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.

Life puts almost every friendship to small or big tests, sooner or later.
Then the rhythm and the fate of the friendship is determined.
The United States disrupt all sorts of industry value chains with its customary innovation.
What Apple and Google's Android have done in the mobile sphere is just another example of that.
By contrast, the sad case of RIM's free fall stings many Canadians and makes them ask again if Canadian companies can compete in the technology sector.
"California, here we come".

Friends have parted from D. X., one by one.
The culprit is two fatal flaws of him, albeit he's got some very good characters which I actually appreciate a lot. Sigh.
Currently I've got a habitual weekday routine, which is to improve my own English proficiency a teeny bit.
I don't give up.
Sometime I can't help but wonder if I'm too ambitious because I want to achieve what 1.5 or 2 generations of Chinese immigrants overseas achieve within 1 generation, which is my own lifetime. :-)

In recent years, some, or many, local governments in China have done quite a few harmful and untrustworthy deeds to SMBs.
No wonder more and more rich Chinese people have been heading out of China and establishing a base in one Western country or another.

I repent of the moment that my wife turned off our portable air conditioner without first cancelling the set timer. :-)
Now I have had to fix the mysterious problem that the air conditioner refuses to consistently blow cool air.

I think there's a crucial element and aspect of a good higher education.
And it's that the university or college must instill and strengthen the student's hard working habit (not work ethic. The latter may only be taught by one's parents and himself?), as well as intellectual custom and curiosity, by constantly urging him on by loading him with relatively heavy academic learning and work. One extreme example of that is the infamous or famous "drinking from the fire hose" approach long adopted by MIT.

No offense, I can't keep from wondering about this.
Some Christians sort of plead with God to form a perpetual bond. But does God think pleading is the best form of praying?

"Wonton" is a good sort of food in Chinese cuisine.
However, it's very easy to be confused with the word "wanton", which signifies badness and mercilessness.
