]]> 謝謝V藉著送我一台腳踏車,藉以強迫我開始養成運動習慣 @_@ 騎著也騎出興趣來... 現在單日來回大概是40km左右,主要還是騎車運動+可以吃吃喝喝(後面這個是重點), 週末也比較常出門蹓躂 :D

Remember this if getting lost...

關於一隻雞和我最近的生活

遇到了一個客戶，真的認真說起來，她應該還不是最糟的那種，只是我們兩個的氣大概不太合，她總有本事兩三下把我搞得肝火指數破表，我大概也讓她奇蒙子相當不爽一段時間了。

]]> 如果不能怪罪到八字的話，只能說我們兩個的EQ大概都很差，不然怎麼會看不對眼到這種程度。有時候想想，哎呀，乾脆自己 roll off 算了，免得一直得罪人家，要是害別人動了胎氣，可是罪過，不過話又說回來，十次有九次是妳惹了老娘我啊!!!! @*#$)@#$(@#$%******* (突然聽到玻璃碎掉的聲音...)

好吧，在台灣作一天consulting，就當自己是進了尼姑廟練佛心來著的，從今天開始，看到她就想起下面這隻雞，應該就能繼續開會開下去了.... (阿彌陀佛..)

(還是我自己比較像這隻已經趴了的雞??!!)

good old time..

(Me at Williamstown, Australia, 2007)

哪裡有我想要的生活？

Lunar Eclipse @ Harvard Square

Wow!! This is the last lunar eclipse before 2010!

]]> After dinner at Harvard square (yeah the famous lobster dinner... yum yum), on our way back home, we saw lunar eclipse high up. I didn't have tripod with me (plus the temperature was like minus 5 outdoor) so the picture is a bit blur (or a lot blur) but you can still see there was something happening :p

Chicago Impressions

Obviously my biased impressions.

(To be continued...)

Blue Chicago

A blue night out in the windy city.

]]> 結束了一週的training，搬家到Chicago Downtown過週末，外頭的天氣還是一樣冷吱吱，站在戶外超過十五分鐘耳朵應該會裂掉。晚上和同事到一家芝加哥著名的藍調pub "Blue Chicago"，我們來得早，八點多左右店內只有寥寥幾桌客人，輕鬆閒適的氣氛。一杯vodka lemonade以後有點微醺，blue chicago和其他幾間有名的blue或jazz bar比起來，差別應該是沒有晚餐或輕食可用，我們來之前沒有注意，只好喝酒果腹 :p

Shirley Johnson Blues Band的表演很精彩，在過了十一點後，bar裡面已經擠滿了用過晚餐以後來clubbing的人潮，大家隨著藍調音樂輕鬆地舞動，不知不覺地已經午夜了而且我們還沒吃飯！

用手機錄了一些video clips不過品質不是太好，在youtube上找到昨天也有演奏的sweet home chicago，也分享一下這首好聽的藍調，應該可以想像一下昨天晚上在blue chicago的氛圍 =)

In Chicago

:: Freezing toro (you can see snow outside the window...)

Shet... it's fxxx freezing cold up here!!

]]> It was indeed a long journey (TPE -> HK -> LA -> CHICAGO plus flight delays plus super xxxx security check).... I'm falling apart now and have to give up working on a thing that I'd better complete by today rather than tomorrow (who knows what will happen on jet-lagging Monday?!)

SOA design school... sounds yummy. Let's see!

Outback Venture - Part 1 (Ayers Rock)

:: Ayers Rock (Uluru) base walk

為了一首歌和一部電影（平井堅's "瞳をとじて"、 "世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ"），千里迢迢飛到Australia outback，然後再花了三天，從澳洲紅土中心搭車橫跨simpson desert's skirt到澳洲東岸。

]]>

這趟旅程和以往的旅行比起來，不但獨特、而且對體力也是很大的考驗（對我這種平常沒運動的人來說:p），尤其是從outback一路開車到東岸的這三天，幾乎是有兩天時間所經過的地方都是一部車都遇不著的荒漠（恩，路上只看得到袋鼠和牛）。

很難忘的旅程。(照片, including Uluru, Kata Tjuta (Olga Gorge) and Kings Canyon)

Happy Chinese New Year!!!!

Yeah~~~~

]]> 2007 was a good year for me in general: spent lots of time "improving my quality of life", returned to France for a month for a week training and 3 weeks for a doing-nothing-vacation, 6 months in Melbourne for a engagement and 1 months around Australia trip. Learnt to do stuffs that I never thought of doing (i.e. scuba diving and skiing) Luckily I got the frist prize (a SONY BRAVIA 40" TV) at year end party and traded it into 2 fancy GPS PDA phone and 1 superfine microwave for my mom.

For the coming year.... I hope I can spend more time with my bf, explorer many more new territories in terms of work and be healthy!!

Happy Chinese New Year to all of you my friends!!
