This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

Once I was genuinely asking a young Quebecois girl for the directions in a shopping centre, and she didn't give me the time of day.
"Sorry, I don't speak English," and then the stuck-up girl simply walked away.

It's a huge waste for the society that many people have to sleuth jobs.
Most of that time should be spent working and yielding real results.

By submitting to sheer power and mere money worship, probably many civil servants in China have turned into complete minions.
Especially in the wake of the prominent case of Bo Xilai.
It's sad to see Microsoft, the monument of the lifelong work of Bill Gates and many software developers, to go south.
It's even sadder to see that it seems that all Microsoft has left nowadays is just cash, tons of cash.

It's reported that South Korea is a hive of activity. Work has almost solely occupied many people's life.
They even don't cook at home and only eat food made outside home day after day.
Memorial services tend to be too long for outsiders.
But anyways, they are not for outsiders in the first place.

Shouldn't people be upset by the fact that so many couples, well known or not, separate or divorce?
A nascent case is the prominent household of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. See http://goo.gl/U9yS5n .

Personally I wouldn't prefer working in an open concept office.
Coffee houses are the utmost open concept floor. I can't stand the noise level there while thinking.

In Christianity, the God dispatched Jesus to save the human beings.
In Buddhism, there are many Buddhas who live through different eras of human history.

We've seen that many cash-rich companies are impotent in their respective markets.
Examples include Blackberry and Microsoft.
"I heard that Canada is feminized and boys and males are disadvantaged," J said.
"I wouldn't reply. My opinion would be skewed, right?" Ms. B. N. smiled.

Well, "pick flowers" is not authentic English, which was what I used to think it is.
It's an expression in Thai, instead! See http://thaitranslation.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/polite-v-vulgar-part-two-bodily-functions/ .

Nowadays I'm slightly disinclined to get social with friends.
I've got so many ideas over how to spend my time.
