生命過客 - 童安格
＊在擁擠的街頭 你在忙碌的追求什麼
在孤寂的角落 你知道失去的越多
在擁有的角落 你是否曾經好好珍惜
在失去的時候 是否依然那麼在意
＃一生要失敗幾回 才知道成功的意義
一生要愛過幾回 才了解愛的真諦
走在風雨中我不曾回頭
只想讓自己習慣寂寞

Life for rent -Dido
Just came across this song from my friend's website, www.post2share.com, really like the lyrics, esp. the first 2 sentences, it's just what my feelings now! "i haven't ever really found a place that i call home i never stick around quite long enough to make it"More Videos
i haven't ever really found a place that i call home
i never stick around quite long enough to make it
i apologise that once again i'm not in love
but it's not as if i mind that your heart aint exactly breaking
it's just a thought, only a thought
and if my life is for rent and i don't learn to buy
well i deserve nothing more than i get
cos nothing i have is truly mine
i've always thought that i would love to live by the sea
to travel the world alone and live more simply
i have no idea what's happened to that dream
cos there's really nothing left here to stop me
it's just a thought, only a thought
and if my life is for rent and i don't learn to buy
well i deserve nothing more than i get
cos nothing i have is truly mine
while my heart is a shield and i won't let it down
while i am so afraid to fail so i won't even try
well how can i say i'm alive
if my life is for rent
i haven't ever really found a place that i call home
i never stick around quite long enough to make it
i apologise that once again i'm not in love
but it's not as if i mind that your heart aint exactly breaking
it's just a thought, only a thought
and if my life is for rent and i don't learn to buy
well i deserve nothing more than i get
cos nothing i have is truly mine
i've always thought that i would love to live by the sea

i have no idea what's happened to that dream
cos there's really nothing left here to stop me
it's just a thought, only a thought
and if my life is for rent and i don't learn to buy
well i deserve nothing more than i get

while my heart is a shield and i won't let it down

Love at first sight, you believe it?
hahaha, just read this news on abc good morning america. Worth checking out!It's about a guy seeing a girl in the NY subway, and immediately fell in love and he posted this drawing on the web to hopefully get hold of her and the story came true.
After coming to the states, there are really few chances to squeeze in the subway. But I still remember the days when I am in Hong Kong and esp when I was a student taking the MTR to go to school everyday.
I think a lot of us do experienced love of this sort, since it's a scheduled time you go to school, you would meet someone regularly, or you would try to meet him/her by changing the time you go to school, hahaha.
Public transport is really good, saving energy and promoting personal interaction, which I really treasured and enjoyed.
Relationship......business
The biggest global market to earn money after petroleum, weapons, drugs, diamond and stones could be the dating business, hahaha. yeah, sadly it could be a tool for trades and making money........
I think the critical part of this business is how to make people break the ice, one could add so many spices on top of the ice and this encounterance, which suppose and ought to be ....Free! Free: free of money issue, and free of mind....what's wrong with human communication?
With the Valentine's day coming up in a few months, I guess more people would "benefit" from this......great business idea, huh?

10 ways to better research
Ten Simple Rules for Doing Your Best Research, According to Hamming
Thomas C. Erren*, Paul Cullen, Michael Erren, Philip E. Bourne
Published: October 26, 2007
Hamming's 1986 talk was remarkable. In “You and Your Research,” he addressed the question: How can scientists do great research, i.e., Nobel-Prize-type work? His insights were based on more than forty years of research as a pioneer of computer science and telecommunications who had the privilege of interacting with such luminaries as the physicists Richard Feynman, Enrico Fermi, Edward Teller, Robert Oppenheimer, Hans Bethe, and Walter Brattain, with Claude Shannon, “the father of information theory,” and with the statistician John Tukey. Hamming “became very interested in the difference between those who do and those who might have done,” and he offered a number of answers to the question “why . . . so few scientists make significant contributions and so many are forgotten in the long run?” We have condensed Hamming's talk into the ten rules listed below:
Rule 1: Drop Modesty
To quote Hamming: “Say to yourself: ‘Yes, I would like to do first-class work.' Our society frowns on people who set out to do really good work. But you should say to yourself: ‘Yes, I would like to do something significant.'”
Rule 2: Prepare Your Mind
Many think that great science is the result of good luck, but luck is nothing but the marriage of opportunity and preparation. Hamming cites Pasteur's adage that “luck favours the prepared mind.”
Rule 3: Age Is Important
Einstein did things very early, and all the “quantum mechanic fellows,” as well as most mathematicians and astrophysicists, were, as Hamming notes, “disgustingly young” when they did their best work. On the other hand, in the fields of music, politics, and literature, the protagonists often produce what we consider their best work late in life.
Rule 4: Brains Are Not Enough, You Also Need Courage
Great scientists have more than just brainpower. To again cite Hamming: “Once you get your courage up and believe that you can do important things, then you can. If you think you can't, almost surely you are not going to. Great scientists will go forward under incredible circumstances; they think and continue to think.”
Rule 5: Make the Best of Your Working Conditions
To paraphrase Hamming, what most people think are the best working conditions clearly are not, because people are often most productive when working conditions are bad. One of the better times of the Cambridge Physical Laboratories was when they worked practically in shacks—they did some of the best physics ever. By turning the problem around a bit, great scientists often transform an apparent defect into an asset. “It is a poor workman who blames his tools—the good man gets on with the job, given what he's got, and gets the best answer he can.”
Rule 6: Work Hard and Effectively
Most great scientists have tremendous drive, and most of us would be surprised how much we would know if we worked as hard as some great scientists did for many years. As Hamming says: “Knowledge and productivity are like compound interest. Given two people with exactly the same ability, the one person who manages day in and day out to get in one more hour of thinking will be tremendously more productive over a lifetime.” But, Hamming notes, hard work alone is not enough—it must be applied sensibly.
Rule 7: Believe and Doubt Your Hypothesis at the Same Time
Great scientists tolerate ambiguity. They believe the theory enough to go ahead; they doubt it enough to notice the errors and faults so they can step forward and create the new replacement theory. As Hamming says: “When you find apparent flaws, you've got to be sensitive and keep track of those things, and keep an eye out for how they can be explained or how the theory can be changed to fit them. Those are often the great scientific contributions.”
Rule 8: Work on the Important Problems in Your Field
It is surprising but true that the average scientist spends almost all his time working on problems that he believes not to be important and not to be likely to lead to important results. By contrast, those seeking to do great work must ask: “What are the important problems of my field? What important problems am I working on?” Hamming again: “It's that simple. If you want to do great work, you clearly must work on important problems. . . . I finally adopted what I called ‘Great Thoughts Time.' When I went to lunch Friday noon, I would only discuss great thoughts after that. By great thoughts I mean ones like: ‘What will be the impact of computers on science and how can I change it?'”
Rule 9: Be Committed to Your Problem
Scientists who are not fully committed to their problem seldom produce first-class work. To a large extent, creativity comes out of the subconscious. If you are deeply immersed in and committed to a topic, day after day, your subconscious has nothing to do but work on your problem. Hamming says it best: “So the way to manage yourself is that when you have a real important problem you don't let anything else get the center of your attention—you keep your thoughts on the problem. Keep your subconscious starved so it has to work on your problem, so you can sleep peacefully and get the answer in the morning, free.”
Rule 10: Leave Your Door Open
Keeping the door to your office closed makes you more productive in the short term. But ten years later, somehow you may not quite know what problems are worth working on, and all the hard work you do will be “sort of tangential” in importance. He (or she) who leaves the door open gets all kinds of interruptions, but he (or she) also occasionally gets clues as to what the world is and what might be important. Again, Hamming deserves to be quoted verbatim: “There is a pretty good correlation between those who work with the doors open and those who ultimately do important things, although people who work with doors closed often work harder. Somehow they seem to work on slightly the wrong thing—not much, but enough that they miss fame.”
In our view, Rule 10 may be the key to getting the best research done because it will help you to obey Rules 1–9, and, most importantly, it will foster group creativity [9]. A discussion over lunch with your colleagues is often worth much more than a trip to the library. However, when choosing your lunchmates (and, by implication, your institution), be on your toes. As Hamming says: “When you talk to other people, you want to get rid of those sound absorbers who are nice people but merely say ‘Oh yes,' and to find those who will stimulate you right back.”

Happy Halloween!
This Halloween, so I can post something really scary! hahaha.
Came across this new pet concept (genpets), although I am working in the biological research field and am myself working on stem cells, I also find it very odd and disgusting.
Could we play God? or should we bother to do it? Especailly for commercial product like this. I admit that if it's a bit more cute maybe I would have a second thought :p but still....that's a bit too much. What do you think?
Everything I think of there are people before me 2
Arrrrrr headache, how come people are so fast?! Starting to worry if it is my problem :>
They are doing what I was planning to do, pack your own fine chocolate box set and includes some my favourite brands :<, but I'm glad I can order through them to cheer up myself and dont need to eat so much by ordering boxes from different brands :>
Alright another great gift idea for the season, huh?
A great relief to be because my favourites are not carried by them...yet..., so maybe I could still start my own store with my choices, heeeeeee :)
Great gift idea for the gifts season
It's the gift giving season again......your purse's ready for the slim up? Mine is complaining about me feeding it with too many junk food (recipts) yet working out too much and drying it up :p, so I decided to join the Dove's campaign for real beauty hahaha.
So, highly recommend this rather low cost but very special present idea :>
Sorry I know I put two unrelated things together :p

Getting inspiration from talks by smart people
Just discovered this site www.ted.com from www.lifehacker.com.
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).
Here's one example, Jacqueline Novogratz is pioneering new ways of tackling poverty. In her view, traditional charity rarely delivers lasting results. Her solution, outlined here through a series of revealing personal stories, is "patient capital": support for "bottom of the pyramid" businesses which the commercial market alone couldn't provide. The result: sustainable jobs, goods, services -- and dignity -- for the world's poorest.

電影《不能說的秘密》Secret
" Follow the notes upon the journey At first sight marks one's destiny
Once the voyage comes to an end Return lies within the hasty keys"
The film is quite surprising, but the music are much more exceptional then the acting :>

Perfect cocktail for ladies :>
My fellow drinkers would know my all time picks are Rose, because of its colour (yes, i'm a visual person :>), that it is a hybrid, and the aroma is so special we cannot find in plain Red / White :>.Dom perignon rose vintage 1996 is always on my wish list :)
Now I found a even more fun way to enjoy champange. In china we have tea that will blossom in hot water, try add this hibiscus flowers into any drink (hot or cold) to make a pretty color and at the same time adding the floral sweetness and the charming look. When's your next party?! Oh, you can buy from here.
Or for those in HK, "yau chi leung bun" also has the marinated dried hibiscus flowers they called it "lok sun fa"! tasty too, I think the shop in Rockville, MD and Chicago chinatown also has it! Ladies, a great snack to keep you pretty :>! Cheers :p!!

Home Sick 想家lu........
It has been 4 days already, really really homesick,but where is my home? Today got to know this song from a friend's blog, although I dont have someone/ something particular to think of but having been floating around for 3 years, I do really hope there are persons or things somewhere some place that could tied my heart and soul to.....a peaceful place that I can rest completely without worrying what will happen the next day. The moment that you wake up, you know exactly what is going on solidly. Here? yes, you can do whatever you like, who cares? but maybe we do want to achieve something that someone who would cares.....maybe I still haven't learn to be independent....yet?!..really wants to hug something called "root" :>
想念 黄淑惠 袁惟仁
我在異鄉的夜半醒來 看著完全陌生的窗外 沒有一盞熟悉的燈可以打開 原來習慣是那麼難改
我在異鄉的街道徘徊 聽著完全陌生的對白 當初那麼多的勇氣讓我離開 我卻連時差都調不回來
我的夜晚是你的白天 當我思念時你正入眠 戴的手錶是你的時間 回想著你疼愛我的臉
我的夜晚是你的白天 當你醒時我夢里相見 只為了和你再見一面 我會不分晝夜的想念

Last drop of the Romance
"Romance is a beautiful women's fragrance that was created as a fragrant ode to the timeless essence of falling in love. Ralph Lauren Romance for women is a sensual essence of velvety woods, extravagant florals, and seductive musk. Romance contains a wonderfully feminine blend of Sungoddess Rose, Marigold, Ginger, Chamomile Oil, Yellow Freesia, White Violet, Lotus Flower, Day Lily, Patchouli, Oakmoss and finally Musk......"Today I finished the last drop of the bottle of Romance from you. Such a milestone to me, it means quite a lot. Don’t worry I know it's completely over to both of us, but just feeling sentimental....and really want to save it for my memory. Sorry if I am selfish on this........
Can you believe it? the bottle actually has lasted for so many years? (5? 6? pls help me with this. I don’t remember it clearly when you gave it to me? I thought it's a Christmas present? Actually you said you would write me journal on every single moments we've been through because you know I have a bad memory :> but I never see it done, hahaha!)
Initially I just think it's intriguing that with a punch line of "the last drop of the Romance....." it could pave way to a wonderful novel......(maybe I will write one but no idea yet for the story plot) :>
The fact that this fragrance's salute to a woman falling in love resonances my feeling......every drop of it did walk through times with me when I am trying to fall in love again.....maybe it's a blessing....or maybe not......it went through with me so many hard times too to understand who I really am, what I truely look for and how I actually think of love....... (indeed just got an email today and it is just what the stars have said :0)
Yes I guess I am now strong enough to truely fall in love again....yet it's almost gone......
Thanks again for it :)!

Hopeful!!!!! A new life goal in mind!
"The month ends on a beautiful note. Jupiter, in your travel sector, will link to Neptune on October 30, a VERY glamorous aspect! Neptune is in your house of true love, a house that also rules all of life's pleasures, so this night should be your best. Book a wonderful restaurant reservation, enjoy a visit to a spa for a massage, or go to a concert or play. Jupiter is in your house of short distance travel, making these two days ideal for a quick trip to another locale. If you can take time off, do so from October 27 through October 31. Wait, there's more!
Your career is about to become a major focus, too, thanks to Mars, now visiting your tenth house of professional status, achievement, and honors. Pay attention to the phone calls and discussions that come up. Life changing possibilities are in the mix - more exciting than you might guess. Proposals will have long-term implications. A promotion or new job may come up quite suddenly - be ready. This emphasis on career is due to extend into May. From now on, when planning your wardrobe for the coming three seasons, allocate more to outfits that you'd wear to work. Work is where you'll be spending most of your time in months to come, and also where you'll be making your biggest and best impressions."
I really have decided on my new life goal, Holistic therapy, hope my dreams could come true! Work for it, yeah!
Hope the things the guy who read my palms said will happen :>
Listen to the stars 2
This will be the Columbus Day three-day holiday weekend in America (October 6 - 8), so it looks like you'll be able to get away if you want to, and enjoy a measure of luxury, too. (Sounds good!)
Romantically, Venus and Saturn will be in the behind-the-scenes sector, conjunct on October 14, a possible low point for a relationship, so if you've been seeing someone secretly, things are not likely to go well this month. Reality will bite and at that point, things may unravel. Next month Venus will move into Libra and overall will be much improved, possibly because you will have left this alliance.

why need to be secretive?
Is it that insecure to reveal everything to others? Or we really do need to keep something just to ourselves? Which way is a proof of exsistence? a proof to whom though? wonders.......
Until I find the answer i would remain my nudity.........

Discipline My Mind
How many insightful conversations you can have by talking to one person in two weeks?
One song one love 3
Il Divo - Mama
Mama thank you for who I am Thank you for all the things I'm not Forgive me for the words unsaid And for the times I forgot Mama remember all my life You showed me love,you sacrificed Think of those young and early days How I've changed Along the way (along the way) Bridge:
And I know you believed And I know you had dreams And I'm sorry it took all this time to see That I am where I am because of your truth And I miss you , I miss you
Mama forgive the times you cried Forgive me for not making right All of the storms I may have caused And I've been wrong Dry your eyes (dry your eyes)
Bridge : Cause I know you .... Mama I hope this makes you smile I hope you're happy with my life At peace with every choice I made How I've changed Along the way (along the way) Cause I know you believed in all of my dreams And I owe it all to you ,mama
前程錦繡
那年一起靜坐抗議 那年一起玩物喪志 那年一起暗戀然後失戀了默默扶持 那年班長競選才學會政治
當走進大社會 奉獻少 罵戰多 相識接著拆夥 朋友仔沒有幾個 幾個 敵人很多 少一個不算少 多一個都太多

Mama thank you for who I am Thank you for all the things I'm not Forgive me for the words unsaid And for the times I forgot Mama remember all my life You showed me love,you sacrificed Think of those young and early days How I've changed Along the way (along the way) Bridge:
And I know you believed And I know you had dreams And I'm sorry it took all this time to see That I am where I am because of your truth And I miss you , I miss you
Mama forgive the times you cried Forgive me for not making right All of the storms I may have caused And I've been wrong Dry your eyes (dry your eyes)
Bridge : Cause I know you .... Mama I hope this makes you smile I hope you're happy with my life At peace with every choice I made How I've changed Along the way (along the way) Cause I know you believed in all of my dreams And I owe it all to you ,mama
前程錦繡
那年一起靜坐抗議 那年一起玩物喪志 那年一起暗戀然後失戀了默默扶持 那年班長競選才學會政治
當走進大社會 奉獻少 罵戰多 相識接著拆夥 朋友仔沒有幾個 幾個 敵人很多 少一個不算少 多一個都太多

Believe in the stars
Dear anna,
Here is your horoscope for Sunday, June 24:
You thought you could change someone by being patient and kind. The truth is, you changed yourself -- and now you see that lingering with this situation is really a waste of your time. Good for you -- now move on.
Monday, June 25th, 2007 PST Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)
Your lack of certainty with respect to a current relationship may cause problems now. Defining boundaries that separate romance from friendship can be confusing at times, even if the ground rules have been firmly established. You may be courting disappointment if you are unwilling to let your feelings flow naturally. Keep in mind that you don't need to share your desires; you simply need to feel them.
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007 PST Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)
You continue to be so sweet and gentle that you can lose yourself in the relationships that rule your life. It's time to let your partner know what you are really feeling. Although there's no need to go overboard, you don't need to be afraid to express your needs. If you don't let others know what you want, they can't know what to give you.

Relay for Life
This the the first long term volunteer activity I have done since I am in USA. Finally seems i can get back to my "normal" life. Although I just joined halfway but I was so glad to be part of it. We had bake sales, hahaha, first time to bake and seeing people are delightfully buying the stuffs a beginner made.
I had never experienced such a respect for research and cancer survivor elsewhere. That night in the luminaries ceremony, i am really really touched! A survivor who had cancer cured in 1975, even before I was born, was there to lead the relay, and lighting of the word "Hope" and all the luminaries around the track; and after sunrise, changing the word to "Cure".........all these symbolics are enforcements on the crazy passions we share. Yes, The power of purple!
Yes it sounds silly to pay so much efforts and time to carry out so many activities yet raising not a huge amount of money, yes we could have sat in a air-conditioned office making phone calls to philanthropist and easily get huge money. However, the touching moments and memories behind every sweat and tear is such a powerful punch to all the participants to pay it forward. Relay for life, be part of it supporting cancer patients on the real track of life!
Thanks for the Royce!!!! I love you!!!!!! xoxo
Thanks for sending me the Royce! Sooo fresh, soooo smooth, I loveee the Prafeuille Chocolat esp, honey honey honey!! It totally cheered me up, delicious delicate food and the love and friendship in you....fills and heals my heart! Million thanks!!!! And now my roomate is in love with Royce too, hahaha, Royce's infectious! Can't wait to hug you in person!!! Thanks honey ;p!!

Fond of trees..suddenly
Anybody has any idea in psychology and could explain what is the underline meaning
Suddenly (I think in these ~2 months?) any art form depicting a tree of life style similar to the tree-of-life by Gustav Klimt would catch my eyes and soul......

Love frozen in time / Love me if you dare
Love me if you dareWas recommended this wickedly touching film (thanks, Will! :p), I watched it by downloading from Unbox in Amazon, thanks to technology, don't need to wait till the DVD is shipped.
Plot Synopsis: As adults, best friends Julien and Sophie continue the odd game they started as children -- a fearless competition to outdo one another with daring and outrageous stunts. While they often act out to relieve one another's pain, their game might be a way to avoid the fact that they are truly meant for one another.
The movie, remind me of this touching news:
Love Frozen in TimeOn Feb 6, 2007, a team of archaeologists found the skeletons of a couple who were buried in hugging pose 5000-years ago in Mantau, a northern city of Italy. The archaeologists are trying to dig the whole turf in one piece so as to preserve the pose. The skeletons will eventually went on display in a museum in Mantau after data is extracted for research.
Mantau is only 25 miles south of Verona, the city where Shakespeare set the story of Romeo and Juliet. And Romeo had been sent to Mantau for a sword fight. Could they be playing dare at that time? :)

notes to myself: Switzerland or southern Italy...............

一分鐘愛情保鮮法 1 minute "asiprin on flowers" for love
朋友給我講了一分鐘保鮮法：她做飯時，你從背後擁抱她一分鐘。讓她感覺你很愛她，所以，她做起飯來就會心甘情願，並且特別快樂；上床時，花一分鐘給她講個幽默小段子。這樣，她就會覺得你是個有趣的男人，而且她會因為你的幽默變得特別興奮，不至於結婚才三年，做愛就像刷牙；鼓勵她每天化粧，你儘量含情脈脈地看著她，讓她覺得好像是初戀；再花一分鐘跟她一起去陽臺上看看風景，只要一分鐘就可以。她會覺得，你還沒有失去最初的浪漫。 其實每天不過五分鐘，不，哪怕每天只做一個一分鐘，愛情就會保鮮了。

The "Magic" cure for every disease -- Vitamin M
Hottest news today and forever:
The truth revealed -- Dr. "Snoopy" (pronounced very slowly in cantonese, please), a postdoc from UTWC (University of Toilet, WC :>) made an announcement to the world her biggest breakthrough discovery: The most versatile, powerful and ultimate cure for various diseases and the only supplement most people in this world need: Vitamin M, M for $$ not folic acid, haha :> Every scholars agree that this is the truth. And it is exceptionally, first time in history, approved (without any clincal trial) in every single country.
Scientifically proven to have no side effects, the higher dose you take the better, no daily limits. You may not need it, but you cannot be out of it. Vit M is produced in every country with formulas most suitable for their own people, but can be trade internationally. However, accessiblity is not equal, generally people who have more vit M in stock, get it more easily and because it never expires they will keep it, and never offered in a discounted price. Not only is it powerful on treating illness, world peace could possibly be attained if resources for it are equal!
Form: liquid -- $$ on hand
solid -- properties (but could make you loose it)
How to make it: Various ways - cheat, rob, steal, beg...... easiest and most fortunate: inherit from parents/relatives, but the dullest, yet most common: WORK!!
Symptoms for insufficiency: everything bad - depression, broken relationship, sickness, tempers, bad human natures revealed
Shown below some varieties offered in the market (I'm eager for all of them, :p):
