Some updates

I haven't had a chance to update the blog lately but here are some new developments. 1. Ongoing China and U.S. conflicts in South China Sea. 2. Downtown Vancouver Viaducts removal approved. 3. Justin Trudeau got elected as the Prime Minister of Canada. 4. Astronomical housing price and bubble remains in Vancouver, Some personal developments. 1. I now try to play badminton as much as possible, 4 times a week minimum to a maximum of 5 times a week. Badminton is very nice sport which allows you not only to remain focused while playing but also to run around on court and hit at the birdie shuttle. I find it a great stress relief. 2. After almost a year of relationship with this girl I was dating we broke off back in July. We broke off partly because of her hot temperament and being too judgemental, partly because of me being too naive, and cannot foresee something greater coming out of this relationship. speed_demon

情异

相爱容易相处难 体量体贴慢慢来 赌气伤身容忍无 最终领悟爱回迟 单身从起遗恨谁

家园

父母爱子，牺牲一切 儿女照老，理所当然 男女互爱，温家永恒 岁月相应，白头偕老

A new revelation and outlook

I no longer attend the group of deception and lies. Although I still join the weekly badminton event every Saturday afternoon at Badminton Vancouver because I enjoy badminton greatly. It's one of the very few sports I like and can excel in.

I have also joined a younger group and play with them weekly Sunday night and making new friends. They are energetic and kind and not deceptive as the old, bitter divorcee from the older group. They are more youthful and down to earth, which really is who I am. I am really glad that I have found somewhere I belong in Vancouver!

Looking back at this summer 2013. I really did enjoy every moment of it. Although I didn't actively chasing after superficial girls and princesses, I did grow myself personally and the seed did sprout to something better than ever. For once, I finally know what's work life balances, and for once I finally dare myself enough to drive to Tofino and to Powell River, Lund all from Vancouver. These experiences truly amazed that little frog of mine, sitting at the bottom of a tiny well until it leapt great forward and escaped from the bottomless abyss.

I thank God for protecting me all the way throughout these travesties and adventures, especially for what I have done in Cancun. You really protected me all the way, and I will be the witness of your everlasting grace and tolerance until the end of the time!

快樂過著就挺好了。。。

我實實在在覺得一個人自己過得快樂就好了。雖然還是單身但是現在金錢與時間都很充分，也有一個穩定工作，而且喜歡自己做自己的事，這我想是在好都不過的。

一個人就別太虛榮，別太挑剔，要不會引起嫉妒與討厭。現在我一週打十五小時以內羽毛球，實在是很佩服自己都三十多了還有這種體格。其他朋友也是嫉妒，只不過他們不說而已。這夏天爬Grouse Grind最好爬了５３分鐘。是我往常最好的一次！今年去了將近五次，每一次都是５７分鐘一下，真牛b！

之前有個個性很奇怪朋友，可能就是自己體格年齡３５沒那麼好所以後來想跟他聯絡他都不接，不接就算了。你自己脾氣不好，個性差，體格不好就不要把自己捆綁住。我雖然有時候罵髒話不過我還是設法與朋友交往，這才是王道！

之前我說的那位公主，結果一年下來還是單身。聽說他真的很挑。挑就挑吧，反正女生比男生老的快，男生比女生更有利！每次短信跟他說出來吃飯或喝咖啡都找藉口。我好朋友說叫我別裡你這是真的。其實我也懶得跟你浪費青春，金錢與時間。就讓你自生自滅吧。。。

Meeting people

Getting to know more people is really not easy and I should really cherish the conduits I have over meeting people. Yet, I sometimes despise pretence and that very childish conundrum especially meeting the opposite sex. Of course, if I want to be smart I should just lie and speak of misconception and appropriate jargons to attract their attention, but what would be good of that when we decide we're for each other?

This confounding question has really gotten onto my nerve these few days, as I get to know more people from China. My thesis has proven to be right again and again as these women and men called themselves single yet hide away the very essence why they're still single at such an old age as if their previous marriage were a shame not to be spoken of. Of course this would only have surfaced when they realized that they were not meant for each other after pretence has been discovered after courtship.

I'm now tired and frankly don't have time for these childhood gestures. Hopefully, that shiny star still awaits arrival of dusk over the event horizon. ;)

連累

為什麼有些女生比較主動與勤快卻有些女生比較被動呢？
為什麼有些女生必須以公主來看待卻有些可以自制呢也不需要花費太多心思與保養。。。

恐怖的公主們

最近真的接触到很多公主们，经过此接触才能深深的体会到什么是公主病，为什么男人得避免这公主病。 上星期三我就开始计划这礼拜六去Squamish Chief健行的路程。因为不想单独一个人去（虽然可以一个人去）所以发了n个短信给认识朋友们，看看有没有人想一起去。星期五来到终于有几位朋友感兴趣。一位女性朋友说着说着想要来却又找借口说这个不好，那个不好。我最后一气之下还是说你别来好，因为我实在无法忍受你的折腾。 我个人认为现在大陆的一胎政策真的带来很多有公主病的独身女，照成男们人极大的痛苦与打击。 男人啊，就为了那天鹅肉而失去了自尊，话的来吗？ 我现在也想开了，为了那严重公主病而付出将来是绝对不值得。。。

Chinese way of things

I'm now meeting people from China regularly on a weekly basis on a pretentious note of friendship and all, but of course my motive is to meet the other half and carry on life's procreation and fertilization of continuation of our spieces, but I would have never imagined that it would be this long and the road would be this treacherous...

Hopefully it'll happen someday. Until then I would need a car (check) and a place to live (not there yet), and abide by the Chinese traditions of husband provides for wife and family, gosh, I hated this!

I've been practice my singing this place, which advertise itself as a car repair shop but secretly allow people to congregate and have fun. This for sure fits Chinese proverb of hanging a goat's head but in fact sell dog meat. That's usually the Chinese mentality when opening business with the intention of profit maximization...

Once again, I'm alive and well except the hectic work schedule...

It's about time I go back to blogging!

People from mainland congregate together mostly so how can we establish multiculturalism when we resist at being one?

Maybe I'm resistant to love and being loved!

You ever had this feeling? I have!

Yes, I know. First post after God knows when...

The dawn of a new beginning

Every end is the dawn of a new beginning. Alas, I shall soon break free this hollow enclosure and pretentious relationship and blossom until eons end.

I've not been entirely true to myself

We are all inherently weak. Human, by nature, is prone to temptation, desire, vanity, and immunity is not guaranteed. It is a disease that has plagued humanity for eons and as such has brought forth advances in psychology, biomedicine, and engineering to overcome such hurdle, hurdle to temptation and desire. You may be more inclined to one form of sin than the others, e.g., wealth and money for those who strive for the abysmal satisfaction of upper class accessories, knowledge and publications for those who strive for higher education or faculty/research position, relationship and intangible love for those who desires breakthrough in singleness or loneliness, fame and recognition for those who can't escape the thought that they must achieve what Andy Warhol's 15 minutes of fame. Irrespective to which rabbit holes we would like to tumble we are all ultimately the victim of our true self, and how one shall overcome is a must, but that is not for us to decide.

I'm the victim of my own self, which I've not been entirely true to myself. I have been daydreaming in this wonderland which I've built from ground up. Day by day since end of March I've been laying bricks, block by block, layer by layer until I have almost construct a perfect seemingly impregnable little room which I am willing to spend my life in eternity. That is very dangerous until recently, like today, the unforeseeable happened - that room was firmly built and I was pushed in from the outside, by a force so great, that I could not resist. All the way until I realize this is not what God intended me to do, and it is how the destruction will carry on if I insist so.

"Let go, you will survive and you will be stronger than ever," says He the Almighty. And, from that moment on I truly realize once again how weak are we human beings. How a little thing such as one-way street can be blown out of proportions, by your incompetent formulation of what relationship is supposed to be.

I'm shattered and I've not been true to myself. Hopefully, I will wake up and mend the gashing wound until it is fully healed. Until then, God be with me and everything will follow for the faithfulness can bring you joyful bountiful everlasting content beyond your imagination.

A giant leap forward on human rights in China

I'm sure everyone of you who's following the mainstream media will inevitably stumble upon the news that Liu Xiaobo, an ethnic Chinese who advocates human rights in China for the past 20 years, has been awarded the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize. In the Middle Kingdom where a citizen's right is extended by his/hers connection to the Politburo and/or the amount of bribery he/she pays in the event of injustice, this good news comes as a giant leap forward for the land of 1.3 billion. The Nobel Prize represents hope and relief to the brothers and sisters who continuously struggle for unequivocal rights for all of its citizens in a country where authoritarian rule is still absolute. Especially when they are wronged daily by the very system which brought them up and indoctrinate their thoughts with skewed beliefs, the Prize comes as a soothing remedy to all the years of harshness, brainwashing, and isolation from the "real world."

Hopefully, one day China will be more lenient on human rights and those rights of individual who wants neither discrimination nor abomination for the work, religious affiliation, or belief they have. Until then, more people like Liu Xiaobo is a must in this country of 1.3 billion, who is not there to abide by the authoritarian rule but rather to challenge the system and to let the Politburo knows that its citizen is not afraid of advocating unequivocal rights, including but not limited to freedom of speech, assembly, and religion.

I, for one thing in this very October 2010, is proud of being a Chinese, even if that China is from across the strait. I also have not given up the notion of peaceful reunification, which may just occur in the foreseeable future when one day unequivocal rights is no longer an ideology amongst the thoughts of the Chinese dissidents in the Mainland, but rather an exercisable reality in the very Middle Kingdom itself!

周杰伦 - 雨下一整晚

作词：方文山 作曲：周杰伦

街灯下的橱窗 有一种落寞的温暖
吐气在玻璃上 画着你的模样
开着车漫无目的的转弯 不知要去哪个地方
闹区的电视墙 到底有谁在看

白杨木影子被拉长
像我对你的思念走不完
原来我从未习惯 你已不在我身旁
街道的铁门被拉上
只剩转角霓虹灯还在闪
这城市 的小巷 雨下一整晚

你撑把小纸伞 叹姻缘太婉转
雨落下雾茫茫 问天涯在何方
午夜笛 笛声残 偷偷透 透过窗
烛台前 我嘛还在想
小舢舨 划呀划 小纸伞 遮雨也遮月光

白杨木影子被拉长
像我对你的思念走不完
原来我从未习惯 你已不在我身旁
街道的铁门被拉上
只剩转角霓虹灯还在闪
这城市 的小巷 雨下一整晚

周杰倫 - 超人不會飛

周杰倫 - 超人不會飛

主唱：周杰倫
作曲：周杰倫
填詞：周杰倫

媽媽說 很多事別太計較
只是使命感找到了我我睡不著
如果說罵人要有點技巧
我會加點旋律你會覺得　超屌
我的槍不會裝彈藥
所以放心不會有人倒
我拍青鋒俠不需要替身
因為自信是我繪畫的顏料

我做很多事背後的意義遠比你們想像
拍個電視劇為了友情與十年前的夢想
收視率再高也難抗衡我的偉大理想
因為我的人生無需再多一筆那獎項
我不知道何時變成了社會的那榜樣
被狗仔拍不能比中指耍大器模樣

我唱的歌詞要有點文化
因為隨時會被當教材
CNN能不能等英文好一點再訪
時代雜誌封面能不能重拍
隨時隨地注意形象
要控制飲食不然就跟杜莎夫人蠟像的我不像
好萊塢的中國戲院地上有很多手印腳印
何時才能看見我的掌

＊如果超人會飛　那就讓我在空中停一停歇
　再次俯瞰這個世界　會讓我覺得好一些
　拯救地球好累　雖然有些疲憊但我還是會
　不要問我哭過了沒　因為超人不能流眼淚＊

唱歌要拿最佳男歌手
拍電影也不能只拿個最佳新人
你不參加頒獎典禮就是沒禮貌
你去參加就是代表你很在乎
得獎時你感動落淚
人家就會覺得你誇張做作
你沒表情別人就會說太囂張
如果你天生這表情
那些人甚至會怪你媽媽
結果最後是別人在得獎
你也要給予充分的掌聲與微笑
開的車不能太好　住的樓不能太高
我到底是一個創作歌手還是好人好事代表
專輯一出就必須是冠軍
拍了電影就必須要大賣
只能說當超人真的好難

Repeat＊

Rock is fucking dead

Fucking classic rock industrial music from my beloved Marilyn Mason.

"Rock Is Dead"

All simple monkeys with alien babies
Amphetamines for boys
Crucifixes for ladies
Sampled and soulless
Worldwide and real webbed
You sell all the living
For more safer dead

Anything to belong

[Chorus:]
Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that were fed
So fuck all your protests and put them to bed

God is in the T.V.

1,000 mothers are praying for it
We're so full of hope
And so full of shit
Build a new god to medicate and to ape
Sell us ersatz dressed up and real fake

Anything to belong

Rock is deader than dead

[Chorus repeat]

God is in the T.V.

Fucking loose yourself!

Sixty-one million viewers can't be wrong, you know? ;)

So, go nuts!

Title: Eminem - Loose Yourself lyrics

Artist: Eminem Lyrics

Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip?

Yo, His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out, time's up, over bloah
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
No, he won't have it , he knows his whole back city ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap s**t
Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo,

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,

His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortom
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
These ho's don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it’s old partner, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go-o
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo, you better

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this m*********n roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these g****m food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Makai Pheiffer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter-totter caught up between bein a father and a pre-madonna
Baby mama drama's screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only m*********n option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not this may be the only opportunity that I got

[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

A movie on Facebook

How hilarious! Now, remind me again why would I want to waste time on social networking? It's like World of Warcraft, online video games and other social networking bullshit which are their so that humanity can have a sense of closure and belonging in this ever isolating age of digital electronics. I have said many times. Need I say more?

No, I'm not planing to open a Facebook account or any other "social networking" accounts except Orkut, which I accidentally enrolled in thanks to invasion of privacy from Google. Yes, you may enjoy the following preview, and no I'll not spend precious $11 watching this bullshit.

极品男人的十大重要特征【图】

An article in Chinese from Lao Nan Ren, on what are the ten most important aspects of being a perfect gentlemen. I'm still far away from it. :D

speed_demon

文章概要：懂得把握平衡原则的人在多么紧张工作的情况下，都知道该怎样调节自己的生活节奏，怎么体味生活中的情调和趣味，保有一种从容的心态和风度。在成功几乎成为衡量男人的最大标准的今天，失衡的生活就像漂亮的塑料盆景，外表的风景再美，也掩盖不了背面的粗糙。

上品男人不能说有，但是的确少见，在这里只小谈一下上品男人的十大心理特质，积极创造人生……

一、品格： 积极创造人生，善於适应环境，有良好的人际关系，对爱人极其温柔，很自信并且要有强烈的道德观念。

二、健康： 包括生理健康和心理健康，首先五官要端正，声音要悦耳，头发要好，口腔要清洁，双腿要直，个头最起码要在176CM～185CM之间，外观要整洁，这是给人视觉美的一个前提，射精量应达到5ml，科学鉴定认为这是前列腺健康的最直接表现，身体要左右完美对称，视力要好，要有平衡的肌肉力量，同时，要拥有健康的社会联系。

三、幽默： 熟话说，女人要优雅男人要幽默，从一个人的幽默中可以品味出一种独特的机智，男人的幽默就像一口泉，智慧之水在涌动中展示魅力，让女人总想捧一口来尝一尝。

四、财富： 男人不一定是成功男士，但是男人要有财富，并且男人财富源于自己喜欢做的事业，这是智商的标志，这样他才会投入生活并且有快乐的感觉，我个人认为，老婆、孩子、家庭就是一个男人终身要经营好的事业!

五、平衡： 工作和生活的平衡、事业和家庭的平衡、外界和自我的平衡。懂得把握平衡原则的人在多么紧张工作的情况下，都知道该怎样调节自己的生活节奏，怎么体味生活中的情调和趣味，保有一种从容的心态和风度。在成功几乎成为衡量男人的最大标准的今天，失衡的生活就像漂亮的塑料盆景，外表的风景再美，也掩盖不了背面的粗糙。

六、要有涵养： 在男性一生所扮演的角色当中，不可避免地受到竞争所带来的心理压力，同时也更容易受到一些心理健康方面的困扰。但是他们会调整好心态，重新面对竞争和压力，懂得自我宣泄。

七、要有文采：自古就有才子佳人”有说法，虽然不至于学富五车，有妙笔生花之才学，也要有思辩的头脑和恰倒好处的诙谐。

八、风度： 我始终认为，风度是与生俱来的一种气质，男人的风度不仅仅表现在果敢与坚决，更表现的是谦虚与忍让的智慧。

九、骨气： 代表的是一种精神，从容大方，要有一定的情感原则，对感情要负责任，不必重言承诺，即使他是一个专职丈夫，也不失男人的本色，如果男人的精神已经垮掉，外表无论如何美都“帅”不起来。

十、家庭： 男人在本质上是用头脑去思考爱情(当然，他们也有感情，但感情服从于头脑)，上品男人的爱情尽管是多姿态多彩的，但是他如果没有一个幸福的家庭，他就是一个彻底失败的男人。
