My Love Will Go On is Dennis' first attempt to make inroads into movie industry. It is a movie dedicated to his love one Zoe. The flick is released on the day of Zoe's trying menstrual flow in efforts to give her a bit of relief, both physically and mentally.
Zoe, hope you like my work. =3

A Trip to IKEA, A Sense of Home
Last Sat. me and Zoe were on a dazzling trip to IKEA. Neither me nor she wanted anything there, the primary goal of the trip was to escort one of her housemates to have a blind date. (sounds exciting? yeah! peeking into other people's romantic life has always been a great thing to do!)
Well, maybe I'd somehow over-expected the experience, the escorting didn't offer me pleasure as I expected. The two newly-met were just hanging around, with the male shooting out professional blah along the way.
At one time, I was shocked by his abundant social and life experiences. And doubt why the gap between us was so tremendous as he was only 2 years older than me. Sense of inferiority welled up at the time of full realization that I was in such a huge lack of life experience.
But all these stuff was not the point.
The biggest gain for me was a feeling of home. Upon entering IKEA, the environment soon raised my longing for a home. (it's home, not house)
The feeling was so real that I was swept off my feet. And I knew that my daring was harboring the same idea. After all, we were designated by destiny to stay together for the rest of our lives. =3

One of The Most Successful Begging Cases in Digital World
How to accumulate fortune in a short span of time except for using some illegal ways? Now I have a new brand-new answer to this question. Ask for money from netizens!
First, it was his 100 yuan per week scheme, and now another stunt by 郁闷昊(Gloomy Hao) was totally beyond my wildest imagination. He simply asked Chinese netizens to donate money to his bank account in an effort to boost domestic consumption. He harvested from his plan a total of 18,198.02 RMB at last.
I'm speechless over the result, and I think it should be recorded in digital history as one of the most successful begging cases in decades.

Say Goodbye to Kaixin001
What's wrong with me tonight? It seems I'm on a writing spree. Anyway, I decide to follow my nose and write down this piece before hitting the sack.
Here are some of my recent development. A piece of bad news is that a storm of pressure is coming from my job. The good news? The storm has somehow helped me quit Kaixin001 cold turkey.
I've been thinking about deleting my Kaixin001 accounts several times in the past, because I thought Kaixin001 should not have occupied more than 10 minutes of my leisure time on any given day, not to mention to be addictive to it.
I have to admit that I had underestimated the addictive features of social networking site. Being enchanted during my naive interactions with a few simulating web-based games was nothing fun. It was no exaggeration to say that I was totally bogged down by those for-the-birds games. My life, as well as my darling's life, were interrupted rudely. The culprit was the magical stickiness of social networking site. Once in, hardly out.
But man with a strong will can conquer everything. I haven't logged in my account for a long time, and I think this trend will continue indefinitely.
Though I tried the new fishing game on Kaixin001 recently in an effort to keep myself up-to-date, I didn't indulge myself into it again. After checking out the mechanism of the game, which was very similar to Happy Farm in terms of game mechanism, I dumped it with no mercy.
In a nutshell, I'm very happy to the fact that I'd got rid of this social networking site by my strengthened will and won back some otherwise lost hours. And my conclusion after a succession of fierce mental battles with the SNS is - human will is king. Do you agree?

Offline Downloading
I was caught by an ad today when surfing internet. It was from Xunlei which said "畅爽迅雷 离线下载". Curiosity pushed me hard to find out what was behind the so-called offline download mode, and from this page(the landing page of the ad) I found the answer.
After some reading I realized that the offline download mode was as simply as that Xunlei first download what you want on the internet and store the targeted file(s) on its own servers, so later you can retrieve it/them from its storage servers instead of downloading those files from internet sources.
This is really a clear way to bill customers as the potential need for this service is huge. Nice move, and let's see if Xunlei would get some bucks by this creativity.

It Always Seems Impossible Until It Is Done
Words can soothe people, especially when someone is down. I was saddened today by the irritating news that house price was going to keep high for an uncertain period. As usual, the first question entered my mind then was when I could marry the one I really love. Apparently, no answer stored in my mind at this stage. It was not because that I thought I was incapable. In fact, my worry has been driven mainly by a sense of urgency. I didn't quite know from where it came, but I thought many factors contributed to that feeling.
I was in a sour mood when a string of words enter my eyelids "It always seems impossible until it is done." It placated my pain instantly like a panacea for my illness.
I'm not a superman, but I know I will not be the one without a shelter. I'll make it.

Advanced Google Analytics Usage
Most of the webmasters out there content themselves with the default Google Analytics(GA) setting, but actually the default configuration is no more than the tip of an iceberg.
I'd like to blaze the path and introduce here a few advanced usage. Keep in mind that by sticking to the default setting of anything, you are only going to see the tip of an iceberg.
1. Use _setVar() to define custom segments by using Google Analytics. And here are various solutions to defining custom segments on your site.

Terminator Salvation (2009)
Well, let me start off by countering all those spiteful movie reviews for this installment. I don't know why everyone is shouting at it. This movie is fine with me though I'm not a hardcore fan of terminator. The flick is largely watchable and the special effect is cool enough to thrill my bone! I will give it 7 out of 10!
