Sometimes, life would be so nice if there is always background music behind every scenes we are living in. :)
When thinking alone in a silent room... a peaceful tone would make thinking quicker.
When dating a girl... a romantic song would make the time more beautiful.
But who would be there to determine which song to play on every seconds of life? And how could the song reach our ears?
That is why while doing reports my lap top has to be here, playing some songs as the background music.
Research shows that human activity is affected by sounds, or more accurately background music.
If fast-tempo music is played, human would move more quickly. So if a shopping mall manager is smart, he/she would always choose some soothing and relaxing music to play so that the customers would be slower and, thus, shop more!
Besides, music can bring back memories. And memories do actually fill up my free time. Although I don't really have somewhat super-unforgettable memory, I still like to think back those old times... and I would really have tears out if proper background music is there.
Some of the best musics always come from movies, dramas and games. But for quite a big group of people, good musics come from good-looking guys or chicks, or certain ethnics ( like those Korean fanboys do, only Korean musics are good for them :D )
Close your eyes, and listen with your heart.
Good musics do not have colours, but they give our lives colours.
Oh, it would be so freaking nice if the big TV in our IP building to play Balamb Garden background music. :D

故事
无聊中……
由于想要插入故事中的一大部分不适合写在宋朝时候，我只好把之前那故事改了背景，换另一个世界。
可是我在想，这样会不会太小孩化？
只要时间来临，我会开始写。
虽然还没有完全想好到底要有多少人物出现在内，可是我一路来都是顺其自然的。
其实，连主角是男人还是女人我都犹豫着。
只是想到后来，还是写男人好，因为我不是女人，有些事我不明白。
既然已经差不多肯定要写的是男人，那么我又要学习形容女人的字眼了。
很闷很够力却蛮重要的。
我希望这次的故事能够超过两万字。
虽然以前已经做得到，毕竟停笔久了，需要重新热身。
之后呢，可能会出修订版。
因为现在我还不知道开头和结尾应该怎样写。
这个故事我在考虑是不是要放上来。
因为我怕献丑……

dota competition
I have been busy these few days, for there was PKPMI DotA competition. Being in one of the teams to watch and the drafter of the team, I feel that if there is anything wrong I am the one to blame. Maybe it is just what I feel and not by others, but I still quite tension with it.
Marlboro has been the top gun but I know there is chance to win this competition. I don't care what Marlboro team members talk about us. From what I heard, they are not scared of our team. But from what they have been doing, I am sure that in their mind we are the only team they need to worry of. Because, they have been saving our replays almost everytime after playing with us. This shows that they have been finding solution to break our team play. So, are they really not afraid of our team?
We lost 4 games in total in the competition, while in league we lost to Marlboro and in semi we lost 1 to AFB and another 2 in final, to Marlboro. I do not blame anyone for getting silver, it was me who did not pick heroes properly due to lack of confidence in using SF and Lanaya. If I were given a chance to play again, I would still do the same thing.
I am here writing about this, to tell people that I am not so desperate for the win, unlike some people out there.
1st, I was the one who create the rules and if I really want to win this, I could have set the mode as -cd and not -cm. We are the team who first used most heroes and in -cd we would have a lot more advantages.
2nd, my lap top has no Warcraft III programme so I cannot watch any replay or practise at home. And I only touch back DotA 3 weeks before the competition.
3rd, all the finalists have Razer equipments except 2 from our team and 2 from Marlboro, and 2 of these people are sub for the teams respectively. So, can I who spend 0 win those who spent more than RM300? If can, Razer can quit already right?
4th, as I said before, Marlboro watched our replays while we didn't. But this is not against the rule so I am not blaming them. It just shows that they want to beat us so much that they spent some time on us.
5th, I did not use dota key during the whole competition. Even juniors use it. People who don't have Razer mouse and do not use dota key and reach final, that is me.
So if I win the competition, it is against the norm from the 5 reasons above. A person who do not see DotA as life and spend so much money and time on it, playing on par with those people, losing can be forgiven.
But there is one game that I am disappointed. The 2nd game of semi was so fail that I am still feeling sad.
Since it is over and the next DotA competition is far away, I am here to give some comments.
1st, playing with 2 carry heroes cannot win a team with same or higher skill level.
2nd, Akasha as warder, NA + Silencer, Vengeful and CM picks are my own ideas. I do not get them from any replays so I would like to copyright them. >D
3rd, I didn't use planned strategy, Obsidian + BB.
4th, I am the player who buy most wards from the competition.
5th, if I have to choose 1 MVP of the competition, it would be AARON.
6th, I am quiting again, until the next competition or playing for birthday boys.
7th, why are there people who did not think how to counter opponent's strategy, when I already revealed the opponent's heroes?
8th, being poor is one of the reasons people cannot play games at highest level, just like me.
9th, I won't train harder for the next competition,but I expect harder games.
10th, this competition is generally boring.

谈读书
看了一部戏，戏中有一句话一直被重复：
不求荣华富贵，但求能够开开心心地生活。
小时候我可说是一个很 猛 的学生。读书成绩好，参加什么都会得奖。琴棋书画样样都有学。
可是为什么现在却什么都没有？
因为早在数十年前我就理解了。
琴，我至今只会皮毛。
棋，我只会下。
书，用铅笔书写还好。
画，老故事了。
以前的我，成绩好，是因为以前真的觉得自己不可以输给别人。渐渐地觉得，成绩好真的那么重要吗？
所以，到了我盛年的末期，我开始觉得那些读书读到半死不活的人很可怜。那些读书读到半死不活而又不敢跟别人说自己有读书的人很可恶。那些读书读到半死不活而又不敢承认自己有读书而又阻止别人读书的人很没用。
其实啊，如果觉得读书能带来乐趣，那么人生就可以得到快乐和好成绩。可是，我不能。
当一个人即将死去，他所遗憾的，会是考不到好成绩，还是生活不快乐，还是辜负了别人，还是没能和心爱的人在一起？
如果我有三生，我所遗憾的，会是后面三个选择，也不会轮到成绩。
所以，我成绩不比别人好，不是因为我笨，而是我对我生活所领悟的不同。

说话
在马来西亚，不会说华语的华人都被称 香蕉人。因为香蕉外黄内白。马来西亚不会说华语的华人有超过80%是英文教育，外层黄色里面却像洋人。
有些香蕉人是世代香蕉的，他们或许不会说华语，可是懂得福建、广东、潮州等话。他们通常不把孩子送到华校，所以就成了香蕉家族。
有些香蕉人却是令我看扁和生气的。我记得我遇过一华族小孩，只会说英文，是个香蕉人。可是，他竟然觉得学习华语是一种耻辱，不学习英文很违反天理的样子。真想一巴掌打他。我听说新加坡的华人也有很多都认为学习华语老土，没用，而视英文为神。
我不是说英文不好，可是身为华人而不尊重自己祖先所传的语言，不用也罢，竟还讨厌它，这是什么啊？
老实说，我老爸也是个不懂华语的，而懂福建话的人。可是他也在慢慢地学习。
可是有一点，我们华人做得很好的是，如若两个人都懂得华语，所用的语言就是华语，除非是用本地语言如福建话等。这情况在马来西亚印度人间就比较难得。虽然两个人都懂得淡米儿文，却不一定会用它来沟通。
当然，这情景在衰退。试问现代社会，你见到一个陌生华人而且从来没见他开口过，你是用英语还是华语来打招呼？我所遇过的，是用英语。
就算我们用华语交谈，可是我们的华语已经不是正宗华语，而是马来西亚华语。就如 麻坡的华语，只有我们本地人会感到满意，别人不爽是别人的事。
试瞧瞧，身边多少人用“说”这个字，就明白了。

名字
今天想用华文写一篇文章。
身为华人，我们都有华文名字。很可惜现今社会，名字是同一个东西，不像古时候的人，有名也有字。拥有华文名字，是我们华人的一种象征。我在印尼读书，本地的华人也是有华文名字的。
可是所谓的潮流，让现代的年轻华人，尤其是会读会写的，把华文名字看成一个不值得被提的东西。非基督教徒自取英文名；哈韩哈日族以韩、日语代替自己的名字。这种事情不止发生于文化掺杂的马来西亚，连中国、台湾也有。
印尼的华人没有受到华文教育，他们能够学华文，也只有课外补习或家人来教导他们。他们反而比会读会写华文的华人更看重华文名字。只要有能力和有机会，他们会用他们华文名字。不像另一些人，自取英文或韩、日名字的。
华人名字拥有姓氏，每一个姓每一个氏都有自己的历史。据我所知，这是世界上最古老的，最特别的名字。
韩国与日本的根，还是中国。他们也是汉人的后代。可是为什么我们有哈韩、哈日，没有哈中？
我从小到现在，都以我的华文名字为荣。肥死部客上我用华文名字，别人称呼我都是华文名字，上课签名我写华文名字。

Read, Memorize, Study
When people are having pre-exam syndrome (check my older post about pre-exam syndrome for more information), the most popular words used would be STUDY.
But how many people really study out there? Not all. There are some people who read, some people who memorize, and some other who study. Based on my experience here in medical school, although I never do a research or survey on this, I think most people are actually MEMORIZING and not studying, and followed by READING and lastly STUDYING.
I would like to start off with the laziest of all - READ.
Reading means glance through, like someone reading newspaper or novel. Whatever read is read, and never read again although it might not be understood yet. Sometimes the person may repeat reading it if he/she finds it interesting.
Memorizing, I can say it is "read until you remember". It is very torturing to memorize so much stuff. There are a lot of ways to actually memorize something. Some people would use some familiar things to relate to the topic and then make it easier to memorize. Some people would just read the lectures 1000000 times until they can tell you every sentence in the lecture notes.
Studying is the best way, and the correct way I personally think, to be a student. People who really study are those who will do their own research when they read something they don't understand, am I right? Those research may be sources from books, internet or by asking a more knowledgeable persons.
So, why do people choose to use STUDY in conversation? Because it is the best among these. It is seldom to see people asking each other "Have you memorized the lectures?" "Have you read the lectures?" , but instead "Have you studied?" will be used.
