Can the country still be saved with their drastic actions now, after this has been like happening for god knows how many donkey years ago?

Stop, you are on candid camera

Stop, you are on candid camera

By HARIATI AZIZAN and THO XIN YI
sunday@thestar.com.my

There are no funny antics or naked limbs in this video but it became a hit on YouTube the minute it was uploaded.

WE all seem to know someone or someone who knows someone who has been a victim of a smash-and-snatch theft. Last week, Kuala Lumpur chief police officer Deputy Comm Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah was reported as saying such cases were on the decline but the way people are talking, it seems this “new variation” of street crime is rampant.

In this evolved form of the crime, instead of preying on pedestrians, the snatch thieves “attack” lone motorists when they are waiting for the traffic lights to change at junctions or when they are stuck in peak hour traffic.

Caught in the act: The YouTube video uploaded by Seow showing two snatch thieves on a motorbike attacking a motorist near Section 16, PJ, went viral and had more than 300,000 hits within a week.

On their motorcycles, usually with a partner, the culprits would tail the driver they are targeting and wait for the opportune time to smash the car window and grab the victim's valuables.

Too many, especially women, have fallen victims to these unscrupulous criminals. Unfortunately, these crimes are difficult to solve as they are committed in the blink of an eye.

However, it might just change if a new phenomenon catches on video evidence from in-car video surveillance camera. Such video evidence was uploaded on YouTube early this month, creating an online sensation.

Eagle eye: Seow showing the video surveillance equipment in his car. He caught attention when he posted his footage of two smash-and-snatch thieves attacking a motorist.

Shot from a car that was behind the victim's car, the 23-second video clip captured the street crime as it unfolded in Section 16, Petaling Jaya.

The footage shows two men on a motorcycle approaching the car at a traffic light junction. Within seconds, the pillion rider had smashed the passenger window, grabbed the driver's bag and sped off.

The video recorded 89,000 hits a week after it went online. As of yesterday, over 335,000 people have viewed it. Even the owner of the footage, security consultant Benjamin Seow, is amazed at how his video has caught on.

“The main reason I uploaded the video on YouTube was to get in touch with the victim. I feel a bit guilty for not doing more to help her on that day and I thought that at the very least, I should pass her the video for use as evidence in her case,” says Seow who is known as Bigggmouth online.

As he explains, he had wanted to stop and help the victim, but she drove off before he could do anything. “I wound my car window down and gestured to her to stop by the road side but she was frozen in shock. As soon as she recovered, she drove away.

“I was a bit disappointed but I guess she must have been so traumatised that the sight of me this strange man excitedly flailing his arms at her frightened her more,” he says.

He admits that he has received some flak from Netizens who criticised him for not helping her when it happened. There were others who accused him of using her misfortune to get cheap publicity.

However, he is not letting the nasty comments bother him as through YouTube he has managed to connect with the victim and agreed to be a witness in the police investigation of her case.

The victim, 26-year-old occasions architect Chen Qian, admits that she was so distressed after the incident that all she wanted to do was to get to the police station straightaway.

“I was on my way to church in that area and had left my handbag on the front passenger's seat. When the thieves smashed my window, I honestly thought someone was going to hurt or kill me. I screamed my lungs out and tried honking but the (traffic) light had changed so I thought it was best to get out of the way,” she recalls. And when she saw the thieves driving straight on, she knew she would not be able to catch up with them.

“I was so far behind the traffic. In any case, I wouldn't know what to do even if I had. I was still in shock so I picked up my friend from Damansara and made a report at the SS2 police station immediately.

“On hindsight, I wish I had stayed where I was because I could have asked if any of the other drivers had managed to catch the motorcycle's number plate,” she says. Seow believes that snatch thieves choose their crime sites carefully to prevent other motorists from helping the victims.

“Usually they will pick busy roads to make it difficult for other motorists to stop them. I would not have thought twice about ramming my car into them on that day but there was no way I could move my car, much less catch up to them,” he says.

After witnessing the crime for himself, Seow says he can now understand the shock and trauma that victims go through in such incidents. “Everything happened so fast that I too needed time to recover, and I was just a witness. Many times people blame the victim for not reacting fast enough.”

He feels it is also why the video had a lot of hits: “People are simply shocked at how fast the crime was carried out only a few seconds.” Seow says he installed his in-car CCTV equipment about a year ago but this was the first time that he had caught such a crime on camera.

“I got interested in the in-car video system when I saw how many cars in Japan and Korea have these cameras. In fact, over there the in-car cameras are now provided when you buy a new car.

“I realised that it made a lot of sense to have such an equipment. When you get involved in an accident or when something happens to your wife or children in the car or when they get out of the car, you have evidence.”

But he stresses that the in-car camera cannot be a deterrent for unwanted incidents. “In Japan and Korea, for example, they are used to settle disputes in accidents,” he says. Still, Seow encourages drivers to instal a surveillance camera in their car. “If more people have it, they can help prevent street crime.”

He says the surveillance cameras are available in any electrical shop and even on the Net. “You can search online where many cameras from China and Taiwan are available. Once you have bought one, you can get it installed at any car accessory shop. It is very simple to mount.” The footage initially gave Chen hope of seeing her case resolved.

“When I saw the video, my first thought was, that's my car!' I was actually quite traumatised when the robbery happened, and watching it again made me relive the experience.

“But after the initial shock, I was hopeful that perhaps the video managed to capture the thieves' number plate, and that I should try to get in touch with the videographer' so that I can hand the information over to the police,” she shares.

She left a message for Seow, and their correspondence soon started. Last Monday, they went to make a police report at the Sea Park (SS2) p olice station. There, they were told that the crime scene falls under the Taman Tun Dr Ismail jurisdiction and they had to go there to make the report and send the evidence.

“The inspector I spoke to was polite but didn't seem to know anything about the video on YouTube. I think she probably doesn't watch YouTube.” Chen says she did not really expect the police to catch the guys but she wishes that a bit more had been done.

Like Chen, Seow is also disappointed that the crime seems to be low on the police's priority list. “There is so much that t he police can do,” he says, pointing out that the particular spot at Section 16 seems to be a hot area for smash-and-snatch thieves.

One problem, he feels, is that too many drivers, especially women drivers, are still careless about their safety. “Many leave their handbags on the passenger seat, which makes them easy targets. The snatch thieves seem to make their decision on that basis.”

Chen agrees and is now advising fellow women drivers to stay vigilant always. “Do not put your handbag on the passenger seat. Lock your doors. Keep your phone with you. Don't put all your money in your handbag. Keep some cash on you.” She says that before the incident, she tended to drive on autopilot, especially on a route that she takes often.

“But since the robbery, I have been more cautious and look in the rear view and side mirrors often, especially when motorcyclists come close.” More importantly, advises Seow, drivers should secure their car by installing security film or safety tint on their side windows.

“It is about profiling for the criminals. If I was a snatch thief, I will not choose a car that is armoured' or strong. I'll choose a small, weak' car, with windows that are not tinted or secured. I'll chose a woman driver because they are easier targets and are more vulnerable,” he says.

That is another reason why he uploaded the video on YouTube, he says: to raise awareness of the dangers of the crime so that it can be prevented. “It can happen to anyone yourself, your wife, your mother, your sister, your daughters.” Crucially, he hopes to get the word out there to the snatch thieves: “You are being videoed and may not get away so easily next time.”

Baking our hearts out

Another nice sunny Sunday morning we had......

This time, we didn´t spend our time out in the woods under the sun. We did something different instead. Baking!!!!

Amelia was fascinated with baking..... as I have never done it back home after having her (And I barely touch the kitchen for many reasons) she was altogether interested in watching us baking instead of sitting in the hallway watching tv...... Was just a simple cake we baked, a simple chocolate sponge cake. It came out a success actually, and coming to a great conclusion.... we should do baking together once a month! Messing ourselves in the kitchen and all... ;) Guess I need to start researching and google up for more baking recipes via the internet! Its hard to get recipe books down here as my German is superbly low at the moment..... Would take ages before I am that a professional to start cooking or even baking via a German book! Hahahaha But then..... I just got this recipe from the chocolate milk powder box we bought for Amelia to drink ;) 

So hence we decided to try it out cos it wasn´t that difficult and we managed to get all the ingredients from it at just one spot... :)


Mixing of ingredients was fast... didn´t have to take hours, just..... 30 mins before we are done... though we were sneaking taste from it occasionally.. OMG... the chocolate cream that was produced out from it is deliciously wonderful!!!!  Then..... before everything finishes, we finally put the "donut" cake into the oven to be baked for 1 hour...... Amelia was jumping happily and kept asking when is it done all the time! Hahahaha She is getting very extremely impatient to start eating the cake we started baking ^^

But... overall, the cake turned out a success.... I´m happy and satisfied about it... being able to do such stuff together as a family. It´s indeed something I always wished for....... doing things together as a family.... and not half done....


Speaking of half done.....


We had webcam with my parents today and also with my ex husband (this I was genuinely surprised). AMazingly, a lot of emotions streamed through me seeing him via webcam, and even more seeing him having tears in his eyes..... Sometimes I wished that life would be one less complicating... especially on me and my ex husband. I wonder if we would ever be able to reconcile and be friends, good friends at least .... for our daughter´s sakes. But oh well.. who am I to even ask and think of it?


Some emotions are better left closed up forever... especially when we have both moved on.... especially me. But..... I am only human...... and it´s 12 long years with many memories good and bad with him. 


But I guess, like a post from a fellow friend, titled Reconciliation in Love, its something I would really wanna try doing, although its now only to be maintained as friends. Sometimes, I guess I will always forever and ever love him, like what I always told him when we were together 

很久以前，我对你说过不论发生了什么事，我是会永远爱你。。。。是没骗你的。。对不起。。。你永远都是我第一个最心爱的。

The Remarkable wonders of Spring

Ahhh... the remarkable wonder of nature!

I still am so amazed and astounded with the beauty of mother nature.... I always thought mother nature was beautiful... but never have I known that it would be this extremely beautiful!

Watching the flowers and the trees starting to bloom and catching some of these fascinating shots on camera, am being absolutely lucky to be able to do so also!

With the coming of spring, one would also think that the weather would be extremely good and sunny..... but.... alright alright... we have the sun..... sometimes the sun is shining ever so brightly in the sky that you´d think you´d get scorched by it! But... the cold gentle breeze blows by and keeps you nice and cool while the sun shines ever so warmly on the skin! 

And most amazingly, living in an apartment gives us the privileges of looking out our window and just watching the trees at the opposite road or somewhere further away blooming ever so greenly! 


With all the colors in spring, everyone around is busy planting flowers and busy buying potted and flowery plants to plant either in their gardens or into flower pots to place it on the balcony........ Myself.... I have been very interested in starting a small gardening place, although unluckily at the moment our house doesn´t come with a balcony..... At least I would feel safer knowing baby isn´t stuck at the balcony or so ^^


But there are many advantages of having a balcony... one of it is... doing laundry at home is much simpler as we can hang our clothes up on the balcony..... at the moment, hanging it inside the house or.... over the heater to dry is so not convenient... *lolx*


Don´t get me wrong.. I am happy to have a home of our own... a place that is solely ours... no other people´s influence... no parents or in laws to interfere like back then.... Design or decide or what to do with our own home on ourselves without anyone saying what is good or what is bad.... Sometimes I wish that it was like this all the time.... maybe without my parents or his parents influencing us all the time plus his friends.... maybe, just maybe, we wouldn´t have divorced. 


But... that´s all in the past... it´s already 3 years down the road.... No looking back.... *lolx* just speculating..... xD

Anyways... back to Spring time.....

I have encountered many various types of extraordinary flowers.... some that just blooms only on a specific time and some only at certain places......  For example this white flower with the yellow centre.... apparently, this is known as the Easter flower, that only blooms during Easter time! WOw..... and most of all.. it comes in many colors!!!! This is just one of the few colors that I took.... 

And worse of all was.... I just forgotten to bring the camera out today when I was out and about together with my daughter!!! *Careless me* 

Guess I better keep my camera in my handbag then I wont forget (Though I change bags every time we go out -.-)

Finally... after days of being down.... the website to The Star Online newspaper is finally up.... and most interestingly... the first headlines of the day that caught my eye.... a poor girl who has been raped by her stepfather since the age of 11...... and for 15 years long he has been raping and abusing that poor girl repeatedly... and no action was taken even after being reported... 

Sometimes I just can´t help but wonder on the safeness of being in Malaysia.... well.. I know it´s a free from War and such country compared to the western world, we are kinda "secluded" in our own strange way and definitely outdated compared to the whole world.... but..... we can´t keep our future generations safe from such morons, such monsters......

Raped by stepdad for 15 years

By RASHITHA A. HAMID
rashitha@thestar.com.my

KUALA LUMPUR: After seven abortions and being raped repeatedly by her stepfather since she was a child, a 28-year-old woman fled her home in Kedah.

The victim, who wished to be known only as Zt, said she became her stepfather's sex slave after he first raped her when she was only 11-years-old.

“My mother had no idea of what was happening all these years.

“She only knew when I revealed everything before leaving the house,” she said, adding that her stepfather forbade her to mingle with other people.

“He raped me at our house, in the jungle or at his rented house after fetching me from school,” she told reporters at the office of MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong here yesterday.

She was accompanied by Umno Youth community complaints bureau head Datuk Muhammad Khairun Aseh.

Still afraid, Zt refused to disclose where she had sought refuge nor divulge her full identity.

Zt said she feared her 58-year-old stepfather would come looking for her.

She had lodged a police report in Penang against the man after running away in December 2008.

“The case was transferred to Kedah but no action was taken against my stepfather,” she claimed.

“He used to threaten me, saying no action could be taken against him as he has friends in the police force,” Zt said, adding that the man would beat her up if she refused his request for sex.

She had had enough after almost 15 years of torture and brutality.

Chong said his department had enough evidence to hand over to Bukit Aman to nab the suspect.

Today I found another article which is quite heartbreaking..... a man beating up his poor 4 month old pregmant wife just because she has food cravings during her pregnancy......

I guess he must have been a complete idiot, who probably is just "fucking" till he "accidentally" makes his wife pregnant... but don´t wanna "share" the burden of having a child........

Thankfully... when I was first pregnant, my husband never knew about it. I hid my pregnancy well from him... though I doubt he would accompany me much with my food cravings, as he wasn´t even there for me when I went for my monthly check ups with the doctors...... He was either completely busy with his work (he was actually married to his work and not me) or busy with his gaming.... I remember those fights we had when I insisted he accompany me to the doc... which resulted him never going.... though I managed to only persuade him to go with me twice..... even with a black face.... ROFL.....

Ahhhh those good old memories.... painful, sweet, happy and also sad memories *sighs*

Anyways...... here´s sharing the article for you all

Man beats pregnant wife over food cravings

OTHER NEWS & VIEWS
Compiled by SIMON KHOO, NG SI HOOI and A. RAMAN

A FOUR-MONTH pregnant woman was punched and kicked by her husband after she asked him to look for two types of “rare” food in the middle of the night.

Harian Metro reported that the woman, aged 28, had developed a craving for various types of delicacies and fruits which were difficult to find.

Previously, the husband, in his 30s, had obliged her requests but this time his emotions got the better of him and he lost his temper.

In the latest incident on Tuesday, the woman again pestered her husband to look for buah kelur and lempuk durian when he returned to their house in Bandar Baru Sentul from work at 11pm.

“The husband blew his top and scolded his wife.

“The couple argued for a good 20 minutes before he lost control of his anger and started punching and kicking his wife,” a source said.

The wife contacted a friend to send her to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital for a check-up before lodging a police report.

Sentul OCPD Asst Comm Zakaria Pagan confirmed the incident, adding that an investigation would be carried out.

Kindergarten co-owner who raped 4-year-old girl gets 20 years jail

By PRISCILLA DIELENBERG

GEORGE TOWN: A Sessions Court here sentenced a 48-year-old kindergarten director to 20 years in jail and to be whipped 10 times for raping a 4-year-old girl at his kindergarten in 2008.

Judge Sitarun Nisa Abdul Aziz found Ewe Peng Lip guilty of rape, saying that his defence was a bare denial and had failed to raise any reasonable doubt against the prosecution's case.

Ewe was tried for raping the girl, who is now seven, at the kindergarten in Bukit Dumbar here between 8.10am and noon on a day between January and April in 2008.

The offence under Section 376(2)(e) of the Penal Code carries a jail term of between five and 30 years, and whipping.

In asking for a light sentence, Ewe's counsel Datuk C.V. Prabhakaran said Ewe was a first offender, was married with three children, and was assisting his wife to run the kindergarten.

DPP Tan Guat Cheng pressed for a deterrent sentence in the interest of the public, saying that Ewe had taken advantage of the victim who was only four and was attending the kindergarten run by him and his wife.

“The victim suffered from trauma, and was still scared when she was giving her testimony. The court should not compromise when it comes to rape cases, especially statutory rape where the victim was only four,” she said.

After Sitarun Nisa pronounced the sentence, Prabhakaran sought stay of execution pending appeal to the High Court.

Sitarun Nisa granted the application for stay but increased Ewe's RM10,000 bail to RM20,000 in one surety.

Ewe was also represented by counsel Moke Yee Yow and Low Meng Chua, while the Women's Centre for Change (WCC) legal officer Karen Lai held a watching brief for the victim and her family.

After the court adjourned, a squabble broke out when Ewe's wife and sister tried to stop cameramen from taking pictures of Ewe.

There was pushing and shoving, and a shouting match which lasted nearly half an hour from Level 7 of the Bangunan Sri Pinang, where the courtroom is located, to the ground floor of the court premises.

A little update ^o^

A little update about our life nowadays....

It´s been 1 month and 15 days since we left our only home, aka homeland, which is Malaysia and traveled 10,000km away to a new land known as Germany in the continent of Europe. We have been through alot through out this 1 1/2 months out here.. adapting not only to the harsh cold weather of winter... although there was no full fledge snow fall in Berlin, the sharp cold wind and the few snowflakes that drop from the sky, which made me come to the realization that snowflakes aren´t little white balls but they are actually star shaped stars falling from the skies! And imagine... no 2 snowflakes are of the same size star!!! Wow!!!!

Alot to take in ain´t it? ^^ I did try to take a close up photo of it early one morning when we left the house at like.... 7am in the morning to make our way to the Immigration office in Berlin...... some 1/2 hour train ride away from home..... Did you know Berlin isn´t such a small town afterall? xD there are like.... millions... or is it billions of inhabitants just in Berlin itself! Wow....... 

But I love the public transportations here... they are on time and they are reliable... unlike the ones that we have back home which comes when they like and go on "strike" when they feel like it..... ^^ and.... most importantly everything is reachable via train, tram, subway or even bus!!! So no need to take a cab... let alone drive anywhere.... lolx...... Driving here is expensive. The taxes charged on driving are extremely high, although they don´t have such things as highway tolls or renewable driving licenses or even road taxes...... so I guess it´s the difference there..... though I would say, a lifetime driving license is indeed a desire much more than paying every year to renew your driving license......

We have been around few places in Berlin. I even introduced my daughter to the world of hamburgers and fast food... which she found it extremely interssting although she is still hesitating at times on the Pommes aka french fries.... but... her favourite...... Burger King fried nuggets. Extremely delicious is what she says it is... lolx... Thankfully she´s not demanding it everyday..... Another few favourites of hers..... Spagetthi and pasta... which apparently she loves eating compared to the usual rice that she has back home..... down here we have a variety of German and Italian and many other various types of food. Am still in the learning process of gathering and even cooking german food....

And finally, after 1 month, on my daughter´s 4th birthday, we finally gotten our PR. Hence, after all these things that we have gone through and after obtaining the Pr, now we have to start school for myself, school of German lessons and for Amelia kindergarden to learn and study and mix around not forgetting learning German.

 We had our friends who came down to Germany to visit us sometime beginning of March, friends from Scotland.... even Daniel was down for a short 1 week visit although didnt manage to get any photos of him at all. During this short one week that our friends are down, we managed to visit Berliner Dom Chapel, The Berlin Wall (Or whatever that was left of it), Reischtag and etc..... there were many fond memories that was created while we are out and about in this whole month of March that we endured. Fond times we have together with David and Eniko, Sven, Daniel and not forgetting Thomas who came down to Berlin all the way from Tönning, Germany..... Guess you can see more of the photos of all our journey at http://pandafamilie.multiply.com.

That´s bascially where I have uploaded all my memories there, from the time my daughter was born right up to this very day.... All our happy times and last moments we had with the ones we love. Someone once told me, a photo captures moments that sometimes the heart might forget.... You know, for my case, how I wished that my heart will completely forget every single moment that has gone thru in the past. How can a person forget everything that has happened for more than 10 years in just a snap of the fingers but I cant do it?

Back to Topic...... *smacks ownself*

I know one thing I completely miss alot... having attending church, hearing the people singing hymns and God´s praises. Allthough I am not a very frequent church goer, I really miss going to church, really miss talking to God, although somehow Sven doesn´t really believe in the existence of it... ROFL... he has a scientist mind..... but he is a baptisted Protestant..... which is another thing that baffles me... why are there so many "categories" of Christianity? When the important thing is that Jesus is our Lord and Saviour?

Easter is coming up pretty soon... making me miss home... but apparently Easter is celebrated here differently...so can´t wait to see our first Easter egg hunting... lolx.....

Our Daily Journey (ODJ) with God : When God Ran

 Being in Germany has its pros and cons, first of...... I couldn´t get my ODJ and ....... surprisingly, I am in the mood of starting to read the bible again.... maybe cos it feels comforting to read the bible, with all that I am going through at the moment..... But... No matter what, I find the time and found myself typing in the address to Our Daily Journey webpage by RBC ministries.


Upon arriving on the page, I found myself with this reading of the day..... When God Ran...... it´s a good reading, and it comforted me alot... makes me realize that no matter how up or down our life is, God is always there, especially in our times of need of someone to listen or silently talk to..... 


I hope this reading of the day may lighten up your day as it has enlighten mine...
God bless.....

Straining to see the distant horizon, I squinted my eyes in an effort to catch sight of the person I was waiting for. A thousand thoughts raced through my mind: Does she know where to get off the train? Did she understand my directions? My heart pumped faster as the seconds ticked by. Finally, the person I so wanted to see came into view! In that split second, anxiety was replaced by gladness.

That experience reminds me of the parable of the lost son. The father was waiting for his son’s return. Every day, he would take his vigil at the outpost—looking for the young man he loved. And while the son was “still a long way off, his father saw him coming” (Luke 15:20).

Can you imagine what the father must have been doing to catch a glimpse of the young man at such a great distance? Perhaps he had positioned himself on high ground so that he could see further. Or perhaps he was trying hard to keep his eyes opened despite his weariness.

We don’t know exactly what he was doing, but his efforts paid off. He caught sight of his son while the young man was still far away. And when he saw him, “he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him” (Luke 15:20). The father ran.

In those days, running was considered undignified for the family patriarch, but this father was full of unbridled joy. Jesus told this parable to help the religious leaders— as well as us—understand God’s heart for the lost and the joy He experiences when they return.

Do we share our Father’s heart? In Luke 19:10, Jesus states His personal mission statement. He said, “The Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.” What distance are we willing to go to see the lost come home to Jesus?

NLT 365-day reading plan passage for today: Joshua 23:1-16

Say Goodbye....

In the years to come
Will you think about these moments that we shared

In the years to come
Are you gonna think it over
And how we lived each day with no regrets

Nothing lasts forever though we want it to
The road ahead holds different dreams for me and you

Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts in your heart,
is the only way for destiny
Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts,
is the only way now for you and me
Though it's the hardest thing to say
I'll miss your love in every way
So say goodbye
But don't you cry
'Cause true love never dies

In a year from now
Maybe there'll be things
we'll wish we'd never said

In a year from now
Maybe we'll see each other
Standing on the same street corner, no regrets

Each and every end is always written in the stars
If only I could stop the world
I'd make this last

Sometimes goodbye, so it hurts in your heart,
is the only way for destiny
Sometimes goodbye, so it hurts,
is the only way now for you and me
Though it's the hardest thing to say
I'll miss your love in every way
So say goodbye (so say goodbye)
But don't you cry
'Cause true love never dies

And when you need my arms to run into
I'll comfort you
Nothing will ever change the way I feel

Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts in your heart,
is the only way for destiny
Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts,
is the only way now for you and me
Though it's the hardest thing to say
I'll miss your love in every way
So say goodbye
But don't you cry
`Cause a true love never dies

Saying goodbye is always the hardest thing to do.... no matter how I say it so many times... No matter how many times I told myself all has ended and its a new beginning, the pain just keeps lingering... Although, like many says, time will ease the pain... but yet... I want it completely erased.... 

我要永远忘了我对你的爱....
