又是件好事
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
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@_@。

:(
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
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
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
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??

我回來了
過去這一個月真的是.... 沒有辦法形容
大家可能會以為覺得我工作忙等等的
其實,不是這樣的。
二月二十號的時候,我的車子的所被破壞,我的電腦被偷了,不是我的手提電腦,是我用了五年的桌上電腦,其中包括了我來美國後十年的資料,幾千首音樂,幾千張相片,日記。
FAQ
有沒有備份?有,但都在電腦裡。
為什麼電腦在車裡?因為我在搬家,家裡很亂,所以將電腦先留在車裡。
我現在真的已經不想再說太多了,感覺像失去了一個親人一樣,只能等待奇蹟的發生。將近一個月已經過了,我希望慢慢的從今天起,我可以回到正常的生活了。
上個星期,終於將家裡給差不多弄好了,大部分的傢具都買了,乾乾淨淨,整整齊齊,舒舒服服,只是少了這個電腦,總是讓家裡缺了一個很大的缺口。
謝謝這一陣子艷琳跟 daphne 的 support。

Apt finaly found.
Then we went to bellevue, one of them she was going to take me I actually already visited and liked and they aren't available. One she showed me was on my list, but for some reason I didn't go. Perhaps because they look so very fancy, I was a bit scared away. but this one I also like very much, it's also like the other two that I visited, having "IKEA" style.
I didn't put my deposit right away, because we had others to check out. After we are done, the lady suggested me to put in the deposit ASAP. Because it looks very likely that this will be my last only chance to get a reasonable ( reasonably in my high end expected budget )one bed room. She thought it's very strange, because usually the winter is like low season and have many things available ( she's done this so 10 years or something ) , so she suggested me not to wait until the 8th when the other two that I liked would know their availability.
I went back in the evening, and asked again and she told me that the one she showed me was gone.. and I was shocked, but then she said, it was her mistake that it was the other one that was available. So the really available one is on the ground floor, and you really don't get much sun light. I really hesitated, but this one is cheaper ( and smaller ). She told me about the other one, and that one was just a bit more than my Maximum expected budget, which will be on the upper floor. So eventually I asked her to hold the small one for me. and I really needed sometime to think about and need some other opinions.
at night, I called up mom, and we talked about it, and she suggested me to see the big one firs then decide.
Sunday, I went in and she told me..... the big one just got rented a 1-2 hours ago. -_-"" really a bummer. but she told me that there are other ones, one for 1095 and one for 1110. So I checked out the 1110 one, but couldn't c the 1095 one b/c it's still being cleaned up and stuff. But I asked to c them from outside and even the 940 one, and after a long long thought, I decided to go for the 1110. Yeah.. more than my expected budget, but the 1110 has so many advantages, it's on the higher floor, more privacy, it faces out to the street, again more privacy and definitely much more sun light, and it's bigger ( though this really isn't a issue). and also this one has a better floor plan, the 940 I really didn't know how I could put my bed.

my MS days...
http://laushums.blogspot.com
thinking about the future isn't fun
I have been wondering what T.G.I. Frieday means. I finally were able to find out last night that it means Thank God It's Frieday. But this was not the ponit to write it here. It was during the process, I realized how am I going to Fridays if I can't go with YenLin. well. i know you'd think that's stupid, but ever since I knew YenLin, I've only been here with her.
I have thought about how I will decorate my place once I get it. BUT, if I have no one to share with.. there is really no point.
Getting this job is cool in just a few perspectives, some of these perpective really isn't very cool at all.

Happy New Year?
Friday night, after work, even though I did really not much, I was so so so very tired. I guess even though I didn't do much actual work or thinking, I was feeling quite tense all the time. I was totally exhausted by the time I reached home which was i think even b/f 6:30. Made myself go out and eat at KFC ( dont' ask, I just feel like having kfc).
Saturday afternoon, I made myself drive to see two apts. I really like them. They are not like those old style, but the interior design were both ( same management btw) , like the receptionist put, IKEA like. unfortunately, and it will be a bit of problem, that is they have nothing avaible in Feb. and my place will expire in mid Feb. I really should've made my move much earlier. So I really have to figure out what to do now. Rent something bad earlier, or rent them for march and find some place to stay? If I keep staying in the place that was provided by MS, it's 120 a day, plus my storage that's like 4 bucks a day. @_@ no way can afford it. I still wanna c what they can show me, they means the tourist people MS provide to help me find a place to stay. Then rent here is around 660 to 1000 for stuiod and one bed room. One of them I liked had this loft thing, it's basically high ceiling and 2nd floor inside ).
Sunday, I made myself drive to Seattle. I was just hoping to get on the high way while I still have the rental car. Was hoping to get some good driving experience, but it was raining like crazy. It has been raining since Friday. I think it rains like more than 2/3 of the days in the year here in Seattle.

So the Last Day at Waisman Center
Today is my last day at Waisman. I feel very sad about this leaving. This place is really great. Not only does it have good physical working environment, it also has many good and nice people. I guess most importantly, my boss is very nice and so is Frances, my office mate.
I went in around 910 this morning. Met my boss at around 10 or so. We talked as all of our previous meetings. And that was it. The last day, the last meeting. Then I cleaned up my stuff, returned the key, and said good bye to Frances.
I planned on getting everything done around Wednesday, so I could have more time to prepare to leave, more psychologically I guess. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to, so I finished my last bit of work last night. And I guess this is how I feel a little dangling right now.
Anyway. time to gather myself and move on.

hum... guess will have to stay at blogspot for a while.
I was gonna move to blogsome.com, because there I can categorize my entries, unfortunately, they server has been extremely slow lately, and their publicity just isn't as nice as blogger, so... sigh.. why is blogger so stupid not having categories?? this is unbelievable.
Food Fest!~
Ever since school ended for yen lin we have been having some food fest. Thursday night was a new sea food restaurant having fish, Friday night was a steak house that we've always wanted to go but never had the time, Saturday night, X'mas eve, we had lobster ( not that good lobster, kind of cheezy ), Sunday night, white hall steak, the biggest steak i have ever seen in my life. we even got a free pizza, b/c yen lin wasn't that into that huge pice of meet. This waiter was very nice. He even said that don't really worry about the bill, cuz they already closed the cashier and can't do credit card no more.
Beneton is on 50% sale, it was great~!
