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.

Given the omnipresence of social media, I wonder how many online complaints are libels in essence and how many Facebook "like"s are false praise.

Some dinner parties among Chinese people tend to be banal. And the reason must be they don't know how to care about people, I suppose? No?

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.

A take on friendship

When one's friends inundate him with disappointments about what a friend should do but doesn't do, he then knows better what the meaning of friendship is and what the tests of it are. And then back to the core, he knows better what a PERSON should be like, hopefully.

Windows XP had its heydays. Since then, my Windows computers, both XP and 7, have nearly never crashed or frozen.
