Santa Monica

今天跟表弟聊天的時候提到要去Santa Monica出差, 他突然想到Savage Garden的一首歌就叫Santa Monica. 他說這首歌的CD還是他去溫哥華玩耍的時候我送給他的.

原本想不起來的旋律, 一播放後回憶一擁而上....

我的first car

我的first kiss

時間過的真的太快了!

有時候覺得雖然我們都長大了, 可是相處時還是像小時候一樣

還是打打鬧鬧, 沒個正經

不知道未來會不會因為各自走上人生的另一段旅程而相處模式會改變

But for now, let's enjoy being idiots with each other!!

P.S. Thank you Edi for reminding me of the good old days, this one is for you!

1025

Okay, so we all know democracy is flawed, but this weekend I experienced the beauties of democracy: freedom of speech and freedome to assemble.

As I mentioned in my previous entry, I've become so fed up with Taiwan's government that I've decided to go on the street to demonstrate just how unhappy I am.

I'm sure most of you who cares to read my blog knows how difficult it is to be "Green" in Taipei! I mean we practically had to hide our political preference in order to survive this "Blue" city. Of course our national embarassment former president A-bien did not help. When people around you start talking about how crappy A-bien is, there's really not much you can do but to keep quiet.

BUT, as the saying goes, "What comes around, goes around!" Oh yeah...it came around alright, thanks to Mr. Ma and his cabinet.

So on Saturday 10/25/2008, I was a member of the 60,000 people (as reported by the news channel, so give and take 40,000) that took to the streets to demonstrate how pissed off we are at the mess Mr. Ma's government has created, especially how he is selling us out to China.

There were moments during the march that I was so overwhelmed with emotions that tears almost came rushing out. It's one of those experience that can't be describe through words, but must be lived! We Taiwanese should truely be proud of who we are and our independence. The freedom we have today was hard fought and we definitely should not let some idiot handed over to China just like that!

Here are some pictures from that day, you gotta handed to them, they sure are creative in expressing their anger!!

Happy Birthday Uncle Charlie

因為Uncle Charlie (我爸的藝名)的生日, 我們一家人難得有機會可以一起吃飯. 這也是多年來第一次我們全家團圓幫Uncle Charlie慶生, 對於一般家庭這種聚餐可能一個禮拜至少一次, 可是對我們家來說是難能可貴.

曾幾何時父母親的生日變成了一個說不出口的心痛.

每次爸媽生日的時候我總會想到他們又老了一歲, 而與我相處的時間又少了一年.

想到未來沒有他們的日子好幾次都想要留下眼淚...(I know sometimes I think too much)

真希望時間停止在這一刻

Daddy, Happy Birthday!

Blah Blah Blah

It's been awhile since I wrote in my blog.

On one hand I've been super busy with work and life in general, and on the other hand I just lack inspiration. So today I've decided to blab about whatever comes to mind.

Cambodia
I just got back from Cambodia a little more than a week ago, and I must urge everyone to go visit as soon as possible because I truly worry that the lack of conservation by the Cambodian government will eventually result in these sites going under.

Visiting Cambodia has inspired me to create a new goal in life, and that is to visit all the 7 wonders of the world!

When we visited the orphanage at Cambodia, I realize how lucky I am to be surrounded by a group of generous people who are willing to donate their money to help better the lives of the Cambodian children.

Politics
Lately I've been super pissed about Taiwan politics. It has prompted me to do something I've never thought about doing in my life, and that is I plan to attend a protest, if everything goes to according to plan, I will be marching at the end of Oct., I will keep everyone posted! If anyone wishes to join me, let me know!

I can understand that the economy is in shambles due to world economy, but selling us out to China right away is just sick! Let it be Taiwan or let it be Republic of China, just don't let us be Taiwan, China!! (I wonder if this blog entry will trigger some kind of alert to the Chinese government, and that they'll refuse entry the next time I go to China...)

This brings me back to my visit to Cambodia, the Cambodian people are poverished, but I can tell they are proud of being Cambodians, and they are proud of their country. Look at us....we can't even be identified as a country....this is so god damn sad....

Life
Time flies by just way too fast. It's only the second week of Oct., but my schedule has been arraged till mid-Nov. Sometimes when I stop for a brief moment, I realize I don't even want a brief moment in my life. I want to live everyday to the fullest. Somehow I think I have a problem. This never ending pursue of things to do. Maybe I need someone to slow me down...but then again maybe I need someone to keep up with me.

Okay, I'm done blabbing, and thank you for actually reading through the whole entry to get to this point.

You're my true friend! (GO "20TH CENTURY BOYS"!!!)
