Orange Days

Mavis 來的時候帶這個日劇來，因為裡面有他愛的妻夫木聰，還有我當時覺得我好像喜歡的柴崎幸。

上個週末，花了一天就把他看完了，個人還蠻愛的，replaced 我原本喜歡的 good luck 。

重點是，看完以後，我想我確定真的蠻喜歡柴崎幸的。我以前看完  Good Luck  覺得我喜歡的是他在  Good Luck 裡面的 Character 。不過現在我覺得我應該是蠻喜歡他的，雖然他在  Orange Days 裡面的個性也是類似。妙的，對我來說，他長得並沒有漂亮的，可是就那種有點男孩子氣，可是有可以很小女人的個性，很可愛。

藉口篇 （二）

I have to say... keeping up writing  really is not that easy ah.... 真的很佩服 恩慈小姐。不間斷的 blogging 從高中那幾乎一天兩天一封的一妹而就開始到現在大學都畢業了呢。  

真的實在沒有太多時間可以寫阿，現在雖然工作做並沒有特別的忙碌，可是每天也從早到晚就這樣過了。

早上七點到八點鐘間會起床，跟愛人 skype 傳情，九點到十點之間洗澡準備出門。十點半到十一點之間到公司。開始假裝在上班，然後期待五點半到六點之間，愛人會在他上班的途中電話傳情。掛了電話後，就差不多該是時候吃晚餐了，六點半到八點之間，是吃飯時間。八點以後，可能回公司做點事情，或是回家彈彈琴之類的。接下來就是期待十點鐘，愛人吃完午飯的傳情時間，半個小時。在愛人十點半要去開會以後，就是我上網東看看，西看看時間，還有我們  facebook 網戀   activity。留個言通常會需要二十分鐘到三十分鐘左右。就這樣，就差不多是十二點了。為隔天，可以再七點左右起的來，且可以清醒到一個程度，上床睡個覺是必要的。

其實還有東西是可以寫寫記錄記錄的。像剛剛看到秋葉原殺人事件就令人挺難過的。跟愛人之間不少甜甜蜜蜜的事情，也應該像壽司一樣記錄下來，可是我們的製造量，遠大於可以記錄下來的消化量。每天也總是會發生些有趣的事情，例如在  campus 上突然發現有個很眼熟的背影，確是我在讀書時曾經一起做過 project 的一個怪咖數學博士。這幾月來，我們三個友人間友情的起伏，也是可以記錄的事，可是真的要找個一個小時坐下來好好的把這些事情寫下來實在是不容易。一方面，現在有個人可讓我每天分享這些事情，口述實比撰寫要來的 efficient 很多，二來，我們之間在 Facebook 上的日記，已經讓我完成每天該做的寫作練習。週末難得悠閒，實在不想再浪費太多時間坐在電腦面前，到  mall 裡走走逛逛，就算沒有要買什麼，就算愛人不在身邊，晒晒太陽，也是比盯著電腦螢幕來的享受許多。

總而言之，除了相壽司一樣，blog 有錢拿以外，很佩服恩慈這樣有恆心的記錄著自己的生活。

對了說到這裡，我實在不太懂那些  blog about technology 的人們。很多人都會在 blog  上分享對一些  technology 的想法，愛與恨等等的。我實在很難理解這樣的意義在哪裡耶。除了花了時間以外，得到了些什麼呢？讀者的回響媽？還不如把寫這些 entry 的時間跟家人一起分享呢？如果沒家人的，去泡ㄇㄟ吧？？

我很好，很幸福

已經很久沒有寫了，老實說我真的很佩服真的能夠很 keep up writing blog 的人，在日益變遷，忙碌的生活上，還能夠繼續在 blog 上面記錄著自己的生活的，真的不是很容易的事情。恩慈 我在說你。

當然，我沒有寫，應該很容易知道是為什麼，生活上又有了重大的轉變。但其實，轉變歸轉變，這麼久沒有寫，仍是稍顯誇張了點，在怎麼樣，應該還是可以在這幾個月的時間裡，湊出個十五二十分鐘吧。沒有寫，當然除了時間的 constrain ，感覺上，還有一些比較淺意識理的因素。

今天，就是我打破這些想法，很大大方方的告訴全世界的人，我很好，我很幸福的時候。 :)

真的很幸福。扎扎實實的有感覺到幸福的感覺！

真的沒有想過，怎麼會有這樣的事情的會發生。我知道，我知道，聽起來很狗腿，聽起來很 cliche ，可是隨便你怎麼說，事實，就是事實。真的，從來沒有想過，會有這樣的事情會發生，更沒有想過，發生後，會這樣的發展。

她 （為了我們的一個神祕偉大計畫，暫時不能在這裡寫她的名字），真的很好，好到一個不可思議的境界。我不是沒有教過女朋友的，認識我的人，應該更知道，我是個理性的人，不是會被愛情沖昏頭的人的。她真的很好。說她完美，或許誇張，可是真是有這樣的感覺。終於，有一次，在我完全在愛的同時，也可以深深深深的體會感受到被愛。也因為我以前教過幾個女朋友，我現在有資格說，我第一次有像夾頭髮的蝴蝶夾衣樣，彈一下，超快的，就超剛好的 fit 在一起。我們感情發展的迅速，是我們自己都措手不及的，我們自己都覺得在超速，可是我們沒有一點 push， 沒有一點刻意，一切都發展的如此自然。想都沒想過，當我們自己在納悶，在疑問，是不是被愛情沖昏了頭，不理性了，身旁的人們，反倒更走在我們 relationship 之前，驚到我們。我們反倒是需要花一些 effort ，拉住身旁的人說，別衝過了頭。

我心中有好多好多的感恩，因為我真的覺得自己好幸福，更是幸運，能夠跟她在一起，有這段緣份。

我愛你！

一個月後的 post

轉眼間，上一次 post 已經是一個多月以前的事情了～現在回想起來，似乎很多次有這樣長久的時間沒有ｐｏｓｔ都是在生活上面有了一些改變。

先放著這次的改變不說吧。

從那次一直到今天為止，我幾乎每個ｗｅｅｋｅｎ都在忙。那個星期以後的兩個星期，偉玲就來找我了，他來了兩個星期左右，我們跟 yi lun去了LA看周董～然後其他在 seattle 的時間，每天都有地方跑。雖然 seattle 能去的地方不多，不過我們都是屬於散步狀態，所以就每天去一點點地方。不過這兩個星期，我開車的公里數，應該可以繞台灣一週了吧～

偉玲走了以後，隔個一個星期，我打電話給媽媽，他說他們十六號的飛機，我說，喔ｏｋ，二月十六號，他說，喔，不是，是一月十六號！！ I was like.. HUN?? 下個星期！！？？整個嚇到～～所以，一晃眼，爸媽現在已經在這裡了～～

這個星期呢，應該是我來 MS 的兩週年紀念日～ 時間過的很快喔～～ 我已經在這裡兩年了～～

兩年後呢，我昨天也去一個 interview 。我的老闆上個星期一換 team ，我想要跟著他去，所以他昨天幫我安排了三個 interview 星期一還有一個，星期二要跟他的老闆見面，然後應該又可以知道我可不可換 team 了。 希望一切順利～

至於這次的改變，可能又要在吊個胃口了 不是我不想寫，實在沒有太多時間，眼尖的，應該都可以看出個端倪了吧～

下回分曉

沒什麼是好寫的

恩慈小姐一直跟我說我應該要 update 我的生活，可是我最近的生活實在是沒有什麼好 update 的。基本上就每天上下班，然後一個星期還沒開始，星期五就到了，呵呵。沒有做什麼特別的事，沒有去什麼特別的地方，更沒有錢買新玩具，呵呵，所以還蠻無趣的。

再過一個多星期，王小姐就要來了，還挺興奮的，好久不見的老友，其實重點是，他來就代表我的假期也來了，呵呵。不過在他來以前，有個 project 要 due 所以有點悶。

不過最近遇到了一個非常有趣搞笑的"網友"，周末會替我解悶，感恩啦~~

iPod Fat Nano

這是 Henna 跟 Ginny 送我的生日禮物，她們還想辦法要問出來我舊的 Nano 是不是被偷了，答案是“是的“。

謝謝你們。

Canon SD1000

前幾個星期的一個週末早晨，起床後上上網，看到有個 Canon SD 1000 再特價，比原價少了好像五十元以上，就整個特價，就整個心動。然後就不知不覺朦朧下，不自覺就敗下去了，敗完以後整個心虛，然後一直問一倫，我是不是應該要去把她退掉。

我是有相機的，且那個相機還好好的，唯一個問題就是她有一點老，其實也沒多老就在念研究所的時候而已，可是偏偏就在這幾年間，突然間，大家都變成超大螢幕，然後大家都在笑我的相機。然後 SD1000 出來，非常的輕巧，所以就有點忍不住了。

到現在還是心虛。

玩 PS3 玩瘋了

認識我的人應該都知道，在我許多很 gay 的 characteristics 裡，其中一條是我不打電動的。上個月為了我的ｈｄｔｖ，還有 bluRay DVD，我買了 PS3 還有一個遊戲，現在整個玩上癮了。前幾個星期，每天上班就想要趕回家打電動，打到整個左手拇指現在有點痲痹，哈哈。So Addicted。不過還好，整個遊戲目前算是差不多玩玩了，應該要朝下一個遊戲前進了。

eric 打電動？？ 天塌下來了阿？哈哈

終於拿到綠卡了

今天在信箱，拿到綠卡了。

mm... 拿到的時候有點不敢相信，看了又看，到底是不是真的綠卡。

mm... 不知道為什麼沒有特別的興奮，或心情。可能離我回台灣，還是有一點距離吧。

五年，五年可以有好多的變遷。

anyway... keep counting my days...

:)

初戀情人

前幾個星期，小的小時候的初戀情人在 facebook 上找到我，我們大概十年沒有連絡了吧，很多話聊。每次跟老朋友聊天，都會解開許多多年的疑惑，也會得到一些從來都不知道的秘辛，這次也不例外。

So very interesting... :)

Birthday 2007

雖然已經過了將近一個月了，不過我還是要記錄一下。

生日前的那個星期五， Diana 約了要去他家吃火鍋，我就想，應該有些什麼的，果然沒錯，吃完飯，燈關起來，蛋糕端了出來，大家 ( diana, diana's mom, yi lun, henna, and ginny ) 給我唱歌過生日。就像 Diana 說得，跟去年一模一樣的橋斷。:D 我的生日是最頭痛的，因為是最後一個，能做的都已經在 Diana 跟 yi lun 的生日先做完了。不過 每次我的蛋糕都是最贊的，去年是 Cheesecake Factory Godiva Cheesecake 超贊，今年也是超贊！ Hagan Daz 的蛋糕。 真是超好吃。yi lun 為了這個蛋糕，兩點才來上班。呵呵 henna 跟 ginny 送我 ipod fatty。 thanks lah~

生日那天，我的 team 剛好有活動，去打保齡球。其實我本來是不想去的，原本是想請個一天假的，不過我也想可能 team 會剛好幫我過個小生日（我們 team 最近常做這種事），所以不想要搞壞大家的計畫，我還是去了。果然不出我所料，是有個蛋糕在等著我，沒想到的是， Diana Yi-Lun 竟然也突然出現，出現就算了，更令人驚訝的是 Joy 跟 CJ 以來了。 CJ 會來也就算了，Joy 怎麼會來呢？？真是太令人驚訝了。你想這樣的驚訝就夠了？他們還給我請了一個 Acappella 來唱生日快樂歌。就這樣，一群人在保齡球場盯著這四個人唱了兩三分鐘的歌給我聽。夠尷尬。

晚上當然要跟 Diana 還有 yi lun 吃個飯啦。在 Ruth's Chris, didn't guess it at all. Very nice choice, and very nice food!

結束了媽？ 還沒～～高潮才要了

雖然說今天是 Grey's Anatomy , but they still decided to take me to a bar. I actually have wanted to go drink for a long time, but it's not that easy, cuz you'll need someone to drive. So they took me to this place ( Trillian ? ) in seattle, where they got pool as well. 有他們兩個做靠山，我今天就來者不拒，理所當然的一杯接著一杯，邊喝，我 pool 還贏了兩場，呵呵。他們都說我以後應該要一邊喝一邊工作會更有效率。七個 shot 後 去上個廁所，我就知道，是時候該走了。已經有要站不住了，一屁股坐在地上，還引來店家的關心，基本上是要趕我出去了。我自己走出了店，自己上了 Diana 的車。接下來就整個恍惚了，隱隱約約都聽的到他們兩個講話，可是從上車到到家，感覺上好像只花了五分鐘，我生命中的這二十分鐘就是莫名其妙的消失了。不過，到家了我是知道的，自己開了車門，就“滾" 出車子，已經快吐了，滾出車外後，就在家外的柏油路上躺了一陣，等一倫開門，他該了們以後，我就爬進去，然後爬著往一樓的廁所衝， PAHN 一聲，摔進一樓的廁所，準備要吐。結果沒有。然後又自己爬出來，然後 SOMEHOW ( i really don't know how) 自己又爬到三樓，然後又 PAHN 摔進廁所，終於，吐出來了。吐完 yi lun 就放心了，呵呵，後我就讓他們回家了。

他們走了以後，我自己拖了衣服，自己上了床，"開了電視"，然後就昏迷過去了，呵呵。大概一兩點的時候，就隱隱約約聽到電視聲，然後就醒了，起來上了個廁所，就開始看電視。其實這個時候已經醒了，不過還是蠻暈的。過了一兩個小時候，打算又要開始睡，結果電話響了。謝謝你打電話來，半清醒的跟你胡言亂語了好一陣子，呵呵。:p

其實我隔天還要去看醫生，到了 clinic 還有一點小暈，呵呵。

Anyway... it was a lot of fun being that drunk. Thanks a lot to you guys! 喔，膝蓋整個就是撞瘀青了，哈哈哈！！

結束了媽？？ 還沒ㄝ！
星期天，Diana 跟他媽來我家看星光大道，竟然又帶了個蛋糕來。他們竟然還跟我說，喔，還沒結束喔～～

跟去年一樣，我的生日總是過很久，照這兩位的說法，我的生日還沒過完，因為他們要給我的生日禮物，還沒有到。This is very interesting. We'll see 他們兩個葫蘆裡賣什麼藥。 :)

And Thanks to all who have called. :)

色戒

其實我應該寫的是我的生日，不過現在很晚了，我很應該要睡了，但是這篇一定要寫一寫，發洩發洩。所以暫時跳過補寫我的生日，先把這個色戒寫掉。

就差不多整整二十四小時前，剛看完色戒走出來，剛看完，好累好累，當時，就是很累很累，累到我沒有辦法想清楚怎麼會這麼累，我一直在想是要給這電影幾顆星，一直無法決定。

今天早上起床前，邊睡，不自覺的就邊想到劇情，過了好一陣子，洗了澡，上了車，要出去吃飯，才突然發現，心情其實不太好，其實很難過，因為色戒很難過。

一天下來，想著想著，就發現，原來我真的為王佳芝好難過，她的第一夜，我的心也跟著撕裂。那一幕看完，整個就是難過到了極點了。

整部片，從頭悲到尾，沒有一點喘息的空間，回想起來，難過我看完會那麼累，整個心情一直是不安，不確定感，而每一個懸疑，最後都是悲劇收場，down 的好累。

好了，現在把心情寫出來了，希望會好一點。

我想，我應該會給色戒這個這麼深的 delay effect 四點五顆星吧。

It is Saturday night, 10:58 pm, I am writing this blog with my Powerbook, sitting on my sofa in the living, while Dave Matthew & Tim Reynolds playing crazy on BluRay on my 46 inch Bravia, at the same time my Quad Core MacPro is crunching number to help the world folding protiens, after I just played almost two hours of PS3. "So Damn Lucky," I am, I quote Dave Matthew's song title. I am so damn lucky to have this moment in life to enjoy so much.

Finally a new desktop.

I have not had a desktop ever since my old baby was stolen. If it weren't stolen, it'd be 7 year old by now. Constrain on both budget and waiting on new mondel have made me wait 'til now, and after much research I have finally ordered my new desktop last week, it arrived on Monday, and I am finally back to someone who looks more like a CS dude.

One note, normally, i'd order the best one that I can get on the market, but this time everyone I talked to, forum, or reviews on line have totally convinced me that it is not worth it to get the best one. I am proud of myself for making this decision. :)

PS3 Makes me Cry and Wet my Pants

After so much long struggle and discussion with a bad friend, yi lun, I have finally surrendered my credit card to a PS3. Yi lun's supposed to get a 52" TV, but his proposal was denied by people high above. This buy or not to buy torture has been a game that I play lately with a couple of different things, including the infamous iphone. However, while I am not sure if yi lun is the devil or the angel, Diana has easily talked me out of the iPhone. Unfortunately, she didn't have a chance to participate in the PS3 story, therefore, a PS3 was finally brought home on Sunday. I can assure you this buy or not to buy game is horrible to play.

But I must say, it is so good. The game, the blueray movie, and the surround for both movies and games, and video on my TV, OMG, seriously makes me wanna cry. And just so you know, yi lu ( even though you don't read my blog ), I did not regret getting a PS3 over a combo drive, at least so far I have not. :)

iPhone

I really want an iPhone!! :( but i know I really shouldn't get one....

what's the odd of this?

This weekend was a long weekend for labor day. Sunday, Henna and I went to a lame beach, and in the eveining on the way back, we met up with her friend Lore to walk their dogs. Then we had dinner with Lore and her friend and brother. After dinner, I was going to go see shin kwang da dao, but I thought I should social a bit, so I went to bubble with them. then while we had no games to play, we chatted, then some how the topic went on about age, and we found out that Lore's brother ( from taiwan ) was born, Oct. 25 1981. And he's also blood type A.

what's the odd of meeting someone random the same birthday half way around the earth?

值得紀念的一天

今天是值得紀念的一天，我拿到人生的第一個 promotion。雖然說從我原本的ｌｅｖｅｌ升到現在的ｌｅｖｅｌ並不是太大的大事，但是他還是我的第一個promotion，還是很高興。這樣接下來的日子每個月也可以多個幾塊錢可以花(literally)。進去老闆的ｏｆｆｉｃｅ前超緊張，因為如果這次沒拿到，就又要等整整一年。真是鬆了一口氣。

我愛的人 - 陳小春 林宥嘉

林宥嘉這首歌唱的真是棒。我上班的時候，常聽。今天才想到要去看原本的ｍｖ，搞了半天是周董寫的，我也終於搞清楚了，歌詞是什麼。



我愛的人 陳小春

作曲: 周杰倫 作詞: 施人誠

我知道故事不會太曲折
我總會遇見一個什麼人
陪我過沒有了她的人生
成家立業之類的等等
她做了她覺得對的選擇
我只好祝福她真的對了
愛不到我最想要愛的人
誰能還要我怎樣呢
我愛的人 不是我的愛人
她心裡每一寸 都屬於另一個人
她真幸福 幸福得真殘忍
讓我又愛又恨 她的愛怎麼那麼深
我愛的人 她已有了愛人
從他們的眼神 說明了我不可能
每當聽見 她或他說 '我們'
就像聽見愛情 永恆的嘲笑聲

Vegas~

just came back from Las Vegas. Parents and I and Yi lun. Our team was doing some office rearrangement, so we got 2 days of fake vacation, plus the weekend. It was SO hot, but it's definitely diff. kind of hotness from TW. We als walked SO much. visited pretty much every single hotel on Las Vegas Blvd. It was a really nice trip. We also saw "O" and blueman group. Dinana suggestd O, and it was so awesome. And blueman group, kinda fullfill my wish to take my parents to see. This ones was very nice, about half of the show was new that I have not seen, so that was great. both shows are highly recommended must see!!

O... and of course... gambling... well... we played mostly the slot mcachines with 1 cent. HAHA. and we played a little bit of blackjack. yi Lun made a bit more than 300 dollars. My parents and I made about.. nothing. haha.. evened out i think.

靠岸

因為楊宗偉大哥他沸沸揚揚忘詞的那一集，知道了林宇中的靠岸，個人還蠻愛這首歌的，不過覺得林宇中唱得比較不好聽說～

就是這幾天

我搬家以後到現在，還有很多東西是放在地上的，大部分是書之類的東西。昨天隨手拾起以前的一本日記(是的，在我開始BLOG以前我是寫日記的)翻一翻，突然發現，想到，一切，就是在這幾天的日子，開始的。然後翻著翻著，瞬間回憶就像瘋狗浪一般的捲了進來。

事過境遷。已經過了好久了，雖然有些事情始終如一，但也有很多事情有了很多的改變。這個突然來的回憶，其實心情很複雜，不知道應該是要如何感覺。

現在想著想著，感覺還是甜的，這一段真是最好的回憶。

要怎麼樣，才會一直擁有呢? 一定只能珍惜曾經嗎?

Walgreen

Yi-Lun has been sick ever since he came back from China, and finally yesterday he was able to go to a doc appointment that he made 3 weeks ago forced by us. The doc prescribed some med for him, and here in the US, Walgreen is one popular place for you to pick up your meds.

So we went there last night, the moment I entered it, there was this one funny feeling.. then all of a sudden, I realized that it's the College nostalgia feel. Havn't been there for so long, and that was THE place to go during college.

星光大道

阿～～當然拉，這星光大道一定是要看的。 :D
Diana 說我很台，呵呵。他自己也看得很爽。

Anyway ，我想要說得不是誰唱的好，誰會贏，只是這個節目讓我知道很多很贊的歌，還有歌手。我以前從來不知到戴愛玲，在星光大道看他唱完後，真是嚇到。我也又給了曹格鹹魚翻身的機會。以前我還挺看不起這幾個新歌手的，潘偉柏，ｔａｎｋ，曹格，張棟樑，還有一些有的沒有的，有些還真是醜，我看自從周董後，藝人不醜是不能出道。離題了，in any case，我看完星光大道後，也多看了幾個曹格的ｍｖ，好吧，覺得他的歌還不錯，唱功的確也還不錯，而且是他自己寫的，這樣可以多加幾分。

My Google Ads

so.. people might realize that I added this google ad banner on top. and.... man.. this ads are ODD!! i got "洗面奶" and “減肥食品"

HUN ?? how do my posts relate to these???

Holy Carp, been a month.

Wow. So it's been a month that I have written anything. Two weeks ago I was seriously really very busy, for about a month. Many days I stayed 'til like 6 am. Even our counter part colleagues in TW were off work at that time, hahaha. So that's kinda done, the coming month should be lighter. and it's SUMMER!!

But honestly, that's not entirely why i have not been writing, though. There actually has been much that I could write, but everytime I see my laptop, or think about writing, I held back. The why is pretty simple, there are like 3 people who I know that read this blog, and these are not the people who i'd hope to read about it. And surely obviusly people that I'd hope that would see the posts do not come anywhere near the posts. sigh.....

Anyway.. so life has come back to track. My jet lag from work is also gone. Work is kinda boring. but it's all good. :)

Companion® 3 Series II multimedia speaker system

Diana and yi lun got this for me as a house warming gift. Thanks!

Moral of the story: make good friends, get good gadgets. :D

Diana is going back to Taiwan lah.

I WANNA GO BACK TO TAIWAN TOO LAH! :(

Busy like hell

最近真是忙到"爆" 這幾天每天都只睡平均四個小時，上面的 schedule 根本就是搞笑。做的到是神。

and it's also pretty interesting ( well INteresting) to see politics in a work place, between groups and stuff.

getting pretty frustrated.
but I am all good, no worries.

spiderman 3

hum... howcome no one links piderman3 ?? i think for the movies of this kind i have seen in the past year or two, this was the best, compared to superman, x man, and pirates or huo yuan jia. I thought the story was good, good ending, very intense, good fight scenese....

well.. apprently, no one agreed with any of the points I raised... -_-"

Mind-Blasting!

我從來沒有想過我有一天會花錢去看脫口秀。這種極度需要文化背景才能享受的娛樂，我這個不黃不白的半瓶醋，通常是聽不懂笑不出來的。But, Diana 去年跟我看了 Russell Peters 的秀，還真是好笑，這麼巧，他上個星期六來 Seattle ，我們三個就去看了。

OMG! It was so! Awesome! I have never ever went to a show ( any kind of show ), where I laughed non - stop from the beginning to the end. I was SOO tired from LAUGHING. It was crazy! so good.

眉批（是是是，學你們的）：I think it's because most of he jokes are culturally related, which I can relate very easily, instead of making fun of political stuff, or current news stuff, so I can actually enjoy it. Awesome!

for people who have not seen it,

Google Bitch

Man... looks like I am going to be a google bitch if not sometime soon, one day... I can do evertyhing with google. right now I pay 99 dollars a year , to have a .Mac account, so I can sync my bookmarks, address book, and some web page hosted at www.mac.com... but.. google does everything for free... I can sync/store my bookmarks, addressbook, calendar, mail, share photos and stuff all with google. now.. the only one thing that's missing is one software that will do all the syncing from one place.. and neat web templates for me to create some simple web pages if I need one. most importantly, all these are free... so.. i think i'll become a google bitch pretty soon...

這個月來在忙什麼

這個月來，在忙些什麼？在忙搬家，中間這一個月的 detail 先不說，但上上個週末(4/21)，我終於搬家了，上個星期，就在搞些接電是啦 internet 拉，等人來修東西啦，有的沒有的一大堆，然後這個週末，終於 unpack 差不多好了，洗了大概快一罐洗衣精的東西，洗車（現在可以在家裡洗車！！），洗沙發套，擦地，快要變成專業清潔供了。

新家還蠻贊的，下次在給多一點 detail。 :)

忘東忘西，連南北都忘了

話說，我跟一倫總是帶安娜小姐取笑的對象，一天到晚掉東掉西，我們兩個每次到餐廳總是愛把錢包阿，手機阿拿出來放在桌上。然後走的時候，當然就要有人忘鎖匙阿，手機阿什麼的，不是他，就是我，太多次了。然後帶安娜就一天到晚愛取笑我們。

星期五，下班，我們去 Seattle 的一間日式西餐廳吃飯，晚餐中，有著 hot discussion regarding 一倫的不正常生活作息，然後吃完飯，我刷卡，簽完名，三個人一起站起來，走人，這次可好了，帶安娜說“阿你們兩個人都手機都不要是不是？？“ ！！當時真是超經典，還真是第一次兩個人都忘了，就要走人。餐廳在二樓，三個人就一路笑，一路再給帶安娜糗，糗到一樓。

然後，就在開大門的那一剎那"oh shit"然後看著 帶安娜小姐，走回餐廳，這次，他自己，忘了他打包的食物。

笑阿！再笑阿！換你喔，報應！！

不過還真經典，三個人都忘東西！！

好久不見~

今天看到陳容婕小姐，我也心血來潮的跟他說了個 hi，沒想到一聊就是一個多小時。

陳小姐，是我的小學同學，說真的，可能是因為我們的童年比較豐富吧，我一直很納悶我甚麼我爸媽那個年代的人，都記不住他們的任何一個同學。我在國中沒什麼朋友，大部分的朋友都是小學同學，我們班因為是節奏班，所以四年都沒分班，比較特別，感情都不錯。雖然小時候，總是有很多不愉快，但現在長大了，大家都很好。

我真的很珍惜這一些友誼，我猜想，並不是每個人都可以維持這樣子特別的友誼的，大家最後一起生活，是十二歲，接下來的十多年，只見過幾次面，但是可以在二十五歲的時候某一天晚上，就這樣聊個一個多小時，應該事件很不容易的事吧。（還是，是因為他小時暗戀我的關係 :p ，啊呀，必須要說一下，就像我跟他說得，我小學的時候桃花都用光了，現在都沒人愛了，呵呵）

laushu.idv.tw

老朋友應該都還記得小的以前的網站吧。自從從學校畢業以後，就四處流浪，沒有固定的住所，各個地方的網路設備又有所不同，增加架設網站的困難度，再加上去年來到西雅圖後，跟著我四年的電腦就這樣被偷了，這五六年來的所有資料，包括網站的所有檔案全部蒸發掉，所以，就在剛入社會，經濟拮据的狀況下，沒有在繼續註冊小的使用幾年的網址 laushu.idv.tw

今天心血來潮，想說看看有沒有人會註冊這個網址，真是沒想到，還真的是有人在今年二月註冊了這個網址，...且..... 搞了成人網站。 雖然我現在是無法看到這個網站的內容，但是 google 大神有所記錄。如果 google laushu.idv.tw ，幾頁後，就會看到與成人交友有關的網站。

這實在令人有點小感傷，希望可以的話明年可以將他在買回來。

肥都都的狗

我家養了隻狗，一隻撲滿狗，從我搬到西雅圖開始，就養著這隻狗，幾乎天天餵食，直到最近這幾個月，開始有消化不良的現象，有一天，甚至出現斷頭的慘狀，所以，我今天，終於帶他到超級市場，將他這一年來所堆積的宿便給清暢，原本以為這陀宿便約有幾十元的價值，沒想到，他經然賣了一百一十多元，在扣掉手序費後，仍有一百元的價值。真是條好狗，新的一年仍將好好善待餵食他。

終於捐出去了

拖了將近一年，今天，終於把我那 1991 的 Toyota Corolla 捐掉了。

這車也真是可憐的，在給我接手後，遇到許多不祥的事，今天捐出去的時候，真的是有點殘破不堪。
這車是我在畢業後，回 wisconsin 買的，帶著我跟艷琳去了不少地方。開了半年後還被運到 Seattle ，到了 seattle 竟然還讓我開了半年，真很難相信那部破車竟然讓我開了這麼久，雖然說老實話，我還常在路上看到同款車。

掰掰破車，可以擁有一部自己買了新車，瞋好～

mama and papa gone again

Sat. 1 am, mama and papa flew back again. Friday. 8 pm we actually went to a concert that was my present for my mom's b day. A pianist who I do not know played beethoven Concerto 4, and 5. It was pretty nice, though the french horn made a huge boo boo on his major solo. Apparently this guy is insane, and in 1 week, he plays beethoven's piano concerto 1, 2, 3, 4,5 TWICE.

Saturday we took Ivy our teammate locastes in Taiwan around. at night we went to Frank's place for dinner.
Sunday, I went to Target and get shampoo and all that stuff, meant to work and go to pro club later in the after noon, but yim called for a MS Tour so yi lun and I had to do a MS tour. at 6 we HAD to watch 3 episodes of Grey's anatomy. We have to, if we don't diana would literally kill me into pieces. then I went to pro club, be a good boy, lifted some weight, then went to work for a little.

this 3 parter grey's anatomy didn't top Code Black. But it was still kinda hard. Imaging any of your being Grey for 2 seconds, tears would fall. I can't' imaging that. I love you. And some of you I think of everyday, which is really great, but it sucks...

yes yes yes.... this is a very boring entry. it has gone back to my orignal intend of recording my life in 流水帳 before I lose all my entries previously. damn... i wish I have 1/10 of 酪梨壽司的文筆。

becoming professional seattle tour guide

Saturday, we took one of our team mate who actually locates in taiwan around seattle. visit all the places that I have visited about 1230272332399837 times over the past year, and pretty much every time I went was because someone was visiting, like mom, yen lin, nick fung, and a.y. and sunday, when I was about to go to pro club, yim called and asked if I could show her friend around MS campus, and it turned out it was jhonny from Cornell ! I start to have some 心得 regarding the best route for tour. hopefully my tour quality will get better and better.

提醒自己，也提醒大家

人生真的是很難預測，平時過的好好的，很容易就忘記這一點，take everything for granted。

前一陣子 Nick Fung 來，跟 Hanna 聊天的時候知道以前的一個同學 Ian 血癌過世了，他第一次剛近醫院還在昏迷的時候我還去看過他。

住在我隔壁樓上的人，剛來 Microsoft 四個月，就因為天外飛來的橫禍，死了。

我的一個表哥，也在去年發現癌症，算蠻晚期的，目前應該還在治療中吧。

我相信大家身邊應該多多少少都有這樣類似的故事，最近許瑋倫也車禍走了，人生真的很難預測，不只是自己的生命，身旁親朋好友的生命也是一樣。

Nothing, especially life, should be taken for granted.

新年快樂，2006 回顧

目前就記得這樣，很多第一次，值得記錄回顧。

小低落的一天

Part I

今天在公司的時候看到這篇

Sex Work in Thailand

雖然剛剛看到這些 comment 有一些其他的想法，但是 in general 還是蠻令人難過的。這個世界上，還是有很多女生必須非自願（debatable)的做這些事情。Just quickly try to imaging that picture, try to feel how they feel, it's very depressing. People feel uncomfortable being mentally or psychologically naked in front of people, it'd just be so much worse to be physically naked.

Part II
Yuan Fen is very interesting, well... i mean, 緣份是很有趣的東西。今天跟爸媽去一家日本料理店吃晚餐，遇到 Yim 跟他男朋友。巧的是上次我爸媽來的時候我們在 IKEA 遇到他們，這次又是在爸媽來的時候遇到他們，而且這家電視 Yim 帶我來的。
The depressing part was how she seemed to be very happy with her boy friend. of course I am not hoping she'd be unhappy, I am just saying it's said to see how they are together, and I have already broken up with yen lin. :(

Much to write.. can never catch up...

I always have stuff piled up in my brain that I want to write.. but time time time time time.... it appears that ever since after New year, I have been fighting with time almost 24/7. Every minute I have in the office is fight against time. SOOOO BUSY!! it's not even funny... boss keeps knocking at your door for this and that... u just can't keep up. the volume of work that come to you, way.... out rate the amount of work you get done... MS is really trying to squeeze every bit out of us...much impossible goad.... @_@... i don't even know if this is good or bad.. good? it's a... challenge??? bad??? cuz it's just unrealistic??

well... anyhow..... no matter what.. like I wrote on my MSN.. "Friends are... great... :) "

SERIOUSLY.. friends are awesome. last frieday, diana yi lun and i went for 火鍋 after work.. then we dropped off diana for a party she had to go to.. yi lun and i just go to a bubble tea place and chat.. then we pick up diana .. then we went to sing...

this part .. though doesn't sound that exciting.. trust me... i appreciate a lot.. it's really a great thing for me to have friends that I can do such things.. Even better... while we were driving back yi lun dropped a note "hey thanks guys.. I feel much better from my stressed now.." apprently... both he and I were seriously under much stress last week from work.. and without knoinwg... this little evening we spend together really was a great thing not only for me but also for him... friends... really are great......

HERE IS MORE... last week wang wei lin all of a sudden called me a woke me up! she just called cuz she hasn't seen me on line for a while and wanted to check how I am... then after a few days... even 曹智雄 also invited me to chat for the sake of saying hi.. then jenny also contacted me, sunday or saturday en tzu also called.... and just yesterday Jasmine said hi online too.... !!! this is so awesome.... ( althoug i don't really quite get why they always come in batch ) friends are great....

THANK EVERYONE OF YOU!!

especially thanks to en tzu.. not only you are one of the few who actually reads my blog... at the end I realized that you called just to check on me after you read my blog.. thanks! so nice of you...

hum... now.... not sure how to end this..... well...... lov you all~ :)

Mumbling

So.. apprently, I find it really hard to keep up blogging. once a while you'd have plenty of time then you'll write a lot, then all of a sudden you are busy. you go straight to work right after you wake up. you come home it can be 10 pm, and after 2 hour, you'd wanna be asleep. or it could be 8, then you are tired from the day, you'd just wanna lie on the couch do some little TVing, and rest. it's really quite difficult to keep up, even if you have tons of topics in mind that you meant to write....

又見名人

來了 Seattle 見到好多名人
Bill Gates
Steve Balmer
Beckham
王建明

今天又見到了一位
李開復
http://taiwan.cnet.com/news/software/0,2000064574,20100654,00.htm
This guy worked for motorola, apple, and microsoft, and now is the VP for google in Greater China.
Crazy!

apprently, he appears to be a very humble man. very sincere, and 很有親和力。a very very nice guy, with just a short encounter.

the funny thing is that, his talk was, of course.. at google, so a few of us just went to the google office after our work.. then we gradually met up a few other folks. well, it's not a surprise that majority people who were at the talk were from Microsoft, but the funny thing was that 6 of us were from the exactly the same product team. so at the end we were all joking how we didn't see each other.

who't the next?

Interesting Week! Nick Fung IS HERE!!

This weekend is an interesting one. 1) Diana is starting her snow board lessons ( not very interesting ) 2) YI Lun officially moves to his new BOUGHT apartment right next block to my RENT apartment.

Finlly... 3! One of my best friends, is visiting me, oops.. i mean.. is Laying Over in Seattle! Apprently, for some reason, they needed to come into the US though the Canadian border, so they flew to Canada and their friend drove them down to seattle, and they stay here for one night, then fly to LA on Sunday.

This was really cool. We havn't seen each other for 6 years. Hanna(another high school friend who is also in seattle) and I took him around and stuff, and he stayed at my place for a night, and we Wiied until 4 am. It is really nice to see him. He is the 4th person that I have met in the past half year who I had not met for years.

really great.... hope to see you soon nick...



he has not changed a bitl...

New Gadget In - GPS

A couple weeks back, I saw a deal for a GPS system that was orinally 300 and on sale for 200. It was on sale for the next morning. Next morning I woke up and saw that the deal was still there, so I was very happy, and started to do a little bit of research. ( Actually I already did some, but just wanted to make sure that it is not crapy so it's so cheap, *most GPS are more than 300 bucks. which I think is BS ). So about 5 minutes later, after I was sure that this isn't a bad choice, I went back to Staple.com, and... yes... you're right... it's gone..

so I was very very mad! 不死心， Drove to two other physical Stables store, and surely they were all sold out. This particular event bothered me so much. Cause you rarealy see a 200 bucks GPS. There aren't even crappy ones that cose that little, and this one actually gets pretty good review.

I was so pissed. that for whole week whenever soemthing relates to GPS flips me out. and apprently, this behaviour of mine bothered Dinana.

So, just that week, she saw the deal again, and this time it's $198 dollars. So HURRIED to e mailed me to get it, and even treid to call me. I, on the other side, as as I got the e mail, I finished the trasaction in about 5 minutes. She was hoping that this little hope she offered can shut me up from complanning about not able to get that good deal GPS no more. :)

So.. finally.... I GOT my GPS!! one more on list gadget in my bag. one more step closer to gadget complete.



Apprently this cheap GPS is actually pretty good. It's so awesome that it found Frank's new hom the night b/f, and Wal-Mart for me last night. GPS = Awesome!

Grey's Anatomy

Have you seen Grey's Anatomy? I have not until this weekend. Diana is the big fan of it, so she sorta makes me watch it. I saw one current episode at her place once, I liked it, so she gave the whole season two DVD set. This weekend is black out, so.. me and yi lun watched.. hum... over two days... 7 episodes....

THIS IS SUCH A GREAT DRAMA. it's like OH MY GOD. like I said to yi lun.. I can probably blog for like 5 pages tonight. There is just way way way too much going on, and there is way way too much that you can talk about and think about. It's way way too thought provoking. I don't know if Diana watches it the same way as I do, I actually hope she doesn't. Because it actually really makes watching it very tiring. There is way too much to think about.

Well, after all, I am not going to blog for 5 pages, I'll just blog about this one of so many.

It actually kinda sad that, at the end of the day, it's a drama. and we don't live in any drama. Though I do think that this Doctor job sucks, and people are under just way too much pressure, so do we people who don't live in Grey's Anatomy. All of us are. Whether you are in school or at work. We all are under high pressure. But, unfortunately, we aren't in a drama, and we won't have an episode not being able to stop crying. Christina is under so much pressure, she holds in so much that it finally burst out, in the script, and the episode. And the fact is that we all do wish to have such an episode, an episode in life, and episode to be weak, to break down, to be like a baby, to be responsible free. Don't we? There is so much to suck up in life, and yet our script does not seem to include a natural break down on any page.

Yes this is not something to learn from the show, little dpressing it is, but definitely something to realize, or say.. reminded...

雪就算了，連個風雨也擋不住。

這西雅圖真是搞笑，上次下個小雪，天下大亂，今天來個暴風雨，風其實真是蠻大的，然後搞得公司停電，我不能工作。現在 Redmond 跟 Bellevue 的路燈都沒電了。家裡的電燈，閃呀閃的。這個西亞提真是個貴夫人耶。如果是台灣的颱風，我看又一個月不用上班了，真是的。

我叫金三順

我知道這個韓劇已經很舊了，不過現在美國這邊的中天在演。

其實剛開始我完全沒有在看，後來是因為比較閒一點，斷斷續續的看了幾集。後來去了 oklahoma ，回來又開始忙了，就沒有在努力看了，不過前幾天，又趕回來看了十五分鐘，看了以後，真的就很想知道發生了些什麼事情。

昨天，很早上班，然後就突然想說，去 YouTube 上面找找，看有沒有人有 POST這樣我就可以把 missed 掉的捕回來了。

結果！！不但有，還是全集，韓語發音配英文字幕。

這下可糟了，停不下來了，邊上班邊看，一連看了好多集，今天！竟然就把他給看完了。

晚上回家的時候發現，竟然中天還沒有演完，哈哈哈。

有這麼好看媽？其實也沒有，只是我又像個女人一樣的感觸很多。與其說感觸，其實是感覺，跟著男女主角一起的情緒起伏，我好能體會他們兩個人的心情跟感覺。他們經歷的每個痛，我都知道是什麼樣的感覺。

愛，真的好難好難。

雪的笑話，之二

星期五跟幾個人吃午飯，其中一個較長老的，跟我們說，這裡的小朋友，包括高中生，有 "2nd winter break"，聽到的時候，我們幾個剛畢業的小朋友，驚聲尖叫，什麼？？？？怎麼會有這種事？？

繼續聽下去


hun?? 為什麼？為什麼有第二個 winter break?

因為這裡的冬天太 "miserable" .......................


這 ... 這..... 太可笑了吧。

台灣的草莓族，沒有抗壓性，這裡的大人小孩都沒有抗雪性........

阿～這是晚上還是早上

上星期跟這星期我都需要很早到公司，上星期第一次早到公司真是嚇死我了。

我大概六點鬧鐘響，爭開眼，窗外是一片黑，然後就回籠覺，多睡了半個小時，想說，眼睛打開應該會稍微有點藍藍的微亮了，結果還是沒有，我就去洗澡，洗出來，找不到路回房間，登沒開，完全是黑的，七點十分，車子開出門，天還是黑的！！！而且是像晚上十點那樣的黑。

我真的是太久沒有這麼早出門了，真的不知道現在這麼早，天是這樣黑的。

我七點上班天是黑的，六點下班，天還是黑的。 -_-"

Portland 之旅

Saturday, yi lun, me dinana, frank and tina went for our first portland trip.

portland isn't such a great tourist, but then why do we drive 3 hours there?

THEY HAVE NO SALES TAX.

Frank just moved to his newly bought house. and he's in need of stuff. he bought a set of bose speakers and also needed AV system. so he bought one in portland, with a rare discount and no sale tax, it's a pretty awesome deal.

but, if he just goes alone, he'd not really make it up for gas, so we all tagged alone. went to the outlet, 每個人都殺紅了演。

it's really petty nice, for only $100 bucks, got bunch of stuff home.

sweet :)

first foot ball game in bar and first Office Holiday Party

今天是 Office （這裡所謂的 Office 指的是個產品，而不是辦公室的意思）的 party。

去以前，跟 Diana 去看了我人生的第一個 foot ball game in a bar. 這算是我人生的小小遺憾，在ｕｗ沒有去看過一次ｆｏｏｔｂａｌｌ。

i finally learnt how to watch one. it was a pretty good game.

then we came back to dress up and go to the party. diana came to my place to change, and myself, spent freaking half hour to find the sweater I want. so sorry...

it wasn't that good, though it was pretty big. got food and casino.

wasn't all that fun, but still a good event to attend and pretend to relax.. oh.. and drink for free....

pic to come..

Just Some Snow

So apprently Seattle does not know how to handle snow at all.

We came back on Monday, and it was actually snowing on Monday. By the time I arrive, snow was already gone. But the high way was crazy. Tuesday, I went to work, OMG, no body was there. I checked my e mail, and some of my collegues actually took 10 hours to get home by 3 am. OMG.

around 2 pm or so, our big big boss actually wrote an e mail, basically telling everyone to go home. he also wrote one in the morning to tell people not to come to work. Wednesday, my lead still took off. Thursday, two of my collegues still took off. basically it was too slippery to drive. And the forecast said that it was going to snow again on Wednesday, so everyone again took off around 2, I left around 4 too.

it's so awesome. just like 0.5 inch of snow, we get like a snow day... oh.. no i mean.. snow WEEEK. it's like an extended break. everyone says they are going to work from home. I SERIOUSLY wonder if people really work when they are at home. maybe a little, i'd bet most likely not as much as if they were in the offfice.

See the real problem is that, no one really tries to get rid of snow, while it's snowing. You are supposed to spread Salt and Sand all over the place, but no body does that. So snow quickly become ice, and it becomes too ice to drive, so everyone drive like 1 mile per hour on high way.

If this bit of snow makes the 天下大亂 for 3 days... I think winsconsin should simply close down for winter. no schoo and no work during winter.. :)

so...........boring.....................

Friday night... after work.. diana went to a sonic game, me and yi lun were so........... bored....

the only good thing was that we tired out a new Taiwanese restaraunt that's really actdually pertty nicely good. it's the best 台灣小吃 i have had in the US. thought the carge everything as if they are full course meal. you know how small 小吃 are.. and they chart as much as a real dish, so.. it ended up pretty expensive. awesome place to go, but can't go often.

but then we were so bored... no where to go in bellevue, ended up using poker cards to play 五子棋跟圈圈叉叉。we don't do bars, and don't feel like driving so far away to go to bubble tea place. didn't feel like watching movie... and ended up no where to go... sigh.........

this place is pretty boring !!

沒有 Title

現在一點五十分，我很精神，不過實在是非常的應該要睡了，最近都很晚才去上班，雖然說這個星期，幾乎不算是工作天，因為星期四星期五放假，不過總是還是要去上班。每天鬧鐘都轉八點半，每天都拖到九點多才起來，到公司都十點多了，真是不應該，應該星期一三根ｄｉａｎａ去上體育課，逼自己起床才是。

最近看到胡太太的新聞，真的是很難過，我沒有辦法想像同樣的事情發生在我身上，這真的是太難承受了。

不過

同時，我也不斷的在想，今天，如果他不是胡太太，他還能有相同的待遇嗎？如果沒有，被就活的機率又多少呢？

無論如何，這事情，跟前幾天發生在我家的事情，真的是，提醒大家，命，真的是很難說的。我知道，這些都是些廢話，說了也是白說，不過，人活久了，很容易 take for granted。忘了，能夠活著，是個 previlige。

Update on the Crane

Here is a pic I took after I got home. This is the building across the street from my apartment.

大家，生日快樂 (STOLEN)

十月十一月是生日潮，春天的時候大家努力做人，這時候就驗收成果，所以祝所有在這時候生日的朋友生日快樂。

不過今天要特別在祝我跟一倫一次生日快樂，因為我們今天同時很巧的收到我們期待已久的生日禮物的正身。

謝謝 Dinana & Yi Lun~
我的


一倫的

Hello Everyone, I am alive.

Hello everyone. I am glad that I can sit here in the office now Friday afternoon to write this post. Life is unexpected, and you will never know when you'll die. But regardless, I haven't, which is good.

Thursday, yesterday was a very interesting day... Today is EnTzu's Birthday, today is the day I go to the homeland security office to do my biometric collection for green card. Today is also the day my team, the test team, will sign off our product for CTP1 ( this means we will have the final say that our product is good to release to the public, finally, CTP means a preview version, traditionally called 'beta' )

So after I went to the biometric thingy, I still came back to the office because I knew that I have a few tests that failed and I need to get them working so my team can have the final say 'it's good, we can release.' so I got to the office around 4:30.

After a bit of work, everything was all good and happy by 6 pm. Then Diana, out of usual, actually has to stay later for her work. I decided to give yi lun who has been on training for the past 3 days a call and see if he's back home.

Apparently, timing was perfect, he just reached, unfortunately, again, out of usual, his car is out of battery. His car is like his second life. So I drove my car, dropped a few friends of his that he made in the trainning, and we WENT BACK TO MY APPARTMENT to get my jump start kit. ( as i am writing , I just realized that it's only a few minutes after that it happened. )

Then we came back to office, jump starts his car, went out to run for a while to cahrge the batter then came back to the office to wait for dinana. It is very very unusual for diana to stay that late especially for Thursday, because of her Grey's Anatomy show. So after she was done, we decided to get pizza and go to her place to eat and watch Grey's Anatomy.

After Grey's Anatomy, we watched something else, and around 11:30 pm, Yi lun said he's gonna go home. So we left.

Just right before we left, her TiVO recorded a piece of news, it was talking about how the cranes in bellevue have been having problems ( i think I heard killing people, but I am not sure ) and I even responded 'oh... man.. there are so many of those now in bellevue because of all the constructions)

then after I went home, I was rerouted when I arrived Bellevue, which is not very unusal, they rerout people all the time because of constructions everywhere. Then I made a few small turn, go into the stree of my building, "holy shit.... polices all over the place and the fireman..."

While I saw that crane right in front of my building, I really couldn't see if it hits MY appartment. After looking around a bit, I called yi lun and asked if I could stay at his place, because the whole building closed donw.

After I got to his place, we saw the news, then I realized that one person was killing for this incident.

Then after a few more shots, we couldn't really see where I actually live, and we kinnda assumed that it didn't hit my apartment, otherwise it would have shown it.

Now here you see the picture, thank I was not there, and thank got I live next to it. Acoording to the news, it happen around 7:45 pm.

Man... I seriously have been thinking about writing my will. You really don't know when you might die.....

I dunno why it's not show, so click on it, it'll show in a new window.

我的電鋼琴。

我不記得我是否 blog 過我心買的電鋼琴了， but here it is.

厚！冬天完全就是來了～～

冬天，完全就是來了。

西雅圖的冬季應該比ｍａｄｉｓｏｎ還要明顯，為什麼？因為只要一開始下雨下不停，就知道冬天來了。天天下，天天下，一直下，一直下，不停的下，不停的下，下的變豬頭。偏偏我在開始狂下的前幾天，買了一張洗車卷，接下來完全就是搞笑阿，根本就沒有一天可以洗車。我真不知道我這整個冬天是須不需要洗車。

不過不太冷倒是真的，搞了半天，連ｏｋｌａｈｏｍａ那種南部地區都似乎比我們這裡冷一些。不過我這個從ｗｉｓｃｏｎｓｉｎ來的，總是遇到一些有趣的現象，就像在台灣看到有人穿貂皮大衣，我在這裡十多度看到有人穿雪一，真實覺得他們有點神經病，那是我在ｗｉｓｃｏｎｓｉｎ低於零下時度的時候穿的東西。

這個與，實在是太 depressing 了。每天都昏暗昏暗的ｇｌｏｏｍｙ。做天突然看到一私陽光，沒有雨，跟一倫兩個人興奮的在車上狂叫，像個神經病一樣，整個對好天氣的標準完全降低到零點以下。

夏天的超好天氣，換來的就是這樣的冬天。上帝是公平的。

厚！身邊都是人生大事在發生

這個星期六， Frank 搬家！怎麼上了班以後，身邊的人都是在完成一些人生大事？有人結婚，有人生小孩，好多人買房子，Frank 夫婦就是那個買了房子的其中一個。昨天星期六下午，我們一起到他家集合，將他的所有家當班上車，他是租了一部搬家的ｕｈａｕｌ，我不知道原本的ｐｌａｎ是不是要來個幾趟，後來，我們就乾脆把所有塞不玩得東西全部塞上我們的車裡，還來我也把我的車開來（我跟ｙｉｌｕｎ ｃａｒｐｏｏｌ），最後一輛，ｕｈａｕｌ，加四台自用車，塞滿滿，一個大車隊，一起浩浩蕩蕩的開到ｆｒａｎｋ的新家。

喔！ｍａｎ！！新家真是超贊。老實說，我並不是太愛他們家的外面，不過裡面真是超贊，其實，新家就是贊！！喔！！進去那一剎那，真的就超希望自己有個家喔。且以前只想要有個大樓裡的公寓，厚！現在很羨慕那們能自己有一棟。真是太贊了。

喔！！！ SURPRISE!!!

man........ yi lun and diana.... thanks so much for all the surprises.

Friday, Nov. 3, around noon, while I was struggling with a surprise break in my BVT ( for people who don't know, just take this as a quite serious issue at my work ), yi lun and dinan dropped in with a box thrown on my desk and "Happy Birthday." I was totally shocked... not only was my reaction was already slowed down because of the BVT failure.. and I was blank for a few senconds.. like "hun..........." dude.. "what???????????" my birthday was 10 days ago, we already celebreated and yi lun already made me a 'going to be gift' ( see * )

then I opened it up... it was a 'FUCKING' CELL PHONE. man... so sorry for my language.. but 'freaking cell phone' just won't expresss my surprise. WOW!!

apprently, they know me well that they got a sonyericsson phone that "looks" so awesome. this phone is not sold in the US ( surprise......... @_@ ) and they bought one that's imported on line, and.. turns out it's from saudi arabia hahaha....

man.. this is SO AWESOME.. thought this is not the best model sonyericsson right now, I LOVE IT. serously. it looks realy nice. and that's all it matters. GOOD LOOKING, and can dial a call...may..be.. can do sms which is not even that important for me hahahaha......

thanks guys....


* so... for yi lun's b day, me and diana made him a 'wii' out of card board paper... becaue wii is only going to be pre ordered in a couple days after his b day, and getting the actual machine NEXT WEEK, and we know it's some thing that he definitely wants to get... we made him one out of paper....

for me... yi lun knows that I am getting a pair of bluetooth head phone from logitech that is also only being pre ordered... so they yi lun insisted in making one of that out of paper as well.. so for my b day.. i got a pair of fake head phones... which I actually have gussed.. but I was definitely not anticipating another surprise of this phoen... :)

SOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!

so today is holloween. over the weekend, people on my team has been putting up decorations in the hall way to setup for halloween for today. I didn't do too much, wasn't too involved. i didn't know how much of a deal it really is.

over the weekend, I didn't do any celebration at all. unlike in college, I didn't go to any parties. and I actually didn't see any one dress up or any parties.

then today, Tuesday, is finally the day.. and man... we do get some really nice decorations. BUT. to me the real fun part is really not the decoration ( the decoraion is actually god damn fxxx annoying. imaging, all the halls ways are full of spider webs... -_-|| I literally was crawling the whole morning... or day.. ) , the real fun part was to see all the kids dress up..

GOD! THEY ARE SOOOO CUTE.... it's unbelievable how cute they are.

in college, you see crazy, funny, weird costumes... today... i see all the kids in costumes... so.. very very very cute... i'lll get some photo up later if I can. though I was shooting video all the time. it's such a very different halloween perspective.

;)

IT WORKS!!

OMG!!! OMG!!! IT FREAKING WORKS..

my bath tub has been stucked for the past month, and it just get worse and worse to a point it's pretty much very disgusting.

so this weekend, I thought if I'd just open it up, and really clean it, water will go into the drain, and everything will be all good. Apparently, I was way wrong.

I almost called our service, but then I thought i'd give it one more try, and go buy those solutions that you can pour in it and it will clean the shit inside the drain for you and give you drain back.

of course, I didn't have much expectation, because in general, you hear people say that it's bull shit and it doesn't work.

so went to target, bought it, came home at night. put a little in it, which I was supposed to put all of them in it, but then it just didn't go in, and leaked out already. so I waited for about 10 minutes and went do my things, came back. OH!! it actually went down. So, I thought .. well.. maybe it's because it had a long time, so it does go down the drain as it does with normal water, just takes a long time, THEN, I pour almost the whole thing in... AND... IT ALL WENT DOWN!!!! at the end, still a bit of it leaked out, can couldn't go to, but after a wait of a few seconds, it went in again.

so I left it there for an hour just as the instruction says. then....OMG.. i came back, turn the hot water on ( as instructed... ) oh.... my ... god....... not only all the water went down the drain, with zero problem, I could actually even see the metal inside SHINNY!!!!!! IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!

I can't believe that it actually really works. ! I have my drain back, and I can do a little bath now ~ :)

Note: I told dinana the next day.. and she basically bought exactly the same solution before, and it totally DID NOT WORK. -_-"

i am a good boy.

I was again a good boy this weekend and have gone to gym to do a little badmiton and work out. I think i've been going in the past 3 weekends? maybe? I really really wish that I have the determination to go every other day, and do enough that could really puff my up, but i know i simply don't have that a bit at all.

Saturday night, yi lun called me up for "The Prestige".. hum.. it was an interesting movie which I didn't like. i guess i didn't like it because the movie was so dark from almost pretty much the very first minute. she first died. then he changed. and he was always bad. then he became so bad. and at the end everyone was all so bad... and finally he died... i mean... man.. it makes me so depressed...

Saturday was also interesting, cuz Yim visited me. I have not seen her for a long time ever since she moved to seattle and amazon. she's totally an very interesting friend. I just can't describe it, but it's just a really really interesting friendship. I know she probably doesn't have a bit of idea of what I am saying, but to me it's just a very interesting friendship. :) haha.

thanks everyone.

thanks everyone who has participated in my b day in one way or the other. while there were surprises, in a general sense, what I was anticipating all happened, which made it a pretty nice b day, that i felt like a circle was pieces by pieces completed. I konwn this is a weird analogy, but it really is how I felt. things happened one after this the other, calls one after ther other, and by the time who called, the circle was completed. no disaapointment. :) awesome. so really thanks everyone who has participated in anyway, because all of you together have completed my b day present.

but of couse I wanna thank yi lun and diana for the night that they planned. I had much fun being 3 yr old. and of course also the surprise on Sunday. I seriuosly did not gussed a bit of it. and of course thanks yi lun for his art work ~ :)

and finally, the one very last piece of the circle was completed by yen lin's pkg which I really wasn't anticipating. the content of the pkg was defintiley so very 用心。 thanks very much.

like some of you already know. Wednesday was actually pretty sucky. and I had been kinda depressed since Tuesday, because of work and stuff. so again, thanks for people here and there making my day better.

thanks~

happy birthday to me. :)

dunno what i want..

man... this is pretty problematic man.. not even funny. i dunno what i want. life and people, what life and what people. do this or do that? wnat this or want that? all over i am all bothered by myself. i am not even sure how to express. it feels kinda of like... but at the same time also a little .... and now i realize that i really write this kind of entry a lot.. mumbling w/o really saying anything or expressing anything. don't get me wrong though.. i am in general happy. life in general is pretty good. but some times you get bothered by things right? yeah..... may... be... cuz it seem like i am bothered by things that is kind of far away from me. hun?? what?? i dunno.... anyway.... going to bed..... nite guys... sorry for this stupid entry.

又回來啦～

厚，真的不知道為什麼都要過這樣久才又來寫。

現在識星期六下午四點十八，本人現在躺在床上，看著一些很久沒有看得朋友的 blog ，不知道為什麼，已經很久沒有看遮些以前會看得 blog 了。 小雞現在的寫作風格，跟酪梨壽司有得拼。酪梨壽司仍然有狂多的粉絲，我完全覺得他應該要去選立委。
Alos logged into face, and 'poked' around a little. Finally added my pic.

Update on my side...

a few weks back, we had our company meeting. 去年我來 interview 的前一天，剛好是 company meeting. It is an interesting event, where a few tens of thouse and employee there, and also got some company spirit boost, products, see bill gates, and steve balmer, and TOYS~

another event that happen was that I went to a collegue's BABY Shower! this is so werid.... ti's like oh my god... everything is all so weird. like dinan said, we went to our collegues's place and now we are invited as friends, instead of friend's kids. we sit on the table talk as we are the real guest, instead guest's kid. now I am invited to a baby shower, because I am the dad's frined...... just a few weeks back, I went to my firnds's wedding, now I am going to my friend's BABY Shower... well... maybe you'd think if thie collegue is like 35 or s/t years old.. it's not as 'disturbing' but..... the fact is the Mom is only 25. it is so scary......... to me.... I know. i know.........i know it's all normal what so ever, it's just very hard for me to understand someone my age is having a kid... and she actually looks way much more mature than me.. not 'look' but 'behaviour'.


Then, we had yi lun's birthday...

人生迷恍點

wow... 我的人生還沒有這麼迷恍過

最近發生了好多事情
上個星期去了我高中是有的婚禮
見到了第一年來美國實認識的一個朋友 daphne
還無意間的遇到了一個 family friend ( 極度非常的巧合）
這高中室友我大概五年沒有見了
Daphne 大概也六年沒有見了
還有一些其他的事情
讓我突然間對人生有種從來有過的迷惘個恍孔
我的人生一只以來，雖然不是給家長給一步步安排好
但直到到今天，其實每一步也都中規中舉，除了能近任何一個specific學校是surprise 以外
每一步，其實都沒有太多的 surprise

可是就現在，我突然間發現，我下個月就已經要二十五歲了
這個二十五在我完全沒有意識過來與心裡準備下來的好快好快
只剩下五年，我就要三十了
我知道，這五年將會非常非常快的飛逝，在我還沒有反應過來以前
我跟這一些朋友，五六年沒見，我的人生又有多少個五六年，在三十以前，只剩一個了。
我還有多少機會，可以回台灣見一些人？見一些如果我在不見可能會見不到的人？
身邊的朋友一個個開始結婚定下來了，怎麼這麼快？（前幾天才聽 Nick 說 我高中的暗戀學姊也結婚了）
我感覺我好像還有好多需要在三十歲以前做的事情沒有做，決定的事情還沒有決定
我甚至還不清楚到底是哪一些事情我要做，我應該要做決定
然後，時間就會很快的在我眼前消失
三十歲救回在迅雷不及掩耳的速度下出現在我的面前
讓我完全措手不及，就像現在這個如警鈴般的 二十五

以前有個日劇叫三十拉警報，我二十五歲警報器就已經響了

對於人生，我從來沒有這麼恍孔過

omg. so fast?

i called jenny the other day. she called me a few days back, but I wasn't able to talk. she went to our elementary school reunion, which I very much wanted to go.

we talked for quite a while, then towads the ends, I realized something that I never realized and is such a obvious fact that shocks me so much that again is as scary as my "friend" post.

both me and her are roughly 24. only 6 yrs b/f we are 30. and in fact her bf is about 30, and they have been together for more than 6 yrs. honestly, if she were not my friend, i'd easily think that hey... it's time to get married. 24 and 30. it's perfect marriage age. BUT. i totally totally totally can not imagine my friend, jenny, getting married, and be a wife. I really just can't. HUN???? what are you talking about? but... when u look at it... my god... she might very likely get married in like HUN? what?? 2 years??? in two years, jenny will be married.!! ................... sorry to any one who thinks i am weird... but this is just so ... I can't take it...

we talked about this, because.. actually.. one of our classmates got married.

how did this marry thing come so close in front of our face so sudden w/o me realizing it?? how? how did it happened??

more on friends....

這篇，其實我想寫很久了，拖了很久。

來了這裡，認識了 diana 跟 yi lun。I don't think they have any idea what they mean to much.

It's hard to find friends, harder to find good friends, even harder to find friends who you can hang out daily, and do so much together. You need to be very much on the same frequency, in order to hang out for long period of time, large number of times, and have quality times. We have done so much together, and we had so much good time. This perhaps doesn't sound like a big deal to people, but apparantly, I have not had this kind of friendship for the past 5 years, when I was in coollege and grad school. I'd not have a frined who would bring me a drink when s/he goes out of the office. I didn't have friends who would ask me if I'd go freebee with them in the weekend, have lunch and dinner together, watch 3 god fathers together, move around office desks together, spend much time doing vacation prank together, cook for each other, letting each other know good stuff, good deal, and good fun to do. they are friends you feel so comfortable being with. you know you can virutally do any joke on them, and they'll never take it personally, sometimes, even when the jokes are so mean. friends that we know the care we have for each other. friends who you can give a call at 7 pm and go to lakeshore to hang out play freebee, until the sunsets. friends who would bother to joke on you. friends that you know you don't have to watch out what you say in front of them, you don't have to watch out how you behave, it's just plain easy, and just be yourself, true self.

I have no idea how to tell you guys, what this is. This really isn't a friendship that you can't find anywhere else in the world, but it IS a friendship that I have lost ever since I graduated from high school. this really is something so invalubale that I have gained, from moving here.

I don't think they know how much they mean to me.

but this really scares me. as much as I have so much of these feeling, and emotion, I do at the same time have so much attachment on them. this friendship, has, to me grown to a friendship that I depend on. I have grown dependant on this frienship. which also means, if I ever lose it, it will be BAD. very very BAD. AND also, I know, with the way MS is, one day, and doesn't have to be soon, one day, we will part. soon, one of us will move out of building 31, and this bond can very likely be broken. one of us, go to another team, unlike me, would quickly gather his or her new group of friends, and this bond we have at this very present time, will possibliy be broken. I am scared of that. but there is not much I can do about it. I am just like a little baby, will feel so sad, one day we lose it.

one day, they might see this post, if you ever do, let me thank you for this friendship. THANK YOU.

我的 monthly diary

晃眼間，我的 blog 已經成為 montly blog 了，從最後一篇到今天，發生了太多事情了

爸媽來了三星期，我看完了我的威風女友（天阿，已經好久以前的是了），他們回去後，我去了芝加哥換了個六個月的護照，見到林小雞。Diana 生日過了。然後yi lun 的媽回紐約了。艷林回了美國，馬上來找了我，然後又回學校要開使新的學其了。去看了被課和，然後現在 Diana 的媽又來了（我們這裡有部間斷的客人～），下星期要去看王建民。這中間，我完成了 Acceptance Test ，下星期 需要完成 Certification Test。差不多從爸媽他們來的前一個星期，我就開始暴忙，直到現在，真是暴忙。幾乎每天吃完飯就回公司。下星期，是我的 BVT 每天早上八點要到。真是太........忙了。

希望這樣足夠做我成為monthly blog的藉口

Mom&Dad Coming~

Tomorrow mom and dad are coming. this is the first time that I can drive to the airport to pick them up and take them back to my home. interesting... though i am excited.. i have not figured out what I can do with them.. i mean.. i can't drive them to seattle everymoning b/f I go to work.. that'd be crazily early for them.. and just way too much travel for me... and they surely want to visit seatle and not where I live..so... well.. we'll c....

“我的威風女友“

馬的，這個李金熙，真想掐死她！！ Arrrrr.....

車車車車車，我買了我人生的第一部新車。

車！！！！


我買新車了！！ 經過了兩個星期，我終於在六月時候的時候給了頭期款，買了車，星期天， Diana 帶我去把車開回家！！

:D

Honda Civic 2006 LX :)

好久沒寫了～

嗯 ........ 好久沒寫了

我這個月來過的很好，在公司，交了兩個好朋友，Diana 跟 Yi Lun ，我們常 hang out，一起吃飯，一起看電影。Diana 的朋友來的時候，我們大家一起吃飯，感覺好像回到了高中的時候。有朋友的感覺真好。只是跟這一群人吃飯，我完全就老掉了，個個是十九，二十一歲的。不過他門倒是說我看起來不像有二十四，希望不是說給我爽的。

只是，其實我內心是有點點的小害怕的，很怕，交了好朋友，有了 attachment ，我很怕那種失去 attachment 的感覺，跟高中大學不一樣，沒有四年的 time frame，未來怎麼樣，誰都不知道。

在微軟，認識了很多人，什麼人都有，什麼年紀的都有，很有趣。

這結局 ......??

今天大家都死光光了，真不知道這是好還是不好，雖然感覺很慘，可是，可能似乎這是個好結局吧，如果相愛的人不能在一起。

關東英雄這兩天也是，一直在搞愛人的人不被愛。

人生到此，也經歷過了許多事情，讓我看到這些劇情時，感觸感覺特別特別深......

我相信，雖日即將要過去！！

現在已經清晨一點十八分了，可是我必須要寫完這一篇，才可以睡，就算我明天因為上課需要早半個小時起床。

我相信！！我相信！！從昨天開始，我的雖日就要過去了，從今天開始，我可以過正常的生活了。

今天天說想我，我聽到時的心情，比知道進了ｍｓ還激動。

今天，竟然，連我的ｍｏｔｏ手機，都自己莫名其妙的好了。

我相信！！（我不求什麼好日子），正常的日子，就要來了！！

不平不靜

事一
今天茶母終於撥到大概是整套戲最重要的一集，實在是太可年了，兩個相愛的人，是不能在一起的兄妹，女生，相信，也會因為對自己的矜持，束縛，對於沒有來得及在男生還活著的時候表達自己心中的感覺而後悔，更重要的是，她的慢，造成了兄妹兩人在世時永遠都沒有相認的遺憾，我真的覺得，實在是太慘了。

事二
我真的覺得很不舒服，為什麼我來了三個月，總是不能好好寧寧靜靜，平平安安的開始過著穩定的生活，總是有事情一而在在而三的接踵而來。剛來找房子，後來掉電腦，現在又發生護照要過期的事情，艷琳的事情，為什麼，總是不能就平平靜靜呢？

事三
昨天 jenny 打電話來問我關於 UCSD 的事情，因為她的同事想要申請。然後就聊到關於美國跟台灣工作環境的不同。我聽了，覺得，我還是待在美過的好。那種在台灣，有著官階 difference 的環境，我應該是很難適應。在這裡，一切以能力為主，大家如國能力相當，不會因為我才來三個月，而講話沒有份量，從工作上的角度來看，每個人對於每個人所說得話都有同等的尊重，管你是四十歲，或是二十四歲。另一個更討厭的，是有人會說“你們國外回來的........."說這種話的人，真令我討厭。

事四
工作開始忙了，壓力也開始大了。

事五
我真的很努力的開始做個不自閉的小孩，很主動的交朋友，真的。有沒有獎賞？

事六
我很想做好人，很想幫助人，當我有心要幫助人的時候，很難過，別人卻不領情，要怎麼樣，我的好心，才會真正的被感激而接受？


累了，晚安。

忙起來了

這個星期，終於忙起來了。meeting 一個接著一個，下個星期我要 hold 我第一次的 meeting 。 而且 3 of them in a row on Monday. 這下有趣了。這星期需要趕出一個文件出來，原本星期四晚上差不多弄好了，星期五早上，也完稿整理好，卻竟然不小心在下午的時候，將他 delete 掉（實際上部是這樣，不過簡單的說是這樣），所以害的我原本計畫辛苦了一個星期，要五點就回家的，卻又搞到七八點。

我想，接下，來應該就是忙，然後忙，然後忙下去了 ..... 真正的工作日子就這樣來了...

捐血日

好久沒捐血了
今天去捐血
上班怎麼捐血？喔，捐血車就在停場，走出去十步就到了。呵呵。
微軟員工可是這個區域血小板的最大來源。

又是件好事

今天恩慈小姐說我應該更新我的 blog.. 呵呵.. 的確

我的日子呢，是沒有什麼特別啦。這個星期，已經開始懶了，沒有煮太多，不過其實還有個很大的原因是已經變不出東西，不知道可以煮些什麼了。

今天晚上的文茜週報，到了大陸訪問王建諠，這個我小時候常聽到的名字，不過我一直都不知道他是做什麼的（邊寫邊想到，他腳踏一圈台灣替新黨選總統。）不過他現在在中國辦高中。在當地，國中小是義務教育，高中開始，學費漲十倍，很多學生都沒錢讀，就他救了這些學生。一個小時候摔跤，盲了一眼的男生，原本沒錢讀書，去打工，是王建宣救他回來，現在他是全校第一。他一個快七十歲的老人家，跟學生之間的互動就像朋友一樣。他完全沒有“董事長“的架子，學生們大呼董事長好，他也開玩笑跟學生要她們手上的冰棍兒吃。

這樣的人，是我的偶像，因為他，有多少人的生命因此有了轉變。

omg

OMG ! 現在中天新聞有個白人，依格爾，用中文在介紹八里島的頂級飯店。

他 .... 他.... 他 .... 的中文會不會太好了一點阿？？只有一點點點點點點的口音，但是他的中文真是太贊了。發音贊，完全是字正腔圓的台灣腔（不是台灣國語），用詞文句更是贊，句句有成語，這 .... 我看他的中文應該比我好＠＿＠。

What the heck am I doing in the US?

It seems to have been one of the times that I try to connect back with my friends. I talked to chih hao, nick, and jasmine for a little. It seems like most of my good friends are all back to where they were from besides Chih Hao. Nick and his bro Dennis are back in hk. Nick is in a interier design. Erica is an artist in hk. jina is supposed to be in hk too. David is at 深圳。 Jasmine, Archi, Kalvin, and Jimmy are all in Taiwan.

so.. what the heck am I doing in the US??

oh.. and li chen is also in the US...

:(

這個星期，無意間看到了個網站，這個網站你可以跟很多人聊天，而且是視訊的聊天，不過其實你可以看得到他們，他們看不到你，你可以公開的跟大家一起跟他們聊天，或是你可以付錢跟他一對一的聊天，每分鐘兩塊錢美金，而網站抽成百分之五十，所以其中的一塊錢是給這些人的。聰明的人，這時就可以想到，這是什麼樣的東西。如果還想不到，在給你一點 hint ，裡面的人，絕大多數都是女生。是的，沒錯，希望你已經猜到了，當然，這些女生引誘你的花錢跟他一對一聊天的，當然就是... 近了一對一聊天的狀態，就可想而知的。

其實這個東西早就有了，只是我這次看到，感到特別難過，因為這些女生，個個都非常非常的年輕，我相信很多應該都不到二十歲，一看就知道是東南亞比較落後的國家的小朋友，用這種方法在賺錢。這個，真的非常的令我難過，尤其是當你看到他們的臉，百的動作，穿的衣服，真的覺得，為什麼這個世界要讓他們這樣。

從某一個角度來看，或許這並不是那麼遭的工作，雖然你每天被世界各個角落的陌生豬哥看光光了，還要擺出一些說初一些我相信他們不喜歡說與做的事情，但是至少，他們或許這輩子永遠都部會被這些鹹豬手碰到他們一根寒毛。一個月如果可以賺個兩百塊美金的薪水，我相信以當地的民情來看，已經是不得了了。等存夠了錢，就可以開始為自己的夢想努力。希望事情真的是如此的單純。

說真的，有些女生，長得還蠻不錯的，看了真的令人很難過。如果你又看到跟他們說話的人所說得話，你真的會想要去找到那些人，把他們的手踱掉，讓他們以後永遠都不能在對人和人打出那樣的字眼。

真的很希望可為他們做些什麼。

想法的一些改變

昨天中天新聞報導了一個和平國中，這個國中錢不夠，水不夠，電不夠，大部分的學生是原住民，很多學生住校，因為住家離學校四五個小時，學生有烘衣機，不用因為太費電，洗澡，洗冷水澡，在這樣偏僻的地方，很多的老師都是替代役兵，兩年就走，但是也有老師，一呆就是十年。更重要的事，每一個我看到的學生，都是很愉快的，我也很嚮往這樣簡簡單單的生活，物質生活簡單，其實，精神生活也是簡單，大家都過的簡單，但都很愉快。有個十三歲的男生，得了慢性肝癌，這一輩子每天都要自己洗腎，管子直接插進肚子裡，這樣就算了，他還有學習障礙，但是他不怨天不尤人。

其實，可能大部份的人都不知道，其實我一直有個願望，就是等我可以退休以後，想要教小學生。

認識我的人都知道，其實我對於目前持續朝著 CS 的方向走，一直是有著遲疑的，因為我一直有著想要做 Psychology Research 的想法，因為我覺得 Psychology Research 對於對人類的需求有著更直接的幫助。對於有精神疾病的朋友們，這些 Research 是有多麼需要與重要，但是對於現在的軟體業，雖然都可以在給人們帶來新的便利，但皆是可有可無。

最近來了 Microsoft 的這一段時間，開始有了一點想法的改變，就是，如果我真的可以賺夠錢的話，其實我一樣可以對於 Psycology Research 這方面有所貢獻 by donation。相同的，雖然我真的有這種衝動，很想要就到和平國中，親身的幫助這一些學生，這一些家庭，不過或許如果我以後有能力，能夠給予金錢上的協助，也是間接變相的一種幫助。因為我也不可能親身的幫助每一個我想要幫助的人。

前一陣子，新聞報導了一個老人，他過世了，他的家人才知道，他這一輩子幫助了多少人。以前他自己苦過，後來他熬過來了，賺了前了，可以過的很好，但自己過的簡陋，每次在新聞上看到有需要幫助的人，他就會自己照到這些人，給他們幫助，我希望，我以後可以也有能力以他為榜樣。

我的家

我的家其實大部大的東西都差不多了，就差一個書櫃沒有。完全要非常感謝天天，沒有他，我完全沒有辦法位我的家決定該買的東西，就光有他在，我們都從下五三點搞到晚上九點，搞得兩人都累癱了，他那天還肚子不舒服。

現在需要的就是慢慢的，將東西放到該放的櫃子裡等等。昨天將ｃｄ分類好。將一大佗一大佗的電線整理好，美美的放在櫃子裡。

我昨天花想盡辦法要買個盒子，可以放我所有的信件的，竟然 target ， container store 逛爛了，還是找不到個可以放信的盒子，真是不可思議。

今天很乖的終於將稅單填好了，真是個麻煩的東西。

原來男生是喜歡女兒的

現在在這裡上班，有一個跟以前做學生很不一樣的一件事情，就是身邊很多人都是結了昏了，有了（多個）小孩的，滿滿皆是。我的 team 一共有八個人，其中只有三個男生是單身的，其他每一個都是有家室的，且只有一個沒有小孩，不過其實搭家也都不是老人家，所以小孩有都還算是小。

上個星期週末去了一個台灣同事家吃飯，被請去的六組人馬中，只有我是單身，只有一組夫妻是還沒有小孩的。當然， again 小孩其實也都還不大，所以當然他們很自然的會聊到小孩，其中最年長的一個爸爸就說了，“還是女兒好對不對，可以疼" ，我隔後好一段時間一直在想這件事情，嘗試著要體會，我覺得慢慢的可以體會，如果是男生阿，你跟他就會有要保持男生跟男生之間的距離，反而是女兒，沒有這樣的隔閡。

是這樣嗎？？
