Hi IceFrog

likely to be the most crowd-appealing email I ever send.

Hi IceFrog,

I had one occasion where the game was in -sd mode and -switch was used and votes were made before choosing heroes. What happened next was the players who were switched could see no hero choice in any of the taverns and circles of power.
You may want to look into it =)

Happy Chinese New Year - if you celebrate it.
Thanks for DotA.


Cheers,
Chris

occasional hunger

it's been quite some time since I heard gossip regarding known people... either people don't talk about things to me since I seem to have my own world - whatever my statement means - or I've just been insensitive about what's going on.
so when I got absorbed into such talk after the meeting with CACGC, I somehow managed to suppress my dinner n DotA lust... and sit for a hot topic.
and it was as entertaining as a show. and after 30mins or so.. though everyone else's still talking, I left since I felt like I've had enough of it - just like having enough of a show.

gossip, gossip, evil thing
much unhoppiness it brings
if you can't say something nice,
don't talk at all, it's my advice

a white lie

A new teacher was getting to know the kids by asking them their name and what their father did for a living.
The first little girl said: "My name is Mary and my Daddy is a postman."
The next child, a little boy said: "I'm Andy and my Dad is a mechanic."
And so it went until one little boy said: "My name is Johnny and my father is a striptease artist in a gay club."
The teacher gasped and quickly changed the subject. Later, in the school yard, the teacher approached Little Johnny privately and asked if it was really true that his dad danced nude in a gay bar.
Little Johnny blushed and said, "No, he's really a Business Development Director at Lehman Brothers, but I'm just too embarrassed to tell anyone."

ps. a joke I found somewhere

impressions

why do we need to impress people?
why can't we just be ourselves?
...
don't be dumb la dude,, of course because u don't live alone.. u need to make people fond of u.. need to make them look at u as a good product.. else u'll b junk.

libraries

yesterday I eventually have to set my feet on science library.
That makes one new library every year: CL at year 1, HSSML at year 2, now science lib.

two engineering principles that is generalizable for life.
1. for everything there's a payoff. the better something is, the better off you need to pay.
2. ideal means does not exist.
