New updates on the blog

I haven't update this blog for a long time and found out some spam comments.... it took me some times to clear them out.

Not much different now except I moved to Oregon City two years ago.

I went to a camping trip last weekend. It was fun.... but know of cool down to the coast. The weather was pretty good and I took some good pictures as well.

Went out with friends on Friday night since one of my friend dropped by from Seattle. I haven't went out for that late for a long time..... it almost kill me..... what can I say.... I am getting OLD...... >__<

Today I just update two of my blog and I found this one seems to be slightly faster..... the other I have... took forever to upload the file......

The hot weekend -- over 100F...... >__<

It is going to be over 100F this weekend..... I am feeling the heat already....

The air-conditioning is going to be installed next week..... I hope they could come early.....

Portland Rose Festival 2007

Each year in June, there is a Rose Festival in Portland, OR. And it just started for this year on last Thu. They have a Waterfront Village where the fair located at. I went to check out the fair. It is slightly bigger than the other years due to the special 100th anniversary. The weather was nice these couple days and really good to go out. I also went to Hawthorne Bridge to see the fireworks last Friday. With the clear sky and gentle breeze, what else could I asked for?


I also went to the Starlight Parade on Sat. evening. Lots of people were there, hardly could find a spot to watch the parade.

The newest updated

Not much happend lately. I am getting used to live in Portland now. Last Sat. is the first time I went back to Covrallis ever since I came back from Hong Kong. There is not much changes in the C-town. I guess it could be the last time I went back. I was helping my ex-roommate out to clean up her house to prepare for sale. The house looks a lot bigger after all the stuff were gone.

Yesterday, I got a free prescreening movie pass. So, I got a chance to see a movie for free in a movie theatre. I haven't been to a movie theatre for almost three months. Last time was with Vyvy to see a movie on the new year eve.

I am still looking for a job now. Kind of worry since I haven't hear anything good till now. I guess may be I really should lower the standard. However, I do want to get something that is good and have a future with it to begin with. I guess the real world is slightly different and I got to decide what I really want.

A month had passed for Year 2007

Time flied..... a month had already passed in year 2007. Everything seems haven't been changed much. I guess I got to work harder on the changes. Read couple books these days. Mainly regarding financial and how to achieve it. Most authors suggested to study in investment. However, it could be a lot of time. Hope I could have that much time. Especially, I live someone who don't want me to use electricity at night. My working time is limited to daytime now. Harder to achieve what I want to do. But, I guess I have no choice and just try harder. I am trying to working on my daily schedule. So, now I try to sleep before 11pm and try to wake up at arount 7am each day. It is not too hard to go to bed before 11pm due to the no light rule set by someone. But, getting up early may be a little bit harder coz I tend to like to stay in bed for some time.

Year 2006 is leaving... and Year 2007 is coming in two days!

Happy New Year! The Year 2007 is coming. The past year is gone quick. I didn't finish much for the last year. Got to work hard for this year..... can't lacking of like that.... life is so short and I really shouldn't wasting my time. Good luck to everyone and hope all of you guys have a new year resolution!

My other blog

OK, I am writing this just to let my friend know that I would update my MSN blog more often than this one. I really don't have that much time to update so many blogs at the same time. And I like that feature that MSN has for the photos album. It is easier to share photos with friends with those photo album feature. Coz it is hard to upload the pictures one by one on this blog while I had too many pictures that I took for the last two months in HK and China. For only Beijing, I took almost 600 photos in total. Even though I haven't sort it out yet. But, it should be about couple hundred photos that I have been taken in HK. I will still update this blog from time to time. And also I would write my blog in both Chinese and English in the MSN blog. I would just keep writing English on this one coz I type a lot faster in English than in Chinese. Just click on the link under my profile picture, it should has an item for "My other blog on MSN" or something. Leave me comments and let me know which way you could like better. I wrote the blog mainly just share things and story with friends so your input would be valuable. Thanks in advance!

I am BACK!!!!

Finally I had set foot in my grandpa's house..... back to US for real.....

sigh~ Long vacation finally over...... Outside is rainning.... I guess this is the feature for Oregon... I should say Goodbye to the sunny days that I had in HK....

Back to US

OK.... when I was writing this post, I am currently at the Korean International Airport..... still waiting to get on the plane back to US....

More news to come..... less me comment or message if you are interested my trip (only for my friends) :)

Currently News

I am still in HK. It is almost three weeks already. Kind of getting used to it now. I went to a lot of places and visited some of my relatives. Kind of busy for the last two weeks. Finally got my new HK id yesterday. Still have to wait for my aunt to get the travel visa to China. Probably I will visit China some time soon. My grandparents are coming back to HK next week. My grandma is interested to go on trip to China. I might go with her and my mom.

The HK weather makes me feel tired so easy. I don't really like to go out that much. I guess I may stay home more often starting from next week since I already visit so many places for the last two weeks. I went to Hong Kong Museum of History last Wednesday. It was free admission for every Wednesday. It moved to a new place just opposite of the Hong Kong Museum of Science. It is bigger than what I expected. A lot of interesting things showing inside.

By the way, my ex-roommate mentioned about my phone in the comment of the last message. I actually suspensed my cellphone service. And I would reconnect it when I get back from Hong Kong. So, if you want to know about my news, either check out my blog or email me.

Back to Hong Kong

I am currently in Hong Kong right now. The first week was quite busy. I went to the Hong Kong Disneyland for the second day after I arrived in Hong Kong. My Dad got a special promotion for HK Disneyland, otherwise, I think I won't visit it. It is way too small. But the fireworks at night still pretty. I got a chance to take a picture with Snow White. However, it was too bad that I still missed a chance to take picture with Mickey Mouse. I missed it when I visited the Disneyland in LA.

I also went to the Peak last Tue. Didn't take the peak train coz it is more expensive than the bus. I also went to Stanley street on last Sunday which also the national day for China. Sooooooo many people on the street..... still soooo hot in Hong Kong.... Almost 30C in HK....

Still planning to go somewhere... may be the weather was too hot in Hong Kong.... it is easy to make me feel tired....

Probably gained some weights already.... keeping eating too much in HK....

I took some pictures but, I can't upload it right now since I just using the computer in the library. Thinking about to get internet at home, but there are lots of small details along with the internet service providers in here.... and they require to pay bill with credit card.... I don't quite want to do that since the credit card company will charge me extra for the diffrent of the currency....

Stay or Not?

When I first come up the idea to go back to HK, I did think about to stay there for couple years and get a job there. My mom sure want me to stay there coz I can take care of her if I do so. But, to be honest, it is hard to find a job in HK especially for the field that I have been studying about. And the paid will be a lot less compare to the US. I believe in HK, for the new college grad. is about 9K~10K HK dollars average for their salary. It would be a lot less compare to here. The median salary range is about $45K per year in US in US dollar. Even when I was at intern couple years ago, I got paid about $3K per month. So, kind of hard to imagine that the salary at HK. My aunt (my uncle's wife) told me to reconsider about staying in HK coz the salary range is a lot less. When I think twice, it is hard for me to decide if I want to stay in HK or not. For visit for sure since I haven't see my parents for three years.

I believed if I planned better at the beginning, may be I won't end up how it seem right now. But, it is too late for it, I guess I need to come up some alternatives and hopefully they will work.

The best way to put off the HEAT!

Anyway, in this summer for the day that is over 90 or 100 degrees, what would you do to put off the heat? Here is a suggestion!



Would you like to compete for it? A nice ice-stick..... hehe....

Misc. for July

Regarding writing the blog, I still think it is easier for me to write in English. Even though I don't to accept this, my chinese is getting worst. My daily life don't really require using any chinese.... speaking is still okay since my roommate already came from Hong Kong. But, at work or other places, English is the first language that I would use. Hope I will get back my chinese writing skill by the time I go back to HK.

Last weekend was my grandpa's birthday. The whole family gone to have lunch together. They were planned to have dinner. However, my grandpa got sick and couldn't make it. At first, I needed to work on Sat. Since they changed the plan, I was able to go to the p-town to join them. We took some pictures, but I realized that since I am the one who bring camera for the family gathering, I wasn't in most of the pictures. Even I asked my relatives to help me to take picture, I guess they are not uses to my camera and the pictures always (like 8 out of 10) came out not focus. I can't even print those pictures...... so sad.... :(

By the way, it seems like my aunt changed her mind that she might be able to go to HK with me. So, I guess I may wait for her and go to HK either the end of Sept. or the early Oct.

七月的過去﹐八月的來臨

不知不覺間﹐七月已過去了。八月的來臨﹐意味著暑假快要結束了。 看來我也要快點訂機票回港走一會﹐我已很久湧有回港﹐上一次已是三年前的事了。 不知香港變成怎麼樣﹐三年雖不算是很長的時間﹐但也不算短。 希望我還會認得回家的路。 我也可順度換新的身份證﹐或許看看新建的迪士尼樂園。 我曾到過在LA的迪士尼樂園﹐香港的應該會很不同的﹐希望不用排太久才可玩那些機動遊戲。

最近的近况 -- 七月的更新

好耐冇update個blog. 不是因為忙﹐只不過是惰懶了小小。可能因為天氣熱﹐唔想郁。 唔知我香港的朋友有冇掛住我既消息。 我近排要返通宵班﹐所以日夜時間顛倒﹐所以日間的反應比平日慢小小﹐徐些之外一切正常。近日電視又播"神鵰俠侶",令到我心思思再拿出本書再生一次. 不過今次大陸拍得不錯,看得出製作費不少,D實景又靚,又多特技效果.

上次抄CSI套"法證先鋒"都幾好,制作都算認真,還算不錯. 講講下好以只是講電視劇,但是講真我都幾鐘意睇電視,因為唔使用腦碼.

上星期過百度華氏真是好難過,我不停飲冰水先至可以解下暑,唔知香港個邊熱唔熱,我諗都應該幾熱. 我遲D都諗住番香港行下,不過而家D機票好貴. 都要等過左暑假個旺季先番, 同埋番去換番個身份證先. 報到住咁多先,因為打中文真是很累. 又要諗下個字點寫,又要諗下個碼點,真是用了好多腦力.

Sunny Summer

I was out of town last week. Just visited my grandparnets back in P-town. Therefore, didn't update the blog at all. It was super HOT p last Monday. High up to 105F here in Corvallis.

Last Sunday, I was tring to go to Lincoln City for the super hot day. However, there was a car accident at highway 18 and the polic close down the highway. The poor me couldn't reach the beach and needed to get back home on the same road...... :( Miss the beach soooo much.

Before that disappointed trip to Lincoln City, I went to Cannon Beach on last Friday with my grandparnets aunt. It was so nice. The clear sky with the peaceful sand.

最近的近况 - 五月的後補

最近沒有什麼特別的事﹐我翻看了韓劇"藍色生死戀"。看到差不多大結局時﹐因為實在太慘情,我終於頂唔住要轉去睇"浪漫滿屋" 需然都喺同一個女主角,但喺劇情就輕快得多. 而且得十六集,好快就睇完. 原本仲想睇埋喬妹套"ALL IN",但喺套戲有D悶,睇到十幾集時已經睇唔落去啦!

原本這個post喺五月時開始寫,但喺到七月先至寫完, 都喺因為中間時唔記得咗開咗個頭. 而且寫得唔喺咁詳盡,因為過了兩個月,有D唔記得做咗D乜.

今日想打中文

好耐無打文﹐用了很長時間才打了幾隻字。以前學打的時候都打得幾快﹐現在就差得遠﹐仲要唔記好多字點打﹐恐怕要練番一排先會打得快D。仲有D唔記得咁多中文字點寫﹐希望可以越打越快。

用中文報告下最近的近况先
上星期日母親節﹐我淨係去返工。但是星期六就上左Portland去探我的袓母﹐同屋企人去食飯。因為早去及訂了位﹐才不用在酒樓外呆等。食完飯我的亞姑們又話要落場打幾圈﹐好彩我第三個亞叔出現救左我﹐我先至唔洗陪打足四圈。因為次次同佢地打都俾佢地的聲浪令到我頭痛。好啦﹐打到這裏為至﹐因為實在用了太多時間先打好一段中文﹐或許下次再練下先。

Happy Mother's Day

Anyway, today is Mother's Day. I didn't really do anything special about since my mom is still in HK. I did went to P-town and visit my grandma yesterday and have dinner with the relatives.

It was soooooo sunny today and I really want to stay outside. However, I need to work in the afternoon. I only able to manage to get back in town from P-town and then don't really have any time left to enjoy the weather. And I understand people all stay out or out of town for the Mother's Day. No one even show up in the lab so far. I guess I probably won't see any user show up during my shift. >__<

My roommie is having her wonderful vacation. Good for her...... I got to stuck in the Corvallis. Anyway, someone just show up in the lab while I was typing this message. arrrrrhhhhh....... Things are always so unexpected.
