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
親愛的父母再會吧 到陣的朋友告辭啦

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...
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。

南海姑娘
找了好久的歌, 鄧麗君唱的, 很好聽, 想像熱帶的南洋..
椰風挑動銀浪
夕陽躲雲偷看看見金色的沙灘上
獨坐一位美麗的姑娘
眼睛星樣燦爛
眉似新月彎彎
穿著一件紅色的紗籠
紅得像她嘴上的檳榔
她在輕歎
歎那無情郎
想到淚汪汪
濕了紅色紗籠白衣裳
哎呀 南海姑娘
何必太過悲傷
年紀輕輕只十六吧
舊夢失去有新侶做伴
她在輕歎
歎那無情郎
想到淚汪汪
濕了紅色紗籠白衣裳
哎呀 南海姑娘
何必太過悲傷
年紀輕輕只十六吧
舊夢失去有新侶做伴
A confession from far far away...
Okay, read this on the internet, do not judge this young man until you finish reading the whole confession...
*****************DISCLAIMER************************************
NOT MY STORY, BUT TO UNDERSTAND THE JOKE, YOU HAVE TO WATCH STARWARS, AND YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHOSE DAD IS DARTH VADER...
******************************************************************
'm just sharing my story because people asked...
Wow... okay, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to tell anyone about this, but it's late and I'm sleep deprived so i guess I'll just write it now and regret it in the morning
First of all, - just for some background: My mom died right when I was born, (she was actually really, really hot- but this isn't about her. I guess that's messed up to say, but whatever.) I actually grew up with my dad's family, because my dad has all sorts of emotional issues and he bailed before I was born. So you can see, my childhood was really kind of messed up.
Anyways, growing up I feel like there was always a lot of distance between me and my sister. When I was about 17 or 18 I first noticed that my sister was a hottie.
I don't want to go into to many details about it, but basically what happened is that I accidentally found a video that she made of herself. I knew she didn't make it for me- but I thought she was so beautiful that I watched it twice. (probably would have watched it a hell of a lot more, except that like right around the time I found the video, all this crazy ***** went down and I had to leave home. (My dad's family who I was staying with got in bad trouble with the law. I never talk about it).
Sooo... I was totally lusting after my sister at that point. She was also having bad trouble with the law. She was actually in custody when I left home.
My friend and I went to go pick her up. When I saw her that day, after seeing the video, I have to be honest, I just wanted to f' her brains out. Looking back on it now, it's pretty messed up- but I think she had feelings for me too. She actually kissed me right after we came to get her... and it wasn't a sisterly kiss, you know? I mean, it wasn't like ridiculously sexual or anything, but it definitely wasn't sisterly.
After we left, we all went to crash with my Sister's friends. On the trip there, my friend sort of implied that he wanted to get with my Sister, and I got a little jealous. He's a good looking guy- and even though she was my sister- I just felt like he was competition. Not much else happened between us for a while except some maybe-sexy hugging.
Pretty much everyone in my life at that point was wanted by the government, so we all moved around a lot. I'm not saying that I'm proud of it or anything, but it was kind of an awesome time.
My friend and my sister never hooked up I don't think- but I thought there was some serious sexual tension going on between them. It was around that time that I got really badly hurt in an accident. It was *****ed up. I almost died. But when I was in recovery my sister came to see me, and out of the clear blue sky she started gives me this awesome, slow, passionate kiss on the lips.
Sadly (although, I guess for the best) nothing ever came of it. We spent some time apart... and I started to get really religious, so I tried not to think of her that way. It was actually going well for a long time- like I was totally over her. But I have to say, like a year or so after all that stuff went down, we were out sailing (not like a date or anything romantic like that), and she was wearing like the hottest bikini I've ever *****ing seen and it brought back all the old feelings. Sigh.
A little while later she actually wound up with my friend from before (the sexual tension guy). I can't say I was surprised.
But even after she was shacking up with my friend, there was one time we were at a party... my friend was inside, and my sister and I were outside alone. It was a really intimate moment. I think something might have happened, except that I killed the mood when I told her that Darth Vader was our father and that I had to go face him.

When I was a kid...
When I was a kid, I dreamed of going up to space, and touched the stars.
I dreamed of operating the crane, the big yellow machine that picks up debris and knock down buildings.
I promised my grandma, that one day, I will buy a convertible car and take her out for a spin.
When I was a kid, I couldn't imagine by the time I turned 23, it would be in the 21st century!

喜歡愛...
昨天有個朋友問我, 什麼是愛, 什麼是喜歡, 我一開始以為愛比喜歡多了點對未來的期望, 但如果這樣說, 很多人, 包括我的初戀就不算愛嗎? 也不對, 聊到後來, 我也糊塗了, 到底什麼是愛, 是那種小鹿亂撞的感覺? 還是為他開心的感覺?
大概很久沒愛過了, 也不是很記得那是什麼感覺, 也說不上來跟喜歡有什麼不一樣, 但就愛一定是多一點, 好像回憶中有發生過, 趕快把舊的照片挖出來, 那個笑容是不是戀愛中的笑容? 感覺很遠了...
我有愛過吧?

你們不要走...
新的一年代表又是一年的好事, 各個朋友結婚的消息像潮水撲了過來, 現在才一月, 應邀的婚禮就有五個, 還不包括已經訂婚, 尚未決定時間的人. 說也起怪, 好像朋友結婚都專選我單身的時候...
幾天前, 和準新郎以及其他的朋友在吃飯的時候, 默默的發現, 這桌的朋友又都是以結婚, 或是將結婚的, 感覺好像這些高中, 大學就認識的朋友們都已經進行到人生的下一階段了. 從 A 到 B 到 C 到 D, 一個個尋獲自己的幸福...
雖然, 自己好不容易工作有點成績, 但新的一年又代表全新的開始, 頭一個月的成績又沒有什麼, 兩頭加起來, 壓力還真不小.
有人說我玩得不夠, 有人說我太挑, 有人說時間未到, 無論如何, 你們不要走太快, 我的朋友們... 我快看不見你們了...
btw, 婚禮參與者現開始接受報名, 有需要我參與的婚禮, 請及早報名, 以免相偶.

Productivity = singleness?
2009 was a very productive year for my blog, averaging 10 posts a month. Does that mean I use more brain power when single?

村上你個春樹
這次在台灣每沒買什麼, 但書買了三本, 一本是侯文詠的靈魂擁抱, 一本是這樣照相曝光才漂亮(沒錯, 韓國翻譯本就是這奇怪的名字), 本不想再帶書了, 但好友一直推薦, 就買了本春上村樹的世界末日與冷酷異境...
說起台灣有個很好的地方, 就是到哪裡都有書店, 到哪裡都有人在看書, 雖然書有百百種, 但有在看書不會是壞事.
說起這春上村樹, 是我好朋友的最愛作者, 從以前就聽過他的大名, 但我知道我好朋友與我的興趣大不相同, 從來沒想過要拜讀他的大作. 感謝感冒加時差, 還是看了他的書. 其實有些後悔, 他的書很像碎碎唸, 不是在唸看過的英文的電影名字, 就是英文的酒名, 要不就一直提到性交, 性器官... 開始的沒頭沒腦, 結束的也沒頭沒腦, 看了以後頭更痛了.
興趣差這麼多, 我跟好朋友還能是好朋友, 真了不起...
