這是阿培曾經在我巴褲的書裡面寫的，這文章是阿培本身養狗的經驗，對每個養狗的人都有很大的幫助，希望大家有時間可以把它看完，我翻譯成英文讓大家看：
Apei wrote many things into my Baku book. Mainly how to raise dogs, his life experience with dogs and about dog breeds. Its very useful information so please take a look. I translated it into English for everyone to read.

想要養全世界最大的狗，所有的大狗養過一輪，最後情定獒犬。
I wanted to raise all the big dogs available around the world. I wanted to takes turns raising all the big dogs, but I fell for Mastiff.

我從小就有個心願，要養全世界最大的狗。十幾歲開始工作，慢慢把大狗養了一輪：紐波利頓獒犬、大丹、高加索——最後才把重心放在西藏獒犬上。
Ever since when I was very young, I had a dream to raise all the big dogs available throughout the world. I started working at a very young age. Over the years, I had owned a Neapolitan Mastiff, Great Dane, Caucasian Shepherd, and finally now I am totally focused on taking care of my Tibetan Mastiff.

其實每種狗都可愛，只是養著養著，慢慢摸索出自己最喜歡的樣子——
To be honest, no matter what the breed, each dog is cute & lovable in its own way. Having own so many dogs, I slowly figured out what I like the most.

比方紐波利頓，嘴巴皮垂皺加上毛短，吃完東西不馬上擦乾淨，很容易過敏有皮膚病，照養上很費功夫。
Neapolitan Mastiff, for example, has saggy faces and very short hair. If you don’t clean him up after a meal, the dog can very easily have allergic reactions or skin diseases. It’s quite a chore taking care of this breed of dogs.

大丹漂亮修長，但我更喜歡粗勇的體型。
Great Danes are beautiful and usually possesses a lengthy body, but I like ones with a thicker and wider body.

高加索犬算是最貼近我期待的，但是，高加索犬野性比較強，對其他小狗比較不友善。
Caucasian Shepherd is perhaps a breed that is closest to my ideal type. However, shepherds are more primitive, they are not that friendly to small dogs.

至於西藏獒犬，牠忠實、對小孩、女人和小型動物又溫和——尤其是冬天，西藏獒犬換上一身長披毛，站出來威風凜凜、霸氣十足。
As far as Tibetan Mastiff goes, they are loyal, and gentle around kids, women, and other small animals. Especially during winter, a Tibetan Mastiff would change into a long fur coat, appearing so confident and proud, as if everything else is beneath them.
養到西藏獒犬，我心中就有「中」的感覺——所以一路養到現在。
When I got to owning a Tibetan Mastiff, that’s when my heart and mind went: “This is the one!” And so… I have been raising one ever since.

之前養的每隻狗，我都是養到牠們老死——大型狗的平均壽命比中小型犬還要短的許多，大概10年到15年。
All the dogs I had previously, I have always had them until they passed away peacefully in my arms due to old age. The average lifespan of large-sized dogs are usually a lot shorter than small-sized dogs. 10 -15 years, I would say, is probably the max.

要駕馭大型狗，教法是重點。我常跟人說，「狗的主人要有霸氣，要比狗兇」。從小規矩就要訂下——如果主人希望能帶大狗去散步，一定要從小帶牠出門，讓牠習慣走在你腿旁邊，讓牠早早社會化。
To manage a large-sized dog, the key is on teaching. I often tell my friends: “As a dog owner you have to be dominant, you have to be more dominant than your dog.” Show ‘em who’s the boss in the house, so to speak lol. As a dog owner if you wish to take your large dog out for a walk, you have to start taking them for a walk when they are still very small, let them get used to walking alongside you, this is basically to socialize them.

你帶領狗去散步，不是牠帶你去散步——讓牠們見多視廣，狗就不會有初見陌生事物激動暴衝的時候。
Remember tho, you are taking them for a walk, not the other way around. You have to let them see more, let them become familiarize with what’s happening on the outside. This way, it will lessen the occurrence of your dog having violent reactions to unfamiliar or unknown objects.

基本上，除非是生病，要不然狗咬人，都是基於「恐懼」。牠怕主人被攻擊，所以擺出戰鬥姿態——當然，社會化不足或主人威嚴感比較差的狗，就比較容易出在驚慌狀態下而暴衝咬人。
Basically, unless your dog is sick, a dog only starts biting people out of “fear.” They fear that his owner will be attacked, that’s why he goes into “combat mode.” Of course, a dog that is less socialized or a dog with a less dominant owner will more likely become violent (including biting) when they feel threatened or panicking.

這部分是主人的問題，比較不是狗狗本身的問題。改善了狗主人的牽法與教育狗的方式，狗的暴衝、易怒問題就可以得到改善。
This is the owner’s fault, and not on the dog. Once you improve upon the way you walk the dog and educate the dog the right away, the dog’s violent behavior and violent tendencies will show an improvement.

獒犬還有一個別稱，「栓犬」。讓獒犬待在同個地方大概30分鐘，牠就會覺得那是牠地盤，開始會對經過的路人兇，這點要特別注意。
Mastiff also goes by another name, “guardian dogs.” If you let a Mastiff stay in one place for over 30 minutes, he’ll think that this place is his place, his territory, and will starting defending it by being aggressive to passerby, this is something to be aware of.

我最常被問到的，獒犬吃很多三餐費用很高吧？
The question that I was asked the most is… “Mastiffs eat a lot, don’t they? So you must’ve spend a lot of dog food, right?”

我自己對狗比較捨得，讓牠吃好——牛肉全雞羊肉，但是也不一定要跟我一樣餵法。讓牠們吃飽，有時間去跑跑步，偶爾洗一下澡，牠們就很開心了。
I am more catering to my dog, that’s for sure. I’ll let him eat the good stuff --- beef, full chicken, lamb… But you don’t have to do it like me, tho, just feed him regularly so your dog is not hungry. If you have the time, take him for a walk or a jog, or bathe him, he is going to be really really happy if you do so.

最後要提醒的是，大型犬因為身體重腳的負擔大，狗主人最好是把牠們養在不滑的地板上，跟，6個月以前的小狗，髖關節還沒發育完全，不要讓牠們大量跑跳。這兩點注意一下，加上每天帶花時間帶牠們去散步運動，這樣就能保持牠們四隻腳的健康，減少很多腿部問題。
Lastly, I want remind everyone, as far as large dogs go, because of their huge physique they have tons of pressure on their feet, so it’s best for a dog owner to raise a large-sized dog on a non-slippery floor. Also, for a dog that is not yet 6 months old, don’t let the dog do too much jumping and running because his hip joint isn’t fully developed yet. That’s two things you should keep in mind. So as long as you take the time to walk your dog and do a bit of exercise, you’ll be able to keep their legs healthy, which will reduce a lot of the dog’s leg problems.

不管大狗小狗，牠們都是我們的家人，養了，就好好照顧牠一輩子。最後還是那句話.如何對待如何回報.
No matter big or small, a dog is family. If you got one, please take care of him/her for the rest of its life. Lastly, just want to say, You reap what you sow.

两个星期前我小妹就告诉我们这件事了。
她是药剂师。
我一直以为药剂师和pharmacy，多么斯文的职业和行业啊！没想到也会发生暴力事件。我忽略了，去pharmacy的人除了买棉花，维他命C的，其实还有不少病人。加上目前疫情当道，很多人怕见医生万一确诊会被关，所以先去pharmacy买panadol，止咳药等先自医。这无疑让站在前线的员工曝露在危险中。
她去年因在serve着一个阿婆让一个患咳疾的男人等待一下而被打到手淤青；最近也被一个女人恐吓要打她，还要确定我妹是否真的怀孕，是的话更要打（因为东西坏了要换要公司的批准需要时间处理她就不爽，而且还是她蓄意弄烂的。我妹的长文里有交代）。
我开玩笑叫他在胸前挂一个大大的牌子说你是Hamil/Pregnant/孕妇，希望顾客会谅解。她无奈的告诉我，她在怀着大儿子时，大腹便便快要生了，还是有顾客叫她从counter走出去蹲上爬上拿东西，明明他们自己可以自取的。虽然孕妇也不是什么都不能做，但有些人就以为im the customer im the king。
去年MCO1.0时，已开始要social distancing，她也遇到一个推开所有阻碍物硬要在我妹耳边说药名的人，我妹三番四次拒绝都不成功，那人还要硬闯，说不能让别人听到他要买什么药。结果那人要买的竟然是头痛药。
当然，被前来买避孕套的男人语言上性骚扰过也几次了。
还有更多的奇葩事就不说了。写的人和看的人都累。
更何况要面对他们的我妹。
可能你会说…
“叫他不要做啦”，我让他自己决定。
“叫她报警啦”，我当天就叫他赶快拿下cctv录影当存证，马上去报警。
“叫她公司请保安啦”，这个问题最好。她的老板屡接报告后早就该加强保安系统。希望这次会至少做一道门把客人和奥客分开。
“马来人吗？”，人品坏跟族群无关，这女的是马来人，打到我妹手淤青的男人是华人。
我们大家是群居的，即使不能相亲相爱，也应该要互相尊重。
每天面对群众，为了减低风险危及自己和家人，即使有一丝担心是否会影响胎儿，她都赶快去打疫苗了。
感谢第二轮去到现场的警察哥哥有马上处理案件并follow up。希望那个有前科（施暴，偷窃）的女人不会再来给麻烦（她昨天去报警说药行还没refund给她，当然mata不理她）。

**我大概翻译了我妹的长篇英文karangan，如下…
“自从这个马来Karen在 5 月 26 日到来后，我一直生活在恐惧中，因为焦虑，不得不申请1 周的病假。本以为一切都平静下来了，但当我在本周星期一回到工作岗位时，她再次试图通过电话恐吓我和我的员工。 今天，我决定告诉全世界，有关这个拒绝蛮不讲理的女士。

长话短说，
1）她谎称戴了粉红色的手环，原因是她拒绝亲自取货而是要人送货，打电话10000次到药房骚扰我们，当我们因为繁忙而几次没有接电话时， 她变得极具攻击性。
2) 损坏了我们的货物 3 次，每次投诉我们都要换一个新的。 她最初拒绝将损坏的设备退还给我们进行交换，并且不得不与她协商很长时间。 终于在第三次之后，她要求立即退款。
3）她在公共假期进来，但我们无法联系总部获得批准，然后要我为她打开收银台退钱。
4）她问“mana perempuan cina tu？！” 我告诉她我是这里的华籍员工，然后她开始把塑料袋里的东西扔向我。 我躲在后面的房间里，因为我真的很害怕，所以立即打电话给警察。
5) 她闯入密室并威胁要打我。 她想通过问“saya nak pukul awak！Awak pregnant kan？！”来确认我确实怀孕了。 这样她就可以从攻击我中获得更多满足感。

【原文】
So ever since this Malay Karen came on the 26th May, I was living in fear and had to take 1 week of MC due to anxiety. Thought everything was calmed and settled but when I was back to work on Monday this week, she once again tried to terrorize my staffs and me through the phone. Today, I have decided to show her to the world, the lady who refused to listen to reasonings.

Long story short,
1) Lied about wearing a pink band because she refused to pick up her stock personally but wants delivery instead, called 10000 times to the pharmacy to harrass us and when we did not pick up the phone for a few times due to the chaotic crowd, she became extremely aggressive.
2) Spoilt our goods 3 times, we exchanged with a new devices with each complaint. Refused to return the spoilt device back to us for the exchange initially and had to negotiate very long with her. Finally after the 3rd time, she demanded for an immediate refund.
3) She came in on a public holiday but we were unable to contact the HQ for approval, then demanded that I open the cashier for her money.
4) She asked "mana perempuan cina tu?!" and I told her I am the regular chinese staff here before she proceeds to throw the things in her plastic bag at me. I hid in the back room and called the police immediately as I was really scared.
5) Barged into the back room and threatened to beat me. She wanted confirmation that I am indeed pregnant by asking "saya nak pukul awak! Awak pregnant kan?!" so she can feel more satisfaction from beating me

溝通技巧系列：切忌passive aggressive 之廣東話 ending particle「添」 vs「呀」

話說A遲到，入到房見到B，跟住B話：「咦？你到喇？我以為你唔黎添。/我以為你唔記得左添。」

其實你話「我以為你唔記得咗呀。」（要配合適當嘅gesture同面部表情），可能未必係串緊人，但你話「我以為你唔記得咗添」就好似側面怪人，但扮晒唔係怪咁。

如果有啲人係遲到大王，次次你約佢都遲到，我覺得你串佢都某程度上係make sense嘅，但如果人地遲一次，你就passive aggressive 側面串人，就唔好怪人地憎咗你。

唔係好關英文事，但要學好語文，都要注意溝通技巧啊。

疫情初期，新加坡採取了積極的 「清零」 策略，但在 6 月，意識到 COVID 有可能永遠不會消失，政府宣佈將轉向與病毒共存，用疫苗控制疫情爆發。隨著限制放寬，每日本土病例激增突破一千大關，新加坡能否找到與病毒共存的方式？

On Taiwan Hashtag hosted by Ross Feingold, we discuss why President Tsai
Ing-wen 蔡英文 of the Democratic Progressive Party selected former premier
William Lai 賴清德 to be candidate for vice president. Is it because Lai
has better relations than Tsai with voters who want more aggressive
action to assert Taiwan’s separate identity and independence from China?
Is Tsai too much of a status quo supporter? Or is it to ensure Lai is
not a critic outside government during Tsai’s second term? Will Lai’s
performance as premier, which contributed to the DPP’s losses in local
elections a year ago, impact the presidential election? Watch our show
for a discussion on the latest in Taiwan's veepstakes.
