荷兰咯 我热烈地！
I’m bilingual. Sometimes, I switched my Windows input language to Chinese when I was sending out emails in Chinese, and often so I forgot to switch it back to English before I typed some URLs in my browser to visit another site, and that, resulting funny string of Chinese text in my browser’s address bar. So I started to try that with the sites I visit regularly and here’s what I got:
- 的按咯和。com (deanloh.com)
- 爬泳爬犁。com (paypal.com)
- 米索尼。com (msn.com)
- 购买力。com (gmail.com)
- 阿批评了。com (apple.com)
- 好评。com (hp.com)
- 我让大批热诉讼。org (wordpress.org)
- 法测波噢可。com (facebook.com)
- 发日恩打算特任。com (friendster.com)
- 费力存款人。com (flickr.com)
- 不咯个个人。com (blogger.com)
- 恶霸一。com (ebay.com)
- 没意思怕册。com (myspace.com)
- 地改革。com (digg.com)
- 饿死叛逆。com (espn.com)
- 才呢他。com （cnet.com)
- 恩嘎多个体。com (engadget.com)
- 辣酸甜。父母 (last.fm)
Last but not least… anyone wants to make a guess what will cnn.com get you?
Answer: “才能年。com” (and I wonder what did you guess it was…)
Oh by the way, the title above, is actually “Hello World” :)

Hi Dean,
Sorry that I can’t make it to the last Web design Meetup. We will all miss you eventhough it is just a short introduction to each other. Good luck to your new career endeavour! Until we meet again, have a safe journey. Hope to hear more on your new job :)
Dean 12:08 pm on September 10, 2007 Permalink
Hey Felix, thanks for the well wishes. Just to clarify that I’m not getting a new job in China, I’ll still be running my web design business, except that I’ll be doing that from China ;)
But do expect to see lots of stories on China in my blog!

Dean,
This very short time we’ve had feels like much more . . . I can only imagine what it would be like if we had more.
You’ll be remembered.
BTW, remember to claim your money . . . I’ll show you the money.

Dear Dean,
Sure gonna miss you and your jokes (seriously speaking :p) You’ve been so busy that it’s almost impossible to sit you down. I’m certain that wherever you are, you would be a great joy!
May the Lord’s favour be ever upon you and God Bless!

Make sure you have a webcam so that you can show us your room and life in China, maybe stream your life in wuhan and we can really keep in touch, its just a download away hor. The world isn’t so big after all.

Hi Dean,
I think its fair to say that you would be a great role model for alot of people out there including me :)
Wish you all the best in ur next adventure as you would like to call it.
And i’ll always cherish the advice that you have handed out to me over the years.
Cheers,

Dude, never really had the chance to sit down for a nice cuppa with you. When we meet, we always talk business. I feel really guilty. If I’m ever in Wuhan, I’ll definitely drop by. Bon voyage!

Dear Dean
Its sad to see a good friend leave but if its for good intentions, you have my blessings in good health and well wishes.
Its been a short time getting to know you but its been a very experiencing journey you have lead and I thank you for sharing your life journey. I hope this journey will lead you to many successful ones after another .
Your presence has made some people along the way happiness in terms of value, monetary etc…and I do hope you keep up the good work done.
Have a safe and rewarding life in Wuhan, China and may you live a rewarding life there.
God Bless you and your new Journey in Life in China.
Take care in health…..
