Riceman and Leigo's Wedding Clip

A good friend of ours directed this video for our wedding, and recently uploaded to youtube. Time flies, can't believe it that we have been married for over three years now. My grandparents traveled all the way from Taiwan to attend our wedding. Now they are both gone, making me a little sad when I see them on the footage. Other than that, it was a retarded, but nonetheless fun fun fun wedding.

Over Youtube

This Christmas light installation is pretty spectacular. Lots of youtube posts recently, huh?!

沒有工作， 那我是誰？

紐約時間凌晨十二點，
獨自坐在桌上，望著還沒熄燈的林肯中心，
大米哥早已不省人事，鼾聲大呼。
又跟上海的工廠溝通了將近兩小時，
從來不曾覺得溝通是一件累人的事，
但現在全身的每個細胞都在喊累...
不就是為了幾片不鏽鋼的材質和表面處裡，
瑣碎的細節啊...
想起大學時代有個教授的口頭禪：
trivial, trivial, trivial.

離開了朝九晚五的工作後，
突然生活少了什麼，
滿足不了膨脹不得了的自我，
想短時間闖出自己的路，
想證明和炫耀自己的存在。

但，難道人生只是工作，只是賺錢嗎？
沒有工作，那我是誰？
“拖著死屍的是誰？“

輕鬆ㄧ下 聽聽音樂

I was browsing thru youtube, and found that there is a big following of these two chinese boys. They crack me up. Very funny.


The other day, we heard 明天會更好 in Chien Chien's car. It felt very warm and nolstalgic. This is a simialr song done two/three years ago by many famous Taiwanese singers aginst SARS. 聽聽這些感人大合唱，會覺得很有元氣！


Marvellous tap dancing by Fred Astaire with Eleanor Powel. The music, the set and the tapping shoes can rewind the clock back to the gilded age of 1940. 如果...如果... 有一天..我的腳能那麼聽話... 該有多美..

Frustrated...

Just finished a long conversation with the factory in China. Very frustrated. Have been waiting for them to submit an estimate, but looks like they have not even started looking at the drawings.... sigh....

味王贈

在台北的時候，家裡有個鐵調羹，鐵調羹上有“味王贈“三個字，是我媽買味素的贈品。調羹實在是普通的可以，沒特別好，也沒特別精緻，只是比其他的調羹多了三個字。每天吃晚飯前，我和我弟就會為了那隻調羹開始吵，好像沒有用“味王贈“吃飯會死人似的。後來我媽受不了，就再去買一包味王味素，可是已經沒送贈品了。最後就規定星期一，三，五我弟可以用“味王贈“，二，四，六我用，禮拜天呢，誰都別想用。過了幾年，我們搬到新加坡，那隻調羹也不知道去了哪裡。今天是康康生日，突然想到這件事，在這裡祝康康生日快樂。從小到大，沒看過我弟那麼認真努力過，看樣子他很在乎這個工作，打心底替他高興，也希望訓練一切順利平安。

痛 痛 痛 痛 痛痛痛痛

Yes, we had a fun day yesterday. We were playing non-stop from 9AM to midnight, starting off with yummy potato pancakes, to badminton, martial art, good food, movie, bs with friends, and come home to bs more with more friends. We haven't indulge ourselves like this for a long time. It felt good. When I wake up today, my whole body ache really bad from the exercise. Got to exertcise more often. 姊妹們，加油ㄚ！

慈濟會員

Today I went to visit a case with San San S/G. A high school senior, also a student at the Chinese school. He was run over by a car wile walking on the sidewalk. Can you believe that?! The car driver was a Taiwanese, and so is this boy. One of his leg was amputated, it's pretty hard to look at him in the face. San San S/G did most of the talking, I don't know what positive thing to say at all.... I can't imagine if this happen to people close to us.

BTW, if any of you are interested in knowing more about Tzu Chi 慈濟，or would like to be a member or volunteer, please let me know.

小雞啊？你在哪裡？？？

要運動

好久好久沒運動，全身軟趴趴的。
每次看大米哥打完籃球，一副很爽的樣子，實在羨慕。
本來是想找一個gym，但每次參加的結果都是只付錢不去，所以作罷。
後來決定去學跳舞，想有老師鞭策應該會比較勤勞。
去了附近的 Broadway Dance Center，
發現裡面跳舞的人都超專業的，
從世界各地來的舞者，
有跳jazz, hiphop, ballet, tap....
選了最基本的踢踏舞課，
別人跳呢，手是手，腳是腳，
我呢，手不是手，腳不是腳，超不協調的，
還被老師叫到旁邊個別指導。
不過流了滿身大汗，而音樂還蠻好聽的，
雖然第一堂課很糗，但運動完後的心情...好開心ㄛ！

老態龍鍾

今天分會舉行喬遷典禮，Leigo當司儀，第一次穿上慈濟師姑裝，
真老態.... 老.... 老死了！

So... This is Architrade

Finally, my little 7'x 2.5' office is set up. One solid core door sitting on top of two British red file cabinets. Even managed to negoticate 7' x 1' of air space from the heater. The space is pretty minimal but functional. It overlooked Lincoln Center. I worked the whole day today in the space, and absolutely loved it.

折金磚

解釋一下，這是家人在幫奶奶摺金磚，紙錢的一種，很難折的。要先把長條做成六個三角形，三角形再拼成立體正方形，然後放七個小元寶在裡面。大家努力了好幾天，才折了兩箱。燒紙錢的時候，五分鐘就燒掉了。其實紙錢蠻不環保，也不和因果相應，一個心意吧....

Ang Lee in Oscar

Couldn't get the first sentence he said. Anyone? I like the way he said thank you in Chinese and address to people in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China. 格局大啊！

要加持ㄚ

今天要去談第一筆生意，加持一下啊！
突然讓我想起霹靂貓（還是He-Man）常會說：
“請萬能的神給我神奇的力量。“

Office Furniture

這幾天很積極的在找個適合的辦公桌，左看右看上看下看，the dream office space will be a silver glass top desk with orange metal file cabinets from USM ($5500), and an Aeron Chair from Herman Miller ($900). After all, a dream is a dream. 夢想和現實通常都有一點距離，明天要去IKEA買桌子。椅子呢，可能先用餐桌椅。

Architrade 趕快賺錢啊，這樣子，我就可以去買漂漂的桌椅！
