Journal of Leisure 閒記

It is indeed very hard to keep a homepage up-to-date. I couldn't count how many homepages I have created and then given up . As a result, I decided to write a blog, because it is much more easier to manage so I presume I will update it more often. But keeping a not-so-updated blog just means no one is going to read it. So I also decided to write something here that describes my daily life best, just to keep it not-so-outdated :-)
It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log

The most high-tech flight

Yes, the most high-tech flight I have ever taken - Virgin America. Not to mention the romantic blue light of the cabin, just the touch screen of the LCD display is what I have been longing. But more surprising is the Internet service on the flight! Yes, its Internet, the one that now you are using to read this blog. Can't believe? me too. I can't even believe in the quality and the pricing. How much? its 5.95 (promotion, originally 12.95) for the long haul. Just can't beat. With such a service and convenience, it's worth every penny. What more is that the whole entertainment system is so nice. Not only you can watch movie and some TVs, but also order food and drinks electronically. And for Google fans, you definitely can't miss it because it uses Google Map for GPS, fancy enough? Richard Branson, you are really changing the world! At least the way people do business.

再度蜜月

兩個月的假期很快便過去了,一轉眼就離開了香港四年多的時間,實是一段很不容易的日子.這幾年間發生了很多大大小小的事情,亦有一些很大的人生轉變,包括暫停了五年多的IT工作,攻讀博士學位,結婚,等等等等.回想起結婚的種種,就好像是昨天的事一樣.今次的旅程又把我帶回了三藩市,令我不禁又想起跟太太的夢幻蜜月之旅,起點就正是三藩市.已經是兩年了,但感覺仍像昨日.雖然今次暫不能跟太太一起回美國,但相信好快就可以團聚.今次回港,不同的是幾乎沒有跟朋友會面.原因有二,一是真的希望再聚的時候可以知道自己何時畢業和未來去向,二是希望可以多一點時間跟太太相處.很開心的是令次可以跟太太慶祝生日和兩週年紀念,而且我們的週年慶祝是到廸士尼,就好像再度蜜月,浪漫非常.事在變,人也在變.一樣的三藩市,不一樣的人...這更教人要珍借所擁有的,為擁有而開心,為相聚而感恩.
