难得很荣幸的被邀请到西门和斯得喜的家,听说是新房子,大家都很期待。这可是我第一次那么正式的以同工身份出席社青以外的活动,有点害怕,虽然我口说害羞,但不出10分钟我通常能处得自在。
我厚脸皮的告诉萝卜夫妇我要与他们一块儿去,一方面不需要独自开那么远的车子,另一方面还有个伴。还好他们人很好,没有拒绝我,呵呵。一路上的交谈让我发现原来我和萝卜对事情的看法和观察相似,萝卜嫂的神经很大条,人很单纯直接,和他相处常常会让你啼笑皆非,她的一针见血有时能让你哑口无言,但很多时候你会感谢她那种的单纯和可爱,我这么说绝对没有贬义。最近我们俩的神经也很大条,偶尔查经到一半会疯狂大笑,吓坏我们的弟兄了,哈哈。
萝卜嫂也在车上把我给‘辅导’了一番。哈哈。
那个下午,我和萝卜嫂都有同感,斯得喜的开放让我们更认识她,并见识到她疯狂的一面。典型幸福的小妇人,每天为夫婿和儿子们打点一切,西门说他已经18年没有自己洗过衣服,像话吗?哈哈。但斯得喜乐得很,她的生活也很充实,老实说,她是有点38啦,哈哈,我们可以较量较量,哈哈。萝卜嫂还打趣地说平日的斯得喜给人的印象就是在星期天崇拜时专注的望着很会弹琴的四门,对我们这些家伙视而不见,更别说打招呼啦,那周六她好像变了个人,哈哈。
很好的相聚,认识在教会里的一些人尤其是那群女士们。他们关系很紧密,又可爱,又有点三八,难得的是她们除了爱上帝,也向身边的人给与关怀,女人就是有这种本事!

大同饭锅
处理了鸡肉,把新加坡式海南鸡饭香料倒进饭锅,按了按钮,开始啦!不到5分钟,那按钮跳起,转到‘保温’设置,我连续按‘cook’好几次都得到同样的结果,同时我也拼命掀开锅盖看那米饭和鸡肉是否已经煮熟,我的天啊,一点都没有被‘煮过’的样子!折腾了30分钟,林先生和苏小姐终于回来,哎,问了一下才知道需要在饭锅内加水。记:大同饭锅内的锅子不是紧贴着锅身的,所以这两者之间有空隙,和我们一般在东南亚用的设计不同,他们都称我们那种饭锅为西式饭锅,哪有啊!
饭煮好了,鸡肉也熟了,饭有点湿,不过味道还好,由于之前担心无法用饭锅把所有的鸡肉煮熟,我便利用另一个大锅来煮鸡打腿肉。我的妈妈弄的白斩鸡真的超棒,肉滑熟度恰好,不愧是老妈拿手的好菜, 老妈还爱夸她的AMC锅;所以我常告诉2日后就把AMC当成我的嫁妆送给我。老妈中年时也偷偷买了许多种锅,但有不舍得用,哈哈。
那天,我们为DC庆祝他的大寿。这样算啦,我们这群了也有快3个月没有小聚了,这回大家又再聚圣地亚哥,彼此所经历也不少。DC大哥虽然过去几个月过得十分不容易,但感谢上帝能让他和jeanine 依然晓得他们需要仰望信靠神,也谢谢上帝一路来的陪伴。
苏小姐气色还是很好,她的回来难免也让林先生脸上挂上更多的笑容,他们前面的挑战和试探看来也挺折腾的,希望上帝让他们晓得该如何在这大事小事上荣神益人!
那天晚上我吃了太多了,实在不像话!鸡饭,麻辣土豆冷菜,okonomiyaki, 一片巧克力蛋糕,两大块黑森林蛋糕,一个松子豆沙酥,一个黄梨酥,一罐Heineken,几杯茶。哈哈。好可怕啊!但吃的很开心也!
需要注意一下腰围的扩展哦!

Building a Cathedral
My genius big bro at work is really awesome. He shares the 2012 dept plan and it looks very impressive. What is more exciting is that he called it The Art of a Frogger. <Come on, 3 of us do not know what that is. Apparently we belong to the younger generation> . He uses lilypad and logs. haha.
I responded to the team saying that this envision us to the 'end point'. Now i feel better and motivated on the skunkworks. haha.
My wise manager then replied with a story.
Build a cathedral, because it's way more awesome (a parable of three stonecutters)
Here is what Bill wrote at the end...

My wise manager then replied with a story.
Build a cathedral, because it's way more awesome (a parable of three stonecutters)
Once upon a time, there was a traveler who came upon three individuals working with stone. Curious as to what the workers were doing with the stones, the traveler approached the first worker and asked, “What are you doing with these stones?” Grumpily and without hesitation the worker quickly responded, “I am a stonecutter and I am cutting stones.”
Not satisfied with this answer, the traveler approached the second worker and asked, “What are you doing with these stones?” The second worker paused for a moment, sighed, but smiled a little and then explained, “I am a stonecutter and I am trying to make enough money to support my family.”
Having two different answers to the same question, the traveler made his way to the third worker and asked, “What are you doing with these stones?” The third worker stopped what he was doing, bringing his chisel to his side. He looked at the traveler with a beaming smile on his face and declared, “I am a stonecutter and I am building a cathedral.”
OK, maybe a cathedral is a bit lofty, but I really believe you guys are at the front end of quite a few new business and technology opportunities that offer very exciting growth the IPG. I feel very lucky to have such a great team and to have all these opportunities in front of us!

总统节长周末
周五我觉得有点感冒似的,而且又睡不够,有点累;越南咖啡果然差点促成我与大家吃饭,不过当Saw人问我有任何大计时,我马上改变主意到他们家吃饭!呵呵。机会所剩不多,要好好把握。
调皮的 Isaiah 爱把我叫成 Aunt Susan,呵呵,日后我一定会想他哦!药材味道的猪臂肉配上烘烤的茄子zucchini ,很好吃也!他们也弄了我爱吃的guacamole,我 hardcore 到买salsa 上门,就是想让他们自制guacamole。还有一个很好的惊喜就是我带了巧克力大理石蛋糕,好吃极了!这家的蛋糕和muffin的甜度没有一般美国食品高,我爱死了!看来我需要再光顾买个香蕉核桃蛋糕,噢,我爱吃这类传统的蛋糕,没有姆斯(mousse), 没有乳酪,简单的奶油蛋糕!
周六一大早去了Cowles Mountain, 一如往常,人好多啊。我喜欢他的 intensity,让我稍微喘不过气来,享受这种快速的运动,还好hiking buddy的体能也不相上下,我们还挺高兴的!预查前来碗玉米汤,接着几个菠菜芝士quiche, lemon honey水,丰富的查经讨论,感谢神。
来了SD快15个月,竟然连 La Jolla 都没有去,太不像话了,所以我执意要带小红出门,让她发挥功用。小红身形小,没有一般的黑道老大那么笨重,也比一般的傻瓜优秀,她介于‘专业’ 与 ‘完全不懂’ 之间,并且可以转换 ‘眼睛’ 看世界。
我不爱摄影,只是既然已砸钱在小红身上,不用还真浪费,偶尔还需要带大出门,不然他日需要她绽放光芒时我会很糗,无法捕捉上帝那浩大完美的创造。次莹小姐,你应该猜得到小红是什么玩意儿吧?还是不能?LUMIX® GF3C 也。
走了约1个小时多,太阳也晒够了,喜欢一些岩石的模样,依然没有很完美但他的凹凸不平凸现了她的美,当然你必须要从不同的角度观看。摄影就是这样咯。那天傍晚我又到4S 附近找野花的倩影,脚酸死了。
午餐时间。我吃了猪腰虾丸粿条汤和萝卜糕!等了好久的萝卜糕没有让我失望,呵呵,还好还好!我们接着到 TorreyPines去了。这回比较有时间慢慢的赏花,野花的种类好多,听说3月会开得更旺盛。
那天从上午10.30 到傍晚5时,我感觉我就快爆炸了。他们不是提起YY的名字,我心里觉得有点不好受,觉得纳闷和失望。可能这也是上帝将他旨意向我显明的一个方式。难道不顺我意我便可以不欢嘛?我应该有更大的度量去承受这眼前一切,为的是塑造一个更成熟更贴近神心意的我。我的他也许真的迷失了或没钱买票回来与我相聚,赶快醒悟吧!呵呵,又发疯了。
过后的饺子大会也很过瘾。还好有些可以让我胡说一通的人在场,虽然我牙尖嘴利,偶尔言辞有点刻薄,不过他们还是对我很好、很包容。我吃了很多也,不过包饺子、煮饺子和吃饺子的时光都很有趣,大家拼命的挖料。最后AW也分享了他的大计,我啊毫不留情的问个究竟,其实我没有因为反对而反对,我只是希望大家稍微想深入一点,呵呵。他们应该会觉得我尖酸刻薄,太直接了。拜托,面对AW需要一针见血,而且现在大不如前,不能老是把以前那一套往我们身上套啊!
周一赖床赖的很厉害,1030才甘愿起来,晨跑的计划也泡汤了。不过我花了些时间好好整理我的房间!真是太多垃圾了!不过清理得很开心。然后又忙着洗衣准备晚餐材料,匆忙的搞定食物就冲出去跑了个55分钟,今天跑上Carmel Valley Road的大斜坡,好自豪哦。530分的Pilates课只有两个学生,所以今天可算是Private Lesson。我喜欢Marianna 因为她会纠正你的动作,她是巴西人,呵呵,另一位女生以为我是泰国人,呵呵。拉拉筋还真不错。
在长周末结束前,我也与Danica 约了要一块儿吃韩国烤肉,又来!呵呵

白绿色的对比 凹凸不平但依然美丽
星期天上午我只觉得我的双脚很累,哈哈。难得我们今天要去horizon,好开心哦!Horizon没有我想象中的那么绚,较 Maranatha 和 EFC 相比,他有点纯朴。不过好还啦,最重要是敬拜神!那3个男生的配搭也很不错,歌声好咧!

情人节
到底发生什么事?为何去年我都不觉得V-day 的气氛浓郁,今年到处都高调谈论,哎,没有情人的情人节也。呵呵。
Saw人很甜,带了个coated with 巧克力的草莓送到我的桌前,还递给我3颗巧克力。
皇后更绝。我开心地打印我心爱的SundayTimes文章,出乎我意料的是最后一张的背面竟然有个爱心和香吻。我大笑起来。好一个惊喜。
先前Jcai的情人节密语我也在上一篇诉尽了。
RonB也很大方地告诉我他对太太做了什么,呵呵。如果关系不好,我想他才不理会我的询问呢。
最让我感到莫名的兴奋和意外的竟然是我和房东一家一块儿去吃情人节大餐!笑死我了。房东太太硬要先生带她出外用餐庆祝情人节!呵呵。这先生为人老实,不搞花样,脚踏实地,当然连结婚纪念日也记错了,所以每次都把太太给气昏。哈哈。可惜当晚ShienOsaka 人多,不然我又可以吃到我心爱的日本餐。不过也好久没有到Panda Buffet,我还是喜欢亚洲食物,热腾腾的,我吃了2只炸鸡翅膀哦,太高兴了!

春的气息
春天,我喜欢春天。最近一直看到五彩缤纷的野花绽放光芒,觉得太奇妙了!雨水的滋润和阴凉的天气造就了这些美景,这更是全能的创造主所眷顾和赐福给人类的。哈利路亚,赞美主!
下回我会带着我的相机去照野花,yes!
Today I am in charged of the power point during Sunday Service. It was my first time doing that. Most people find this change is refreshing and it improves the whole flow of the service. I think so too. Hehe... so those effort spent in formatting and getting it right is worthwhile. I am unsure if it is going to continues in this fashion but I will try my best to contribute. and i hope it wont impose unnecessary pressure on the next person who is doing that, only if they care. hehe... Ming told me that i will be scheduled to lead worship starting from Mar. hehe... I prefer to serve God in that area and I hope I can glorify His name too.
今天我也做了新菜,自豪极了。煮的开心,吃得满足,而且也蛮健康的!呵呵.
对了,今天我也买了可爱的 tea cookies 给那些好心帮我的technicians 吃。希望他们会喜欢!
星期一来咯!JK说要一起去喝酒喔!哈哈。

Timely reminder
Job 31: 4 “Does [God] not see my ways, and count all my steps?”
Stay free from those which are unpleasing in His eyes for we are accountable to Him. He sees it - what we do or not do, see or not see, && what's on our mind.

Living Pleasures
This week I tried to eat differently, as in... sandwiches! kekek. I do not think it is healthy but it definitely saves some time especially the preparation.
I bought this Mexican torta bread, chicken breast meat with mayonnaise, avocado, tomato, green pepper, apricot and cranberries. Simply awesome! No butter spread, just the ingredient. And i experienced with asparagus and button mushroom also. I can literally taste the original taste of the food. Nice.
Nevertheless i do not think i will eat it for weeks since bread is carbo, that is too much for me. hehe... plus, i like to eat bagels. oops. i had 2 with cream cheese spread this week. horrible ah but i like it.
Today i had my happy food too. the coconut tart from Pangea Bakery. I don't really like their bread but this coconut and yam thingy are my soft spot. I bought the tart but not the yam bread though very tempted!!!
Okie, i will hold my breathe for the yam cake some time soon. kekeke.
We went Cowles Mountain for a morning hike. It was drizzling and surprisingly there were a lot of people there! Come'on. San Diegans, They like to exercise, don't they? haha. I enjoyed the intense hike, the elevation changes pretty fast and the whole trip is about 1 hr. Good workout! and I wanna do that again!
Side track a bit, I crave for dumpling or wanton recently. So cool that today CLing is having a therapist meet up and they plan to make dumpling! whoohoo... I was invited to go. Well, we actually made the dumpling before the gathering. It was a nice experience and i was kind of getting a hang on how to wrap it nicely. kekeke.
We visited Steve & Cassie. Oh, both of them have BLUE eyes. Soooooo attractive. hehe. even the baby Delibica or DJ that inherit the blue eye too! Pretty. Those peeps do not look like therapists to me though. muahahha...
Steve made Glühwein !!or they called it Mulled wine here. OMG. hehe.. I hate this expression but that was definitely a great surprise and bonus for me. I love it. He put cinnamon, raisin, apple, orange and RUM! Shiok. i like it a lot. kekekek. that brought a big smile on my face la... kekeke
Then after everything, I went to ranch99. True enough, it looks like a zoo on weekend. there were so many people. I happily picked up the bamboo shoot, pickled 榨菜, chicken, Korean daikon, beef tendon ball, dumpling & carrot. I am going to invent new dish, inspired by Cling and Ying2. hehehe.... loving'it.
Ya, today is better. As in i recovered from being slight depressed. Life is still good and beautiful. Please focus on what God has granted to me for those are all grace. Amazing and wonderful grace. We talked about how flexible to be at the current life stage and true enough, you can go and do and eat whatever you like. Financially you do have more flexibility and less liability. Accountability wise you may not need to report your whereabouts, but we gotta be careful with our choices. hehe... nothing is without consequences, so do it responsibly!
Yup, refreshing even though this is not a 'new' thought!

Sisyphus
I feel that I have a need to blog about my skunk work. hehe... it had progress, just that not as much as we thought. Still, that is progress.
MarcR was saying we need a name for it. Alright, can i name it 'chat kuay tiao'? haha. that is my reflex. Please dont name it as any galaxy etc, those are aliens to me.
Interestingly he suggested Sisyphus. It was a Greek mythology. It was about a king was punished and he was told to push the boulder up to the hill. Despite his effort, the boulder kept rolling downward whenever he tried. A
Ah well, my thought is that... although it is a skunk work, eventually we hope that one day we can package it and showcase to our partners on the solution and value we offer! The story of Sisyphus seems to imply that the work will be in vain since you will never reach the summit. Then what is the point?
hehehe... MarcR still wants to use it and he created the logo below and we are going to print stickers of it and paste it on our GoldenGate testbed. haha.
First trial on SP22 was good, at least things are moving. hopefully we can shake the whole IHPS and PTP man. haha.

感觉不太好
其实我实在不喜欢这样的感觉,似乎被自己他人欺骗了一样,是背叛吗?我不懂。是好玩吗?我觉得有点无聊。我不晓得该如何潇洒的面对,因为我不知道事情的来龙去脉。哎,上帝知道。怎么让我觉得我好像嗅到安德鲁先生的背影呢?
昨天因为想到gliderport让我兴奋得不小心摔了一跤,伤势没有很重,但还挺明显的。这样的事也可是置之不理,真棒!我也太爱撒娇了,呵呵。天哪。
好吧,一切要学习交托。神造万物各按其时,各样事情都有它的定律和时间,耐心等候必欢呼喜乐!
明天爬山,包饺子去!

Progressive Dinner
This is an event within Harvest group. Basically the ‘cooking’ group is formed by the 2nd year, junior students and young adults. Then the freshies and the seniors will form the ‘eating’ group. Each group is supposed to have appetizer, main course, and dessert for the night. Usually the cooking team will come out with a theme and they prepare the food and dress up accordingly to the theme. As eaters, we travel to 3 places for different ‘meal’. Hehe… that was nice.
Originally Isaac & I were to be team up with others to cook, but who knows they assign us to be the driver. Well, not too bad. I can still serve God with my car! Hehe… also, in the name of knowing others in Harvest group, I thought that was nice. It is slightly different from NTUCCF, I mean the language barrier and the education system. Apparently they are from UCSD and mainly are bio-related. I am really out of their field. Also, mostly are ABC, so… it is a bit trying to know them.

Alright. Cats. I like their dressing. So cute. In fact the simple crackers with hummus and smoke salmon with cheese was yummy. We had a decent 30min interaction time with the group. Then we went to the Cheng.
btw, we did not get to talk to the allboys group too much. Hehe…
The chocolate lava cake was super duper rich till I am a bit cannot take it. As for the French vanilla ice cream, it was so smooth. I enjoy It without the salted caramelized almond. Hehe.
I seriously feel like puking due to the rich chocolate. But since it was a little embarrassing to wait food, so I have to force myself to finish it the rest of the team finished it faster than I am!! So I was stressed out
圣雅的第一次
I dedicated my 2 first time to EFCSD on the week of Jan 22.
Cooking.
Yeah, I prepared dinner for the YAF folks. It was a mad rush as I need to buy the material, marinate it the day before, cut the vegetable etc and went to church 2 hrs earlier to cook! It was fun though. Haha. Though my dear friend think I won’t make it. I made it! Whoohooo. I like the baked curry rib, yummy! I like the fried beehoon, the second wok. Simply delicious! As for the soup, hmm it was not sweet. So I am quite disappointed by that.
Anyhow, that was a good achievement. I like how some appreciate the curry rib though they can’t really take hot and spicy food. I appreciate the nice gesture, so sweet. Then there was a hard-core curry fan who would even ate the curry oil. Duh. Haha.
Leading
Due to the fact that Ming is not free, I get to give my first public worship leading in the church setting. The experience was good, from learning to say No to the pre-select song to add in some tricks during the leading.
Thank God for the openness and partnership with others. Also, I have 2 vocalists who supported me. That was nice. More than I can ask for. I am also delighted to know that people are being ministered by the songs. Praise the Lord.
It all turned out well and God shall take the highest honour and glory. Many thanks to the encouragement and prayers from others. It was indeed a fun ride.
High IQ
Almost 1 month, I finally see some light in the skunk work tunnel. I must first thank God for the progress, it is still better than nothing. Right??
First: offline processed the 2 separate linearization tables
Second: I finally know how to create an alpha color plane for 6 color input
Third: My first ever curve fitting in excel but it is still not as accurate
Printed some plots. Seeing the potential to print on SP22 and everyone thought that is a brilliant idea. I think so too. I have listed 4 progressive tasks, hope we can nail it down one by one.
Reviewed the samples with burns and marc. The bad news is I need to iterate this routine on the right media and figure out the right point for quite awhile. Bummer. Burns said I need something to do during the day. Right… haha
Please please, I want to see things moving on SP22 then XP05. It somehow implies that we might be able to make it to Drupa if things at Sweden had failed terribly in the coming month. Oh man, I need to go Düsseldorf.
That is the conspiracy for now!!
Meanwhile, I need to stay motivated to work on the Golden Gate :D

享受劳苦的成果
今天我到了Carlsbad 瞎拼!之前的 lagoon 之 hike 真是把我给晒死了!呵呵。
竟然能够在 Banana Republic 不知觉的扫了5样物品,口袋烧破了一个大洞。不过我一直想买一件漂亮的 trench coat, 这格子的布料和剪裁让我心仪,4月的DC之行应该大可派上用场,呵呵。虚荣心作祟,真糟糕!然后我也买了2件 sweater, 1 件cardigan, 1 件button top. 我的脚也很痒,竟然走进merrell 买了一双 turquoise 休闲鞋。真是钱没有地方花啊。可是hor, 我也有一阵子没有真么疯狂了。上一回在美国时是在11月,而12月在新加坡大买。哈哈,哪里有很少购物。呵呵
还好啦,花的开心,穿的爽心,生命难道不应该是那样吗?享受劳苦的成果!

"Family"
Lovely families
You know what. It feels so sweet to have people remembered and prayed for you.
Just now, Eric told me that Sharon prayed for me at the dinner table last night. She prayed that I can marry a good husband! And perhaps a tasty meal for the YAF folks last night.
He then asked me to sit with Noah and Rebecca & observed the guy at his 4 o’clock. Devoted Christian and play soccer very well. *faint* he looked quite boyish.
I like to visit the Ng’s. not only I can see NN but also chatting with Y2 is good for unwinding. Ehhe… in addition, Y2 will also share her cooking tips with me and let me sample her dish!! Nice eh, frank has a lovely wife. Heeh…
Reunion dinner
I happened to have 3 invitations on the CNY eve dinner. The ‘family’, Ng’s and Lee’s. I felt so bad that I have to fly airplane on the ‘family’. Yet I am glad that I made the decision to attend the Lee’s. reason being the Leong’s will be there and I thought it might be more fun to hang out with them plus it’ll be my first time to meet Jo! Sharon better be around for that!
Jo is a good cook. She made curry from scratch. She steamed ‘nian gao’, she made bak kwa!! Yes, bak Kwa!! And she use 茨菰 to cook, she brewed chrysanthemum mulberry tea. My spoilt neighbor ah… what a good cook he has at home!! Arianna is very sweet too. I like the way she hugged me. Hehe…
Very nice reunion dinner with big bro and family and the Leong’s. Hmmm I am going to miss the Leong’s since they’ll move to Seattle soon!

J'aime France III
Paris
虽然已经是第3回到访巴黎,尽管我觉得法国的魅力不局限于这首府,但她的魅力风采依然,是否真的浪漫我也就不好说,但这有点熟悉的景点还是让我很惊艳,在微风徐徐的冷天下游走这繁华复杂的城市,可是一种享受。
法语的电影海报和店面布置,喜欢他们的鲜艳。The art of color display!
那夜我老是迷路,就搞不清 Champs-Élysées 到底在哪个方向,脚上的靴子也快折磨死我的双脚,又冷又饿。我真是自作孽,用餐又不用我付账,我还饿着肚子无厘头的寻找想吃的食物,又心想赶快抵达凯旋门,搞了老半天拖到10时才用晚餐,真该死 !不过还是很喜欢凯旋门,想当年我们还站在路中央抹杀许多的胶片,金黄色的,果然有王者风范! 呵呵。埃菲尔铁塔从远处放射出来的光芒是无法抵挡的,同样是金黄色的堂皇,在远出观赏的感觉很辉煌。抱歉,可能用错词,但就是那个意思啦。8年前在夏天夜晚那不安的经历还历历在目,以为同伴迷路了,担心有危险,过后更搞笑的连预先订的房间也没了,三更半夜去露宿另一间旅馆,好一个历险记啊。
试想你一辈子能攀上多少次铁塔呢?所以我下定决心什么都不看,就想要爬铁梯上塔!风还是一样的猛,当年 (12年前) 与二哥一同往上爬时的风势比那早晨更猛!可惜有浓雾,无法好好欣赏巴黎的市貌,哎哟,以后还是有机会的。
在塔下遇到了一群小孩,挺可爱的。
对了,想记述那天在地铁站的事迹。我啊买了票向等前面的太太先越过闸门,怎晓得她改变想法,站在一旁。接着我有好意的让那随在太太身后的两位黑人过闸,但他们却说让我先走。他们趁我不注意的时候紧贴着我过闸了,我好气愤啊!其实他们根本没有买车票,他们只是等待机会免费过关乘搭地铁。哎,难道巴黎真的那么好吗?若生计是问题的话,还待在这儿干吗?
我有点多事与无聊,但我觉得这些都照得挺不错的。呵呵。还颇有美感啦。
罗浮宫。黑白Vintage 的效果很好也!
