恭喜恭喜

词曲：陈歌辛

每条大街小巷，每个人的嘴里
见面第一句话，就是恭喜恭喜
恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀，恭喜恭喜恭喜你

冬天已到尽头，真是好的消息
温暖的春风，就要吹醒大地
恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀，恭喜恭喜恭喜你

皓皓冰雪融解，眼看梅花吐蕊
漫漫长夜过去，听到一声鸡啼
恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀，恭喜恭喜恭喜你

经过多少困难，历尽多少磨练
多少心儿盼望，盼望春的消息
恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀，恭喜恭喜恭喜你

每条大街小巷，每个人的嘴里
见面第一句话，就是恭喜恭喜
恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀，恭喜恭喜恭喜你

 

 

Persistent and Determination

“Nothing in this world can take the

place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common

than unsuccessful people with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is

almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of

educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone

are omnipotent.

The slogan “press on” has solved and

always will solve the problems of the

human race.”

 

A quote from Calvin Coolidge

Negaraku

Almost all Malaysian are very familiar with our National Anthem – Negaraku. However, not many people know that its music is actually from an oldie in the 40s called Mamula Moon from “Felix Mendelssohn & His Hawaii”. You can listen to the music below and compare them yourself and see whether what I say is true.

Online Gaming Craziness

Nowadays, online gaming is a big business, not only to the games companies but also to people who spent massive amount of time on them. In the crazily popular Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft (WoW), the ‘gold’ in the game can be sold for really cash. At the point of writing, 1000 in-game gold can be sold for £50! Some people even earn a living by playing games. They spent hours and hours ‘farming’ in games and sell the farmed goods for real cash. The internet games section of Ebay saw more than $9m (£5m) in trades in 2003.

The business inside the game is more and more similar to real business. People actually apply real economics techniques to make money in game. Some look to maximise their returns by controlling the price of a particular item. Every time this item turns up on the auction house, the player buys it, then puts it up for auction again at a higher price to the keep the profits rolling in. Some people put a rare item in the auction house for a very high price for a period long enough for gamers to think that that’s the real price and then suddenly, the items are sold in a much cheaper price in abundance. People will respond by thinking “Wow…that’s cheap!” and grabbed them like there is no tomorrow.

A South Korean man has died after reportedly playing an online computer game for 50 hours with few breaks. There are addiction to gamble, addiction to alcohol, addiction to drugs,…etc and now there is addiction to gaming. This is no ordinary addiction and is as serious as drug addiction. People who have played Dota or Wow will definitely know the consequences. It is extremely hard to stop when you are into it and it is a total waste of time and life.

A Shanghai online gamer has been given a suspended death sentence for killing a fellow gamer recently. Qiu Chengwei stabbed Zhu Caoyuan in the chest when he found out he had sold his virtual sword for 7,200 Yuan (£473). There are more and more cases of crime resulted from dispute over virtual properties. People now treat virtual properties as real money and phenomena is getting more and more serious. The “Dragon Sabre” won by Qiu, was lent to his mate and been sold for real money. Mr Qiu stabbed his mate out of anger.

The influence of Gaming on people can not be treated lightly now. Although gaming is of great fun, we must know when to stop and not to go extreme.
