堅強啲呀小玲

每當銀行戶口只餘下三位數,

捱得過死不去的話,

月尾又是一條好囡的啦。

每次窮到不知所謂的地步,

就會迸發出

Benchmarking Safari on the iPad

Since purchasing the iPad, I've constantly been amazed by how fast everything works—switching between large apps is no longer a game of roulette, and browsing the web is a breeze.

public static BufferedImage verticalReverse(BufferedImage source){    BufferedImage out = new BufferedImage(source.getWidth(), source.getHeight(), source.getType());    for (int i = 0; i < source.getWidth(); i++){        for (int j = 0; j < source.getHeight(); j++){            out.setRGB(i, j, source.getRGB(i, source.getWidth

Colour

Just as a writer plays with words, a painter works with colours. Good painters dance back and forth across an infinite splendour of hues. For novice like me, it may require a hell of a lot of lessons to learn the know-how.

Yes, though it shames me to say it now, I wasn't sure what to answer when my wife quizzed me about the three primary colours. Truth be told, I've been having a hard time figuring out the colours of the clothes in my
