Being experienced in programming, he feels confident in solving problems with the assistance of computer. Is he just another computer geek? No, he would be sad if anyone ever call him so. In fact, he regards himself more as an artistic person. Sometimes, he is almost a paranoid in pursuing perfection. For example, he can never satisfy himself by having ordinary coffee from chain coffee shop like Starbucks. He enjoys create latte art in a cappuccino at home. Kristian Zimerman is his favorite pianist, which becomes one of the motivation for him to play the piano for more than 20 years. He has a dream that one day he will own his private Steinway grand piano. Currently, he is working on a homemade recording on several piano works of Chopin. |

His "only" favorite singer is Cheer Chen(陳綺貞), not only for her music, but also her charming characteristic of being an artist, singer, guitarist, and philosopher at the same time. In sports, he makes an extremely unpopular choice for being a Yankee's fan in Boston. It's all for one reason: Yankee's starter Chien-Ming Wang, the second Taiwanese pitcher who shines on the MLB. In basketball, he has been a Pacers' fans for more than ten years, but maybe he would no longer be such a die-hard Pacers' fan since Reggie Miller's retirement. Here is a web-page dedicated for his trip to Indianapolis for the Eastern Conference Final in 2004. |
