Heavy Snowing

今天和媽媽通了Skype(with Tom’s new Eee PC,通話品質比之前好很多,這間接證實Tom’s headset應該是壞了)。在話家常時,媽媽說大溫哥華地區下大雪,是近幾年來少見的。我家的社區,不應該是說我家前後院的積雪就有50公分~~我說真的嗎?媽媽說:是!積雪大到都不能出門了~~~~我所幸的叫Tom去照幾張照片來看看~~結果,Woo,好酷喔~~這個積雪高度,讓我想起和佑哥哥Mountain Washington 滑雪時,公路兩側的積雪高度,真是有過之而無不及。其實我也別高興太早,拜溫室效應所賜,天氣變化多詭。再過不久,我也會有機會到這麼高的緯度求生,祝你好運啊~~~~(帶個十字鎬和小圓鍬吧~~~~)

City amble

下午,在參加完一個座談會後,等待打球之際,我,愜意的杵在國父紀念館的園區中。心想,好久沒來了!
欣賞著四周的市景,吹著微微的風,真是舒服~
隨手拍了101大樓。實在是不太會拍夜景,但是想到幾天前,在翻使用說明書時,介紹了一個模式,今天用了一下效果還不錯。大家將就一點。










不久,紀念館的最後一班衛兵下崗了。
隨後,衛兵冉冉的降下國旗,為今天劃上了一個完美的句點。
再降旗之際,頓時,一種莫名的情緒,湧上心頭。
我知道,是那起初的熱血。
讓我再次肯定,我,對國家過去的貢獻。
只是,對照現今,有種找不到對價關係的失落…….

Land of freedom, home of brave.

Taking Chances----Celine Dion

Taking Chances----Celine Dion


Don't know much about your life.
Don't know much about your world, but
Don't want to be alone tonight,
On this planet they call earth.

You don't know about my past, and
I don't have a future figured out.
And maybe this is going too fast.
And maybe it's not meant to last,

But what do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

I just want to start again,
And maybe you could show me how to try,
And maybe you could take me in,
Somewhere underneath your skin?

What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?

Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

And I had my heart beaten down,
But I always come back for more, yeah.
There's nothing like love to pull you up,
When you're laying down on the floor there.
So talk to me, talk to me,
Like lovers do.
Yeah walk with me, walk with me,
Like lovers do,
Like lovers do.

What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

Don't know much about your life
And I don't know much about your world
