  <description>&lt;span class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&apos;Yes, I&apos;m committing suicide and I&apos;ve my reasons. Delete this email immediately if you&apos;re not interested or do not care about me at all.&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He then went on to say that he had had enough of his &apos;miserable life&apos;, having lived most of it &apos;in sorrow and suffering&apos;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&apos;I live in a not normal family. My mother likes to control everything in my life (and also my brother and father),&apos; he wrote.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&apos;But even now, she still treats me as a child and somehow that irritates me.&apos;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The writer described his father as a &apos;very kind person&apos; who never complained or blamed others although their financial situation was not good.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&apos;But too bad my mother often pressurises him, which often causes quarrel between them,&apos; he wrote.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&apos;Do you know how it feels to watch your own family shouting at each other almost every day when you were still a child?&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The writer said that his &apos;unstable emotion&apos; could have been formed because of this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He also had this to say about his brother: &apos;Sometimes he&apos;s reliable, but sometimes he&apos;s also very unreliable, especially if he got something to do for himself.&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The writer then went on about his childhood, which he described as &apos;a bad time&apos;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He said that when he was young, he cried a lot because of his family, friends and teachers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But after the age of 16, he became &apos;strong and cold&apos;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&apos;I never shed tears anymore, to any pitiful situation or event,&apos; he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&apos;Maybe this is because I just don&apos;t have anymore tears for me to shed for other people. I even doubt I will cry if my mom or dad suddenly passes away.&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The writer said that his life became much more &apos;difficult and complicated&apos; after he entered university.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He said: &apos;I have tried to struggle but it seems that my mental is not strong enough to continue...&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The writer ended the note by saying: &apos;What have I done in my life? Basically nothing but repetition.&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The writer did not sign off on the document.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;No e-mail&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Senior Staff Sgt Ng told the court that he could not determine if the text file was written as an e-mail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He had checked the e-mail folder in Mr Widjaja&apos;s laptop and could not find it in the &apos;sent&apos; or &apos;draft&apos; folders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Senior Staff Sgt Ng also said that the file had not been changed since it was created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr Widjaja, an Indonesian, has a brother, William, 24, who works as an IT consultant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His parents and brother, who had been attending the inquiry faithfully since it began last month, were not in court yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His father, who works in a trading firm, had to return to Jakarta on Thursday because of work commitments. His brother had to attend a meeting and could not take leave from work to come this time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His mother, a housewife, felt uneasy about remaining here without them and chose to fly off with her husband.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The inquiry continues next Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;IN THE FILE...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MOTHER&lt;br /&gt;&apos;My mother likes to control everything in my life.&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FATHER&lt;br /&gt;&apos;A very kind person... too bad my mother often pressurises him.&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;BROTHER&lt;br /&gt;&apos;Sometimes he&apos;s reliable, but sometimes he&apos;s also very unreliable.&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <description>A friend wrote this. I&amp;nbsp;find it nice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;It started at a coffee shop, where we sat. it ended at a bus stop, where we stood. the exact spot, i will live to tell. in between was 1 year and 10 months. in between there was walking, running and chasing. no matter how or what, our pace was always somewhat different.&amp;nbsp;i was always faster. the gap got wider and wider...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i ran back, you walked faster. we met at a point again. that was the 8th month, the 1st time the gap got too wide. soon, such pacing back and forth became a enduring chase...the harder we tried to meet at a point, the more lost we got. we are all over. we are unrecoverable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it is 3 months later now, 3 months after the 1 year and 10 months. soon it will become 6 months later, then 9, then 12, then 15...these numbers are time. i need time. time to patch, time to internalize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;only when i&apos;m ready, i will hold my hands out this time to keep (whoever you maybe) by my side.&amp;nbsp;if i need years to get ready, i will. if i can never learn, i&apos;d rather be alone. if you never appear, then maybe next life. i don&apos;t want another ex...&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</description>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;HE HAS a degenerative disease that doctors said would not let him live past the age of 17.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Weighing only 30kg, he cannot dress, bathe or feed himself, and needs a machine to help him breathe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But Kevin Lee, now 20, is a determined young man.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not only will he graduate on Tuesday with a diploma in Internet and multimedia development, he has already been working from home as a games moderator for a software company, earning $800 a month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He works about six hours a day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His inspiration? His mother, Madam Tay Et, who refuses to let her son&apos;s dreams fade away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recognising the double act, Temasek Polytechnic (TP) will have both mother and son on the stage to receive his diploma.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Madam Tay, 52, is no stranger to TP as she has been taking her son to his classes for the past three years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She helped him turn the pages of his books during lessons and also carried him from his wheelchair to the lecture hall.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Said Kevin on the role his mother played in his success: &apos;I couldn&apos;t have done it without her. She has been by my side all my life.&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) at the age of 10.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;DMD is a severe form of muscular dystrophy characterised by rapid muscle degeneration, eventually leading to loss of movement and death.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the time, the family was told that he would not have many more years to live.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While she was heartbroken when she first heard the news, Madam Tay vowed to help her son fulfil his dreams.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&apos;I wanted him to achieve as much as he can, despite his handicap,&apos; she said in Mandarin, through a translator.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She is with him all the time. At night, she sleeps beside him and shifts his position several times to ensure he doesn&apos;t choke on his saliva.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Joker&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite his condition, Kevin still finds ways to make his mother laugh. A teary Madam Tay said: &apos;He is a real joker. I&apos;ve put on some weight recently. So he tells me, &apos;Ma, you don&apos;t need to buy a hula hoop, you have one on your tummy!&apos; &apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She quit her $1,000-a-month job at a manufacturing plant when Kevin was diagnosed with the disease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Her daughter Lee Pei Yi, 15, is in Secondary 3. Her husband Lee Siew Kan, 53, works as a salesman to support the family.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Said lecturer N Vijayan of Madam Tay&apos;s commitment: &apos;She&apos;s never far away from him. Even during tutorials, she might walk out for a while, but she will come in and check on him always.&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Regarding Kevin&apos;s job at AsiaSoft Online&apos;s Playpark forum, she said: &apos;I have to watch him on the computer and make sure he is okay and doesn&apos;t strain himself.&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Madam Tay readily acknowledges the part played by TP in helping Kevin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He was given extra time to complete assessments. He was also provided with a room and bed in the sick bay area to rest between classes as he would get tired easily during the day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since he has been unable to write for the past two years, the polytechnic arranged for a writer to write down Kevin&apos;s dictated answers during examinations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a Mother&apos;s Day present, he spent $500 on a Nintendo Wii game console for her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Said Kevin: &apos;I just want to make her happy - she has done so much for me.&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over the past two years, his condition has deteriorated considerably.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Said Madam Tay: &apos;Now he has only milk for breakfast. He has biscuits for a snack. He can&apos;t swallow anymore. He only has dinner.&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He uses the Bipap - bi-level positive airway pressure - a device that helps him breathe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite the banter, one can sense her fear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most who suffer from DMD do not live beyond early adulthood.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She said: &apos;I keep myself busy so I don&apos;t think of what is going to happen to him.&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She added: &apos;He tells me to spend more time with my daughter as he is worried I pay too much attention to him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&apos;He also tells me not to be too sad when he goes.&apos;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But now they are planning his 21st birthday in July.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&apos;He wants a big celebration with all his friends and that&apos;s what I&apos;m going to give him,&apos; Madam Tay said, wiping away tears.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <title>Design for Living</title>
  <link>http://blumarine.livejournal.com/65227.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Met up with a friend to catch Design for Living at the Esplanade. Directed by the same director of What&apos;s a&amp;nbsp;Man, Design of Living, I&amp;nbsp;think, do not live up to its expectation. The plays dipicts the various experiences of the working class - politics, seductions, schemes all the way up the ladder. However, the plot did not really bring out the gists and lessons that they intend to bring. The actors made a few mistakes here and there. And to top these, there is a technical problem which has caused an extra 20 minutes intermission, a replay of so-so scene. We&amp;nbsp;could not understand why the need for the re-play as the scene has already been completed in the 1st place before the technical error. Maybe they want to re-rest the technical problem which did happen again - another 5 mins intermission ! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;nbsp;did not enjoy the play as much as What&apos;s a Man.&amp;nbsp;Not because of the lack of hot-bods as in&amp;nbsp;Man&amp;nbsp;but Design&apos;s stage settings is ordinary and took too much of my brain cells to decipher the storyline. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real intermission was prolonged a little while due to they offerings free drinks at the bar to compensate for the technical error. The whole show dragged to past 12 mid-night and one irrate audience shouted &amp;quot;is the show going to finish soon?&amp;quot; - quite an unnecessary move even if the play was not that interesting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Design has full house on the 1st day.&amp;nbsp;Maybe because of Sylvia or the &apos;age gap&apos; actor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the time I&amp;nbsp;reach home and did my Friday&apos;s housework (now Sat), I&amp;nbsp;finally managed to sleep at 3am. Rare occasion for me. La La.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
