사랑하고 싶어

If the pictures below ring your bell with a classic Korean pop song, 소방차 (Fire Engine)'s "사랑하고 싶어 (I Want To Love You)", you must have been living in Korea around 1990. (I did!)

"소방차"는 아니지만...

Love Tokyo

By the way, the International Olympic Committee will meet next Friday in Copenhagen, to decide the host of 2016 Olympic Games. As many of you know, candidates are Rio de Janeiro, Madrid, Chicago and Tokyo.

I do love Tokyo (and Chicago).

But, also I Want To Love You, IOC!!

Family Value

iPod family

From the left, iPod shuffle, nano and Touch.

This iPod family would never exist without my family; My wife bought the nano for me, and I got the Touch from my brother.

Family is, good.

Just like the iPods, my wife and I are gonna have the very first kid in our 9-year marriage.

"Let's Just Be Friends" (by Kero One)

So, here I am. Back to school.

Yet, never imagined that I would study high school math again. Algebra, Differential and Integral Calculus and so on.

It was a one-week prep class. I wouldn't have taken it unless my interviewer advised. I studied 'em at high school, and wasn't so bad. But hey, it's more than a decade ago. Be humble, I said to myself. It could be a good warming-up, I supposed too. A good opportunity to learn what it is like going to school at weekday nights. A fairly good chance to meet and get along with new friends before fall semester begins.

So, here're what I got.
Well, first of all, to my disappointment I realized I barely remembered calculus. Second, arriving home at 11pm, got extremely tired and sleepy next day, which was another disappointmnt that I'm getting old. And I just turned 33 lately... But, have already met half a dozen friends, and can't wait for my school starting in a couple weeks.
