既然没有Mood都书，就update blog吧。
昨天本来要去USJ买鞋，但去不成，去了Kepong吃我的Brunch(2pm的时候XD)。
经过这间Bel Pasto时，看到挂着banner写有Set Lunch。其实以前在Aman Puri的原店就一直想试了，但是都没试到。
里面的摆设很欧陆，冷气也够冷（最近天气特别热）
好了，食物上桌了。首先是蘑菇汤：
料给得很足，可惜汤底不是正宗的，应该是用cream的。。
然后是Potato汤，很香的。。。
Spaghetti Vongole，辣辣的，然后给很多拉拉:
Pizza Margarita:
很多人推荐的Tiramisu:
============================================================
爸爸在澳门丢失了相机DSC-T100，所以前天又去买了新的 – DSC-T900。
今天去lowyat买电脑后，走去pavillion，结果看到两辆F360 park在Pavillion大门口，又不像是Ferrari Road Show。
很多人都在拍照。。包括我
本来只有两辆。。但是几个小时后。。。
总共5辆，过后来的全部都是开棚的(Spider)，包括一辆霹雳车牌的F430 Spider。
这个时候更多人来拍照了，外国人也在拍。。。

On Friday, authorities in Malaysia announced that excavations conducted in the northern part of the country yielded some interesting finds, in that researchers discovered iron smelt dating back to as far as the third or fourth century AD. This has major implications on the way historians viewed the evolution of civilization on these lands, because it means that people living here were more technologically advanced than scholars first estimated. The team conducting the digs even found parts of a furnace, which was most likely used to melt the iron ore.
Center for Archaeological Research Malaysia director Mokhtar Saidin said that the northern Kedah state, where the discovery was made, was in the past home to the Bujang Valley people, an ancient population that lived in what is now Malaysia. Saidin, who is also the archaeologist in charge of the excavations, added that some pieces of a furnace and remnants of what appears to be a storage area of some kind were found at the Kedah site, and that these artifacts held great value to the history of the country.
After discovering the pieces, Saidin had them shipped to a Florida testing facility, where carbon testing revealed that the samples were at least 1,700 years old, give or take 40. “This result (…) really shows that the Bujang Valley people during that time were very high-tech,” he said after the announcement. The scientist added that the team also recovered numerous beads of iron, copper bracelets, as well as some amounts of pottery. In addition, an air nozzle, most likely used to keep the fire going at high enough temperatures, was also found near the ruins of the furnace.
In fact, he admitted, researchers at this point have no idea if the Bujang Valley people were organized in a civilization, in all the meanings the word implies. “It’s too early to say it is a civilization,” said National Research Center of Archaeology researcher Harry Truman Simanjuntak, from Jakarta. But Saidin argues that the existence of Buddhist and Hindu temples, which were unearthed at other similar locations, proves beyond a doubt the idea of social hierarchy.

Yet another similar idea to our FYP. This time is a research project called GeoLife, which just released a version 2 from Microsoft Research Asia.
GeoLife is a more complete compare to Google Latitude. Basically it track and save the places you had been, geo-tagging photo, search for new friend nearby, etc…
Here is an introductory which I extracted from a China’s web site:
旅行者想要的“地图人生”
如果你在第一次参观北京后，把这天的照片在地图按行程的顺序一一呈现，那该是多么让人兴奋的事情。俗话说，一张图片胜过千言万语，何况一组照片能按地图排列并被轻易检索？同时，对于旅游部门来说，通过对成千上万个旅行者的照片按地图进行比照，他们可以知道并在地图上标明哪里是热门景点，哪里需要增加帮助外国人的双语标识，哪里对于旅行者来说特别容易走错等等。
这样的照片位置追踪并不是你现在就可以在北京做到的，除非你认识郑宇或者他在北京的同事。这个名叫GeoLife（地图人生）的发明正是微软亚洲研究院3月5日在美国总部雷蒙德向世界展示的45件发明之一。
GeoLife是一种以GPS数据为中心并基于电子地图的应用系统。用户可以将GPS或照片内容导入到系统中，自动生成一个按照时间和地点分析的图示，以描述你在过去一段时间内的活动，并可增加社交概念同好友进行分享。
GeoLife的创意来自微软剑桥研究院的可穿在衣服上的便携式摄像头的成果，并包含在微软名叫My Life Bits（数字化生活）的长期科研项目中。但是郑宇的创新在于，使用一个具有定位功能的普通手机或者普遍被使用的全球定位系统来实现地理地图的成果。关于手机的应用，郑宇研究员表示，通过提供一种基于时间和（或）空间的搜索方式，GeoLife可以帮助用户快速找到特定区域和（或）时间段的轨迹。该搜索特性不但有助于用户从他人的数据中高效发掘出自己感兴趣的经历，也有利于个人从自己模糊的记忆中快速激发想要回忆的事件。比如，用户可通过空间搜索功能查看他人在颐和园区域内拍摄的照片和视频，从而为自己日后的行程安排积累丰富的经验。此外，基于时间段的查询方式，用户也可发掘他人在圣诞节期间的有趣经历。
在去年，微软亚洲研究院还开发了用街景照片搜索地图的系统。通过该系统，计算机可以将用户提交的照片与数据库中数以百万计的街景照片进行匹配，从而找出照片的拍摄地点。为了提高查询速度，微软还开发了一个高效的分布式高维数据索引。在这个索引中，每次查询都能在几秒钟内完成。这个系统同时支持PC和移动设备。
总之，通过搜索地图，用户可以反思自己的过去并规划自己的未来。
昨天，Google发布了新的服务，叫做Latitude，让你可以看见你contact list里的朋友身在何处。Google Latitude 支持Symbian S60、黑莓（blackberry）、Windows Mobile、iPhone和Android手机。所以基本上涵盖了所有smartphone。
到http://google.com/latitude下载最新的google map到手机里。
记得add我：yaofong@gmail.com
接下来，下面就是我的FYP（Final Year Project）：
以上画面是去年11月完成的。我们的concept和设计竟然和Google一样。
有用Google Latitude的朋友，可以直接告诉我用后感，可以帮助到我的FYP。
