My 8-year old cousin said to a 4-year old girl next door: “Will you be my girlfriend?”“Let me see. Are you going to take care of me? “The girl asked.“Sure, I wasn’t born yesterday. I know what I am talking about. “The boy answered proudly.“But you are twice of my age.” The girl said.” By the time I am 40, you will be 80.” “Well, age is not a problem. I have a young heart and fresh mind.” My cousin said. > read more

Five Plans

Published on 2012-01-14 10:54:00

I was just thinking, that I might need a work partner, a life partner, an investor, and a helper for this "Think Different" course or show. :)How can we get there? Here are my suggestions. Firstly, for people who are interested in those four roles, we need to get connected on facebook. Haha! Secondly, we need to chat privately to reach mutual understanding and know each other better. ^L^ Thirdly, we need to meet up in New York city if possible. :P Fourthly, we need to do some planning together [..] > read more

About a Campaign

Published on 2011-12-21 11:18:00

North Korea leader Kim Jong Il died the other day. I wonder if they would launch a political campaign to get Kim's third son elected to be the next leader.

Mass media like TV, radio, and newspape [..] > read more

They have much greater impacts than just online social interaction and much more potentials to be explored. They could be used for educational, research, political, and business purposes, among others. They provide platforms for voices to be heard and ide [..] > read more
