 Well, please excuse the mess... I am redoing my website. I hope everyone likes the new format. The biggest change will be in the photo albums. That will probably be completed by tomorrow night. Oh so... I went wake boarding today and took tons of pictures... over 340+ and many gallons of Moses Lake water and many many face plants. I will try to get everything do so everyone can see them tomorrow.

Well... I am back at home... wait... which home is it? ok .. I am back in Ephrata... that's better. Anyway, the weekend was way too short... I spend just as much time in the air as I was in Auburn. Well, I have forgotten how hot Auburn is... DANG... it's hot out there!!! Anyway... it was good to spend sometime with my parents and my sister... We played some Majong and oh... I got a chance to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.... uh... it's weird... that is all I have to say. Oh ... if I have kids... I would let them watch the 70's version. So tomorrow is pretty interesting ... we are going to get interview by IEEE Spectrum Magazine, about our fiber to the home (FTTH) project... SWEET... soo... did I tell you that I been thinking about grad school? But my college GPA was kind of low. DOH... I knew I shouldn't have skip those classes ... ha ha ha. |

I need a new laptop... :-(... anyone wants to donate one? anyway... 2 wall plugs and I got both... it took me a while to find them ... but you can... just have to have sharp keen eyes. Now free wireless in airports ...now that is super rare. |

Well, I made it to the airport... I am doing ok... Seattle airport sure bring back alot of memories.... {sigh}....{sigh}..... it will be ok... I will be home soon... I will be with my family. Got to move forward.... no matter how painful... So anyway... my presentation went very well today. Hopefully, I can get everything together ... I think my idea will be good for the project. I have been thinking about grad school... I don't know if I am really the grad school type... you know... if I am really going to go... it would be nice to go full time... but you know what ... it would be hard for me to give up everything and go back to being a broke student... yeah... it sucks to had the taste of spending money... anyway... if I am going back to school... then you know I probably should not get a BMW... aaahh... a BMW...... SWEET! Well... See you in Atlanta..... |

Well... with all the Podcast craze that's going on... I decided to start a podcast of my own with my friend Sergeon Fu. We actually don't have a podcast yet... we got some sample test tracks ... but it is nothing to release to the public. So first things first... we needed a blog. So here is our blog. The Podcast will be called the Voices of Destiny. |

I just got back from fishing at blue lake. I went fishing by myself. so did I catch anything? Yes and no... Yes I caught something, but no ... I was not able to bring it on shore. I need a fishing net. The trout was jumping and struggling and when I was trying to lift it but on shore... it broke free. DOH... I will go and get a fishing net tomorrow. Fishing really helps me relax and think about everything. It calms me down a bit.... but I do still think alot...... |

Another week... this past weekend .. I did not do anything useful... I did get a chance to see Fantastic 4 with my friends... but it make me feel really sad ... when I saw Ben's wife gave back her ring to him... It made me really sad.... Funny... out of the entire movie and that is what I remembered? All I have to say is I know how he feels.... IT HURTS!!! IT HURTS ALOT! I just feel like I am drifting...I dont know what to do.... If I force Hsiu Hsiu and I together... it is not going to be good. So if I know that why am I so sad and depressed. Everyday I think about her... she probably don't think about me as much... or else she would call right? I am sure she is thinking of the same... then again... she did say... what good is thinking ... I am a person with no actions. Am I really that person?so time I am wondering what am I doing here in Ephrata? Why am I here in Washington state? Am I here because of the job? Am I here because of the money? Am I here because it is closer to Taiwan than anywhere else in the US so Hsiu Hsiu can go back to Taiwan with a direct flight? Why am I here? I don't know ... People say ... you will be over it... you need to get over it... I don't know if I can... I don't know if I want to... I don't know .... My friends are telling me that I have changed lately... they say I am more irritated, I have a really short fuse lately.. I am not the smiley person I was ... I don't know... I feel really sad and depressed... I miss her and why will it not work? should I just quite my job? will it make it better if I move over to China? Will I be happy? Will everything be better? My family spend over a decade getting our citizenship in US.. and I am thinking about leaving? No, no I am not... There are times when I feel that if the fundamental ideas between us don't even work out how will this relationship ever will work out? So what is the ultimate goal? We both agreed that it is to be happy together and have a happy family. How hard is that? Is that too much to ask for? I am not a person with our a career and no future... why is it so hard to reach that goal... why do we have to think about CHINA or US? Everyone else in the world wants to come to the US for a live and I am trying to convince a girl to come and live in the US? What is wrong with living in the US? All this stuff is really point less... maybe she already forgot about me and I am just here babbling... everything is pointless.... pointless pointless so why am I so sad and depressed? Maybe I need something to eat? |

Dreams, Dreams, and Nightmares... Last night I have been having continuous dreams.. I always have alot of dreams very vivid ones, but last night some of the dreams were so real. or at least I wish it was real. They were almost all about Hsiu Hsiu and I. Lots of discussions... in my dream. It is strange. very strange... like I said... I've always have had vivid dreams... but last nights dreams were just more personal and sensitive. I miss her alot. |

Strong wind sucks for fishing.... I went out to Blue lake to try my luck tonight, after hearing that Robert and Dante caught a few last night. I was feeling really sick last night. I am better now. Anyway... I tried my luck and with the heavy wind... I did not catch anything.... I will try again ... but it will not be in the heavy wind.... Oh well... |

I am sitting out on my deck enjoying the cool summer night and watching the fireworks outside. Explosions all over the skies of Ephrata. It is pretty fun. It reminded me alot of Chinese New Years in China. It reminded me alot of my childhood... it reminded me alot about Hsiu. It is pretty nice sitting outside in the summer night, enjoying the summer night's wind. My recent trip to LA really made me think that Ephrata is really too small for me right now. If I had a family this would be a wonderful town ... a really relaxed and friendly town to be in. Boom Boom! .... more explosions... |

Emergency ... Everybody out! well, we were all just sitting here waiting for our flight to Moses Lake. and all the sudden the fire alarm went off.... well.. it actually was not the fire alarm but the emergency alarm. Then a male voice asked everyone to evaluate the airport. Everyone walked outside to the arrival area, stood there for about 5 minutes... and they let everyone back in. They have to rescreen everyone.... eek they almost did not let me back in because I did not have a bording pass. I had a ticket. Anyway... they are calling to board now. |

Happy Fourth of July, everyone. Well, I am sitting on the floor of.... ok now waiting chair in Boise airport. I just flew from LAX on a turbo prop to Boise. Boise airport is really small... but it has free wireless. And that is why I am online checking my email and writing on my blog. Well.... this weekend in LA was just too short. I had a chance to meet some of my Dad's college friends. It is very interesting to hear them talk. LA is a very interesting town. we did not do much... but I know I want to go back and do more. I mean in LA, it is just so easy to get anything. Unlike Ephrata. Oh and let's not talk about the cool type of food they have... oh and the weather is always nice. Anyway.... we will see... Well... this long weekend is way too short. I guess the really good part about it is that I will be flying back to Moses lake ... so the drive home will only be 15 minutes, instead of 2-3 hours. That's good. |

Well... it is July 1st... today I will be going to LA to meet up with my parents and my sister. I will be flying out of Moses Lake. Which is pretty cool. It is alot more expensive, but it save me time. However, there are not that many fights out of Moses Lake. Like only 2 flights... to Boise and to Portland. I wish they have a direct flight to Salt Lake City. I bet I would get alot better connections that way.

 Well... the night before yesterday was a long night. I went fishing with my friends Robert and Dante. Well... as you can see this is what we caught 2 trouts. Actually, it was lucky that we caught anything. our boat had some engining trouble. so most of the night Dante and Robert were working on the boat. It was beautiful out there. We ended up sitting in a dark for a while just chilling after the boat was fixed. I like night fishing.
