currently kind bored at work, nothing to do since i am waiting for new directions from boss. so i thought i will write something here since i am soooooooooo semi active on Xanga for the past year. thinking about this place, used to be my main site to visit everyday when i was a student, to stay connect with...  well, obviously this is no longer the case, i mean put this way, no time to update blog and also just stay connect with people over FB.

so many things have changed, including my point of view on alot of things. people come and go, seems like everyone are rushing to their own destination of life.

look back in time, i think i missed the freedom as a student, if you feel like,  you can stay home all day long or skip some classes, or even skip the only class you have in that day. and after class you have the choice or do the hw or just ignore it or even tell your professor delay the submittion time. i think that is such a wonderful freedom that i will miss, but one thing for sure i will not miss the life as a student, of course i will miss the old fun times with friends but not as a student itself. i think everyone after they started working, they will experience the so called "living hell". where you work almost 18 hours a day couple days straight, and after work because your brain is so intense, you can't even sleep, even after you felt sleep you will wake up in the middle of the night think it is time to go back to work, and you were even dreaming about doing work. i think everyone will agree with me to call this the "living hell". but i think as we develop ourselves and through out the time, this kind of life will pass by and new kind of experience will come.

a lot people say, in business, more than 80% is the people realtionship rest 20% or even less is the so called personal working experiences/skills. i think in most cases that is true. no matter where you are, a good relationship with others is always a start. but to me i also believe in "trust" & "skill". i think these three element are co-exist to me in my world. i like to give people chances, to show their skills in many aspects and gain my trust. but to me once you have broken my trust, it is really hard (i dont want to use impossible, as everything is possible), to gain back. on top of all these, i also believe the art of "talk". i think to me this art can be explained as the skills of presentation, to express yourself to others, no matter it is one person or hundred people. for me i think i have a long way to goon and to learn. i think it will be a challenge and hard to me but to me nothing is impossible, only hard and easy :)

well, i think this is enough fun for one day to write ramdom thoughts over here. next time i will think of something else.

just finished a little after lunch walk and was not able to concentrate on work so here i am update my xanga entry after a long long time, so hm...part of the reason i was so busy after i started this damn job and another part is that most people are using facebook more than xanga therefore, i was there almost everyday but no longer updated stuff over here. so hm... i need to say that past months and half was crazy, alot things happened, election wise, not only in the US but also in PRC and Taiwan, so basically it is kind of a chaos world wide. i am not really into politicas, so i am not going into the detail over here. but this past monday, JPMorgan bought Bear Steiner for 2 us dollars per share, after i heard that i was like "WOW" from over hundred dollar per share last year to beginning of this year down to 30 dollar per share now it is like sold for 2 dollars to JPM. and talking about "WOW" impression, the gas price last week in the city made me had the same impression, it went over 4 dollars per gallon. i was like holy ************************ (basically any words you can think of i have added here). so now since i am still commute everyday around 85 miles, therefore, i consume my gas around my work place which is at least 20 cents cheaper than the city.

many people asked me what i think of the Tibet issue since recently there was TV footage of people burning and destorying porpeties in Lahsa. i think my answer is that since Dalai really like to do peace talk all the time, he should tell his followers that peace talk is the way not violently destroing others life. not talking about which side right or wrong, when i was watching TV i saw some La Ma (Monk) was destroying public properties, breaking stuff and burning stuff as well, i was like hm... it is either someone was dressed like them, or they have gone mad, how can they do such thing like this? isn't peaceful way out was always the first choice and only choice budda have selected? it is just sad to see Monks put the pureful robe on and joined others to destroy things in the public. i need to ask Dalai where is the peaceful action you were talking about, since you were awarded several times as the peace maker how come your followers listen to you and do such things that againsted the basic rule of budda? i guess Peace "Talker" is a better name.
