So sick

2011-04-18T00:22:00.003-05:00

I am feeling really home sick.That's what I thought until I realized maybe I'm feeling youth sick.I keep having dreams where I can rewind time.I'm so fed up with my thoughts these days.

2010

2010-12-13T21:24:00.003-05:00

1981 was almost 30 years ago.You'll never again meet someone someone like me, she said.And she was right. Perspective of a few years is a blessing and a bitch.

2006 I graduated, and then left Canada.2007 I worked hard, made new friends, started to figure out the future2008 will be what kind of year?Settling into Silicon Valley, travelling for work to Taiwan/Japan/Kansas City, playing hockey, rock climbing, working, working working, meeting Gladys, Thu, Mike, Linda and Gene, Volleyball with Alex & Crew, San Diego, being ignored at the climbing gym by

A song from my favourite j-dorama of all time...

2007-11-21T15:38:00.000-05:00

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to beToo many bitter tears raining down on meI'm far away from homeAnd I've been facing this alone for much too longI feel like no-one ever told the truth to meAbout growing up and what a struggle it would beIn my tangled state of mindI've been looking back to find where I went wrongToo much love will kill youIf you can't make up your mindTorn between a lover

While we're on the subject

2007-11-16T04:24:00.000-05:00

Could we change the subject now?I was knocking on your earsDon't worry, you were always outLooking towards the futureWe were begging for the pastWell, we know we had the good thingsBut those never seemed to last

2007-11-05T13:25:00.001-05:00

I've known you're around. You've haunted my memories and thoughts for awhile. Why are you here? You told me you'd never come. I just wanted hope. Now I've got confusion.And you don't notice it, and won't.

Betrayal

2007-10-27T18:46:00.000-05:00

With whom do we align ourselves. What is it about life, or my perspective on it, that sees trust, but always betrayal following nearby. Is loyalty the most admirable trait? I can't help thinking of the moments that people uwe words like never, always, forever... these words make them a liar. Then in such a place where nothing can really be trusted, is it simply trust that we all seek?

You'd never find out. . .

On the 100% Perfect Girl

2007-04-16T00:25:00.000-05:00

Today I was thinking. If someone asked you what you thought of them - could you tell them the truth? What if you met her?Would you be able to tell her or him?"She might say 'Sorry, I may be the 100% perfect girl for you, but you're not the 100% perfect boy for me.' It could happen, if I find myself in that position, I'd go to pieces. I'd never recover from the shock. I think that's what

The Road Not Taken

2007-03-22T10:30:00.000-05:00

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveller, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn

今日は愛の日何ですが私は一人です。だからどうする？仕事です。会社にいる。でも、友達のチャーリーが助けてくれて私はうれしい。彼女がいませんのでza zangを食べに行く。よかったね？男は一緒にこの日ボンディングする。はははその後ジムに行くかな？Normal日のように普通な日過ごす。去年のはぜんぜん違う。来年はどうかな？この日々ははやすぎ過ごします。

雨の日が好きと思っていた

2007-02-13T13:21:00.000-05:00

昨日雨の中、家に帰ってしまった。でも、私はこういう日が好き。あたたかい雨の中いい気持ちだ。私はHot　Tubに入りたかったけどVolleyballに行けなければなりませんでした。雨の日温泉は最高でしょ？ろ～て～ん～ぶ～ろ～でもアメリカにはないのでそのかわりにHot　Tubがある。Volleyballに行って場所が閉まった。とても残念でVolleyできなかった。でもMaggieさんの家に行って楽しいお話しておいしい晩御飯食べてこの残念なことはよくなりました。Volleyballしなくても、とてもいい夜だった。ところで、先のアイスホッケゲームは俺の勝ちだ！９－０。本当だ。弱いチームだな～はははは。俺たちの力が強すぎるんだろー！

胸に秘めて

2007-02-11T13:39:00.000-05:00

今夜アイスホッケイする。うれしく遊ぶと思います。スケート靴のひもを結んで寒い風がくる。心地いい風だ。この前ゲームやる時でなんかうれしくなった。今日は違うと思うけど。想いについて：「放して放して」って私はこの気持ちに言ったのに。。。私は高校生みたいの不安がある。あの場所、あの頃。このひどい嵐がいつ晴れてる？心に秘められた思い出、それで、歩ける？いつか歩ける。私は自分がずっとそういう人、悲しいと思っております。これを書いて、今さら常識の必要を感じる。

If you have been moving too fast and trying to do too much, you could get a reality check today. Even if you were planning for this to be a social weekend filled with parties, you might not spend as much time relaxing as you thought. Serious issues are rising to the surface and if you tackle them head-on, you'll soon understand what's been holding you back. 私だ。星が私の生活見られるか。。な？

Although you may feel less than practical, others may be relying on you or even demanding your assistance.

Each day provides its own gifts.Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

The year 2006 has come and soon will be gone.I should probably write some kind of retrospective.I'm not really sure how to describe the year to be honest. Different points in time I'd say different things. What happened?I got my first job without an expiration date. I went to Disneyland. I moved to California. I had my heart broken. I had my first promotion. I started playing piano again.

Not much to say, but felt the need to say something.My brother has come to California and left again - back to Calgary where he is forced to exist in the cool sub zero (Farenheit OR Celcius) temperatures. 4800 km round trip, that's quite a drive.

I scored assisted on an early goal to help our team catchup and scored on the next shift on a breakaway (it ended up being knocked out the air by my leg, but hey, I'll take it).Later I was killing a 5 on 3 penalty situation (my team is apparently made up of goons). I blocked a shot, and unfortunately it hit me in the back of the knee.

I paid the attendant, waited for the gate to lift, and drove home with a smile on my face. If only everything else

Psychological Tip by Piet Hein

2006-10-17T17:55:00.000-05:00

Whenever you're called on to make up your mind, and you're hampered by not having any, the best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find, is simply by spinning a penny.No - not so that chance shall decide the affair while you're passively standing there moping; but the moment the penny is up in the air, you suddenly know what you're hoping.

Maybe it's about stringing together all the little things like wearing these pants, or getting to a new level of Dragon's Lair. Making those count more than the bad stuff. Maybe we just get through it. And that's all we can ask for.

Talking to Yeo Eun the other night I realized that rather than blogging I should put my energy into something more constructive. I've been telling myself I should do it for awhile, but I guess I just never got around to it. Write a book.A night on the snowboard helped clear my head.Or freeze my brain?

Fridays

2006-03-03T11:40:00.000-05:00

Friday is a day where I have no class. It was like this last semester.How many people in their upper years have class on Friday? Not too many, or so I believe. I even avoided one course "Simulation of neural-biological systems" because it has a 3 hour lecture on Friday mornings. If it were any other day, I might have taken it! I hope that doesn't make me a 4th year loafer! My other classes are

Saved By The Bell

2006-02-28T09:06:00.000-05:00

Waking up at 9:03am, I missed Saved By The Bell, which my roommate Parthipan usually has on the TV at 8:30. With this knowledge in hand, its hard to drag myself out of bed. Saved By The Bell is an awesome show.I've officially missed so many Biomedical classes that I don't even know what time the class is at - either 10:30 or 10:00. Let's see... last week was IRS, the week before was interview,

I actually lost at fooze... I cannot believe this. I lose to this girl at everything... if everything is minesweeper, and now foozeball.Its her 24th and that's a big one if you ask me.

This brain teaser is driving me insane. Someone asked it to me and I don't have a good answer. Its just one of those simple problems you get from a test like the Descartes or Euclid, but still, I haven't figured out how to do it without brute force.I'll grant a boon to whoever can help me to stop thinking about this by showing me an elegant solution.~A man has two children.He opens college

This morning I'm up early to finish writing a lab report. While some might call what I do procrastination, I call it time compression. If a lab will take me 2 hours to write later on, but 4 hours to write right now, then it makes sense to do it later, correct? An interesting theory on time management skills!I'm off to California this afternoon, which will be my first time there. I'm going to San

I use the assignment sheet to write down all the junk I have to do in order to put some bloody pressure on it to do all the stuff. For this class, I'm doing some software project for the class.

Better to fall, or be stepped on?

Back from Seattle. After surviving to the final interview (5 for the day) I wasn't super confident about getting the job. As a pick me up, I went to Uwajimaya, my favourite Japanese grocery store in the Redmond area.I also figured I should go to the bank to close my Bank of America account, and oddly, pondered what would happen if I was caught in a bank hold up. I left Uwajimaya and went to Bank

I said "Hey, I was walking through DC and I recognized someone from their Blog... weird eh," to which he asked "Did you say hi?"I did not say hi.With the advent of people leaving comments, or just cruising "blog-rings" (like for example the UW blog ring) and the popularity of posting pictures of yourself the possibility arises that you will recognize people you

Overall - a nice conference. The speakers on genomics, and quantum cryptography were good. A few of them had a few good tips, and I learned quite a bit about the research process in general. Overall, the conference felt a tad bit too corporate... this would be my main complaint.I got to go see Telus Mobility Lab in Toronto with Jessica. The lab reminded me of my time at DRS Flight Safety in

Mood is mixed. Maybe I'm just making a mountain of a molehill. I think things will settle down but I then again I thought they were. Slept the night away because I'm just kind of tired at the world and the tricks it plays and has played on people. . .Are those of us who get hurt forever broken? That would be far too tragic or maybe pathetic... I spent too much of the night thinking. I thought

Well its the time of year again when if you are trying to be TOO cool that you're colder than ice you're liable to SLIP and FALL flat on your face. This of course has not happened to me. I don't fall.If you're lucky, it might be a bruise, or a little scratch.Or even, a dot of blood on your nose. So if you happen to be wearing 4-inch heels (definitely not me) rather than giant boots (like me) be a
