明建文初年，太祖崩猝，皇太孙朱允炆继位称帝建文，效法太祖杯酒释兵权行削藩之法。燕王早有戒备，见难将临，乃起兵“靖难”。叔侄争战三载，至四年六月，燕军始破南京。是时燕王身处北平，急欲往南京登基。北平城内有伯乐寻得七匹千里良驹，造车献上。王曰：“此去两千余里，需几日？”伯乐曰：“七匹俊足，车日行五百，四日可到。”王大喜，令伯乐驭，乘车南下。

初行，一骑走失，伯乐多喂水草，余马奋起，仍可日行五百。次日至冀，又失一马，且伯乐染疾，遂命一马代车夫之职驭四马拉车前行。一日昼夜兼程，只至冀南。燕王勃然，挥鞭痛笞，曰：“汝等尽皆千里之才，却不能以一当二乎？”四马曰：“今所剩仅过半，如日行三百尚可勉力为之。”王不以为意，只道四马偷懒推诿，严词一日五百里，逆者鞭刑。四马皆潸然，叹曰：“四驹便可日行五百，焉需七马南辕乎？既如此，自当以死报伯乐知遇之恩。”挥鞭五百里至苏北，四马皆力尽而卒，只余代驭之马拉车，虽鞭至手软，车不能进一步。王大怒，拔剑诛伯乐。建文帝忠臣铁玄率残部撤至此间，擒燕王，越八日壬申以寸凌迟。

It's no longer striking for me to have this kind of revelation after watching men's weight lifting, gymnastic.

These are the heros that carrie and shape China's national pride.

Long Qingquan won the Men's Weightlifting 56 kilogram final on August 10, 2008.

Chinese Zhang Xiangxiang wins men's 62kg class weightlifting gold in Olympics on Monday, August 11, 2008.

China scored a total of 286.125 points to win the men's gymnastics team gold medal at the Beijing Olympic Games here on Tuesday, August 12, 2008.

Chinese Zhang Xiangxiang totaled 319 kilograms to win the men's 62kg class weightlifting gold medal at the Olympic Games here on Monday, August 11, 2008.

And let's not forget about the Chinese women athletes who also did an incredible job in the hunt for gold medals.

Although suffering from less physical glamors and more hadicapped positions in a romantic race for life-long consort, short men have demonstrated their true value in accomplishing great deeds.

Deng Xiaoping -- Architect of China's Reform and Openingup. Without him, the Chinese may still live in stone age.

As for the tall guys, could anyone think of any correlation between basketball, soccer and Olympic gold?

RT，老了老了-。0 猫肥老了。。。

还有10本金庸小说没看。。。

还有动画作品没做。。。

肚子上还有肥油没来及减。。。

我怎么就26了呢，Faint...

我很少写中文blog，不过为了奋斗，例外一下。

看完奋斗（最后几集浮光掠影了一下，实在是没时间了，拍32集，节奏上还是不够紧凑），对主要人物有一些概括。

陆涛：刚愎自用。我实在是找不出第二个形容词了。整部就他最任性，最不知谦恭，最傲（要是有真本事，傲一下也就罢了，从头看到尾，就没看出来什么闪光的才华,尤其是不肯承认失败和吸取教训）对长辈也不知道尊重，说轻了是自我，重点就是自私。30年后最没出息的应该就是他。

夏琳：比较矛盾的一人，说实话不觉得现实中有这样的人存在。看上陆涛这样的，得需要多瞎的眼睛啊。

米莱：原应叹息。促成了2对儿，第一次把自己男友折出去了，第二次促成了华子那对儿。如此挫败的经历，再加上内心极度渴求的依靠，30年后，很有可能早已剃度出家。。。

向南：挺好的小孩儿。脾气好，也有爱玩游戏的劣根性。事业上属于比较稳健的。感情上由于谈恋爱过晚造成和杨晓芸结婚后还得补课。代价是一段曲折的婚姻。30年后应该是小有成就。

杨晓芸：和向南一样需要在实践中锻炼成长的小孩。她和向南能有最后的结果实在是运气好，很不容易了。就是可怜了瑶瑶。不过这也说明，网络姻缘素靠不住滴。30年后不知道能不能长大。

华子：混。还好，在电视剧最后混出了自己奋斗的目标，就是为了自己爱的人的梦想而奋斗。依我看，30年后成就最大的就是他，至少是一执行女友（那时也许是媳妇）各种构想的Chief Executive Officer.

Call me pessimistic but generally I'm not a fan of Beijing's metro and genuinely I don't think that the city is going to leave visitors a good impression.

The typical rush hours start from morning, somewhere around 7:00, streching all the way to 9:30.

In the carriage, apart from weary working class who take almost 80% of the standing space, there are tourists, currently mainly domestic ones. It's easy to know from their empty gaze and disappointing look at the door that perhaps they're going to have to wait for the next one.

The capacity has been squeezed to its limitation. The interval between trains has been shortened to less than one minute during rush hours. And BT line trains are alreay running with 6 carriages (had been four).

Keep in mind that there's still a week from the actual opening ceremony. Imagine, if you are bold enough, a thousand nations of foreign visitors descend upon Beijing's punny metro... honestly I don't think there's room left on the trains.

42 billion RMB spent for the Olympic and the traffic is appalling discouraging. I wonder where all these money went? Part of that money is my fucking tax, for Buddha's sake!

Spent a few hundred bucks and arrived at the satisfying result of setting up my home wireless network. Connected all computers, laptops and desktops into a lan via a netgear wireless AP.

What the center does:

• Play vids on Youtube, on my 46 inch LCD and full 5.1 audio playback.
• Synchronize emails, documents and all sorts of offices materials on every computer.
• Audio on the go, enjoy live music and radio from the internet

Next, I'll be getting myself a set of wireless keyboard and mouse, which will be essential for the center to truly realize its fourth function: doing everything with a computer in my cosy sofa 

Spent a whole day, with the morning being a tedious but indispensable process of tutorial learning. The afternoon witnessed my endless experienments with different modeling techniques covered in the video tutorial... and at around 18:00, I arrived at the following results, rendered using mental ray in maya 2008:

So this, is the basic story of how an entire idiot of 3D modeling turned into a novice in the particular field in the duration of ... 12 hours.

We, as those who hold family as the first, are idealists. Our ideal, is to make as much money as possible.

I still remember that some righteous UN dude said that poverty is the greatest of all sins. Can't agree more on this notion. Many of our daily problems are no longer problems if we're empowered by the most equal measurement of all things, currency. Yet the conundrum of ways to realize the ideal remains in hot debate.

The ancient Chinese had a proverb: A gentleman likes wealth, and acquires it  through decent means. However, modern Chinese seems to leave this wise line behind, as long as you can make money, it doesn't really matter how you made it. The old wisdom is replaced by money worship values.

Why am I writing this piece of shit? Totally no idea at all, probably just feeling the urge to accumulate more wealth and let my family have a better life.

We, the combination of animation class, designer class and mobile meida class watched a documentary exclusively on Helvetica today.

The documentary was directed by Gary Hustwit.

Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowned designers about their work, the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type.
　　Helvetica encompasses the worlds of design, advertising, psychology, and communication, and invites us to take a second look at the thousands of words we see every day.
　　The film was shot in high-definition on location in the United States, England, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France and Belgium. It is currently in post-production and is slated to begin screening at film festivals worldwide starting in early 2007.

To be a designer or an artist is really a luxury for any individual. At the time of creation, you're in a purer status, more secluded from earthly desires and tangles. All you have is the joy of being a god of creation. To build, construct and create something from scratch with the hands of God, pretty much like being Brahma(the Hindu god of creation) himself. I'm not sure what it's like for others, but for me it's a moment of sheer serenity, be it sketching a draft for a website, or a character design, or a logo creation. 

Although extremely busy, I was still able to squeeze 3 hours at night for a little tool to facilitate Server side management.

Here're the snapshots:

ERP(Enterprise ResourcePlanning)企业资源计划系统，是指建立在信息技术基础上，以系统化的管理思想，为企业决策层及员工提供决策运行手段的管理平台。

一天中午，丈夫在外给家里打电话：*亲爱的老婆，晚上我想带几个同事回家吃饭可以  
吗？*（订货意向）  
妻子：*当然可以，来几个人，几点来，想吃什么菜？*  
丈夫：*6个人，我们7点左右回来，准备些酒、烤鸭、番茄炒蛋、凉菜、蛋花汤……。你  
看可吗？*（商务沟通）  
妻子：*没问题，我会准备好的。*（订单确认）  
妻子记录下需要做的菜单（MPS计划），具体要准备的东西：鸭、酒、番茄、鸡蛋、调  
料……（BOM物料清单），发现需要：1只鸭蛋，5瓶酒，4个鸡蛋……（BOM展开），炒蛋需  
要6个鸡蛋，蛋花汤需要4个鸡蛋（共用物料）。  
打开冰箱一看（库房），只剩下2个鸡蛋（缺料）。  
来到自由市场，妻子：*请问鸡蛋怎么卖？*（采购询价）  
小贩：*1个1元，半打5元，1打9.5元。*  
妻子：*我只需要8个，但这次买1打。*（经济批量采购）  
妻子：*这有一个坏的，换一个。*（验收、退料、换料）  
回到家中，准备洗采、切菜、炒菜……（工艺线路），厨房中有燃气灶、微波炉、电饭  
煲……（工作中心）。  
妻子发现拨鸭毛最费时间（瓶颈工序，关键工艺路线），用微波炉自己做烤鸭可能来  
不及（产能不足），于是决定在楼下的餐厅里买现成的（产品委外）。  
下午4点，接到儿子的电话：*妈妈，晚上几个同学想来家里吃饭，你帮忙准备 一下。  
*（紧急订单）  
*好的，你们想吃什么，爸爸晚上也有客人，你愿意和他们一起吃吗？*  
*菜你看着办吧，但一定要有番茄炒鸡蛋，我们不和大人一起吃，6：30左右回来。*（  
不能并单处理）  
*好的，肯定让你们满意。*（订单确定）  
鸡蛋又不够了，打电话叫小贬送来。（紧急采购）  
6：30，一切准备就绪，可烤鸭还没送来，急忙打电话询问：*我是李太，怎么订的烤  
鸭还不送来？*（采购委外单跟催）  
*不好意思，送货的人已经走了，可能是堵车吧，马上就会到的。* 门铃响了。  
*李太太，这是您要的烤鸭。请在单上签一个字。*（验收、入库 、转应付账款）  
6：45，女儿的电话：*妈妈，我想现在带几个朋友回家吃饭可以吗？*（呵呵 ，又是  
紧急订购意向，要求现货）  
*不行呀，女儿，今天妈已经需要准备两桌饭了，时间实在是来不及，真 的非常抱  
歉，下次早点说，一定给你们准备好。*（哈哈，这就是ERP的使用局限，要有稳定的  
外 部环境，要有一个起码的提前期）  
送走了所有客人，疲惫的妻子坐在沙发上对丈夫说：*亲爱的，现在咱们家请客的频率  
非常高，应该要买些厨房用品了（设备采购），最好能再雇个小保姆（连人力资源系  
统也有缺口了）。  
丈夫：*家里你做主，需要什么你就去办吧。*（通过审核）  
妻子：*还有，最近家里花销太大，用你的私房钱来补贴一下，好吗？*（最后就是应  
收货款的催要）  
现在还有人不理解ERP吗？记住，每一个合格的家庭主妇都是生产厂长的有力竞争者

My little mouse wanted me to draw a cartoon, so I spent 2.5 hours on Painter 10 with my 300 RMB something shabby digital tablet...

Without further ado, let snap shots do their talkings :)

For a better view, click on the image.

Recently I've ventured into the world of computer programing a little bit, which partly explained my absense from the internet.

Here's a little tool I wrote in order to deal with the tedious long hours of repeatative work ( I hate any word processor without spelling check...well if you find me suck in spelling correct words, me afraid you gotta eat it!)

Some snap shots here:

The last snap shot is the core function, a must have tool for making up dinners that literally don't exist. It's pretty clever. It will generate a random expenditure statement according to your receipt's amount. For example, if your receipt is less than 150 RMB, it will generate a statement saying you've dined with ONE guy for a certain discussion. If your receipt is between 150RMB and 400RMB, it will add another guy at the dinning table, making the expenditure looks more reasonable. If your bill is between 400-800RMB, it will add a third person. If your bill surpasses 800RMB, which is kindda rare, it will pop up a window and say you'd better manually add some other people just to make sure the statement looks ok~ Pretty clever little program, huh?

The weekend was spent in Oakwood Residential, one of the most acclaimed service apartment in town.

The place was brand new, you could just move in naked. Everthing from bath robe to kitchen wares had been prepared before we checked in.

Our unit was a one bedroom suite with a living room. The 5.1 Stereo system was a plus which I didn't expect. The whole place is kind of expensive, like 30 thousand RMB per month. But given its proximity to CCTV new building in Guomao, I'd say it's going to be one of the most favored recesses in downtown area. However, before all that summer palace fantasy becomes real, I have to watch my financial balance sheet really carefully. For that all comfortable and beautiful lives are built upon cold mathematics.

Saturday launch in Flicker, a Brazilian BBQ buffet chain. Food was gorgeous, although it still cannot outweight Golden Jaguar's 230/per person buffet, most dishes were splendid.

Oh, we went to Houhai at night. After strolling along the Bar street river a few times, we finally settle down in a bar called Tingyue, or Listening to the Moon. It wasn't until the moment we paid the bill that we found out it was the bar's first day of business.

The bar has a four person band, live music with pop songs. Two boys and two girls. I especially like the talented keyboard boy who imitates both Jay Chou and Wang Lihong pretty well. He sang songs while playing his Yamaha, and was able to switch between his falsetto and normal pitch freely.

My beloved was very happy that I brought her to such lively  place. Beside the appreciation of pop music, we ordered two beers, Heinkin and Corola. I also added some french fries with ketchup. We returned to Oakwood at 24:00.

Normally it's not my style to jot down the trivialities in life, but the eudaemonic moments cannot be categorized as trivial. Hence the above words. Oh, and this time there won't be any translation from English to Chinese, I'd quote from the movie Bedazzled, "Anyone speaks English anyhow, and if they don't they ought to!"
