MY WAY
我的方式
(Written by Revaux/Francois/Anka)
And now, the end is near
而今,終站已近
And so I face the final curtain
於是我面對了最後的一幕
My friend, I'll say it clear
朋友,讓我清楚的說
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
我要明確的替自己下個註腳
I've lived a life that's full
我活了充實的一生
I've traveled each and every highway
我走過了每一條大道
But more, much more than this
但更重要,更重要的是
I did it my way
我一切都照自己的方式來做
Regrets, I've had a few
懊悔,我也曾有過一些
But then again, too few to mention
不 過說來值得一提的也實在不多
I did what I had to do
我只是做我應該做的
And saw it through without exemption
我順其自然,不求倖免
I planned each charted course
我 計畫好每一次行程
Each careful step along the byway
謹慎的跨出偏離主線的每一步
But more, much more than this
但更重要,更重要的是
I did it my way
我一切都照自己的方式 來做
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
不錯,是曾經有那麼幾次,我相信你也知 道
When I bit off more than I could chew
當我太過貪婪,咬下了我嚼不動的份量
But through it all, when there was doubt
但在那一切過程之中,當我有所疑慮
I ate it up and spit it out
我依然打落牙和血吞
I faced it all and I stood tall
我面對了一 切,我從不屈服
And did it my way
一切按照自己的方式來做
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
我曾愛過,也曾笑過、哭過
I've had my fill; my share of losing
我曾志得意滿,也曾嘗過失敗
And now, as tears subside
如今,當淚痕已乾
I find it all so amusing
我發現一切其實相當有趣
To think I did all that
想想看, 我竟然做了那一切
And may I say - not in a shy way
請容我大言不慚的說
"Oh no, oh no, not me
「不一樣,我可不一樣
I did it my way"
我一切都照自己的方式來做」
For what is a man, what has he got
因為,什麼叫做男子漢,他擁有些什麼
If not himself, then he has naught
如果不能擁有他的自我,他還有些什麼
To say the things he truly feels
大聲的說出他真正的感受
And not the words of one who kneels
而不是卑躬諂媚的言 語
The record shows I took the blows
記錄顯示,我承當了一切的打擊
And did it my way
而且一切都照自己的方式來做
Yes, it was my way
是的,那就是我的方式

Installing Age Of Empire III
There was one day when my friend lend me a Chinese-traditional version of Age Of Empire III and then when I tried install it, it give me this error message "1628 failed to complete installation" right after click the "Install" button.
Tried search on the net and found from Microsoft help page titled "Microsoft Games: InstallShield Error Messages"
However, none of the method worked. Then I tried to find possible solution at www.baidu.com
Solution
The problem was that the setting on "Regional and Language option" -> "Language for non-Unicode program" was on chinese(PRC)
Method 1
Use "Microsoft AppLocale" on the autorun.exe using Chinese-Traditional
Method 2
Change from control panel "Regional and Language option" -> "Language for non-Unicode program" to Chinese(PRC) and restart. Then start install again
Computer OS
Windows xp sp3 Chinese simplified version

Cutting out Images in Paint.NET
Below is the tutorial
---------------------------------
This tutorial will guide you through the process of cutting out parts of photos and other images for use separately. If your final image has a transparent background after completing this tutorial (i.e. you have no plans to add a background) then you should save it as a PNG or GIF (preferably PNG) - for more information see Myrddin's FileType tutorial.
1. Find your image - i'll be using this stock photo.
2. On a new layer with a relatively thin width, (depending on the size of your image) cover the perimeter of the part of the image you wish to cut out with the brush and line tools being careful to leave no gaps.
3. Now select the magic wand tool (any tolerance below 60% should work fine) and click inside the outline.
4. Now hold down Ctrl + I to invert the selection, and then select the background layer.
5. Now press the "delete" key and remove the layer you use to draw the outline, then crop the image to the part you have cut-out.
7. Use the feather plugin to make the edges less aliased.
------------------------------------------------
Base on the invert selection we can select rest of the whole picture. Now just change the modification to the Background layer then delete the selected part
