Umm....

Haven't post anything here for ages... Probably I will need to try to find some time to work on this place a little bit....

Time goes fast, I am no longer in the U.S. Now I am working in Thailand, in my aunt's factory as a factory general manager. I have to say, this name sounds good but it is in fact a hard job. I will have to take an incredibly heavy responsibility since my decision may at times cause huge difference, and this difference is not a couple bucks but thousands of thousands of dollar...

However, I don't really think I am a good fit to this job. I am more a IT guy, and that's why I tried to implant more and more technology in this old-fashion food factory. Recently, we are trying to establish a new ERP system, needless to say it will cause over millions of dollars, but I think it should be a plus. As my daily work now is to sign all the payment vouchers, approve or not, buy this buy that, do this do that, seems like everything will eventually comes to my desk. I wonder if there's a day I can clean my desk and have a rest. Once the ERP system is done, maybe the first couple months will be exactly the same, but should be better and better once I get into it.

Anyhow, the google+ is really a plus to me... Now I will have nearly unlimited photo database for my blogs... Hahahahaha... with google+ activated, the photos uploaded will be free if it is within 2048* 2048 pixels. Well, that is theoretically a 4 million pixel photo, and could be sharp and clear enough for almost all kinds of purpose. So, I think I will have more motivation to do the blogging again I guess...

Late need to sleep now... will post more soon!

News of me... Being a Tutor Part I

Haha, I posted some of my recent updates on my the other blog, and therefore I'll post something here as well... Although I really don't know what to post, but I think at least this is something I could do for now... Leave some sort of memory for myself -_-

Time really flies... I tried to check my old postings here, I found that those were so old... Now, I already graduated from graduate school, and began to work for weeks. Although the work is still uncertain, but I am doing things now. Comparing to what I was before I came to the U.S., I really don't know how much I grew up. Academically, I think my English is a lot better than I used to be, and I now can even be a tourist guide... My friends from Taiwan, if you are here and need a guide anytime, please let me know.

Not knowing whether anyone will be love to read my articles... I do want to put whatever I've learned here in the U.S. on this blog, and maybe share my experience to you.

I think I will start from the experience of being a tutor, especially in here. I used to be a private tutor in Taiwan for years, and I usually call them "easy money" since I do not actually need to prepare and I can make like $20 an hour. However, things are different here. First of all, I want to announce that I was awarded the Tutor of the year of 2009 lately, which made me "really" proud of this. And of course, that is due to my hard working at school and in Learning Enhancement Center in University of La Verne.

Basically, I tutor subjects like Algebra, Statistics, Operation Management, Financial Management, Accounting, Strategic Management, and seldom with Marketing. Amazingly, that is almost everything you'll be probably learned in a MBA course. I know I am not "that" good, but at least I know my value. If you happened to need a tutor in these subjects, I'd be glad to help though!!

Besides this, I also tutor students for C-Set and C-Best. I don't really understand those tests, but I can definitely fix all the algebra problems with ease. While tutoring students here, I really realized my capability of numbers. Maybe I am not that special in my college, but I'm sure that I am "very" special here in the U.S. since I have crazily good sense of numbers... and that's what American people lack of.

Anyhow, I'll bullshit until now... the rest I'll keep murmuring maybe tomorrow~

Enjoy watching!!

:P

Graduation

Finally, after 18 months, I graduated yesterday.

Hopefully I'll be able to find a job...

I am just wondering...

Anyone's looking at this blog?

hum~~~

Back to Taiwan

I will go back to taiwan on 8/23, and come back to U.S on 9/3

if you want to meet me or anything else, please try to contact me... I will be very busy then, so~~~

Lucky

I am so lucky~ The weather here is still great today. However, the air looks gray as in Taiwan. Maybe the air quality isn't well because of the heavily pollute by the factories. Anyway, it will definitely be a great day!

Amasing China

In my previous memory, mainland china didn't have much development. Most people here are still suffering with poor and illness. However, right at the beginning of the trip, I found out this is a wrong image. Now, Shang Hai might be more developed than Taiwan. The business area here is much bigger than that in Taiwan. More and more high buildings are setting up here and the construction here are much more organized too.

Take a look at Hong Kong airport and Shang Hai airport. It is much larger than airport in Taiwan. There are so many planes that we could not land as the scheduled time and we need to get off the plane far away from the terminal. Getting on a transfer bus to the terminal, I found that there are a lot of foreign people on the bus too. The develop of china really increase the commercial progress and bring them the steady business income.

As in Taiwan, we usually thought that it is far to travel if the destination takes 2 hours driving. But it seems normal here. I never seen so many cars on the road. Maybe except New York, no place will be like this~

After the long trip in the car, we had the fantastic dinner in a restaurant which it's owner is a Taiwaness too. After dinner, I took some time to look at the amazing landmark in Shang Hai, The Eastern Perl. Although we have Taipei 101, but this is totally different... I still can't find a word to describe my feelings.

The bad part is, although the hardware here are above developed, the mind of the people are still undiscovered. They didn't have much chance for the education. No wonder I feel strange looking into their faces.

The stores besides the road are pretty special. There is also the "buble milk tea" from Taiwan. There are more than 5 film stores with in a block. I think this is really a good sign to explain the great future of their business in sightseens.

There are old buildings which are older than most of us. Some of them were built before the World War I, and they still remain well shaped without damaged. The china government must do a lot of work on it~

Anyway, it's just the begging of the trip. I think I will get more in the future part of the trip. Please wait and see~

Hong Kong International Airport

Nice, this is a good place. They even offer the free wi-fi internet services. Then I can use my laptop here while waiting the take off. I have to admit that I am so tiny and I have too much matters to learn. Hope I can deal with everything well...

My Latest scheduals

It has been about two months after my service for the military. I just stayed at home and do nothing for a long while... I do get some rest, maybe I am alive again:P

Actually, I didn't waste all my time during these days. I teach some students right after their school hours. All I do is read their homework, and mark those wrong or bad ones and make them do it again. It's an easy work, but it takes time.

After these hours, today is my last day with those little friends. They held a party for me, I do feel good. No matter what, I got some good friends afterall~

I am going to main land china next tuesday to see the factories of my uncle and the restaurant of my parents. Hope I can get some great news or stories for you guys...

After that, I will go to California for my study... I will go to the language school first, and apply graduated school over there~ Maybe I will now the States better then!

I'll call it a day, and I will post more stories for you later in the futer!!!

A Story that touches your heart ! by Yahoo Group

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door...

Son: "Daddy, may I ask you a question"

Daddy: "Yeah sure, what it is?"

Son: "Dad, how much do you make an hour"

Daddy: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"

Son: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"

Daddy: "I make Rs. 500 an hour"

"Oh", the little boy replied, with his head down.

Looking up, he said, "Dad, may I please borrow Rs. 300?"

The father was furious, "if the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or other nonsense, then march yourself to your room and go to bed. Think why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior"

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions.

How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:

"May be there was something he really needed to buy with that Rs. 300 and he really didn't ask for money very often!"

The man went to the door of little boy's room and opened the door. "Are you asleep, son?" He asked. "No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.

"I've been thinking, may be I was too hard on you earlier", said the man, "It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the Rs.300 you asked for"

The little boy sat straight up, smiling "oh thank you dad!" He yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled some crippled up notes. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.

"Why do you want money if you already had some?" the father grumbled.





"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied. "Daddy I have Rs. 500 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you"

Thoughtful!~

people are Lonely by Yahoo Group

True, I think it make sense.

Wow!

Haven't post a thing here for a while. Although I have a 5 days off from the troop, I spent most of my time on sleeping and playing PSP/Video games...

Oh, yes, I went to the video tape shop and rent four movies. Maybe I'll try to post some of my feelings about these films. (War of the worlds, Narnia, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Miss Congenality 2.)

Well, seems like I haven't use English for about two weeks. How's my English anyway? I wonder if someone sees this will get my words or not~ I read some people's blogs, and some of them were extremly strange... The grammar they use were totally different from what I've learned at school. Is this normal? The wiered part is, the writer of the article is so confidence and sure of his English. Somehow, I will try to find out if I an right or wrong~

By the way, I am now trying on the Yahoo! 360°. The day before yesterday, someone send me messages via Yahoo Messanger. I was so surprised that someone's reading my pages. Maybe I really need to add something to make it looks much better.

Well...

It has been a long time that I didn't write something on my own. Actually, I don't have much time to do that because I am so tired that each time I had some vacation I will try to get as much sleep as I can. Even if I got some time, I would prefer just sitting infront of the TV and do nothing.

Anyway, I've been a solder for about six minths. I've learn something special and I would never forget about that.

I've wrote some of my Journal of being a solder, but it's in Chinese anyway. I'll try to translate it into English as soon as I can. Maybe that would make you understand my country more.

I'll have to serve the military for about 7 months. After that, I will become a real man. Just wait and see~:P

"LUNCH WITH GOD!"....A Very Cute Story..... From www.krh.in

A little boy wanted to meet God.


He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of root beer and he started his journey.



When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons.


The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered her a Twinkie.


She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a root beer. Again, she smiled at him. The boy was delighted!


They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word. As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman, and gave her a hug.


She gave him her biggest smile ever.


When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face.


She asked him, "What did you do today that made you look so happy?" He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"


Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and asked, "Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?" She replied, "I ate Twinkies in the park with God." However, before her son responded,


she added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected." Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,! ! a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Remember,


we don't know what God will look like. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Embrace all equally!
