Mark, thanks...

By June Mark, I know you will not read my Blog. Even if someone who knows you reads this Blog, he will not know it's about you since Mark is such a common name. I have always believed in kindness and practiced random kindness. Deep in my heart, I believed I w ould be rewarded with kindness somed ...

It's a terrible day for at least 47% of the Americans...
热度 1 虞左俊 2012-10-26 15:52
Every four years, the US is divided almost right in the middle. Today, the 47% for Obama is very worried. In fact, the NPR discussed about immigration to Canada yesterday, because some people said they would move across the board if the GOP wins the presidency. I didn't realize that it was not easy ...

A family needs a housekeeper...
虞左俊 2012-10-22 04:35
or a homemaker, be it the wife or husband. I still remember what my grandma said when I was little. She said housekeeping kept her busy all day long. I knew what she was talking about: maki ng three meals each day for 3-4 people, doing washing, keeping the apartment clean, and getting us fresh ...

Working from home needs a strong will…
虞左俊 2012-10-2 07:28
because there are too many temptations, video clips on the internet (not so easy to watch them in an office with the door wide open), Blogs to read, snacks, drinks, etc. To start, I set a small goal: to finish reviewing a manuscript for a journal. Once I have done that, I am FREE for the rest ...

When a speaker goes over time...
热度 1 虞左俊 2012-9-20 13:40
Who's fault is it? I am not talking about going over time for 5-10 mins. I am talking about going over time for more than 20 mins! The speaker should respect his audience, so should the seminar chair. When it's one-hour seminar, the speaker should leave 15 mins for the audience. If you cannot do ...

So long, China
热度 1 虞左俊 2012-9-17 16:28
We left Baiyun Airoprt a few hours ago, and are on our way home. We chatted about the news regarding ongoing unrest in China, and agreed that damaging properties is NOT a good thing.

Don't trust "translate.google.cn"
虞左俊 2012-9-14 22:53
Why? Try to translate "monsoon." It will give you "rainy season." Ok, that was what monsoon used to mean (actually, it used to mean heavy rains in summer over India), but not any more. Instead, you should go to wikipedia.com and read the first paragraph on "monsoon." (Unfortunately, its third pa ...

Good morning, birds.
热度 1 虞左俊 2012-9-13 06:23
It's a nice change of surrounding. I am staying at the campus hotel of Shantou University. It's located next to a reservoir, with trees and "lake view." In the morning, I am greeted with birds' chirping. This is better than what I have in Hawaii, with both highway noises and lots of birds. I feel ...

Good-bye, Beijing
Morning view from my hotel room ps. This is the only morning I saw blue sky since I arrived a week ago, thanks to the downpour last night. I enjoyed working with my colleagues here very much, and I had loads of fun meeting old and new friends. (Don't be upset if I didn't get to call you o ...
