Signs of Aging

不知不觉中就觉得有些老了，眉梢眼角，芊芊素手，平白就有些不可逆转的生命流程的印迹。

以前看＂滚滚红尘＂， 最显眼而且印象深刻的就是林青霞的手腕，青筋暴露， 虽然她的妆容还显得很年轻。

红颜与枯骨， 相隔也就那么一线。

烟云

又是春天。

还是那条小路， 还是骑车上班，还是一路鸟语花香。

景物依旧， 而人事已非。

可喜的是幼子，一天一天的长大，欢笑，安慰着父母些许的落寞与无奈。

归期漫漫， 何处才是故乡？

"
锦瑟无端五十弦，一弦一柱思华年。
庄生晓梦迷蝴蝶，望帝春心托杜鹃。
沧海月明珠有泪，蓝田日暖玉生烟。
此情可待成追忆，只是当时已惘然。"

Sad

太多的人世沧桑， 悲欢离合...

无题

冷眼看时光飞逝，韶华如水，而上有高堂， 下面稚儿嗷嗷待浦， 综是欢少愁多， 令人感叹浮生若梦 !

纸老虎Baby

我们家的奥运宝宝也快满月了，不再满足于刚开始几天吃了睡，睡了吃的猪猪生活， 开始更高要求了。

比如说今天，吃过晚饭， 非得我抱着才肯睡，一放下就哭。如此三番四次，我琢磨他尿布干干的， 吃得也很饱，决定试他一次：让他哭几分钟。他扯着嗓哭了会， 最后几下音调高高，我觉得熬不住了， 正准备再抱他起来， 突然地就不哭了。 一瞅，已经撅着嘴睡着了，小粉脸还有些气气的样子。

心下窃喜： 总算可以歇会手哪。老公也乐了， 来一句： "我们家Isaac 也是个纸老虎嘛." 笑倒。

莘莘学子, 如我们当年

Orange

Pass by a backyard when strolling along the trail. A young guy is picking oranges from a beautiful tree.

"Want an orange ? Fresh orange ?"
"Sure, they look nice."

An orange was threw over from the fence, with fresh scent.

"Thank you."
"Of course, have a nice day!"

Short conversation, with a lasting human warmth.

BlackBerry Cell Phones

Heard about this fancy cell device for quite a while. Finally we got a pair of BlackBerry phones. Mine is red, Lao-gong's is black.

Love it. Convenient interface, intuitive browsing, 1.3 Gega bytes camera ...plus, fashion.

To know more about it, Google "BlackBerry cell phones", you will find a lot of information.

赛无盐

今天吃了好多辣面酱，嘴巴周围都起了 Rash, 赛无盐。 听说要好久才会慢慢散去。

以后要当心，饮食不可太随意。要不小孩子还没出世我就香消玉殒了也不大好。

Olympic Smiling Face

I had sent Katherine's photo to the olympic "Smiling Face" office, hope she can be chosen.

One of her 3 month photo ( A very cute one) was published in a book "Spirit of the Youth", forgot to brag about it :-)

Is there anyone else as enthusiastic as me about the Olympic game in Beijing?

Puzzle Pieces (2)

She can do better and faster than me now, with the 48 piece puzzles. What an adaptive kid !

小鸽子

两只很漂亮的小鸽子在我们屋檐下安了家。 这几天忙着衔泥筑巢， 来来回回的在我们的玻璃门外穿梭。 看着他们蓝色的小尾巴，听着他们啾啾叫着， 心里格外的温润，似乎，几天前的校园杀戮， 以及，几千里外的战火纷飞，都不曾存在过。

Wikipedia Baby

Another episode about my daughter ---- She can use wikipedia to check the things she wants to know, at a 5.5 years old. Above is an image she found from the site.

This may not be unique, but still a wonderful thing to be recognized by her parents.

After we unpurposely showed her once, she adopted the method and use it to check her favorite names such as "Rhinoceros","Porcupine", "Octopussy" and many many others. She doesn't write very well yet, but she knows the spelling of these words. A lot more than I expected. Sometimes she typed the words into the search dialog box by copying them from her books. I think mostly she wants to see the photos.

Now she starts to transit from fancy nouns to adjectives: "beautiful", "happy", "wonderful"...
As always, she likes words with multiple syllables.

What a joy when she clicks the "Go" button !

Bicycling

最近的一次， 是还在读书的时候吧。和先生每人买了一辆二手自行车，周末兴致勃勃地出去郊游，也是辛苦生活中的一种慰籍吧。那时常有的感想便是：＂囊中羞涩都无恨， 难得夫妻俱少年。 ＂

现在好些了吧，虽然年华似水。骑上我新买的 Bike,带着头盔，仍能有些如飞的感觉。每天蹓达一圈，不觉间精神大进呢。

许多时候，财富并不能给人带来更大的快乐。生命的很多快乐，还是源自那些基本的体验。

Fine Arts

I mentioned in one of my blog articles that there is a convenient road from home to the company. Yes, it is this beautiful path that I walked every day.

Also, there is a pretty lady on the road I met almost every day. Usually she would wear a straw hat with a special but pleasant disposition.We would smile at each other, as warm breeze brushing away.

Finally we stopped and talked with each other today. She is also Chinese ( not surprisely ), works nearby. She just got laid off and her job is outsourced to India. She does web design and Ad design for a local newspaper ( They outsouce too ?). Also she told me her major is "Fine Arts" and she has stayed in US for more than 20 years.

Not sure if I could help her out, but it feels good to make aquitance with a gorgeous lady.

Daytime Savings

It has caused trouble in our corporate calendar. Now meetings appear in lunch hours. Old meeting schedule need to be one hour earlier but new meeting schedule is correct. Corporate leader says the meeting owner need to manually adjust their meetings but direct manager states we must not make time changes as this may cause room conflicts. Is there anything more confusing than this ?

Congressmen are really idiots. What is the point to have the daytime saving one month earlier ? Do we really experience any production boom from it ? There are only 24 hours per day. "Daytime Saving" is another stupid example that how human wants to fight with TIME in vain, in the human history.

It might be another millennium bug. The difference is that we are not prepared this time. Think about those flight schedules. God bless America !

Will IT industries benefit from it again? Maybe.

Chinese New Year Parade

Yesterday we went to San Franicsco downtown by the train. It is a public transportation for bay area people, known as "BART" ---Bay Area Rapid Transmit.

Every year there is traditional Chinese New Year Parade in Chinatown, a big event for Chinese folks in SF. When we got there ,it was already crowded, with cheerful atmosphere. Some people wore the traditional clothes, buying those jade jewelry, silk skirts, lanterns, fans or some other arts crafts which are commonly available in Chinatown. The streets are still dirty, with a lot of booth tents left from the daytime commercial fair.

Restraunts were crowded. Finally we picked a Vietnam restraunt for dinner ---just because it is quieter. It was kind of funny in a forest of Chinese restraunts.

Finally the parade:

3. 孙文: "天下为公"

地震了

昨晚大约 ８：４０左右， 忽有些地动山摇的感觉，当时正要将一只锅放到桌上，所以一时有些恍惚以为是锅掉到了地上震的，但又是那么的不对劲，脚上的地板被来回拉扯了好几下。

也就一愣神的功夫，地平静了。感觉有些惊惶，开了电视，讲以Lafayette为震心，刚过一 4.2 级地震， 而我们离 Lafayette 不过 5 Mile.

加州多震，但昨晚是感觉最大最真切的一次，后来据报也是本地二十五年来最大的一次地震。

阿弥陀佛，不要让两孩子和我们碰到什么更大的才好。

感悟两则

年菜

过年烧了些新的菜，比如香辣鸭菌，干扁鲳鱼，三鲜鱼丸，五香猪舌什么的，都很好吃。 看来是一分耕耘一分收获，做菜需要花时间和心思琢磨，配料齐全，工序正确，火候恰当，菜就会美味。不过，这还离我想要的满桌佳肴的意境还差了些。实在没那么多工夫。

有机化学

高考之后就没再接触了。 现在工作需要开始看看， 发现居然没忘，那些 键，分子式， Valence Rule, Nitrogen Rule 什么的，还能让我兴致嫣然。 记得我高中的化学， 生物方面一直很好。 没专业在这个领域是不是一个错误？数学干净完美，但有时难免枯燥，这许多年，时有同事语吾： ＂尔何择数学哉？＂

Pretty or Cute ?
