I never understood why TVB thinks that when one realizes that one's closest had lied to him since birth, they will always go bonkers and get all pissed off and then runs away. It is usually for something along the lines of "I'm not your true father"; in my case, it is "I'm not your uncle but I'm your brother!".
I'm not going to waste time on the utter absurdities of this premise because this is TV after all. What bugs me is why would anyone suddenly feel angry in that situation? Personally I would feel shocked, a little awkward when I have to confront the person again, but angry? Hell no! I would be curious to learn about why such a ridiculous lie was manufactured in the first place. For me at least, anger is a negative feeling triggered when something pisses me off. Why would uncovering that truth negatively affect me at all? Will learning that truth suddenly change history and make my happy carefree childhood transform into a period of endless trauma and lashings?

Nostalgia
I just visited pmssblues.net, my high school website. I have pretty fond memories of working on it four years ago. It has barely changed over the past few years, which either means my team did a bang up job or the new team are just a bunch of lazy asses. I'll bet on the latter.
Actually I wonder if there is even a web team anymore; most of the information seem out of date. It seems like the website has been reduced to a repository of newsletters and the daily Times. Gone are a days of staying in school until 7:30pm to work on Blue Shift, inking manga in Photoshop while contemplating what places will deliver food to a high school at 7pm. Instead, now I stay in an office until 6:30pm waiting for Excel to finish a damn lookup so I can redo a calculation.
What is also funny is that for the IB resource page, a page that I created if I may add, no one bothered to change the original user name nor the password. Moreover, they didn't even bother to remove the administrator account! Haha, if people only knew how stupidly easy it is to get into the administrator account... Anyways I doubt anyone at PMSS right now really knows how the script works. I also noticed that no new exams are added, so my baby is dead.
Apparently PMSS now has "IB Buisiness [sic] and Management". I wonder who is teaching it; if it is who I think it is then good luck to those who chose to take it. Hear me my fellow IB-screwed-kids from Port Moody. Your IB grade is highly dependent on who is teaching it--a lot of them have no clue what is going on. Get the syllabus and know what you need to learn before it is too late. There are still a couple of days before the May exams :P.

33 dead in 'horrific' campus shooting in Virginia
At least 33 people are dead and more than a dozen others wounded after a gunman opened fire at a Virginia college on Monday in what is being described as the worst campus shooting in U.S. history.
An injured person is carried out of Norris Hall, where most of the fatalities occurred. 'At least 30 to 40 big shots' were fired in the engineering building, a student said.
The suspected gunman took his own life at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, campus police Chief W.R. Flinchum told an afternoon news conference.
Police said they now know the identity of the gunman but are withholding his name for the time being. They said they did not know his motive or whether he was a student at the college, which has a student body of about 26,000 in a town with a total population of only 39,573.
There were two separate shootings about two hours apart at opposite ends of the campus. The first took place at about 7:15 a.m. ET at West Ambler Johnston dormitory, a co-ed residence housing more than 800 students, and the second about two hours later at an engineering building, Norris Hall.
University president Charles Steger said Norris Hall had become a "tragic" and "horrific crime scene."
"Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions," Steger said. "The university is shocked and indeed horrified."
Steger said authorities initially believed the dorm shooting was a domestic dispute because police found a dead woman and man in one of the dorm rooms.
"We had no reason to suspect any other incident was going to occur," Steger said.
Then at 9:25 a.m., police responded to calls of a second shooting at Norris Hall where they found a gunman had killed himself in a second-floor classroom after shooting dozens of students at that location.
Two weapons, which police declined to describe, were recovered and are now with a lab at the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to determine whether the shootings are related, Flinchum said.
Fifteen wounded people remain in several area hospitals, Flinchum said.
An off-campus man who knew one of the victims is a "person of interest" to police and has been co-operating, though he is not in custody, Flinchum said.
Gunman enters college room shooting
Derek O'Dell, a student wounded in the shooting, told MSNBC from a hospital that the shooter entered a room at Norris Hall that had about a dozen or so students and started shooting.
"He didn't say anything," O'Dell said. "He just shot and then left. Some of those hit were a lot more critical than me."
He said the shooter tried to get back into the room, but the students held the door shut.
"At first I thought it was a joke," O'Dell said. "You don't really think about gunmen just coming onto campus. But it became very serious, very quickly."
Trey Perkins, who was sitting in a German class in Norris Hall, told the Washington Post newspaper the gunman barged into the room at about 9:50 a.m. and opened fire for about a minute and a half, squeezing off 30 shots in all.
The gunman, Perkins said, first shot the professor in the head and then fired on the students. Perkins said the gunman was about 19 years old and had a "very serious but very calm look on his face."
"Everyone hit the floor at that moment," said Perkins, 20, of Yorktown, Va., a sophomore studying mechanical engineering.
"And the shots seemed like it lasted forever."
'It seemed so strange'
Erin Sheehan, who was also in the German class, told the student newspaper, the Collegiate Times, she was one of only four of the approximately two dozen people in the class to walk out of the room. The rest were dead or wounded, she said.
"It seemed so strange," Sheehan said.
The gunman "peeked in twice, earlier in the lesson, like he was looking for someone before he started shooting. But then we all heard something like drilling in the walls, and someone thought they sounded like bullets."
"That's when we blockaded the door to stop anyone from coming in."
She said the gunman "was just a normal-looking kid, Asian but he had on a Boy Scout-type outfit. He wore a tan button-up vest and this black vest, maybe it was for ammo or something."
"I saw bullets hit people's body," Sheehan said.
"There was blood everywhere."
As the shots rang out at Norris Hall, some students escaped through second-storey windows.
About 26,000 students attend the college in Blacksburg, Va.: 'Blacksburg is a very small town, everybody almost knows everybody. It's going to be very bad and very sad in here,' one student said after the shooting.About 26,000 students attend the college in Blacksburg, Va.: 'Blacksburg is a very small town, everybody almost knows everybody. It's going to be very bad and very sad in here,' one student said after the shooting.
A junior student named Josh, calling from campus, told the WDBJ news station in Virginia that he was inside Norris Hall when the gunman opened fire.
"We heard some loud banging, we weren't sure if it was construction or not, then we heard some screaming," he said.
"It didn't stop for at least two or three minutes," the student said, adding "at least 30 to 40 big shots" were fired.
"We all jumped out the window," he said.
'There were cops holding guns, shooting all over'
According to local television station WDBJ, high winds prevented helicopters from evacuating campus buildings.
Jamal Albarghouti, a student at the school, took video footage on his cellphone of the unfolding incident until police asked him to move because he was too close to the scene. The sounds of gunfire can be heard on the video while police can be seen holding guns outside of a building.
"It was really terrible. There were cops holding guns, shooting all over," Albarghouti said. "You can't imagine how sad everyone here is."
He said he was not yet sure whether he knows any of the victims.
"Blacksburg is a very small town, everybody almost knows everybody. It's going to be very bad and very sad in here."
Locked down for hours at dorm
Another student, Aimee Kanode, said the shooting in the dormitory occurred on the fourth floor, one floor above her room. She said her resident assistant banged on her door about 8 a.m. ET to tell students to stay in their rooms.
"They had us under lockdown," Kanode said. "They temporarily lifted the lockdown, the gunman shot again.
"We're all locked in our dorms surfing the internet trying to figure out what's going on," Kanode said.
Student and dorm resident Alex Miller — who shot a video of two police officers outside the dormitory patting down a person who was later released — told CBC News it was "frightening" when the shootings were underway just one floor below him.
He said he was a bit scared about the prospect of returning to class, adding, "You don't know if one of your classmates could be one" of the victims.
Three local hospitals rolled out their disaster preparedness teams to deal with the victims.
Some students later questioned why the gunman was able to strike a second time. They bitterly complained that there were no public-address announcements on campus after the first burst of gunfire. Many said the first word they received from the university was an e-mail more than two hours into the rampage — about the time the gunman struck again.
Steger defended the university's handling of the tragedy, saying: "We can only make decisions based on the information you had on the time. You don't have hours to reflect on it."
'This is every parent's nightmare'
Craig Nessler, an associate dean at the school, said campus security personnel are armed and there are loudspeakers around the campus used to broadcast emergency messages — including in this case. He said the broadcast told students to seek shelter because of a shooting.
Nessler said he hopes extra counsellors, who have already been set up on campus, will help students cope with the terrible incident.
"This is every parent's nightmare, even if your child is not directly involved," he said.
The college closed all entrances to the campus, told faculty and staff to go home and cancelled classes for Monday and Tuesday. Officials said the campus itself would open Tuesday and a convocation to grieve the dead would be held at Cassell Coliseum.
The names of the victims may be released Tuesday, Steger said at the news conference.
Second emergency closing in year
During a brief statement at the White House on Monday, U.S. President George W. Bush pledged federal support to local law enforcement and community officials.
"Schools should be places of sanctuary and safety and learning. When that safety is violated, that is felt in every American classroom," he said.
"Today our nation grieves with those who have lost a loved one."
In Canada, parliamentarians offered their condolences in the House of Commons.
"Such a senseless act leaves Canadians stunned and horrified," said Liberal MP Michael Ignatieff.
It was the second time in less than a year that the school, better known as Virginia Tech, has ordered an emergency closure of the campus because of a shooting.
In August 2006, the opening day of classes was cancelled and the campus closed when an escaped jail inmate killed a hospital guard and a sheriff's deputy involved in a massive manhunt just off the campus.

台灣暴力政治的盒子已被打開
台灣暴力政治的盒子已被打開/文﹕南方朔
2007年4月9日
【明報專訊】4月7日凌晨,一場怪火把台北的「草山行館」燒得盡光。同一天,桃園大溪的「蔣公行館」也被人噴漆「二二八元兇」字樣。隨 台灣立委與總統選舉愈來愈接近,整個台灣的形勢就像那把怪火一樣,已更加的詭譎陰沉,充滿了讓人不安的寒慄甚至暴力氣氛。
自從20世紀民國肇建到1970年代,對全球後進國而言,都還處於離封建專制未遠或獨裁統治的階段,而統治者為了方便,隨意設置行館之事也相當普遍。早年蔣介石在北伐後獲得權力,即在多處設有行館,到了台灣後,也在台灣各地陸續設置行館十餘處。在這些行館裏,位於陽明山的「草山行館」無疑的最為重要。
因為,這處行館乃是日本統治台灣時期,為了當時還是太子的裕仁要來台灣視察而建,它完成於1920年,後來成了日本殖民政權政商要人的溫泉別墅。1945年台灣光復後成為招待所,1949年國府遷台,蔣介石最初即以此為居所,翌年正式的「士林官邸」落成才遷離。但因「草山行館」環境清幽,他每年端午到中秋這段較熱的季節,仍多半到此居住。1975年蔣介石逝世,此處閒置,一直到1998年陳水扁當台北市長時才加以局部整修並開放參觀。而後在馬英九當台北市長時定名為「草山行館」並委外經營開放。此處的主體建築為磚石門廊及玄關,其餘皆為日本式木建築,另有四五棟秘書侍從所住的房屋,另有假山庭園,非常清雅。我因為是台北市「草山行館」委外經營的督導委員,曾多次至該處勘察。
蔣介石毫無疑問的是特定歷史階段所造就的威權人物,這是歷史問題。只要歷史改變,這種人物就會從神壇上被拉下人間。以前神聖不可侵犯的行館後來變成人們可以參觀及喝茶聊天的地方,它所註解的即是歷史改變的意義。
只是,從今年初開始,由於立委和總統大選的接近,現在的陳水扁政權欠缺實質政績來保衛政權,遂將腦筋動到了蔣介石頭上,它有計劃的展開清算蔣介石的運動,包括宣稱蔣介石是「二二八元兇」,揚言要把「中正紀念堂」改名,並拆除圍牆;而在民進黨統治的高雄市,硬是拆掉蔣介石銅像。陳水扁過去當台北市長時還不是還整建「草山行館」嗎?怎麼一翻臉又搞起「批蔣」的清算運動呢?
而說穿了,其實也沒有別的。當陳水扁任台北市長時,由於未掌握中央政權,當然必須做一些符合主流的動作。而一旦取得中央政權,即有了推動「去中國化」的權力。而且「去中國化」、「清算蔣介石」,一方面可藉此煽動台灣內部的族群仇恨,另方面也可藉此轉移諸如貪腐無能的問題。在陳水扁的算計裏,只要持續煽動,當台灣的台灣人和外省人對立升高,自稱代表台灣人的民進黨即可得到人口的優勢而永遠掌握權力。陳水扁一點都不疲倦的搞這些問題,其實就是要藉此來收割選票利益。研究近代法西斯民粹主義的,都當知道找廉價的敵人來恨,乃是最廉價有效的伎倆。它和文革時找廉價的「黑五類」來恨,藉以煽起民粹情緒,從而達到奪權之目的可謂相同。
而除此之外,研究近代政治暴力的也發現到,政治人物用語言暴力來煽動,他們的語言並非實質暴力,但煽動久了,盲從者即會將這種語言暴力具體化,而成為真實的暴力,而這其實也符合了製造語言暴力者心裏想說但卻不便說出來的本意。
就以「草山行館」大火為例,在沒有透過科學證據證明真象之前,當然人人皆可任意解釋。但我們卻不能忽視了,最近台灣北部正值清明雨季,陽明山更是霪雨不休,但就在這樣的季節,一把火卻很快的就把偌大一棟建築燒得盡光,附近的居民還說大火時傳出陣陣爆炸聲。「草山行館」是失火還是縱火?外人當然無法知道,但它卻有 太多疑竇,至少它已可能是「清算蔣介石」這種「語言暴力」逐漸升級到了「具體暴力」。桃園大溪的「蔣公行館」遭人噴漆,把陳水扁所說的「二二八元兇」具體化成為行動,誰又能說這兩者之間沒有相似性呢?
「草山行館」被燒、「蔣公行館」被噴漆,看起來都和國計民生無關,但這種事卻無疑的是巨大的惡兆。它已隱約的透露出,此刻的台灣在持續的煽動及製造仇恨下,相信這種話的譫狂者已經出現,他們接受政客煽動的語言暴力之召喚,開始把這種語言暴力具體化,而最可怕的乃是做這種事的人會自認是代表了正義。自鳴正義的暴力是最可怕的暴力。強盜在殺人放火時知道自己不對,而被政治暗示出來的自鳴正義之暴力則否,當暴力而有理,這種暴力就只會增加而不會止息!
美國人曾說陳水扁是個「不可預測的人」。這其實是不對的,陳水扁絕對可以預測,他總是在「語言暴力」的邊緣游走,並不斷的向盲從者發出暗示,因而真正不可預測的不是他,而是接受他的暗示而付諸行動的人。當蔣介石被說成是屠殺台灣人的元兇,燒掉他的住宅,拆掉他的銅像和圍牆,難道不是正義的英雄嗎?當不獨就是台奸,就是中共的同路人,就是不愛台灣,那麼把這些人殺掉豈不就是對台灣之愛的證明?把這種人抓去坐牢,不也是順天應人的義行?
因此,「草山行館」大火,「蔣公行館」被噴漆,它的意義不是事情本身,而在於它所代表的徵候。當搞政治的靠清算挑撥與加工製造仇恨來騙取選票,這種語言暴力就像是潘 拉的盒子被打開一樣,具體暴力的精靈就開始四散。大火和噴漆還是小暴力,在2008年大選之前如果出現大暴力,我也一點都不會覺得訝異。把它看成是對愚蠢台灣人的一種詛咒,如此而已。正因台灣有 暴力的不可預測性,我們又怎能不事先有所警惕與準備呢?
南方朔
What I think is most disturbing is the parallel that one can draw between what is happening in Taiwan to what happened during the cultural revolution in China. It tears me up that we Chinese people keeps screwing ourselves up like this.

Ode to a VERY Bad Textbook
Oh Operations Research: An Introduction 7th Edition,
You are just as terrible as your little brother,
Operations Research: An Introduction 8th Edition.
But at least you cost less.
You are both riddled with ridiculous errors,
Which is sad as you've had EIGHT tries,
Maybe if the 8th stop correcting things that the 7th got right,
Then the 8th would not have had as many dumb errors.
Oh mighty Calculator God, please grant Taha a calculator,
So he can do the simple arithmetics in the Examples correctly,
Oh mighty English God, please grant Taha basic English skills,
So he can reword his Exercises which are all clear as mud.
Oh mighty God of Vision, please grant Taha some eyes,
So his Examples would use the numbers stated by the Questions,
Oh mighty God of Sewing, please sew Taha's ass shut,
So he would stop pulling things out of it and putting it into this book.
Oh might Fire God, please grant me the awesomeness of your power,
So I can burn this terrible textbook to hell.

Don't bother to "look inside" this book"; it just sucks.
