Grand Opening

Finally, I've jumped on the bandwagon. It's been, oh, almost two years since I first saw a blog. I was in a lab, asking a student of mine what the hottest trends among college students were. The answer: IM and blogs. Now I've long abandoned IM (1998 was the last year I used ICQ) and blogs, bumbling thoughts as random as they could be, didn't really excite me, back then.

How have things changed! A trip to China last month made me realize 1) how backward we are living in the US (look at the migrant works playing with their fancy mobile phone); 2) I need to feel young (if I can't look so :)). With the many feelings I had about the trip, and my life in general, and to catch up with the whole world, it's time that I start a blog.

So here it is.

Like the grand opening of anything, I want to thank Nana for graciously offer this place as my little corner of the web. And friends at Paowang. Even though I don't post that much, I enjoyed reading all your posts.

Finally, apologies to those who hate to read English. I decided to write in English solely because it's convenient for me to type. Plus I've always wanted to be a little different--so I didn't waste time to set up the first English blog at Paowang. I hope you'll come to like it. If only for a chance to read some English.

I will come for reading English, as long as your topic is interesting for me.

Congrats!

It is not that I don't like catching up with the trends but I find myself, often times, refusing to catch up.

Are you using PDA now? I hate it...and still use a piece of paper...haha.

I will come often to examine your homework. Keep it up:)

Sure. I'll try to keep it interesting.
