Wedding DVD part 2
I’m done with the wedding DVD.
It took a long time to author, but thankfully I didn’t have to redo anything. There were some imprefections here and there, but nothing we can not live with. Things that I regreted not doing for this release of our wedding DVD:
Should normalize the audio level, it would’ve taken more [...]

Wedding DVD
I’ve been really busy for the past few days.
It’s been 10 months since our wedding. I had not gotten around to put together our wedding DVD since then because there were so many other things for us to do.
Now that we are going to Shanghai, I thought it’d be nice for JY’s parents to see [...]

Losing weight
Today during lunch, my colleagues and I were talking about healthy eating and weight loss. One of my colleagues has actually lost about 50 pounds recently. He told us that his secret was to follow the Weight Watcher’s point system religiously, and to exercise regularly. That really is the only way [...]

上海有什么好玩的地方
JY和我计划九月底回上海。我从来没去过上海那边。 这次JY怀孕时候回去，估计我们没法走太远。而且只有两个星期，也去不了太多地方。我们的朋友Alex借给我们一本上海旅游指南和一份上海地图。 我看过以后暂时定了这些地方：豫园/城隍庙，浦东，南京路，外滩，徐家汇。 我还想看看江南水乡的景致，所以将会考虑朱家角，同里，或者 乌镇。如果你们知道什么其他好玩/好吃的地方也请告诉我，先谢了。

Book Review: Blink
It’s so rare a book can be so fascinating in so many different ways.
If you haven’t read the book: Blink : The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, run, don’t walk to your local bookstore or Amazon and buy a copy right now, it’s worth every penny.
I was initially exposed to Malcolm Gladwell’s writing reading his [...]

I enjoyed the class quite a bit. There were [...]

我家宝贝动静皆宜
JY 怀孕四个半月了。
从几个星期前（大约在做完B超之后)开始，肚里的宝贝开始有动静。
可是孩子有了动静又让我们有了新的担心。现在我么使孩子动了也担心，是孩子不动也担心。 如果孩子一直地动我们会想是不是她不舒服，如果孩子过一阵子不动了我们又会想是不是孩子发生了什么意外。
就好像上个星期天， JY发现孩子不怎么动了，我把耳朵贴在JY肚皮上。 这样过了几秒钟，小宝贝突然隔着妈妈肚皮踢了我一下，吓了我一大跳。不知道是不是孩子喜欢我的耳朵。
希望我们的宝贝不会因为不动或者动得太厉害让我和JY心急。
你们有过同样的经历吗？

Spiritual Journal
Yesterday during our weekly bible-study, we went over Chapter 39 of The Purpose-Driven Life by Rick Warren.
BTW, if you haven’t read it, and if you are a Christian, I strongly recommend studying it. It’s full of advice on goal-setting, and practical ideas on becoming a better Christian.
Anyway, in this chapter, Rick talked about having [...]
