Year Of The Rabbit

Year Of The Rabbit

This coming Thursday, 3rd of February 2011 is Chinese New Year – year of the rabbit, last year was the year of the tiger.

According to Chinese beliefs and superstitions, the year of the tiger is the year of death, a year where babies are born to parents that have short lives, marriages that ends up in divorce and so on. I don’t subscribe to that.

However, the year of the rabbit is the year of abundance, a year of good harvest, a year to look forward to.

2012 will be the year of the dragon, and Chinese are crazy about dragons. You’ll love the story on how Kowloon in Hong Kong got its name. The year of the dragon is well known as the year where chinese parents have the urge to make babies.

This is probably the best Chinese New Year song ever written, it has a happy tune to it. The title of the song is ‘God of Prosperity has arrived’ by Sam Hui. Enjoy.

Preton’s patent-pending technology, Pixel Optimizer™ incorporates state of the art mathematical algorithms to identify and delete wasteful pixels during printing, offering substantial savings on toner and ink.

There are no guarantees in life except for death, as the old saying goes. No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. Isn’t it ironic?

Depending on your religion, shouldn’t death be a celebration? Why shed tears knowing very well that your loves one is now in a better place?

This was home to someone, now it is simply a house.

Attention architects! Here is a good reason to buy an iPad – AutoCAD WS (freeware). Now you can edit, view and share .dwg files with anyone and anywhere with an iPad.

Call me traditional, thanks and no thanks, I’ll cross this off from my Christmas unwanted list.

p.s. I heard iPad 2 is coming, first quarter of 2010, possibly April 2010. Christmas is always a good time for big corporation when it comes to clearing old stocks.

If Ikea Made Instructions For Houses

Ikea’s furniture are modern and simple, unfortunately of low quality. This reminds me of a hotel that is built in China over the course of 6 days which is soundproof, thermal insulated and able to withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake.

There is a scene in Toy Story 2 where an old man says “You can’t rush art.” This is especially true with every work of art be it animation or architecture.
