在台湾电影行业萎靡不振，金马奖越来越无聊的今天，郭SG连中两元，也不奇怪了。其实他自己的演技在两部戏里并没有多大变化，就是哭的眼泪鼻涕的，一脸打工仔春运挤车几天没睡好的样子。不过比起金光灿灿，晃的人眼睁不开的大片，《父子》和《三叉口》还是强多了。故事发生在马来西亚，拍的环境背景也很贴近马国的生活。里头的哥们生活的及其郁闷，欠了一屁股赌债，老婆和别人跑了。自己和儿子四处躲债，让儿子去偷东西。真是背极了。里面几个女演员也看着比巩大妈顺眼多了。

China really changes a lot. Now 1 out of 10 Chinese is web citizen (using internet). To pay utility bills now is really easy. The website is http://www.962233.com . Well, the site name looks really spooky. Don't worry. It is printed on the back of your bill. You login, search your bill by some number, and pay it, as simple as that. How much the utility? For electricity, 0.617CNY per KWH. For gas, 2.10CNY per m3.

《黄金甲》就不多说了，我看的怎么老觉得是《夜宴》呢？而且从《无极》开始， 皇帝都改了叫法了，一个字，王，很奇怪的感觉。据说是《雷雨》改编的。实在是无聊极了。王朔说老张就是一搞装修的。我看也就是给暴发户搞装修的。

I heard the buzz - VMware Fusion on Mac beta is out. I logon the VMTN, register to download. Apparently the site only accepts US address. Nor Singapore neither China. The .dmg file is around 110M. I am so eager to see how it works. Whoops! Click the .dmg and get the message that it only supports Mac on Intel, not PowerPC core. Damn. BTW. In China Apple store, I see Apple computer installed with not Mac OS X, but Windows XP. Why bother to pay extra cash just to get that bitten apple logo?

To view blogger.com is fine in China, but to create new post is another story. I want to post more blogs, but the sign-in is almost unusable in China. The most talked about topics in Shanghai are - investment fund, stock, house. If you got nothing to talk about, these topics are good start. Of course, there are many other gossip - such as automobiles, big screens. The most played social game is Mafia or killing people game. Everyone is playing it. It is fun.

I have met twice in both Singapore and Shanghai. Both are from airport. One is the travel distance is too short. Another is too far! Sound strange? In Singapore Changi airport, there are some luxury Benz cars. The fare is fixed 35SGD for whole island. I need go from airport (east) all the way to NTU (west), the longest distance in Singapore. The driver keeps complaining on the car, very annoying. He think I am taking advantage of this fixed price. Frankly, I don't know. This is my first time taking this fixed price taxi. When arrived, I gave him 5SGD more. He is happy then. I will not take this cab anymore. In Shanghai Pudong airport, I took one back to where I sleep. The fare was 130 RMB. The driver was not satisfied too. He said he waited for 5 hours in airport. I understood. Every taxi driver on airport wants to pick up someone go back Puxi. I share the feeling with them, but I need go back sleep no matter they are happy or not.

I have installed VMware-player-1.0.3-34682 on Windows XP, grabbed a Ubuntu 6.10 vmware image from http://isv-image.ubuntu.com/vmware/ . The monitor is Dell 20" LCD with 1600x1200 resolution, but the Ubuntu guest inside VMware can only have 800x600 resolution. I tried to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X. It didn't work. The Scree Resolution Preferences still has only 800x600 and 640x480. I tried to modify the .vmx setting, no luck. Finally, find the solution. Run sudo vmware-config-tools.pl, it will ask if you want to change resolution. Now Ubuntu is in 1280x960 resolution, and there are plenty other options shown up in Screen Resolution Prefs.
