Brain Break

Long before my professor Jack Wu told me that taking break out of your life is vital for your well being, but how? Does sleep works? Does vacation works? Do what you like most work? Not at all! Take 5 minutes break from your body and brain are the best. But when you force your brain not to think, you are actually thinking not to think. I am talking about here is 5 minutes of blank and relaxation of your life, let say one a week is a luxury and the best medication in the world. Since I realize the importance of that, I have never able to do that. When you sleep, you are dreaming, thinking about what you did today and the exciting about what you have tomorrow. When can I really take a REAL 5 minutes break to my brain, no thinking, no dreaming, no stressing, no pressure, simply nothing? As he always say, knowledge brings you food, intelligence brings you wealth; wisdom beings you happiness. Someone might never achieve the last phrase, Have you?

Someday, she will be gone and you will realize you can no longer to repay her for everything she has done for you. When you still can, you should love her as you ever did.

Olympics 2008

Final it is over. I can’t wait to watch the closing ceremony on TV even tough I have already known the plot. I am very proud of China to make this Olympics the best ever. The only flaw is the entire fake incidents. We really don't. We don't need those to earn to be the best. We can do it. If really want to be as strong as respect. We need to show our altitudes of real us. Chinese has nothing to be ashamed of. Lets show people our real face and earn the world true respect. Who can create such a wonderful Olympics Game?

Woodside Park

I remember when I was young. A/C wasn’t that proper among our class. Living in public housing without A/C, every night in summer, my father brought me to the neighborhood park. I enjoyed a lot because I could have ice bar, toys, playing around park and those memories stay with me forever. I was at the park today, the park I always went after my family moved to Japan. This year has given me a lot of chances to think about myself and all my love ones. Kids were bicycling all over me. I was studying Japanese. The memories of my mom flash back. When I was around 13 years old, my mom always brought me to Tai Po and rented me a bicycle and watched me to play by myself. I don’t think I will do that anymore with my mom. But I will love to do this with my son. I think my mom miss those moments a lot. An Indian boy just passed in front of me. Her mom was accompanying with him. Her son was riding on the bike just like me when I was young and her mom was just like my mom. I enjoyed a lot to look at them, I saw myself when I was young and my mom when she was young and full of expectation toward us and her life- to give all she had to us. It is just like I will give all I have to my son and daughter. I am thankful that I have a year of myself in my whole life that I can stop, rest and thing about my first chapter of my life, and what I want to be, not what I should do to the next chapter of my life. I want to give the exactly some memories that my father and my mom gave me. Those has stayed with me and no one could possible taking away. I love those rice noodles with peanuts and sweet sauce that my father bought every night after he got out from work, from Ngau Tau Kok. He had to walk uphill about 15 minutes plus more than 200 stairs to get home. But do you know what; I know exactly what he had in his mind. I truly do. I understood now. When he was walking every step up, he was thinking about his family, his sons are waiting for him. When he bought those noodles, what he was thinking was our smiles and happiness. I promise you; father, you indeed made me so happy and those memories enriched my soul.

Amazing art

China Taiwan Direct Flight

I am talking about Chinese, not China Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Konger, Indonesia Chinese, Malaysian-Chinese, American-Chinese. One word- Chinese. We are all Chinese. I am chill to see that Taiwan and China finally has a direct flight, a historical moment for our long political and civil war history between parties. Let's not talk about who is right or wrong, who is good or bad. If someday, I really think it will happen, some time, all of us can be united as one. We will be the biggest and strongest nation, and ethnicity of the world. Don’t be afraid, folks. We like peace. We won’t bite. The sad thing is the direct flight is not physical direct fly yet. It actually has to go to Hong Kong and turn back to Taiwan. Really can’t wait to see a real direct fly.

Disable your lost cell phone

Unknown source reprint:
First, you have to know your cell series numer. To check your mobile phone's serial number, key in the following on your Phone: star-hash-zero-six-hash ( * # 0 6 # ) and a fifteen digit code will appear on the screen. This is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it safe. Should your mobile phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset, so even if the thief changes the sim card, your phone will be totally useless.
