Good Programmers Steal Great Code.

I think the reason why I like programming is that unlike other forms of writings, there is no such thing as plagiarism. In fact programmers are openly encouraged to reuse good design and codes. Reusability is the key feature of programming. In programming, when people use your codes, it is definitely a form of flattery. "Good programmers write good code; Great programmers steal great code." However, looking for good code snippets is not an easy task. And not everything can be used out of the box. You got to be able to understand the codes, and know what to use. In fact, the easiest way to learn programming is through actual coding with sample codes. Having said all that, programming is also about creativity and logical reasoning skills.

On the topic of programming, have you ever wonder how programming languages can be described as different types of women? Well someone just did that. I am not sure whether such women exist, but they definitely fit some of the characteristics of programming languages quite well. heh heh. Well I like the descriptions about Ms. Java and Ms. C#. Very very true...

And here are some reasons for you to learn C... No wonder that is the programming language used in SC103, Introduction To Programming. =p

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...

Saturday Afternoon Routine.

I just got back from the Saturday tuition sessions. It has been almost 5 months since I started.I have two classes of primary school children, P4 and P3, taking Maths and Science, and English, respectively. It has become a Saturday routine. A energy-draining activity. It is somehow different from giving volunteering tuition. When you are paid, the responsibility seems greater. And if you ain't doing a good job, someone else is readily available to take up yours. The fact that I really need that money, I have to put in more effort. Some students have left, and some have joined. I'm not sure whether they left cuz they think I ain't good 'nuff for them. But there are some who seem really happy and appreciative to have me around. On my first lesson, I set the ground rules for my classes. I told them my expectations on their behavior. On boy, how naive I was. They are only nine or ten, they don't understand the significance of those rules. After a couple of lessons with ...
