Apple cider

In South America some people believe that "Apple cider" is good and they drink it instead of water. Children also drink it, although it is alcohol. The quality of their "drinking water" is terrible. Since they have lots of apple they make apple to "Apple cider".

Translating English

From my experience of using English, sometimes translating English to Chinese or Chinese to English can help to improve my English. By doing research on a word, it can help me to have a better understand about the "level" or "strength" of it and get a better feeling of it. However, now my level still needs me to learn English in English.

Life need music

Life need music. Without music life is not fun at all. The sound of ocean, the sound of wind, the sound of rain, the sound of thunder, and the voice of nature. :)

iPad Why do we need that?

iPad, released on about Jan 28th 2010, "a new most advanced product", "it is so thin and with big screen"... Although the video from Apple store implies how great iPad is, it is just a big iTouch. It is true that there are many advance technology has been build in iPad and I will be happy to have one if it is free. However, the "ability" of iPad has been limited into "iTouch". Why? If you think about the following questions, you may understand what do I mean. First, does it has a microphone? Many iPhone applications will not work on iPad if it doesn't have a microphone. Second, can it make phone calls? (You may use bluetooth earphone to listen and speak. ) Since they Apple has that many advance technology, why don't just build it as a computer in hand? When the iPad has been build into such a big size, like your full size text book(but much thinner), what it can do is still just browsing and like an iPod. The operating on iPad is still similar to iTouch. If iPad can run Mac OS X, if I can make note for my class or the meeting, if I ca use skype or make phone calls, then I will be happy to have one. GPS, SDK on iPad? May be Apple just didn't get the point. It make me feel that iTouch is a revolution, but iPad is not. I assume the stock price of Apple will drop.

Saving

From many nutrition researches we know that having a healthy diet habit can help you to have better health. Basically a person with a health diet habit will eat the food that its body needs. I will not determine what is health diet habit. Instead, in my opinion, it is more important to invest money in your diet other than spending money on medical treatment when you are sick. >.< Isn't it true? We all know that, I am just talking something nonsense(Fei Hua, can't find the right word).

Mistakes....

It will be good if I can type a post without making grammar mistakes. This is my goal.

Mac or Windows

The performance of Mac is usually more stable than Windows. Comparatively, Mac makes lesser errors and it spends lesser energy and rams to run a system or software.

Two ways

Did I chose Indiana University of Bloomington, or did the Indiana University of Bloomington make me do it? Did I chose the logitech Orbit AF webcam, or did the logitech Orbit AF make me do it? Honestly, I decided to go to IU 3 years ago because it was the only school accepted me and I couldn't wait for the result from UC-SFO. Even if UC accepted me, the school will start five months later than IU. Thus I decide to go to IU. I chose IU was because of it was my only choice, and now I choose IU is also because it meet my need the best, to graduate in the shortest time. Did I choose logitech Orbit AF because of the same reason? No, I just grabbed one with the best quality and of a trusted brand. There were 2 or 3 options with the similar quality, and I just randomly grabbed one. I just need a webcam that I can let Yun see me. >.< "While Yun's hand is hitting my face, my face is also hitting her hand." Its true but theories like that are not always meaningful. Thus sometimes why do we argue so much and make everyone unhappy?

Sat

This is a proof that I have one sentence for today. :)

I like to go skiing but the snow condition is too bad so I decide to stay at home. :)

Fear

Surprisingly, yesterday I started realizing actually I am very weak! It is not about people say I am weak but I feel the weakness of my within. I am always "escaping" and running away from everything. In the past, I play computer games, watch movies, reading, day dreaming and etc. are actually trying to keep my brain busy so I don't have time to think about the problems I need to face! Honestly, I find me myself are too fear/afraid of facing the real me, I am afraid of quiet! That is also why I need music and doing meaningless things to keep myself "busy". May be there are more reasons but this is what I see and feel now. Usually I will hold my emotional feelings and do that explain it. Now I feel may be I should just release my feeling, feel my anger, sadness, and everything. Then fix the problems and sharing my feeling with my dear.

Finish your food and drinks!

This week I have been trying to eat at home and finish the food left from last year. However, the process is not going well and there is a "problem". The problem is that the food left from last year, most of them are drinks! There are about 5 big bags of different kinds of sesame drink, 4 big bags of oatmeal drink, 3 big bags of almond drink, and about 5 bags of Japanese/Korean tea/Mocha. And little snacks and sweets. They are drinks! Like water they will make me full fast but the feeling of full will not last long. >.<>.<>.<

iPod Nano and iPod Classic

Are you feeling its difficult make a choice between iPod Nano and iPod Classic? The following information may help you to make a decision.

Now days the iPods will at least have 8 GB memory, thus the memory size should not be a problem for you to worry about. What matter to you might be the weight of it.

iPod Nano has a weight of 36.4 grams while iPod Classic has 140 grams. iPod classic is about 4.5 times heavier than iPod classic. If you r looking for something small and light, Nano will be a good choice for you.

Moreover, iPod Nano can receive FM radio and has a build in microphone with allow you to record voice memo. Other features are something less important or you won't care about. Now, do you have an idea about which one to chose(when you need one)?

"Never Give Up"

Have you ever heard a story like that: A kid through threw a snow ball on to a moving car. Then a driver pulled over, opened the car door, then ran to the kid without closing the car's door. Of course, the kid was shocked and ran away. And then they the adult, the driver, ran after the kid in the city. They never gave up, after about 20 blocks running, the kid couldn't ran anymore and he was caught by the driver. "Got you!", the driver said with a normal anger. " The kid was scared and then the driver said, "You stupid kid!" Then he left.

"To see a word in a grain of sand". When I want to type and speak in proper English I will first need to read more in proper English. :) Thats for today. "At least one sentence".

Venture capital

Venture capital is a type of private equity which will "buyouts" companies with high growth potential in its early stage and willing for high returns in future. Its just like big fish will be small fish to grow bigger and then it will be able to eat bigger fish. At the mean while, it also need to avoid being eat by other fish or killed by other enemies. The risk of doing venture capital business is high. But the return is also high. The people who earn most of the money in a game are neither the player or nor the gamers, but the ruler. Although I don't have to make myself to be the ruler, now I am interest in how things work.

Wars & Desires & Needs

Few days ago Google in China has been hacked. Then a battle between Google Inc. and China. was started. After few days arguing, the U.S. goverment officals and business leaders were supportaive to Google Inc. Then the Google Inc. is under high tension between China and U.S. At first its a case about information right and security issue. However, now its no longer an issue can be fixed in the curt. Behind law there are many other issues are influecing the jug. The world has been always like that, "a war start from two kids' fight". May be everything is start from people's "desires".

What's your name?

Today I find something interesting about people's name. The name of oneself can give information about the it's background. Names in middle east and Europe has different styles. They usually have a very long name. For example, some people put their grandfather's family name, father's name before their name. They may even put 8 or 9 generations of their grandparents before their name. So other people will put their father's family name, the mother's name and their name. Thus depends on different cultures, we can see information about one's family from their names.

My lips

This is the first time for me to feel the importance of reading books under my English level. By doing these daily, can help me to my English reading muscle. From now on, hopefully each week I will finish 2 books of easy stories. :) This will not only help with my reading speed, listening, and writing. Support me!

Today is my third day moving out from TT. The work started from 3:00pm and ends at 7:10pm. It was about 4 hours work. Although I borrowed the largest cart from the apartment's office, it still took me about 7 rounds to move down. Here are some photos of the carts.

The first photo on the left was the the cart on the first round. :) They were all trashes.
Dear Rabbit is no longer living here with me. Then many of the cooking stuff are ineed now. For example, frozen fruits, rootbear, soba souce, soup materials, and etc. This was also a way for me to learn how much space has a person take part of my life or how "important" she is.

This is the second round. Trash. The first two rounds contains 36 big and small bags of trash. This afternoon I threw 39 bags of trash away in total.

These are the stuff that I need to bring with me. I have had two carts of stuff like this much.

And finally, this was the last round. The round made me proud.

Amazing! Isn't it? Two tall lamps, two carpets, and many other stuff has been placed onto one cart!

I never realize I have this much stuff till today. When I started moving I first realize I have a lot of stuff. Then after each day's moving I find acutally the stuff I have is more than I imaged. It is the first time for me to have such a strong feeling that many of the stuff are not somthing I have to have. The amount and mess of the stuff may also represent my messed up mind. I feel I want to clean up the room so that I can have a clear mind. I want a clear mind and whih has only few things on the "to do" list. Other than that I don't need others take any room from my mind.

Moreover, when we move on to something new then we may realize actually there we are lacking in many things we need or many of what we have are inneeded. Like dear rabbit, later you may have some feeling like this when you move on to your new work. : )

U won't learn till you die- people may not realize how many stuff they have before they start moving

Today is my third day moving out from TT. The work started from 3:00pm and ends at 7:10pm. It was about 4 hours work. Although I borrowed the largest cart from the apartment's office, it still took me about 7 rounds to move down. Here are some photos of the carts.

Beginning

By taking dear Rabbit's advice, I decide to start writing a blog in proper English. This blog will be open to the public and anyone will be welcome to leave a message properly. The context of this blog will be about my random "brainstorm". It may contain my thoughts, feelings, or some interesting things that I saw. The only two rules on my writing in this blog is that must be more than one sentence and proper English. :)

Now it is 10:15pm. Time for me to go to bed. Waking up early and sleep early is my way to maintain a health habit. :)
