生日感言

Friday, February 24th, 2006

今天是我的生日(香港時間呀!)。在這麼的一個日子,我是不是要寫一些甚麼感言呢? 其實這幾年來,我對生日也沒有甚麼特別的感覺了。跟朋友過也好,以前跟女朋友過也好,一個人過也好,其實也沒有太大的分別:我的生日,是寂寞的日子。 為甚麼?也許是因為每個生日也像在提醒自己:我又獨自一個人走過一年了。 我大概不應該無病呻吟。我已經很幸運,有把我照顧得無微不至的家人,也有了解我和真誠對我的朋友,哪裡是一個人? 但是,有一些感觸,一些心情,是言語不能形容的。無論家人,朋友,情人跟我再親密,有些事情還是要我自己一個去面對的。每個人的路,都需要自己走出來的。That's life. 隨非你是我,才可與我常在。 生日願望?我希望世界和平。 Yeah, right.

Merry Christmas

Sunday, December 25th, 2005

Merry Christmas to all my friends. A big thank you for those who sent me e-cards. Now I feel kind of ashamed not have done it... :p

Numb

Sunday, December 11th, 2005

Nothing much to report these days, time is split between doing research (a-hem), watching the Canucks, little things here and there, and not doing anything in particular. Wrote a short 5000-character story the week before the last. I haven't put it up on the web site yet though, ...

Today

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

Is it because of me not hanging out in the campus much these days, or I really saw an unusual amount of pretty girls on the bus and around the SUB today? Compared to the Bay Area, Vancouver is really heaven in certain aspects...

Book Cover Draft

Friday, September 9th, 2005

Another September, another start to a school year. I haven't been productive at all this week because of all sorts of administrative stuff going on, moving offices, getting forms, keys, and what not. Hopefully things will settle down soon, as I really have to get on with the project if ...

Leaving, Going Back

Sunday, August 28th, 2005

When Andy and I went out for dinner the other night, I asked Andy if we should go have dinner with Harold sometime, since he's leaving for Hong Kong soon. Just now I asked Harold when he'll be back, and it turns out he's going to take a flight later ...

Lucia’s Birthday Dinner

Friday, August 26th, 2005

Went out with Andy and Lucia to celebrate Lucia's birthday tonight.  I seem to know quite a few people who have birthdays in late August (a couple of Leos, but most of them Virgos).  It's also odd that none of them are close friends with me except Lucia (and not ...

Summer

Tuesday, July 19th, 2005

Nothing much to report these days. There's only a little more than a month left for this summer (well, I guess it won't make much of a difference to me, since I don't have any more classes anyway), and there's still lots of things undone, academic or otherwise... Oh well, let's sleep ...

Pedestrian Scrambles

Thursday, July 7th, 2005

When I was visiting Taipei (precisely this time last year), there's an intersection where at one point the pedestrians can cross the intersection diagonally (it's near the Taipei City Hall). I thought it was peculiar because I've never seen it before. Just now I ran across the traffic light page ...
