I remember that some people saying if you wanna get marry you have to well prepare, you have to prepare everything first, you have to have money, apartment, job…etc. But today I have some different thought which base on what I heard and my previous experience.

In long time ago, I just dated with a girl in my fresh year. By that time, I dunno why I just being with her, several weeks later she said we should get marry, and I think is that some kind of joke; well what she mean is she is going to find some “digital marry site”, and pretend to get marry. It was funny, and it was dumb, We were so good together, we shared our things, memory and life. But we are eventually broke up two and half years after. Well I think if that is easy to say marry me, but most people is hard to keep the word of what they said.

Few months ago, I keep hearing friends surround me to tell me that they are getting marry or they are engaging; so I will ask, do you have a apartment? do you have a good salary to feed the whole family? The answers seem is not what I was thinking, all of them said no, they don’t have apartment, they don’t have good salary or some was unemployed by that time. I was so surprise indeed, but when I went to some park, I keep seeing a lot of young couple are marry and having baby, and I think most of them is not “on the top of the world”, and their life just began.

I must saying that most young couple getting marry is not because they have good salary and stable life, beside I think it is the moment they created to make the man or woman to say yes. That moment is so important to couple, when the time pass I don’t there is any chance to get it back again. If that moment is come, they won’t think any other things i.e. money, apartment, family….etc. The yes means, I just want to stay with you forever.

So I think when couple say “we have to plan, we have to wait 3,6,9 years” , that might means “oh, I still looking for others, you are not good enough, I need to have several years to let myself to find a better one, if I couldn’t I will be with you”, pretty sad huh?

Well it is soul, and some people call race music in 70s.. but I think it is cool and it is awesome…. I love it….

Most people think if a person like Apple, that person must be pretend he/she is cool in some country, and some people think use or love Apple is because they want to be different. But in fact some or a lot of people love Apple won’t think on that way, especially for those who know the year of 1979 and 1983. That’s my story of how and why I love Apple and Mac.

Back in 1998, when I was in a computer store with mum, and we were looking for a computer. By that time everyone think computer is a fancy things at home, before that I have my 8086 computer at home as well. I remember that that is the first time I meet Mac, a hockey pug mouse, crystal blue all in one iMac, I think it is cool and pretty, by that time I really want to get one, but it turns out my parent decided to buy an Acer, because they said no one use Mac at all.

So several years pass, and it was 2002, before I get into the college I really need a new computer, because my Dell was missed on taxi. My parents and I went to a computer store again, and this time I know what I really want and I just aimed of that. When we went to store and I asked those sales about does Mac can do AutoCAD and Engineering program sort of things? OF course if you are a sales you will know the answer, at the end I got my first Mac with run in OS X 10.1. So I got back to home hurry and try all the feature in OS X, everything just amaze me, that is the first time I touch the thing I really like, and I just start learning from them.

In fact, all knowledge I know about computer, most of the reason is because of Mac, and Apple. I know php, know a bit of graphic, database and programming, all is because of my first Powerbook. Now I m a developer on Mac, good in php and Mysql, alway have idea to design stuff, all the reason is because of Steve Jobs and Mac. When I start to use my First Mac, I know I won’t go back, also I start learning Computer history, the company’s history and the technology deep inside the Mac.

I m a person who love Mac is because the legacy, the innovation, the heart of making software and hardware, and the insight. So not just the way it looks, moreover is the soul deep inside the heart. I start to research NeXT, read book about Steve Jobs, Steve Woz and the born of Mac, everything just amaze me and I think they are the guy whose I m looking for a long long time. I keep reading how they make the first computer( I know Woz did that on his only ) and how to make the first Apple Computer, their story always give me an energy to work and to think, it always make me think I want to be one of them. I want to be the next Steve Woz. That is the soul in my about the Apple.

I love Apple and Mac not just because by look, and I hope most people love Apple and Mac at the same way, think deep and think differently, try to look deep inside the iphone, the ipod and the Mac, all you will see is the what computer and electrical devices suppose to be, you will see what is human first design, not just like Windows and PC that, you have to gear yourselves to use it, or the machine just a cool blood and not human first home electrical devices, please when you use Apple and Mac, just think you will amaze more than just the outlook.

It will going to be crazy in next couple month, cus exhibition will start tomorrow and my own shit will start afterward, iPhone apps, web apps, own company stuff etc.

It is good to be busy but something always turn me down. When I start thinking myself, most of time I just spend time on my own, and most of time I can only use my own ability to solve my own or the company’s problem, and I keep thinking that why should I find someone to help, and I know why, because no one can help, and what that mean is people always say I will help from their word, but never take an action ,also sometime I found people but they are not able to help, which I just tired about it.

Even in relative and very close friend, they won’t help and they only think of themselves, and even they don’t want to spend time with you, and shoot out “you don’t let people knows you” in a period of time. In fact the one who I m and for those who miss understand, all because they don’t want to spend time to know me, doesn’t mean I don’t let people know me. If people don’t spend time on each other, so how the hell they know each other. So stop the bullshit and take action, if people really care.

Also I think that is totally ass hole, so what is the point to being friend and to being relative, if that is a close friend and relative, people suppose to help each other without thinking, just like my ideal church, just like hippy, and just like mac user. That is the culture and people relation I m looking for, help each other and don’t think about the return, that who I m and thats what I think the relationship suppose to be.

Now I think I start my own shit and work in my own mother-ship, gear myself up and roll up my own shit. Because I think the space, the air and the sound belong to me. So when the space is mine, what the point to keep more stuff inside my space.

When I listen these three songs I always have an idea to how to make a short video or film base on those rhythm:

• First one is Real Gone by Sheryl Crow:
  
• Second one is He’s a Pirate by Klaus Badelt:
  
• And the last one is City of blinding lights by U2
  

Too bad, I don’t have any video recording devices and software… so I just keep thinking the ideas when I listen those songs…. BTW those are great song, I love it.

Find my iPhone: actually it can send msg from your computer to your phone, also it can located where you phone is, it is so cool!!!!
Here is how to send msg from mobile me to iPhone.
Send from computer:

Message show on your iphone screen

Awesome!!!! see the first photo, there is a map to show where the heck is my little suck located

Last Night, I was in a mall and saw a road show about the hybrid car from Hong Kong Power supply company, there is several things to bothering me. Their concept of green and their knowledge to know how to being green is totally wrong, what that mean is they have fundamental error of the concept to being green.

First what is hybrid car? Hybrid car is a mix or I called subside petrol(gas) car, the car still have to use the gas and the car. Second what is electrical car? Electrical car is a pure electrical energy supplied car.  Last what is diesel car? Diesel Car is a car use diesel( haha yea diesel )

• When you drive hybrid car, the car uses both energy petrol and electrical, the purpose of that is made the car has less fuel consumption, less CO2 and hight MPG. But the thing is the hybrid car is depending on the driver behaviors, some research tell us that drive hybrid car use more petrol( means produce more CO2) than regular sport car in 80 mph. So if the driver has aggressive driving behaviors the car will just exactly same as the BMW M3.

What about electrical car? Government and electrical company always say electrical car is the future. In fact, if the government and electrical company is telling the true of the electrical car?

• Made by Aluminum: Car mostly is made by aluminum. Aluminum can be recycle but the process of making  aluminum needs a lot of water treatment and massive of heat, it is a lot more than Steels.

• The battery: Electrical Car is using the technology in Computer notebook or your cellphone’s battery(Li-ion), Car manufactory just array massive number of Li-ion battery into the car, so the car gets the power to drive up to 60 mph or higher, but think about it, what if the battery dead? Li-ion can’t be dispose, and it harm the environment. Also Electrical car is using the power from the big power planet instead of the small gas station, but it still need power to fuel up when u fill it up, it created CO2 from the planet not the car, literary is the same as petrol car.

The Diesel Car seems a right choose? Maybe not. In fact the diesel car just like hybrid car, it depends on the driver behaviors. So if you drive fast your fuel consumption won’t be low.

The law of conservation of energy can’t be change.

IF you want to be green on transit, let me give you some suggestion,

• Take public transport, take less distance route. Public transport is a good way to reduce a carbon dioxide and  higher power efficiency, 1 bus with 100 people is way higher efficiency than 1 car with 1 people.
• IF you really need to drive, don’t spend money on nowadays hybrid and electrical car, it won’t save the earth. So change your driving behaviors, accelerate slowly and brake slowly, because the most energy waste is in the beginning of the movement, it need to deal with the fraction and change the stage of the object.
• Also way the technology have every better solution, as an engineer I believe people are working on it, especially on the renewable energy car, i.e solar power car, and Fuel cell car, that is the way it looks like in the future.

So please don’t bother the electrical car and hybrid car now, and think before you trust those message from government( especially in HK ) and power company, because their concept of green is wrong, and the message it brings out just brain wash people’s mind.

Well Try myself first

Try on model later on…..

It seems not really work… or I need sth shinny???

Most people know I alway forget things, but in fact, I have pretty good memory on my own, especially the things happen on my. I remember when is the first time I visit Ottawa, what did I do over there, and the route on that day……

The very first day in ottawa:

I got off the coach at 5.00 am and took cab to the Carleton University, but the university wasn’t open yet. So I took another cab to the bank and somerset street, get into the internet cafe and wait until 7.00 am in the morning, so I when to bank and slater starbucks to have a coffee, it was a lot of people in there, but I feel so excited because I really love coffee, and I m in the strange place with a flash start, I was thinking that I gonna live there for at least 5 years, it is so cool. I really love that moment, I still remember that feeling now.

After the coffee, and I went back to the University and go to the housing department. I found a list of rental house in ottawa area, so I keep searching and searching until 11am, I called one of my friend’s friend, his name is Tim, he was 60+ and he and his wife is a very nice couple, they drove me around, invited me to their house near the montreal road, and helped me to find a room to stay. But I couldn’t find the room in the first day, so I gonna go back to my friends place in Waterloo, so I took 4 oclock coach back to Waterloo.

That is my very first day in Ottawa.

Today I realize something funny, which is my little behaviors:

• If I want to focus to work on something, I must clean all the things first.
• Before start coding, or working on computer, I must wash my hand before I start to typing in to code or PSing.
• When I stuck, I will look around, and find a bottle of water.
• After Period of time, I will clean up all the files, I don’t like to see files are all around, I will put all of them into a specific folder.
• I start use some regular word before the actual file name i.e. workschool, workown.. .etc.

Oh man, I need a coffee to wake me up as well.
