Daybreak

Inspired from the rhythm of rock-based song

Are you ready?

To face the new challenges today

There's no need to fear

Be confident of yourself

LET'S FIRE YOUR SPIRIT!

Abundance of GLORY

is waiting for us ahead

No hesitation anymore

Because our future

is in our hands

Just step ahead

No turning back

Being determined to succeed

STAY GOLD!

is IE 8 good enough?

Turn off IE 8? Nah

Internet Explorer 8 is a web browser by Microsoft and it is the successor to IE 7. Now IE 8 is available in beta preview version for downloading into computer for testing purpose. This browser is recommended to web developers and experts only. It is not intended to be a fully functional product for web surfers yet.

IE 8 has been improved to meet users' need with new features such as Accelerators, Web Slices, InPrivate Browsing, Search Suggestions and etc. Accelerators are contextual services that allow easy access to Internet services from any web page. Web Slices is a new feature for web sites to connect to their users by subscribing to the content directly within a web page. Developers can mark parts of the pages as Web Slices. It works nearly like a RSS web feed.

Despite the major improvements have been made to IE 8, some of the "newly" added features have already introduced in other web browsers such as the competitor, Mozilla Firefox and the newly released browser, Google Chrome. One of the feature in IE 8 such as InPrivate Browsing is available in Chrome as Incognito Browsing. While the others include Search Suggestions and Automatic Crash Recovery.

IE 7 has made its major update in the aspects of feature and interface. The features that are introduced by IE 7 including Tabbed Browsing and Delete Browsing History. These features might not bring surprise to most of the web surfers as they are already available in Firefox. So, could IE 7 satisfies most of the users and and regain its glory? Maybe IE 8 can realise them.

The future operating system, Windows 7, which is believed to be announced in 2010, have a feature that can disable IE 8, but it cannot be removed from Windows 7. Once disabled, it is no longer available for use, which means that no data will be loaded by the operating system.

The question is, will I disable IE 8 if I am using Windows 7? I am not going to turn it off because some of the websites work best with IE. So, it is annoying to enable it back for this purpose. On Windows XP, I use Chrome and Firefox, depending on my mood. I rarely use IE 7 because it loads the slowest and most vulnerable to online threats, compared to Chrome and Firefox.

Why we have to disable it? Just set our desired browser as default. So, it will not pop up every time we want to open a website when we click on the link in other application.

70th: RULE

What is the reason for us to obey rules?

For not being betrayal?

Sometimes we may break the ridiculous rules,

for right purposes...

Are we called dignity for following the rules?

In turn, you lose your original purpose.

And you will have to give up.

Rule is not flexible...

But we can make it to be flexible.

When it's lack of something,

we can use alternatives.

We are now going beyond rules.

We are peculiar.

Give yourself a chance to change,

decide by yourself.

Life has no standardized rule.

We have our own styles.

Life imitates an infinite sheet of paper.

It has no limitation...

We will not leave it to be plain.

At least we have outstanding outcomes,

we will paint it with strategies.

This time, we don't want merely monochrome.

It resembles dullness and sorrow.

We don't want these to spoil the remaining spaces.

Life's just like a game.

If you have no special game,

you will be eliminated.

If you follow rule-by-rule without game,

you'll bring to game over.

If you ignore the rules,

get yourself too confident,

"V" will not be with you.

Dramatic? Oh...

以身作则

为什么要抄袭别人？
我们对自己有特定的要求。
我们有自己的风格。
我们有主见。
为什么非要跟随他人不可？
只是一味地抄袭，
只会掩藏你的个人特色。
只有做好自己的本份，
才能突出自己的性格。
每个人都有自己的优点、
独特之处，
为什么要依样画葫芦？
爱出风头不是表现自己的诀窍；
抄袭模仿只会掩藏自己的优点。
我们不是别人的复制品，
我们不要约束自己，
我们把自己的魅力都呈现出来，
这样我们才能得到满足感。

60th: NO WAR PLEASE!

Inspired from 911 Incident and Mumbai Terrorism

When war happens,
the terrorists assasinate;
the innocence live in fear.

Terrorism causes the innocence
to suffer from traumatic shock
and leave a scar behind them.

The innocence want to rebel
but they are feeble to do so.

There is no happiness,
only sadness spreads wild.

The whole area is under siege,
there is no way to escape.

The area under siege
is continuously bombarded by
the abuse of nuclear weapons.

Buildings demolished without left,
death bodies can be found everywhere,
people lead a harsh life,
languish and cry for mercy...

Please stop all these things from happening
again and again...
We demand mercy and peace!
We want to live in serenity.

Unity is power,
especially in a multi-racial country.

We revolt of terrorists!

沉默…

沉默
有人说
只是一时的逃避
逃避
有人认为
是懦者之举

沉默

也许是掩饰

掩饰自己

不胜于反驳

沉默

也只是蹉跎

毫无头绪

模糊的言语

在严寒的空中

弥漫

飘浮不定…

沉默
就像是互不相识
熟悉的
陌生人
时刻保持
警惕之心
哑口无言
只因有苦难言…

沉默

迟疑

傲慢

退缩

偏见

敷衍

解脱…

沉默

不许言语上的

诋毁

冲突

只是

无言的轻蔑

反击…

沉默

为了妥协

无声的语气…

沉默

只是一时彷徨

被视为不诚实

礼貌的表现

并表露无遗…

寶石

寶石﹐
璀璨的美麗﹑
耀眼的光芒。

請問﹐
你/妳
對她/他
的愛﹐
有沒有﹐
比寶石還
永恆﹑
堅韌…﹖

Diamond,
sparkling its beauty,
dazzling its spectators.

Ask yourself,
does your LOVE
promise your beloved
more than the diamond's
eternity,
strength...?

50th: 抚心自问

你们曾不曾想过这个问题：
“自己是谁？”
这个看似简单、普遍，
但常是被众人忽略的问题。

每次你获得梦寐以求的事物时，
你有没有认真思考过：
“自己真正想要的是什么？”
而不是让虚荣心来埋没自己的意愿。

当你了解到活着的意义时候，
你会不会想到：
“自己对生活的定义是什么？”

当你成功的时候，
你是否想过：
“这就是所谓的成就感？”

当我们肯定自己的生存目标时，
我们对生活就有了新动向，
不轻易被挫折打败、
发奋图强、追求理想，
最后迎来高峰。

Sky

When I gaze at the blue sky,
I feel free and easy.
It gives me comfort,
spaciousness,
peace
and harmony.
All the blues has gone away.
Its spaciousness depicts
the symbol of freedom.

Sky,
sometimes you are happy, sunny day;
sometimes you are sad, rainy day;
sometimes you are indifferent, cloudy day;
sometimes you are mischievous, stormy day.
I wonder what you are tomorrow...

蒲公英

当你不开心的时候，

很想找人哭诉，

不如把你的心事都告诉蒲公英。

或许你会觉得荒谬，

这种做法很无知。

但风会把蒲公英的籽带走，

让你不愉快的心情

随风而逝～

40th: RAINBOW 缤纷彩虹

miracle～期待

她凝视着窗外，

凝视着小雨一直下。

她专注地聆听，

聆听着小雨的心声。

她期待着，

期待彩虹快点出现。

她盼望着，

盼望太阳快点出现。

她祈祷着，

祈祷奇迹快快发生。

marionette: ending

Could you sense there are tears in its eyes?
They are tears of loneliness.
Its expression seems to be fake,
in strangers' opinion.
This is fate.
It cannot deviate from the harsh reality.
It hopes the strangers could realise its existence.
Please give it a plausible reply.
Its misfortune causes its dumbness.
It has realised its emptiness.
Do not leave it in sufferings anymore!
Marionette, summon up your courage!

破·釜·沉·舟

我已经定下一个决心
我不管人家不屑的眼光
我会勇往直前
我不会感到畏惧
我不会因为后悔
而回首回到起点
不管刮起再大的风
下起再大的雨
事实既然已经摆在眼前
我不理会别人的冷言冷语
言行举止
我没有逃避现实
反而坦然地接受它
别人的想法变得模糊不清
只所以他们才拿不定主意
我绝不会被别人的想法
而蒙蔽我的决心

我·回来了

我·回来了
我不再为往事忏悔而感到凄恻
事情有时因为非同小可
所以我不会盲目地做抉择
现在的我看待每件事情都有个对策
我不再做时间上的耽搁
我已经做好准备与改革
勇气与活力的结合
绝对是十全十美的配合
在陌生场所我不会感到木讷
尝过了生活的甜滋味忘了苦涩
我感受到阳光的暖和气候的温和
我看见前方垂柳摇曳
希望就在前方闪耀着
等着我去追随属于我自己的光荣时刻

有些时候眼睛所见到的不一定是真实的
要真正用心去感应和体会
才能了解事情的真相

20th: marionette

As a marionette,
its activities and movements are always restricted;
every thing is in its owner's control.
It has no freedom, but the boredom at all...
Is that its willingness?
Its life is being shackled,
Endless sorrow, helpless, hopeless, shattered dreams...
But it has one ambition...
Its ambition is to escape from the predicament,
and eventually walk out from darkness and sufferings.
It resolves.

I am a BLOGGER, Now

Finally, I have my own blog. Quite happy and satisfy with the decision I make, that is, starting my new blog. When my friends started their own blog, every moment I think of whether I should work out on my own blog or just visit their blog, view their posts and leave them comment(s). I start to think. Perhaps I must do something meaningful without hanging and fooling around anymore.

Why I start my new own blog?
1. to express my feelings
2. to show off to my friends? (maybe)
3. to improve my writing skill (depend)
4. influenced by others (>50% definitely)
5. free, nothing to do

Obviously, I am influenced by others (especially my friends) to start my new blog. Here, I would like to advise all of you (those who have their own blog or not),

"Be true to yourselves and others will believe and appreciate what you write."

Together we shout out our mixed feelings on our own blog so others can view them, realize and understand our feelings and thus provide solution to our problems. It is never too late to do so.
