August 7, 2008小high杂记
August 6, 2008话说我最近更新的真是勤快,由此我就在思考,为啥原来不勤快?
我每每每天早晨睡到自然醒之后就利用赖床的时间思索这个问题,终于想到
原来我上班了!
曾经在学校的时候,俺也是无比劳模的更新这space,只是上了班之后,这频率一下就掉了下来,每天回家累个半死,啥都不知道了,还更新啥space?我连space怎么拼都快不知道了,故此,说明我现在在老巴ms很悠闲,将有限的生命投入到了无线的上网中来,这样不好,这样不好…
我要充实自己的生活…
于是,我就去拍相片去了,或者说,摄影去了…
Faisal Mosque,全亚洲最大的清真寺,1976年左右,由当时沙特的King Faisal陛下捐资近一亿美元兴建,耗时10年。
我jiao着这张照片还是不错的,Neo的评价是很纯净,尽管我还有raw的,但是我Photoshop一向很懒,于是就修了一下水平,连梯形失真我也不管了,就这样好了,ISO100,F/4.5,2.5秒,AWB。当然,这个肯定不是手持,一定是用了脚架的,俺可不是端砖头练出来的铁手功…
点击可以有1600×1200px的大图,如果有人喜欢可以做桌面,至少俺比照了一下当地的明信片,认为自己的效果比明信片上一点不差…
前面(不是这篇日志的前面,是时间段的前面~)说过在这里的中资公司如何的彪悍云云,要说中航技也算是大公司了,常驻人员达到两位数,但俺们可不是最nb的,早年听说北方在这里的house,外面高墙电网,深宅大院,进去一看,我靠,跟他妈广东省某富裕外贸县阔气县长盖得县委县政府办公大楼一样,活一个小白宫,那叫彪炳。这里举另外一个example,中国移动,我想大家都听说过这个公司,因为大家和中国移不动都天天打交道,也许都捎带着骂过China Mobile,这家叫中国移动的公司在巴基斯坦收购了一家叫PK TELECOM的公司,然后拿着好几箱子的钱,大约有5亿美元左右吧,在老巴开了一家叫ZONG的移动公司,这两年增长势头迅猛,大有赶超老巴第一大Mobilink公司的架势,在Marketing上,他们也借鉴了国内的在小商铺的招牌上打广告的方式,现在很多小店上面都挂了一个ZONG,包括俺们家门口那家会用中国话给中国人卖水果蔬菜的店铺(今儿下午老巴老板还冲我们喊,豇豆豇豆,便宜,便宜!于是我们就买了)
这家ZONG公司,那可是nb的不得了,下面一则广告前一段时间在当地华人间广为流传,大家在为祖国的强大和崛起小欣喜不已的时候,也纷纷表达了如果让火星人看到这则广告,是否会引发星球大战的担忧。(大家一定要把音响打开,重点在那句广告语…)

继续说一些有关手机的话题
来老巴之前听说这里电话很便宜,但没有具体的概念,后来听说我们一个同事在篮球场上调戏中国移动来的常驻代表,
——你们是中国移动的啊?
——啊,对
——啊,那你们手机双向收费吗?
——不不…
——啊?那你们在老巴有漫游这一说吗?
——不不…
——哦,那你们为什么在国内不这样啊?
——……
再后来,我终于有了自己的手机,我这才发现,从老巴打给国内的国际长途的收费标准,是这样的——每分钟2.36卢比,有关巴基斯坦卢比与中国人民币的汇率,可以参照以下链接:http://finance.yahoo.com/currency/convert?amt=2.36&from=PKR&to=CNY&submit=Convert
大家认为这个资费水平如何?

今儿high到此结束~over~
Sadly, they failed to improve air quality in Beijing
August 4, 2008In the current issue of the Economist, again one article about the coming Olympics, China’s dash for freedom. Not surprisingly, the author compared the Beijing games with the Nazi-organised games in Berlin in 1936.
Let’s not to get bothered by this comparison but focus some other part of the article.
Being a Beijing citizen who has lived here for over decades, I personally have no interesting in any movement towards the bullshit human-rights and so called freedom. The super-grand state of art facilities of games also less contributed my pride, or the so called nationalism if western journalist wishes. People may only concern about their own interest and what they could benefit from the Olympic games, me as well. So, what is it?
For many years we experienced those smoggy days, more and more, year by year. It was promised by authority that government would apply efforts in improving it. Sadly, after seven years the governing people draw that blueprint, the air pollution is getting even worse now. We seldom encountered that smoggy day when we might need to tolerate some sand storm at the time I was in high school, but we need to living in such days with heading up with blue sky but terrible haze in horizontal, despite those sand storm indeed being less occurred. What’s the hell?
As the textbook indicated previously that London is a city in fog. But how could people go there and marveled at its blue sky then wonder where the fog was now. Actually the fog is now coming to Beijing while it is a great shame that neither state nor local authority is going to accept it is haze but call it as fog.
To sum up, although I withhold many of my point which not stand to article, I really admit the part quoted blow,
Those who have argued for the beneficial effect of the Olympics on China have made three specific claims, none of which holds water.
…
Second, these would be the first “green” Olympics, spurring a badly needed effort to clean up Beijing and other Olympic venues. This was always a ludicrous claim. Heroic efforts to remove toxic algae blooms from the rowing course do not amount to a new environmentalism. The jury is still out on whether Beijing will manage to produce air sufficiently breathable for runners safely to complete a marathon. If it does, it will not have been because of any Olympic-related change of course. Rather it will be the result of desperate measures introduced in recent weeks: production cuts by polluting industries, or simply closing them down; and the banning from the road of half of Beijing’s cars.
Solskjær Testimonial
August 1, 2008最开始看他踢球,大概是在初二初三的时候,小贝同学在经历了噩梦般的法国世界杯之旅后,背负着全英格兰的谩骂,回到老特拉福德,我是从那时开始看曼联踢球的,随后便是那传奇的98-99三冠王。
那时我14岁,他15岁。
2008年8月2日,Manchester United vs. RCD Espanyol, Pre-season match, Testimonial for Ole Gunnar Solskjær,
曼联同西班牙人的季前热身赛,索尔斯克亚的告别纪念赛,从此以后,我们再也看不到baby-face身披20号飞翔于Old Trafford.
这时,我24岁,他35岁。
十年前,一个十几岁的孩子,看着“叔叔”偶像们驰骋于球场,十年后,自己看着同龄人和比自己小的“弟弟”们一道并肩作战,这时,褪去了狂热,球员也不再是偶像,只是我仍然保留着一份热爱。
岁月的脚步永远都无法挽留,很想知道,当有一天,小时候的偶像全部离开了赛场的时候,自己是否会感到更多的悲怆和苍凉——我是看Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Gary and Phillip Neville, Nicky Butt, Roy Keane, David Beckham, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Mikael Silvestre, Teddy Sheringham, Wes Brown, Jaap Stam, 看着他们踢球长大的,现在,他们或离开,或老去,很多不舍,只能通过游戏来弥补,在足球经理里,我把他们都买回来,给他们教练合同,让大家在一起。
在这个年代,曼联和其它大球会最大的不同,就是他给自己的老球员家庭成员一般的待遇,只俺看阿森纳,有哪个球员能在那里终老?seldom,皇马,巴萨,又怎么样?只有拜仁,也可以做到。尽管小贝同学现在更像是一位celebrity,但他毕竟还是Old Trafford走出的孩子,希望有一天,他退役时,回来穿上曼联的球衣,一样有为他的Testimonial.
