A Cheerful Little Message

A friend forwarded me a message to cheer me up. It's good to learn Mandarin, so I decided to learn a few new words.

小天使是幸福的邮差，
他能替我把幸福送给我珍惜的朋友，
你也许听不见也许看不见，
但愿你能感受得到，
我那真诚的祝福~
希望你快乐每一天！

Here's a breakdown of the words.

The Next Station

Recently I received an SMS.

生命就如地下铁，下一站是起点还是终点？这全靠自己去寻找生命中的每一站！活的精彩，快了，没有遗憾！希望在你生命中的每一站永远都是最完美的！

What this means...

Life as the Mass Transit Railway, the next stop is the starting point or destination? This depends entirely on their own to find every station in life! Live brilliant, fast, no regrets! You hope every station in life is always the most perfect!

Thanks to Google Translate.

Translating Chinese SMS to English

Here's a service that I hoped I could get here in Malaysia. I even mooted this idea to my close friends but of course, I got the response that it would need quite a bit of investment! Well, maybe in another lifetime. But, when I searched the net, I was surprised to find that M1 in Singapore already had this service.

I'm wondering if there are any similar services in Malaysia?

I also found a subscription based service (coupled with a J2ME application) called Transclick.

Interestingly enough, here is a shareware program for bulk sending of SMS from your PC. It should be an offence in due course, of course, because its nature will be akin to spam. But for the curious amongst us, here is the link.
