Recently, one of my best friends told me that she was unhappy with her current job. I think this is always one of our unhappiness. I always try to tell myself.. Be contented with my life, Be happy!!! Sometimes, I still will feel unhappy due to some stupid reasons, such as my simulation is not working, there are some bugs in my program, my weight goes up... the list goes on. Still, I carry on with my everyday life. Sitting in front of my small but "powerful" laptop (Don't forget it is my source of "power" (Money is power), doing the so-called "research", listening to linkin park, I lives on... Share the following article with you guys, hope that everyone can manage their own key to the happiness.. I love a song very much- "beautiful - christina aguilera"... "I am beautiful... you cant bring me down.. " Dear friends, don't let those unhappiness bring you down! Stand up and be brave.. Let's live our life to its fullest!
是谁在掌管着你的快乐钥匙?
怎么我的命这么苦？为什么生活这么无聊？为什么我的上司是个女人？而且还是个上了年纪没人肯要的女人？有没有男朋友她也管，穿的漂亮一点上班她也管。真的比我妈还关心我。
我，就是一个这样的人。发唠叨应该算是我的习惯吧？ 常常因为这些小事而闷闷不乐的我只好发泄在无辜朋友的身上。他们礼拜六和礼拜天务必要出来听我发发唠叨，让我顺顺气，让我的人生填些色彩…但最今我发现自己有些不寻常？已经三个星期没发唠叨了。朋友都说：‘喂,你是不是病了？’，‘是不是又搞什么新花样？’，‘少了那条筋了？ 真的破世界记录了。’ 我都说：‘没事啊？ 我还活着,而且生活还瞒愉快呢！’ 可他们总是会回答：‘惨咯!我们的林小姐真的有点神经病了！’ #@$#@$@# ！！ 我发唠叨时，他们说我烦，不发唠叨时就说我疯。我还真不知道什么时侯的我对他们来说是‘正常’的？？？
为什么不再发唠叨呢？我想我是被他影响的吧？几个星期前在路上碰见他。他，是我中学时候的一个同学。曾经我们算是很要好的朋友吧。天南地北，什么东西男人女人都聊的朋友。就这样我们那天在咖啡厅从中午聊到晚上。我问他: ‘ 我有变吗？’他说：‘ 哦。。除了长高点，漂亮多了，头发卷了，其它的还是一样。你还是视发唠叨为爱好。’啊哟，真是知我者非他莫属呀 ！！结果我又开始发作了。从我的近况发到男友，再到家庭，最后工作。他看着闷闷不乐的我说: ‘甘吗不开心？发发唠叨，顺顺气就好了，为什么要影响自己的心情呢？日子还是一样要过的啊，而且我不觉得你的生活有什么问题…告诉你，我才刚被女友‘飞’了，工作也没了，被公司裁员，可我还不是一样要过活？有的选择，甘吗不选择活得开心自在？’我那时真的吓了一跳！没想到他现在的情况这么糟糕！可他一脸的笑容和快乐的谈吐，根本无法让我想像他现在竟然那么惨！！他继续说: ‘路，是你自己走的，快乐也是你自己选择，就看你自己怎么样去掌管？每个人心中都有把快乐的钥匙，但我们常在不知不觉中把它交给别人掌管。一个成熟的人会懂得握着自己的快乐钥匙，他不期待别人使他快乐，反而能将快乐和幸福带给别人！’我顿时好想被人从后脑敲了一下！想想他说的道理也瞒对的。为什么要把我的快乐钥匙交给那可恶的老姑婆掌管呢？为什么要交给烦重的工作掌管呢？干吗不自己好好掌管，活得开心自在，管他妈的什么老姑婆，工作，客户？？？影响我的生活，还可能导致荷尔蒙失调噢！真是太笨了！！！
就这样我决定了不再发唠叨。不过偶尔还是会发作一下。但至少我懂的会控制自己的情绪，不再为无聊的事而变得闷闷不乐，吃不下饭什么的。我把这个道理告诉了他们 - 那班猪朋狗友。而他们的结论是: 啊呀！你怎么这样笨啦！就一句 "一个成熟的人会懂得握着自己的快乐钥匙" 你就变成这个样子？’我说: ‘怎么啦？ 我这个样子又不正常吗？猪朋狗友说: ‘其实你的朋友是想间接说你幼稚吧？？因为你说你不快乐嘛，就表示你不会掌握你那个什么钥匙 对不对？’唉…真是鸡同鸭讲！告诉他们也不会明白的啦…他们只会埋怨我的朋友把我搞成这样，以后都不好玩了。真的气死我也！！不过，我以前确实是有点幼稚啦… 还是用‘单纯’比较好听。
So，你的快乐钥匙已经收回来好好掌管了吗？记得哦…一个成熟的人会懂得握着自己的快乐钥匙，不要再让你一时的幼稚把它交给别人咯！人生短短几十年，好好的享受和活得开心吧！！

I have visited an astonishing exhibition last Sunday, Prof Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS. In 1977, Gunther von Hagens invented the plastination technique which marked the beginning of a second anatomical revolution. Andreas Vesalius who created precise anatomical drawings as early as in 1543 was the pioneer of modern anatomy. Since then human corpses have slowly disappeared again from the human eye with the establishment of medical schools. A taboo emerged.
Gunther von Hagens’ plastinated bodies obviously touch upon this taboo and trigger controversial reactions throughout the world. The high number of visitors, however, proves the general population’s need to learn more about the structure and functions of their bodies."
The aim of the exhibition is to inform visitors and to open up the opportunity particularly to medical laymen to better understand their body and its functions. When viewing the exhibits we can become aware of the naturalness of our bodies and recognise the individuality and anatomical beauty inside.
This exhibition inspired me a lot. I have a deeper understanding of my own body. It presents a very real view of human body in front of the visitors. All the knowledge we learnt during biology classes reappeared in my mind and this exhibition has successfully given us a second chance to learn more about our own body. For more information, please visit here.

I have gone to USA Embassy in Singapore this morning. This is one of my "first times". Hehe... first time applying for USA Visa... It is located on Napier Road. Actually I didn't know how to get to that place. But I knew that it is nearby orchard road. Therefore, I took Bus 143 in order to reach Orchard Road and try to walk to USA Embassy from Orchard. Later on, I found out that the place is rather far from Orchard. By no choice, I took a cab. Spent SGD3 to save about 15 minutes' walk. ;-) Once I got to that place, I showed them the letter to ask me for an interview. The security personnel let me in but asked me to leave my bag and all other electronic equipments with them. After that, I went into the division where non-immigrant US visa is processed and got myself a "Q"-number. Then, a foreign guy interviewed me. He was very friendly and approved my visa application on the spot! Hehehe.. after all, this is a great experience for me and I am looking forward to go to Atlanta, USA. I think that will be another great experience for me since I've never been oversea before. ;-) Hopefully everything will be fine and smooth for my coming trip to USA.

I have installed another wireless network simulator - glomosim-2.03 in my machine. I haven't tried to use it yet but it is very scalable. I need a simulator that is scalable to thousands of nodes. Therefore, NS-2 may not suit my need anymore. Nevertheless, I will try out glomosim and see how it performs. The installation of glomosim on Sun Solaris system is not a tough one. First of all download glomosim. Then unzip the package and tarball by typing the following commands:
#gunzip glomosim-2.03.tar.gz
#tar -xvf glomosim-2.03.tar
By doing this, we will have a new directory "glomosim-2.03" under our current working directory. Then we should install PARSEC on our machine by first setting an environment variable and adding a path in sun-solaris (with gcc compiler). In order to do this, I edited my .bashrc file (or .bash_profile) by adding in these lines:
PCC_DIRECTORY=/~/glomosim-2.03/parsec
export PCC_DIRECTORY
PATH=$PATH:/~/glomosim-2.03/parsec/solaris-gcc/bin
export PATH
Then, the system should be able to recognize pcc from the command line.
#pcc
No input files.
Then we go to /~/glomosim-2.03/glomosim/main/ to run the makefile:
#make
I encountered an error here. It may because the system is not able to find pc_api.h file. Therefore I copied the two .h files from /~/glomosim-2.03/parsec/solaris-gcc/include/ into /~/glomosim-2.03/glomosim/main/. Then run the makefile again.
It may run correctly. Otherwise you may encounter some error of not finding runtime. Therefore I copied the 'runtime' directory into parsec
#cd /~/glomosim-2.03/parsec/
#cp -rf /~/glomosim-2.03/parsec/solaris-gcc/runtime ./
Now get back to /~/glomosim-2.03/glomosim/main/ and run the makefile again.
After this, it should be run without any problem. After the installation, to check whether glomosim is installed properly, we go to /~/glomosim-2.03/glomosim/bin and type the following command:
#glomosim config.in
Then we can compare the output file "glomo.stat" with "glomo.stat.sample" under the same directory.
#gunzip glomosim-2.03.tar.gz
#tar -xvf glomosim-2.03.tar
By doing this, we will have a new directory "glomosim-2.03" under our current working directory. Then we should install PARSEC on our machine by first setting an environment variable and adding a path in sun-solaris (with gcc compiler). In order to do this, I edited my .bashrc file (or .bash_profile) by adding in these lines:

#pcc
