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。

感恩

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.

感恩

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

我個人國小畢業不需要在寫“新年新希望"以後就再也沒有什麼實際的 New Year Resolution。不過2006 還是個蠻值得回顧的一年，所以就回顧一下。

終於買了 key board
終於寫了錄了第一首歌
有了ｓｕｒｒｏｕｎｄ ｓｏｕｎｄ ｓｙｓｔｅｍ
第一次做了選傢具，買傢具，組傢具的經驗
第一次睡在自己的雙人床上
終於不住在爛爛的宿舍或ａｐｔ
去了第一個朋友的ｗｅｄｄｉｎｇ
開始過著開車上班的生活（新車＋需要走過高速公路十五分鐘的）
開始有了隱形眼鏡
終於又有了朋友
Experience people having new born baby around me.
開始看連續劇～
開始有比較有形的牛仔褲
十年來胖了五公斤！！！！！

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...

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....

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...
