I like to eat meat, but I am not obsessed with it. I like vegetable as much, I like my mom special eggplants, where she cooks it with dried shrimp with sambal…ohh…just heavenly. I like my mom acar, pickled cucumber and carrot with peanut and kunyit, oh yummy.

I tried eating just instant noodle for a couple of days and I don’ think I will be able to survive for 30 yrs with just instant noodle. So I should reconsider about retiring early. Hmmm…they should make a healthier and more filling instant noodle. Hey how about that for a business idea?

Gosh…I am soo drained mentally and physically. I don’t know if I still have what it takes to be an engineer :P But thank God it is Friday, well at least it is Friday for me. Maybe I should forget about work and just go to retirement early, hey retirement in the late twenties sound great isn’t it.

Waaa…it’s been a month since I make an entry. Last time I make an entry I went skiing, now I make an entry I just went skiing again, and almost broke my neck. I ended up with stiff neck for a couple of day. Could hardly bend my head.
The snow was great but, I am not enjoying it very much. Had too many painful crashes. I guess it is dangerous to ski when your mind is billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17424700559038217859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156104.post-1103546551295284822004-12-20T04:44:00.000-08:002004-12-20T04:42:31.296-08:00Hillsboro, Oregon
"What can mankind do in the midst of such reckless selfishness?" --> what a cool phrase.
I first found it somewhere I do not remember, the quote was used to reflect the frustration against hate crime. It goes like this "What can mankind do in the midst of such reckless hatred?".
Now I like this phrase so much that I used it all the times to pity myself...ha ha ha...

Life has its peaks and valleys, and I am at its valley at the moment in a physical sense. I started to feel a discomfort on my throat a couple of days ago and I kindda brush it off. But it is getting worst. I am going to douse myself with at least 2 teapots of Chrysanthenum tea aka Chi Hua Cha today. Hopefully that will ease my suffering a little bit.

It’s been more than a week since the last time I have an entry on my blog. It’s been a hectic weekend. Buying grocery for the whole week, and spent one whole day cooking and then rewarding myself with some shopping the day after thanksgiving.
The roast beef dinner turn out to be ok, but there were a lot of challenges along the way. Overall I consider it a huge success billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17424700559038217859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156104.post-1101023943125765122004-11-20T23:11:00.000-08:002004-11-20T23:59:03.126-08:00Hillsboro, Oregon
I did not do anything this past weekend. First, I started my weekend with cooking roast beef. I’ve never cooked roast beef before, but my “sok tahu” took over and I volunteered to cook roast beef for 150 people for thanksgiving dinner at church. So I did a trial cook this past weekend. And the roast beef tasted pretty good according to my taste, and my roommate and his billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17424700559038217859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156104.post-1100521767061152282004-11-15T04:29:00.000-08:002004-11-15T04:29:27.060-08:00Hillsboro, Oregon
Well…it’s been ages since I’ve updated my blog. I guess I will take this opportunity I have in writing another small chapter of my life.
A quick update on my previous week. I took a short course offered by my company on self improvement. A concept introduced by Covey a couple of decades ago. It is an interesting concept, I honestly think the concept is derived mainly from billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17424700559038217859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156104.post-1099474825005312732004-11-03T01:35:00.000-08:002004-11-03T01:40:25.006-08:00Hillsboro, Oregon
Hmm this is my second week working as night shift. It is very tiring when you are at work…but comes weekend…cihuyyyyyyyy…long weekend every week, and very long weekend every other week.
I failed again to get enough interest for a hiking trip last week, so I scrapped it. But instead I went to this nice park called Wildwood park. It has 26 miles long trail inside Portland billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17424700559038217859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156104.post-1098704571791612132004-10-25T04:44:00.000-07:002004-10-25T04:42:51.793-07:00Hillsboro, Oregon.
Tonight is my second night working night shift. It is quite demanding. I received at least 30 calls last night, so on average about 1 call in 20 minutes. The way I look at it, I have saved 2 people from being awaken every half an hour or so through out the night. I think they should definitely buy me a dinner at least. :P

What a gloomy Monday morning, it’s dark, it’s cold, and it’s wet. I woke up late this morning. I woke up at 7 and I need to be at work by 7. Ha ha ha…a very interesting half an hour, just enough time for me to dress up, brush my teeth and run. I was late because I forget to reset my alarm clock back from the weekend.
I got plenty of rest this weekend, slept like a baby all billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17424700559038217859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156104.post-1097708866374360232004-10-13T13:11:00.000-07:002004-10-13T16:07:46.373-07:00It's midday Wednesday, so practically the week is half gone, and guess what 2.5 days to weekend.
My beauty sleep was destroyed yesterday.
I was awaken 7 times, pretty much every hour last night. Fortunately I am an easy sleeper. If I am tired, I could close my eyes and in less than a couple of minutes I am gone.
Unfortunately I am a deep sleeper also, so sometimes I sleep through my pages.

I was yippy and yuppy just a few days ago...and now I feel like I am at a bottom of a dark pit.
Now the question is when you are at a bottom of a dark pit, do you stay down there and let your eyes used to the darkness before you do anything?
Or do you fight hard to get out, with the risk of hurting your self?
Or do you sit and pray and ask God to billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17424700559038217859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156104.post-1097475917056535132004-10-10T23:11:00.000-07:002004-10-10T23:25:17.056-07:00Ohh weekend is pratically over, and I did not get what I need to get done this weekend.
I will have to slowly dig myself out slowly throughout the week next week.
This weekend is not so good. I am feeling a bit down.
I made many wrong turns.
Which I know reflect poorly on myself. However like it or not I feel like I have to make this wrong turn.
So I guess it is a conscious wrong turns.

I got a bazillion of stuff to do. And I need help...so be a good samaritan for once and help me run my chores :P
1. Tidy up my room.
2. Laundry. Oh I think I have at least 4 baskets of dirty laundry. Man folding them will be a challenge.
3. Wash my car. During the summer, I normally woke up 7.30 AM, and go wash my car real quick before the church.

Wassup?
A good news, I am not sore anymore.
I've recovered from my muscle sore...and yesterday I went workout.
I believed one of the hardest workout I've done in the past year.
I worked thathard because I was angry, I guess when you are angry your adrenaline mask your pain and you will be able to push your self more. But I was drainned afterwards but feel very accomplished.

My muscle are all sore, due a week long heavy lifting.
Fortunately I did not hurt my back...yuhuuu...
I believed I also have a severe sun burn on my neck, because I spend 4 hrs saturday afternoon standing with my neck facing the sun.
