  • Out of country notice

    Notice

    I will be in Singapore from May 9th to 15th. I will be not available to BT because GPRS roaming is too expensive. But I will try to keep up with you guys.

    Cheerio!

  • 直指人心,见性成佛

    我必须用中文来写这篇文章——因为对于不是以英语为母语的我来说,写一篇读后感难度还是稍微大了一些。

    4月24号的时候,我和老彼得一起到上海去接我太太回国。她的航班是25号的,我和老彼得提前一天到,在上海的家里呆一天,也能顺便逛逛福州路。

    从地下车库泊好车上来后,对面就是上海书城。我和老彼得一起进去为他挑几本书。在二楼,我看到书城正在办一个活动:《贫民窟的百万富翁》(Slumdog Millionaire)作者现场签售活动。当时的队伍还是很长的,而一位典型的印度人正坐在台子前为每位购买了书的读者签字。

  • Got to write something

    It has been a long time since my last post. Not because there is nothing to write, but too much to write on.

    • My trip to Zhangjiajie (张家界) and Fenghuang (凤凰)

    During Apr 16th and 19th, I was in Zhangjiajie/Fenghuang with my colleagues. It is an annual event when company acknowledges the employees\’ contribution in a fairly material way. For me, this trip is a tragedy:

  • My plan in FY1011

    In my previous post published around a year ago, I had listed down 3 major things that I would like to complete in FY0910:

  • Now an era is over (or just began?)

    Google.cn is now redirected to google.com.hk. It is a clear message from Google, which I quote:

  • Is Google.cn really going to pull out China?

    A BTer just said in The group that Google wiil no later than today to announce it’s decision to pull out its China operation. I am keeping a view on it.

    Nevertheless, it will mark a giant milestone in China’s Internet (or, to be more precise, Intranet) history.

  • 杯具的一本词典

    最近刚刚买了一本词典:Oxford Advanced Learner\’s Dictionary

    我对牛津词典一向是很信任的,所以在当当上也没有做太多的比较,就买了这本。

    到手后看了一下,发现这本词典的名字很具有误导性。

  • I do solemnly declare…

    The rumor came about a few days ago: Google will pull out its China operation and the site dedicated for China.

    Well, the final result is not out yet. But I would like to make my personal statement here:

  • 老彼得三下的第一张奖状

    老彼得今天捧回一张奖状,是校“阅读之星”。根据我这里不完全的统计,他在1-2月份的寒假期间看了不少的书呢。

    每次我在他的读书成长手册上都会写上几乎同样的一句话: 多读书,读好书!

  • 老彼得背书

    老彼得今天晚上要背书,要背的内容是第二课的2、3自然段。不知怎的,他好像突然卡壳了——要知道,他平时可是从来不惧怕背书的。

    眼看已经9点过了,我要他休息,明天早上起来背书。他哭了起来,抽噎着说明天早上来不及了。我跟他讲了很多道理:现在是休息时间了,大脑开始休息,这样背书效果不会好;明天早上起来,趁脑子清醒的时候,可以背……他还是不buy我的story。
