Too young to die

I started to know Amy Winehouse because she has a lot of statues and her style music sounds like Spanish-Cuba/Jazz. This is the case of bad "dam me".

I Only Want to Be With You

Watched this movie again on the weekend. "heh, what is your name, Cam I borrow you 2 bucks and give me your phone number so I can come to see you and return your money... How do you succeed? because you said "Just do it"...Yes, Love offers tender and true."

I don't know what it is
That makes me love you so
I only know I never wanna let you go
'Cos you started something
Oh, can't you see
That ever since we met
You've had a hold on me
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you

It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I wanna spend each moment of the day with you
Oh, look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's true
I only want to be with you

You stopped and smiled at me
Asked if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didn't stand a chance

Now, listen, honey
I just wanna be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey
I don't care
'Cos you started something
Oh, can't you see
That ever since we met
You've had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you

[Instrumental Interlude]

You stopped and smiled at me
Asked me if I'd care to dance
I feel into your open arms
And I didn't stand a chance

Now hear this, honey
I just wanna be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey
I don't care
'Cos you started something
Oh, can't you see
That ever since we met
You've had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
I said, all I, all I want to do
I only want to be with you

What A Wonderful World

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Happy weekend. Finished reversed engineer for BIOS to enable the VT bit for my processor, a bit job for both hardware and software, but feel great to see it is working. Happiness is looking forward to do a good thing for yourself or people you love or...

How Can I Tell Her

We will be happy if we make our life simple.

She knows when I am lonesome
She cries when i am sad
She's up in the good times
She's down in the bad
Whenever I am discouraged
She knows what to do
But girl...
She doesn't know about you

I can tell her my troubles
She makes them all seem right
I can make up excuses
Not to hold her at night
We can talk about tomorrow
I'll her things i wanna do
But girl...
How can I tell her about you

How can I tell her about you
Girl, please tell me what to do
Every things seems right whenever I'm with you
So girl, won't you tell, how to tell her about you

How can I tell her I don't miss her
Whenever I am away
How can I say it's you I think of
Every single night and day
But when is it easy
Telling someone the truth
Oh girl, help me tell her about you

How can I tell her about you
Girl, please tell me what to do
Everything seems right whenever I'm with
So girl, won't you tell, how to tell her about you

The formula of happiness

I am always looking for waking up in the morning to drink a fresh coffee of Trung Nguyen with the fresh milk in the backyard and as always she (the cat) looks at me. Sang nao anh thuc day tap the duc uong cafe xong o phia sau nha trong vuon con meo hang som nay den nhin anh va doi khi con meo nay co xat vao anh nhung muon duoc nan niu - happiness is to love and to be loved and to touch and to be touched. I think even the cat wants to have that feeling. She is not my cat but my neighbor's cat but she comes to visit me every morning in the summer. Happiness is the action of looking forward something to happen to fulfill ...but
Psychologists have now come up with a formula for happiness:
Pleasure + engagement + meaning = happiness.

- First, they suggest we need to be really engaged and engrossed in what we do. In the jargon it is called "flow". We have all experienced it. It is that feeling we get when we just do not even bother to look at the clock because we are so into what we are doing.

- Second, positive psychologists suggest we need meaning in our lives.
We can get this from doing an interesting job, or working on a project we really believe in, or by doing something worthwhile. While we adapt quickly to more money and material possessions, it seems we adapt less quickly, if at all, to meaningful things.

However, this simple formula hides a number of important issues.
It turns out you can have too much engagement and it does not necessarily lead to more happiness. For example, you can become engrossed in work and become a workaholic and less happy.

You can experience flow in gambling but it will not necessarily make you happy.
The formula is not exhaustive or comprehensive.

Pigs lay in the mud and do nothing, it is meaningless.

Breakfast at Wimbledon - my weekend

This is one of my habit is watching Wimbledon and US Open Tennis. Sang hom nay thuc day log vao computer moi biet rang Breakfast at Wimbledon for men final tennis. Tuyet voi buoi sang thuc day tre va anh mo co giac mo that dep la trung ve so 4.2 tr chia ra lam 4 nguoi ban cung mua. I dreamt about winning lotto about 4.2 mil and divide by 4 friends. It is awesome morning. This is kind of odd because I don't think about winning lotto, I hope it is an auspice. But on Friday I did sold some stocks from my portfolio because I predict that the future economy is not that great because the debt ceiling in US is due date on Aug 2. So I sold stocks on Friday before the holiday long weekend. Friday is my lucky day so most of my decisions happen on Friday. I am afraid that the economy could halt or collapse like in 2008. I put my note on my monitor to sell them all when the the time is right. But now the cash is not good either because the US currency value has been trailed low. It is bad, we are in an uncertain world now. Money to me, it is just numbers but it is nice to have these numbers to help anyone that you like and you don't have to worry about it.

Free time I like to go to swimming, play tennis, watch tennis that are the only sports that I like beside I like to play my guitar, cooking, listen to music, design the best websites...I have a lot of "dam me", recently I don't have time to do the things that I like, this is why I haven't written my blog as often as I wanted.

Wimbledon – Pressure as a privilege

Billy Jean King once made a comment on the stresses and strains of tennis in which she remarked that “pressure is a privilege”
Rat dung con nguoi cang hoan hao hon neu co co ap luc neu ko con ap luc thi ko con gi thich thu. Ap luc la mot dac an. Vi vay khi lam viec met nhoc hay gi do la mot vinh du.
We can do a higher thing if our basic needs is fulfilled because we don't have to worry about a small thing. Some places in the world people cannot do a big thing because they're worry and wondering about their next meal.

Everyone has their own haven my haven is acting. Morgan Freeman

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley

VT - Virtualization Technology and it is not Vermont

This weekend I face this problem on my 2 old laptops they are about 3, 4 years old. Try to install the VM machine they are both dual core processor working on 64-bit win 7 and linux 64-bit. But it does work with Virtual machine guest 64-bit because Intel does not support VT and most of my AMD machines work without problem. I searched the net I was laughing with this comment.

"When you next go shopping, you might want to burn a copy of the .iso
from this article and take with you. You can boot up the machine & it
will test to see if VT-x is working, or can be enabled"

AMD is the way to go it may not as fast as Intel but it has all the Bells and Whistles Mean when needed. The error is also mislead because dual core processor supports 64-bit but the error like this: This kernel requires an X86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU. Why don't it says CPU has no VT. By reading the error the way I understand it has to do with 32 or 64-bit.
This morning I finished device driver geometry to support 100% accurately for my monitor. To figure out these magic numbers to work the way I wanted:
E0 38 90 34 62 1A 27 40 6C B0 36 00 DA 28 11 00 00 18 1680x1050 59.68 Hz with more vertical adjustment.
Now I can make any computers to work with all LCD tivi screen by making device driver follows the flat screen tivi. Read the geometry from tivi and write it into the device driver of computer to support the resolution of tivi instead of the other way around. Feel good.
It took over 2 days to get this geometry right because the s/w tool gave a wrong information. These days we depends on tools to debug but sometimes the software tools give us a wrong information and scratch our head and read over and over again what's wrong with these numbers:
21 39 90 30 62 1A 27 40 68 B0 36 00 DA 28 11 00 00 1C it makes the screen flickers after running for a while because it is wrong geometry.
So many problems which are hard to keep track and remember them. It is different from the old days now you may know a lot but a little bit of everything and it is not very deep as before. I think that the engineers now are smart than before as you can see for yourself how the technology changes our life. People says that if you don't manage the technology then the technology will manage yourself.

Weekend

In the past 3 days I was working on the problem which I thought it was a software problem because the code worked in win 7 but did not worked on the linux. I had to disable PCI Bus Master. By looking on the Boot Loader with error: hd0 out of disk, error: couldn’t read file error: you need to load the kernel first I tried everything that I could change the software. Sang nay tuc qua ra goc me ngoi doc rat tuc gian va ko hieu. For 3 days I was so angry to myself because I spent a lot of time but did not find the solution this morning I took the shower and came out I changed the hardware and the boot loader worked and I am so happy.
Cung hen ko nhu Archimedes chay ra duong ko mat gi ca khi kham pha ap xuat cua nc d/v vat khac nhau tuy vao ty trong qui luat day cua Archimedes, vi co the biet dc chat luong cua vuong mien cua vua gia va thiet. The legends goes further and tells that Archimedes was so excited with his discovery that he hopped out of the bath, and rushed naked into the street yelling triumphantly, "Eureka!" "Eureka!" (Greek word for 'I have found it!).
I was thinking why I had to work so hard to find a solution but I thought again if there is no challenge then life will be boring and no exciting the fact we live here and do good thing because of that interesting. This principle keeps me going. To me, the worst of all is you don't know what to do with your time. I saw a lot of bad things that people may do if they have a lot of free time. The reason that China to become a power house compared to US because the crime between 2 countries, a lot of resources that US spent for crime, each of prisoner could cost the country 45 thousands a year. You just imagine to see the different one contributes to the country paying tax and the other person will cost the country - a minus and a plus as same as doing a good thing and doing a bad thing. One more thing the good people does a good thing they are more tolerance and forgiving. The reason is because they have an interesting life to live why bother with a small thing. Don't you think so?
I remember a long time ago when I watched tennis. I heard that Billie Jean King said that pressure is a privilege. It is so right.
T watched 2 movies the tourist which was boring and the mechanic it was so so. I still have a lot of movies to watch but no time.
I just finished the first draft of the website which I intended to put everything that I knew and I discovered in it for everyone to view. My contribution to the world what I received. Google search is good for everyone. This website is google for myself when I search what I know but I forget, when I need something I just go this website. I don't like blog because I can not change it the way I want and I want to manage the database that I write. Youtube is good but sometimes you come back the video is gone or copyright issues.

Do you want to know when you will die. Blood Test Claims To Tell You How Long You Have Till You Die

A new blood test soon to be launched in the United Kingdom claims to be able to tell you how long you are going to live. The £435 ($700) test measures the length of a person's telomeres - the inventor claims this is associated with longevity. Telomeres are DNA sections that cover the end of chromosomes, effectively protecting them from damage and loss of cell function - which are said to be associated with aging.

World's Best Ruins

Angkor, Cambodia - I really enjoyed this place, its cost me 100 dollars just for the Visa but it was worthwhile to see the World's Best Ruins city. It is incredible that people can build something like this on 10 century. Thanh Dia My Son Ancient city, My Son is good to see too as small scale compared to Angkor, most of My Son temples if you pay attention these 2 architectures are different one was built by layering the bricks and Angkor was completely by stones. Cham dynasty vs. Khmer architecture. They are both fascinated me. See my old entries.

War or natural disaster might have weakened the Khmer Empire's ancient capital, but ultimately, it was the jungle that conquered this ninth- to fifteenth-century urban center. Today, the densely forested 150-square-mile Angkor Archaeological Park protects part of a vast cluster of ancient capitals, many of which remain buried. The park's most famous temple, Angkor Wat, is the world's largest religious building. But the park's dozens of other ruins, including Bayon temple with its wall of 11,000 carved figures, offer quieter glimpses into the art and architecture of this culturally rich 600-year period.

I need to see all of these places.

Slideshow of Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat ("City Temple") is a vast temple complex near Siem Reap, about 200 miles from the capital of Phnom Penh in Cambodia. Built in the 12th century by the king of the prosperous Khmer empire, Angkor Wat was built as a royal temple dedicated to a Hindu deity.
After the city of Angkor fell to invaders, Angkor Wat receded into the jungle but continued as a Buddhist temple and a pilgrimage site over the centuries.
Angkor Wat is the best preserved example of Khmer architecture in Cambodia and is so grand in design that some rank it among the seven wonders of the world. It appears on the Cambodian national flag, a very rare instance of a flag incorporating an image of a building.

A one day pass will cost you 20 dollars USD. In Cambodia specially Angkor Wat for females you need to dress pants or jeans or well covered dresses otherwise you are not allowing to enter a certain temples because to the Khmer they are sacred and spiritual places. I was heard the story that a long time ago the females would not allow to enter into the temples but now with $USD 20 dollars you can enter into the temples with the above conditions.

The best way to live is to have an independent life

In this life I found that there are 2 kinds of person:
To know everything in this life is impossible but if you can or at least you try you will find happiness and not depend on someone for small things specially if you are a man. In order to archive this goal you should have an independence mind, deep thought, proud about yourself and self learning. This kind of people usually a very hard working people to try independence by preparing themselves well and other people depends to other kind usually lie back, talkative.
Easy to access the internet has made people easy to independent for almost everything if they know how to find it and it will be always this way now on if you have a background education. As you can see I recently traveled with my laptop I can order/book a hotel, looking around the city, places to visit as long as I can access the internet. For me it is good to depend on the internet because it was designed for this purpose.

Thánh địa Mỹ Sơn thuộc xã Duy Phú, huyện Duy Xuyên, tỉnh Quảng Nam, cách thành phố Đà Nẵng khoảng 69 km và cách thành cổ Trà Kiệu khoảng 20 km, là tổ hợp bao gồm nhiều đền đài Chăm Pa, trong một thung lũng đường kính khoảng 2 km, bao quanh bởi đồi núi. Đây từng là nơi tổ chức cúng tế của vương triều Chăm pa cũng như là lăng mộ của các vị vua Chăm pa hay hoàng thân, quốc thích. Thánh địa Mỹ Sơn được coi là một trong những trung tâm đền đài chính của Ấn Độ giáo ở khu vực Đông Nam Á và là di sản duy nhất của thể loại này tại Việt Nam.

Thông thường người ta hay so sánh thánh địa này với các tổ hợp đền đài chính khác ở Đông Nam Á như Borobudur (Java, Indonesia), Pagan (Myanma), Angkor Wat (Campuchia) và Ayutthaya (Thái Lan). Từ năm 1999, thánh địa Mỹ Sơn đã được UNESCO chọn là một trong các di sản thế giới tại phiên họp thứ 23 của Ủy ban di sản thế giới theo tiêu chuẩn C (II) như là một ví dụ điển hình về trao đổi văn hoá và theo tiêu chuẩn C (III) như là bằng chứng duy nhất của nền văn minh châu Á đã biến mất.
Mỹ Sơn có lẽ được bắt đầu xây dựng vào thế kỷ 4. Trong nhiều thế kỷ, thánh địa này được bổ sung thêm các ngọn tháp lớn nhỏ và đã trở thành khu di tích chính của văn hóa Chămpa tại Việt Nam. Ngoài chức năng hành lễ, giúp các vương triều tiếp cận với các thánh thần, Mỹ Sơn còn là trung tâm văn hóa và tín ngưỡng của các triều đại Chămpa và là nơi chôn cất các vị vua, thầy tu nhiều quyền lực. Những di vật đầu tiên được tìm thấy ghi dấu thời đại vua Bhadravarman I (Phạm Hồ Đạt) (trị vì từ năm 381 đến 413), vị vua đã xây dựng một thánh đường để thờ cúng linga và Shiva. Mỹ Sơn chịu ảnh hưởng rất lớn của Ấn Độ cả về kiến trúc - thể hiện ở các đền tháp đang chìm đắm trong huy hoàng quá khứ, và về văn hóa - thể hiện ở các dòng bia ký bằng chữ Phạn cổ trên các tấm bia.

Dựa trên các tấm bia văn tự khác, người ta biết nơi đây đã từng có một đền thờ đầu tiên được làm bằng gỗ vào thế kỷ 4. Hơn 2 thế kỷ sau đó, ngôi đền bị thiêu hủy trong một trận hỏa hoạn lớn. Vào đầu thế kỷ 7, vua Sambhuvarman (Phạm Phạn Chi) (trị vì từ năm 577 đến năm 629) đã dùng gạch để xây dựng lại ngôi đền còn tồn tại đến ngày nay (có lẽ sau khi dời đô từ Khu Lật về Trà Kiệu). Các triều vua sau đó tiếp tục tu sửa lại các đền tháp cũ và xây dựng các đền tháp mới để thờ các vị thần. Gạch là vật liệu tốt để lưu giữ ký ức của một dân tộc kỳ bí và kỹ thuật xây dựng tháp của người Chàm cho tới nay vẫn còn là một điều bí ẩn. Người ta vẫn chưa tìm ra lời giải đáp thích hợp về chất liệu gắn kết, phương thức nung gạch và xây dựng.

Những ngọn tháp và lăng mộ có niên đại từ thế kỷ 7 đến thế kỷ 14, nhưng các kết quả khai quật cho thấy các vua Chăm đã được chôn cất ở đây từ thế kỷ 4. Tổng số công trình kiến trúc là trên 70 chiếc. Thánh địa Mỹ Sơn có thể là trung tâm tôn giáo và văn hóa của nhà nước Chăm pa khi thủ đô của quốc gia này là Trà Kiệu hay Đồng Dương.
