原來，這句詞，也可以這樣解的。
總是覺得，這句詞，是包含著惆悵和無奈的。也許是因為那句“眾裏尋他千百度”吧。現在才發現，其實是欣慰的。
呵呵呵。。。好巧。好吧，靜觀其變。

My Lovely Officemates..
Today, a computer technician guy came to fix the network problem in our office. He is a 21 year old, tall, blue eyes, American guy. These 3 women in my office, in their 40s and 50s, insisting on me going out and meet that guy. They screened him and decided that I should go and get to know him and date him.
I was eating my lunch when the guy came. I have also changed into my white uniform cause I was working on some project and I don't want to dirty up my clothes. I was wearing my hair net and checking my mails. K came in, pull off my hair net and was trying to convince me to change my uniform and go out to meet that guy. Then, N came in, and describing the guy to me. They even asked me to peek from the door. I was laughing so hard and really don't know how to react. I refused to go out to meet that guy and then K came in and told me that N needs me on the front desk, which is where the guy is. I looked at her and then N started calling me. Well, I have to respect N and I want her to stop calling me too. Is a small company and I don't want to make a scence. So, I ended up walked up to the front desk, listened to what she has to say and walked back to my office.
After that guy left, both of them were running into my office and goes like, "How is he? How is he?"...*speechless*
It was hilarious. They are very concerned about my single status and have been reminding me that almost, all the time. I guess people in this city got married too young. That's why I looked like the odd one. Anyway...I don't care much.

Blessed..
Went to the mechanic again today. This time, the same old problem plus, I got 5 cracked holes on my windshield.
I went down to Ames last weekend to visit my friends. I parked my car at the visitor parking spots and when I got back to pick up my car, I saw 5 holes on my windshield. At first, I thought it was hail or something. Then, my sis told me that probably someone had shot BB gun on the windshield. DAMN!! Now, the hole started cracking up. I can see a clear long line extending from one of the holes. DARN!! More money!!
The mechanic looked at it and he said they don't fix this thing here and he doesn't know much about fixing it too. He gave me some other mechanic's phone number. Well, gotta get that settle tomorrow. Hopefully, they open till 5.30pm. Finger Crossed.
He then went on to fix my car. He put the tires on the machine and added 0.5 ounce on each wheel to balance them out. Apparently, 0.5 ounce of weight can turn into few pounds when you are driving at 60miles/hour or higher! Well, physics again! He told me that one of the weight fell off from my tires due to the accident last time. Hopefully, this will fix the problem for good.
I remember him told me once that during winter, I have to check the air pressure of my tire once every week. So, I did, or at least, I tried yesterday. Instead of adding air into my tires, I am letting the air out! How smart was I??!
I was embarrassed and I definitely do not want to go to the gas station and try it again (I might completely flatten my tires in that case). So, I told him about what happened and asked him to do it for me again. He said that he would do it for me again if I promised not to mess with it. Hehehehe...He even offered to do it for me every week! (He said that sometimes, when the temperature is too low, the air pump in the gas station might not work properly)
Well, ended up, he drove my car out from the mechanic shop, and said something like, "Well, we have balanced these tires before, so, there is no charge." I was stupid and replied, "Did we?" and he blinked at me.
Everytime, I go to him, I felt very much blessed and touched. Thank you, very very much, Jon.

Hopefully, A Better Start
Finally, moved into my new office. Tomorrow, everything will be different. Gotta change to the new professional dress code, gotta take care of my hair, and...I gotta enjoy a 1 hour lunch break!! Not that I really care that much. I think I would probably ended up eating and working at the same time, now that I can eat in my office. Yes!! Can drink coffee and work at the same time!! Oh Lord...how much have I wished for that? Also, I am in the 8 to 5 working group now!!
Unfortunately, everything comes with a price. Now, I have to have a wardrobe makeover and..possibly..wearing makeup and doing my hair every morning!! (I don't have to do it now cause I am wearing a hair net everyday)
Well, we will see.
Whiskey + Coke = Cheers!!

忽然很想跳舞
今天，公司的事兒真的有夠煩的，都快不知道要怎麼做才不會得罪人。坦白嘛，也未必是件好事。說甚麼真相可以還你自由，現實生活中，卻不是每次都是如此的。好無奈。都快要不知道怎麼自處了。為何那麼小的一間公司，卻有那麼多的政治？人啊人！和平相處幾乎是不可能達到的目標。唯有那些過於樂觀的人，還相信著和平相處是存在的。人的慾望，破壞了所有和平。人的疾妒，破壞了友好。人的防備，造成了不信任。人啊人！好複雜的生物。我想當老闆！！才不會每天戰戰競競，在蛋殼上走著。
希望這一切很快就會過去。那，我就可以專心地做我該做的事。
那天，接到那中國人的電話之後，終於都有點醒覺了。原來，我還是蠻理智的。雖然，心中還是有點怕，有點猶豫，我還是跨出了一小步。踮著腳在玻璃碎里踩步，還是得小心翼翼。人長大了之後，都是個個體了，對嗎？甚麼都要懂得自己面對，後果也要學會自己負責，所以，走錯了一步，踩破了個蛋殼，或不小心踩到了玻璃碎，都要學會怎麼挽救，怎麼療傷，對嗎？好多事，外人都是幫不到的，唯有自救，才能渡過所有難關。
人生的每一個階段，都會面對很多決擇。每一個決擇，都好像是個很重要的決定，都好像是個會改變你一生的決定。回頭望一望，才發現，原來也不過如此。做錯了決定，人生還不是一樣地過，做對了，也不過如此而已。

現實的中國人
昨天，接到了一通非常特別的電話。好久，或可以說，從來都沒聯絡的朋友，忽然撥電給我，感到好驚訝。聊著聊著，想起了S曾告訴我，他結婚了，便順道恭喜他。結果，不小心地，揭開了他的傷疤。
自從他失業了之後，那女孩總是和他鬧分手。他也明白，那女孩是蠻現實及愛面子的人，但卻放不下這三年的感情。之後，一直分分和和地，還聽說他買了一輛車給她，帶她去夏威夷玩，買了個幾千元的蒂芬妮戒指給她當婚戒，結果呢。。唉。。三年的感情，都敵不過現實社會的殘酷，多可悲！唯一能告訴他的，就是看開點，令自己忙碌些，慢慢地，讓時間沖淡一切，以後小心點，帶眼識人。
這已經不是第一次聽到這類似的故事了。很不幸地，這一切一切，都是發生在中國人身上。好多中國女孩都特別地現實，特別是那些依靠著獎學金到美國讀書的女孩。而好多中國男人，都學不會拿得起，放得下這個道理，造成了不少悲劇的發生。（我不是說每個中國女孩都是這樣的，我也遇到些蠻好，蠻善良的中國女孩）
想著想著，其實，對她們那麼現實的作風，我們應該感到非常地佩服。她們把那句“人不為己，天誅地滅”的道理發揮得淋漓盡至，你不得不佩服她們。她們真的很會保護自己，也很自私，也非常地拿得起，放得下。相對地，我也很同情她們，沒有那種一起吃苦和共患難的的勇氣，更沒有深深愛過一個人，為他盡心盡力，互相扶持的膽量。
之後，和兩個中國朋友聊起這件事，他們也說這是非常正常的。WW說，女孩總要學會保護自己嘛，他還勸我多向她們學習，才不會被人欺負。（無言以對）
也許她們所追求的人生，和我所追求的人生是不一樣的，所以，我很難理解她們的所做所為。
對自己人生，能那麼勇敢地做出那麼多損人利己的決定，也許也是需要很大的勇氣的吧！

感嘆
今晚的天空是特別地美。深藍色的夜空，加上雪白但不全的月亮，和我熟悉的那三顆星星。好想你們噢！好可惜，你們都不在這兒，不然，我們可以一起嘗試第一次在白茫茫的雪地上看夜景的滋味。
其實，在一個那麼美麗的夜晚，拿一個睡袋，躺在草地上看夜空還是蠻浪漫的。享受著那種平靜感，放鬆心情，沉醉在屬於自己的世界。可惜，今晚確實是太冷了點，風又刮得那麼猖狂，只好打消了這個念頭。總是很羨慕小叮噹里大雄那一扇窗，打開窗就可以出去躺在屋頂上看夜景，不必擔心有甚麼強盜啊之類的危險。好想有個露台，有個好像父母家那麼寬敞的露台。好想爬上屋頂看夜景啊！好久沒和大自然接觸了，今晚有點鬱悶。
這麼美麗的夜空，令我想起了你。那天凌晨，天空也是那麼地藍，星星卻是出奇地多，好像看見了銀河系般，好壯觀，好感動。我倆坐在我家露台的堤上，仰望著天空，斷斷續續地聊著些有的沒的話題，輕鬆地道別。兩年半沒見，友情依然不變。我還是那麼愛欺負你，你還是那麼地任由我胡鬧。我們之間的友情，可以那麼坦白單純，感到好欣慰。朋友，我們何時還會有機會一起看夜景呢？
在想，〈阿旺新專〉里，他為他老婆仔製造那一幕雪中賞月的情景，是不是和傻傻的人在一起會比較快樂？

Sigh...
H left today, after a conference call and a bad argument. He was really mad. He didn't even come and say goodbye to any of us. It was very shocking and very sad. Some of the production people get really emotional over this. They changed the lock and key right after he left. It's just, too much. Sigh...
I was asked to stop by before I leave today by the new General Manager and I did. I ended up having a conference call with the new GM and the CEO. It was the worst experience ever. I was asked questions that I have to answer very carefully. Otherwise, someone will lose his/her job. I am very very worried..I am getting quite attached to those production people and I don't want to see any bad things happen to them. I will try my best to save their job.
This Monday, the games begin. I will move into the new office and everything is going to be different from now on. For better or worse, I will try my best and play my part nicely.
Sincerely hope that A got fired. That way, many problems will go away. Things will be better back there. I know that's not going to happen, but I still pray for it.

Another Resignation
Plant Manager, H, sprung a very huge surprise to us today. He resigned, finally. After all those dramas, betrayals, backstabbings, and all, he quit. Felt really sad.
What's going to happen next? I am not even sure.
Should I stay? Should I go? I am not sure.
Will he come back? I don't know.
Politic is always dark, no matter where it is and how many people involved. I am trying my best to play it clean. M, production manager, once told me, "Sometimes, we have to put people down to get to where we want to be, it is unavoidable." Is that true? I guess that is the ugly naked truth about the world nowadays. I know that he had been trying to cover me up cause he is afraid that I might go higher than he does. I have been playing dumb, keeping my mouth shut, pretend that I don't know what he is doing. He had been misused the trust between him and the Plant Manager to put me down. Maybe, the quitting of the plant manager might change the situation. I seriously don't know.
After doing some thinking, I decided to stay, for a little while. I will just wait and see what's going to happen next. I hope the new Plant Manager, whoever they are going to hire, will let me do the things that I am supposed to do. Otherwise, I will resign as well. Since I don't owe this new PM anything, I wont feel bad to leave after all.
Within a month, 2 people quited. I have been keeping my mouth shut and pretending that I don't know what is going on. The truth is, I kinda know what is going on. I watched the whole political situation as an outsider and it is quite clear to me what the problems are. However, I also learned to not stick my nose into where it does not belong.
Keeping my mouth shut, my ears and eyes open, are the way to survive now. I don't want to play the games, I don't want to have to put someone down and I don't want to hurt anyone. 90% of them needed this job and have burden to carry. I am the one who doesn't have much burden to carry for now and have the freedom to stay or go. I rather be the one to sacrifice than sacrifice someone to get to where I want to be. I wont be able to live with myself for doing that.
Wish me luck!

〈十面埋伏〉 & 〈２０４６〉
〈十面埋伏〉
很無理頭，非常非常地沒道理！剛看了〈十面埋伏〉，感覺好無聊。整個劇情不太有道理的，武打也過於夸張、不實際，男女演員的演技也沒有什麼發揮的餘地，有的時候，卻不出色，怪不得每個人都不推荐這部戲啦！
從劉德華說起吧，我從來都不喜歡他，看了這部戲之後，對他更是反感。好噁心吶！特別是他和章子怡那一幕情愛鏡頭或那一段情，好像一個死不認老的老阿伯想吃嫩肉一樣，不知丑字怎麼寫！而且，故事也沒怎麼說到他們之間的感情發展，好像是劉德華一直一廂情願地以自己的愛來束縛別人一般。而且，當他有机會發揮自己的演技時，他卻表現得平平，毫不出色。
其他兩位演員是我蠻喜歡的，所以，不想批評太多。但，還是覺得章子怡最近拍戲真的是露太多了，問題是在，有些時候，是不太必要的，她還是露了。可最近的戲都是如此了，就如〈Underworld Revolution〉和〈Matrix Revolution〉一般，那些不必要那麼深入的情愛鏡頭，他們都拍得特別入骨。
武打場面也太過誇張了。戲里，章子怡和金城武的武功不是很高強，但，當他們完全不動站在那兒讓官兵拋竹攻擊時，卻可毫發無損地被所有竹子圍困著。而且，地上不知何時埋了好多尖銳的竹子，但，當所有官兵被擊倒在地時，那些竹子卻不見了！好不邏輯！！
〈２０４６〉
〈２０４６〉，好奇怪的一部戲，也好特別的一部戲。聽說這部戲很久了，終於都有機會看，怎麼會錯過呢？結果，看戲看至凌晨三點半！我雖然明白這部戲的劇情，但，它背後的意義，還是蠻耐人尋味的。嗯。。還是不太明白他的戲。不過，好久沒見到木村了，還是蠻歡喜的。。嘻嘻嘻。。。他的唇，還是那麼地性感。。。天哪！我這花痴快要暈眩了。。。
梁朝偉在戲里真的好會逗女孩子歡心呢！原來壞男人比較多女人愛！
“我雖然很怕聽見你的答復，但我還是要問。”如果每個人都能那麼勇敢，人生的遺憾可能會減少很多吧。
“愛情有時也是有時間的，認識得太早或太遲，結果是不一樣的。”
“只要你自己永遠不放棄，你永遠都會有這個机會。”

Dove PROMISES® Message
My colleague walked into my office today and handed me two of her favorite Dove Caramel chocolate. I opened up the first one and the foil wrapper have a message read, "Send a love letter this week". I looked at it and smile. After I finished the first one, I was still starving. I opened up the second one and this time, the message read, "Write a real letter, not just an email". What a good conincidence! I find it funny.
I am always fascinated by all these messages, like those messages you find in the fortune cookie. Sometimes they can be very weird and funny. Still remember that few years ago, I went to St. Louis with some friends and went into this Indonesian owned Chinese restaurant. The Indonesian happened to come from the same place as my Indonesian friend who was on the trip with us. He saw me staring at all those fortune cookies and he kindly gave me a bag of those. He really made my day (I was 19, ok?).
American have another way of reading the message from the fortune cookies. They added "in bed" at the end of the message. Some of them really sounded very funny after you added that in.
For the Dove Promises message, they asked me to add "you sad, lonely fatass" at the end of the message...which means that..for my message, it would read:
Well, who needs some love? I can write a phony love letter, and I am very good at it. =)

Google Translate
I got bored and I went to try out the Google Translate. I tried it a while ago and it didn't really translate that well. I am hoping that they have make some changes and improved the system but....
This is what I wrote on my About Me Column:
流浪在美國的靈魂。快六年了，還是不願意回去。 悶的時候，就胡亂塗鴉，煩的時候，就發發嘮騷。因為是個糊塗虫和懶惰鬼，只好把心情和生活記錄在網上，才不怕會弄丟，也可以省略掉回朋友電郵或信件的麻煩。 我不是個作家，不是個畫家，更不是個藝術家，文筆也不是很好，所以請多多包函，別那麼挑剔。 天性無聊，愛搗蛋，以作弄人為樂，看到別人無奈的表情，總會有種成就感 -- 算是個天生的惡魔吧！不太懂得三思而後行，也很衝動，沒耐性，所以經常會說出和做出一些之後會很後悔的話和事。 新世紀女性的思想，特別討厭煮飯，但還蠻喜歡烘培。對烤蛋糕，卻非常無策。 胸無大志，只想開開心心，無懮無慮地走完這一生。
This is the translation:
Stray soul in the United States. For almost six years, is still unwilling to return. Boring, casually graffiti, a lot of trouble, as far as trying to vent their showmanship. And the lazy guy is a ghost because I could only feel and live records on the Internet, only the fear of losing. can be omitted letter or e-mail friends back trouble. I am not a writer, not a painter, not an artist, the writing is not very good, so I hope you 9.1.2. not so picky. Frivolous nature, love moments to fool people enjoy seeing others helpless expression, There are always -- be considered a natural-born devilish sense of accomplishment! Not know how to act with prudence, but also very impulsive, Monaixing. I often tell and make some things and then after regret. The new century women, in particular hate cooking, but quite like baking process. To bake cake is very ineffective. Beyond ambition, I just want to lead a happy, no worries earth life without worry.
It is quite..different than what I meant. Some are quite right but some are way off! I guess one of the problem might be that I am using Traditional Chinese instead of the Simplified one. That's a good thing though, right? Or else, most of the translator will lose their job, isn't it?
Wonder how it would be if I ask them to translate my webpage from English to Chinese..Should be quite bad cause my English is bad...

Everything is Good...
A big sigh of relieve...
Got my car checked and repaired. Took me more than an hour to clean off the ice and snow. Everything is good now.
Cost of the accident:
Tow truck - $ 96.30
Car Wash - $14.00
Mechanical Repair - $13.38
Very lucky to know all these people who helped me through this hard time, especially the mechanic who didn't charge me for his labor. Otherwise, I might have to spend a few hundred bucks for that. Really grateful to have met all these people.
Lesson learned. It is better to buy a 4WD than a sedan. My next car is going to be a 4WD.

Happy New Year!!!
I had an exciting and almost life threatening start of year 2007.
2 hours after the start of 2007, I was driving home from Minneapolis after watching the Indoor Fireworks in Mall of America. The road was slippery due to the semi-heavy snow and the water from the melting snow. The temperature was dropping and the water was freezing up before the highway personnel can put salt on the road. The wind was blowing very strong. I was driving very carefully and nervously because the car kept slipping once in a while and the wind was not making it any easier. I was on I-35 and 8 miles away from the border to Iowa. Out of nowhere, my car started slipping. I tried to gain control. I manage to bring the car back to the road but it was slipping off again. Finally, I lost it! Not only that I lost it, my car was covered up with snow and mud and I don't even know where it was heading! The car finally stopped. I was in shock and the first thing I did is to get out from the car, in case the car is in the middle of the freeway. We were so lucky that the car stopped before it hit the road. Or else, we will be stuck in the middle of the road of the other direction or fell into a deeper ditch!
I went down to check the car (not that I know anything about car) and the wind was so strong and it slammed my door shut right after I stepped out from the car. Everything seemed normal to me. I went back to the car and started shaking. At that point, I don't even know whether I am shaking because of the cold or because I was too scare. After calming down, I tried to drive it out from the ditch. The snow in the ditch was too deep and I wasn't able to get the car out from there. A car stopped and tried to help us. The patrol car came and asked them to leave because it is too danger for them to do that in the middle of the free way. The patrol car called a tow truck for me. After a few minutes of waiting, the tow truck finally came. It cost me 100 bucks just to tow my car out from the ditch!
I am glad that I was not alone that time. I am very thankful that nothing happened except the damages to my car. I was still very much freaked out few hours after the accident. It hit me real bad at the time of the accident but it is even worse when I think about it after that. It could've been worse. I am very grateful for not losing my life on the first day of 2007.
After the accident, I chatted with KY before we went to bed about what pops up in her mind when the accident happened. Apparently, all those things that they showed in the movie about how people regret and think about things before they died were not true, at least not in our case. All that came up in our mind when we were spinning was, "Please, nothing happen, please". That's all. I guess, if we were stucked in the middle of the road and a truck is driving toward us, maybe, just maybe, the scence in the movie might appear. I don't know, and, I don't want to know.
