Why Microsoft?
Firstly, user friendliness. Most users, especially IT users are lazy, if a simply click would do everything we need, why shall we waste our precious time typing?
Secondly, availability. It is a very popular product line, used by people all over the world, at least none of my friends are using others.
Thirdly, and this is the most amazing part. Microsoft means evolution and innovation. We can see that from many angles. For example, software recently are no longer as clumsy and stupid look as few years ago, with its improved development tools, a programmer can spend more time on user friendliness, not speaking the tool, in some points, help to improve the design as well.
Also, Microsoft has came with an evolution of our culture! Check this website. For people, all over the world, especially Chinese, we all know a popular dirty word C*B** (let’s make it short: “CB”). And thanks to MS, people, not only Chinese, will learn this hokkien word, maybe with its other meaning, but when a new bird google it, we knows he might learn a dirty word, people learn bad things faster all the time!
Guys, raise our glass, “To Microsoft!”

How well do you know Huan Chee Wei?
I believe you are also a facebook user, it is rated as a best networking tool in world now and most of my friends are members. Recently, more and more quizzes are coming up, testing your personality, characteristics, concepts (about love, gender, etc) , and many more.
This morning, Chin Dy and I created our "How well you know me" quiz. Published and invitations sent, and I think those questions are easy enough that after my friends took it, I can laugh at the result and tell the world: "See how well I express myself! Ho~ Ho~ Ho~".
I'm kind of "big mouth", I think I shared most of my occasions, feelings, thoughts, and information with my friends in excruciating detail.
However, thing just don't come up as I planned, or dreamed...Guys, we just need to get together more ^^
Another however here, we, no matter good or bad, are not only judge by our grade, same thing goes here, I, Libra, am all about fairness, no grades here, OK!
For anyone who feel insulted, I'm sorry, definitely no offense.
For anyone who feel sorry, visit my blog more often, checks on the updates and clicks on the advertisements, or buy me a meal.
For anyone who feel being tricked, shout to me!

Are you ready for another bite?
As you might noticed, a brand new season of "True Blood" is going to release, at 14 June.
We have many things in common in “True Blood” with other vamp stories, first, the sunlight brings negative impact to those fangs; second, blood is their power; third, normally they are gorgeous; forth, normally there will be an heroin that the fangs are attracted, no matter the blood flows in her body, or the special ability that she posses; and etc.
However, there is something special in this story that I could not find in others…I bet I have not really learned vamp enough…in “True Blood”, the fangs race stand out for their right, to have same life as human do! Japanese releases a product, something like fake blood, named “true blood”, for the fangs as their daily source, so that fangs do not need to kill for blood. Undoubtly, some people, especially those from various religions, against on it, hardly accept blood sucker as their neighbor.
In season 1, Bill Compton, our handsome (but looks a bit old, maybe he was turned in the late age) came his hometown, a village called Louisiana, and met Sookie Stackhouse, who has the ability to fail all the fangs skill like enchanting that falls on her, like Bella Swan in Twilight saga. Later, people in the small village were killed and Swan became the next target when she was found dating Bill. With the help from Bill and her employer, Sam Merlotte, she managed to save herself, and found the murderer. However, not every story ends well, in order to help Sookie, Bill was punished as he hurt his own race which result in the arrival of an immature vampire named Jessica. And the season ended with the death of the cook in Sam’s cafe, Lafayette Reynolds, likely.
I’m a bad story teller but for those vamp fans, please visit its official website for details of season 1 and season 2 trailers as well as more on tv.com.

First Italian Movie?
I did write the title in my gossip girl post and I thought of blog this movie, and I'm working on it here ^^
"Sorry If I Love You", in Italian, Scusa ma ti chiamo amore (not the Korean drama "I'm Sorry, I Love You"), I found it somewhere in the forum, with high score, so I plan to risk myself. It's great, starting from the first scene, "banning Italian movie/drama in my life" has already gotten rid of my mind. It is rumor, romantic story, hmm... for guys, the girl is very very pretty! Amazed!
Let's check the synopsis:
Niki and her girlfriends are in their last year of high school. Though they must take their finals, they are always into some sort of mischief. Alex, a man of almost thirty-seven, has just been dumped by his long-time girlfriend. A round him revolves a complex, entertaining world: his parents, his married sisters and their children and his three friends each of them already married, but with various distinctive characteristics. Alex has a high-level job at an advertising agency, but the arrival of a driven young go-getter threatens his position in the firm. And that would be the least of it, if he had not met Niki in the morning. Niki is a smart, pretty girl. There is only one problem. She is seventeen. Twenty years younger than Alex. But starting with their morning encounter, nothing will ever be the same &.
Alessandro is a 32 years-old man who's looking for the perfect advertising not to loose his job, after being left by his girlfriend Elena. Niki is a 17 years-old student, she's preparing her high school exams. One day, Alessandro accidentally runs over Niki, from that moment on everything will start to change.
Here is the trailer (sorry no english-sub):
Official Video Clip (not english-sub as well):
Gossip Girl
Among my favourite drama, most of them have reached their end of seasons, so, in month of May, I'll spend my time on Gossip Girl. Not sure why, most of my friends does not like it, none of the guys like it. Why? It is not that girlish till guys can't take it...Sarah told me that she felt hard to connect the drama to her life, and so she prefer Friends, which I don't even watch any of the episodes.
I do feel it's a great drama, maybe it's too luxury (it talks 'bout wealthy teenagers growing up on New York City's Upper East Side) and the relationship among those so called friends is a bit (humble statement) complicated, but I think we all can take it easily, especially those has been brain wash with Taiwanese and Korean drama.
Well, personally, I like their dialogues a lot, I never find english can be so~~~ sweet, even though I did find some drama with nice dialogues, for example, the Luthor family in Smallville, theirs is so~~~ gentleman, while they were actually argueing or even scolding each other.
Recalling my preferences...are the dialogues of a drama/movie that important for me?
Yeah, undoubtly!
I can easily fell in love with drama/movie/novel with nice, great, excellent, humor...whatever positive comment...
Then I think I should find a girl that talks in a gossip girl way? Hmm...then I might not know if she was tissing me...
Well, L&G, I have almost full set of Gossip Girl season 1 & 2 (season 2 has not yet ended)! Some of them are double channel subtitled (chinese & english)! And I plan to collect all episodes with C&E subbed!
Visit here for photos!

2nd Trip to The Mines
Today I went there to meet my insurance agent, Alan, is this my 3rd time meeting him, first was the tea time with my sis, her boss Keng San and Alan; Second time, when I signed my agreement for the insurance, and 4 years after that, we met again, to talk bout the policy, well, the main topic was on my VIOS (which I drained all my money for), as he is going to get a VIOS or CITY.
Both of us are fresh to this nearby (in my case) shopping mall, so we decided to find an easy-to-find venue, and I suggested Old Town. I was early, initially we should meet at 2.30, I think so, because in his SMS, he wrote 2 stg, I have been thinking for quite a few minutes on the statement, "2 something" or "2 setengah"? I was asking myself, end up I decided to depart at 1.30 as Chin Dy said that place was very crowded during weekend, so I can arrive there around two, and I have never thought of asking Alan what is meant by "stg"...
My plan was just perfect, just some aspects were estimated incorrectly. First, distance and traffic condition, I over estimated both of them. I thought I would be trapped and take at least 1/2 to reach there, so I took bath at 12, 10 minutes for facial cleaning, 1/2 hour for hair drying (naturally), 15 minutes for hairdo, and I still had time for my Fullmetal Alchemist 2009 (钢之炼金术师2009), ended up, I still reached there at 1.50, well, it wasn't so bad after all...as the it is not that far and may be I'm getting familiar to the road and the traffic jam was that not bad after all...not until the next aspect (Stephenie Meyer's writing style?).
I received a SMS, he was still in PJ, so postponed to 3. OK, fine, window shop for a while, which eventually I spent, for a Natio scrub. 5 minutes before 3, I walked into Old Town, ordered a drink, White Milk Tea, and wait wait wait...
3.20, phone rang, bad sign! I took the call, great! 3rd aspect joined the party! He took the wrong path, I know he is not familiar, but I thought at least he know how to go to the Mines, well, without 2nd thought, I ordered a Dry Curry mee, and finished them before he arrived, it was a fast meal, not my style at all!
I always take my meal slowly, it's not that I can't eat fast, just that I have a bad habit. I like noodle, especially with soup, people, or grown people will take noodles directly into their mouth, but what I do is, take some noodles, put on the soup spoon, and slow put into mouth. Not much different? What if the noodles always fall out of the spoon and I need to rearrange then back to the spoon? With "appropriate amount" of noodles that fit my mouth? It takes time, and I believe it is childish too...Am I enjoying myself doing that? Having fun with the noodles? Like cat playing around with rats before kill them? Ah lah! I'm not that cruel or psychopath...
