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.

Samsung has run away with the consumer hardware battle, in terms of market share.
Is it entering the consumer software field now?
Long is the list of the word "list"'s definitions.
"List" is a good word, as Lisp is a good programming language.
In this information era, we are using so many software technologies. The better part of them appear to be erroneous from time to time.
Life is chaos for an information consumer like me.

People in the skirts of China, so to speak, cannot imagine how busy a typical Canadian's life is.
The life of Canadians and Americans is too technologically complicated. That's bad. People need to slow down.
A yard isn't always necessarily green.
It's that people often make it green out of their own preferences.

The world in various historical and cultural contexts
I'm fluent in two exclusive languages: Chinese and English. To me, the world still appears to be a difficult place to explore and maneuver, in historical and cultural contexts. Latin America, Oceania, Southern Asia, Southeastern Asia, Northern Europe, and Eastern Europe. Any of their histories I don't know. And their historical figures and their names look so strange and foreign to me.
For example, Bhai Baghel Singh "is celebrated in Sikh history as the vanquisher of Mughal Delhi." And the architectural wonder Taj Mahal in India "was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal." So these two historical items are closely related, cue the keyword "Mughal". But look, how many foreign words there are simply in those names!

RRSP is one's covenant with his old-age financial security.
If one's more than 50 years old and he doesn't have RRSP, that is precarious.
