前幾天，我和MSS有個熱烈的討論，我覺得現代人，尤其在某個年紀之前，很有可能會尋找明知對自己未來幸福無幫助的人。MSS認為每個人找的都是為自己的幸福，沒有人會自找麻煩。
我覺得這個就歸咎到幸福的定義了，如果是公主王子般的幸福，我想大部分的人都嚮往的，但我覺得，大部分的人都不會珍惜這種感情。哪種感情才會珍惜？熱烈的愛情，不會是細水長流。通常我聽到的就是，”我喜歡他就是因為他對我好的時候，真的很好…”，漏掉的就是”對我不好的時候就是非常不好。”
就像回憶，如果沒有不好的，好的回憶就不會那麼珍惜了。
轟轟烈烈，流血流淚的愛情是每一個電影、電視、小說所形容的真愛，就好像大部分的人同意的”沒經過考驗的愛情不是真愛”一樣。所以，在某個心智尚未開發的年紀之前，男男女女想得就是每天排隊坐感情的雲霄飛車。是的，他
們會說，”我想定下來了”，但他們尋找的對象就不是他們可以定下來的對象。(他們也承認這種差距)
到底真愛是不是該參考泡沫劇？我想不是最重要的，最重要的是，要面對自己，如果自己不是想要穩定的感情，就不要騙自己在找可以定下的對象，真誠的面對自己才可愛。

Hey Jude~
Beatles have many great songs that are still great in this generation. After seeing the performance of "LOVE" in Las Vegas, what struck me the most was not the performance of Cirque du soliel, but it was the simple lyrics that captured me.
Hey Jude
Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey, Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.
And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey, Jude! Don't let her down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.
So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey, Jude,
You'll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder
Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
I think the song is telling us to be positive and to love the one you love. Great song!
Hey Jude
Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey, Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.
And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey, Jude! Don't let her down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.
So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey, Jude,
You'll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder
Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
I think the song is telling us to be positive and to love the one you love. Great song!

擔心愛 愛擔心
有時，還是會擔心，日子過得太好會覺得是不是不真實，沒有吵架是不是會太無趣, 沒有說愛你是不是不夠浪漫。
難免，一開始的患得患失總讓人不知所措，很多感覺總要在身邊才實在。
好像，想著下班要作什么，變成生活中的一部分，甜蜜是嘴里散不去的味道。
我和MSS甜甜蜜蜜的過了三個月，有時有的不開心，大多也被其他快樂的事情蓋了過去。送個簡訊給你，告訴你我很想你!

How to purchase a car in 20 min
As I have mentioned before, the good days of driving a BMW has to rest a little. I am moving on to a Japanese. After some severe headaches and number crunching, I have decided I should stop looking at options and started on making decisions.
So, I have determined to get a Nissan Altima 2.5s
First thing to do is to find out where the bargaining can start. To do that, I have to find out how much they are and work backwards.
carcostcananda.com is a great place to start, it will cost about $40, and it will give you 5 car costs (as compare to a car's MSRP). Armed with that information, I went into Richmond Nissan, sales were very busy, and I suppose they were too busy for a 20 something guy. After 15 min of waiting, I decided to leave and headed to Southside Nissan.
I walked in and told the first sales that I am not interested in test driving a car, and I am not interested in knowing the technicals of the car, I just want to buy one today!
With that we started with numbers. I told him the spec I want and the colour I want. I started with $2000 off the listed price, the sales rep looked shocked and said it was never been done before, so I gave him $20 and told him to cut $1980. He tried to suggest that $20 doesn't make much difference. I told him that I am making him a great deal, he only had to get me this deal and he could make the sales, no test drive, no follow up calls.
So, he went to his manager with that number, 15 min later, came out and said, "it is your lucky day". I got a deal!
According to carcostcanada, I believe I have asked $350 above the manufacturer's cost, which in any standard of a brand new 2007 model, is a very good deal.
Here is a few tips for those of you who are thinking about getting a new car.
1. Get the manufacturer's cost, so you know where to start with the numbers game.
2. Tell the Sales rep you are "buying" not "shopping" for a car. They are more willing to give you a reasonable price if you show an intent to purchase, not just to look around.
3. Go in on the last few days of the month. 2 reasons, 1st, sales are more interested in finishing the month with good numbers. 2nd, if you are picking up the car in the following month, the chance is that there might be a deal in the next month that wasn't offer on the month you made the deal. If the deal is better, you can always request that month's deal before picking up the car.
Remember even if you put down a deposit and signed on the sheet with the deal you have agreed with the sales, it doesn't mean you are stuck with the deal. You are stuck with the deal when you pick up the car and sign on the finance/lease agreement. I actually managed to shave another $125 two days after I made the deal, because he quoted me the wrong colour (different colour costs different), and another $900 when the May deal come out to be a better deal (lowered lease rate plus the first month payment free).

Mr. Q
MSS's school held an exclusive concert yesterday. With the coolest taiwanese band in vancouver, Bossa Blue, the kids had enjoyed 3 hours of Mandarin music from a small pacific island in southeast asia. Of course, upon the request the school, MSS performed the following song:
Mr.Q
數一數 每天你撞見我的次數
賭一賭 你的神情中有愛慕
與其辛苦又要耍酷又要埋伏 那麼何不讓愛快一點傾巢而出
（一窩蜂 都裝酷 不醒目）
＊Hey u, Mr. Q 愛你耍 Q 的指數 電流像瀑布 好像重力加速度
你又殺 又無辜 與生俱來的功夫 加快腳步 要加入連署
說你願意 為了我幸福開始吃素
放棄森林 好好只照顧一棵樹木
我的付出一輩子都不會辜負 所有害怕從此有你拔刀相助
（我愛你 的賭注 不怕輸）
Repeat ＊
So Q（Hey u, Mr. Q hey u） Just because of U
So Q（Hey u, Mr. Q Mr. Q） Just because of U
Rap：
I can see in your eyes Baby
Give it up and come here for me
Don't be so cool shout out sweetie
Make your dreams come true
Your love gonna stop my heartbeat
Come kill me with your hot kiss
Life would be so cute Honey
Be my Mr.Q
Repeat ＊ , ＊
No, I don't think she was talking about me, but very cute nonetheless. Good Job MSS!

榕樹下
我爺爺喜歡唱歌﹐小時候﹐他還有一臺用8 TRACK的卡啦OK機﹐我長大之後﹐他就轉移到附近的公園裡唱。
我和他去過一次﹐小時記憶中的公園﹐熟悉的綠樹﹐樹幹上都有一個木箱﹐木箱打開以後就是一臺電視機﹐然後幾個加起來好幾百歲的老男人﹐熟練的放入CD﹐就開始唱了。為什麼不在幾百公尺遠的家裡唱﹖一定要在公園裡唱﹖我沒問過﹐但我想是意境問題﹐想想為什麼要去網咖裡和一堆陌生人打電動﹐兼吸二手煙﹖家裡沒電腦﹖多半還是喜歡與人群一起吧。我爺爺和他的朋友就聰明多了﹐至少他們選的環境比錢櫃優多了﹐還不怕火燒屋﹐想吃東西﹐菜市場就在旁邊﹗
他們通常唱的就是一些日本老歌﹐我就象鴨子聽雷﹐覺得聽起來悲傷外﹐完全沒有頭緒他們在唱什麼。找了個爺爺所謂的流行歌曲﹐榕樹下﹐爺爺還很有耐心的教我怎麼唱...
和爺爺唱歌是個有趣的事﹐他還諄諄教誨﹐說我應該多練歌。
榕樹下
路邊一棵榕樹下 是我懷念的地方 晴朗的天空涼爽的風
還有醉人的綠草香 和你繞過小路彎彎 情人山坡看斜陽
晚霞照上妳的臉 情話綿綿說不完
啊妳可想起榕樹下 可會想起綠草香
路邊一棵榕樹下 是我見妳的地力 甜美的笑容親切的話
還有默默的情意長 你曾陪我留戀春光 盡情細訴心中願
幾個春天已過去 就是就是不能忘
啊妳可想起榕樹下 可會想起綠草香
後來又有機會和父母唱過﹐才發現﹐我的五音不全應該是他們傳下來的
