Live to eat

I accepted MicroStrategy's offer! My title is Software Quality Engineer, aka SQE! Anybody in DC area PLEASE drop me a note or give me a ring!

Anyway, I've been playing around with my new camera a lot recently. Here are some of the results from playing...please excuse me if you find the pictures bad or unprofessional -- I'm still a newbie =P

CFA
A Tree (Wean & Doherty)
Civil Engineer's Project
Pittsburgh from Mount Washington
A Random Factory -- This pic is kinda bad but still pretty cool~
UC & WW

Chen got shot?!

Taiwan election: I'm sure I'm not the only one here who feels cheated. But I'm not going to express more of my political views against Chen for it's useless now anyway and I might get beat up real bad =P Good for him to be re-elected -- but I'm still rooting for a recount. If my Taiwan friends need a place to dodge missles or something, welcome to US (even though not that much safer here). Whatever, just visit me!

Job search: Yeah, found a job with MicroStrategy (www.microstrategy.com), but I just interviewed with Electronic Arts (www.ea.com) and I would kill to work for that company. What can be cooler than making games? Too bad I think I bombed the interview...just let me dream for a minute here.

New camera: I sold my Canon S110 and bought a Sony DSC-V1. Very nice camera with Carl Zeiss lens and mad complicated controls which I have yet learned. I'll post some of my awesome work up on here sometime...stay tuned!

Majong: After struggling in the negative territory for the first 3/4 of the time, I finally had a beautiful "self-touch" to put me in the #1 position. Sorry Dave (and Marucs + Bob) ;-)


SIX MORE WEEKS OF SCHOOL!!!!!!! I'll be at LA until I start work, which haven't been determined yet. Anyone who will be in the area during May or June PLEASE let me know!

Good things come when least expected. I finally landed on a job at VA!!!!! YAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! :D Too diao to be true!

Anyway, just got back from Paris trip. It was awesome, except for the cold. EXCELLENT food and dessert (i probably gained 10lbs) but expensive too. Some pictures...

I expected a rejection from Lehman, but didn't expect it to be on my bday?! Those ****ing *********!!

Speaking of job interviews, I just received two rejections today: Cisco Systems and McMaster-Carr. This proves my theory (from my last entry) completely wrong. I'm screwed now! =( This (slightly modified) song represents my feeling now.

One Last Cry
My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw people getting offers, while I'm not even interviewing
Now I sit all alone wishing I have US citizenship
I gave my best to job search, is there anything for me to do
But have one last cry

Chorus:
One last cry, before I go back to Taiwan
I've gotta put rejections outta my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down to my last cry

Cry......

I am here, but no jobs here
Guess the economy hasn't picked up
While the sun shines on me
I need some interviews to rain on me
Still I sit all alone, wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over this, is there anything for me to do
But have one last cry

Chorus:
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put rejections outta my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I know I gotta be strong
Cause round me life goes on and on and on
And on.....

I'm gonna dry my eyes
Right after I had my
One last cry

Chorus:
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put rejections outta my mind for the very last time
Been living a lie
I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down...
To my last cry...
