I am going to enjoy this weekend..Phew...Had been going through tough weeks. Not too much work to finish by weekend, one case study and one research report. Don't even wanna think of my homework. I am heading to Kalamazoo for badminton competition in 1 hour time. I hope I can bring the championship back. But there is always a dark horse in competition.

I have a good news to blog. Got phone call from ZS Associates on Thursday 4.30 pm. I am going to be invited to Evanston office for final round of interviews. This invitation is the cause of smiley face I have put on since the phone call reached me on Thursday. Some of my friends who applied to ZS didn't get into the final round. I guess that's life. Sometimes, you win and most of the time you lose. Sorry, a little bit pessimistic here.

I had 4 interviews this week. BCG, Capital One, ZS Associates, and Cypress Semiconductor. I am impressed with ZS Associates for making such a quick decision. Next week will be a tough week for me, expecting rejection cum thank you emails from the rest of the companies that interviewed me. But I have been rejected so many times. Failure is not uncommon to me. But I become tougher as I face any challenges and failure motivates me to do better next time. Oh by the way, I put new poem in my homepage.

Love


I have been watching a korean drama series titled "Love Letter" whenever I have free time. It is a great series to watch because it is very touching, meaningful. For someone like me who has bad experience in liking a girl (want to know my story?, ask me), this drama is very comforting to me. Having to watch a girl loving a guy so much gives me some inspiration to think about the meaning of love. And I often ask myself why would I love the girl? Honestly speaking, other than because the girl is pretty, I have yet to find out the answers.

I had been so occupied lately. No time to blog...Why I blog now? It is because I am rejected by Microsoft for PM position. I was flown to Seattle last week for on-site interview. I was interviewed by 4 managers, Arik Cohen, Henry, Mike Thomson, and Tony Leitao. All of them are great managers...The recruiter Mindy Honcoop was equally great too. But I can't hide my sad feeling today. I knew that this sad occasion would come to me in the end, but I just wanted to deny it or delay it. I invested so much time for this interview. I couldn't handle the fact that I got zero return on my investment...Life is full of challenge...Nothing comes easy to me. Whether it is study, work, or friendship. but oh well, life would be boring without challenge. Work harder, Hendi!
