Ellen Ning Zhao’s musing between sense and sensibility

I ain’t really an opera fan and never really liked techno before. I’m used to academically emotional voices in operas and listen to it often in live concerts because many years back, for a while, practicing “mi mi mi ma ma ma…” following my opera-singing vocal teachers was my homework. I do love some pieces [...]

I watched Hayao Miyazaki’s film Princess Mononoke on DVD when at home this summer. It’s one of the toughest films I’ve seen. In term of its toughness I don’t really mean the remarkable amount of bloody violence or scaring faces of the demons in the film, but the theme of this film is kind of [...]

development platform preparation
If you haven’t had any Eclipse platform installed or you don’t mind clean-installing a new one, the easiest way to get the whole platform ready is to download Eclipse + WTP bundle from here:

Yesterday evening there was a big party in my college, the motto was “Rock the Amadeus”. My colleague Mr. Torsten Kockler couldn’t go there for some reason so I got his ticket. The weather was pretty warm yesterday, I knew even if I stayed at home, I couldn’t sleep at all because of the crazy [...]

Like many others, I’m a big fan of Hayao Miyazaki. His films are awesome by many means of standards. His films are terrific proofs of that high tech isn’t the most important thing in a film making, they touch people’s heart, sometimes very deeply.
Tonight I watched a wonderful Hayao Miyazaki film Hawl’s moving castle. It’s [...]

1.
Oh intoxicating!
Luteous, lurid, crimson and magenta glows
Weaving at the cerulean horizon
I mistook dusk for dawn
2.
Firework in daylight
As splendid as it is in night
As quiet as ashes in time

Any constructive debating or suggestion is welcome, I love thoughtful people. But if you just want to scold or [...]

Today afternoon in the CA-Technique lecture, our beautiful professor Ms Monz-Lüdecke asked us to design a product in group, and then make the production’s planning and finally marketing strategy. Dominik, Sascha and me designed a ballpoint with LED lights which can light a small area on paper when writing in dark and made a detailed [...]

Today has been an exceptional good day for me. The weather was so good that I feel like living in Hermann Hesse’s essays on April and countryside. I read much on JSF alone in my office in the morning. In the afternoon there was a long debug session together with my project partener Matthias Kahlau [...]
Yesterday evening I went to Saarbücken for a concert. The state orchestra played Gustav Mahler in the congress hall.
The first half was Mahler’s 1st symphony. The soprano Ms Patricia Rozario sung in Spanish, I didn’t understand the lyrics. But there were tears on Ms Rozario’s face, and some extremely high pitchs suggested unusual desperation. The [...]
