Fort Langley

Fort Langley is a very little town, 5 mins east by car from Langley. it's  a classic north american western town, slow and charming.


We've been there once for dinner, a restrant with river view has good lamb to taste, delicious italian ice cream on the street is also worthy. And there's a famouse art high school and museum but we've never been.


We go for launch this time, with Michael together, a Japanese restrant has fresh sushi, it's opened by a Taiwanese couple, just go by 96 ave to east from langley to the end, beside the left hand, you'll see.

Go to church

Last Sunday, I cried when singing in church.


Lots of memories came into my head. I saw my sister sitting there with her two little kids, happy NN jump up & down, and David was still a sleeping baby. 


I can't breath well for God's cruel, people around sing & pray hard looks like a ridiculous dream to me, so I ran outside to get some fresh air.


I resist to go to church for many years, this church is my parents' mental support during living in Vancouver, but is always a pressure for me. now I can't ask anything to God because there's no answer anymore.

Langley

After three days stay in downtown Vancouver, we walk through some places with old memories, the rose garden in Stanly Park, Second beach, English bay, Granval island, Gastown, Canada Place...


After a quick dinner in Friday night, Luc drive me to Langley, where i'll stay with my families in the next 10 days.


Get out of downtown concret buildings, the house of pastor Chang is situated in north Langley, around with trees, grass, ponds, cows and rabbits... fresh air, comfert weather..., what a vivid life is here.


I know that now it's humid & hot in Taipei, and a typhoon's comming...


 i'll pray, my friends.^^

Vancouver D1

it's been almost 5 years to back here, and tooks a really long fly va SFO to  Van. I hate the Costum of USA, it's always a nightmare when you go through those security things,  waste time  and  having no respects.

the first three days i'll stay in downtown, Rong's new apartment, situate in the area of Coal Harbour, step away from Stanley park, really charming place, wish someday i could own one little home here.

Rong's my classmate when i learned french in Montreal, she's come from the Mainland, a very good girl, merried to a french canadien, Luc, loving her very much, having a happy life...  it's a long time we don't see each other, we talk & walk in the park path & along the beach, the sun hide & seek between clouds, luckly no rain's falling, it's a good sign.

Fly away

終於,可以遠離溼熱的台北,到依然十分冷靜的北國放空兩週。

已經稀稀落落的部落格,更將疏於維護,希望回來後能稍微振作^^

為了姪女的高中畢業,全家人浩蕩陸續啟程,不辭千里而飛...。現在的小孩,真的是集三千寵愛一身啊。

會會老朋友,呼吸新鮮的空氣,享受落機山脈的美景,什麼也不做地任人擺佈,也挺好的~

回來後一切會否馬上變好?...管不了...

蘋果產品發表總是提供機會讓蘋果迷做大夢dream big -- 並從中獲得樂趣。


這一系列iPhone 2 原型來自全方位,從世俗到超現實,看看iPhone Pico -- 超小型iPhone,比指甲還小,我們真期待!


這些原型由iLounge的讀者們所設計,經由競賽來發現最理想的新iPhone。贏家可以得到iLounge's free iPod + iPhone Book 4.



iPhone See-through


This mock-up by Robert Davis of Cornelius, North Carolina, 輕薄如鑽石般透明,可執行完整版的 Leopard (絕無降級) ,擁有5百萬畫素照相功能, 不是很真實-- or 實用 -- but 很美。

數位記憶

梅雨一週,端午前太陽終於露臉了。南部一片汪洋,豪雨成災,看來菜價又要飆漲一陣。

隨著畢業季節到來,全家都將陸續飛溫哥華參加wendy的高中畢業典禮,恩恩今年也小學畢業了。昨整理電腦資料照片,看到2003年暑假姊姊帶兩個小孩在溫哥華跟大家的合照,笑得好開心...還有那年在小舅家山居歲月的錄影留存,雖然是剛生完病前去休養,仍嗅得到那清新的空氣多麼充滿活力與朝氣。

過去的事,隨記憶老去,漸行漸遠,卻總突然不經意轉彎來敲門。越發想像它的美好,越覺得遺憾與失落。數位化的影像保存方式,讓我們的記憶都塵封在0101的抽象數字裡,一面備份大量的圖像,一面又擔心一切會突然消失。跟過往翻著老照片簿,咀嚼珍貴稀少的黑白畫面,是完全不同的心思。

睡前讀張愛玲,纏繞溫軟的語言,越讀越無力
