The Power of Can't

"If you think you can, you can. If you think you can't you cant. Either way you're right."

So positive thinking and attitude leads you to positive life experience. Don't you feel great to imagine yourself as a capable person who can overcome ANY kind of obstacle in life.

Face your problem...laugh at them...divide and conquer them and terrorized the next problem...make problems in your life so scare of you...that they will keep themselves away from you. After you solved all your own problem then you feel so shiok about saving yourself...the feeling is so high that you want to save other...and you create superman attitude...spread this attitude...then you will have super heroes team. No more worries in life. That is a wonderful idea right?

But somehow there will be someone or something pop out say you can't. Prove them wrong with action and tell them "yes, you can't but i can".

"Poor people and lazy people use the word can't more often than successful people. They use the word can't because it's easier than saying can. If you say you can't do something, you don't have to do it...even if you can."

Do you feel frustrated when you ask a person in charge...a simple question like "Can this problem be solved?" Then they just replied "Can't". Kaoz...how can that be...all problems in life can be solved or at least reduced or maybe at worst you have to adapt to it. It is so depressing for me to tell people that I can't solve their problem...but at least I will try to refer them to another smarter person.

"It is easier to keep working hard than to change."

Why? Because human like safe and stable life. Human don't mind doing a same things ten thousands times then make it a routine in their life and slowly it become a habit. I am human too. But I know time is super precious...I want my life to filled with new experiences which means experiencing lot of new changes. If you can find a new changes in life and makes your life much easier why not? But don't look for the unrealistic shortcut which was created for the greedy and lazy.

"The word can't make strong people weak, blinds people who can see, saddens happy people, turns brave people into cowards, robs a genius of their brilliance, causes rich people to think poorly, and limits the achievements of that great person living inside us all."

Yes. We can. We will have a better future.

The Growing Process

These three images show the result of growing green beans for one week.

The first image is a close-up on the root of the plants.

5 out of 7 manage to have a full grown.

The only 2 beans that can't grow fully have several reason.


The 1st bean didn't grow much because the root is growing upward instead of downward to get root into the cotton. It is a result of being too eager to grow up but end up have weak foundation due to lack of proper direction.

The 2nd bean unable to grow well due to poor start, it is sort of the less fortunate bean which does not have a healthy bean as others.

But it still able to grow better than the 1st bean.
The third image is the third day of the green bean growing process.

By the way, no matter how much theory I write on this blog.
The green bean simply don't care at all and just keep growing.
So in life, I think no one should let other judge them and decide their future for them.
Just Live It.

So for now, still have no dead plant...so the experiment will go on.

Due to my heavy study workload, I will stop blogging for a while. Good Night!

The purpose of life is to fight maturity.

Rise of Technology

This is just a simple 8 GB thumb drive.

But it is actually not very simple device in ten years ago.

If this device was found ten years ago, it should be easily worth $1000 plus. Why?



Imagine the days that we spent around 40cents to buy diskette which is 3.4mb only. People invest hundred of dollar on ZipDisk. So this device can easily worth $1000 plus, ten years ago. But currently it only cost $28.

With this $28 device, you can try type all the girl contacts you know and store it in a notepad form. If you can fill this device fully with the notepad that contain the girl contacts. You might have whole world girls contacts number, if not, at least ASEAN.

I still remember ten years ago...my computer like have less than 4GB capacity and i always envy my friend able be to play those good quality game that need at least 1GB installation space. But now I have 500GB storage space and install some new game...you might need around 5GB. But this 8GB device still can store it, then I have this thinking....why not I have a portable Windows OS and it is possible.. Actually there is a lot of portable software out there.

Computing Growth is like Exponential growth which is like human and virus growth...which is a bit scary...there is a lot of things we use today...is build by machine. It is because it need high detail, precise and speed to build advanced microchip.

But I still believe human is more intelligent computer...why you might ask. Because only human can dream and imagine. Imagination is far more valuable than knowledge. The more I understand on computing technology the more I am amazed by human mind...like how image,audio and video is convert into string of code and sent via wireless and another part of the world receive it and watch the video.

The technology behind is the work of genius...lot of genius spent lot of time...to make current IT world possible. But some technology is still not widely used...due to human nature...resistance toward changes. JPEG2k is a good example.

By the way, there is a girl more pretty than 常在心 ask me not to miss her...how is that possible? Silly girl.

Dream to Reality

人要脚踏实地.
不要一步登天.
因为一不小心真的会早日登天.

万事起头难.
我们能从一个地方到另一个地方.
如果没靠别人或工具或交通工具.
我们就要靠我们的双脚.
走出去. 走到目的地.

我的脚很好看吧...我觉得可以用他拍广告.
我这种想法...就叫做梦.

听说只有人可以做梦.
(我猜是因为动物或植物做梦也不会跟人讲啦.)


Last night I dreamed I ate a ten-pound marshmallow, and when I woke up the pillow was gone.

Learning New Language

Today, I went for my beginner course for Sign Language.

Before I go, I have a chat with my mom, what I am doing this afternoon. She asked "why you learn sign language?"

I replied "To communicate? To learn a new skill?"

Actually I am quite interested to learn any new skill or new languages. My secondary school teacher used to say, when you learn a new language, you learn a new world. It is very true. When you learn sign language, you will understand deaf community and their culture. When you learn English, you can understand lot of knowledge from the Western.

For now, I know Chinese, English, Sign, a bit of Japanese and Malay. I basically can understand lot of cultures already.
Actually I think learn English is very useful...because it seems to be the International/Standard Language. It is something like US currency is the World Currency. So via English you can understand many other countries stories and culture.

So why I chose to learn Sign Language?

Firstly, I consistently learn new things but I getting old.
So I don't want to spend too much time practice how to pronounce new word or how to write some words nicely and correctly. For Sign Language, you just have to Sign and give face/body expression...simple, practical and hand-on! Good right?

Secondly, I also think Sign Language is a more special and interesting language compare to other language. It is the only language that you must communicate face to face and I like this idea. I like people takes a lot of attention on human communication.

Thirdly, when I want to do something, I simply just do it. Haha...but for this time, got great help from Chia Hui.

Actually, before attending this Beginner Course, you need to attend and complete the Introduction Course. Today, when I attend the lesson...somehow I quite miss Mei Zhen and Adeline...haha because last time when I learn ABC and 1234...they are around. Haha...lucky today still got Chia Hui accompany me. If not, I might not even be able to sign my name.

We also play a game called "Pass the stick" and it is very creative and interesting game.
Next time can play with my friends in FO camp or some Ice-Breaking game.


Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

The Mid-Autumn Moon Festival

中秋节之吃饼赏月.

在中秋节之前和当天.
我吃了三种月饼.

第一种是来自Raffles Hotel的含有酒精成份的特制月饼, 会让你越吃越High.



第二种是来自大中国的传统双黄月饼. 很好吃, 很耐饱.

第三种是来自香港的特别多口味的月冰皮月饼. 刚吃了红豆和芒果口味.
很特别, 很好吃.

月饼我是吃多了...但天不做美, 看不到月亮. 我现在害怕自己的肚子会变的跟月亮圆.
我每天都做运动. "意大利"好不容易要分成六国. 难道他们又要统一?

晚安了...我去做运动了.

Eve of Moon Festival

中秋节的除夕.

我很小的时候, 很喜欢中秋节.
主要原因是可以看到嫦娥.

哈哈...开玩笑的啦.

主要原因是可以玩火和看到她.
小时候每次中秋节, 都会在我家楼下过.
因为我家楼下就是小学和中学.


会提灯(她),点蜡烛(她),玩烟火(我),追美眉(他们).

其实我比较像做烟花. 因为我会集合很多烟火棒的火药, 然后一次过点火. 我还记得有一次我点烟火后...天下雨了...下了七彩雨. 哈哈骗你们啦.
其实是我被叫进校长的办公室后, 才下雨...天都可怜我啊. 校长诬蔑我, 说我放火烧球场. 她真的有病. 我那么热爱打篮球的阳光男孩...哪里可能会放火烧球场. 我只是隔岸观火而已. 她来,每个人跑,只有我一个看火和她. 她就把火出在我身上. 到了办公室后, 叫我把身上的东西拿出来. 只有打火机和没有开到的蜡烛盒. 她就说我是放火. 嗨...她真是没脑. 幸好我有律师的天赋, 为自己打赢了官司...无罪释放.


今天, 我家楼下吵到我去看发生什么事. 原来他们在庆祝中秋节, 有舞狮团. 可是没人玩火...他们提的也是塑胶灯笼...真无聊. 我在家拍照更无聊. 还是去看火影忍者比较好.


晚安. 今天竟然收到常在心的情书. 但我挺相信是假的.

Color Knowledge

最近我学了很多"色"的东西. 我已经很好"色"了.
老师还教我更多跟色有关的事.

其实你们的眼睛不能看很多跟黄色有关的东西.
为什么我写"你们"而不是"我们".
因为我已经练成"天眼", 可以看的东西比普通人多.
听说我的好友也要练成.
可能是因为他也姓"林"的关系吧.

普通人都会看到很多不同种类的青. 比如: 黑青啊.
电脑能给我看到的颜色有限. 除非你的荧光屏很好.
我也学了很多跟照相机有关的知识.

Pixel Dimension is about width x height.
Resolution is about pixel per inch (ppi).

So actually we often mistook resolution as pixel dimension.

For buying camera, there is few things to take note. how many sensor the camera have?
If there is three RGB color light sensor will be the best...but the price is super expensive and it consumes much more energy. So normally, camera will have one light sensor only. Next point to take note on is the pixel size...for example 10 megapixel will be more than enough. Next will be sensor size...if your pixel size is high...but sensor size is small....the photo won't be very nice also. I recommend Cannon 1st, Sony 2nd...due to the technology they use...try look for Foveon X3 technology. With Foveon X3, your photo colour will be more realistic. If you look for super duper fast photo capturing technology, look for Kawahito Lab, they can take 3500 frames per second.

By the way, today I didn't take own photo....because my camera run out of battery.

Good night.

Green Bean Experiment

Green Bean Experiment.

The purpose of this experiment is to find out which green bean die first and last.

Sound cruel right? It is just to prove one theory. Current state is not as bad/good as we think.
I often heard people say they are dying, sick of their life, bored, extreme happy, impossible for them to fall sick, impossible for them to recover.

I think those are just short term experience which we should overcome it and do not let bad memories/experience continue to affect our future life...and consistently recall our past good experience. Back to my experiment

Here is seven green bean. They are randomly pick by my mom from the normal green bean pack that buy from supermarket. They have different size and weight and they are position at different location. This photo is taken one day after I have put them on cotton wool. I quite shock that green bean grow so fast. You can adopt them or name them if you want.

Chose one bean that you think it will have the longest lifespan and one bean has the shortest lifespan.

I chose the bottom right bean has the longest lifespan and center top bean has the shortest lifespan. One week later we will see the result :) By the way, I will not interfere their life at all.

Viewpoint on Life

Viewpoint. 观点.

今天我要谈的是人生观.
我已经很长的时间没写中文.
今天来写个小对话.

数码宝贝: 人生对我来说嘛...就像一场赛跑...我重视的是速度.

钢弹: 可是人生对我来说嘛...就像一场战争...我重视的是输赢.

步惊云: 人生有如排云掌...修炼绝招是为了面对更强的对手...我重视的是生存.

我: 人生就好像一盘中国象棋. 在对的时间,地点,身份...做对的行为...我重视的是"意".

你就算很"帅"一但做错选择, 你还是会输给无名小"卒".

我很幸福, 有你做我的朋友. 但是也很可怜...因为没有女朋友.

We all grow up

Yeah! This is a height chart! It is at least 15 year old?

When I young, I used to run to my sister room and stand at this height chart to check how tall I have grow. When it shows the height that I am not satisfy with it, I will just think that this height chart not accurate de. But if it shows the height that I want...then I will 100% believe in it...and one day, it shows my height is 180cm...okay I am happy and I never used it again...anyway now I am the tallest in my family...what a great achievement. My mum did a great job in feeding me.


When we are young, we want to grow tall. When we are tall, we want to grow smart. When we are smart, we want to grow money. (that is when kids become smarter than us) When we are rich, we suddenly don't want to grow old! Sometime rich people rather die than to see themselves to grow old...they will try all kind of method to maintain their "not so old" look.

Today, I realize there is no way to stop yourself growing old because that is law of nature...even you can time travel....you also growing. Mentally, Physically...it just grow via time and experience. So when I grow old, I want to grow noble and there is nothing noble about being superior to some other person. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self which means endless self improvement of one's character.

Kids grow up fast...is not based on food...but based on life encounters.

Who makes life so difficult? No one but yourself. Less demand of needs and wants...Less supply of your energy and effort. Life is short....four letters only.

Btw currently I try to lead a very Zen lifestyle. How Zen you may think. Sleep before 12 and wake up at 8. Try to eat more vegetable and fruit everyday (I just realize that most of the top ranking animal in strength in animal kingdom is vegetarian!) Do sit up and push up every day...spent less time with females (I think this one quite difficult to achieve because I accompany my mum quite often) Record my daily 'karma' on a book. Do photo blog here. Read a book a day. Read Bible.

Photo Blog - Happiness

From Today onward, I want to start photo blogging. Which means I take a photo and write some words.

Why we live? It is simply to complete some tasks or just be happy. We look forward for happy days to come again! We need to have some goal or purpose to make our life more meaningful.

I injured and healed just within a day. I am happy.

This photo simply show what camera I am using to take down other photos in future. What I want to capture is happy related stuff.











She asked "How to achieve happiness?"
I replied "Get married with me loh."
She laughed "Then whole world girls going to marry with you then can be happy ar?"
I think "Nope, there is only one lucky girl"

Climb High, Fall Hard.

Today, I jump from the tree that is printed on Singapore $5 dollar note.

The height is about 2m. After the jump. I learn many things.

Say is easy, do is tough.

Before this jump, I always wonder why action movie they can repeat the character jump at a high height for so many time. Now I know why. It is because it is not an easy task as you thought.

When I was up there. Time seem to slow down til you felt it don't existed...I don't really care how much time has passed...the fear is overwhelming. 1min 20 seconds have passed. I decide to waste no more time and do the jump. It is actually my 2nd jump. But the feeling is totally different. Why?

First jump, I was forced by no one but forced by situtation. When I climb up the tree...I realise I only can jump down from the tree...many people will think why I don't climb down from the way I climb up. At that moment, it is not possible and is more dangerous by yourself.

When I climb up the tree...I am barefoot, because it is more safe due to higher friction and better control. When I am up the tree...I need shoes as protection to cushion the impact fall on ground. At that moment, my mind tell me I left one solution but I was wrong.

For every problem, there is actually more than one solution. The another solution is actually is use barefoot and climb down from the way you climb up. I am shock when I see this solution works.

Try relate this climbing experience with our life experience.

When we raise in our rank, career position, status. Does we ever thought that we will fall from the top? Most of the time is no. Why? You are blind by the happiness of being at the top of the world.

But when you truly tired being at the top of the world...and you want to have a stable ground life. You completely regret that why you climb so high. First thing comes to your mind is to get as many protection you can get and do the fall and crash and pray that you are still alive. But how many people at the top will want to come down willingly and do some preparation for the fall. Not many, most people comes down by forced or sabotage by other people who want their position and most of the time the fall is deadly without a warning.

My friend shows me that is a easy and safe way out. It is to climb down from the top when you are contented and come down humbly without protection but has the assist of other, a friend which you will trust to catch you when you will fall during the process of coming down. Then slowly back to the ground step by step.

Having a good friend is better than having a good falling spot.

So why there is the 2nd jump? Simply because it is fun to jump but every jump is different you might injured.

Looking Back

Now I looking back at my life.

I realise lot of problems is not a problems.

I realise time can do lot of healing.

Time wash aways pain, bad memory, worries.

I realise many things change...but many things did not.

While reading my Mind is a battlefield post.

I felt disgusted by it...I felt it is too agressive tone post.

I used to like that post...but now I don't.

I felt like delete it, I did, but part of it. Not all. After all it is still a creation of mine.

By Nature, I think I am person who like peace...although I like challenges also.

I realise I might change without me myself noticing.

It is very scary to turn into a person you dislike most.

My old friends said that I am a person who always have a smile on his face.

Always happy, positive, full of hope, full of laughter.

I still do. But somehow now I think of my family more.

I believe life just get better in the end.



As long as you keep moving...you will reach the destination.

I am slow :(

Haha...It actually took me 12 days and make me realise I am slow.

So what am I doing within these 12 days?

Family...Project...Family...Her...Project...Myself.

Maybe I should focus on myself more...but I still have to finish my project first...then family...then her.

I hate...

WARNING: This is just a draft to be review...I have no time to complete because need to go hosptial.

Sometime or somehow...I simply hate SMS or even phone call...
Why?
Because SMS, It limits you 160 letters per SMS! Can you believe it?
160 letters leh! How do you express your feeling and thoughts fully with 160 letters!
Worse part is...there is people with unlimited SMS plan...then they reply super short reply...
then they ask stupid question...wow! make me vomit blood...maybe that why they SMS me...
If not I sure suan them to death on phone.

Okay, about short SMS...I know I reply short SMS too.
Why?
Because when you recieved a SMS, the best action you can do, is response.
When you are going to reply, you have to think...think...think...then SMS.
The thinking process...is a chore to me...I think I write, I scare my friend misunderstand,
I delete...I rewrite...I scare my reply not good...I delete I rewrite...finally I sent.
Wow...15 minutes have passed! Kaoz...Genius like me can spent 15 minutes to do a lot of things leh...
End up I just sent a SMS! Best part is when you sent out your "masterpiece" you wait another few minutes for reply.
Best reply is a single letter "K"...make me really want to go that person house and stab him/her to death sia. haha kidding lah.
I not so violent de...suan him/her til he/she cry only.

Surprisingly, sometime I can be the person who do the "K" reply leh...
Why?
Simply, I hate SMS! If you going to ask a question and expect a very long answer.
Can you kindly call that person!!!
I know call people is expensive!!! I know now is difficult to make money!!!
But I know one thing even more clearly, Now is even more difficult to make friends in this Age of Overloading Information world!!!

When I take ten thousand year to reply, because I need to plan and think and check of lot stuff to do a reply!
A SMS to me is super duper cold, no feeling, no sincere, no life...I don't know why...maybe I do too much programming
or use too much computer...sometime I read a SMS I feel like being use by people...I feel like read a robot reply...
I just feel weird...

I hate phone call too...but of course not as much as SMS.
At least, when you are on a phone call, that person don't talk...you can hear his/her breathing or environment...
haha, okay I not sick til like to hear people's breathing...is because it at least make you feel that person is ALIVE!
which is very important to me. But hear a person breathing too long...make me felt sick too!
Why?
Because it waste my phone call bill, it waste my time, it waste my feeling! If I want to hear breathing/environment sounds.
I might well find a seashell and put my ear there...listen to the sea song or sound of emptiness.

At this Age of Multitasking, multitasking seem to be a basic ability, I am a super multitask-er...if you all know me...I can easily use four laptop at the same time. But when comes to do a reply to a human, I simply hate to reply via SMS or phone call.
Why?
Because you spent all your time focus on SMS/Phone call, another party can just continue his/her task just by adding your task in.
I hate this kind of thing...no basic courtesy!

One great thing I learn from the Deaf. They are very positive and lively...maybe not all...but most.
Why?
Because the focus a lot on Human Communication! They can't hear! They only see.
If you are not going to have eyes contact with them...they simply don't bother to communicate with you at all.
Unless they no choice lah...I just prefer a more LIVE and human communication as in face to face.

Yup, so I think the best way to use sms/phone call is to use it as a media to meet up in real life.

Star Shouting Show

Sometime I just feel like SHOUTING to the sky...see can shout the star down..then i can make wishes liao.

Total Solar Eclipse

日全食 Total Solar Eclipse

Tomorrow Morning (9.30 am), Finally Human Race decide to use some of their precious time to look at the Sun "Dark" Beauty. Hopefully Tomorrow won't be so hot.

Guys bring girls go see sunrise. (haha...hope it rains.)

Girls don't wait for me to bring you see sunrise...because I very lazy...I surely fall asleep...you all got legs own self go see okay? Yup, no matter how pretty or kind or what...I still prefer to see Sunrise with my mum.

The woodsman's dilemma

There was a woodsman who had a new axe.

The first day he was able to chop down 20 trees.

With each passing day, he worked longer and harder, while chopping down fewer trees.

A friend wandered by and suggested, "why don't you sharpen your axe?"

The woodsman replied, "I am too busy. I have got to chop down more trees!"

Let stop for a moment, collect our thoughts and sharpen our axes.
