Chloe的小姑姑把Chloe爸爸小時候的照片找了出來,
我們看了真的覺得太好笑了, 原來Chloe長得跟爸爸小時候一模一樣,
不過Chloe的臉龐多了女生的秀氣, 老公說Chloe比他小時候要可愛. 

有人說Chloe比較像爸爸, 有人說像媽媽?
你覺得勒?

台南
12/03  met with 桂玲, dined at 奇美咖啡館, 還視覺得奇美咖啡館很普通,不好吃
12/05 met with 俊霖 and his son, 台灣人口味的韓式火鍋 at 三皇三家 (和在美國的韓國人開的的韓式火鍋, 味道差很多, 我還是比較喜歡符合台灣人口味的韓式火鍋) 

11/26 在六年沒吃到蓮霧和芭樂後,今天吃到蓮霧和芭樂, 有種眼淚要掉下來的感覺.
11/29 enjoyed 酸菜白肉鍋 (真是孕婦最愛) with her family and is heading to Kenting today
12/2 冬天的墾丁很舒服,很多大陸觀光客,還去黑珍珠故鄉(屏東林邊)買了一堆黑珍珠蓮霧
12/3 回到溫暖的台灣後, 穿著短袖短褲的我們,常常被人家唸要穿外套, 可是我們真的不冷阿, 現在Portland都零下負4度C了, 回去才真的需要穿外套ㄋㄟ

當心中有所期待的時候, 時間總是過得特別慢....唉呀呀...好難熬喔.
But I put my faith in God fully as He said He will do whatever I ask in Jesus' name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.

這一篇是寫給好友Sharon,
2003的8月31日我搬來美國, 2003年9月我認識了親愛的Sharon. 一轉眼來美國已經六年了,
一心想當教授的她, 前天帶著Linguistics 的PhD回去台灣,要到交大當Post doc了, 交大真是有福氣請到這麼美麗可愛的Post doc.

好累, 忙死了, 每天,每小時, 每分鐘都在忙, 事情已經都做不完,
一下這個人煩你, 一下那個人煩你, 一下有人拜託你,
還要跟lunatic and paranoid 的人溝通,
白天做不完, 下班帶回家做, 做到睡在電腦前, weekday做不完, weekend繼續做 還要處理一堆喇賽的事情, 不然又要有人來哭腰,

SPEECHLESS.....

Just like a normal afternoon, I was listening to the radio with my Ipod at work. The program was intervened and the host was broadcasting the breaking news saying Michael Jackson passed away this afternoon at age of 50. I was so shocked and couldn’t believe what I just heard. One minute I was like…No way…you gotta be kidding me. You mean the King of Pop? the one who did the moon walk? He died of cardiac arrest.

Tonight I was watching this game and felt very sorry for Chien-Ming Wang. really hope he can find himself back soon. This article on NY TIMES SPORTS headline tonight is not going to make you happy. I don't like sports critics anyway.

It has been crazily busy at work these days. I have been so overworked and stressed out that I don't quite feel like myself lately.   I can't be more swamped and really looking forward to our trip to Maui, Hawaii in 12 days. It feels like I have so much to write but I don't know where to start.
This month we have friends coming from Vancouver,Canada to visit us and our new house. It is always nice to hang out with the old friends and chat about those good old days. And soon a member from Bread fellowship, Helen, will move to live with us for 3 months while she does intern in Intel this summer. Helen joined Bread after I left Seattle so we don't have much chance to know each other but I believe it will be a fun summer with more friends around.

星期五請假,覺得需要充電,不然會發瘋,
於是開車去Seattle, 玩個2天一夜,看看親愛的朋友們和老弟,吃吃好吃的食物,去Bellevue吃到了台灣小吃,
去Pike place market吃到好吃的Russian bread,回去學校看看櫻花,雖然還沒全開, 只開了2/3, 但是每次看還是都要狂拍一番,開回家之前去大華超市又大採購,扛了$186的grocery回來,

18年後再聽到這首歌, 除了 一種說不出來的懷舊感, 以前在中學的回憶也都湧上心頭,
我是一隻小小鳥, 趙傳在1991年出的專輯, 當時候我還是國中1年級, 當時就很喜歡這首歌, 不過純粹是喜歡歌曲, 對歌詞的體會比較沒有感覺. 反正中學生就是瘋狂迷流行歌曲.

18年後, 聽到超級星光大道的參賽著張心傑在冠軍賽裡面唱我是一 隻小小鳥, 讓我想起了以前很喜愛這首歌,唯一不一樣的是, 現在的我很能體會歌詞的意境, 歌詞反應出我經歷這麼多年對生活的感觸, 尤其是在職場工作之後, 更能體會歌詞裡面所寫的苦和無奈.

公司附近竟然開了一個badminton club, 讓我真是太開心了,
這個禮拜是第一個開幕的禮拜, 進去打球都免錢, 真是太爽了.
羽球館的老板看起來像是個巴基斯坦人,老板就跟我們解釋這禮拜是慶祝開幕,來打球都免錢,
又跟我們介紹club會員的收費和他們的提供羽球課,

肉體的一生在這世上,生活真的是很辛苦,工作問題,家庭問題,朋友夫妻問題,病魔....
Our manager always says life is tough. 年紀越大,每天deal with nasty people and nasty problems at work,還有很多喇塞的事, 真的覺得life is really tough. 好希望主耶穌在我們30-40歲的時候就再來,這樣就可以把我們都接走, 我就可以跟這些討厭的事說byebye, 也不會看到肉體老化的自己, 也不會經歷病魔的折磨和肉體老化的痛苦
