Sudoku.

I finally tried my first game of Sudoku.

We were waiting at the taxi stand when my girlfriend picked up today's papers and started solving the sudoku puzzle. Of cuz I didn't like to be left alone. So I complained that it was such a boring game of silly additions for the numbers in the boxes. To my surprise, I had always mistaken the rule of the game. It was much simpler. No need to do any addition. It was purely a test of deductive skill. Very focus. Soon I took over the papers and started solving the whole puzzle myself. I realised what got so many people hooked to the game.

It is the success. Probably there are many more difficult puzzles but it just take a few easy ones to get one hooked. The success in solving a puzzle encourages one to solve more puzzles. I was too quick to pass my judgement on it initially. Only with better understanding of the rules was I able to better appreciate the game. Of cuz you may think, "You play one puzzle only, talk so much". I totally agree.

I can't help but to draw parallel between this little incident and the way I should live life. Will I solve more puzzles? Or is this just a temporary interest? heh heh. Thanks dear for introducing me to the game. We shall see! ~~Happy Halloween!~~

Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...
