Happy Chinese New Year

Tomorrow will be the first day of the year of Pig. Well, there are really not many events here for the celebration, except a party by CHIME in Saturday night tomorrow. The most important and happiest thing is that she is coming to town! Alright, I appreciate that if there are any suggestions of good restaurants Seattle, Bellevue and Redmond.

Happy New Year!

排球队的老照片

今天 Miaomiao 同学带我去 Overlake Christian Church 打排球。球场上老中青各阶级各肤色的人民群众都有。若干年后再一次返回球场,气势依旧,技术龟烂。特别是扣球,基本上是 100% 失误率。弹跳就更不用说了,好像地球引力对我来说特别强。战术意识还有,前排进攻的时候知道站在旁边补位。可惜,返回原来位置的时候,验证了当年排球队老高高老师的一句话:跟火车转弯一样。唉,光阴一去不复返啊。想当年在深圳实验学校打副攻的时候……算了,英雄不提当年勇。还好翻出两张旧照片,可以美美地沉浸一会。

刚拿完深圳冠军,正在给女子组比赛加油。

颁奖典礼,那年我17岁。

A 30-Days Summary

It’s been a month since my job started on 15th last month. Joshua told me that, once you started a job, you life is accelerated. It will soon be a month later, a year later and then a whole life later. So I just want to stick a summary post here, to memorialize the month that has just passed by.

I had a great time in my new place, office in past 30 days. Comparing to my life in university, I didn’t notice any difference that is big in my life here. My place is very close to where I work. I go to supermarket every weekend and take bus with a bag of food. I study new knowledge and take notes. Every morning, I ride on my bike from my place through the trails to my work building. I make myself a nice cup of Starbuck’s coffee in the kitchen. Then I come to my office and complete the booting of my day.

In a month, I had a delightful lunch in a nice restaurant with my team. Our whole team went to ski at Snoqualmie, on a cloudy Friday – Yes, it is a business day. My collegues are very nice. The most important, is that they are also smart people in work. That is the main reason why I come here. I am pretty sure this is the great place to improve myself, since there are a lot of new stuff for me to learn and eXPerience. I just feel lucky.

Until last weekend I visited one of the libraries in University of Washington, looking at those students studying under that atomsphere, I suddenly realized that I am no longer one of them. Few seconds later, I asked myself. I said, ”Self, what’s next?”

一个错误的作文示范

前天网站服务商一管理员发信说 His Story 主页面太耗资源了,搞得 Host 服务器瘫了。我查了半天,最后发现把 WordPress Widget 关掉以后页面加载速度快了很多。还不知道什么原因,但是很让人不爽。

还好把近 48 小时都没解决的问题终于在昨天晚上搞掂了,心情有些恢复。于是今天一大早便屁颠屁颠地跟着团队里的一票人马跑去滑雪。(公司福利还是不错的,午饭、出租费用、车费都包了。否则我也不会来的。)兴高采烈地租了滑雪板,漫步蹒跚地走进了看的眼睛发疼的白茫茫的滑雪场。因为从来没滑过,所以参加了一个多小时的初学者班。后来当我感觉可以不会在 10 秒钟之内嘴贴地的时候,才发现大家都去乘缆车上去高处来真的了。这个滑雪场分三个高处,高级、中级和初级。当然,我是后来才知道的。原因就会知道了。

我一路踩着我心爱的“香蕉皮“,一路向着其中一个缆车走去。当我摇摇晃晃像烧腊店里的卤水挂在缆车向上传送的时候,我有点奇怪:45 度角向上去的方向那是云啊还是雾啊?终于,到达了终点站。因为缆车并没有停,坐在上面的人理应跟着惯性踩着滑雪板滑下来。所以一个肯定的结果,就是我再一次与地球接吻了。一阵张牙舞爪之后,我终于站起来了。正当准备唱国歌庆祝一下的时候,才发现了一个让我多么后悔的现实——我来到了高级滑雪出发点。

之后发生了什么我不知道,我也不想说,也不想有人知道。反正最后回家的时候还是有几口气可以喘的。冲了凉,然后跟 YYY 出吃了个饭,接着去 41、42 跟另外几个朋友分别打了会儿桌球、打了会儿乒乓球。最后就坐在这里写完这篇作文,然后打算睡觉了。

总结一下,好久没运动了,滑雪、桌球、乒乓球玩什么感觉都像初学者。虽然实际上就是一个初学者,不过还是有点开心的。啊,多么美好的一天啊!

I got ants in my pants

I just moved to my new apartment last weekend. I spent a day cleaning the place up, and I sat in my chair having a rest. Soon I realized that I was not the only tenant in the 1-bedroom. There were two ants having fun on my desk and another ant lost its direction on my pants. Before they figured out what was going on, I sent them somewhere else. Sorry guys, it’s my territory now. The ants were big and they reminds me a song from James Brown.

我与我同行

Redmond 的夜很黑,一路上一个人都没有。骑着单车一路飞奔,始终与前面的路灯拉不开距离。远处树林里隐约藏着一些桌灯,安静得竟让我听到刷刷的耳边风。如果把一切都摆在天上,也许我是晚空中一道划过的星吧。

两则新闻

  1. Windows Vista 发布了。
  2. 自从小学四年级以来的若干年后我又每天骑上了单车

2007 Voyageur GS

下面是这款 2007 Voyageur GS 的主要参数:

  • 3 级前齿轮挂挡 X 7 级后齿轮挂挡 = 21 级变速
  • N’Litened 超轻合金框架
  • 23 英寸高强度车轮

这么帅的单车,让我每次骑回家的时候都忍不住要哼两句:“骑上我心爱滴小车车~
