    Can't you imagine playing against the same opponent in competitions for 36 times? http://mothership.sg/2016/08/frienem...inton-rivalry/

    I don't remember a lot of past members, but I remember I didn't like that guy Candide.

    It is the only song I listen from Jay Chou. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6DmaLvj4Hw It's good because there are English substitutes. I think the song depicts his love for his mother. At times, I wonder what's if their "conspiracy" succeed? Will the father be deposed? Or mother and son just want to leave the palace?

    Try too. When you get older, you tend to take better care of health.

    Good for you. My lifestyle is not bad but I should live a healthier life too. Being healthy is by far the most important thing in life, far more important than all the wealth you can have in the world.

    My sister and bro-in-law have stayed in Canada for more than 30 years. Life to them is not stressful.

    Strangely, after sleeping well for some time, I have not slept well in the last 2 days, averaging 5-6 hours. Simply can't fall asleep. Weather is hot and getting hazy.

    Canada is great, among the best in the world. However, I would like to argue that living in the US is better financially. Other than tuition fees and health care, US has much lower taxes and cost of pretty much everything is cheaper. Cost of housing is a lot cheaper than here while US has higher GDP per capita. Overall, I think US is the best in the world financially.

    It's not the case with iPhone 7 is not great. It's a great cell phone. However, people can live with the older iPhone. My iPhone 5S is still working and does everything that I need (mainly call and text), why would I want to spend the money to buy something that I don't need, something that does not make my life any better. Money is far more important than the new iPhone that I don't need. I was surprised that APPLE did not announce anything about MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. To me they are more important than iPhone.

    Stomach churning and a bit uncomfortable. Another sign of old age = health issues occur every now and then.

    I guess they are putting more effort into iPhone to compete with Samsung Galaxy S7 (I think that's the newest edition so far).
