I submitted a credit card application to Burwood branch of National Bank Australia two months ago. The middle age Chinese guy told me approved. Just WAIT for the card to be delivered to my address.
After one month I didn't receive anything, then I called customer service. The operator told me he can't see any credit card application on my account and there is no evidence showing I applied for it. I told him the story how I stepped in to Burwood branch and submitted an application in detail, he decided to transfer my call to Burwood branch, after 20 mins holding, an Indian lady picked up my call and described how she interrupted the lender and found out the information for me, the result is I just have to WAIT the card is on the way.
After 10 days, I didn't receive anything still. I called NAB customer service again. This time they are unable to transfer my call to Burwood branch, because no one pick up the call. Not even 5pm yet!!! They transferred my call to their sale team and the lady will do a credit card application for me. after a long while, we went through everything, then she told me declined! The reason is low income. That's funny I have a proper and stable job and certain income, average in this industry. Do I have to be a millionaire to have a credit card? I guess that was 30 years ago, in now days, even a student can apply a credit card. I am too tired to argue. I decided to let it go.
Today, when I login to my internet banking, I found an extra account number there, starts from 45, I guess it’s visa card, so I called NAB they told me they approved this Velocity NAB Gold Card for me, I will receive two credit cards, one visa, one Amex! If I don’t check, they won’t tell me I have a credit card with them! Surprise!
That’s what happen when idiots run bank business! 7/16/2009
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
若要优美的嘴唇，要说友善的话；
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
若要可爱的眼睛，要看到别人的好处；
For a slim figure, share your foodwith the hungry.
若要苗条的身材，把你的食物分给饥饿的人；
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
美丽的秀发，在于每天有孩子的手指穿过它；
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
若要优雅的姿态，要记住行人不只你一个。
People, even more than things, have to be restored, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
人之所以为人，是应该充满精力、能够自我悔改、自我反省、自我成长，而不是抱怨他人。
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find them at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
如果你需要一只援助之手，你可以在自己的任何一只手臂下找到；随着年龄的增长，你会发现你有两只手，一只用来帮助自己，另一只用来帮助别人。

A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror. Mirrors have a very particular function. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a physical mirror serves as the vehicle to reflection, so do all of the people in our lives.
When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden serves as a reflection. In order to see the beauty in front of us, we must be able to see the beauty inside of ourselves. When we love someone, it’s a reflection of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I’m with that person.” That simply translates into “I’m able to love me when I love that other person.” Oftentimes, when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”. Sometimes it’s as if we’ve known each other for a long time. That feeling can come from sharing similarities.
Just as the “mirror” or other person can be a positive reflection, it is more likely that we’ll notice it when it has a negative connotation. For example, it’s easy to remember times when we have met someone we’re not particularly crazy about. We may have some criticism in our mind about the person. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend less time.
Frequently, when we dislike qualities in other people, ironically, it’s usually the mirror that’s speaking to us. I began questioning myself further each time I encountered someone that I didn’t particularly like. Each time, I asked myself, “What is it about that person that I don’t like?” and then “Is there something similar in me?” in every instance, I could see a piece of that quality in me, and sometimes I had to really get very introspective. So what did that mean?
It means that just as I can get annoyed or disturbed when I notice that aspect in someone else, I better reexamine my qualities and consider making some changes. Even if I’m not willing to make a drastic change, at least I consider how I might modify some of the things that I’m doing.
At times we meet someone new and feel distant, disconnected, or disgusted. Although we don’t want to believe it, and it’s not easy or desirable to look further, it can be a great learning lesson to figure out what part of the person is being reflected in you. It’s simply just another way to create more self-awareness.
一个懂得爱的人，他生活在一个充满爱的世界中。一个仇视他人的人，他生活在一个充满敌意的世界中。每个你所遇见的人就是你的“镜子”。这些镜子有一个很独特的功能。他们反射出他们面前的映像。正如生活中的镜子是反射映像的媒介物，我们在生活中遇到的人也一样。
当我们看到一些美丽的东西时，比如说一个花园，这个花园就成了一个映像。为了去发现我们面前的美，我们必须要能够看到我们心中的美。当我们喜欢某人时，那是我们喜欢自己的一个映像。我们常常听到有人说“我喜欢与那个人在一起时的自己。”这句话可以简单地译为“当我与那个人在一起时，我会喜欢自己。”时常地，当我们第一次遇见某人时，我们会感觉彼此“合得来”。有时，仿佛我们早就已经认识似的。那种感觉可能是因为彼此有很多相似之处。
正如“镜子”或其他人可以是一个积极的映像一样，更多的时候，我们对其他人产生注意时，是因为他是一个消极的映像。比如说，我们很容易会记得我们遇到的某个不太喜欢的人，记得我们也许对其有意见的某个人。当我们深入地去了解某个我们不愿意呆在一起的人时，充分地说明了这个问题。
经常性地，当我们不喜欢他人的性格时，真讽刺，那些性格一般正是我们不喜欢的自己身上的毛病。每次，我遇到我不是特别喜欢的某人时，我开始进一步质疑自己。每一次，我都问自己，“我不喜欢的这个人他身上有什么毛病呢？”还有“我身上也是否有类似的毛病？”在每一个场合，我都能在我身上看到一种别人的毛病，很多时候，我禁不住深刻反省。这代表着什么意义呢？
这意味着，当我注意到别人的某个方面的毛病时，我会觉得厌烦和不安。我希望重新审视自己的个性，考虑做出一些改变。即使我不愿意做出大的改变，至少我会考虑应该如何改善我正在做的那些事情。
有时，我们初次遇到某人，感到生疏、有距离感或厌恶。尽管我们不愿意相信这点，或是不容易抑或是不值得去进一步与对方交往，其实，这可以成为一个极好的学习机会，去搞清楚那人的哪一方面反映出了你的毛病。这只是另一种方法来增强个人对自我的了解。 3/7/2009 In Urban Dictory, one of the definitions of "love" is:
LOVE
The most spectacular,indescribable, deep euphoric feeling for someone.
Love is an incredibly powerful word. When you're in love, you always want to be together, and when you're not, you're thinking about being together because you need that person and without them your life is incomplete.
This love is unconditional affection with no limits or conditions: completely loving someone. It's when you trust the other with your life and when you would do anything for each other. When you love someone you want nothing more than for them to be truly happy no matter what it takes because that's how much you care about them and because their needs come before your own. You hide nothing of yourself and can tell the other anything because you know they accept you just the way you are and vice versa.
It's when they're the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and when they're the first thing you think of when you wake up, the feeling that warms your heart and leaves you overcome by a feeling of serenity. Love involves wanting to show your affection and/or devotion to each other. It's the smile on your face you get when you're thinking about them and miss them.
Love can make you do anything and sacrifice for what will be better in the end. Love is intense,and passionate. Everything seems brighter, happier and more wonderful when you're in love. If you find it, don't let it go.
One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life:
That word is love.

国家明确规定要先给安居房，后拆房，利于社会稳定。但无锡蠡园开发区认为天高皇帝远，无视国家法律，于是我们家的3层楼别墅在拆迁公告贴出2周内被拆，父母2年内拿不到安居房。
我写信给省长投诉，谁知第二天无锡蠡园开发区的戴书记带人来到我家，威胁我妈，如果我再写，就要通知国家安全局和中国驻悉尼大使管控制我。并且举出几个海归被捕的例子。这位戴书记当土皇帝久了，忘记了国安局和我国驻外大使管的职能，以为是他家开的武官啊？想抓谁抓谁，想打谁打谁。
我父母表示不信国家安全局和中国驻悉尼大使会无故管控制爱国留学生。于是这位戴书记施展他的活动力，怂恿无锡滨湖区的各级领导找我妈威逼施压。父母忍受不了精神压力，只好被迫签字同意。其他村民稍有怨言，拆迁公司的彪形大汉就问：‘你头上少包？拆迁期打死打伤，区委书记都认可的。停工一天亏50万，打死你一个只陪20万，还赚了！’ 西园里一带的确曾打死村民，家属只得到20万人民币赔偿。所以大家只能都签字同意拆房，但我们永远都不会忘记这种无耻行径。希望政府以后选拔国家干部时，注意普法教育！
江苏省政府和无锡市政府都先后来悉尼招商引资，吸引海归。我和我的朋友都踊跃参加过。但现在连自己的家园都保不住，怎么说服自己边流浪边为家乡经济作贡献呢？
08奥运也回不了家啦！可怜的无锡人啊！

Love begins with a smile，
grows with a kiss，ends with a tear.
When you were born，
you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die，
you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying. 5/27/2008 It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return.
But what is more painful is to love someone
and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.
A sad thing in life is
when you meet someone who means a lot to you，
only to find out in the end that
it was never meant to be and you just have to let it go.

许多事情总是想象比现实更美，相逢如此， 离别也如此，当现实不按照理想发展，事实与心愿不统一的结局时， 遗憾便产生了。有的时候，真的幻想时光可以重来一次，那样的话就可以重新选择一切，面对相同的时间里发生的相同的故事不会再重蹈覆辙，不会再走这样的心路。一生中承载了太多的情非得已，聚散离首，不甘心也好，不情愿也罢，生活一直都是一个任人想象的谜，因为不知道最终的谜底，而只能一步步地向前走。人生中也会遇到很多感人的缘分，不经意间的萍水相逢，简单的邂逅和错过，也可以在心中烙下清晰的标记。错了就错吧，反复的品尝遗憾余留在心里的淡淡苦涩，真不知道能坚持多久呢！人人都知道人生短暂，生命可贵， 但却不是每个人都懂得去享受，去珍惜。
5/13/2007 人=吃饭+睡觉+上班+玩
猪=吃饭+ 睡觉
代入:人=猪+上班+玩
即:人-玩=猪+上班
结论: 不懂玩的人=会上班的猪
男人=吃饭+ 睡觉+挣钱
猪=吃饭+ 睡觉
男人=猪+挣钱
猪=男人-挣钱
所以男人不挣钱等于猪
女人=吃饭+ 睡觉+花钱
猪 =吃饭+ 睡觉。
代入上式得
女人=猪+花钱
移项得：女人-花钱=猪
结论：女人不会花钱的都是 猪 1/12/2006 My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE -

1/1/2006 1.Two men were in a pub. One says to his mate, "My MIL is an angel." His friend replies, "You're lucky. Mine is still alive."
2.A patient says, "Doctor, last night I made a Freudian slip. I was having dinner with my MIL, and I wanted to say, "Could you please pass the butter?" "But instead I said, "You silly cow, you have completely ruined my life."
3.A woman stopped by unannounced at her recently married son's house. She rang the doorbell and walked in. She was shocked to see her daughter-in-law lying on the couch, totally naked. Soft music was playing; and the aroma of perfume filled the room. "What are you doing?" she asked. "I'm waiting for my husband to come home from work," the daughter-in-law answered. "But you're naked!" the mother-in-law exclaimed. "This is my love dress," the daughter-in-law explained. "Love dress? But you're naked!" " My husband loves me to wear this dress," she explained. "It excites him to no end. Every time he sees me in this dress, he instantly becomes romantic and ravages me for hours on end. He can't get enough of me." The mother-in-law left. When she got home, she undressed, showered, put on her best perfume, dimmed the lights, put on a romantic CD, and laid on the couch waiting for her husband to arrive. Finally, her husband came home. He walked in and saw her laying there so provocatively. "What are you doing?" he asked. "This is my love dress," she whispered, sensually. "Needs ironing," he said.
4.Doctor: I'm sorry to say that your MIL had a heart attack.
SIL/DIL: That's impossible!
Doctor: What do mean that's impossible?
SIL/DIL: She can't have a heart attack! She doesn't have a heart!
