It was a long CNY vacation for me, enjoyable although tiring. I hope you have had a good one :)
When I saw MCA advertisement on TV, I don't know, I just felt it is a waste of money in this kind of economy situation :p

马后炮 'ma hao pao'
If you know cantonese, 马后炮 (in cantonese read as 'ma hao pao') means someone said something meaningless after the occasion. For example, you decided to go for a vacation, a friend of you know about it but say nothing. When you return, you mentioned the place is not nice and not worth the trip. Then that friend suddenly say "I know it, that place is not worth to visit, only you will go". That is called 马后炮, not giving advice up front but after it happened.
I have this feeling after I read a post from sinchew.com.my When the issue is hot, where is that dearest Mister? He hardly comment at that time. When the issue was settle down, only started to say something. No offense but my personal view is that his word is so hollow. Is BN support figure really raise? Who did the survey? Again, no offense, just some logical question to ask, before believe in anything politician say.

The color of the phlegm 痰的颜色
Remember the song The Color Of The Wind? It is a nice song. Did you ever know the color of the phlegm also carry certain meaning to reflect our body health status?
A common Chinese understanding is that it will indicate your body is Cold 寒or Hot 热气. Recently I read a traditional chinese medicine book bought from Beijing, phlegm may not produce in only lung but also other organ of our body, e.g. stomach. The color indicates the origin of the phlegm, then you will know which organ is working or in trouble (I'd lend the book to a friend, I will put more details when I get it back). When I google for more information, there are different explanation by different body.
I am not sure how accurate is the information, I am not a medical practioner nor scientist, be skeptical with the information and see if it sounds logical to you :)

痰的颜色与性状检查
How much do you know about Moon? How much do you know about your own body?
How much do you know about people surrounding you? How much do you know about yourself?
We know very less how our body works (I don't think no one in the current world know exactly all. If there is, there will be no cancer. Cancer is a disease which we do not know how to cure effectively yet.) If we don't even know our own body, please don't expect you will know other people mind, and don't expect other people can read your mind all the times ;) By this, there will be less quarrel and life will be happier :D 我不祈求别人100%懂我，因为我自己也不100%懂我自己 :D

我的钱不是我的 My money is not mine
When the government first announce on the changes of income tax, you might see some amount changes in your payroll. The net pay you get will be different depending on which tax range you are in. Frankly, I cannot understand how the system work until today. Anyhow I have a feeling that my money is no longer mine... Don't quote me wrong, I ａｇｒｅｅ ａｓ ａ ｒｅｓｉｄｅｎｔ， ｉｔ ｉｓ ｆａｉｒ ｔｏ ｐａｙ ｓｏｍｅ ｔａｘ ａｓ ｔｈｅ ｇｏｖｅｒｎｍｅｎｔ ｗｉｌｌ ｕｓｅ ｉｔ ｆｏｒ your good i.e. building infrastructure, getting more working opportunity and etc. Just that it is a matter of the money I paid worth what I get in return... (I guess you all know the answer :p )
I have to write in mandarin for the rest of this blogpost because that feeling get stronger after I read a newspaper posting.
如果你有听过我的回忆不是我的，我想唱我的钱不是我的，自从政府更改了税务征收方式。
---------
没钱的总会任性 破产的总会用气力
将最好的过去将最多的细碎 锁到属于你的钱包
没钱的不够耐性 没钱的不信是注定
于最黑的世界于最光的刹那 感到属于钱的气味
即使很多血汗钱 能用的通通你的
为着是基本的生活 通通都可不要
但饭始终要吃 屋始终要住
oh baby
当晚与你看着薪水单 今晚偏偏想起银行存摺
我的钱不再受制于我我承认 我的钱也许你的
当晚与你上网交税务 今晚站在大地自己伤心
难道送别钱总是永不回头 谁能怪我总是太感性
失望的都有惰性 失忘的都记住约定
当理想的世界当理想的刹那 因爱无分你的我的
------
当政府采取这个行动，而且征收信用卡税务，我第一个感觉：政府没钱了。
如果你的寿命90年，多给你一个月的寿命，不算多，才0.0009%；如果你的寿命6个月，多给你一个月的寿命，很多，17%。
永远加上一年，不算多，几乎是0%；2年加上一年，很多，50%
如果你有很多钱，多给你点，不算多；如果你不多钱，多给你一点，很多。
个人税务本来回扣8千，变成9千，在这么多年都没有调动的情形来看，不多。生活费涨价得比较多。
当一个人想尽办法用正确路途挖你的钱，有2个可能，或更多：
1） 没钱了
2） 很有钱但要更多钱
第一个可能性比较高吧，因为第二个可能性比例不高（世界上有钱的人比例不高）。
加油吧，我也要加油学习新系统如何可以要求减低每个月的个人税务扣除。
哦，我不是投诉，只是陈诉一个事实 ；）
和你分享，我的回忆不是我的。
伤心的总会任性 灰心的总会用气力
将最好的过去将最多的细碎 锁到属于你的眼睛
失恋的不够耐性 失恋的不信是注定
于最黑的世界于最光的刹那 感到属于你的气息
即使很多一起过的 想起的通通你的
为着是浪漫的爱情 通通都可再见
但承诺可再听 什么可不变色
oh baby
当晚与你记住蒲公英 今晚偏偏想起风的清劲
回忆不再受制于我我承认 回忆也许你的
当晚与你记住流水声 今晚站在大地自己倾听
难道送别你回头总是虔诚 谁能怪我总是太感性
失恋的都有惰性 失恋的都记住约定
当理想的世界当理想的刹那 因爱无分你的我的

Outlook email read notification
If you are an Microsoft outlook user, if you are not known about this.
A: MK, why you never read my email?
MK: I read, why you said I never read?
A: The read receipt you sent to me said you didn't read.
MK: Read receipt?
Then I went to play with Outlook options. Then I found out the reason.
I like to have reading pane in my Outlook as below:
After finish reading email 1, if I do not need keep it, I will just hit delete. The same for email 2 and 3. Take note the icon is a closed envelope when I delete the email, which if the email sender requested a read receipt, by default, a not-read receipt will be send, although I actually read it using the reading pane. To have a read notification sent, I have to double click (or scroll up and down to another email) to have an open envelope icon, then the read receipt will be a Read notification.
If you have a question, why am I not aware if a read receipt ever been sent? To customize to your needs, go to Tools | Options | Email Options | Tracking Options. Change it according to your needs.
Go through after email options if possible, to let the tool help you better. Enjoy emailing ;)

Kek Lok Si Lighting in year 2010
After a gathering, we went to Kek Lok Si, as SP knew the lighting ceremony fall on today (Feb 7 2010). Thanks to SP :D
We reached there about 9pm. There were no big crowd, can find parking easily. On our way up, we saw two non-Chinese photographer walking down hill with their tripod.
These are all typical shot, no time to take creative shot :)
The first entrance.
The light was off around 9.30 am, just when KH and SP about to press the shutter button, too bad. We have no chance to reach Guan Yin statue at all before the light switched off :p Have to come on other day then :)
