It’s been 4 years since I started this blog. Last year to celebrate the occasion I gave the blog a total facelift with 4 switchable designs. I wasn’t going to re-invent the wheel so quickly, so for this year I set my eyes on improving the existing themes. With the switchable system in place, the update was much easier than ever before. Therefore, to celebrate this blog’s 4th birthday and Harry Potter’s birthday – which is tomorrow if you remember from the books – I announce the launching of a newly re-design Wizard theme!

The boundaries of New York City’s neighborhood is always difficult to figure out. No one can tell you for sure the boundaries between East Village, LES and NoLita, or for a even more confusing fight between the Greenwich Village, West Village, Central Village, and Noho~
In North Brooklyn, it seems much easier because of a natural border of McCarren Park – South of the park is Williamsburg and North of it is Greenpoint. However the easy distinction is slowing eroding – First Williamsburg going from just Northside and Southside, …

The night before Voldemort was hunting me down. He first came to my apartment when I wasn’t there. Who knew he would play some childish tricks by messing up my apartment? I came back home and turn on the water, well it’s not water anymore, it’s dirty sewer water! Of course my roommate was mad about that, but I was like, it’s not me! You know who did that, it’s my nemesis Voldemort!
When I get out of the house Voldemort saw me and started chasing after me. …

After a week of the use of the new iPhone 2.0 software, my impression is actually mix even if I love the ability to install new apps. The biggest problem I have is that now it takes 40mins to an hour to backup every time you connect it to iTunes. It seriously takes more time to backup something less than 8 GB than let’s say, a clean install of OSX on a Mac! Ridiculous!
Other than that, I am quite positive about the upgrade. The Chinese input system …

Ever since I started my new job, my cheap Japanese lunch choice has been cut in half. My usual choices when I was working at 43rd and Madison were Oms/B, Zaiya and Zaiya in Kinokuniya. Occasionally Chiyoda and Yagura. Now that I work right on the same block as Oms/B by Lexington, it’s way too far to walk to Kinokuniya at 6th Ave. The regular Zaiya, Chiyoda and Yagura are doable even though they are all the way at 41st St and Madison, but during …

昨晚我又再哭了，只因是自己傻。安裝了一個Whitepage的App在我的iPhone上。打開這個App看見放名字的空格，不其然地便放進了他的名字。誰想到真的找尋到他的資料。 原來他搬了，搬到他以前常提到最理想的地方。不知怎樣，心一痛眼淚已經不知不覺地流下。或者是因為這令我驚覺他以前提到將來的生活，我已經不包括在內，已經 無法參與了。雖然四年以來我還是有斷斷續續地和其他人來往 ，但是對他的記憶我還是無法忘記。是我真的這麼長情嘛，還是自己愚笨，根本不懂得去忘記過去? 他早就已經不在我的身邊，但是原來每一天他還是在傷害着我。到抵是他在傷害着我嗎 ?還是自己沒有停止過去折磨自己?
真的不知道原來自己是這麼的恐怖， 還是在渴望可以再一次去遇見他。

Apple’s marketing department always come up with something simple and yet to-the-point, elegant promoting materials. Just look at their promote teaser for their first store in Beijing, China: I just love the simple graphic of Apple’s iPod earbuds that got twisted into the shape of a lantern!
Now when will there be an official store in Hong Kong?

I was running down the heavily wore out staircase. The maintenance staff was trying to figure out which piece of the wailing fell out. I told Janet the piece that she has in her hand should go on the side. We chit-chat a bit and she mentioned the condition of the staircase will get worst when the security will station permanently on the staircase itself on the 3rd floor.
I walked down to the basement where the cafeteria is located. Many students were already there. I had an important news to …

This dream takes me straight into Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series, where the accident-prone Bella once again face another dangerous location – the Laundromat! I wasn’t sure why she would be in a Laundromat, given that her house would definitely have a washing machine. But here she is, putting all kind of clothes in the machine, no matter if they are light colors, dark colors, big or small. Then she poured the wrong amount of detergent which would result in a total destruction of all her clothes. To top it off, …
