Happy thanksgiving everyone
hm..lots of things to be thankful for this year. lots of ppl to be thankful for this year. definitely one of the more interesting years.. in a way, it's as exciting as ever :p things are happenning a little too fast for me :p
new job, new church, new friends, new basketball buddies, new IM buddies, new coworkers, new fellowship, new responsiblities..ahhh.. :p
but i am glad some things are still the same: old friends from all over the places, old table tennis buddies, old basketball buddies, old IM buddies. family, and last by not least God is still there challening me and blessing me all the time. and i miss our little tiny church FICCC in ithaca though.
definitely lots of changes this year. this past two weeks, i have been thinking a lot about the future related stuff. like what we gonna do with our enligsh ministry. also which ministry that i should serve in. The basketball thing is kind of on hold now since the weather is so cold, and personally i just don't have the enery and time to do all the logistic stuff to get the gym. Having said that, i think it's really a cool way to bond with the guys. I have made many good friends in the past this way. Kevin even suggested that we can have breakfast before we play and have a sharing time. team building time. sounds like a really good idea, but i am not sure how realistic it's possible to do it on a regular basis. also been thinking a lot about what's my next short term goal in terms of career. before i started working, the idea of phd never came to mind because i don't really like writing very abstract stuff or even just reading really boring research papers. some professors really turned me off at school. but now... i am like serious considering it because of various reasons that i started to realize while i am at work. it's starting to outweight my reaons for not doing phd before. just a little bit.. haha.. what a change. filip has been quite helpful in terms of giving me perspectives. oh.. 腓力 is my buddy at work. he started just a month earlier than me, so i guess we can relate better. and we play ping pong every day at work. thanks to him. i think my backhand is getting better, and i can do weird blocking moves now because i lop the ball high a lot to him so he can have a chance of winning. i still win usually though. haha..anyway.. here are just some of things that i have been thinking about. feel like i haven't wriiten anything interesting in the blog. usually just random picttures. i should learn to write better. that's always my goal. and learn to communicate better. anyway.. here is the thanksgiving picture. more pictures will be uploaded once i get my monthly flickr quota. heh
dinner at the Hsu's: hm..lots of random ppl from random places. (West Virginia, and Iowa) the food was excellent. thanks to Johanna and the "interesting" magic tricks performed by john and ben. haha.. that was very funnie.
oh..one other thing:
