In case you were wondering about what I have been up to and why my posts have been sparse lately, well, I did not fall off the face of the earth. I have been so occupied with mundane things of my life, blogging seems to be taking a back seat. As of last Sunday, I officially moved out my parents’ house and settled in a townhouse nearby. You never know how much crap you have until you move. So here I was on a Thanksgiving day sitting on the floor experiencing what I’d call a "oh-my-gawd-how-am-I-gonna-get-them-done" moment. I had tons of things on my To Do List—calling the truck company; making address changes; arranging utilities cancellations—the mere thought of them nearly sent me to the verge of a breakdown. I had drawers of clothes to be given away, stacks of magazines to be disposed of and piles after piles of garbage to be thrown out. Joey Tribbiani said in the sitcom Friends:" Thanksgiving without the turkey is like on a Friday night without the two pizzas." Since I am not a big fan of both, I felt quite all right without having Turkey this year. I would like to thank all my wonderful friends who came out a snowy day and helped me with the moving. Without you guys, I would accomplish nothing.
Up until now did I realized how hooked I am to the Cyberspace. I would literally wither away without such modern gadegets as cable, cell phone and most importantly the Internet. Although I finished The Da Vinci Code in the few days I was devoid of internet access(I wouldn't be able to even flip one page of it under normal situation), I really miss my blogging life and the feeling of being connected. I am so happy that I am finally connected.


马丁路德金曾有一个梦想,而我却曾有过许多个梦想。虽然这些梦最终都未能实现, 有些回想起来甚至还觉得幼稚可笑, 但它们记载着我成长的足迹, 陪伴我走过许多无奈和困惑的日子。朝花夕拾,现记载如下。
中港合拍的电视连续剧“黄飞鸿与十三姨”让人不看不甘心,但看后又有大倒胃口之感。虽整套剧还未看完, 但中间屡想中止。原本满怀欣喜的等待,换得竹篮打水一场空。犹鱼梗刺喉不吐不快,故发此怨言。言语唐突之处,敬请原谅。
It's been a very hectic week for me and all of us in the Finance department. Everybody's been under a lot of pressure because of the month end closing and budget review. We are already very shorthanded but at the same time work just keeps piling up. Next week is the time when the real fun starts as both internal and outside autidors will be banging on the door to audit our books and ensure compliance with Sarbanes Oxley Act. Auditors, you've got to love these guys. They snoop around the office looking at files and asking all kinds of questions. They have the ability to turn our lackluster work place into a fun and more enjoyable one. Timing wise, it could not be any better cos it aligns with our "office moving week". I anticipate the following dialogue might take place:
