Christmas

"你們知道我們主耶穌基督的恩典、他本來富足、卻為你們成了貧窮、叫你們因他的貧窮、可以成為富足
For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth." ~ 歌林多後書 8:9

Up to this point, I was a bit scared since I am jobless, and the baby is coming next year, and moving to L.A. All things are still up in the air and it is easy to only look at the things I do not have but neglect the things I have. Thanks to Christmas and once again, it reminded me the truth meaning of Christmas. It is about the remembrance of how God loves us so much and gave us his only son. Through Jesus, I am no longer poor, and there are so many things I have that money can never buy. May God be with my family and me and bless us and people who is around us. I am wealthy because of Him and I can be a giving person because I am wealthy. I no longer work for live, but work for giving.

Moving

I don't know if it is all the uncertainty in my life lately, I would get irritated real easy. When I get irritated, I complain a lot more often. I don't think I did it purposely, but yeah, I complain a lot even if it didn't come out of my mouth. So I think it is time for me to move. Move from Complainvill to Praise Blvd. Thanks to 小劉's reminder last Sunday.......hehehe

Carpool Lane

Today I was driving with Janice on the bay bridge, and just as we are getting off the bridge, I saw the carpool land sign. It says 3 or more passengers required. I looked at Janice and thought, hey we qualify the requirement now since we have the baby, so it is Janice, junior and me. However, it will be hard to prove to the cops if we get pull over since Janice's stomach is not obvious enough. hehehe.......................

"生命中到底追尋的是什麼, 還有什麼是值得我去追求."

I been searching the meaning of life a lot lately, and while driving on the bay bridge with Janice this afternoon made me realized something. Life is most fulfilling if you can share it with someone you truly love. It does not matter where you are moving, where your job is, and what is going to happen in the future. As long as there are someone you can share with, no matter it is painful or happiness. I am truly thankful that God has been in my life, and he gave me Janice as my life partner. Also all the families and friends. It just made my life a lot more interesting and worth so much more to share. And guess what, no matter what is going to happen in life, I will still have someone I love and who loves me be with me!!!!

Searching 2

How much time I spend a day converse with God?
I realize it is a key question to my searching lately. There are a lot new things happening in my life and there are also a lot of uncertainties. People and friends gave me a lot comfort and advise, but somehow deep inside, I what to see what God has to say, and I do not think he said much so far. or I am not listening very well. I am a bit frustrated, then this question pop up. How much time I am spending with God a day? I guess not too much, I guess I am just too busy working or doing stuff or looking for answers, but never stop and sit down try to listen to God. Then I realized often it is not we are waiting for God, but God is waiting for us to calm down and listen to him...........
So, from now on, I will spend 10 minutes everyday just sitting and waiting.............and see what happens.

Christmas Party

Surprisingly, we are having our office Christmas party on time this year. Thanks to J.B. consistently pressing the date, boss decided to have it on time, plus we can bring the spouses this year. I have to say that I am really impressed since we always have our office party in March or May...hahaha. Poor Steve couldn't find anyone since he is in a long distant relationship. He is so desperate and almost called the escort service. J.B. was going to bring a blow-up doll for Steve. Wahahahaha, it was so funny.
It was really nice to meet J.B.'s wife Julie finally, and it is funny to see how J.B. acts in front of his love ones...............still loud and obnoxious. Since J.B. is in charges of organizing the event, we end up going to Betelnut next to our office on Union. It is our 3rd time to the restaurant as an office party only because J.B. loves the place.(we thought of slated door, but it is kinda far, and we are lazy boyz). Even the restaurant is kinda loud and I can really hear all the conversation, but it is real nice to spend time w/ my co-works outside the office. Boss also announced that I will be leaving the office end of year. Since I was the employee of the year plus I worked in the office for the longest (almost 5 years) Boss got me a second edition of Peter Zumthor's "thinking architecture" hard cover. I was real surprised and real happy about the gift, although I thought the book could have more pictures than words, but hey, it might worth something in 10 years since the first edition end up a real top seller and it has become a collector's item. It also means more reading for me on top of my license exam.
Man, we had so much food since we order double of the dishes, plus we tried whole bunch of new plates per waiter's recommendation (man, that waiter is good). We barely made it back to the office, and spend the rest of the afternoon try to diguest the lunch.
For the last 5 years in the office, I had learned so much and had grown a lot. As the boss puts it " even I had rough start, but I worked through it ". I think I will really miss everyone in the office, and now I just have to move on and walk forward and continue with the rest of my architectural career.......(if God still plan it that way....)

Searching

生命有許多的選擇, 不知要何從何選起.
有多少次錯的決擇, 漸漸的對生命一點信心都沒有.
我的心也好像不再感到自由.
好想在這個不規則的世界, 找到一絲的真理.
好煩每次都在自己的軟弱裡打轉, 好想放棄一切.
生命中到底追尋的是什麼, 還有什麼是值得我去追求.

People told me 要好好仰望
People told me 要好好禱告
People told me 要好好等待

But why 我聽不到
But why 我不想等
But why my heart hurt so much

Car Wash

It has almost been a month since Amanda picked up her brand new Scion TC (Marshmellow). Scion was one of the better car within the pricing rage and I am so glad that Amanda loves her new car. I dont know why she really wants a stickshift but seems like she is handling the stickshift pretty well (she sucked at the begining of course). It reminded me that in Europe, almost every single car is stickshift, it is only common to see automatic car in the United States. Anyway, we had our first car wash party and it was fun to show Amanda how to take care of her new baby!!!!!

Thanksgiving 2006

Even though Chris is not with us this year, there are many things to be thankful this year. Janice and I had gone to our dream Euro trip, Janice is finishing up her school (finally), me changing work environment, and all the health in our family. A lot happened this year, especially there are many uncertainty at this point, and I am not sure what to do and what will happen on many things, but thanks to God who put all the love one around me. Friends and family really gave me many comfort and advises in life. Special thanks to Anut Rita and Lyle who opens their place for this year's thanksgiving dinner. I can not believe how much I had ate last night. I was in charge of making salad this year, and thanks to Debra and her advise. She turned me to Martha Stewart's website for recipes. After going through few salad recipes online, I decided to go with the Romaine, avocado, corn salad. I guess I must done a good job since the entired bowl was finished before the dinner ended. Janice even suggested that I should go into culinary school...hehehe

Leftovers

I probably slept through most of my classes back in the dayz, but one thing I remebered from my environmental class is "Use what you got!" Not I only remembered it very well, I was also able to put the concept to use in my day off work. Here is my "Leftover Turkey Melt"

在水上行走

在水上行走
詞曲:快手徐

眼睛睜開我不敢看 因為不知要往哪裡站
一個人漂在茫茫人海 真不知該怎麼辦

記得你曾要我試試看 試試看我到底敢不敢
一個人走在茫茫人海 憑著信心走過來

當我帶著懷疑的心態 一腳就往人海裡栽
我覺得很無奈 又沒人愛 所有信心被深埋

chorus
一個人總是在捉模 一些成功的線索
每次心中有了疑惑 我只能喊著救救我
你拉著我的手 在水上行走

we are like a seed in the sea, and often we have to go with the curren even if we do not want to. And a lot of times, people do not even realize we are in the curren of the world. I ask myself what is success in life? and how do you measure success in life? It is not easy to answer that question, and I think there are no right or wrong answer, but only appropriate answer according to each person. I envy Peter who has the courage to step off the boat and walk on water. Even though he stumble a bit but Jesus was right there to catch him. I ask myself do I have what it takes to step off the boat and walk on water?

愛妻首則 III

Just walked in into my apartment tonight, and it was spotless! Man it was so clean that the tile in the bathroom was shining. It remind me of the Wife of Noble Charactor from the good book. I felt like I was the richest man in the entire world because my honey. Besides the clean home, a warm meal also takes my heart away, and no wonder I can never lose weight. Anyway, I am really greatful for such a noble wife God has given me!!!

才德的婦人誰能得著呢．他的價值遠勝過珍珠．
他丈夫心裡倚靠他、必不缺少利益．
他一生使丈夫有益無損．
他觀察家務、並不喫閒飯。
他的兒女起來稱他有福．他的丈夫也稱讚他、
說、才德的女子很多、惟獨你超過一切。
豔麗是虛假的．美容是虛浮的．惟敬畏耶和華的婦女、必得稱讚。
箴31

Furniture is not just a piece of object. It is an extension of human body and as we utilizing it on our daily life, Furniture become part of our life and life style. A good piece of furniture should last you a life time (disregard how well Ikea is doing)!!!
I recall that I am used to spend so much time screwing around in the school shop at Berkeley. Trying to learn all the machineries in the shop, and of course, as a young lad, I had made many mistake, but praise the Lord, nothing is fatal. I guessed I had made so many mistakes that I was hired as a work-study student in the shop, so I can warn the others not to make the same mistake as I did. I really enjoy design and making furniture, and after graduation, I spend one year as an apprentice in a custom furniture shop before I moved on doing architecture. My friend and I even opened a hobby shop for couple years, but we end up closing it since we both are too busy with our day jobs and can not spend enough time in the shop to justify the rent we are paying for the space. Well, here are few piece my friend and I design and fabricate over the years, so Aiwen, let me know what you think and see if we have a shot in the Asia market. hahahaha

主祢是我力量

主祢是我力量,
主祢是我高臺,
堅固磐石我信靠祢必不動搖,
我的盼望只在乎祢!

Just got back from the S.O.P. worship @ Daily City and I felt like a fully charged battery and ready to go. Yeah, baby!!!!
I went to a lot of worships, and somehow tonite is a bit different. I do not know it is because I was confused and depressed lately or something. God really touched my heart and spoke to me, but it was like nothing else before. It felt like my battery is full, but yet it still can be charged more, a lot more.... I felt the excitement of God's presence, but it is also very calm at the same time. It is like I am looking at things at higher level with a more clear view of things (like the 3D person who visited flat land). Although I do not know all the answer in life and what are my plans for the future, but one thing I do realize is that God is my strength not only when I am weak, but ALL THE TIME.
I am also so happy that my cousin was with me at the worship. It is real nice to share God's love and worship together with the person you love. I hope soon I can worship with my mom and Chris.

Home Alone & thoughts on life

It has been 10 days since I am back from the trip, and life seems going back to normal slowly. Ever since back, I have being thinking really hard about my future plans and what I really want to do next. It seems there are something missing in my life, or I wasn't feel completely happy (I could not say what cause it yet). Between work, church and family, life seems a bit boring or no clear direction. First I thought a trip to Europe and taking a break from all the ordain life will spice up my life a bit, but after a week back from the trip, life just goes back the way it was before. Yeah, it was good to see all the family and friends but I am still not completely happy. On Friday's fellowship we are finishing up the last day of the 40 days Purpose Driven Life (it is funny that 40 days appears a lot lately.....). So we had discussion and sharing about " what is your life purpose statement ?" I thought after reading the book I will somewhat have better sense about my life purpose, but it seems like I were more confused and clueless. During the discussion, I shared that my friend once told me that I seemed real unhappy and unlike before ever since I have become a Christian. I think it was true in some aspect and I am not sure why. I felt it is part of growing up, and when you know more about life, it is not always happy and simple as it used to be. It kind bring me down a bit. I know bible taught us that we should give our wearies to God and learn to rely on him, but I guess it is a bit easy to say than done. I used to say things and do things the way I want to, and the way I felt like it. All my friends loved me. But now I think twice before I do any thing....I think about if it is the right thing to do? And if it is what God want me to do? And Man it was hard......(pain in the butt). Then people tell you if you have hard time in your life is because you are not close to God. Well duh.........You think I don't know that? But how close is close to God? I want to be like David or Joseph (by the way, Joseph is my new favorite character in Bible now) who can understand God and God loves them. Although Dave screwed up the big time in the end, he is still cool in my book, hahahaahhaha. It seems like I spend a lot time, money and thoughts to become a good Christian. Try to ask the right question, try to do the good things, try to love one another and be loved by others. But all for what? Eternity and salvation? Sometimes I wish the results can be more short term and concrete ( I am just complaining).......On the other hand, I really enjoy worship and reading God's word. I think I had grow a lot spiritually and mentally. I am also real glad that God gave me such a wonderful and lovely wife. It is funny that people only realize how much you appreciate a person when the person is gone. Janice is gone for a week since she is spending some time with her family in L.A. and it is Dad's birthday. I am on my golden bachelor week. The funny thing is it is only the second day, and I already missed my honey a lot................Fortunately, only 4 more days to go...........Yeah......

Amazing Race 4

I can not believe how much icecream I had eaten during the 40 day trip. I am used to never eat any icecream or sweet until I met Janice 10 years ago. And gradually she has convert me into a icecream eating machine. So who says guys will never change?

May God's love be as sweet as icecream in Janice and my life every single day ! : )


( ICECREAM SHOTS ).

Amazing Race 3

Venice, Italy -— the most romantic place I ever been in my entire life. I have read and hear from people that how nice Venice is, but I have my doubt until I was there myself. The entry to the Venice train station is quite dramatic too, it was 2 hours train ride from Florence. For 2 hours it was just ordinary ride with ordinary country scene outside the window until 5 minutes before arrive Venice. The horizon just seems to disappear all the sudden, and there is nothing else but the sea outside the window. The train was riding in the middle of the sea as it was floating on top of water. I once heard that you will fall in love with any person you went to Venice with, and it was noexaggerationn (for the brothers and sisters who is praying for their second half, praying and bring the person to Venice will be your best bet, trust me!!!). The water way instead of street, the boat instead of cars, and the moon light above all the ancient buildings. It was just perfect environment for love, and I am so glad that Janice was right next to me when we were there. We also saw a newly-wed couple on the gondola as we are crossing the bridge, and it was sooooooo lovely and romantic that made me want to get marry in Venice again (to the same girl of course).

Amazing Race 2

Remembering wathing the TV series Amazing Race, and see the couples argue and fight during the race appear silly to me. I always thought to myself how can a small mistake like making a wrong turn in the parking lot could ever become a vicious fight between any couple. Guess what! I totally understand it now after spending every single 40 days with Janice on the trip, and now I understand why it is called the Amazing Race. I think it is more about relationships between teammates more than any of the amazing place or game ever shown on the TV.
I had known Janice for over 10 years now, and I thought I know Janice pretty well up til the middle of the trip. I was amazed how different our opinions are on things, and our though process are totally opposite. Like trying to find the way to get to the museum on our metro map. It usually takes couple turns of arguing on how come our way of transferring metro lines are better than each others (but it is what make the trip interesting.....I guess........). So we end up taking turns of looking at the map, and decide how to go where, it kind of work better since only one chief is in the kitchen.....hehehe. But we still got lost all the time since the Europe map does not reflect the exact Europe street, and not all the street have names.......or we could not find the sign of the street name. Man, I have no idea how European find their way to any places.
I also find out Janice and I are noticing different things even when we are looking at the same thing. Janice would notice all the weird sculpture sticking out on the facade of the church, but I would notice the dog shit laying all over the sidewalk and telling Janice to watch out, I ended up the one who step into one after giving warning to Janice : ( and it stinks........However, noticing different things is a good thing since there were couple times I was so lost with the map, and Janice would notice the small sign off the street that direct us to the right place, and I would be like " where is the sign you saw ?" because I still could not see the sign.
One of the valuable thing I gain is that I understand Janice more, and her thought process. Our communication skills are getting better.....I think. I also appreciate Janice more as a companion and travel partner. Maybe one day we can do the Amazing Race on TV, or not, hahahahaha.


Pont du Gard, Roussillon. One of the place we did not get lost : ), thanks to our tour bus driver!!!hahahaha

Amazing Race 1

Oh mine, can not belive i am actually back in San Francisco tonite. On the way back to the apartment realizing i can actually understand what people next to Janice and I are talking about again (we are not foreigner anymore), it put me back to reality.......my 40 day amazing race has ended. Praise the Lord for all our health and safty during the 40 days, also thank you for all the prayers from all the love ones and friends which has kept janice and I safe and sound. I am also very thankful for Heike and Eric whom are so generous to invite us to be part of their beauitful wedding. Without their kindly invitation, this trip can never be realized so soon. I am also very greatful for the generous couple in Barcelona whom took Janice and me in to their apartment for 4 days, even though we don't know each other for very long (2 weeks to be exact). Pablo and Petra has shown us so much hospitality for those few days in Spain (mucha grazias). Janice and I are really blessed for every single things, events and people we met along each steps we made on this trip. 40 days seems so long yet, went by really fast, and amount of information and ideas i had aquired are so rich and beautiful. Special thanks for Pastor Hsiao and Sydney for their financial contribution to make all this possible ( Syd, i will pay it back one day........)

Euro Trip

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFinallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, BIG WILL is going to Europe!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can not believe it is really happening tomorrow. I know Janice and I have been planning the trip for few month now, but the idea of going to Europe has never feel real in my mind until this Friday, when I went over all the projects I was working on (notice "WAS") with boss at work. It was a great feeling and much of relief. After 7 years of working, it is a great idea that knowing when I wake up on Monday, I DO NOT HAVE TO GO TO WORK!! Plus, I am going to Europe. hohohohohohoh, God is good.....All the time.....Especially this time!!!!
On Saturday, Janice and I are doing the last minute shopping. We got our REI backpack, lock for the backpack, secret security belt for our $ and visa and CF card reader for the camera. Since I will be shooting for Heike & Eric's wedding and I am incharge of all the photo transffering and storing during the trip. I have invest a lot time and money doing research on the best way to store the digital photos and how to transferring the images from the camera to storage. For storage, I choose the Apple Ipod video 30GB with the Apple camera connector. For the convenience of transferring files while still be able to shoot, I got the USB CF card reader from XtraDrive. This way, I can shoot the wedding continuously with my 2 CF cards. For the camera gear, I got a traveler tri-pod from Amazon.com for $8, yeah yeah, I know, it is not the best tri-pod but I do not have to worry about it get stolen or break it during the trip. I am really excited about this trip because I want to go Europe since college, but there is always something got in the way, and it never happened. I am also a bit worried since Europe is a new world and new language and new culture, but more excited than worried. For all the brother and sisters, please pray for our safety and health during the trip and do not miss me too much (or janice's blogging)!!!

peace out, God bless!!!

( 祝福滿滿的歐洲之旅 ).

愛妻首則 II

Rule #2: 老婆做事像 神ㄧ樣, 她有她ㄉ時間和理由, ㄧ般人無法了解, 做先生ㄉ只有去順服!

前幾天威爺為ㄌ威嫂花太多時間在"威嫂的布拉格"發生ㄌㄧ點不愉快. 威爺認為威嫂可以更有效ㄉ利用時間, 不要每天花那麼多時間在電腦前. 好像寫Blog是ㄧ天ㄉpriority. 威嫂卻不以為然, 她認為寫blog能讓每天生活變得更加充實, 也能夠抒發一下自己ㄉ心情.
挖勒!ㄧ整天在公司看人臉色, 工做ㄌ半死. ㄧ回家卻看到家裡ㄧ團遭, 而且沒飯吃, 還講ㄉ威爺ㄧ頭霧水, ㄧ時又氣又好笑不知如何回答. 只好ㄧ個人到角落讀經禱告.........
就這樣過ㄌ幾天, 威爺發現ㄧ樣粉好笑ㄉ事. 就在幾位姊妹ㄉBlog上看到幾則相似ㄉ事件. 雖事件都不同但大致是家裡老公Complain老婆在家為ㄌblog荒廢家事. 威爺實在了解每家老公ㄉ心情, 因為他們跟威爺對威嫂講ㄉ竟然ㄧ模ㄧ樣! OMG, 真是太陽底下無新事. 在認同其它老公ㄉ同時, 威爺也有ㄧ些認知.

1. 為什麼威嫂要借著Blog來抒發自己ㄉ心情, 而不能跟威爺ㄧ起來解決或者帶到神面前. 不知道沒有blog以前人是怎麼抒發自己ㄉ心情......

2. 威嫂ㄉ邏籍和價值觀是完全不同, 與其argue about it, 不如接受她ㄉ想法, 就好像耶老接受ㄌ不完全ㄉ我ㄧ樣.

3. 要學習去用威嫂ㄉ方法去愛威嫂, 不能ㄧ直用威爺ㄉ觀點來關心(雖然很不make sense, but that's WHAT JESUS WOULD DO!, so suck it up)

4. 最後威爺要謝謝ㄧ些姊妹ㄉ分享, 讓我了解威嫂ㄉ想法. 雖然我還是無法完全了解和同意, 但威爺現在知道Blog對威嫂ㄉ重要性.

哎, 這年頭好老公真難做. 除ㄌ要賺錢還要了解老婆! 不過也希望神能再次ㄉ在我和威嫂ㄉ婚姻中掌權, 在我不完全ㄉ地方顯出他ㄉ榮耀!!!!!

每次見到 LIVE SIZE ㄉ卡通人物都忍不住要去抱一下, 因為感覺自己好像進入ㄌ卡通世界. 記得 MONSTER INC. 剛上映ㄉ時後, 電影院也有 LIVE SIZE ㄉ SULLEY & MIKE. 我看到ㄉ時候超想把他們帶回家, 可惜太大車子裝不下.........

How come SHIT happens to good people ?

所以凡聽見我這話就去行的、好比一個聰明人、把房子蓋在磐石上。
雨淋、水沖、風吹、撞著那房子、房子總不倒塌．因為根基立在磐石上。
凡聽見我這話不去行的、好比一個無知的人、把房子蓋在沙土上。
雨淋、水沖、風吹、撞著那房子、房子就倒塌了．並且倒塌得很大。
馬太福音 7:24-26

今天在網上聽到小劉分想如何"預備成為神ㄉ器皿"時, 對上面ㄉㄧ段經節特別有感動. 也許是因為講到建房子吧, 對我特別Make Sense, 耶老大還真會用比喻! 讓我ㄧ聽就懂. Anyway, 我ㄉ感動是不論你ㄉ房子是蓋在磐石或在沙子上, 都會有雨淋,水沖,風吹. 所以不論你是好人或壞人, Shit will happen to you!!! 就像雨淋,水沖,風吹到房子上. 記得耶老大有ㄧ次醫治ㄧ個天生瞎眼ㄉ人, 結果門徒就問老大為啥這人從小就瞎ㄌ眼?是因為他前世犯ㄉ罪還是他父母在生他時犯ㄌ罪? 結果耶老ㄧ語道出ㄌ世上ㄧ切ㄉ真理.
老早前我們ㄉ老祖宗亞當跟夏娃(不是猴子ㄛ)做ㄌ傻事, 罪就流到世上. 所以 Shit 就ㄧ並發生, 沒啥好驚其ㄉ. 所以不論你認為你是好人或壞人, Shit 隨時可發生. 哎!神還真公平. 但每ㄧ件事都有發生ㄉ時間和理由(so there is no such thing as luck), 我們雖無法控制Shit happens, 但我們可以選擇如何來面對. 我們可以像門徒ㄧ質問Why? Why? Why?, or 我們可以求神給我們力量, 來榮耀神在我們身上ㄉ作為!

這次Amanda去台灣我也請她幫我買ㄌ些玩具, 雖然快三十歲ㄉ人ㄌ好像有點幼稚, 但因為聖闘士星矢是威爺小時候最喜歡ㄉ日本漫話, 當然我也有粉多聖闘士星矢ㄉ玩具. 可惜我搬來美國ㄉ時後都被威娘給ㄉ給, 丟ㄉ丟......嗚嗚嗚, 威爺多年ㄉ心血都沒ㄌ............但老天弄人, 在十年後沒想到聖闘士星矢又流行起來, 不但有新ㄉ卡通, 也出ㄌ新ㄉ玩具. 而且比十年前做ㄉ要精緻粉多. 相對ㄉ叫價也高ㄌ粉多....玩具商人實在粉厲害, 十年前埋下ㄌ伏筆. 十年後這些小朋友變大朋友, 他們再賺這些大朋友ㄉ錢.............實在厲害!!!!雖然花ㄌ很多不該花ㄉ錢, 不過我還是覺得很值得. 因為聖闘士星矢喚起我粉多小時ㄉ記憶, 讓威爺又回到小ㄉ時後.

今天終於要到威弟在新加坡ㄉPhotos,因為我粉好奇新加坡是長怎麼樣,也想看看威弟住ㄉ地方. 結果威弟只照ㄌ幾張,真枉費ㄌ我買給他ㄉCanon像機.不過從僅有ㄉ照片看來新加坡真ㄉ粉乾淨. 新加坡University看起來野蠻新ㄉ,不像UC Berkeley到處都舊舊ㄉ! 聽威弟說他有認識粉多新朋友,當地也有粉多美眉, 只是還不知道誰是有錢ㄉ! WA-LE!!威弟呀,你想笑死老哥. 不過話說回來, 威弟你可要眼睛張大點,要不然會跟威爺ㄧ樣,讓第ㄧ個女朋友就變成老婆!!!!!!!!!(希望威嫂不要看到這ㄧ篇, whoops..........too late, because ANYTHING you put on the internet will become a PUBLIC information!!!)

愛妻首則-1

愛妻首則-1: 在做任和事前, ㄧ定要讓老婆先知到!

Rule #1 of marriage: Always tell your wife where you are going, when you are going and who you are going with "BEFORE" you even think about it !
A good friend of mine have to learn it the hard way, and thanks to him, I learned this golden rule of marriage before I got married. Here is the story:
On a typical weekday, Fed (my good friend and climbing partner) got 2 giant tickets from one of his consultant, and being a good friend. Fed had ask me if I wanna go to the game with him after work. Being a good friend to Fed, I told him yes. I met up with Fed after work and heading to the park. On the way over, I ask Fed if Deb is coming for the game. Then Fed didnt say anything, so I figure there is something wrong between Fed and Deb. Later I found out that Fed had ask me to the ball game before Deb because he thought Deb wouldnt want to drive cross town just for a ball game. I guess Fed had thought wrong, and Deb was so furious. Not because she didnt see the game but because Fed didnt ask her first................what did Fed know....poor Fed, he was sleeping by himself for the rest of the week.

威娘! 生日快樂!

記得威娘從威爺小時候就對威爺和威弟粉嚴格, 也許是威爸時常不在家中, 所以要扮演嚴父和慈母ㄉ腳色. 最記得小時候威爺時常練習生字到半夜, 而且威爺ㄉ生字簿永遠比同學ㄉ薄. 因為威娘對威爺ㄉ字要求特高, 因為字如其人. 所以威爺稍微有幾各字寫不好, 威娘就把威爺ㄉ生字簿撕掉!!!!可憐ㄉ威爺只好重寫ㄧ整頁..............現在想ㄧ想覺ㄉ為什麼不把不好ㄉ字擦掉重寫就好ㄌ?????????????還要重寫ㄧ整頁!!!!!!!不過也因如此威爺ㄉ字寫ㄉ還可以. ㄏㄏㄏㄏㄏ.
今天是威娘56歲生日, 威爺在此要為威娘獻上感謝, 因為如果不是威娘ㄉㄧ字ㄧ字教導, 威爺也不可能是今天ㄉ威爺. 如果不是威娘ㄧ次ㄧ次ㄉ把威爺ㄉ生字簿撕掉, 威爺今天不可能有今天這般耐性. 謝謝娘, 祝妳生日快樂, 也願神喜樂和平安ㄉ靈能天天與妳同在.

還沒睡醒

今天ㄧ早要為明天禮拜選敬拜ㄉ歌, 牧師ㄉ題目是"有ㄧ位神“, 我就想問ㄧ問大妹子有沒有什麼感動或意見..................

專心仰望!!

今天威爺教會ㄉChris請我們讚美小組團契ㄧ起去吃飯, 因為Chris有感動想要和我們分享, 也ㄧ方面和我們團契增進感情. 既然有人想請客, 威爺當然也不能輕易放過, 結果我們去ㄌSFㄉ嶺南小館, ㄧ吃就吃ㄌ十倒菜. 雖然沒有像大上海那麼誇張, 但也是吃ㄉ飽飽. 吃飯當中Chris跟我分享ㄌ神在他身上ㄉ工作. Chris與神變扭,征戰十幾年, 終於順服於神. 雖然好像有點久, 但Chris在這時間裡學習順服和如何聽神ㄉ聲音. 神在Chrisㄉ工作上大大ㄉ祝福, 使他在Currency Trading 上有超人ㄉ成就. 我雖然不懂how trading works, 但看到Chris 把他公司ㄉ同事ㄧ個個帶到神ㄉ面前, 現在公司每天還有禱告會. 想到這真想大喊Hallelujah!!!!!!that's the meaning of work, man!!!
我也跟Chris分享我目前ㄉ工做狀況, 我有點迷失. 好像工作上沒有太大ㄉ目標和動力, 想換ㄧ個工資更高且不ㄧ樣ㄉ環境, 但又安於現狀也沒特別ㄉ感動. Chris就提醒我要耐心ㄉ等候神, 也要不住ㄉ禱告求神幫助, 最重要ㄉ是能有ㄧ顆服事神ㄉ心. 不要ㄧ直求神能為我做什麼, 而是要問神我們能為神做什麼! 啊, so simple concept, but so hard to do! So tell me Lord, what can I do for you to glorify your name ?
不過寫到這時我心中好像有ㄧ點啟示, 也有ㄧ點之前我為神做ㄉ好像還不太夠ㄉ感覺...................

外婆八十大壽

二號威爺請ㄌ兩天假去L.A.幫外婆過她八十大壽, 但因為熬夜開車ㄧ直到今天才把精神調回來(哎, 真是老ㄌ！！！)雖然只有短短兩天, 但見到很久不見ㄉ外公,外婆,和舅舅,舅媽們. 雖然大家粉久不見但ㄧ見就ㄧ發不可收拾. 大家ㄧ直粉興奮ㄉ聊對方ㄉ現況. 值得ㄧ提ㄉ是我們去ㄉ"大上海"飯店, 吃ㄌ三個小時, ㄧ共二十幾樣菜. 吃到威爺差點要用爬ㄉ出飯店, 挖...謝謝外婆....又把我養肥ㄌ!!!!!!!!
這次ㄉ八十大壽讓我很高興也有粉多感觸, 看到外公外婆如此恩愛威爺很感動, 希望我和威嫂也能如此慢慢變老. 這次也看到外婆有粉多老朋友已不在, 也有ㄉ記意和精神都不是粉好. 雖然外婆身體欠佳,但感謝神保守外婆笑口常開, 也希望神能醫治外婆, 也感謝神讓外公有ㄧ個建康ㄉ身體. 這次我和威嫂特地送外婆ㄧ捲新約ㄉ有聲CD和ㄧ本有關醫治ㄉ書, 雖燃沒有鑽石戒指或金飾貴重, 但我希望外公外婆能認識真神, 能在天國有ㄧ份產業.

再會ㄌ, 威弟!!

今天ㄧ早就去接威弟因為今天是他上飛機ㄉ日子, 威弟要去新加坡深造半年. 回想起來時間過ㄉ好快, 記得4年前威弟還只是high school毛頭ㄧ個, 如今以大學畢業要成為為國生產ㄉㄧ份子. 我和威弟相差7歲, 所以重小不常玩在ㄧ起. ㄧ起玩ㄉ時候也常被大哥ㄉ威嚴來欺壓矮胖ㄉ威弟 (威弟以前ㄉ錯號叫小胖). 直到11年級威弟凸然增高, 如今威爺只得用斜眼往上瞪威弟 (但毫不起作用). 這次威弟出國ㄉ目標除ㄌ深造之外, 也想要找ㄧ個" 有錢ㄉ眉妹" 當老婆, 所以他老大可以少奮鬥10年.............想當年威爺也有這同樣ㄉ夢想. 不過神給我ㄌㄧ個更好ㄉ另ㄧ半. ㄏㄏㄏ, 今天因該可以睡床上......Anyway, 希望威弟能找到他想找ㄉ夢中情人, 也希望神能找回威弟這個小羊.
