If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

終於做了這個決定別人怎麼說我不理
只要你也一樣的肯定
我願意天涯海角都隨你去
我知道一切不容易
我的心一直溫習說服自己
最怕你忽然說要放棄
愛真的需要勇氣來面對流言蜚語
只要你一個眼神肯定
我的愛就有意義
我們都需要勇氣去相信會在一起
人潮擁擠我能感覺你
放在我手心裡 你的真心
如果我的堅強任性會不小心傷害了你
你能不能溫柔提醒
我雖然心太急更害怕錯過你

緩緩飄落的楓葉像思念
我點燃燭火溫暖歲末的秋天
極光掠奪天邊 北風掠過想你的容顏
我把愛燒成了落葉
卻換不回熟悉的那張臉
緩緩飄落的楓葉像思念
為何挽回要趕在冬天來之前
愛你穿越時間 兩行來自秋末的眼淚
讓愛滲透了地面
我要的只是你在我身邊

And you asked me what I want this year
and I try to make this kind and clear
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
'cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
and designer love and empty things
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
So take these words and sing out loud
'cause everyone is forgiven now
'cause tonight's the night the world begins again
I need some place simple where we could live
and something only you can give
and that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive
and the one poor child who saved this world
and there's ten million more who probably could
if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them
So take these words and sing out loud
'cause everyone is forgiven now
'cause tonight's the night the world begins again
I wish everyone was loved tonight
and somehow stop this endless fight
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

Congratulations to the
WE GOT THE AXE!! WE GOT THE AXE!! WE GOT THE AXE!!
This calls for some celebration...Cheers!
For
The hills send back the cry,
We're out to do or die,
For
We'll win the game or know the reason why.
And when the game is over, we will buy a keg of booze,
And drink to
So drink, tra la la,
Drink, tra la la,
Drink, drank, drunk last night,
Drunk the night before;
Gonna get drunk tonight
Like I never got drunk before;
For when I'm drunk, I'm as happy as can be
For I am member of the Souse family.
Now the Souse family is the best family
That ever came over from old
There's the Highland Dutch, and the Lowland Dutch,
The
Sing glorious, victorious,
One keg of beer for the four of us.
Sing glory be to God that there are no more of us,
For one of us could drink it all alone. Damn near.
Here's to the Irish, dead drunk.

When the training days are done,
And the Big Game's just begun,
And there's music in the air;
When our team runs on the field,
Stanford knows her fate is sealed,
For the Golden Bear has left his lair.
When the yells from lusty throats,
Start to getting Stanford's goat,
And the rooting section seems a howling mob, Hey! Hey!
Then you grab your hat and shout,
You let folks know you're about,
For you know that Stanford Jonah's on the job.
So...then... it's...
Up with the Blue and Gold,
Down with the Red;
We'll drop our battle-axe on
Stanford's head, Chop!
When we meet her, our team will surely beat her.
Down on the Stanford Farm there'll be no sound,
When our Oski rips through the air.
Like our friend Mister Jonah,
Stanford's team will be found
In the tummy of the Golden Bear!
At least one generation of Stanfurd students needs to know what it feels like to have never seen a big game victory over their years at the Farm. Go Big Blue, show 'em what you can do!!! GOOOO BEARS!!!!!

When you try your best but you don't succeed,
When you get what you want but not what you need,
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep,
Stuck in reverse.
And the tears come streaming down your face,
When you lose something you can't replace,
When you love someone but it goes to waste,
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones.
And I will try,
to Fix you.
And high up above or down below,
When you're too in love to let it go.
If you never try you'll never know,
Just what you're worth.
Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones.
And I will try,
to Fix you.
加油!

Welcome to the family Snowball II

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends
summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends
ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
Everybody hurts. You are not alone.

牽著你在天空飛翔
這樣看世界不一樣
有了你在身旁笑的臉龐
世界或許 就這麼寬廣
忽然就忘記了慌張
人海之中你最明亮
無意間的影響 漸漸擴張
你豐富我 生活感想
何必尋找所謂的天堂
原來我因為你 不想再去流浪
情願平凡 不擁有一切也無妨
有了你在心上 已經是天堂

What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
03/29/2005
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah
But I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find, you and I collide
I'm quiet, you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find, you and I collide
Don't stop here
I've lost my place
I'm close behind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find, you and I collide

disscuse about it?

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and i need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and i need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love
Is this the place that i've been dreaming of
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and i need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and i need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don't we go
talk about it somewhere only we know
this could be the end of everything
so why don't we go
somewhere only we know

She's only been waiting for like 10 years! =P j/k They are such a cute couple; I am so happy for them. If I ever need reassurance that true love exist in this world, I only have to look at how the look into each other eyes.

好久沒有妳的信
好久沒有人陪我談心
懷念妳柔情似水的眼睛
是我天空最美麗的星星
異鄉的午夜特別冷清
一個男人和一顆熱切的心
不知在遠方的妳 是否能感應
我從來不敢給妳任何諾言
是因為我知道我們太年輕
妳追求的是一種浪漫感覺
還是那不必負責任的熱情
心中的話到現在才對妳表明
不知道妳是否會因此而清醒
讓身在遠方的我 不必為妳擔心
一顆愛妳的心 時時刻刻為妳轉不停
我的愛也曾經 深深溫暖妳的心靈
妳和他之間 是否已經有了真感情
別隱暪 對我說 別怕我傷心

it's that time of the year again...nope, not Thanksgiving or Christmas. it's time for the Big Game between berkeley and stanfurd. i am so hype about the game this year 'cause we actually have the best chance to win...considering that we haven't won one for seven years, it's going be crazy if we actually do. it's also the 20th anniversary of THE PLAY, so it's going to be a memorable one and i am going to be right there. recently, i have been listening to Cal fight songs while I am studying. =P here are some of my favorites: Fight for California, Son of California and the Stanfurd Johah...on and for a good laugh here is something by the California Overtone. so cheer for Cal this week...GOOO BEARS!!!!

Chang-Lin Tien (July 24, 1935 - October 30, 2002) |
it's a sad day for berkeley, our beloved Chancellor Tien has pass away today at the age of 67. he was one of the most eminent icon at berkeley. he was respected as a former chancellor, as a professor, as a scholar and most importantly as a person. i respect him for his down to earth personality. i vividly remember him cheering for cal along the side lines with the students and as accomplished as he is, he still took time to reach out to students and listen to their needs. he was famous for his frequent strolls to Sproul Plaza to greet students, bringing cookies to those studying late in the library, and yelling a heartfelt "Go, Bears!" at events. if he returned to Berkeley at night after a long trip, he'd frequently visit the campus to check in with students working in his lab before heading home. he brought berkeley to its place as the best public university in the country and in his opinion THE best university in the country. not only did he make berkeley known as a place for academic achievements but he helped preserved the university's diversity and kept it a place where intellectual freedom can thrive - the hallmarks of UC Berkeley. He will be missed dearly but his legacy lives on.

in the spirit of Halloween, here is something i stumble upon - vincent.wmv (6MB). kids are funny, they have the cutest imagination sometimes. i wonder when did we became so "grown-up" that we're condition to only concentration on things that are possible? =\ i guess the brightest minds among us are those that still have a little bit of a kid inside of them, telling them to believe the impossible...in the words of Albert Enstein, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

this girl i know needs some shelter
she don't believe anyone can help her
she's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
but you don't want to get involved
you tell her she can manage
and you can't change the way she feels
but you could put your arms around her
i know you want to live yourself
but could you forgive yourself
if you left her just the way
you found her
i stand in front of you
i'll take the force of the blow...

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS! i repeat, 25 years! that's right cal have finally beating university of washington for the first time since 1976. to put it into perspective, none of the current players were even born when that last happened. aww, brings tears in my eyes...tears of joy of course. =*) all i ask now is that we beat stanfurd, which got killed by Notre Dame btw. =P anyways, GOOOO BEARS!!!!!

it's been a loooong while since i post anything about cal football...well, 'cause it's been a loooong while since they've done anything worth mentioning. but today after beating #15 rank Michigan State which putting us at 3-0 so far, it seems like the spell might have finally be lifted. to put things in to perspective, cal hasn't beaten a rank team since 2000 when we beat UCLA at triple over time (scroll way down)...and cal hasn't have a winning season since 1996 and last time we have a 3-0 starting season was 1993 and this is the same team that went 1-10 last year (let's never mention that again). SO PLEASE GOD, let us win the big game this year...7 years is long enough. (crossing my fingers) this is going to be THE year, i can feel it. but knowing cal football, i shouldn't get too excited else i am going to jinx it. now, i think i will actually drive up to watch the big game this year...looks like tickets are going to be a little hard to get now.

你真的忘得了你的初戀情人嗎？
假如，有一天你遇到了跟他長得一模一樣的人
他真的就是他嗎？還有可能嗎？
這是命運的寬容易
還是另一次不懷好意的玩笑…
如果這是最好的結局 為何我還忘不了你
時間改變了我們 告別了單純
如果重逢也無法繼續 失去才算是永恆
懲罰我的認真 是我太過天真
難到 我就這樣過我的一生
我的吻 註定吻不到最愛的人
為你等 從一開始盼到現在
也同樣 落得不可能
難到 愛情可以轉交給別人
但命運 註定留不住我愛的人
我不能 我怎麼會願意承認
你是我不該愛的人
如果再見是為了再分 失去才算是永恆
已死心的記憶 為何還要再生
難到 我就這樣過我的一生
我的吻 註定吻不到最愛的人
為你等 從一開始盼到現在
也同樣 落得不可能
難到 愛情可以轉交給別人
但命運 註定留不住我愛的人
我不能 我怎麼會願意承認
你是我不該愛的人
拿甚麼作證 從未想過愛一個人
需要那麼殘忍 才證明愛得深
難到 我就這樣過我的一生
我的吻 註定吻不到最愛的人
為你等 從一開始盼到現在
也同樣 落得不可能
難到 愛情可以轉交給別人
但命運 註定留不住我愛的人
我不能 我怎麼會願意承認
你是我愛錯了的人

So many fish in the sea...
Finding love is like fishing, said the old man. You've got to be determined to catch a fish and then be patient enough to learn how to do it. You're not going to catch a fish if you don't go to the river and find the right spot, the spot where the kind of fish you like live. You're not going to catch a fish without bait and a pole. It doesn't matter how many fish you can see swimming around. But even if you have bait and a pole, you're not going to catch a fish if you don't understand fish behavior. To do that you've got to spend time around them. You've got to know what they eat and when they like to eat it, and you've got to know their moods. For example, you've got to know if they like a song or two, and whether they like it at twilight or dawn. To get to know fish that well you've really got to like them. If you like them that much, they'll be easy to catch. But if you like them that much, you'll probably throw them back in the water. Near us on the riverbank sat a couple, holding hands and kissing. And I thought, getting love may be a lot like fishing, but when it comes down to it, once you've hooked someone the last thing you're going to do is toss them in the river. But I said, yes, I see what you mean. And quietly, we sang a fish song as the colored glints of gliding fish sent ripples through the water. Many years later, I finally understood what the old man had meant.

Something...Is about to give...I can feel it coming...I think I know what it means
I'm not afraid to die...I'm not afraid to live...And when I'm flat on my back...I hope to feel like I did
And hardness...It sets in...You need some protection...The thinner the skin
I want you to know...That you don't need me anymore...I want you to know...You don't need anyone...Or anything at all
Who's to say where the wind will take you...Who's to say what it is will break you...I don't know...Which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around...Don't want to see you cry...I know that this is not goodbye
It's summer, I can taste the salty sea...There's a kite blowing out of control on the breeze...I wonder what's gonna happen to you...You wonder what has happened to me
I'm a man...I'm not a child...A man who sees...The shadow behind your eyes
Who's to say where the wind will take you...Who's to say what it is will break you...I don't know...Where the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around...I don't want to see you cry...I know that this is not goodbye
Did I waste it...Not so much I couldn't taste it...Life should be fragrant...Rooftop to the basement
The last of the rock stars...When hip hop drove the big cars...In the time when new media...Was the big idea...That was the big idea
Kite - U2, All that you can't leave behind.

can't fall a sleep so i guess might as well update my website a little. nothing much is going on just busy as usual. i wish i can say i am liking LA more...kinda sux that jerry and henry aren't in the LA area anymore - they have abandoned me. >( i went to listen the LA Philharmonic perform Beethoven's ninth symphony recently. it was my first time going to an outdoor symphony concert...i had a good time. it was nice sitting under the stars and listen to some good music...can't never do that in the bay area since it's soo cold at night. although i am pretty musically challenged, i still appreciate the experience...for a moment i thought LA is not so bad. lately i am kinda in a bummy mood so i found myself listening to jeff a lot, here is one of his new songs that my friend introduced to me. check it out here. k, it's 4am i should really get to bed.
06/07/2002
wow! it's been a year since i last updated this. interesting to see that there are still people looking at this site. well, as of 6pm on 06/06/2002, i am officially survived one year of hell, aka caltech. i thought it will never end and with four and half hour finals, they sure made it seems like it. it has been a tough year, didn't really got to do too much - been too busy studying all the time. i've made some new friends but it's been hard to have a social life when i am getting my ass kick in school. i still don't think i am used to LA. first of all, driving in LA is just excruciating. if all of you think bay area traffic is bad, you haven't seen nothing yet. and what's up w/ the freeway signs. the always just tell you which city you're heading to but not the direction...how the hell am i suppose to know which direction long beach is? then there are LA drivers. Secondly, it's so hard to meet people here. i don't know if it's because i am in caltech all the time or just because LA is so huge. Last but not least, smog! need i say more? i suppose it does make the sunset look nicer but just imagine what it's doing to my lungs. well, since i was bored i decided to post up all the pictures that i didn't get a chance to update. please check them out here.

YEEAAH! I MADE IT! Today I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree of Bachelors of Science in Bioengineering. Today got to be of the happiest day in my life, no only because I graduated but also because I graduated with my friends. You know who you are. For without you, I probably won't be here today. I want to thank you for all their help and support through out the years and I will missed you dearly as we go our separate ways but you guys will never be far for each of you have a special place in my heart. =) Congratulations to each of you and GO BEARS! Check out new graduation pictures from the Photo Page.

Congratulations to Professor Ronald Gronsky for according the Distinguished Teaching Award. He is one of the most awesome professor I ever had. Whatever he teaches, I will take. He is known to be "The Man" but apparently he has one weakness - Kryptonite. It's a great honor to see him finally get this award, it's the only way we know how, to thank him for all he has done for us. Here is a picture of us with "superman".
03/30/2001
Well, it's official. I signed the papers today. I will be going to California Institute of Technology next fall for graduate school in Bioengineering. I will be doing their joint M.D.-Ph.D. program in conjunction with UCLA medical school. I believe this is the best option for me because it combines a first-rated engineering school with a top-notch medical school. There are also professors at both institutions working on neural-muscular systems, which is closely related to my research interest - recovery of locomotion after stroke or spinal cord injuries. On top of everything, they are paying me good amount of money, too. Thus, I would have to turn down offers from UCLA, UCSD, Stanford, Johns Hopkins and the hardest one of all - Cal. I will really miss Berkeley; there is no place like it.
02/14/2001
Happy Valentines Day everyone! Here is a song that fits this event perfectly. (Martina McBride - My Valentine) Today is a very special day for me, although it had nothing to do with my special someone. Today I received a phone call from Dr. Kabo of UCLA informing me that I have been accepted for admission to UCLA's graduate program in Biomedical Engineering. Woohoo! I guess I don't have to be an Educated Bum on Telegraph anymore. I am still waiting responses from other schools, but UCLA is definitely one of my top choices, especially when I will be doing the M.D.-Ph.D. option. Even though their Biomedical Engineering program is still relatively new, their medical program is ranked top five in the nation. On top of all that, UCLA will be offering me scholarship and stipend. Thus I would most likely be going there, but I need to over come the idea of going to our sister school first. =)

Happy Chinese New Years everybody! Anyways, sorry I haven't update this site as often as I should. I have been really tied down with Graduate School Applications and studying for the GRE. Now that everything is behind me, I promise to update it more often. Anyways, I have posted new pictures from my Las Vegas trip during Winter break. You can check it out at the Photo Album Page.

Today, Cal football did the impossible by beating UCLA in triple overtime
46-38. This was one of those games that you tell your grand-children
to. It was like "The Play" in 1982. I have waited four
years for a game like this and I am so happy that I finally got to see one on
my last year at Cal. This game was so emotional, I can swear, it was like
my life flashing before my eyes when Mark Christian-

Sorry I haven't been updating this web page as often anymore. School has been overwhelming. I am also busy working on my Med. School application right now. But for those of you still managed to stop by, as a bonus, I have three new songs under 'songs of the week'. Enjoy! (I hope Coca-Cola don't sue me for using their copyrighted slogan.)

well, summer is over. it's time for another semester of endless torture at Cal. can't believe it's going to be my last year here already. although it hasn't been easy getting through the last three years, i know i will miss this place when it's time to leave. oh well, more reason to make the last year count. i am taking 20 units this semester. gosh i am going to die. i already have a midterm next week. guess i should probably go back to study. btw congratulations to the Cal football team, i can't believe they actually won. =)

sorry, i haven't been updating this page. i've been really busy lately. kinda weird considering that it is summer. i am taking summer school at UCLA right now. UCLA is fun, their campus is much nicer than Berkeley and the weather is consistent. (let's see the weather forecast for next couple of weeks will be sunny upper 70s and lower 80s.) however, i still like Berkeley better. i know this is an over generalization but people here seems very superficial. i think one reason why Berkeley is such a prestigious school is because of the student there. at Berkeley you can talk to anybody, regardless what their major are, and have an interesting and rewarding conversation. i think i have learn more in the past three years at Berkeley then i had in all my 12 years of pre-college education, both inside and outside of classroom.

well, i finally finished all my finals. yeah!!! i have to say that this is by far the toughest semester i have so far at cal. taking 19 units while doing research was kinda suicide. luckily all my friends were there to keep me sane. many thankx to henry, jerry, soyen, amy, kent, swati, joe, jasmine, hao and whoever i forgot because it's 2 in the morning after two VERY long weeks. i wouldn't ever get though ME106 w/o you guys. i am kinda sad that this semester is over, i am going to miss all of you guys.
Today is also my brother's graduation day. Congratulations Frank. This is your day; you deserved it.
Quote of the day:
"The great pleasure in life is doing what
people say you cannot do." I got this off a fortune cookies
today. Although the origin is mundane, it does hold some fundamental
truth about life. There is nothing like the feeling of accomplishment
when you achieve something that no one else thought that you are capable of
(including yourself sometimes). Being final season here at
Why is it that steak house like Outback or Black Angus are soooo dark? is it because they don't want you to see what you're eating? i can hardly tell the difference between henry's bread and my steak when we were at Outback yesterday. (esp. when henry is cutting his bread w/ a knife and fork) well, next time if you went out on a blind date and he/she turn out to be very "unattractive", be sure to take your date to a steak house. that way you don't get "distracted" by his/her looks when you're eating.
In responds to kent's comment on animal rights protesters. i don't get why these people are so against using animals for scientific research in the first place? i mean many of us (including those "ungrateful" animals-rights activist) won't be here today if not because of these researches. although i believed that animals deserved to be treated humanely, they don't have rights. ones "rights" only exist if his/her/its branch of government recognizes these rights. so unless there are little "animal-government" out there (very unlikely), even if we give animal rights who's to stop a mean wolf from attacking a poor, cute, helpless rabbit? if these protesters think that a monkey is more important than the lives of millions, then may be they should start volunteering themselves for scientific research instead of vandalizing research labs. this will probably be a better use of their time and especially our time.
