7月30日 IELTS practice 2 ---- should the surveillance camera should be fucked? (PG)Nowadays, nearly every shops have a number of cameras installed and hidden. It has been a widespread method to police to prevent various of criminals that might occur sometime. But some people think their human rights are violated because they are often being watched.
The general public concede that we need surveillance cameras so that people can enjoy a safer shopping experience. This methodology is also welcome by management of supermarkets as it seems to be an effective way to whittle back criminal rate. Surveillance cameras are already being used in almost every field today, such as petrol station, grocery store, bank, even the speed and red light camera on the road. Police officers say it is much easier for them to get evidence now by simply rewinding the tape and then get what they want.
However, this kind of managerial mechanism has been considered to be opposed to protection of human rights. It is brought up to a hot discussion today since the Road Transportation Authority had installed recently more speed and red light cameras to monitor road users. Some think the Government to do so is just to gain more profit. Some have questioned the legality of these surveillance cameras. To avoid lawsuits, the Government had put up notice board several metres ahead of cameras to get road users notified before they enter the checking-zone.
Likewise, it is very common now to see a warning notice of surveillance camera in shops and supermarkets, deterring shoppers from stealing and robbing. The shop owners have expressed no reluctance to equip a surveillance camera in their shops, even with a high cost. They argued that it is for the benefit of the shops.
7月27日 IELTS self-practising 1 ---- A Traffic Issue (PG)Traffic congestion is a growing concern in Australian media. Due to historical reasons, making streets wider in Sydney is not possible anymore, sometimes may be even worse as a bottle-neck might appear. The main cause of congestion, especially in peak-hours, is the increasing population of Sydney residents and consequently soaring private car volumes, making our life over-crowding. The latest figure shows that house rent surged 8 per cent in the past three months because of lacking housing resources.
The Government is already aware of this problem and has taken feasible actions to improve public transport. George Street is recently refurbished and upgraded with a new bus lane shifted from the left lane to the middle lane (south to north direction). This could help buses avoid congesting with parked cars in the old bus lane (it is permitted under limited time).
Meanwhile, a CityRail discount scheme is set to go. If you travel outside the morning and afternoon peaks in an attempt to ease chronic over-crowding on the CityRail network, you can purchase your ticket at half price. Unfortunately, the ticket barriers can not recognize the special magnetic strips on this half-price pass from the normal one. That means people can simply buy a discounted ticket and use it in peak hours. The government did not give a solution but said we will see how it goes. (But I personally think implementing this scheme is very problematic although it is a good idea.) Besides the loophole on the ticket checkout, it is also argued that the Government has not added services to cope with an increase in off-peak passengers, and policing is also considered to be the next issue to be dealt with.
A report shows a rocketing growth in rail patronage. This backs the idea that improving underground transport is the best way to ease road congestion. Today, fuel prices are fucking high up there. People are expecting better public transports. So Government, don’t send no more motherfucking rangers on the road and give us parking tickets. Spend our tax money PROPERLY, OR YOU WILL BE FUCKED!

7月26日 The Lobster!I guess the priciest thing you can find in a Chinese resuarant is lobster. Well, I'm the lucky one who was treated to eat lobster TWICE this month. Lobster is good, I have to say. Companying with salmon and some raw fish dish I can't name, that was a AWESOME dinner! Oh, yes, there were crabs too!
Today I was trying to upload music on the web so I can put up more music in here. But seems pretty hard to find a proper website to upload it. Megaupload is what I have found but it costs too much. So it may take a while to put up a new background music in here.
Next S2000Alright, something like this is what I called "A CAR". Increasingly, some companies are liking to give their cars angry faces and complex bumpers. And at the same time they NEVER forget about making them a fat body shape. I never ever liked a SUV since this kind of "car" was first degined and put into production. A car shouldn't look like a big overweight thing on the road. I just feel so NOT-right when everytime I open the door taller than me. Making it bigger, higher, fatter is a general trend between car companies, worldwide. But this time Honda still surprises me as presenting their possible finaly of the next generation S2000. The overall design is clean and beautiful. No over-use of lines. No more bigger and fatter. This concept still look the same size as the current model, probally even shorter. The design is beautiful, although it looks a little bit too round at the rear end, but it is still a beauty. I like the front end. The headlights is a brilliant design. Good job, Honda! Produce it! Equip it with a H20A or any other B serious DOHC VTEC high-rpm engine, a quick and short manual tranny. That would be a perfect car in the world! 7月23日 A hiphop UPGRADE7月20日 Honda is seriousWell, I have to say, Honda is really a MEAN machine! Driving a manual DOHC Honda is like dating a tallented and beautiful girl.
Just listen to those sexy words:
DOHC
VTEC kick-in
5500rpm
8500rpm

What would you think when the car is running at 8500rpm?
Nope. you would think of nothing but you are driving the best automobile in the world.
Is there any car that can define "a car" better than Honda engineering?
A: Nope
"POWER OF DREAM"
Honda konws "a car is a machine to drive"
7月15日 I'm alive!It has been three days I did not touch a fingure on my little white le! It is definitly a torture to me. No matter what it takes, I'm going to drive tonight!
Luckily, I have a company -- my cousin Luo Ke, who broght this brilliant idea that we can actually drive as a fleet! I know this may sound insane but we both understand that this idea would take us to the right spot. So we hit the road! I followed Luo's lead. He dragged me all the way to Bondi, where the mountain roads there are quite challenging. This is all about how much fun you can get when you drive. As i requested, he showed me some "fun" routes to drive, and some useful "hidden" routes to avoid traffic jam on the main roads. And I have to say, it IS quite fun to drive. Handling every corners, changing gears so as to cope with different slope of streets, etc are all elements to "fun". Hey, rememer, we are lunacies here. We love nothing but driving. If you are reading all the way down here and feeling bored, you are a normal human being. Me? I am not normal.
