![]() SINGAPORE (AFP) - – A Singaporean man has gone on trial charged with murdering his 23-month-old daughter in a fit of rage after he caught her playing with his cigarettes, court officials said Tuesday. Sallehan Allaudin, 26, is accused of fatally beating his daughter Nikie in January ahead of her second birthday, causing her to die of a ruptured vein. If convicted, he could face death by hanging. The High Court was told Monday that Sallehan, who had just returned home with his wife with a present for Nikie, went berserk after seeing the toddler had torn up and scattered his cigarettes, the Straits Times reported Tuesday. Sallehan has pleaded not guilty to the charge. His wife, Rozanah Mohamed Yusoff, 24, used a mannequin to show the court how Sallehan allegedly kicked and stomped on their daughter in the kitchen, the newspaper said. The couple, who have two younger daughters, called for an ambulance when Nikie started bleeding from the nose, but she died of her injuries, according to the report. "I did not go into the kitchen to stop my husband as I thought that was the way he wanted to discipline Nikie," the wife was quoted as saying by the newspaper. I think it is still safer not to smoke, it depletes yr health, and u may die due to smoking! another news: Witnesses reported seeing passengers jump from the bus as it ploughed through the busy streets, pushing several cars along at a time. Nineteen cars were crushed by the end of the drama and four people left in hospital. One commuter's brush with death is captured on camera in agonising detail. At first he is pictured walking calmly across a busy street in front of several cars which appear to have stopped at lights. But the man - dressed in a smart dark suit and with a briefcase - quickens his pace slightly as a large bus looms at the top of the picture. Then, with the bus showing no signs of slowing down, he breaks into a panic-fuelled dash to the other side. The speeding bus crashes into the line of cars and misses the pedestrian by inches, before continuing on at breakneck speed. More video footage - filmed in the Russian city of Perm - shows a junction functioning peacefully with cars and trucks sharing the highway. But then, from the right, two cars appear at high speed - followed by the out-of-control bus which is pushing them along. Photographs taken later show the bus finally at rest after mounting a raised plaza in the city centre. The wreckage of other vehicles can be seen strewn nearby. Other pictures show forlorn motorists standing next to their battered cars in the street The clip was filmed on Monday and has been posted onto the video-sharing website YouTube. nothing to say bout this. another news! MANILA - Facebook users beware. Psychologists are now probing a new kind of addiction called Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD). Psychologist Dr. Michael Fenichel, who has published numerous writings on FAD online, describes it as a situation in which Facebook usage "overtakes" daily activities like waking up, getting dressed, using the telephone, or checking e-mail. "The amazing thing is that, like cellphones, nobody seems to notice the vast amount of time and energy - at work, at home, and now while on the move - people are devoting to Facebook. It has become a given," Fenichel writes in an online post titled "Facebook Addiction Disorder- A New Challenge?" FAD could be classified under the more broad "internet addiction disorder" or internet overuse. Academic papers have already posed theories on internet addiction and social networking addiction, and even less, cellphone addiction. "Like most activities, moderation and integration are key. Those that may seriously label and treat FAD as a behavioral addiction will clearly need to use context in determining if a behavior has become demonstrably harmful to overall social, work, or face-to-face interpersonal efficacy," Fenichel added. You are a Facebook addict if... According to Joanna Lipari, a clinical psychologist at the University of California, Los Angeles who was interviewed for a CNN report, here are some signs that you are addicted to Facebook: 1. You lose sleep over Facebook. When using Facebook becomes a compulsion and you spend entire nights logged on to the site, causing you to become tired the next day. 2. You spend more than an hour a day on Facebook. Lipari said it is difficult to define how much is too much when it comes to Facebook usage, but that an average person need only spend half an hour on the site. 3. You become obsessed with old loves or exes you reconnect with on Facebook. 4. You ignore work in favor of Facebook. This means you do not do your job in order to sneak time on Facebook. 5. The thought of getting off Facebook leaves you in cold sweat. If you try going a day without Facebook and it causes you stress and anxiety, this means you need help. According to the same report by Elizabeth Cohen, Senior CNN Medical Correspondent, Facebook addiction is not yet an actual medical diagnosis. However, the report notes that several therapists in the United States have noticed a rise in the number of clients who get hooked on social networking, to the point of social dysfunction. Facebook fun Facebook, launched by the world's youngest billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, has over 300 million users worldwide, half of whom log on to the site every day. Further, about 2 billion photos and 14 million videos are uploaded on various Facebook pages a month and about 6 billion minutes are spent on Facebook a day, worldwide. According to Willis Wee, founder of the social media and marketing blog Penn-Olson.com, this is twice as much time that people spend on Google. The global social networking website allows users to post and share content (like photos, links, videos, and notes), play casual games and applications, and interact with friends and family through messaging and chat. abs-cbnNEWS.com. With reports from CNN.com. lol. sometimes, even if u rlly wanna communicate with ppl u dunno, it is still safer not to under some circumstances. another news again.. Local actor Mark Lee recently traveled to India to film the new Channel U variety programme, Singapore Flavours. He was originally supposed to head to England but due to a clash in schedules, he had to swap destinations with actor Chen Hanwei. The comedian jokingly commented, "I am such an 'in' person, am I suitable to go to India? Chen Hanwei's so tanned - he should be going to India instead!" His experience in India turned out pleasing. He shared that Singaporean cuisine is very popular and well-received in India. He also discovered that the owner of the restaurant where they filmed is a fan of Singaporean food and plans to open a hawker center in India. The restaurant owner even invited Mark to be a shareholder of his new food and beverage business venture. The businessman was born in India, but has family roots in China, and belongs to the fourth generation of his family business. He currently runs six different eateries and the production team visited his three-storey restaurant which includes a wine bar and karaoke lounge. Being a big fan of Singaporean delicacies, he hopes to open a hawker center in India and sell authentic Singapore fanfare. "He specifically wanted Singaporeans as cooks and asked me to help him look for people. He even said that he'll give me 30% of shares but I told him to 'call me when you're in Singapore. I will introduce them to you. Forget about the 30% shares,'" said Mark. Mark reckons that the popularity of Singaporean food came about from the large influx of Indian workers in Singapore who brought back recipes of our local delights to share with their fellow countrymen. When the host was asked to compare between the local delights available in Singapore and India, he shared that the rice grains used in the Hainanese chicken rice in India belongs to the Indian long-grain rice and revealed that roti prata is non-existent in India. nothing to say bout this too. i bet enuff of news for now? lol.
