  Recent years have seen dramatic progress in cosmology and particle
astrophysics. So much so that anyone who dares to offer an overview would
certainly risk him- or herself for being incomplete and biased at best, and
even incorrect due to the author's limited expertise. It is with this
understanding and excuse that I risk myself in offering this review. After a
brief summary of Planck mission's first results, I highlight some selected
theoretical and experimental advancement in dark energy, dark matter, and
cosmic neutrinos research. It is hoped that with a glance through these
exciting development, one would be convinced that we are now a step closer to
the ultimate understanding of our universe, while major breakthroughs are still
required.
