This song is by Hua Er Yue Dui, or Flower Band, and is entitled Hua Die Fei, which roughly translated means Transformed Flight.

Xi Shua Shua by Flower Band (嘻刷刷, 花儿乐队)

Here’s my latest venture into Chinese music. This one is a very catchy tune. I first heard it in the dance club we frequented in Shiyan, Heaven on Earth ( 天上人间 ) during the holidays, and since then, everywhere.

Sitting in front of the computer is fun. Unless you are engrossed in something and you don’t notice the time pass. Before you know it, you’ve sat in one position, hand on the mouse, for 3 hours. No problem, you’re a keyboard monkey and can do this for days. However, you try to move yourContinue reading “Pain in the neck (and upper back)”

Gotta love you / Bu de bu ai ( 不的不爱 )

I got the Chinese lyrics and the Idiomatic Translation from a site and also used it to assist with the conversation to Pinyin. As the words on that site was in bitmap format, I retyped it so it’s easy to copy and paste.

Guangzhou BaiYun Airport Information

Last night I was trawling through my website’s access log, as I’ve been receiving an annoying amount of referrer spam. Of the 300 unique hits my very new site (*gloat*) recorded in November, more than half (*pout*) was from a filthy referrer-spammer.
