Thanks for Richard's sharing tonight

Today is Wed and it's our snack dinner again.
Jane had cook for us so many times.
So today we decided to let her take a rest...... And everyone prepared one dish of food.
I prepared Fried tomato with eggs, hot shrimps with wine and fish ball soup.
Each dish was first time I ever tried.... and I saw many many times of recipe...
Just like I do presentation before. I will rehearsal many times in my brain.
But I waited until 6.30 p.m.. It seemed nobody came home. I am so hungry.....
I had to wait otherwise food will not hot enough.
Finally, everyone came back then I can cook.... because I prepared every condiments before so I could do it in a short time.
It was really funny after you saw people do it before and now I do it same.
Just like first time I saw myself can draw something good.... It feels good.
After I served every food on the table and everyone started eating.
I took a rest and watch people eating just like Calvin would do after he served food to us.
I felt satisfied again.........^^
I really enjoy this kind of feeling. And starting understand why people said food could provide happiness to people.
I am not saying that I can cook. I started cooking since I came here.
But I can test similar feeling.....
They ate too fast that I forgot took photos today even Richard's share later.... It's pity.
Richard is a AAU's student and he study at industrial design master degree now.
Now he is a second years student.
I mentioned him before. He did a really good presentation today.
Everyone focused on him and felt interesting.
He shared with us until 11.00 clock.
I guessed everyone like his work during school.
But I saw other things. Such as personality.....
Every time I heard people talking about his own situation.
I cannot help that I will start to simulate myself to that situation.
I will think if it was me, what I would do at that moment or a period of time.
He learned design since before he applied AAU one year.
It means he learned design about 3~4 years.
But how long I had been design business?
4 years for college and 5 years for working. It's almost 10 years now....
How shamed am I? Really...... How shamed am I>....?
There are some thing I need to learn form this man and it's very important.
I shall not avoid anymore.... I need find my passion back.......
Yes it's passion............ How far you could go for LOVE? This is a Car-tier's new slogan.
How far I could do for design.......... for what I love... to do .. ?

Thank you again.. Richard ..... It's really nice to meet you at SF..

About squirrels...

Recently, the weather is good everyday in SF.

It almost everyday is sunny.

So one day I took a little walk to Golden Gap Park.

It is very close which I live.

If you took bike, it would spend you 5~10 minutes to get there.

But I prefer walking to there.  

I came here many times.

So after I arrived there, I took another path that I don't usually take.

It is a narrow winding trail.

I so like there. You can avoid the main road's noise and see many squirrels.

Actually in SF, you can see squirrels at many place or trees.

But this is first time, I am so close to them.

Basically, they jumped around me all the time.

Like saying that can you give me some food?

But they seemed that they can tell you had food or not in a short time.

Luckily, I met an old couple who were feeding them.

And I ask them can I take photos of squirrels?

They agreed happily. Even more, they shared me some walnut.

Squirrels were a very smart and brave animals.

Actually, they don't afraid of me at all.

You can see them holding your hand and ask for more and more.

And they have teeth and claw.

It hurts...... T_T......

It was an interesting experience with squirrels at Golden Gap Park.

People said sometimes you may see raccoons at Golden Gap Park.

But even though whey look so cute. They are mean. Easy get angry...

If I saw them, I'd be better keep away from them.

haha..... I'd expect that....

Can you give me some food?

I'm so happy with my walnut.

Long time no see Downtown.

It has been 1 month I didn't go to downtown SF since I left ZOE.

Today I went out and met WangHua at Mogemary.

WangHua is AAU student and Michael introduced him to me.

I am glad that I had chance to know him.

We had lunch at Japanese restaurant.

He brought me to see his school.

I saw many good graphic design. But due to product design's building is not there, so I didn't see it. He told me a lots of what he learned from AAU.

Mostly, he learned from his classmate and other subject more than product design.

I am so admire that he had chance to do that and most important thing is he has passion.

I can tell he learn design happily.

That's most important thing.

I hope that I can learn this from him instead of  my emotional temper now.

Thank you, Michael that you introduce him to me.

Yosemite trip

I had heard Yosemite many times.

After I came to U.S., I keep hearing people talking about it.

Finally, I got a chance to go there and luckily friends will take me to there.

Thanks for Danny and John. Specially thanks to Danny's uncle and aunt to let us stay at their house.

We left SF at 5.30. Then we saw beautiful sunrise.

Yosemite is so beautiful even though it is during dry season.

We didn't see the beautiful Yosemite waterfall.

But we still saw a lots of beautiful rocks, tree and animals(included human).

The air there is so fresh. The rocks there are so special.

They said that during ice age. It brought a lots of rocks down here.

So we can see many many special rocks here.

And many animals live here too, specially squirrels.

We saw squirrels many times and they don't afraid of human.

Sometimes they look like asking you to give them food.

After Yosemite, we went to Merced and we stayed at Danny uncle's house.

The house is beautiful and Danny's uncle and aunt are so nice.

They have a swimming pool in their house and we go swimming of course.

I always think one of the main reason that makes a trip good which is people.

What kind of people you met on your trip and how you interact with them.

Every people make you feel different.

And I am really lucky that i met a lots of good friends at CA which make me feel this place like home.

Thank you God for preparing this for me.

舊金山約五個小時大

每次回花蓮，都會去騎腳踏車。

在花蓮騎腳踏車，是個很愉快的經驗。假如你不怕曬的話，那就更棒了。尤其現在還有政府規劃的腳踏車步道，可以讓你與砂石車相遇喔！開玩笑的。不過，花蓮風光明媚的，騎腳踏車真的很舒服。還記得上次騎去找Jonah，從花蓮市騎到玉里鎮，單程整整騎了八個小時，加上我中間隨便亂竄，應該少說有快一百公里吧！超愛的，中間還遇到慷慨的大叔，請我吃滿妹豬腳。今天，在舊金山，也來個腳踏車之旅吧！

記得之前聽人家說過，可以從日落區騎到沙沙利度，打開地圖一看，似乎很恐怖的長度，又常在美國聽人家說，沒有車等於沒有腳一樣，整個人就膽怯了起來。所以，雖然嘴上說要到沙沙利度，其實，心裡想者，騎到金門大橋就可以了，哈！超會原諒自己的拉。結果，一上路，果然吃盡自己沒好好做功課的苦頭，一直狂迷路，光金門公園，我都快繞一圈了。不過，幸好本人篤信路長在嘴巴上；只好一直問人了，中間還問到一個講話超級斯文的單車客，問他說:金門大橋在哪個方向？結果，被他從上到下掃瞄過後，他就說現在去可能已經起大霧了，不過他還是指點我條明路。走在路上，心裡想，可能要騎到金門大橋都是個難題了吧！有人說舊金山的路很有"彈性"，直到現在我才真正體會，特別是在騎者暢快的下坡路段時，心裡其實是忐忑不安的，大家都懂吧！還有回程阿！老天！走的越遠，迷的路越多，我就越不敢想要怎麼回家。迷路是值得，辛苦有代價。在路上遇到了很多風光明媚的地方，看到了潛水艇在值勤，看見了美麗的海灣（如果還可以看到鯨魚就更讚了！）。話說舊金山政府還真的是對Biker很友善，可能人多勢眾吧！哈！路上除了常看見指標外（雖然按指標走有時會撞牆），還在熱鬧的市區特意安排出腳踏車走的路喔！話說，經過千辛萬苦，終於到了金門大橋，真的是值得的阿！頓時發現騎在橋上，就是給他很不一樣，從下面的角度看大橋的纜繩，才發現怎麼有人的工作是走在纜繩上阿！天阿！我光騎在橋上，就不時腳軟，心裡想像者，有遊客不小心推了我一下，我就掉落冰冷的海灣了。真是夠有感覺的了。

好了，騎過橋後，心裡想者，應該可以了吧！我已經達到不可能的目標了ㄝ！突然，看見一個指標，Sausalito 1 mile........... ，阿勒～真的嗎？現在回去不就工虧一匱，繼續上路吧！路是一路滑到底，我的心也就涼到了底，有需要落差這麼多嗎？你老師，這台沒避震的假登山車，還是我偷騎出來的，我騎得回去嗎？不管了。一路滑到Sausalito的市區。這裡我來過了，所以其實就隨便走走看看，學人家躲在陽光底下，裝悠哉～今天禮拜五特別早下班，所以，來這裡曬曬太陽。好像這樣的心情一樣。還是，我家其實就在山坡上拉，隨便騎下來，看看有什麼好玩的？別在做夢了。忽然看見一堆人，特別是Biker在排隊，哇勒！～是不是有贈品，就跑去問人家，原來是要做渡輪去魚人碼頭喔！厚厚～！叫我在去魚人碼頭，那我不是離家越來越遠嗎？難道我要過夜阿？明天還要去優勝美地勒！可是心裡有個聲音一直說，Why not? Why not? 好吧！學人家排起隊啦！就給他坐渡輪到了漁人碼頭。漁人碼頭我也有來過，所以路還知道，就往南一直騎就對了，沿者F line的路線，一直往市區方向走。看到了Bat Bridge，路上遇到人家一直尖叫，瑞奇小子，瑞奇馬丁～I Love you~丁你老師拉！我是大頭火龍，新品種，沒見過喔！死龐克妹～。一直騎到Powell，心裡的期望終於落空，真的，MUNI真的沒開放給腳踏車用戶，哇勒～那我怎麼回家，天快黑了ㄝ，好像依稀記得Sasa說過，可以直接搭公車到我們家山頂，所以跑去找地圖，發現真的有ㄝ！後來讓整公車的人等我把腳踏車裝好，結果小義大利司機看不下去，來幫我裝，我心裡一直想者，吉哥遇過司機和他說的；少年仔，頭一拜喔！～結果沒有。從滿滿的人坐到剩我一個，天空已經泛起淺淺的魚肚白了，和小意Say goodbye後，扛起假登山車，直奔下山。終於喊出；Home, Sweet Home........

說實在的，和我在花蓮騎的份量比起來，今天的量，可能還比較少點，不過路上看到的不同風光，有趣事物，倒是真的比花蓮的一片大海，來的多元有趣。如果，我真的相信自己做不到，或顧慮自己回去怎麼辦？而躊躇不前的話，那我可能連金門大橋都到不了，這....有那麼有啟發嗎？真的拉！我做到了ㄝ，歷屆有人做過嗎？騎腳踏車環舊金山一圈，我美國朋友都說我瘋了～～拜託，哪天一起來台灣環島就知道了。你還要和機車、汽車、大卡車爭道ㄝ！

舊金山還給你做專門的路騎，很爽了好杯！再說，一點都不熱。多半是微風徐徐。改天一起騎吧！

很有彈性的路，怎麼照片不太有氣勢。騎的很累ㄝ～

騎到置高點後，俯瞰海灣。


真的有人的工作要走在上面嗎？


風箏衝浪，好像另一個世界的遊戲喔！（完全不敢和人提，我在台灣也有衝浪。）


大船入港


就是他騙我騎下去的


美麗的山城，沙沙利度。


遇到鹹的要命老伯，在海邊堆不可能的任務。


我也來幻想一下。


Home Sweet Home~~

記得當年

還記得那時辦完了大同的workshop，已經過了好一陣子，心裡手裡都還在發癢，想找點什麼東西來玩玩。碰巧的第一屆的Muji就開辦了。

好吧！那就以這個比賽為主題，開始做了一連串的發想過程。

參與者就是我們這群常混再一起的傢伙。閒閒沒事幹～

雖然MUJI主題已定，可是我們操作workshop的方式是以日常生活為主。

所以我們就展開了一連串的觀察，舉凡習慣、問題、解決等等，全都觀察。

真的很好玩。這個過程中，很自然的，大家的能力都表現了出來。

像C的點子多，A的領導能力，F的觀察與總結能力等等，哇！超懷念的拉～！

有些事情，現再不做，以後就後悔。我很高興，有些事，我已經做過。

而且，還想在做。做設計真的很快樂。

西邊是家鄉

今天，騎腳踏車過了二十幾個街，跑到最西邊的海邊去，沒想到再這麼近的地方，就看到了，有人在衝浪。浪，其實蠻小的，和台灣很像，最大的差別就在，凜冽的寒風以及ㄧ定要穿防寒衣的水溫。很懷念在台灣衝浪的時光。坐在海邊，思考者，到底自己想過怎樣的生活？不經幻想起，如果我可以租在一個離海邊近的地方，買台可以放浪板的車，下班就去衝浪，或者背者釣竿去釣魚。這樣似乎很不賴。

Today, I rod bicycle to the west of bay area. It is an ocean. People call the place where I lived sunset area. At my hometown, ocean means east. That's why I can only see sunrise instead of sunset. I who came from east but now I fly to west to learn design.  I saw surfer on the ocean. Wave here was quite small which is like Taiwan. But it still had a lots of different, such as windy weather and cold water. The water is so cold that you have to wear cold prevented suit. Sitting beside beach, and thinking. What kind of life I want to choose? Maybe I can buy or rent a house nearby ocean and buy a car which can put my surfboard. I go surfing after work or take my fish rod to go fishing. It sounds great. What kind of life or person I want to be? 

De Young museum

Today, I went to De Young museum at Golden Gap park.

I heard this place that they said it would kill your camera(you will run out off your film).

After I took bus and I spent 20 minutes to get down there.

It is a beautiful park and it is a beautiful architect.

I feel I am so happy.

Recently, I think people who can live here is so happiness.

Although I still miss where I came from.

There were several exhibitions that we can see today.

Actually, there were so many exhibitions in this building more then MOMASF.

But there were only two floor and one basement, so you don't need to climb too many floor.

I saw many Africa and Maya culture art works.

It looks so real and fake. I don't know. Like some thing you should see at an Africa's native home, or a deco on a chieftain's head.

But I can see it in front of me.

It's a really nice museum and I'd like to go to there again.

Next time, I will ride bicycle to there. Ha Ha.......

Number one art work in my heart



Number two art work in my heart


Chair one

女人不是菜

昨天，朋友看見我女朋友的照片，問我說，所以這就是我喜歡的類型？我也不知道，似乎喜歡的女孩子並沒有統一的類型，就像我雖然有喜歡的設計風格，但是執行上卻沒有統一風格的原因似乎雷同吧！因為，雖然喜歡，可是客戶不見得適合，所以提出的方案也就越來越多變。以這個做比喻，似乎很有趣呢！接著另一個朋友說，我一定喜歡嘗試不同的“ 菜 “，我旋即回答；女人不是菜。我自己很驚訝於說出這樣的話，因為，一般而言，我會順者別人的話說話，但是，有時卻會說出自己都驚訝的話。對壓，女人對於我而言，不是一道一道的菜，那麼簡單。我不是饕客，女人也不是佳餆。真要簡單的說，我寧願說；女人是上帝的傑作，於我，是美的啟蒙。

        依稀記得大ㄧ上設計通識，老師問我們，你們覺得女人身體哪裡最美呢？大家似乎都很臉紅心跳的，不敢說話。我卻毫不猶豫的說，女人最美的地方就是身體相連的部位。是的，我覺得最美的地方不是五官，不是乳房；而是頸部，腰部的曲線。你可以感覺到嗎？女人與男人的曲線就是不一樣，年輕女人與成熟女人的曲線也不一樣，即使在一個曖昧不明的灰色地帶。

BBQ, Swim&night club at San Jose

Live here is so good that I am afraid I cannot get used to Taiwan anymore.

No more over time working, sun light, good weather and countless events make me feel live in a dream word.

Is it my America dream?

We went to Fred's house at SJ and he BBQ for us.

There was a swimming pool and we had a lots of fun there.

Thanks for Fred. He prepared so many food. 

I like the days we spent here, California.

After BBQ party, we went back to SJ people's apartment.

We went to night club at SJ which is called LOFT.

Actually, for me, it was a little bit boring.

I think music is one of the most important elements at night club.

This LOFT club's music is not so good.

Basically, it was an experience.

Sunday, we stay at the apartment all day.

Thank for Jane and Shi-Fen cooked for our branch.

I like the sausage fried rice very mush.

   

Afternoon, we took Cal-train and back to SF.

Louis came to our apartment to stay two nights.

He is more younger then us but he had a lots of social experience.

He is also a food lover.

We reheat food which we brought back from Calvin's house.

And Louis cooked same fried rice for us.

This weekend is so good. I feel happy. Thank God. 

You always treat me very nice.
