I was recommended 卜易居 by the search engine, you can try another. The Internet says I: 独立性很强，不会受人左右，也不喜欢服从他人，有时候会很顽固。有随机应变的机智，因有强烈 好奇心，所以能够体验各种生活。curious, independent, stubborn, agile. 有上进心，值得信任，有很好的表白能力，天生是领导人才，精力充沛，能控制场面，而博得朋友和同事的尊敬，有错交朋友的危险，较受男性的欢迎，要小心虚假的女性。 am a trusted, respected, communicator, leader. danger of make

Have been following the debate on SOPA/PIPA. Not sure if we're at our best collectively as a human race if we leave the Internet as is, but we are certainly worse off if these bills come into play. Thanks Wikipedia. In case it happens, Asia will welcome all the most important Internet

(Note: for jargons, see oEmbed website for background) A quick survey of embed.ly

iPad orchestra: Acoustic versus programmatic performance
What is the difference between an acoustic performance and programmatic performance?

Expiring Shoutmix
After at least 6 years of using ShoutMix on this blog, looks like Snecx is finally putting up his compulsory pay wall to sustain the business. He explains his rational in an open letter. I guess after only 250 legitimate messages and having to manually deal with thousands more spam messages,

Legoland is opening 2012!

Countdown to 2012 with an Orchestra and Champaign

The wedded future beckons
I'm 31, male, and about to get married. Truth be told, although I'm elated that I'll be wedded with the best wife I could ask for, I still shiver at the thought of the future. Something that's planned for the "rest of my life" doesn't come easy to me, who has

When does an angel comes visit you? When you least expect them to. When they come, what do you do? Pray. Found this photo that I took while stopping at a traffic light at Gelang Patah. At that moment, when both my gf and I caught it, I thought, what an angel
