Episode of Color Yellow – My Personal Experience with Discrimination
Posted on May 6th, 2009 No commentsOn Tue, April 9, Texas State Rep. Betty Brown suggested that Asian-Americans should change their names because they’re too difficult to pronounce.
“Rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese — I understand it’s a rather difficult language — do you think that it would behoove you and your citizens to adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here?” Brown said.

After the meal, I bought some frozen buns and 8 treasure rice/sticky rice dessert to enjoy at home this week.

Posted on May 3rd, 2009 No commentsWhen I drove/moved back to San Jose at the end of March, I could only stuff so many boxes in my trunk and back seat.

But once I got back to San Jose, I found I literally have no space for any of my stuffs Read the rest of this entry »

Not Your Usual Running Group
Posted on April 29th, 2009 No commentsThe Hsinchu Hash House Harriers has just celebrated their 10 year anniversary on Sat April 25, with 105 people show up on a rainy day, and so sorry that I missed it by 5500 miles. What is or who are Hsinchu Hash House Harriers? Not too hard to tell from their tagline on their website – “Hsinchu’s kennel of the Hash House Harriers. The drinking club with a running problem.” And I can’t forget how I got involved with a drinking club that’s situated on the other side of the globe.

for “Product Recall Notification”; it’s about a Senseo Coffee Maker
that I have purchased almost two years ago and I was surprised that Amazon has notified me about this. Reason one it has been a while since the purchase, and I have bought two exact Senseo back then – one from Amazon

Prost! German precision!
Posted on April 25th, 2009 No comments
OK, so it is 3:10pm on a more laidback Fri afternoon, and you won’t need to Skype with the engineers in India or your PM in Taiwan — TGIF! You email, Facebook, twitter to bounce off ideas where to F2F tonight with your buddies…, communication is action! Later that night you sit down at a microbrewer and so looking forward to the tingly spicy hot wings and “a pint of” ice cold beer…
“Wait a second, my beer isn’t poured full” your skinny German colleague barked!
