      <image:title>Blog - The words we lose, the thoughts we erase - Excerpt from Newspeak (1984)</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 1984, Newspeak is the Party’s engineered language, systematically reducing vocabulary to crush intellectual rebellion; by erasing words like ‘freedom’ or ‘justice,’ it renders rebellious ideas literally unthinkable. (Learn more here)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Guugu Yimithirr, a langague spoken in the north of Queensland, Australia, lack egocentric spatial terms like "left" or "right," relying instead on cardinal directions. Always “to the north of you” not “to your left side.” Speakers develop an innate, constant sense of orientation. (Source)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Climbing up to the Big Beehive in Banff</image:title>
      <image:caption>Suddenly I remembered a story of a near-death experience I had read somewhere, about the determination of my after-life depends on how many different experiences I have had during this life. Every distinct experience is a token, which accumulates happiness. I am not religious or superstitious, but somehow the story got stuck in my head subconsciously. Perhaps because it conforms to one of mine inherit beliefs, the story motivates me to be open, curious, and excited to explore various experiences in the world - let it be small such as reading a book in a different genre, or big as experiencing different countries and making friends with people from all over the world. I believe it adds some colors to this life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Arbitrary Coherence and Anchoring in Real Estate Negotiation</image:title>
      <image:caption>In the book, Ariely mentions the example of social security number influencing the customers’ willingness to pay for certain products. In the experiment, students were asked to write the last two digits of their social security numbers on the top right corner of the page, before putting down their maximum prices willing to pay for some pre-selected products with limited information, other than a short description. It turned out that the top 20 percent bid an average of $56 for the cordless keyboard; the bottom 20 percent bid an average of $16. In the end, students with social security numbers ending in the upper 20 percent placed bids that were 216 to 346 percent higher than those of the students with social security numbers ending in the lowest 20 percent. Interesting, isn’t it?</image:caption>

The range is limited by each party’s respective BATNA, the “walk away” price point. Conversation happens when respective BATNA crosses over, that there is a zone to negotiate.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Quantum Entanglement and Thoughts - Physicists take first-ever photo of quantum entanglement. (Image credit: University of Glasgow)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Such entanglement was proven experimentally. Scientists have successfully demonstrated quantum entanglement with various particles, such as photons, electrons, and even very small diamonds. The University of Glasgow even captured the very first visual evidence of entanglement in 2019, known as Bell entanglement, described by late physicist John Steward Bell in the 1960s (Source). A stream of entangled particles were created, fired, and split into two equal “arms” going down different paths. Then a super sensitive camera captured this. Since they were entangled, the picture shows the perfect opposite state of the particle at the same time even after separated.</image:caption>

From music composition to blog writing, from reading to communicating, from researching to presenting, I have always wanted to leave my marks, deliver my messages, and make my voices in the world. Why not take my expression to the professional world? Immediately afterwards, I knew what I needed to do.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Prepare for some lagging. All my internet settings have been the same. I cannot explain why some was horrible and some ok. Be ready to take another test. If anything happen, relax and take another one. Think of the $300 registration fee as part of the learning. Follow the exact instructions from the proctor. Nothing sneaky. Online tends to be less trust than physical test center, not ideal but understandably so. Take the test early. Don’t wait until the last minute for the application. Be prepared for administrative review, which could take up to 20 business days, before the official score release. Use the whiteboard - in practice, mock-up, and exam!

      <image:title>Blog - Life Updates and Power of Habits - We have moved to Canada now! East coast on the Toronto side. It has been an extremely exhausting relocation experience in my life. Please note that I had moved across the globe from China to Boston when I was 17, and then from Boston to Memphis nearly 3 years ago. First time relocation for college, I came with 2 big suitcases. Second time going to the South, the only addition after all these years is a car loaded with a couple plates and beddings that could not fit in my 2 suitcases. I did not purchase things than essential, which in my opinion at the time were unnecessary liabilities. And when I say essential, I do not mean it in the way like a girl saying the closet is also missing the next essential item. I mean it in the way that I have only one bowl, one mug, and one set of fork and knife. A set without someone to share is not only unnecessary but also makes me feel alone. Which in some degree true, but I was never lonely with myself.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Life Updates and Power of Habits - Moving in with Lars has put a rosy picture in my way of looking at thing. His apartment (or later our apartment) has filled with wood couches shipped all the way from Denmark, handmade by grand grand (or more) dad. There are Kay Bojesen monkeys (and later his mom bought me owl, dogs, and bobble head), which are stupidly expensive by just being cute. There are vases from Georg Jensen vases, his mountain bike, race bike, city bike, not to mention his nieces that sent over paintings every time they had a painting class. I mean, it was a place filled with stuffs! At first it was totally different than my previous life methodology, but gradually I started to feel emotional connection with the furniture and objects, that they made me feel home. Although I am still the one that stresses that “this needs to go out,” I started to realize that attachment is not that bad of a thing to have.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Life Updates and Power of Habits - The book offers the habit loop framework, which helps explain how habits form and how we can change. The argument goes that a cue triggers the routine, which turns into a reward. In this case, the cue is around 3pm in the afternoon, the routine is to go to cafeteria to grab a cookie, and the reward is quality away time from your time. If the routine is not desirable - if the daily cookie adds a few unwanted pounds, by identifying the cue and reward, and inserting new routine, the habit can be successfully transformed. The new routine in this case could be going to your colleague’s desk and chatting with them, than going to cafeteria for a cookie.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Life Updates and Power of Habits - Another point I would like to advise is to take baby steps. I used to be a person waking up to write down specific daily tasks, quantifying my goals of the day. For example I would not put down book-reading, but specifically 30 pages of xyz. Later what I came to realize is that the strategy was driving my insane. Sometimes I would feel guilty in bed if I had done 15 pages, but not 30 pages. It should not be this case. What I should learn is to celebrate, to be my own cheerleader and be thankful for what I have achieved. This is a very important lesson in my life. Therefore, besides what I absolutely need to get done (things like work and study), I no longer put a quota on my other hobbies, such as workout, reading, playing piano and guitar. I soon picked up other venues that I enjoy to make my voice, such as my website here, which I never force myself to write any specific topic, on any specific time interval. Don’t get me wrong - I still have a rough target to post once per month for example, but this quantifiable goal no longer drives my life decision. That is to say, I do not need to get up in the middle of the night when I was exhausted and has absolutely no inspiration on the topic, just to finish some goals set by myself.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Life Updates and Power of Habits - Change gear to another topic, we are fully vaccinated! I guess this is the silver lining that came out of the later-than-expected work permit, that the time was just enough for Tennessee to open up vaccination for all, and we were just lucky to get the second shot on the day of driving to Canada. We got Pfizer shots, and the second shot - let me tell you - has really weighed me down the second day. Perhaps I need to be more specific on the situation. After two days of packing and loading, from 5AM to 10PM on the first day and 5AM to 7PM the second, we got the second shot early morning on the third day and started driving for 15 hours straight - until we reached the river spring lodge, a very beautiful country inn in Attica, New York, which is only an hour away to the border. I started to have acute back pain, like I always do after 8+ hours drive, and a little dizziness close to midnight. The second morning was really when the pain kicked in - literally all muscles in my body, from legs to shoulders. I was feeling heavy-headed, not really dizzy but definitely was not clear. Lars got me to have some breakfast and then I went back to bed and slept like a baby until mid day, waking up with sweats and much clearer head. By the way, I took Tylenol 1 pill around every 5-6 hours, which is definitely a must when the pain started. In the afternoon, we got some walks around the beautiful spring in the property, with Burger King (really it was the only thing that is within 10km that was not looking dubious), and sat down on the patio to enjoy some fresh breezes. The pain hit one last time around dinner time, but bubble bathtub with spring water for sure made the night much more enjoyable. I was totally fine the day after, and we headed straight to cross the border! Lars did not really experience side-effects, which I think it is interesting, because he worked much harder than me and drove much more miles. I guess it depends on person. Still super happy to be fully vaccinated, and I encourage all to get the jab if you can, and plan for a relaxing second day!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Mind your own business - Making money can be easy, once you are feet on the ground and hands in the dirt; making money can be extremely tough, if you naively believe it is just an easy gig. Get understanding by education, practices, and networking, be inspired, and work for bulking up your assets. Understand your risk tolerance, the market mechanisms, and invest to your benefits. Treat yourself as a business entity, and be your own boss.</image:title>
