The best person to get married to is money

Taro Aso(麻生太郎), Prime Minister of Japan suggested to his country men and women not to get married if they are poor. Although he didn't said what constitute poor, but his advise is sound. There are also tons of reason that you might consider not to get married, like

 - You want to destroy humanity in a 100 years
 - You dislike your gahmen and foresee that they will not change in the near future
 - Your career is unstable
 - Your parent is poor(means they have to work at old age and cannot help to take care your children)
 - You are not very well education. Gene is very important, we got to breed elite

Other than the above reason, you might also consider staying single if, your workplace is too far from home; your work is stressful; you want to save your money for yourself. Etc, etc.

I think you can find more excuses reason not to get married than I can tell you

你究竟有几个夜?

孔子的男人四十而立算算也有两千多年了，它除了成为华人用来衡量男人个性成熟的准则外，也让我们了解到，人，需要比其它的动植物还要长的时间来塑造自己。试 想想看，我们是几岁开始有自觉性？所谓自觉性，就是我思故我在，所有的喜怒哀乐、悲欢离合都能在回忆中把它拾起，从新肯定自己的感受。换句话说，就是不再浑浑 噩噩，真实的感觉到自己的存在。以最早来算，人，大概能想起五岁的事，十六岁之前，不能肯定的说出自己的性格。十六岁到四十岁，二十多年来追求完成，不长 不短，也不知到完全的定意。

你知道吗？一棵树只需大约两年，就进入了成年期，然后在成年期里，又活上几百年。有没有想过，树能活上百年，为什么要急着长大？人生苦短，为什么我们却要慢慢的长大？大自然、老天爷对我们未免太偏心了吧！

要用短暂又有限的生命，来追求无限而又不知道是什么东东的完美。人，是不是好像在钻牛角尖？

我四十了，终于也明白到什么叫完美。当你准备随时都能无牵无挂无遗憾的离开这世界时，一切就完美了。

Unbreakable password

As you tread across the web for years, your Internet identity accumulated and password became a nuisance. Many will implement simple password, e.g "password" or "drowssap", to avoid the tediousness of managing password. I once face the same problem. I know, off course, you can always click that 'Forgot Password' button and check your email, but it is still an unnecessary step.

I implemented this recently. Now I can remember 20 passwords without writing them down somewhere. I can say, you can drug me, but you may not get those words from my mouth, although I am yet to prove this.

The trick is not remembering those words in your password. Remember it's pattern. Let me elaborate.

Visualize your keyboard as a white board. Write a 'v' with your left hand, write a Chinese word '一' with your right. I believe you know human brain kept images better than words. There you have it. Just put the v一 on your keyboard. You can create pattern, mesh them up, create a 32bit password without breaking a sweat.

Now. How can get someone to tell you his password if it is only a picture in his mind? Even if he reveals the pattern, you would not know where to apply the pattern.

Click the above picture for a simple example. Good luck!

Note: Before I write this, wife call to ask for my PC password. I cannot remember.

Strategy differences between Son and I

Ray and I recently start to have strategy differences. I am reluctant to go into this. Friends who understand me knew I have a weak spot. I hate politic. It makes me cruel, inhumane, and cannot see myself in the mirror. I am so good in it, I become another being, not human.

Last night Ray was given board game "Battleship" by his uncle for his Birthday. He, off course, immediately challenges me to a battle. I laugh at this feeble attempt. We clear the dinning table for the fight.

I lost 2 games out of 2 games. The boy outgrown me faster than I anticipated.

We call it a night because he needs to attend school the next day. No, I quit because it was just too humiliating. I expected a close duel, but this is too much for a mid-aged man like me. An egoistic old man. I feel exhausted. My long night..

Happy Birthday! Ray. You are the best I've got.

By power of Quran, scientist declare Islam is true Religion

A scientist in Egypt made a "remarkable" discovery. He claims that by exposing water to the chant of The Anthan, it's molecule will transforms into beautiful shape. Every time, without failed. Quote from Ghost of a flea,

"The egyptian scientist B.sc.Ms.Ph.D explained the water molecules took beautiful shapes everytime they are exposed to air vibrations from reading the holy Quran or saying the word islam or the muslim call to prayer the athan."

Scientists in Japan microscopically confirmed Islam is the correct religion.
