It’s a warm afternoon. You were hell thirsty and made a dash for the pantry to get a drink! Got a full glass of tea from the dispenser and just as when you were about to take a gulp, you saw this!

Sweat + tea!

You have tried tea mixed with condensed milk before. You have tried tea with lemon before. But how about tea with sweat? Hahaha, still thirsty?

I am New-Agey, and proud of it. I don't think like how paranoid religious (mostly Christian) fundies think - that New Age concepts are satanic, and I don't get anal about mind-calming stuff like, Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Meditation. So when I stumble upon sites by religious researches claiming to study the 'rights and wrongs' of how a true believer of a certain One-True-God only should behave, I react quite badly towards all the bashing up of the New Age movement.

However, over the years I have grown to understand that many people in the more developed (and surprisingly, unexposed) western, 'I am better than you are' regions of the world consider thousand-year-old practices like Zen Buddhism and Yoga Meditation 'New Age', padahal the concepts within these teachings have been around far longer than both Jesus and Muhammad.

My peeve about the anti-Yoga conscience especially, is how their argument about 'why you cannot do Yoga' can get ridiculously illogical, as if when considering whether to redeem or not redeem these ancient practices, they've grown a mushroom in place of their neural cells. I don't know about you, but I have personally received many concerned e-mails about how yoga is crazy dangerous because it 'invokes the snake at the bottom of your spine', and the bible says the devil comes in the form of a serpent.

Or the other concern that, Yoga has this particular pose called the cobra, and you mimick the actions of a spine, and 'Why Christians must be careful not to pretend to be serpents like the cobra.'

Also the part where Christians who like Yoga anyway, and try to be apologetic about their choices, start writing about what they do during their yoga practice: 'I get a bit worried when the yoga teacher tells me to empty my mind. We cannot empty our minds as Christians, so I choose to think about Jesus when the teacher tells us to empty our minds. I thinks its better that way.'

All these apologizing and blaming doesn't seem in anyway spiritual or bible-loving, IMHO. I don't know about you, but I am hardly evangelized into a faith purely because I see miraculous actions, experience massive floods that kill millions, attend funerals and suddenly get worried over where I will go to after I die. I don't watch David Blaine levitate and get converted into Blainism, you know? Religion is pure man-made, God is in the realm of the spiritual, and I doubt that the currently available man-recorded conceptual understandings of yoga (or tai chi, or qi gong) will even bring us close to who God, or what God really is. Whether He is One or Three or Many, I'm of the belief that most of us have already made up our minds about that, or, that by the time we die, we'll have some sort of concept about who God is like. And that belief will take us to where we belong, and we'll have to just live with (or die with) whatever and where ever we end up.

I wonder what will the fundamentalists think when they realize at the end that reincarnation is the real deal? Will they struggle like mad, or will they be insistent that they now belong in hell?I

I really wonder.

Running Flash Game

Last week, I was invited to join the HP’s “Touch the future. Now.” media summit in Beijing, China. It was a 2 days event.

The transports, accommodations, and meals were on HP. It’s also the 1st time I was invited to such a mass event.

What’s HP PSG?

HP PSG Regional Media Event is the annual Asia Pacific event where HP unveils their latest products.

From left: Dennish Mark, Vice President, Desktop System Unit. Chua Hwee Koon, Vice President, Mobile Business Unit. See chin Teik, Senior Vice President, Personal Systems Group, Asia Pacific & Japan.

Some highlighted products this year are: HP Mini 110, HP Pavilion dv2, HP Pavilion Elite & Slimline, and, HP MS200 all-in-one PC.

HP Mini 110

I always wanted to get a netbook. The pink color (also available in Black and White colors) HP Mini 110 caught my eyes. The artistic pattern on the cover make it a perfect gift for your girlfriend.

Mini 110 is only 1.06KG and 1 inch thick, completed with standard netbook features. The new netbook has a sync feature which allows you to sync content with your primary PC.

What surprised me is the price of HP Mini 110. It’s only US$299 (~RM1043)! (Malaysia’s price is yet to confirm)

HP Pavilion dv2

If you need a powerful yet affordable notebook, the HP Pavillion dv2 might be your choice.

Weighing only 1.64KG, HP Pavilion dv2 is powered by dual core processor, ATI Radeon X1250 graphics with 64MB memory (or ATI Mobility Radeon HP Premium Graphics 3410 with 512MB dedicated memory). Retail price: US$699

HP Pavilion MS200 All-in-One Desktop PC

When I first saw HP Pavilion MS200 All-in-One desktop PC, I can’t help but thought of my Apple iMac.

The all-in-one PC looks very much like the Apple iMac, everything build into the monitor. The screen size is 18.5″. You only need a power cable to setup it, which also means you can move the PC easily anytime anywhere in your house. The price tag is US$599.

My two cents

Though the theme is “Touch the FUTURE”, there wasn’t any BIG breakthrough in products features. The new HP products look good, stylish, beautiful… Easily match your home’s design or your personal character.

What I love about HP is that they keep an affordable price tag while maintaining the product’s quality & performance.

Introducing Project Natal, a revolutionary new way to play: no controller required. See a ball? Kick it, hit it, trap it or catch it. If you know how to move your hands, shake your hips or speak you and your friends can jump into the fun — the only experience needed is life experience.

Now how about that! This is brilliant (and scary) that technology is moving in such pace and if you dont keep up to pace with, you going to loose out tremendously. Personally its exiciting times and it would be very interesting to see how these new developments pan out.

Syndicating the syndicated: What follows is Boing Boing Gadget’s compilation of Palm Pre reviews from all over the web.

David Pogue, leaked by the Financial Chronicle, at The New York Times:

So do the Pre’s perks (beautiful hardware and software, compact size, keyboard, swappable battery, flash, multitasking, calendar consolidation) outweigh its weak spots (battery life, slow program opening, ringer volume, Sprint network)? Oh, yes indeedy. Especially when you consider that last weak spot might be going away. Verizon Wireless has announced that it will carry the Pre ”in the next six months or so.”

Steven Levy, at Wired:

It’s a huge win … The Pre emphatically shows that Palm has not reached the stage of suffixes. And multitasking rules!

Walt Mossberg, at the Wall Street Journal:

The Pre is a smart, sophisticated product that will have particular appeal for those who want a physical keyboard. It is thoughtfully designed, works well and could give the iPhone and BlackBerry strong competition — but only if it fixes its app store and can attract third-party developers.

Joshua Topolsky, at Engadget:

To put it simply, the Pre is a great phone, and we don’t feel any hesitation saying that. Is it a perfect phone? Hell no. Does its OS need work? Definitely. But are any of the detracting factors here big enough to not recommend it? Absolutely not. There’s no doubt that there’s room for improvement in webOS and its devices, but there’s also an astounding amount of things that Palm nails out of the gate.

Jason Chen, at Gizmodo:

The software is agile, smart and capable. The hardware, on the other hand, is a liability. If Palm can get someone else to design and build their hardware–someone who has hands and can feel what a phone is like when physically used, that phone might just be one of the best phones on the market.

Mark Spoonauer, at Laptop Mag:

We’ve seen many smart phones come and go since the original iPhone, and the $199 Palm Pre is the first device we’ve tested whose user interface not only matches up well to Apple’s offering, but also beats it in some areas. … Palm and Sprint have a hit on their hands with the Pre, and the webOS is a smart phone platform to be reckoned with.

Boy Genius Report:

The OS is great. There’s no ifs ands or buts; it’s really refreshing to see something that’s brand new with a UI unlike anything else out there. The only problem with this is, Palm’s never been a hardware company that anyone’s really cared about. … Couple that with the nation’s underdog carrier at a $299 price-point (before rebate), and we’re not sure how many people are going to be lined up overnight, yet we’re pretty confident once people are able to play a real unit themselves, there will be more than a lot of happy Palm Pre customers.

Bonnie Cha, at CNET:

Despite some missing features and performance issues that make it less than ideal for on-the-go professionals, the Palm Pre offers gadget lovers and consumers well-integrated features and unparalled multitasking capabilities. The hardware could be better, but more importantly, Palm has developed a solid OS that not only rivals the competition but also sets a new standard in the way smartphones handle tasks and manage information.

Ginny Miles, at PC World:

The long-awaited Palm Pre lives up to the hype with a responsive touchscreen and an engaging interface, but a few hardware design flaws keep it from being the perfect smartphone.

Stephen Wildstrom, at at BusinessWeek:

If the Palm Pre had appeared a year ago, it might have turned the smartphone market upside down. It would have beaten out Apple’s iPhone 3G and the iTunes App Store, Google’s Android, the BlackBerry Bold and Storm as well as BlackBerry App World, and possibly taken the spoils. But the field has grown so crowded with clever entries in the past 12 months that the Pre, ingenious as it is, seems evolutionary rather than revolutionary.

Sinead Carew, at Reuters:

The long-awaited Pre has nice new touches, but Palm Inc has a lot of work to do if the device is to be a serious competitor to the iPhone.

Om Malik:

…it is a pretty good-looking device, but it feels a little plasticky and is lower in build quality than a BlackBerry. It is squat, has a nice screen, and is easy to grip. It is round in the right places. However, the slide-out keyboard seems flimsy and cluttered.

Peter Svensson, at the Associated Press:

Move over, iPhone. You’ve had two years on top of the smart phone world. Now there’s a touch-screen phone with better software: the Palm Pre. In a remarkable achievement, Palm Inc., a company that was something of a has-been, has come up with a phone operating system that is more powerful, elegant and user-friendly.

Ed Baig, at USA Today:

The first Palm Pre will certainly give the iPhone and other rivals a run for their money. To be sure, there are areas where it could improve: Bring on the apps. But Palm has delivered a device that will keep it in the game and give it a chance to star in it.

Would you get the Pre? I’m sure long-time Palm fans like myself would enjoy putting a Pre through its paces.

Post from: The Gadget Blog

Engadget recently speculated that WSJ tech emeritus Walt Mossberg was actually playing around with the long-rumored new iPhone, giving out subtle hints while honoring a supposed press embargo.

Walt Mossberg (Courtesy All Things Digital)

Unfortunately for Palm, Apple has both a new iPhone operating system and new iPhone hardware coming, likely available within a month, that could obviate many of these advantages.

Apple already has announced it’s adding MMS, universal search, and copy and paste. And, although Apple hasn’t announced any new hardware features, I expect to see an iPhone with up to 32 gigabytes of memory, video recording, a higher-resolution camera, a compass, and greater operating speed. Plus, there are persistent rumors that Apple will announce at least one iPhone at a drastically lower price than $199. [emphasis mine]

Weren’t MMS and copy & paste functionality available on even basic GSM phones way before the “Apple will release a phone!” grapevine existed? And guess what had universal search as early as the mid-90s? Why, Palm PDAs of course!

To be clear, Walt was just reporting on Apple’s publicized future plans. I’m more amused by the realization that it took for Apple this long to integrate what’s been around for years into its phone.

Seems some states in the US are planning to apply taxes on digital downloads. According to Techdirt, this kind of tax is scheduled to apply this July 26 in Washington state. More important however is a potential legal ramification. To quote:

What is the value of the digital product for use tax purposes?

The value is the purchase price of the digital product. If the digital product is acquired by means other than a purchase, the value of the digital product is determined by the retail selling price of a similar digital product. [emphasis mine]

So, does this mean the state government can apply a tax to people who acquire a “digital product” (like music, video, or a game for instance) “acquired by means other than a purchase” (like through a pirated torrent)? Authorities definitely need to clarify.

Screenshot of Steam Checkout Page

More importantly, will the tax lead to higher prices, as sellers have to raise prices to honor the law and continue making money? If so, then won’t the tax lessen the incentive for “unauthorized” downloaders to become paying buyers?

More info on ESHB 2075 (AKA the Digital Products Bill) is available here.

June 4 is China's Forbidden Date.

So, Najib has to crack a forbidden joke in Beijing, a city away from forbidden Mongolia.

20 years in flashback... I was reading about Tankman Square, Beijing.

See Jeff Widener's portfolio

20 years fast-forward... I am currently reading this book about a Prisoner of the State.

Will Zhao Ziyang's book shake China? Don't bet on it, says Newsweek.

Also read Bao Bu, one of the translators and editors of "Prisoner of the State: The Secret Journal of Premier Zhao Ziyang".

I am currently doing some test to simulate the real update requirement for my production VMware Farm to be upgraded from ESX 3.5 to vSphere 4. To minimize the impact to our production system, we may want to do this with as minimal impact as possible. Due to the virtual hardware version and tools upgrade require, is pretty tough for us to perform the entire upgrade at 1 time. Therefore, our plan is get the host upgraded and follow by each individual virtual machine to be upgraded follow the suitable timing for different business unit. HA and DRS will need to be disable temp during the ESX upgrade.

I am able to get the ESX 3.5 to be manage by the latest vcenter. A vmotion from ESX 3.5 to vsphere 4 had been successes too, but the latest version of virtual machine which built from vSphere 4 might not compatible to vmotion back to the ESX 3.5 hosts. At the same time, if you have different processors chipset in the environment and require EVC to be turned on, it may be a little challenge to do so. You may want to ensure the EVC to be done with no down time.  You may need to refer to my previous post about how to enable EVC with no down time.

This trick is workable in the case. The new cluster created in vSphere 4 environment, may temporally disable the HA and DRS due to the incompatibility within ESX 3.5 and vSphere 4 for VMotion, which may happen on the latest virtual hardware version which provided by vSphere 4. Anyway, my test will still going on to further analyze the best upgrade method to be used to our environment due to the challenge of different region, time zone and business function we currently serve with our VMware environment.

Today Intel is finally releasing new Core i7 models and speed bins to the market, as well as announcing a new flagship chip, the Core i7-975 Extreme Edition. Though it will definitely command a hefty price tag, at a stock clock speed of 3.33GHz and Intel Turbo Boost speeds at 3.45GHz (all cores) and 3.6GHz (single core), you can bet this new Core i7 is one hot-rod of a quad-core CPU. In the pages ahead, we’ll wind it out around the test track and show you what the fastest desktop processor on the planet can do when it’s tuned up for a touch more horsepower at the factory and made ready for production.

Check out Hothardware for more details.

I actually thought this was a study about sports and success, till I got to the end. If you were like me, you might have choked on your drink and burst out laughing!

(Click to enlarge)

Don’t you think the comparison is SO TRUE? There’s been so much written about men and their obsession with the size of their body parts (balls being one of them), this ad was just waiting to be made.

Jokes aside, I can’t wait till they come up with a study between social status and wheels, or women or computer gadgets … The tagline can potentially leave you needing CPR.

Now which of you is brave enough to forward this to your boss? I’m sure you are dying to find out how BIG are his BALLS? Well, I hope he has a REALLY GOOD sense of humour…. and your paycheck is safely in your bank account!

I have a 17″ flatscreen CRT monitor that I would like to sell. It’s a Sony Trinitron Multiscan E230.

My monitor is still in good working condition. The reason I am selling it, is to make space for a desktop video magnifier. I would also need the cash to purchase a wider desk that lets me put my laptop and magnifie side by side for added convenience while studying.

This monitor has a bright screen that is best used to watch movies. play games, view and edit photos, et cetera.

I hope to sell it for RM250 - RM300 because that’s the price of a sturdy new desk. There are probably cheaper used monitors out there but will you consider doing me this favor?

I am living in the city of Subang Jaya so if you want to, you are welcome to check out monitor.

Please SMS me at 017-3629042, Remember to send a text message. Don’t call!

Thanks. I’ll look forward to hearing from you.

昨晚愉宝宝十一点吃奶后就睡了，趴着睡。半夜朦胧中喂了他一次，我喂着喂着就睡去了，早上问双喜爸才知道当时是三点。

后来愉宝宝再醒来的时候我看看手机，五点半。

喂了他之后，他竟然眼睛大大的给我醒着到早上八点！

六点到八点之间是间隔五分钟，时常十五分钟的nursing marathon，那时间还好，之前我睡的充足了，所以那两个小时也不觉得怎样。

估计愉宝宝也是之前睡得太好所以凌晨精神很振奋的要和我谈心。

Anyway……到了八点我就受不了了，很瞌睡，可是愉宝宝一点要睡的迹像也没有。

nurse，nurse，nurse……还不睡。尿片换了，又没有大便，抱起来拍拍摇摇，还不睡。双喜爸起床准备上班，也抱抱他拍拍摇摇，还是不睡。

双喜爸上班后，我看看……九点了。再nurse，nurse，nurse……然后他就拼命放屁大便了。

从他出世以来最大的一轮，这个便便，大出了水平，大出了风格，横扫了尿片，攻占了睡裤，朝向更远的范围发展……便便大完了还对着我笑，谈笑用兵呢这是……

面对敌方的铁营盘流水兵，还能怎样？来个水淹七军……冲凉吧……敌我不分了。

给他冲凉之后我饿得不行，放他在baby gym玩玩，我赶快泡Milo，赶着在他闹之前喝了给喂奶，平时冲凉之后喂奶他就睡的了。

等我赶着从厨房出来的时候，一看，他在baby gym里睡了……

就折腾吧你……小屁孩儿。

（很少拍到愉宝宝开眼睛的照片，原因他很少开眼睛——无眼睇。）

The more you give, the more you get back in return.

Aiming for wealth is good but in my honest opinion, utilising the wealth for the good of others is also respectable, no?

We hear in the press about rich folks giving millions away for philanthropic and charitable efforts. Even Warren Buffett gave away a mighty proportion of his wealth to Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Very admirable.

Perhaps it’s time for us to do the same as well? Granted, we don’t have as much wealth as these guys do, but giving little by little will certainly make a difference in the long run, wouldn’t you agree?

For the past couple of weeks, I have been promoting 5 charity organisations that I currently support. I’m not able to give much financial support just yet but hopefully by advertising them on my blog, I’ll be able to give them some extra exposure. Anyway, to recap, here they are again:

1. PLAN Australia
2. Fred Hollows Foundation
3. Operation Smile Australia
4. Muslim Aid Australia
5. Human Appeal International

I’ve always been thinking to myself about giving back when I’m a bit well off. Often, when we are indeed “well off”, we always have excuses not to give back. So, instead of allowing myself to do that, I’m forcing myself to do my part. It’s not much, but at least it’s something. I urge all of you to do the same. It doesn’t have to be the organisations I’ve listed above. You can support any organisations that you feel comfortable with.

On top of having an investment portfolio, how about having a charity portfolio as well? Sounds fair? After all, the more you give, the more you’ll get back.

Do share in the comments section below of the charity organisations that you support.

Goalkeeper Game

Air France flight 447 from Rio to Paris, carrying 216 passengers and 12 crew, mysteriously disappeared early yesterday in heavy weather without sending any distress signal, four hours after taking off from Rio.

This is a serious tragedy! It seems like a page that has been taken of the series lost! The plance carrying216 passengers goes completely missing and it cant be detected! Brazilian military planes scouring the equatorial Atlantic today found a three mile path of wreckage in the ­Atlantic Ocean but is this the flight that is missing? The officials seem to think so.

The possibilities on how the plane went down so far are :

• Hit by lightning
• A ­terrorist act

Hopefully they officials who are working around the clock release some confirmation and the cause is discovered.

Stay tuned to the news giants for the latest!

Congratulations to Dr. Omar Saleh of Mississippi for being the official Skyscape Millioneer. One of the pioneers and indeed one of the leading medical PDA publishers today, Skyscape has now successfully enrolled over one million healthcare professionals as customers.
Dr. Omar uses a Palm Centro in his work with the Diagnostic Radiology Department at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and as an ER physician in Emergency Departments across rural areas of Mississippi.
From the Press Release

When asked about his decision to purchase Skyscape resources, Dr Saleh responded, “There has been a tremendous buzz about Skyscape among physicians and nurses. When I decided to add clinical resources to my Palm Centro, based on the recommendations from my colleagues I visited the Skyscape website and was impressed by the breadth and depth of the portfolio offered by Skyscape.” Dr Saleh is subscribed to Skyscape’s DrDrugs®: Drug Guide for Physicians and Archimedes 360° Medical Calculator for his smart phone. Though Dr Saleh did not know it then, his purchase qualified him as the Skyscape Millioneer. He has landed rewards including a Macbook, an iPod Touch, and a $200 shopping spree in the Skyscape store.
Dr Saleh has been very pleased to use Skyscape resources in his clinical activities. “I enjoy using my Skyscape products in the ER as well as in Radiology on a daily basis. I use them all the time, when managing adult as well as pediatric patients. DrDrugs® and Archimedes 360 have an abundance of information, are wonderfully organized and always within easy access. I just have to reach in my pocket and pull out my Palm Centro.”

Not a bad prize for being the millionth customer - Macbook, iPod Touch, and a $200 shopping spree in the Skyscape store. Lucky guy!

pss: Oh yes, I changed my About page, again.

拍掌是一门艺术，尤其是拍给领袖听的掌声，更是高深难学。有几个基本诀窍要掌握好：第一，要拍得恰逢其时。领袖高谈阔论、慷慨激昂的演说到了一个段落后，略作停顿，就是拍掌的绝佳时机；绝不能在领袖正在滔滔不绝讲到一半，将进高潮又未进高潮的关键时刻，毫不识趣的出手拍掌，干扰领袖演说情绪，惹来领袖厌恶，弄巧反拙。

第二，掌声要够响亮。有四个字用来形容掌声非常贴切，叫做“拍烂手掌”，其实就是指拍掌不仅要拍到双手痛到好像要烂掉一样，还要拍出灿烂悦耳的掌声，才能拍到领袖的心坎去。

这里给多一个额外提示：拍掌之间若能夹杂响亮的叫好声，有锦上添花、画龙点睛之效。当然必须注意的是，叫好不能过于频密，因为这样听起来就会显得娇柔做作，但又不能过于疏落，因为这样就失去助威造势的效果，所以掌声与叫好声一定要配合得恰到好处，最好就是采取80/20法则，每八个掌声，就叫好两次。

拍照则讲求速度与策略。领袖演说、剪彩或开幕完毕，记者朋友们举起相机，要拍大合照，这时候，无需保留实力，无需隐藏底子，把脚下的看家本领都施展出来，冲到镜头里面，奉献自己最灿烂真挚的笑容。

当然，拍照绝对不能单靠莽莽撞撞挤在一起抢镜头的硬实力，最重要的还是要有策略。离领袖越近、越前面的位置，越有策略价值。因此，拍照不仅要快，还要卡对位子，一定要第一时间占领领袖身旁那个策略位置。这有两个考量：一，离领袖越近，越显得与领袖关系密切，是领袖身边红人；二，站在领袖身旁拍照，可以免去因靠边站而被摄影记者“埋尸”（整个人没拍到）或“分尸”（只被拍到半身）的风险。

至于拍马屁呢，这是中华民族五千年优良传统文化流传至今的美德之一，大家务必勤读李宗吾《厚黑学》和柏杨系列书籍，用心钻研，必定获益良多。

对了，三拍主义还有一个诀窍，那就是“三连拍”——拍完手掌要立刻冲去拍合照，拍完合照要马上转身拍马屁。奉行者需抓紧时机，环环相扣，才能起到连消带打之效果，一波接一波，领袖要档也挡不住。

如果有政客正经八百的告诉你，政治多么伟大、崇高，他是欺你太傻太天真。且看大马朝野政客，三拍主义才是压箱的真工夫啊！

I’ve always assumed the N97 would mimic the form-fitting slide of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. According to a video shared by Philippine affiliate Technograph, that’s not the case:

It seems the Nokia N97 will rely on brackets to push the top part to the side and up. Definitely not as seamless as the XPERIA X1, but it works for me. At the very least, the mechanism satisfies the gaudy need to showcase the actual model name of the phone, and the specs summary. Who this satisfies I honestly have no idea.

According to nokia.com.ph/n97preorder, the pre-order period for the Philippines will run from June 16-18. Will this apply to other countries as well? Your guess is as good as mine, but I’ll share any info as I find it out.

和Earthtone通电话……说着哺乳的事……关于宝宝吃奶吃个不停的事……

我：“白天还好，晚上每四十五分钟醒来找吃咧……”

Earthtone：“哇，你还有四十五分钟，我的是吃个不停不放口……”

我：“哇老……做么会酱的？”（原谅我，曾经哺乳是七年前的事，什么都忘了）

Earthtone：“哦，我在internet找过，这叫着nursing marathon，通常在傍晚开始到半夜，开始两个月都会有这个情形出现……有个朋友（？）就是酱，每到晚上七点的时候就开始准备水啦什么的，一直nurse baby到半夜……”

我：“哇老……”

Earthtone：“So？你的marathon几点开始？”

我：“晚上十一点……”

Earthtone：“嗄？到几点？”

我：“……到早上六点……”

Earthtone：“哈哈哈……你的宝宝有时差……哈哈哈……”

我：“是哦，stork从那里送来的宝宝，竟然有时差的问题。那里投胎来的baby……”

Earthtone：“哦，外国投胎来的……”

小朋友们今年一年级开学的时候，我的身孕已经大概五个月了。当时她们的功课还不多，所以和她们一起温习功课，或检查功课还不很吃力。

可到了她们第二学期功课开始增加，而我已经只能躺在床上指导，让她们自己做功课，然后还是躺在床上检查和签名。

生了愉宝宝之后，趁坐月的时候有点空闲，也还是可以看看她们的功课，让双喜爸喘喘气。

最近小朋友们对自己做的事很有自己的想法了，很多时候很能坚持己见。

比如……做造句的时候（一年级竟然已经开始‘造句’了！天……）

以‘会’造句。我问双双：你会什么？她说她会读书写字，会玩。

忽略掉会玩，再问她：你在那里学会读书写字？她说：学校。

那你要怎么写？她说：我会读书写字。

我问：不要加‘在学校学会’吗？

她说：不要，太长了，I think like this just right。我说：写成‘我在学校学会读书写字’会比较完整嚄。

不要。她说，就这样好了。I think it is OK.

……

再比如……国文的词句重组——dan adik berjoging abang

她写：Adik abang dan berjoging.

我说错了哦，应该是：Adik dan abang berjoging.

她坚持说她写得对：I think I am right。和她争执不下，我说：算了，明天你看看老师说你做的对不对，如果老师说你对，我道歉，给你买麦当劳，可是如果老师说你写错，回来我哒手心。

结果她还是坚持。回来被我打手心。

……

还有做数学，摆在她面前明明对的演算和答案，她敢敢眼睁睁的说：I think this is wrong, this is not the way…”

除了功课，平时她也常常“I think…”

“I think I like to drink coke, I don’t want the soup.”

“I think baby likes the pillow I gave to him.”

“I think you are angry with me, so I cry…”

她think，她think……我顶心顶肺。她再这样think下去，我‘ding-nga-yi’（神经病）了。

ADVERTISEMENTS

A recently new Bing search engine by Microsoft that is suppose to compete with Google and Yahoo! for a bigger market share. Just notice that even Live.com is redirecting to this new Bing Bling. Nevertheless, I think that the searches is pretty quick but they have not face the full force load since not much people know about this new search engine.

Also, I like the integration of newer technology like the mouseover to take a peek on the text displayed on the target homepage. Everything happens quite fast and smoothly. Not to mention that the results is pretty good and relavant. It is weird that I kinda like the result from MSN searches, but do not visit them often for references. I notice they updates pretty quickly and might be that they do not have a sandbox like Google that do not rank new (recently registered) website highly.

This is a homemade video of Wolverine getting prank by his teammates. Quite funny.

屡试不爽……双喜爸一躺上床，愉宝宝就醒。

明明愉宝宝已经熟睡，双喜爸轻手轻脚摸上床，才一躺下，或刚刚入梦，愉宝宝就醒觉。

刚才双喜爸午休回来，吃过了饭想着小寐二十分钟。

躺上床前说：不要又在我睡下来你又醒啊。

躺了上床，愉宝宝还是熟睡，我看看情形还好，就说我上个厕所。

然后就在厕所里听见愉宝宝哭了，唏哩哗啦的。

出来，双喜爸抱着愉宝宝一脸苦相：做么他酱的？不让我睡。

我笑抽了：

你的气场太大，存在感太强烈，你们同性相吸，同姓相惜，你们臭气相投，你们同声同气，你们心长了犀角……我还能说些什么？

Sorta this, sorta that.

Sorta everything in between.

Shhhh…
