Books to read in 2009

11:22 pm | Tags: Diary, Thoughts

There are a few books that I want to read in 2009. My goal is to read at least 25 books this year. (last edited: August 4, 2009)

  • The Wealthy Barber by David Chilton
  • Twenty books of The Holy Bible
  • The Green Collar Economy by Van Jones
  • Why Your World is About to Get a Whole Lot Smaller by Jeff Rubin

I will keep reading and keep updating this list.

Books read this year (and counting) (as of July 23, 2009):

  • Who Moved by Cheese? by Spencer Johnson
  • Outlier by Malcolm Gladwell
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: North Central
 

"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn’t think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

Impacts on life

1:17 am | Tags: Diary

It’s been three weeks since my buddy in SA passed away, and I am still feeling it. Although I haven’t seen him since last December in HK, I still feel his presence, I still expect him to come pick me up from the airport when I fly back to SA next year.

2008 has been a year of drama, with movie-plot-style twists, and surprises. I matured. I gained new friendships, bettered or worsened old relationships, experienced friends’ deaths, witnessed marriages, opened myself to different perspectives, sought and strengthened in the Truth.

His death becomes a constant reminder to me, to live a life true to myself, to live a life that make impacts on others’ lives, to live a life cheerfully.

Ken, you will always be my broer, you have made an impact in my life, a positive one.

500 km day trip map
I have broke a personal record today: Driving for the longest distance in a single day - close to 500km. The day started from home, went to office, then to Brantford, Port Rowan, Dunville, Grimsby, back to Toronto for fellowship, dinner, and home, over 14 hours. Woo… so tired after a long day. O.. and today it was Friday the 13th, and apparently all the motorcyclists gathers on the Friday the 13th at Port Dover and rallied the road. I must have passed by or seen probably over 500 bikes on the road today!
