Andie Chen: "I lost weight till I got sick."
By Han Wei Chou Posted: 06 January 2011 1113 hrs

This article is about two actors sacrifice for the sake of their role in the MediaCorp drama. First, the Singapore screen veteran Chen Hanwei's pulled out his teeth because of the drama "The Best Things in Life". Second, it was Andie Chen who shed ten kilos in a little over a month just to play his character more convincingly in his upcoming Mandarin drama "Prosperity" and even fall sick because of it. Andie Chan had a rough idea of the character and so he went for the imaging and thought that this character would be more convincing if he is really skinny so he lost six kilograms before the shooting began. When he saw the rushes, he discovered that he was right so he decided to lose another four kilograms. However, this drastically loss of weight took a toll of his health as he reduced his food intake and worked out less.

I feel that it is not worth it to deteriorate their health for the sake for acting a drama. A drama will last a period of time only but worsen their health will last forever as it is not easy to repair their health to their original form when it has already damaged. Andie Chan can exercise and eat lesser to lose weight but not reduced his food income drasmatically. This caused him to be fatigue everytime as he does not have the nutrition and energy. So he is not setting a good example to the public, I think that he shouldn't do this as the young children may learn from him. We should always emphasise on exercising more to lose weight and not starve ourselves.

Indonesia tsunami: Death toll soars to 282
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11632982

Summary
Tsunami has striked again. This time it hitted several remote islands in Indonesia causing huge numbers of injuries and deaths. A devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake was triggered shortly after the tsunami , alot had suffered injuries and corpses can be found along beaches and roads. Rescue teams were deployed to help and find survivors to provide them with aid and assistance and get them to safe shelters as well. But due to the bad weather , the rescue workers had yet to reach the worst affected areas.

My view
It is always disheartening to see news of natural disasters causing damages and deaths. I would like to give my deepest condolences to all the victims and people who are affected by the disaster. One thing immediately come to my mind upon reading the article , global warming. it's an undeniable fact that we human beings are the main culprits for global warming. I strongly believe that if every each of us were to put in extra efforts in protecting our living environment , there will be lesser cause for natural disasters thus resulting in lesser deaths and damages incurred. The goverment should step up extra measures to prevent global warmings. Another concern of mine is that are there enough help being rendered to help aiding the victims of the disasters ? We should lend our helping hands to help out be it financially or physically. If given the chance , i would like to volunteer and help out in the affected areas, I believe it will be an unforgetable experience for me and definitely it's a lesson that can't be taught in classes.
