Happy Birthday, dearest Mummy! Look at you, on the cover of a magazine - how many other women could dream of being a covergirl at 64? 😍
This is the woman who would outdance all the young girls in her church, who would be in the front line in performances with her ribbons and tamborine.
Who insisted she was fit enough to travel all over the world whilst fighting Stage 4 Cancer.
Who helped babysit my very active kids, whilst I was busy trying to be an entrepreneur-actress-mum-politician’s wife for years.
When I won my first Best Actress award, Mum said to me, ”You worked damn hard to deserve this, and you did this on your own. I’m so proud of you.” That made EVERYTHING worth it.
At the 2004 Malaysian Fim Festival, Puteri Gunung Ledang got snubbed BIG TIME, and the jury made it clear that they didn’t welcome a RM20m movie that tried to compete with other RM3m movies. And Mum said, “Forget the film industry. They don’t deserve your hard-earned money. Save the rest for your kids’ future.”
My Mummy was tough as nails, so I don’t blame her - she had a hard life, escaping by boat from Medan during the Malaysia-Indonesia confrontation in 1963. She became a widow at 39 and had to bring up 3 kids on a tiny salary. She had the highest tolerance for pain, and never moaned even once, through her 15-year ordeal with Cancer, until her very last breath in 2011.
And she would smile through every challenge. That smile, that covergirl smile 💜
You would have been 79 today, and there isn’t a day that passes when I don’t think of you and miss you being with me. Trust me Mum, your spirit lives on in every one of us you’ve left behind. And God has a smiley dancing angel in Heaven😇. I love you always and forever Mummy, rest in peace. And Happy Birthday!!!!

[翻轉視界] 孤軍奮戰的正義律師: 羅伯‧比洛特
Have you seen the film Dark Waters?
你看過電影《黑水風暴》嗎?
The film is based on the 2016 New York Times Magazine article "The Lawyer Who Became DuPont's Worst Nightmare," which describes Robert Bilott's case against the chemical manufacturing corporation DuPont after they contaminated a town with unregulated chemicals.
這部電影改編自紐約時報2016年的文章《成為杜邦最糟糕的噩夢的律師》,講述律師羅伯‧比洛特對抗化學製造廠「杜邦」的故事,該廠以未被規範的化學物質污染了一個小鎮。
Robert Bilott put his career, his family, everything on the line to win justice for tens of thousands if not millions of people. It is because of people like him, people who continue to speak out and take action against injustice, that our society continues to improve. Thank you, Mr. Bilott.
羅伯‧比洛特壓上一切,包括自己的事業、家庭,與為數達到萬人、甚至數百萬的民眾捍衛正義。正因有像他這樣的人持續為對抗不公不義發聲與採取行動,我們的社會才能不斷進步。謝謝你,比洛特先生。
Here’s a Times article that describes both the film and its portray of Mr. Bilott’s struggle to bring justice. I highly recommend the film.
以下是《Time 時代雜誌》的文章,介紹了這部電影並描繪了比洛特先生伸張正義所做的努力;我強烈推薦《黑水風暴》。
新聞報導: https://youtu.be/Tkkuil-U6qQ
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Rob Bilott, a corporate lawyer-turned-environmental crusader, doesn’t much care if he’s made enemies over the years. "I’ve been dealing with this for almost three decades," he says. "I can’t really worry about if the people on the other side like me or not."
•a corporate lawyer 企業律師
•environmental crusader 環境鬥士
•make enemies 樹敵、建立敵人
羅伯‧比洛特是位由企業律師轉變而成的環境鬥士,對自己多年來是否樹敵並不在意。「我已處理這問題近三十年了,」他說,「我根本不在意立場相對的人是否喜歡我」。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Bilott used to be on the other side. The Todd Haynes-directed movie Dark Waters, tells the story of how the lawyer switched allegiances. As happened in real life, the movie depicts Ruffalo’s Bilott as a lawyer who defends large chemical companies before he is approached for help in 1998 by Wilbur Tennant, a West Virginia farmer whose land was contaminated by chemical giant DuPont. Inflamed by that injustice, and the complicity of local authorities, the lawyer risks his career as he embarks on a decades-long legal siege of one of America’s most powerful corporations.
•switch allegiances 轉換陣營
•depict 描述
•complicity 共謀;串通;共犯
•DuPont 杜邦(世界排名第二大的美國化工公司)
比洛特曾站在企業那一邊。由陶德·海恩斯導演的《黑水風暴》講述這位律師如何轉換陣營:正如真實生活中發生的,該電影描述馬克·魯法洛所扮演的比洛特是一名任職大型化學企業的律師。1998年,一位土地被化學製造巨頭杜邦所污染的西維吉尼亞州農民威爾伯·坦納特,向他尋求幫助。不公義及地方當局的共謀激怒了這名律師;冒著斷送職涯的風險,他開始對美國最有權力的公司之一杜邦,進行長達數十年的法律圍攻。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
He works, at first, on Tennant’s behalf, then pursues a class action suit representing around 70,000 people living near a chemical plant that allegedly contaminated drinking water with PFOA, a toxic chemical used in the production of Teflon. In recent years, studies have correlated long-term exposure to PFOA with a number of illnesses, including some types of cancer.
•on behalf of sb/in behalf of sb; on sb's behalf/in sb's behalf 代表~;作為~的代表;代替~ ; 因為,為了~的利益
•a chemical plant 化學工廠
•allegedly 宣稱地;據傳地
•contaminate drinking water 污染飲用水
•perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) 全氟辛酸銨
他一開始先代表威爾伯·坦納特進行訴訟,之後代表約七萬名居住在化學工廠附近的居民進行訴訟,據稱該工廠以全氟辛酸(PFOA)污染了飲用水。PFOA是一種用於製造鐵氟龍的有毒化學物質;近幾年有研究表明,長期暴露於PFOA與許多疾病相關,其中包括某些癌症。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
In 2017, Bilott won a $671 million settlement on behalf of more than 3,500 plaintiffs. Those people claimed they had contracted diseases, among them kidney cancer and testicular cancer, from chemicals DuPont allegedly knew may have been dangerous for decades, and allowed to contaminate their drinking water anyway.
•settlement 協議;和解(金);定居;支付
•plaintiff 原告
•contract a disease 患病、染病
•kidney cancer 腎臟癌
2017年,比洛特代表超過3500名原告贏得了6.71億美金的和解金。這些原告聲稱他們患病,其中包括腎臟癌與睪丸癌,是由於那些杜邦疑似早在數十年前就知道危險、卻仍然放任污染飲用水的化學物質。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
In Dark Waters, Haynes emphasizes the seemingly endless fight taken up by Bilott, as DuPont brings its considerable resources to bear to defend itself over the course of two decades. According to one analyst, the film’s potential to raise awareness about these issues could have a serious effect on some chemical companies’ bottom lines. But for the real Rob Bilott, the work of taking the industry to court is far from over. In October 2018, the lawyer filed a new lawsuit against several companies, including 3M, Arkema, and Chemours, a manufacturer spun off from DuPont in 2015. That ongoing case is seeking class action status, and was initially brought on behalf of Kevin Hardwick, a firefighting veteran of 40 years who used fire-suppression foams and firefighting equipment containing a class of chemicals known as PFAS, or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFOA is one type of PFAS chemical).
•seemingly endless fight 看似永無止境的鬥爭
•considerable resources 為數可觀、相當多的資源
•raise awareness about… 激發對~的警覺
•far from over 遠遠不夠
•file a lawsuit 提起新訴訟
•seek class action status 尋求集體訴訟(派一方代表訴訟)地位
•polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) 全氟烷基物質(廣泛被用來作為表面塗料,不易分解、會產生污染)
在《黑水風暴》中,海恩斯強調那些比洛特所參與的看似是個永無止盡的鬥爭,因為杜邦二十多年來動用可觀的資源來為自身辯護。根據一位分析師,本電影可能激發大眾對此類議題的警覺,或是將對一些化學公司的利潤帶來嚴重影響。但對真正的羅伯‧比洛特而言,僅將杜邦送上法庭遠遠不夠。2018年10月,這位律師針對好幾家公司提起新訴訟,對象包括3M、阿科瑪與2015年從杜邦拆分出來的製造公司科慕。這起進行中的訴訟案正尋求集體訴訟地位,而該案件初始是為凱文.哈德沃克提起的,一位有40年經驗的消防員,他長期使用一種含全氟烷基物質(PFAS)或多氟烷基(polyfluoroalkyl)物質的滅火泡沫與消防器材。(註:PFOA是一種 PFAS化學物。)
★★★★★★★★★★★★
PFAS chemicals are used in products ranging from waterproof jackets to shaving cream, and they can leach into water supplies in areas where they are disposed of or used in fire suppression (in particular on military bases, where they have been used for years). According to Bilott’s complaint, studies currently suggest that PFAS is present in the blood of around 99% of Americans. The class of chemicals has broadly been linked to immune system disruption, while PFOA specifically has been found to be associated with cancers and other diseases. Bilott’s newest lawsuit, as with his prior cases, alleges that these companies knew for decades that PFAS chemicals, specifically PFOA, could be linked to serious health problems, and that they still assured the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other U.S. government regulators that PFAS exposures were harmless.
•range from…to… 從~到~
•leach into 過濾、滲入
•water supply 供水,給水
•be linked to 與~有關
•be associated with 與~相關
•assure 保證
•government regulators 政府監管、立法單位
•exposure (n.) 暴露
PFAS化學物質應用廣泛,從防水夾克到刮鬍泡,而他們可以滲入可能或被用於滅火的地區的供水之中(尤其在軍中,這種物質被使用多年)。據比洛特控訴,目前研究顯示,約99%的美國人血液中有PFAS存在。這種化學物質與免疫系統遭破壞有關,而PFOA則被發現跟癌症與其他疾病相關。比洛特最新的訴訟一如先前的案件,宣稱這些公司數十年來都知道PFAS化學物質,尤其是PFOA可能與重大健康問題相關,但他們仍舊向環保局與其他美國政府監管單位保證,說 PFAS的暴露是無害的。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
"What we’re hearing once again from those companies that put those chemicals out there, knowing that they would get into the environment and into our blood, is that there’s insufficient evidence to show that they present risks to humans who are exposed," explains Bilott. "These companies are going to sit back and say, we’re entitled to…use you as guinea pigs, yet those of you who are exposed are somehow the ones who are going to have to prove what these 'chemicals' do to you."
•insufficient evidence 證據不足
•present risks 存在危險
•a guinea pig(通常用於測試藥效的)實驗對象,供做實驗的人 ; 豚鼠,天竺鼠
「我們又再次耳聞這些公司,明知那些化學製品會流入環境並進入我們的血液,卻仍將其暴露在環境裡,並宣稱沒有足夠證據證明暴露的化學物質將置人類於風險之中,」比洛特解釋道,「這些公司坐視不理並說,他們有權將人們當成實驗對象,而你們這些暴露在化學物質中的人,卻將證實那些化學物質會對造成什麼影響。」
★★★★★★★★★★★★
"If we can’t get where we need to go to protect people through our regulatory channels, through our legislative process, then unfortunately what we have left is our legal process," says Bilott. "If that’s what it takes to get people the information they need and to protect people, we’re willing to do it."
•regulatory channels 管制途徑
•legislative process 立法程序
「如果我們無法透過管制途徑、立法程序來保護人們,那麼不幸的是,我們只剩下法律程序,」比洛特表示,「如果這就是讓人們得到所需要的資訊、保護人們所要付出的努力,我們願意這樣做。」
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Robert Bilott is a true hero.
羅伯‧比洛特是真正的英雄。

因為Charlie and the Chocolate Factory而買了人生第一本英文書、為左更似Willy Wonka而去學英文丶揾到創作欲畫到所有功課都係朱古力工廠、揾到怪雞的自信。無論乜事,呢個人都是我的一部分。我怪故我在。 #我就怪
In my very young days, English was a nightmare to me. My family has reading disorder, I couldn’t identify words properly (both English and Cantonese sucked, but improved now). I failed in tests, got zero marks in dictations while the other kids in class did perfect job, I was slow in everything, unable to understand what’s going on, teachers dragged me to detention and extra classes and I hated all of it.
But then this movie came up. It’s super weird, everything in it made no sense but also perfect sense, its fun, it kind of dark but its a wonderland to me, its Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
I was completely obsessed. I adopted Willy Wonka’s character, I drawn him in every school projects, I spoke like him (that’s horrifying in real life by yeah), I even brought a walking cane hoping to be like him (and spent most of time playing in the movie’s promotional website). As to know him better and to speak more like him, I brought my very first English book. (the one in the photo.)
First time ever I wanted to read English, not forced by parents, not forced by teachers. I found the love in this language.
At that age I still confused fiction from reality. I didn’t quite understand the idea of ‘actor’ or ‘director’. The characters seemed real to me. I didn’t even know who was Johnny Depp. Later I learnt almost all the movies and characters I love were played by him and directed by Tim Burton.
When I studied movie in school writing an essay about Tim Burton, I understood why I was so obsessed with their works. It’s about the outcasted. The misunderstood people finding a way to love and be cherished.
No matter what happened, Papa Tim and brother Johnny will be there and be as strange as you are. Let’s be the weirdo together. That gave me courage. If you didn’t fit in, that’s ok.
It made up a huge part of my childhood. It is empowering.
I understand Johnny Depp is not perfect, not a saint, no one is. And that life has up and downs. We don’t know each other, I just want to say, thank you for supporting me when I was vulnerable, and I support you. I wish you to be happy.
I do not care if WB paid him a large sum, that just sounds like hush money to me. I don’t want to live in a world where people treat each other like goods, where all relationships between humans are just a trade. ‘Nah, he is less popular these days, lets drop him.’ I hate to think we are all replaceable like a tiny unimportant parts in a giant machine. As if we could be scrapped once we made a bad choice. Its horrifying.
There’s things that not replaceable.
Its our memories and love.
And I will forever cherish the bonding we have.

I love you, I love you, I love you
So I wrote you this song to let you know
‘Cause words are not enough for the depth to show
Let’s go and buy us an old, used camper
And leave this town now, before it cramps us
Take a movie-scene road trip
A journey of freedom to lands far
‘Cause, baby, I have not lost a thing, I’ve
Never had to fight for anything in my whole life
And I have yet to discover what goes bump in the night
I love you, I love you, I love you
And now I am afraid that you will go
I don’t want you to leave me here all alone
I love you, I love you, I love you
So I wrote you this song to let you know
‘Cause words are not enough for the depth to show
And you will be the first to hear it
Yeah, this is my love song
Let’s pick us up an old acoustic guitar, too
And take it with us as we travel farther
‘Cause we can write a song from anything
The good times, and even the hard times
Although the friends I love are here in this town
I have a feeling if I don’t get out, I’ll just spiral down
Until there’s nothing left of me lying on the cold ground
I realize, I realize, I realize
That there was once someone close to your heart
Someone you loved with everything you’ve got
Please look at me, look at me, baby
I know that sometimes you get scared, too
I know sometimes, sometimes you have something to lose
But I will take your broken heart and
Piece it back together for you
I love you, I love you, I love you
And I’m not going anywhere soon
I will be here, I’ll be watching over you
好きよ 好きよ 好きよ
(suki yo suki yo suki yo)
こんな歌ができたの
(konna uta ga dekita no)
言葉じゃ物足りないから
(kotoba ja mono-tarinai kara)
まだ誰も知らない わたしのラヴソング
(mada daremo shiranai watashi no love song)
No, you don’t have to be afraid
To let my love into your heart
So as you make your way forward
Into your tomorrow
Think of my love song

My Every Dolly Makeup Routine
Hey gummy bears! Finally I decided to wear makeup everyday, well 5 or 6 days a week, this means it's time for my every day makeup video!
I will show you each and every step of my makeup routine, it's just going to be the same steps I take every morning so I'm showing you the same thing I did yesterday morning and the day before and will do tomorrow, just now, on camera. Of course I could do a smexy smoky eye look or something really dramatic and let me tell you I tried but the thing is that my face and mind as well are still kind of young my face a femme fatale look isn't really what works for me, reminder, I tried, more than once! on a daily basis so thsi is why I came up with a quick and cute makeup routine (20 minutes only!) that looks cute and matches to my cute style of clothes and makes me feel more cute and brings me one step closer to surround me with everything cute! ^O^
LET'S GET STARTED.
I keep all my products for my everyday makeup together in this bag so I can keep the process quick and smooth.
Next I smoothen my complexion with a moisturiser. If I had a real moisturiser I would preferably use that but I don't really bother because it works and if it works I go with it. Now I've got really pale skin which means my purple panda eyes and red blotches make me look like I stepped out of a tim burton movie and since I don't want to give people the creeps I will have to even out my skin tone and for that I use a small, a small amount of pink concealer. Pink concealer is the best when I apply it under my eyes to cover the pruple and it also smoothens out any ruddy areas. Now that my face looks more human and less zombie I get to the main part which is a pearl sized drop of my precious liquid foundation. Since I have pale skin it impossible to find foundation that doesn't make look like like a snowman with an oompa loompa head. So if you have a skin tone that isn't common then 1 congrats you're not mainstream 2 go to a professional theatre store, because that is where I found this foundation. This is going to last me a very long time since I got the biggest bottle but I will only need to use a small pea sized drop, which I'll apply first with a makeup brush and then blend it into my skin with this round makeup spongy here. I used to use my fingers but now I think that a sponge is much softer and enables you to smoothly distribute the foundation. Now I see that there's still some visible redness around my nose and I still got some panda eyes, well, maybe baby panda and that's when my camouflage concealer get's into action. As the name already suggest the camouflage concealer is highly covering so I will only need to dab on a small amount on my problem zones, this is the easiest with a brush. And this is it, now I just need to set my foundation and for that I use a purple pigmented finishing powder . This type of powder is kind of hard to find I also just stumbled upon this for the first time in the that theatre makeup store and found that it goes really well with my skin, but it works with every skin shade trust me so it's quite the magic item I've got here and as you can when I apply it it doesnt look purple, but actually leaves my skin with a matt but bright finish. Magic purple powder!
And from now on things actually go really quick, I've got this huge makeup palette from which I will use light brown on my eyes and dark brown on the outer edge. I've also got my favourite cheek colour here which is shade of dusk rose and I apply it on my cheek apples somewhere close to my eyes. Now I don't need this palette anymore because I'm ready for the dreaded eyeliner part. Since this is an everyday look Im gonna keep the eyeliner low key and just line 2 thirds of my upper eyelid and end it with an existing but small wing which usually ends up looking bigger than supposed but whatever I'll cover it up mascara just there where used eyeliner because overdoing eyeliner and mascara doesn't look neat nor sweet. (phew) Now if I still don't feel exhausted I decide to put on fake eyelashes and circle contact lenses.
