有一套,也有的對設計機械等等的很感興趣。以下這個機器人就是由五個小孩利用環保物料設計出來的!


其他小孩,排隊去吃午餐!左邊第三個的Hendri可是武林高手哦!

中四中五的學生和我及友人照相!

Taman Megah 這裡不但是孤兒所也是收留天生智障的小孩。以下這兩個就是在心智上和視覺上的障礙。既然一場來到,也不妨和他們玩樂一會兒。

我個人很喜歡這張照片,這是在霎那間所拍攝到的。那笑容很真,很自然,很純真的歡樂。

書展的書


這篇呢雖說是有關書展的書,但能說的也不多。時間有限,只能走馬看花。再加上自己的錢包……忘了帶,更是沒有那個“癮”>.<

偶然發現這本書,純粹是喜歡它的包裝。不只是封面而是整本書的package. 很有航空郵件的感覺。


至於這本呢,大家應該彼為熟悉才是。畢竟是上過報章,出過風頭的一本書,所以還蠻受到大家的回應。在大略翻看這本書的我,在好奇心的驅使下,想找找有沒有涉及到馬來西亞。相信很多人的反應是一樣“不可能!”站在我對面的男生也這麼問她的女伴。結果女伴說“絕對不可能!”一掃而過。

嘿嘿,可是我卻這面,擺在我和那個男生的面前!!別說不可能吧!大馬畢竟已熱帶雨林為名,以旅遊業賺錢,那麼多多少少都有值得觀光的自然環境吧。還好只有sulu-sulawesi 實在名單裡(珊瑚受損),證明:
(一)大馬旅遊部有好好保護自然環境,所以受損的地方不多 
(二)大馬旅遊部有沒有保護自然環境,所以剩下這個地方還沒卻即將消失
(三)大馬除了這個自然環境,沒有其他值得一提
我比較想要相信(一)吧~

放大的字幕請點擊。

至於我去年當志工的地方,也是“危險區之一”雖然不是直接標上名(塭子/佳冬)但林邊確實佳冬的隔鄰。所以危險度是一樣的!!主要是因為過於開發地吧,然後溫室效應多多少少也有影響。


時間和金錢是關鍵。最後的收穫,在城邦-》

幸虧城邦有我的記錄,我才能享有會員折扣!×Phew~飙汗×結果就買下了這三本。第一本是有關鯨魚和環境對人類作出的警告。再來是跨國的友情,真人真事,前者在戰爭的國家,還在暗殺的名單上,後者則替她逃亡。最後一本是有關一個熱愛化學的小孩,在花園裡發現父親的屍體,進而變成小偵探追查父親的死因……呵呵,很廣泛的內容……

書展!兩個月後本人在重現江湖!
