I had posted a blog entry on Mother's Day and to give a fair credit to my dad and all dads around the world, I would dedicate this post to them, the breadwinner of a family (maybe not all).

It's weird for me to celebrate Mother's Day, let alone the not-so-famous Father's Day. Nevertheless, I would like to thank my dad for supporting me throughout the years amid some financial hardship. Thank you, daddy.

A song for the moms, a song for all dads too. Came across this nice Korean song by PSY, «Father», which I think suitable for today's occasion. Enjoy.



어찌 그렇게 사셨나요
아버지 이제서야
난 깨달아요

너무 앞만 보며
살아오셨네
어느새 자식들
머리 커서 말도 안듣네
한평생 제 자식
밥그릇에 청춘 걸고
새끼들 사진 보며
한푼이라도 더 벌고
눈물 먹고 목숨 걸고
힘들어도 털고 일어나
이러다 쓰러지면 어쩌나
아빠는 슈퍼맨이야
얘들아 걱정마
위에서 짓눌러도
티낼 수도 없고
아래에서 치고 올라와도
피할수 없네
무섭네 세상
도망가고 싶네
젠장 그래도
참고 있네 맨날
아무것도 모른채
내 품에서 뒹굴거리는
새끼들의 장난
때문에 나는 산다
힘들어도 간다
여보 얘들아
아빠 출근한다

(Chorus)
아버지 이제야 깨달아요
어찌 그렇게 사셨나요
더 이상
쓸쓸해하지 마요
이제 나와 같이 가요

어느새 학생이 된
아이들에게 아빠는
바라는것 딱 하나
정직하고 건강한
착한 아이 바른 아이
다른 아빠보단 잘할테니
학교 외에 학원 과외에
다른 아빠들과에
경쟁에서 이기고자
무엇이든지
다 해줘야 해
고로 많이 벌어야 해
니네 아빠한테 잘해
아이들은
친구들을 사귀고
많은 얘기 나누고
보고 듣고
더 많은 것을 해주는
남의 아빠와 비교
더 좋은 것을
사주는 남의 아빠와
나를 비교
갈수록 싸가지
없어지는 아이들과
바가지만 긁는
안사람의 등쌀에
외로워도 간다
여보 얘들아
아빠 출근한다

Chorus

여보 어느새
세월이 많이 흘렀소
첫째는 사회로
둘째 놈은 대학로
이젠 온 가족이
함께 하고 싶지만
아버지기 때문에
얘기하기 어렵구만
세월의 무상함에
눈물이 고이고
아이들은 바뻐 보이고
아이고
산책이나 가야겠소 여보
함께 가주시오

Chorus

오오
당신을 따라갈래요

That's the lyrics I got from searching around the web, correct me if I got the wrong lyrics. And I can say, this song is really meaningful (Search for translation yourself =.=). Happy Father's Day!

Many of the online users might have known about Facebook Share which I had been using since my last blog. Recently, Facebook came out with a new widget, the Facebook Like.

What's the difference? The function is actually the same with only the process of sharing it on your Facebook profile is different. With the Facebook Share, readers would need to click on the Share Button and a new window pops out. Then one is required to click share to post the link on his or her Facebook wall. As for the new feature, those who browse a page will need to just click on the Like Button and that's all. =.= You will get to see someone liking a web page on his or her wall.

One disadvantage of this new widget is that one is unable to share his opinion while posting the link, which can be done through Facebook Share. But in my personal opinion, if a person wanted to share his or her thought, they would just blast it out on their wall, with or without the help or the sharer widget.

Now I had switched from Share Button to the new Like Button as it is really more convenient for users. I wanted to implement it on the day it was launched but was deemed redundant at that time (still feel redundant now). But today, after analysing the benefit and downside of each widget, I finally made the decision to remove the old Share Button and replace it with the brand new widget.

The following is how the widget works:


First when you visited the page, you will see a Like Button (The 1st and 2nd Like Button in the picture above, depending whether anyone had Like it before you do) below the post.

The 3rd Like Button above is shown when you click it. The 4th and 5th Button is the result of your support (by Like-ing). You are able to click it again to remove your Like. But please don't do this as it is not polite to take back what you had given out. =.= You will also get to see if any of your friends had Like this post before you do.

The end result? Your friends in Facebook will be able to see the posts you Like on your wall, thus sharing it to the world. ^^ One example below:


Hopefully the Like Button will help me spread this portal even faster and better. Thanks for all reader's continuous support and please recommend this site to your friends. Now, everyone please click Like to share. ^^

Coming soon is the annual Mother's Day. =.= Seems weird saying it this way~~ Nevertheless, it is a day where good and bad sons and daughters come together to celebrate the sacrifices made by our beloved mothers. Although I feel hard to express my love to my mother but I hope she knows that I love her always. This is a song - Ray Lin's «白頭髮» - I wish to dedicate to all moms that come in all shapes~~ LOLx Hope you like it.


Thank you, Mommy~~ ♥

Hey, readers! Are you guys and girls enjoying this new blog? I have changed to this blog because of the many new features, especially the slide show widget, categories boxes and the nicely designed post page. There is also the nice layout's black background with some green here and there.

But with so many features, do you get confuse? If yes, fear not as I had added a Help Page for you. In this page, you get to see the functions of all the links and buttons in the portal. Just go to the Help Page and click on one of the four available thumbnails to see the those descriptions. It will pop-up in a new tab or window, so you need not worry your reading of the articles will be affected.

More help will be added on new inquiries and any errors will be corrected on readers' advice. ^^

Normally when we talk Oscar, it's about a stupid statue of glory presented to actors. I don't think you need a statue to justify one as an excellent actor. But I am not talking Academy Award Oscar today. I had just read about a kitty named Oscar again recently. The first time I read this was in The Star newspaper few months back and I see it again in a Chinese magazine today.

This cat was made famous by Dr. David Dosa through the New England Journal of Medicine in 2007. This cat is able to predict death by sleeping near a patient. Scary right? It's prediction is with 100% accuracy.


But this cute little grim reaper doesn't seems to receive bad treatment from the people it sleep near to. Well, it lives in a hospital, people there are going to die some time, some how and family members had prepared for the worst case scenario. Oscar actually help alert family members to be at the bedside of those who going to leave the world. A last reunion is something really important and with the help of this little kitty, I think most people will thank it rather than get it out of the room. 


Maybe it can sniff out some air that we human can't smell coming from those who are going to leave the world and doing its job to provide companionship to patients who are leaving. It is also suggested in the NEJM article that it hiss when approach by a lady who her time had not reach yet. So, it just know who is going to die, not bringing death.


Luckily my cat do not have that ability, or else I might had died long ago with my cats love to curl around me while I am sleeping. But if I am really going to die, I would rather a kitty bringing me to the afterlife than the conventional grim reaper.
