七年級生可能對金門王跟李炳輝的這首「來去夏威夷」有點印象。那俗又有力的歌詞跟MTV裡逗趣的動作，讓我當年每次在電視上看到MTV，就一定要巴在電視前跟著金門王與李炳輝一起唱到完。我那有點無厘頭的老爸如果在家的話，還會跟著我一起唱，兩人一起「來去~~」「來去~~」「咱來去go to Hawaii!」，一搭一唱的可開心的咧!

我跟「來去夏威夷」這首歌的緣分並非到此為止... 因為十年後，這首歌居然成為我們的婚禮送客音樂。

我們訂婚後，連婚禮婚宴日期都還沒選，就已經決定要去夏威夷度蜜月。我們兩個都沒去過夏威夷，但自從我認識雞屁股先生以來，老兄他就老是嚷著要趕快畢業搬去那有山有海的地方工作(德州地大，但就是沒山沒海)。這回趁蜜月旅行，怎麼能不去看看夏威夷的究竟呢?

Texas wildflowers

Last weekend my husband and I went down to the Hill Country of Texas to visit a good friend (my hubby's ex-roommate) who's living and working on his grandparent's ranch. We arrived a few weeks after the bluebonnet bloom, but we were welcomed by other beautiful wildflowers.

上周末我跟雞屁股先生開車去德州中部拜訪他的前室友。我們雖然錯過了德州州花 Bluebonnet 的盛開時期，但仍在朋友的農場上看到整片的野花。誰說德州不美?

Whoever says Texas is ugly has NOT been to Texas hill country.

A day to remember...

Took the weekend off from work and blogging because... yesterday was my birthday! We celebrated on Saturday though. My hubby planned a day trip for us to a mysterious destination which he wouldn't tell me beforehand. I had to guess where we were going as we were driving there. We stopped by a small town diner for lunch and then went on to our destination - a wildlife/safari park! We drove our car through the park and these wild animals just come up to the car and greet us (of course it's b/c we have food for them). Some were kind of scary/odd looking but some are just adorable. We got to hand feed a giraffe! That had the be one of the coolest experience EVER.

The ostrich poking his head into the car to check out what was in the feed bag (nothing - we were out of feed by this point).

On the immigration front - no new development. I'm waiting for the biometrics appointment letter but no sign of it as of today (day 17). They did update ("touch") my application a few times last week though with the last one on 3/25/2010. Must... be... patient...

Winter delight

NYTimes: Taiwan’s Steaming Pools of Paradise

A college friend (a through-and-through New Yorker living in Taiwan) posted this. Hot springs are just so wonderfully wonderful in the winter times. So if you've never been to one, I recommend that you try it out the next time you're in Asia (Japan or Taiwan - I'm not sure what other countries are fans of hot springs).

I'm keeping this short because I'm meeting with my adviser in the morning to go over some slides for a talk I need to give next Monday. Off to bed to give my brain a break from science.
