Pain of codes (from Java to C++)

I never thot that cleaning up the codes is so painful. I'm supposed to repackage a piece of code, making to more presentable. But it brought me pain. I never thought that Java could make harm to C++ coding... I often see code segments like...
  (object) obj = new object(param1,param2,param3);
  (object *) objectArrary =
    new (object *)[someSize];
  if (objectArray == NULL) {
    cout << "ERROR" << endl;
    exit(1);
  }
  :
  :
  :
  delete obj;
  delete [] objectArray;

while the code can be written nicely as...
  object obj (param1,param2,param3);
  (object *) objectArrary[someSize];

I often see variable names like... noOfBindingSites, motifLength.... which I renamed it to num_binding_sites, motif_len... more C++ friendly.

I'm still trying to clear up all this "style of writing C++" to somthing I feel more comforatable... But I'll need to break up a function of 400++ lines into different functions (methods) that are described in a paper by 6 different EM functions. That's the most painful part. Then when I asked why lump all into one? The answer is (justifiable), "because putting into different methods make it *slow*,....", how slow? .... Then I stop asking, I'll do it *MY WAY*.

how about renaming this blog?

These few days, there's always something that I wanted to post. But whenever I come to my PC, I always forget what is it... until now I can't recall...

Anyway, postgaruda is coming to two years. How about renaming it to something else but better reflects what I'm doing? I dun have many ideas, I can only think of:

1. postmaster?
2. postsingapore
3. post***, where *** is something that I encounter during the PM and BLOW's visit to HK?

Well, any more suggestions? I'm still trying to recall... what is the thing I wanted to post...

Am I a Gangster?

Tonight, I went back home about 9pm plus... as usual, I walked to MTR station. Just when I was about 5 min to the station, I had to walked past a dark street, with only a few passagers. I got stopped by 2 guys, they even talked to me and ask my identify card! Oh no! two policemen asked for my identify card!!! So who am I? Who did they think I am? Do I look like a gangster? or a mainland chinese?

so, who am I????

"The End Of The World" song lyric

Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
’Cause you don’t love me any more

Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything’s the same as it was
I can’t understand’ no’ I can’t understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

What am I doing?

My mind is now in a state of "inactive". The issue of future employment has been something on my mind lately. Haven't trying to create some resume, cover letters... havenn't sent out one so far. I did it just for the participation, making myself clear that "Oh, I still can look for a job! I still can work!". But the purpose, degree of urgency for job seeking are not as strong as before though.
