(17) After the lunch meeting with Professor Peter Whittle at Anchor Public House, Cambridge,  2012

與華彼得敎授中午聚餐後有感而作

      

      遠道輕輜求道渴

      香江紐國闖西疆

      橋邊囘首雙同路

      序列釘裝獨異鄉

       邃密時空窮變幻

       段分線性乃尋常

       文章得失何需患

       不待花開不逞強

(Note: Peter and I are both professional time series analysts and amateur book-binders.) 

To seek a knowledge Czar, 

We've travelled from afar,

You from New Zealand, 

And I Hong Kong.

Looking back at our journeys, long,

We recalled our lives in solidarity

On a foreign land, 

Researching time series and binding books in our spare time.

Unlocking the mysteries of space-time,

We picked piecewise linearity.

Successes or failures we thought bizarre,

As long as the fun will last to eternity!
