You kidding me?

Chinese (Simplified)
花间一壶酒，独酌无相亲
举杯邀明月，对影成三人
月既不解饮，影徒随我身
暂伴月将影，行乐须及春
我歌月徘徊，我舞影零乱
醒时同交欢，醉后各分散
永结无情游，相期邈云汉

Chinese (Traditional)
子曰：「學而時習之，不亦說乎？有朋自遠方來，不亦樂乎？
人不知而不慍，不亦君子乎？」
有子曰：「其為人也孝弟，而好犯上者，鮮矣；
不好犯上，而好作亂者，未之有也。君子務本，本立而道生。
孝弟也者，其為仁之本與！」

Russian
По оживлённым берегам
Громады стройные теснятся
Дворцов и башен; корабли
Толпой со всех концов земли
К богатым пристаням стремятся;

Ancient Greek
Ἰοὺ ἰού· τὰ πάντʼ ἂν ἐξήκοι σαφῆ.
Ὦ φῶς, τελευταῖόν σε προσϐλέψαιμι νῦν,
ὅστις πέφασμαι φύς τʼ ἀφʼ ὧν οὐ χρῆν, ξὺν οἷς τʼ
οὐ χρῆν ὁμιλῶν, οὕς τέ μʼ οὐκ ἔδει κτανών.

Sanskrit (should be right-aligned)
पशुपतिरपि तान्यहानि कृच्छ्राद्
अगमयदद्रिसुतासमागमोत्कः ।
कमपरमवशं न विप्रकुर्युर्
विभुमपि तं यदमी स्पृशन्ति भावाः ॥

ஸ்றீனிவாஸ ராமானுஜன் ஐயங்கார

Czech
Dejte mi libru kávy Java, dvě libry Rio, šest liber kouskového cukru a paklíček cikorie.

Korean
비겁한 사람은 죽기 전에도 여러번 죽는다.
그러나 용감한 사람은 한번 밖에 죽지 않는다.

ps: The font works fine in my Opera 8.50 browser. Firefox 1.0.7 is rendering the text a bit smaller making some of the characters look weird. Internet Explorer 6 is displaying bigger text size, but the Ancient Greek part is partially gibberish. In other words, Opera still rules ! ^^

Don't be surprised with all those chinese characters appearing all over the main page. I'm just performing a test to see how well my template engine can handle with multibyte characters.

The main content/layout will still be in Engish (well, technically speaking, ASCII). I'll probably use some chinese in some of the blog entries if needed.

The MySQL database dump seems to be working fine. However, in server-side, I haven't tried to restore the data from the dump file yet. I'll try it later or tonight since I have something else to do right now =)

FIFA World Cup Germany 2006 is here! Personally Im not crazy about this but gotna "give face" to those socceroos since it's only happening once in 4 years.

Anway, I fell asleep half way watching the World Cup match between Germeny and Costa Rica this morning. Maybe a wide screen plasma TV can keep me this-not-a-big-time-soccer-fan awake for whole night but I'm pretty sure a 21" TV will not !! hehe...
