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.

The tardy economic recovery, if there is a real one at all, renders newly minted university graduates almost powerless.
I read somewhere that some Princeton (if my memory is correct) graduates had to become fishing guides. Well, Princeton, the received most prestigious university in the world, is going to lose some potential applicants in the forthcoming years.

It seems that for any person, most of new things or equipment are double-edged swords, in terms of how he makes use of his time.
For one thing, social networking websites can enhance his information intake, while it can suck away and away his precious time on the other hand.
We have to make the best of that conundrum.

Rain break

The other week, when I was sitting out a sudden big pouring of rain in a shopping centre, I thought, why some people tend to curse an occasional break like that from daily routines? For those people who the timing of the breaking rain didn't wreak real inconvenience, what was so bad about it?
People tend to become lonelier and lonelier, in this world with more mobility and less face-time.
When loneliness snipes, how can one gather himself and keep his wholesomeness?
No wonder movies and novels have been selling quite well.

The speaker in the "Subway" sandwich outlet is blasting out loud pop music officiously, right above my ears.
I am deprived of my right of choosing not to listen to it. Gee, consumer rights are hard to protect, especially when they are attacked through the air. :-D
