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.

On the altar of money, myriads of people are willing to sacrifice.
But many successful people say it is wrong.

U. Q. eventually passed up the opportunity to go with J into J's biz endeavor and chose to go down in his own little sweat-shop biz. Sigh for U. Q.'s misjudgment and ungratefulness.
Different individuals' treatment of others varies very much. And it often evokes invisible sighs, on the other hand, it makes those truly good people stand out like shining diamonds.

Blank Verse in English poetry
Quote:
Blank verse is poetry written in unrhymed iambic pentameter. It has been described as "probably the most common and influential form that English poetry has taken since the sixteenth century" and Paul Fussell has claimed that "about three-quarters of all English poetry is in blank verse."

Music video - Excellent nursery rhyme - Five little ducks
By the way, I didn't know that Humpty Dumpty, the popular brand name of a Quebec packaged snacks company, is actually a well-known nursery rhyme in the West.
Personally I like listening to live performance of good violin music.
It's been proven time and time again.

When you're young, energetic, driven, and ambitious, you look at the United States differently.
When you're old and frail and have to be nursed, you look at the United States differently.
Windows 7 is much sleeker than Windows XP.
And it's said that a great many companies have upgraded or are upgrading their boring office computer operating systems to Win 7. From a user's perspective, I especially like the facts that it's faster, I can switch among different windows very easily by the Aero Flip 3D thing, the "search programs and files" box is quite satisfying, I can simultaneously run multiple instances of the same program, and its memory management is apparently more efficient. Personally I feel the Windows Aero interface built in Win 7 boosts my productivity significantly.
And I wanna see how the future Windows versions further take advantage of parallel computing.
