May the Hockey God grant our wish and bring us the gold!

The 2 week hockey fans...

I have to admit, I am not really a hardcore hockey fan, but I drive a lot, so I keep an ear on Canucks' Hockey games whenever I am on the road, since 2000.

Getting familiar with terms and players is one thing, getting into the game is another.

Most girls are not into Hockey because they think it is too violent. The winter Olympics has changed that however. I have ran into a few girls who are telling me the results of hockey games, how they did, how disappointed they felt when we lost a game.

"The goalie Bordor didn't do a good job" according to one girl "fan", Bordor? That sounds like lord of rings, you meant Martin Brodeur?

Some girls will comment, "Crosby is hot", or "Ovechkin is hot", but the Ovechkin fan doesn't know he plays for Russia, she thought he is a Canadian.

Granted, people from Taiwan do not pay much attention to Hockey, nor winter sports in general, we are more aware of the political situation or the celebrity gossips in taiwan. Most of us do not know who Wayne Gretzy is (my own mom called hm, "that wayne guy"), why he was carrying the Olympic flame...

That is all fine, this is the only time we can get them to be excited about Hockey, maybe sitting through a game or two, I will take that anyday, the Canadian experience...

Happy for my friends

As another high school friend, my guitar instructor and workout buddy is getting ready to tie the knot. Another best friend is planning his wedding in September. Maybe the last unmarried best friend will get married this December. I am happy for you guys, you have all found the perfect match, but darn it! why do you have to do it in the same year?!!

向前走 - 林強

火車漸漸在起走 再會我的故鄉和親戚
親愛的父母再會吧 到陣的朋友告辭啦
阮欲來去台北打拼 聽人講啥物好康的攏在那
朋友笑我是愛做暝夢的憨子 不管如何路是自己走
OH!再會吧! OH!啥咪攏不驚 OH!再會吧! OH!向前行
車站一站一站過去啦 風景一幕一幕親像電影
把自己當作是男主角來扮 雲遊四海可比是小飛俠
不管是幼稚也是樂觀 後果若按怎自己就來擔
原諒不孝的子兒吧 趁我還少年趕緊來打拼
OH!再會吧! OH!啥物攏不驚 OH!再會吧! OH!向前走
台北台北台北車站到啦 欲下車的旅客請趕緊下車
頭前是現在的台北車頭 我的理想和希望攏在這
一棟一棟的高樓大廈 不知住有多少像我這款的憨子
卡早聽人唱台北不是我的家
但我一點攏無感覺

Olympic Fever

I cant say I was totally excited about the game. I am a supporter of the game, don't like the monopoly that IOC plays and how commercialized it has become, don't like the construction sites around my office...

But, when the time comes, time for Vancouver to shine, it is hard not to be excited by all the activities around town.

When I was at a local pub last night, saw Wayne Gretzky carrying the torch, saw the familiar street lights of Downtown Vancouver, saw how excited ppl are, I think I have finally caught the fever...

The girl at 11:53am

To the girl who comes out to walk her Golden Retriever everyday at 11:53am, I think you are hot, but I am more envious to the fact that you don't need to work during weekdays, maybe you don't need to work at all? How did you get your financial freedom? More importantly, how do i get mine?

每個月都有情人節

網上看到的﹐OMFG﹐情人的錢真好賺...

記情人節(Diary Day):1月14日


在這一天,情侶們會互贈足夠紀錄一整年戀愛情事的日記本,以此象徵兩人將攜手走過未來一年,並留下更多美好回憶。

◎白色情人節(White Day):3月14日

西方並沒有所謂「白色情人節」的傳統,在東方,2月14日女孩送男孩禮物表達情意之後,如果對方也有同樣的好感或情意,就會在3月14日回送女孩一份情人禮物,表示彼此心心相印;如果男孩對女孩沒感覺,只要刻意忽略這個日子,便算是委婉的拒絕。

◎黑色情人節(Black Day):4月14日

雖然並非天下有情人都能天長地久、甚至曾經擁有,但誰說孤家寡人或曠男怨女就不能過情人節?「黑色情人節」就是屬於單身貴族們的情人日。在前兩個月他們或許既沒收到甜蜜小禮物,也沒人可以送巧克力,但4月14日這天,大家共聚一堂,彼此鼓勵、加油打氣,化悲憤為力量,倒也熱熱鬧鬧十分開懷,藉此消除形單影隻的落寞感。

◎黃色與玫瑰情人節(Yellow and Rose Day):5月14日

如果已經到了5月,你的情事還是沒有任何進展,在這一天穿著黃色襯衫或黃色套裝,吃黃色咖哩飯,就是告訴大家「I am still available」的最好暗示。春日融融,將黃色穿在身上,也相當符合季節氣氛。

◎親吻情人節(Kiss Day):6月14日

這是一個屬於成雙成對戀人的重要節日,在這一天,情侶們不必再害羞,可以大大方方地用親吻表達對對方的愛意。當然,花前月下、燭光晚餐等浪漫氣氛,對一吻定情可是很有幫助的喔!

◎銀色情人節(Silver Day):7月14日

銀色情人節,是把你的意中人帶回家給老爸老媽認識,或介紹給其他你所尊敬的長輩的好機會。當然,這一天的全部開銷,都由這些「可愛的長者」買單〈為「安全」起見,你最好先確定長輩對這個節日很熟悉〉。銀色情人節也是愛侶互贈銀製禮品、飾物的日子。

◎綠色情人節(Green Day):8月14日

名為綠色情人節,當然和蓊鬱的森林脫不了關係。酷熱難耐的夏日午后,不妨和你的另一半作一趟涼爽而清新的森林之旅,盡情享受戶外大自然,度過健康而愉悅的一天。還在尋覓愛侶的人,可以參加Soju〈韓國綠牌薯酒〉派對,度過喧鬧的室內綠色情人節。

◎音樂情人節與相片情人節(Music Day & Photo Day):9月14日

音樂情人節這一天是舉辦大型社交活動、輕歌漫舞的日子,也是將你的心上人介紹給朋友、同事認識的好機會。而單身一族,更可以藉此機會看看活動現場有沒有自己中意的對象。許多情侶喜歡在這天就著蔚藍晴朗的天空合影,所以9月14日又稱為「相片情人節」 。

◎葡萄酒情人節(Wine Day):10月14日

10月14日這一天戀人們輕啜葡萄美酒,慶祝充滿詩意的秋天。通常小倆口會選擇在浪漫且別緻的餐廳裡共進晚餐,然後聊聊彼此對未來的規畫,以及共同的目標等話題。

◎橙色情人節與電影情人節(Orange Day Movie day):11月14日

電影情人節這一天情侶們可以連趕兩場電影,或許先看一部緊張刺激的動作發洩壓力,然後再來一部感人肺腑的浪漫愛情片互拭淚水。看完兩人也該補充水分了,來杯健康的百分百柳橙汁吧!單身的人這一天也要喝杯柳橙汁,當然,想喝兩杯才痛快也沒人管得著。

◎擁抱情人節(Hug Day):12月14日

12月14日,想和你的情人抱多久都可以,在公開的場合擁抱,向世人宣告你倆的愛意,也讓寒冷的冬天變得格外溫馨。尤其是那些甜甜蜜蜜慶祝過2月14日華崙亭情人節的情侶,到了年底依然能熱情相擁,也見證了兩人情意如昔。
