心電感應

你出現的時間都很準,準到讓我起雞皮疙瘩,讓我頭皮發麻。
難不成這個也可以解釋為我的念力足夠強大,把你「震」出反應了?

從星國【海峽時報】即時新聞十分鐘名單術,窺看Facebook小遊戲大熱門原因

概念引用自星國《海峽時報》只靠加入「Breaking News」,流量一年翻三倍?by 劉威麟。所謂的「十分鐘名單」概念是這樣的:

我們的工作習慣已有點改變。我們現在都有一個「十分鐘名單」,在這名單中的網站,我們都會為它們好好開一個視窗,有時候那些視窗甚至是自動會變動的,如同Gmail有信會自己跳出來,那一行白花花的「新信件」你不可能不看到。現在大家都已經習慣,當它變動時,先去「Interrupt」自己正在進行的工作,先去處理一下。現代每個人都像一顆CPU一樣,可以「多工運算」,可以隨時被「Interrupt」,有的更厲害的還會看看哪個優先做、哪個隨後做。

注意,如果一個網站不會一直變動,我們就不會將視窗一直開在那邊。也就是說,這個網站就不會被列入我們的「十分鐘名單」。

此外,一個網站就算沒有被上班族一直開在那邊,也有可能會被他/她列入「一小時名單」,也就是每過大約一小時,就會固定檢查一次。


劉威麟的這個觀察我十分認同,很快讓我聯想到的,就是最近在Facebook上面火紅的小遊戲們。這些小遊戲除了技巧性運用了Facebook平台的社交互動性以外,他們各自也都成功應用「十分鐘名單」這個技巧,只是預設的時間長度巧妙各自不同。以下拿出三個遊戲舉例(歸結本人玩耍心得如下):

=RESTAURANT CITY=

  • 遊戲賣點:經營自己的線上虛擬餐廳,雇用朋友當廚師、店員、清潔工,賺進滾滾鈔票和經驗值,用以為餐廳添加更多裝飾、擴充餐廳規模、購買更多食材
  • 互動性:
    1.雇用你的Facebook好友來餐廳工作
    2.跟朋友交換食材/拜訪朋友的餐廳賺免費食材
    3.拜訪其他Facebook用戶的餐廳打分數贏獎勵
  • 「十分鐘名單術」:
    1.每三小時餐廳裡的工作人員就會餓,需要餵食或休息;理想一點的狀況
    2.每天登入餐廳會有一個食材獎勵
=Happy Farmer/開心農場/FarmVille, etc=
  • 遊戲賣點:經營自己的農場種菜種花、養牛羊雞狗,賺取經驗值與金錢,用以為農場購買更多種子、添加更多牲口、擴充農場規模
  • 互動性:
    1.幫Facebook好友種菜養牲口
    2.偷取Facebook好友的心血結晶變賣
  • 「十分鐘名單術」:
    1.每X小時(根據植物/動物所需生長時間不同)就需要收成,不然就會被其他好友偷走變賣(減產)
    2.每天登入農場會有一個種子/肥料獎勵
=Enchanted Island=
  • 遊戲賣點:當巫師用法術變出一盆一盆不同的花賺取經驗值與金錢,有些時候會出現「衍生種子」增加困難度與趣味性,並非100%的用咒成功率激發玩家挑戰野心
  • 互動性: (無OR弱)因為僅供遊戲中的forum平台與素不相識的其他Facebook使用者交流討論,沒有與既有Facebook好友互動的設計
  • 「十分鐘名單術」:用咒兩次後無論如何巫師就會氣力放盡,需要15分鐘休息時間養精蓄銳,才能再次發功
注意到它們對「十分鐘名單術」的運用了吧?這樣看來是不是更覺得劉威麟的分析很有趣很有道理?不過也值得各位注意的是,從三個小遊戲的比較中我們也可以歸結另一個讓Facebook遊戲熱門與否的重點--互動性!Restaurant City和眾多的農場經營遊戲因為有互動元素,快速吸引眾多使用者投入而無法自拔,Enchanted Island因為在互動性上明顯衰弱,了不起讓部分誤打誤撞闖入的玩家(譬如我)投以三分鐘熱度的注意,遊戲的續航力堪憂。

有其他想法嗎?歡迎丟出來討論!
(哎呀呀,我真是個軟體人.....)

Work, Mixed

Work learning summary:
  • Manufacturing process is super complicated. Step after step, detail after detail. One little mistake will lead to so many steps of corrections. Later when I can no longer claim myself as a newbie- will lead to shouts from boss
  • Web communication related: When an organization grows to the Godzilla scale, it's highly likely to lose its flexibility to win online- especially when people use the dated style and attitude to run the business
  • Media review is crucial for this industry. Detailed and thorough communications (even crisis management) is necessary, while effective evaluation is important as well.
  • Another evaluation index: number of awards the products win (where, from whom, why)
  • ...
  • I still have my value, for sure :)

隨興的見到面真好!

謝謝你們,把我從悶悶的上班族狀態中拯救。

謝謝你們容忍我進入無止盡的多話、碎嘴狀態。

謝謝涼涼的風、自在的小公園、嵐的腳踏車、你的關心和陪伴。

當身邊的新事物新挑戰接踵而來,把自己搞到喘不過氣來的時候,

還好有你們-一群歷久彌新的好朋友-一直都在 :)

黑洋裝、一隻耳環、一夜音樂、兩首歌

轉眼間光輝的國慶日又要到了,那對我而言有點特殊的日子。
本來就暗暗計畫要特殊裝扮過那天,今天順水推舟,提早套上了黑洋裝、黑皮靴、只剩一隻的鑲水鑽耳環,喀喀喀的高跟鞋音敲打著的,是那深深刻在心頭的回憶。

You Make Me Free

"You make me free, You make me happy, 有翅膀就想飛,
You make me dreaming, Make me fly, 有自由就想追
You make me crazy, Make me feeling, 有感覺就不累
你就是我的明星, 讓聚光燈一路跟蹤
我們要擦亮眼睛, 捕捉流星, 一輩子都相信!" ~張惠妹

Frustration came to me recently, which kept me down. I was dealing with huge load of info every single day and was trying to figure out an organized way to digest it. I felt dumb, slow, and lack of value. I knew I wasn't, but I couldn't find the way to prove myself. So that I swallowed criticisms and tried to stay positive, to convince myself "c'est la vie."

At the same time, I was looking for my passion while I clearly knew where it went: That made me free, made me happy, made me dreaming, made me fly, made me crazy and made me feeling. AND, made me believe in throughout my life......

Deeply Touched by These Words...

...You have no idea how many other girls over here are envious of you and how smart and talented you are. Just remember the saying that the grass is always greener on the other side. You are you for a reason and that is to touch other people's lives the way they have touched yours. So in those darker/lonelier moments where you think to yourself, "I wish I were closer to my other friends in the U.S." or "I wish I had that job", just keep your head up and know that opportunities are everywhere and that everything comes together eventually. ~Eric
I received this note from a friend in Chicago. Upon reading it, the words with wisdom stroke me.

I am I for a reason and that is
to touch other people's lives
the way they have touched mine.

Thanks, Eric! You've changed my day entirely.

結合WebCam應用與音樂魅力,創意無國界!

在Kuso4Ever上看到的創意影片:
日本樂團SOUR的歌曲【每天的音色(日々の音色)】借用了眾多網友的力量組成了以下這創意滿分、視覺效果滿分、驚訝滿分的獨創性作品。有人會說「這個只要剪接就能完成啊~」可是我認為不只那麼簡單。「剪接」了不起解決了時間差的問題,影片中還有許多「精準定位」的難關需要透過明確、仔細的溝通才能成就;回到最原點:要能說服灑在世界各個角落的素昧平生的人們配合演出(他們錄製的影片可能也要NG多次喔),這也需要高超的動員力。

想到這個點子的人:辛苦了!(Masashi Kawamura + Hal Kirkland + Magico Nakamura + Masayoshi Nakamura)
參與影片拍攝的所有人:辛苦了!很愛你們的付出!

SOUR【日々の音色】官方BLOG上刊載「影片完成了!」的訊息(日文)
  • 他們透過官方網站與Mixi(日本重要的社群網站,地位如同美國的Facebook)的社群招募演出者,他們並指出--這真是個因Skype與Youtube而強大的世代啊~
  • 海外的回應者並不在他們的預期內,從這次招募中得到的心得:大家請多多運用社群的力量,把好東西多多跟好朋友分享!
  • 影片與歌曲歌詞的訴求很一致:這個世界充斥著許多不同的價值,到底什麼是重要的?做自己,演奏出自己的音色就是最重要的!然後我們各自的不同之處,就會譜成這個世界的繽紛樣貌--就像影片中展現的一樣。

CCTV TV Commercial Utilizing Chinese Brush Painting

This is REALLY cool! The one-minute video utilized Chinese Brush Painting to promote its brand image with several sub-themes:
  • From those virtual to those physical
  • From those limited to those limitless
  • From traditional to modern
It end with the CCTV logo plus the subtitle: "Believe in the Power of Brand." Isn't that powerful and convincing? From my point of view, it's MUCH better/deeper than the vague Yahoo Y!OU TV commercial.

生活,點滴

迷迷糊糊總是差點睡過站的捷運長途之旅,
監牢般高牆擋著的一格一格上班空間,
總是讓我看得頭昏眼花、一個又一個複雜的產品知識和組織結構和工作流程,
"所謂的"native speaker寫來讓我皺眉的公關/新聞/產品介紹稿,
左晃右晃舉棋不定到底還有甚麼可以吃的餐飲攤子,
團隊裡面某人又放冷箭或者大恍神或者捅大洞讓人哭笑不得、不知該做何反應的moment,
穿上熟悉的衣服宣示著自己對舊時光的熱愛與緬懷,
偶而會出現的「你反應好快、你學好快!」讓人輕飄飄的同事宣言,
神來一筆冒出來的三天兩夜香港員工旅行,
騎車朝著101大樓方向前進,卻深知自己越離越遠的悵然,
到了家就癱軟,只有力氣玩玩貓咪、開開餐廳、種種菜,無力思考的頹廢夜晚,
mp3裡一首歌就讓我爆淚,讓我不爭氣的墮回那再也回不去的曾經的爆發力.....

我也不懂。上面這段文字我也沒有真的看懂。
有好多好多感受在時間、生活的擠壓下我近乎無力提醒自己記得,更別談提筆寫下。
會怕,碰觸到那些關鍵問題,還有那些我憑本能就會脫口而出的答案,
加上那些我也不知道該去哪裡找解答的答案......

Nothing Ever Happened-陳奕迅

Was simply touched by this song and by his voice.
But you know what, it's not so easy to pretend that nothing ever happened- for those happened, HAPPENED.
Those loved, moved, cried, hated, dreamed, lost, fought, argued...... HAPPENED.


Nothing Ever Happened
作詞:林嘉欣/ 作曲:林暐哲
編曲:李守信/金木義則/梁介洋/黃冠豪/石博元/ 製作:林暐哲

Hey, you once called me your baby
say it for the last time
with all your strength and meaning it this time

Hey, you once promised me the world
but I never asked for it
but I never asked for it

Hey, you once praised me beautiful
why I'd get get weaker
why would I get weaker

oh Please, please don't,
I am so scared, scared you're too perfect for me
or am I too naive for you

either way it's too late
too late for regrets, I'm hurrrrrrt
leave me out of love
leave love out, leave me out

hey, let's just pretend
nothing ever happened
nothing ever happened

hey, let's just pretend
nothing ever happened
nothing nothing never ever happened

回憶

街口,一輛白色轎車頂端恰好有個亮晃晃的警示燈,於是我在這微涼的秋日,憶起了乘載著白色紫logo轎車在夜色裡狂奔的點點滴滴:
那幾間不一定好吃,但是氣氛很到點的餐廳;
那幾個不成道理的慶祝藉口,幾次藉機大喝mojito、把臉熱到紅紅脹脹的閃亮夜晚;
那座可笑的、醜不拉嘰的電梯;
那些party, after-party party;
那間小小、不起眼、卻永遠滿滿滿的咖啡廳;
那陪伴我不斷murmur的、暫時的避風港;
那座永遠藍得不像話的大湖;
那些聽了就寒毛直豎、繞樑數日的樂章;
那種熱切的期待,那種莫名的執著,那種別人很難理解的釋放。

轉啊轉,白色轎車頂上的警示燈轉啊轉。
轉啊轉,腦海中回憶的氣味、溫度轉啊轉........

Felt Happy When

I heard some songs that linked me to our memories;

I met with friends to review all those silly childhood memories and those people we knew;

Pipi came "talking" to me at night: "why don't you go to bed, honey sis?"

the view I could see from the elevator hall resembled that from 73F;

people I just met were impressed by my quick response to things;

I picked a nutritious and tasty bread for breakfast;

I woke up after 10 Saturday morning and found- I had millions of reasons to stay in bed;

my coffee smell just wonderful and went perfect with my marshmallow;

mom said I looked gorgeous even when I dressed something only NT$100;

I mentioned you with others and felt proud of having someone like you as "my friend";

others replied my email with spectacular updates and incredible encouragements;

in my dream, we could dance together, with our favorite music. us.

Wendy E-News[From G to A, Life Advances]

Dear my lovely friends,

Finally, no more wonder around for Wendy! I found a spot for myself and settled to start working, full-time.

July 17, reluctantly, I quietly left the 73F office when my contract expired. In my farewell statement, I told my beloved coworkers: "I will stay as the top fan of G products and of all those extraordinary talents like you guys- who are creating history for our world. Please keep your great works rolling!"

September 14, my new journey began at HQ of A*** TPE as a PM for graphics card. "Empty Yourself!" was the first concept my boss taught me. Actually, I AM empty in this completely new field. My potential was recognized by my manager and my team through three rounds of intense interviews. My ignorance about the product and my overly-ideal point of view were also tolerated- and the team offered me the opportunity to start learning from scratch step by step, asking millions of stupid questions to get more idea. I have started working for one week, an overwhelming week. The way to learn ahead is endless. Endless.

I indeed got some mixed feelings when looking back to this tumbled path:
  • I was insulted by some interviewer in person
  • I was valued by ex-bosses and was informed about openings twice
  • I was referred by alum and senior friends to their contacts
  • For several times, I prepared proposals for those unfamiliar products and processes and tried to win over my audiences
  • Unbelievably, I won my strong competitor who's a real professional in the field
  • For many occasions, I consulted seniors with urgent issues via phone/email and made them worry about me
My landing at A*** was not only a great news for myself but also a relief to my family and friends, I guess.
Thank you all for the support and concern along the way!

Lastly, my life was not that packed with tour or fun these days; Not that many great photos or life records either.
Some materials to share include:
Hope you can get a chance to visit my photos.
Hope you like my ordinary life right now.

All the Best!

Love, Wendy

W報報之【從G到A,生命晉級啦~】

親愛的大家:

百轉千折,我終於停止飄盪,開始工作了。

萬分不捨的,我在7月17日靜靜的離開了73樓的雲端辦公室,跟同事們宣告「我雖然離開了這間辦公室,但是我會繼續以頭號瘋狂支持者的身分愛著公司的產品,愛著為這個世界創造一頁又一頁歷史的大家。你們一定要繼續加油喔!」

滿懷忐忑的,我在9月14日低調的踏入了在關渡的A企業總部,新的頭銜是產品經理,新的挑戰在群雄爭霸的顯示卡。「倒空!」是老闆教我的第一個重要概念。其實不用老闆提醒,在這個十分陌生的領域,我本來就是空的。主管和團隊裡的成員在三輪面試過程裡肯定我的潛力,包容我這個過度理想化的門外漢的瘋言瘋語,願意給我一個機會從頭開始一步一腳印的學,用盡渾身本事的問笨問題。上班一週,震撼教育一週,我的學習之旅,還好長好長。

回顧這一段跌跌撞撞的日子,真是百味雜陳。
  • 我曾參與面試被對方主管當面羞辱過
  • 我曾被前老闆提拔,主動告知工作機會
  • 我曾蒙學長姐、前輩推薦,穿針引線介紹職缺
  • 我曾幾度從零開始準備整套的提案簡報,把再不熟悉的產品、流程都嘗試搞熟,包裝得很有說服力的模樣
  • 我曾擠下想也想不到能擠下的競爭對手
  • 我曾幾度在電話中、郵件裡徵詢前輩的建議,害他們為我擔心為我著急
這個塵埃落定可能不只對我是個好消息,對關心我的家人及朋友們更是鬆了一口大氣的好消息吧!

距離上次寫信給大家也是好長一段時間了,這段日子我玩得比較沒有這麼瘋,也留下比較少的相片和生活記錄。簡單可以拿出來分享的就是:
希望你有空能去看看,也希望你還喜歡我絢爛後歸於平淡的生活。

祝 天天都好!

Wendy

Blogger 加密大法!轉錄自Kaie's Blog

原文出處: Kaie's Blog 有這個功能以後我終於可以暢所欲言啦~~
感謝Kaie's大大相救!
以下節錄我需要知道的重點:
  1. 在Template的前加上<script language='JavaScript' src='http://vincentcheung.googlepages.com/blogjscrypt.js'>  (Blogger限定。故意用全形是為了避免造成程式混淆,實際使用時應該全部用半形)
  2. 在新增新文章時進行兩步驟動作:

  • 到http://www.vincentcheung.ca/jsencryption/old.html輸入「Key」欄位以及「Plain Text」欄位=>Encrypt Button(加密鈕,在Plain Text欄的下方),此時便會在「Cipher Text」欄位產生加密過後的文字啦(底下會用到..)!!
    ※千萬要記得上方你自行定義的Key,之後解密時要用的,若忘記了,恐怕沒有量子電腦(Quantum Computer)這般等級的高速電腦是解不出來的。
  • 嵌入文字片段到文章中(只顯示連結法):<A href="javascript:Decrypt_text('unique_name', '此段內容為由上面所產生出來的一整段火星文(例如:wRxSwskrWsmohc1...之類的文字)');">Show encrypted text</a>

    <div id="
    unique_name"></div>※注意上方的unique_name型態是div tag的一個id名子,可以自行命名,只要在template中,或文章中不出現同樣的id即可,否則會造成判斷錯誤!!也就是在一個顯示頁面中,有用到兩個以上火星文片段的話,那麼此id的命名就必須是unique_name,unique_name1,unique_name2...之類的。

Since You Knew My Value

You should have kept me with you.

I am still super appreciated of your thinking of me when there's chance opening up, R.L. and L.H.
Can't describe how wonderful that is to be recognized and kept in mind by someone like you.
These, proved my value.
So come on, please remember, keep those precious with you all the time, ok?

Life Is An Experiment

on what route one should take to get to the office;
on how much new information one can take and digest one day;
on how many hours one can sit in a meeting without losing focus and follow every piece of information;
on how many times one can successfully switch between English & Mandarin, new & old systems;
on how fast one can remember and match correctly many different names, faces and related info;
on what set one should plan to have for lunch and dinner to gain sufficient nutrition cost-efficiently;
on how one can convince him/herself to change all those long-time patterns and habits;
on how many times one can reset, reset, and reset to start from scratch.

Anyone gets the confidence to run this experiment, and makes it a Nobel Prize winning one?

Twitter-like "@Replies" on Facebook. More Tagging Potential, Deeper Engagement?

幼稚園童音版「朋友,我永遠祝福你」

這是我在興德幼稚園太陽班「上班」的最後一天。

剛剛到教室,就有小帥哥過來說「姊姊你今天穿得好~漂~亮~喔~」整個讓我心花怒放。

滿美今天也不知怎麼的,從剛看到我開始就非常多話,抓著我一直講一直講,偷偷的告訴我她最近到底在害怕什麼,要我幫她保守秘密(雖然我後來還是轉告老師了,因為這是滿美媽媽近日反映她讓人擔心的狀況)

還有,滿美今天變很黏,要拉著我陪她玩、陪她念書、坐她旁邊、聽她講話。甚至偷偷的靠在我耳邊告訴我:「跟妳說喔~以後妳可以來我家玩!」這樣的宣言在日本小朋友的認知裡可是件了不得的大事呢!

出去快樂城堡玩的時候,老師帶著小太陽們排排站跟我拍了大合照,也就簡單告訴小朋友拍照的原因:「姊姊下禮拜要去上班,就沒有辦法來陪小朋友囉~」語畢、合照結束,好幾張小臉就湊過來:「為什麼?是因為你會很忙嗎?」「我把拔也會上班,可是他晚上都會回來喔~」等等等等等。

中午快要下課前,老師彈鋼琴,叫小朋友們圍著我唱歌。「等等唱『姊姊,我永遠祝福你』給姊姊聽喔~然後想要抱抱姐姐的可以輪流過去。」然後我坐在幼稚園小椅子上聽著軟軟童音唱的、或者大呼小叫吼著的祝福歌,然後我被小鬼頭們團團包圍差點沒跟整團人一起摔倒,然後我看到幾個小朋友紅紅的眼眶在打轉的眼淚,然後我用力的告訴自己不要哭,只要開心的、輕輕的去拍拍幾個小鬼頭,哄哄他們就好。

像我一直做著的一樣。
沒甚麼大不了的。

Tricia的媽媽來的時候用手機幫我跟小小的她拍了合照。跟滿美揮手告別的時候心頭緊緊的。

好不容易重新踱入教室陪全天班的小朋友吃最後一次幼稚園午餐,剛剛挑了個位置坐下來,旁邊的小男生就發難:「你為什麼要坐這裡?你想念我齁?」
好害羞~我好像還是故意跟他盧了一下才承認「對啦對啦~我想念你。」
旁邊的其他小朋友於是不甘示弱的紛紛告白:「我也超喜歡你的!」「我是你的粉絲!」「我更喜歡你!比起校長我更喜歡你!」「我會很想你!」「你會不會放假?你放假再來嘛~」

我會記得妳們,親愛的小太陽們。謝謝你們甜膩膩的祝福,希望有機會再見喔 :)

Google Maps Street View Privacy Intro Video in Japan


I LOVE THIS CUTE IDEA!!!!

Basically it shows you the way Google take photos, and it shows Google's concern about people's privacy. It'll erase/blur the image of the plates on the car and at your door. When there's any miss, you can file a complain via phone or letters. Google will correct those reported parts for you. The message this clip sent is easy to understand. The way it expresses the idea is universally understandable. And it's SUPER CUTE!

Love it. Love it. Love it!

我的新男友......們!!

我被追求了.......
一次好多個.......
他和他和他會爭先恐後的抱住我 (羞)
我晚了一點點到他和他和他和他都會焦急,會不斷詢問
他要留我下來吃飯
他要我當他的女伴
不在身邊的時候,他會一直東張西望尋覓我在哪裡
要離開之前他會熱切的說:「明天見喔!明天見喔!」

唉呦,好困擾喔,這下我要怎麼辦才好~
而且男主角最小的四歲,最大的也不過才六歲,我該怎麼辦哩? (哈哈哈哈~)

好啦,坦白從寬,他們是一群我在興德國小幼稚園邂逅的小帥哥們。我因為媽媽的告知,熱心的前往幼稚園當志工特別照顧班上的日本小女生滿美,美國小女生Tricia,所以天天早起跑到幼稚園報到,陪他們吃點心、玩遊戲、跑跑跳跳、唱歌跳舞、畫畫、看故事書、吃午餐,所以跟這近30個小鬼頭越來越黏。有圖有真相:請點這個連結去看太陽班的大小太陽們~

也簡介一下我跑去的最主要服務內容吧~照顧中文幾乎還完全不會講的Tricia,用英文向四歲的她解釋現在班上在做甚麼,同時努力教她一些簡單的字,教她透過肢體語言適應團體生活。還要適時的陪滿美講日文,雖然五歲的她中文已經越來越好,幾乎都可以直接跟老師溝通她要做甚麼、想什麼、要去哪哩,可是多一點點的日文溝通就會幫助她表達更清楚,老師也更多了解她的個性。

她們真的很可愛喔~還記得第一次問Tricia「你從哪裡來?」時她怯生生的用童音回答"Taiwan~"因為她的確是在台灣出生,對這塊土地-家-的認同比她父母來自的美國賓州強烈。團體學習時教她一些中文的資訊,則讓她很困惑的直問"Why is everything in Chinese?"然後我就要很有耐心的告訴她"Because that's the official language here in Taiwan."

滿美跟我剛剛認識她時一樣熱愛繪畫。上次又讓他們在課堂上「畫自己」時她對於一個人的形體、裝飾已經掌握得非常好了,也很仔細的把大片大片面積的服飾、皮膚塗上滿滿的顏色。我看到她把臉塗成綠色的時候還用日文問了她一下「你是外國人嗎?為什麼你的臉是綠色的?」引來滿美一陣大笑反駁「我是日本人啦~不是外國人。我故意要畫成綠色的啦~就是喜歡畫成綠色啦~」當然,這個小插曲我也隨後拿去跟幼稚園老師分享。「滿美很知道自己是日本人喔!」

也在陪他們的過程中,我找到了很多很純真的感動。這麼小的小朋友真的很直接、很真、不做作。他們不會怕玩遊戲的時候小褲褲被別人看到;他們不那麼在乎男生和女生要分很開這件事,因為大家都是好朋友,玩遊戲的時候男生女生可以抱在一起、額頭對額頭、耳朵對耳朵、手牽手;年紀最小的、四歲的小朋友在第一個禮拜沒事就會忽然一把鼻涕一把眼淚要找爸爸找媽媽找爺爺,第二個禮拜就進步到老師只要給他一個溫暖的滿懷大抱抱、鼻涕擦乾,回頭他又瘋到不知到哪個角落去了;年紀大一點點的大太陽(六歲小朋友)經過提醒就很會照顧小太陽,之前經歷過老師照顧滿美歷程的小朋友,更是貼心的會想盡辦法用同樣的方式來照顧新來的、也是不會講中文的Tricia:玩遊戲的時候拉著她、吃點心的時候跟她分享、離開教室去逛校園的時候緊緊的牽著她的手、看她表情不對就跑過來緊張兮兮的跟我報告「Tricia不知道怎麼了?她累了嗎?她不舒服嗎?」

慘了,這下我捨不得離開這群小鬼頭了~去阿速斯上班後我就沒辦法黏著我的小男友和小女友們了耶,這下慘兮兮了~

「老師,那個漂亮姐姐怎麼沒有來?」好不忍心讓小朋友問這個問題,卻得到「她不會再來了」的答案喔 :(

聽奧,和101的煙火

我家的校長媽媽有票可以跑去現場看聽奧開幕,我乖乖待在家裡把電視、音響轉開陪貓咪看聽奧。

我喜歡賴聲川處理的場面,有大氣呈現的影音視覺效果,透過燈光,透過很到點的音樂,透過大片的布幔、清楚的圖形、艷麗對比恰到好處的色彩,透過雄壯的鼓聲、激昂的歌聲、高低層次分明的各種材質的物件。優人神鼓的開場把五個元素:地、水、火、風、空敲得震撼、擊得非常動感。神秘池塘出現的夏夜蓮花、翩翩舞動的蝴蝶、蜻蜓等生物讓田徑場看起來瞬間充滿水汪汪的涼意。林嘉綺扮演的女神用美翻天的方式飛入,坐在大牛上的小牧童在綠油油人海田裡與女神的互動,嘉綺用手語比出的「你就是力量」好優雅好動人。阿妹的歌聲和從天而降的展翅風姿也很有話題性,雖然我還是想念她早期剛出道時亮到不能再亮的原民嗓音。Q版的好神公仔晃幽幽的入場,讓場面既熱鬧、繽紛又不失趣味,不落俗氣。我個人最愛最愛的,則是「台北好好吃」這個橋段:到處跑動的香菇、豬血糕、麵條、米飯、魯肉、小籠包、青江菜、芒果整個太太太可愛了!ㄉㄨㄢ ㄉㄨㄢ ㄉㄨㄢ彈到碗裡去再爬爬爬把菜色擺好的巧思也真是太匠心獨具。我的媽咪啊~台北真的好好吃!有魯肉飯、有牛肉麵、有小籠包、有火鍋、還有經典甜品芒果冰!!!!!(感謝媽媽貢獻現場拍攝的火鍋照片一張~)
賴導演說故事的能力也展現在安慶隆小時候、年輕時、和現在的本人出現這個美妙的安排上,讓林嘉綺和總統夫人周美青兩度用手語對小朋友比出「這是一塊美麗的土地,用心什麼都能成,你就是力量」字串的安排也讓場面的溫馨指數滿滿上升。胡德夫雄厚的嗓音詮釋的"Power in Me"和他歌唱時的那種氣度讓我真覺得這塊土地也有帕華洛帝級的演唱家。李連杰和四名救難英雄上前為台灣祈福、為台灣加油的舉動讓大家熱血澎湃,希望源源湧現。

總的來說,我真的很喜歡聽奧開幕式的整體感、細膩感,也喜歡她展現的,屬於台灣的多元豐富面向:可以激昂,可以柔美,可以熱鬧,可以可愛,可以澎湃,可以感動。

而且這個聽奧夜,我在前往Patricia's farewell party前幸運的跑到了台北101在樓裡參與到了爆煙火的瞬間,和觀賞到在遠處三個點所施放的璀璨煙火。各位同學們,爆煙火當時正在101 59樓的我跟各位證實:大樓是會抖動的!!!!每一次的爆發站在窗邊的我都可以感受到強烈的「震撼」,我跟來不及跑上73樓的Emilie兩人嘰嘰喳喳鬼叫,後悔手邊沒有相機可以拍攝煙火的模樣。

不過我真的很滿足了,因為我怎麼也沒有想到我居然能在那裡--在101大樓裡--親身感受到3000枚煙火火藥爆發的威力;當然我也從來沒有想過自己能在那裏居高臨下的遠眺國父紀念館、台北小巨蛋、松山菸廠三處的煙火。

百感交集。

Ups and Downs, and Life Goes On


You kept me in mind and appreciated my talent, so you informed me of an opportunity.
You valued me and knew my passion, so you tried to tell me the truth.
You understood me and wouldn't want to leave me wtih regrets, so you asked, you showed respect, and you waited.
You highly valued me and knew me well, so you knew you should not give me a sky which might limit my height.

Ups, and downs.
I've not felt so sad for a while. 你對我最後的疼愛,是手放開。
I felt it. All of it.

"This has got to stop
This has got to lie down, down
With someone else on top"

Now I am even braver, to move on.
Thanks to your love.....

"Elephant"
~by Damien Rice

This has got to die
This has got to stop
This has got to lie down
Someone else on top

You can keep me pinned
It's easier to tease
But you can't paint an elephant
Quite as good as she

And she may cry like a baby
And she may drive me Crazy
'Cause I am lately lonely

So why d'you have to lie?
I take it I'm your crutch
The pillow in your pillow case
It's easier to touch

And when you think you've sinned
Do you fall upon your knees?
And do you sit within your picture?
Do you still forget the breeze?

And she may rise, if I sing you down
And she may wisely cling to the ground
Cause I'm lately horny
So why would she take me horny?

What's the point of this song? Or even singing?
You've already gone, why am I clinging?
Well I could throw it out, and I could live without
And I could do it all for you
I could be strong
Tell me if you want me to lie
'Cause this has got to die

This has got to stop
This has got to lie down, down
With someone else on top

You can both keep me pinned
'Cause it's easier to tease
But you can't make me happy
Quite as good as me

Well you know that's a lie

Keep In Mind

"我知道你注重很多無形的東西...不過偶爾替自己想一想吧~"

這樣動人的言論,我要牢牢的記下來。這是被了解、被在乎的感動啊~~~
Thank you!!!!!

Proud to Be Someone Like You

As passionate and idealistic as you are,
As organized and disciplined as you are,
As intellectual and creative as you are,
As prepared and down-to-earth as you are,
As kind and friendly as you are,
As international and open-minded as you are.

You might not know I've seen you as the role model of my life,
and I never plan to let you know.
It might be too early to make this statement,
but I deeply feel proud of being able to become someone like you.
I will keep trying, trying hard, to prove that I can be.
And I WILL BE :)

七夕悄悄滑過去了

浮上心頭的,卻是很淡很淡,在西洋情人節那天淺淺的,屬於我們的回憶。

我們甚麼都不是,只是恰巧在那個日子出門買菜,恰巧在那個晚上促膝長談;
莫名的聊了很多聊了很深,莫名的讓那躲之唯恐不及的霉日難得的彷彿快轉。
如今想起,還是忍不住要在臉上掛起一抹微笑。

狀態沒有改變,也可以視為有了巨大改變。因為早已不再在乎,也無力在乎。

如果堅持要說,還是可以說聲七夕快樂的~Happy Chinese Valentine's Day~

Compliments Received

"What a waste of your talents and your global view!"
"No way! You served for G before so you must be qualified for something more valuable than E"
"Impressive presentation. You apparently came prepared."
"We've talked with several other candidates but you are by far the most preferred one."
"You are quite competetitve, though we've only talked shortly."

Thanks for being so kind to me. Thanks for recognizing my efforts and my true value.

I just know.

Long For

Something solid at hand,
Something apeace me;
Someone listen to me,
Someone there;
Some dreams that last,
Some joys that stays;
Somewhere to release my power,
Somewhere to shine.

So close, yet so far away,
so confused, I am, while I shall not.....

(Whitman) Whoever You are, Holding Me now in Hand

I found this by chance, and I fell for this. The tender shown in this poem touched me deeply and I hope I could find that very special person for myself soon. Oh Whitman, Whitman, who is he that would become my follower?

Whoever You are, Holding Me now in Hand
(Walt Whitman (1819–1892). Leaves of Grass. 1900. )

WHOEVER you are, holding me now in hand,
Without one thing, all will be useless,
I give you fair warning, before you attempt me further,
I am not what you supposed, but far different.
Who is he that would become my follower? 5
Who would sign himself a candidate for my affections?
The way is suspicious—the result uncertain, perhaps destructive;
You would have to give up all else—I alone would expect to be your God, sole and exclusive,
Your novitiate would even then be long and exhausting,
The whole past theory of your life, and all conformity to the lives around you, would have to be abandon’d; 10
Therefore release me now, before troubling yourself any further—Let go your hand from my shoulders,
Put me down, and depart on your way.
Or else, by stealth, in some wood, for trial,
Or back of a rock, in the open air,
(For in any roof’d room of a house I emerge not—nor in company, 15
And in libraries I lie as one dumb, a gawk, or unborn, or dead,)
But just possibly with you on a high hill—first watching lest any person, for miles around, approach unawares,
Or possibly with you sailing at sea, or on the beach of the sea, or some quiet island,
Here to put your lips upon mine I permit you,
With the comrade’s long-dwelling kiss, or the new husband’s kiss, 20
For I am the new husband, and I am the comrade.
Or, if you will, thrusting me beneath your clothing,
Where I may feel the throbs of your heart, or rest upon your hip,
Carry me when you go forth over land or sea;
For thus, merely touching you, is enough—is best, 25
And thus, touching you, would I silently sleep and be carried eternally.
But these leaves conning, you con at peril,
For these leaves, and me, you will not understand,
They will elude you at first, and still more afterward—I will certainly elude you,
Even while you should think you had unquestionably caught me, behold! 30
Already you see I have escaped from you.
For it is not for what I have put into it that I have written this book,
Nor is it by reading it you will acquire it,
Nor do those know me best who admire me, and vauntingly praise me,
Nor will the candidates for my love, (unless at most a very few,) prove victorious, 35
Nor will my poems do good only—they will do just as much evil, perhaps more;
For all is useless without that which you may guess at many times and not hit—that which I hinted at;
Therefore release me, and depart on your way.

....的感覺

享受,暢快運動流汗的感覺
欣喜,被肯定的感覺

著迷,一起爆笑拍桌的感覺
熱愛,為夢想加班的感覺
感動,被護送回家的感覺

有你們、有我的感覺

白沙灣、淡水老街、恣意揮霍的夏日


偶然,跟著朋友很衝的在周日夏日炎炎的下午驅車殺向白沙灣。開車的Maureen太想到海邊戲水,壽星有兩百萬個要去瘋狂玩耍的理由,Emilie是晴天娃娃出遊沒有她不行,我太想念大水邊、也好想把悶壞了的自己掛到會起風的地方去曝曬、吹乾,So, off we go.

迷路的戲碼無情的一直上演,應該要負責指路的GPS不停的一直reboot,惟一賴以為生的手機行動科技專責lag,動用最原始的口語問路法以後終於我們在4:30抵達白沙灣。是的!那時候已經沒甚麼大太陽了~可是暖一陣涼一陣的水溫、被我們高高拍起三不五時飛向不知名目的地的海灘球、冷不防暴起的一陣大笑、把壽星放肆用沙掩埋為他量身訂做double D+水桶腰+宋七力金光閃閃的那些亮眼時刻、怎麼跳都不對只好動用相機連拍功能才留下我們東倒西歪飛翔身影的嘗試......暢快、放肆、無與倫比。

回程還是迷路,不過Maureen的肚子餓導航系統還是讓我們順利殺進淡水老街吃吃喝喝。炸章魚炸香菇烤鳥蛋烤魷魚巨無霸霜淇淋檸檬汁阿給魚丸湯.....血糖順利補充回升後的我們殺進射擊場贏了一個大氣球斧頭回來,逛了一圈懷舊小店把可樂糖、哨子糖、巧克力煙、戳戳樂、木劍、愛的小手玩了一遍,Vince開心買了兩張木質明信片後還硬是把明信片背後的空白處蓋紀念章蓋到滿,整個忘記至少要留一行寫地址和一點點招呼語。吃完阿給喝完魚丸湯的本日壓軸好戲:把剛剛買到的煙火點燃升空秒殺,然後耍小孩的把一支又一支的仙女棒點起來,靜靜的看火光燃燒、閃爍,把仙女棒舉高高,Just like a star

好久不曾這麼開心這麼義無反顧的玩耍了~真好
Thanks folks! Love you~

Summer Time, Pipi's Funny TIme


Yes, Pipi is still a cupboard lover. His other favorate in summer includes the washroom floor (b/c it's chill), mom's suitcase (soft and just about his size), the place before the window (birds and view outside) and my closet (chill inside, great view to see what I'm doing and shift places accordingly).

"How can I love him so much!!!!" Mom said. You just can't help it~

Value of Apple > Google Thanks to Multi-platform Potential

I happened to saw "Why Apple Is More Valuable Than Google?" on business week today. The discussion starts because of this fact:

As of Aug. 11, Apple was worth $145.87 billion, compared with Google's $143.40 billion... More likely, Apple has more solidly unseated Google as tech's No. 2 powerhouse and is now on track to one day challenge Microsoft for the crown.

But how come? If you have the same question, go read the analysis and you will get the clear picture. Simply put, Apple got various powerful products- hardware like iPhone, iPod, MAC & software like iTunes, Safari, AppStore. Furthermore, every and each one of these gets rooms for further development. The super loyal users, additionally, are so addicted to it and won't go away. Just.... no chance. Indeed Google is powerful in its search business, but it gets only this one cashcow. More risky than Apple's model. More likely to be harmed by antitrust laws.

Diversity. Diversity is the winning key in many fields!

來捐血吧~跟朱學恆一起築起熱血牆!

你可能是個窮學生,雖然看著電視畫面想捐錢救災,打開荷包卻發現沒剩兩毛錢;
你可能是個上班族,錢捐了,心裡卻不夠踏實,想要衝向災區志願服務,卻卡在辦公室;
還有甚麼方法可以把看電視流的眼淚,化成更具體的行動幫助受災民眾?
朱學恆說,來捐血吧!讓我們一起築起熱血牆~
http://www.meso.idv.tw/0808_lovetaiwan/

台北、新竹、台中、台南、高雄、花蓮都有捐血點的資訊。各血型的血庫庫存量資訊也盡量明確的整合呈現了。A型B型人,如果你在台中地區,血荒真的很嚴重你知道嗎?AB型的朋友們,血庫裡面經常缺乏的就是你們的血,明白嗎?
捲起袖子,如果踩不進受創嚴重的災區,至少你可以踏進捐血中心,也是救人一命。

*最新補充:感謝童軍團瑪莉團長補充,為了維持血庫的暢通與新鮮, 請
1~3月生日的人在九月第一星期去捐血
4~6月生日的人在九月第二星期去捐血
7~9月生日的人在九月第三星期去捐血
10~12月生日的人在九月第四星期去捐血
以此類推, 長期經年累月"供血" 若有第五個星期, 忙碌到忘記捐血的補捐
讚喔!大家可以參考一下協助實行

Those Kept Me Busy

  • Interviews.
PR agency, high-tech company, digital contents/marketing company

Project 2009, project management, anything about digital/social media and major players, graphic card market, major software providers' moves, how to make a marketing proposal myself that includes budget estimation and human capital
  • MUN related
Taiwan Model United Nations Development Association(MUNDA) initiation (action plan, intern hiring, documentation, budget planning, Board of Directors & Supervisory Board meeting preparation, etc), WorldMUN 2010 mentoring

  • Those missing.
A crystal clear plan about who I want to be in the future. Something I will feel terribly passionate about and will burn for it.
Someone who can hear me complain, lend me the shoulder, let me cry and hold me tight. (Yes I am emotional. I desire someone one-dial away. Is that too much?)
The view from high above. The colorful office. Those lovely happy faces. Best time ever.

Stay positive! Stay focused!

我也想念

那個我。
蹦蹦跳跳那個。常常笑,常常發現新鮮事的那個。
會繞著你打轉說不完遇見的新鮮事的那個。
明明就不是,還假裝酒鬼,還裝得很像的那個。
剛剛好會在白天醒來晚上睡前心情一煩躁就大聲的轉開Little Rock Star跟著嘶吼的那個。
忍不住不把看到的高樓風景分享給全世界的那個。
生命,可以像勁量電池一樣,永遠充飽滿滿的電的那個。
會唱歌、會聽歌、會寫歌然後被自己感動得一把鼻涕一把眼淚的那個。
不管到底對不對,硬是要霸在一個人身邊把喜怒哀樂原原本本倒過去逼你全盤接受,然後撒完嬌,或者被你嗆到翻,眼淚擦一擦就有好像沒事了的那個。

我也想念,那個我。
很 想。

[好文]微軟、Yahoo搜尋合作跟你有何關係?

微軟、Yahoo搜尋合作跟你有何關係?來自ZDNet Taiwan
ZDNET新聞專區:Tom Krazit 2009/07/30 10:54:02

(以下我摘錄重點,全文請看原網頁。這真是值得好好關注的產業大事!)

「大筆」一揮,微軟Steve Ballmer與Yahoo的Carol Bartz週三終於正式簽約,讓微軟瞬間變成全球第二大搜尋公司,Yahoo則成了媒體導向的廣告仲介商。

以下我們從各個要角的觀點來瞭解這起合作有何意義:

Yahoo

得到的:讓Yahoo可在18個月內保有固定營收,且可銷售Yahoo與微軟網站上的所有廣告。Yahoo可省下不少錢。

失去的:Yahoo在搜尋方面已經喪失自主權。

接下來:可能會有另一波重整;也會有另一波離職潮。Yahoo財報會比較好看,且長期而言Yahoo就不需放棄任何一塊業務了。

微軟

得到的:一天內就得到搜尋市佔率;Yahoo的搜尋技術現在可任由微軟挑選。

失去的:跟廣告主的搜尋廣告關係。

接下來:跟Google進行激烈競爭,現在雙方更有理由可討厭彼此了。

Google

得到的:時間。微軟/Yahoo的交易得花上好幾個月、甚至幾年才能完成。Google也可擺脫一些反托拉斯的嫌疑。

喪失的:難以再挑逗Yahoo與微軟相互鬥爭。

接下來:目前一切正常,現在兩大對手合作後,Google的壓力或許會大些,但這也是好幾年後的事情了。

廣告主

得到的:廣告預算終於有個比較像樣的第二個選擇了。

失去的:廣告主與兩家公司之間的關係會在未來幾個月變得比較複雜。

接下來:若廣告市場重新復甦,則搜尋廣告的關鍵字、位置與到達率都會有新一波競爭。

消費者

得到的:Yahoo的搜尋頁面會出現「Powered by Bing」字樣。

失去的:少了一個選擇。

接下來:目前還看不出對消費用戶有何影響。(陳奭璁譯)

Bottle Water, Do We Need It?

Thanks to a friend's kind sharing, I saw this slide and thought it valuable to share with everyone who value our environment and value your own health. I understand that for some part of the world, they do need bottle water due to the lack of safe tap water. However, there are many other people who purely enjoy bottle water thanks to its convenience and its supremacy.

Time to change your thoughts. For yourself, for your family and for our world.

P.S. If you are the owner of this file and you think it inappropriate for me to share your file this way, please leave a message and I will remove it. Thanks in advance, for your kind sharing and for the patience.

July 27, 2007, I took off from Taipei and arrived at Washington D.C. Two years precisely from that date, I am here at home again, Taipei.

Time flies.

Celebrate, with the cherries from NW US, which I loved to eat a ton during that first summer. Will I smell the freshness when I have a bite?

鄧麗君與Michael Jackson的關係.....

我服了鄧麗君,我以為這會是一場軟趴趴的表演,沒想到大師就是大師,她的舞台勁裝,她的舞蹈表演,她眼神的狠度和一舉手一轉身一顧盼的風采,輸了輸了!完全不可以小看小鄧的一代風華!!!

Enjoy!

Who I Am

Standard NTUer- pretty wrapped, hollow inside?
Pretty words, great vision, but not down to earth?
Forget to demonstrate true me to others?
Plan too much & be too careful?
Live on dreams and be driven by ideal?
Take care of everyone else's need but care too less about what I need?

Yes, and No. I have my ruler in mind and I am one of the best judges who can say which are insults or insights. Reflection, necessary. Yet no, I won't let criticism harm me. So thanks, and no thanks.

再見海角

再聽海角。
戲裡浮出你的不屑神色,透出你那不甚苟同的對這裡、那裏的分析。
「看得太認真了,你,」我記得我念過你,「不過就是齣戲。」
一個閃神,我又會想到腿中抱著一隻毛茸茸小動物吹夏夜晚風看戲的夜晚,還有那隱隱約約飄來的飼料臭。

再熟悉也不過。

下午跟一批同學的歡樂會面,勾起整大批整大批懷念的情緒。
我怪他,居然沒有放肆享用芝加哥的夏日就匆匆回國,徒糟蹋了一個我想回也回不去的仲夏。
還有那裏的音樂。那裏的音樂。
同樣的那種音樂搬了家陪我回到這裡,那種熱血賁張的感動不知為了甚麼沒有跟著海運抵達。
想在草地上鋪一席毯子,在陽光下恣意的消耗掉一堆啤酒,
想跳舞的時候跟著樂聲扭動,太舒服的時候就闔上雙眼靜靜的打盹也沒關係。
恨自己,沒有把握住放肆消耗那般特權的機會;
討厭自己,讓你跟這華麗的夢一起留在天邊。

不,我想念的不是國境之南。
恰恰相反,是北方那湛藍湖邊的一隅,可以稱呼她夢境之北嘛?

And I Love You So, G


So that I dare not to sleep. I am so afraid of the feeling that next time when I open my eyes, I am officially an alum, officially not a part of the amazing group....

I said goodbye with three groups of coworkers today- local category team (TW, CN, US, CH), transliteration team (TW, JP, US, CH), and TPE office members. For so many times, I could even feel the warmth transmitted through emails from the other side of the world. Sincerely they are so grateful for what has been accomplished by me, and they are so respectful for my time and efforts. I knew I was extremely lucky to be a part of this beautiful dream. I knew I was privileged.

At this last day, I saw my forth rainbow during my nine-week service. That was, again, an honor, considering the frequency was like..... once a month. I stood by the large window, appreciated the astonishing full circle of rainbow, touched. Deeply. It represented my life here. Indeed. Hopefully, onward as well.

I knew it was time to take off. I knew. I just refused to face the reality. Refused to wake up, from this most beautiful dream, ever.

All documents signed.
Equipment and badge returned.
Elevator 73->59, 59->1.
Last beep after I swiped the card.

The end.

And I love you so.
But I love you so.......

在乎與不在乎

只在一念之間。

她總是太在乎,又不巧的遇到了不在乎的人。
然後她就開始自我說服,一次又一次,洗腦自己放下,指著一團烏煙瘴氣說原來那些都不值得。
問題在哪裡?她已經懶得找。連眼淚都懶得擦了哩.....

「越來越漂亮了喔!」
So what?

叩關十年!台灣大學成功爭取2010世界模擬聯合國會議在台北!

臺灣大學模擬聯合國社(簡稱臺大模聯)日前在全球八個世界級大學的申請隊伍中脫穎而出,成功爭取到2010年世界模擬聯合國會議在臺北舉辦(2010 World Model United Nations in Taipei)。

   明年(2010年)3月,將有超過2000名全球各地學子來臺討論國際重要議題。哈佛大學秘書長Ami Nash將於今年8月底親自訪臺,會見臺大合辦團隊及勘查活動籌備情形。主辦單位也將力邀身兼哈佛、臺大「雙校友」身分的馬英九總統出席開幕式。這股「模 聯旋風」即將掃臺,氣勢銳不可擋。團隊也預計於9月開始招募會議副主席與會期志工,邀請臺灣青年一同見證這份榮譽。

  1994年,臺大模聯的前輩首度參與世界模擬聯合國會議,也是亞洲第一所與會的大學。在感動與啟發下,回國後創立模擬聯合國社,以期激發更多學生對國際事務的關心與熱忱。 歷年來,臺大模聯皆組團參與這世界性的學生盛會,不論在會議場或文化活動中皆有亮眼的表現。為持續推廣模聯精神,臺大模聯從2000年起五度嘗試申請哈佛世界模擬聯合國會議來臺舉辦。經過逐步修正企劃及爭取各方協助後,總算在今年一圓十年夢。

  獲知成功爭取會議後,除了興奮之情,申請團隊亦感激各界的鼎力支持與協助。馬英九總統、郝龍斌市長、經濟部國際貿易局、外交部 、陸委會、青輔會、臺灣大學等各單位在申請期間不吝予以團隊許多寶貴的建議、協助與指導。就讀臺大電機系三年級的團隊總召侯宗成表示:「我們期望號召更多台灣學生參與國際事務,藉由模擬聯合國會議,拓展身為世界公民的思維與視野。」臺大國企系二年級的副召楊涵茜也表示,希望藉此難得機會,將模擬聯合國會議帶進臺灣,也將臺灣行銷至全世界。

  世界模擬聯合國會議創立於1992年,是唯一每年巡迴世界各大城市的模擬聯合國會議,由哈佛大學與一所獲選大學合辦。歷屆舉辦地點包括雅典、日內瓦、伊斯坦堡、美景市、海牙等橫跨各大洲的城市。2010年3月,來自50多個國家、200餘所大學共逾 2000名學生將來臺參與這場盛會。為期五天的會議中,與會學生將使用聯合國的議事規則,扮演不同國家外交官,協商並解決全球之重要議題。除了嚴肅的會議討論,更有合辦大學策劃的相關文化活動,促進各地學子的文化交流與認同感。更多的活動訊息將陸續發布於官方網站: http://www.worldmun.org/welcome/

One Week in Beijing

Working hard, playing hard.
Most of the day time are packed with meetings and works.
Evening, something relax, and delicious.

It flew so fast, but I enjoyed every single moment of it. Cheers, my life in BJ~

The Worst Thing about BJ Trip

is my HORRIBLE allergy to food. Initially I think it's only seafood, but I guess it also applies for
  1. Soup with seafood inside. I cannot even drink the soup even though I've not tried the ingredients already
  2. Food that's not fresh enough. I ate everything else than seafood last night, I didn't drink any alcohol, I avoided spicy food=> I still turned red and felt itchy on my legs and arms.
Yes I'm taking medicines, but no it didn't help much so far. Due to the uncertain medical care quality here, I also hesitated to go see a doctor and got a shot to end my nightmaire for good. Da*n I hate this!
