There has been a lot of evidences that human might have lived with dinosaurs in ancient time. That's pretty interesting!
All evidences were found from ancient paintings such as human riding on creatures that look like dinosaurs and etc.
Also, it is believed that in ancient China there was dragon! The dragon has 9 children. Each child possess different outlook and characteristics! For e.g. some of them like eating very much, some of them like drinking very much, some of them like fire very much, some of them like fighting very much and so on. Now some scholars said that these 9 children of dragon are most likely dinosaurs!
In one ancient China scripture "Shan Hai Jing" (山海经) even talks about dragon transport for human! These saying matches some legends that ancient emperors of China normally travelled by riding on dragons!
Also, a lot of Chinese ancient legends are strange to modern people like us. For e.g. there is a saying that Dragon is actually a spaceship. It spits fire, it has scale, it can fly! Does not it sound like spaceship? The fire to push spaceship forward, its scale to cool its body down, and it flies!
Well all these are yet to be proved with more supporting archeological findings!

推广华文惠及世界！
看到了一些外国人在中国生活的相关文章，就觉得中国地位着实提高了，吸引了世界各地各色人种来淘金。
这不但能促进中国与各国的文化交流，更重要的是能推广华文的国际地位！就像每一个到美国谋生的外国人需懂得英语一样，如果每个去中国的外国人都努力学习华文，那么以华文为母语者必能得利！就像英美澳纽加等国人无需浪费时间资源学习外语般！善用剩下的时间资源来促进社会发展！国家将更迅速强大！
想想，无需学习外语将为大家省下了多少的时间！利用母语来学习各科知识更为可靠实用！
当然，外国人既要到中国谋生或吃喝玩乐（黄赌毒等），当然也要融入中国社会，努力学习汉语华语！！！
期待更多外国人把汉语当成首席外语！这将显示了中华文化的软实力、巧实力！

Terrible Project, Terrible Day
Bad news hit me last Thursday, i would have to help out in a Proof of Concept(POC) project for a famous Telco company in Malaysia!
I went to the meeting place in the morning. Met with new teammates. Obviously everyone was still trying to adapt to this adhoc situation.
On the first day, I was spending the whole day getting help from a few experts to set up the development and testing environment. They helped me to install IBM Websphere Portal Server, IBM Rational Software Architect for Websphere and etc. All these are resource hungry giants. They made the computer to run so slow! Also, in order to make sure i am developing on the same environment, they migrated their Virtual Machine Image to another laptop that has higher spec than my computer.
I started building simple stuff the second day. After several trials and errors, i managed to build and test run the first portlet! This is my first ever portlet that i built in my life! I was excited and i thought mission completed. Well, demand is never enough. I was assigned a few more tasks and my attendence was expected the next day.
On Friday the POC initiator expected to wrap up everything so that the sales team is able to present a nice thing to the potential client! I was thinking things were done so hurrily the quality will surely does not meet client's expectation. In the end i managed to built 4 portlets: some with static data, some queries data from the DB2 database. During the migration of my war file to the core laptop which one of the technical sales guy is going to use to present to the client, i was facing some database connection issue. Well that was easily solved. After that i was asked to enhance the UI on the portlet. Man! what is this! The scope of work will never end?! It's too much!
I kept quiet and finally completed my tasks at 2am in the morning. After that the technical sales guy was able to ping from A machine's VM to B machine's VM! Double good news! He said i stayed to help and that boost his morale and actually i did not find out the solution. It's him who found it.
I learnt a lot of things in this POC project. I learned how to use Rational Software Architect for Websphere to build portlet. I learned how to deploy a portlet using Websphere Portal Server. Also i have explored a few good features in the WPS. I also learned a lot of things on Virtual Machine. The idea of using Virtual Machine is cool. The Virtual Machine helps each developer to counter the barrier of different development & testing environment. It can reduce unexpected events especially due to environment setup when you are demoing your application to your client!
My teammates also shared some valuable stories with me. For e.g. the technical sales guy told me this is also his worst ever project in our company. Normally some other POC projects are simple. I was considered very unfortunate to get involved in this.
Anyway, i don't really like this kind of ad-hoc call up for help. I hope this is my first time and last time doing this shit. At least please tell me one week earlier, and also let me know the overall plan so that i can get ready.
I still prefer a plan. Hurry can't help win a client.

公平的政治制度
来探讨一个公平的政治制度，有效的分配利益于所有的团体，而非只盲目的服从多数人的利益。
现在的中国大陆最适合发明及实践这一种优良制度，一该数千年来纷纷扰扰、战争不断的历史，全民得利，万象更新！
民主制度当然是一个很好的选择，又很实用，因有美国为例。
最重要的是共产党政府能允许各利益方如士农工商等成立各自的团体以与政府定期讨论各自的问题并检讨政策，这样共产党即能维持统治利益而人民也有所得，何乐而不为呢？该以经济为主，因为人人要的还不就是安居乐业！看看新加坡，选举永远只是个幌子，李氏父子统治了数十年，有人反抗么？我跟你说其反对力量微弱无比。人民乐于现况则不理民主与否，那些不能解决吃拉问题的东西关我屁事？
政治制度公平，大多数人都有所得，谁会阻止你继续当政府？！

馬來西亞華教元老沈慕羽先生過世!
沈老先生, 一路走好!
看这
沈老先生这一生为马来西亚华文教育打拼，甚至为了捍卫华文教育而遭马华工会开除及后期被送入内安法令扣留营也在所不惜！
他于96岁高龄而走，也算是一大喜事了！
我深深为沈老的气节折服，他乃我们马来西亚华裔子弟的榜样！他的精神值得学习。
我们该永远悼念他！
在马来西亚金马士（gemas）已有一个沈慕羽纪念馆，我打算在下一次回乡时拜访此馆。那馆就在我回家乡的路途中，对我而言非常方便。
如您也想参观，可以看这里。

Shame on Jamaluddin Radzi & Osman Mohd Jailu
These 2 guys! Are not they shameful of their deed? How could they face the people that have selected them as ADUN!!!
Well, i think after this 'politic frog' incident, the corruption charge against them will be dropped!
Someone would order the Anti Corruption Agency to drop the charge against these 2 guys after this!
Dirty!!!
Disappointing!!!

中国-美国新政府的新敌！？
奥巴马上台后，处处对中国呛声！
首先是声称中国政府刻意压低人民币汇率以利其出口。
其次还有各种针对包括人权、西藏问题等等的攻击。
奥巴马政府也呼吁伊斯兰世界别把美国当作敌人，释放出浓浓的善意。
看来，奥巴马政府要转换策略，把首席敌人从伊斯兰极端恐怖分子换成中国了。
这真令人百思不得其解，中国共产党政府虽然还有很多缺点，却秉持和平崛起的政策，欲维护国内政权唯恐不及，哪还会去侵害美国的利益。
反而我觉得伊斯兰教极端分子才是全球人类的公敌！这堆人想建立一个大伊斯兰教帝国！真可怕！该诛之！该诛之！

Production Rolleout on Fire
Following the unsuccessful production rollout for WBIA for Kenan on December 2008, the client has put a more business knowledge rich human resource to verify the screwed-up production data. Also she has informed me what to change and what not to change. I have also fixed the problem where a 'dynamic' database connection is not 'cached'.
This morning we reached office before 6am. I packed for McDonald's big breakfast. So far no bad news. I think this time the production rollout will go very well.

信息行业的华文应用情况
有幸读了数位作者们对华文受英文影响而且日渐泛滥的文章。我也想谈谈我从事的行业的华文应用情况。
本地的私人企业界都倾向使用英语沟通。口头上、书面上皆如此。
在本地，这行业的各种用语，尤其是技术方面的，多数是华洋参杂的。从事这行的人开口闭口都是中英文参杂在一块。开会也好，简单的讨论也好，你很难听得倒一整段纯华文的句子。文献方面要使用纯华文也有难度，通常都需要使用英语来辅助所要表达的东西。
本来以为只有在马来西亚才会如次，哪知在中国大陆也是如此。只要去看看他们的信息行业顶尖著名网站就知道了。你很难在整个网站找到纯华文文章。
为什么呢？
因为在信息工程行业，有很多的术语都是英语从别的语言演化而来的。例子有youtube, google, java等等。这是由于欧美企业在信息行业都是先驱！诸如IBM、HP、Sun Microsystem 等信息行业技术先驱都是来自美国。当他们发明了一堆东西而为其命名，是没有考虑到其他的语言的。虽然中国在这方面急起直追，最近几年涌现了很多的著名企业如百度、阿里巴巴等。但他们都是应用已经存在市场的技术，而非技术创新者，而创新者才会为其产品命名。很多这些新术语在英语界是没出现过的。由于变化太快，在这方面，相应的华文词汇的确是很难跟进。而且因为是新术语，业界很难为这些新词汇找到相应的华文词汇，除非是直接译音，但直接译音又很别扭，会对讨论造成不便，托慢了项目的速度，这对时间就是金钱的信息行业是一种严酷的考验。然后，并不是每一个公司都会像“谷歌”那样为自己定下一个华文名。
诸如此类的例子随手可得。除了在信息行业外，还有一些职务如CEO等名词常常出现在各种华文文章。
这种现象很令人担忧，大量运用英语词汇将使华文前景堪忧。还望全球华文媒体或文化机构能重视此问题。
我的建议是尽量请汉学和相关领域权威造新词并大力推广。新词汇必须简洁易记，再不然就提供个短写如国民生产总值可以有一个短写“国值”等。
请务必考虑我的建议。谢谢。

推背图及宇宙法则
听说推背图有六十象，每一象都预测自中国唐朝以来世界上的每一件大事。不仅如此，它也是中国历来众多的预言中最“宏观”（国际观）及时间点（预测的时间）最长的。
据说推背图作者乃袁天罡及李淳风。这两人都是唐太宗时期的顶尖术士，擅易经及观天象之术，应该是智商蛮高的天才。他们掌握当时中国的科学（玄学）的深奥知识，可能因此而深入发现了宇宙规则之密，进而习得推敲预测法。
推背图与刘伯温的烧饼歌在中华民国十五年之前是禁书。
当然，诸如此类的预言通常皆非常笼统、模糊。因为你要以自身的知识范围来了解推背图的每一图、每一个谶、每一个讼。情况有点像人人预测法国名预言家诺斯拉达姆斯的预言诗一样，从什么角度来看那首诗就得到了怎样的体验。我说，准确率并不可靠。
无论如何，推背图并不像其他文明的预言般悲观，基本上它说明了人类都有希望更上一层楼！而且听说最后预言了未来的世界是犹太文明对决中华文明，这种论调似乎有点夜郎自大（因为是华人说的），有点令人啼笑皆非。但是我并不知道此人当时话出时是否拥有此想。只是地球上有太多不同的优秀文明，所以此举有矮化忽视其他文明之嫌。
个人觉得，伏羲及牛顿都是我所认识的古人中最伟大的。一个创八卦，一个则发现了各种自然现象法则！当然，也不是说全球历来只有他们两个，总而言之，发现宇宙运行原理的人都是伟大的。
当今的数学方程式提供了很好的管道与全人类共同继续发现及掌握宇宙的真理，现在不能解释的东西，未来并非不可能没一个解释。方程式会随着越来越多的“发现”而变得越丰富！
等着这一天的到来！

強國之路
最近看了“大国崛起”纪录片，精彩极了！ 里面说到从航海家时代起的各国如何崛起的经过，值得现代中国参考。
个人觉得，如果中国要确保长期强盛，首先需提供良好公民教育。所有公民都受良好教育了，社会风气就会良好，人人皆有奋发向上的态度，最重要的是也掌握了继续快步向前进的有效方法。
届时，该不会常看到有人随处吐痰大声喧哗等等陋习了吧。。。教育进步了，人民耻辱感重，就会戒了陋习，尤其是贪污。。。非除不可！
还有，国家强盛与否，科研投入也很重要。不重视科研就死路一条，被他国吃定了！看看19世纪欧美各国科研风气盛行，科技产品如发动机火车等等使社会生产力倍增，进而经济发达，国家富强。既然有前车可鉴，所以中国往科技做决不会错！
科技必能扭转一个产业的运作形态！如有人能发明以水当汽油发动汽车那么整个经济与社会形态必将转变！掌握此技术之国将占有先机，必先得利！
除了科技，社会也需稳定，前提乃国家要照顾到各利益团体，如士农工商等等。多党民主制是可行的方法，但有其风险，有待验证，小心为上才好。而在这个阶段，我建议共产党政府允许各“职业”阶层成立团体，定期讨论各自的问题。共产党需虚心聆听以解决问题，那么他们的政权就会稳了，而对中国也没什么不好。。。
人人都想安居乐业就够了。。。
听说中国有个“农民工”阶层，这不太健康，因有违人人平等的精神！中国政府该增加城市吸纳这个阶级的人，而非将他们分类以控制城市人口。在此阶段有此策略无可厚非，望是暂时而已。中国经济正面临挑战，农民工首当其冲，身受其害者众，如共产党政府无法控制他们，中国完蛋了！
再来动荡不安，就再落后几十年了。
