Weekend

1. Can't miss Jon Stewart Daily Show. Like the part where he talked about Iraq War having its 4th anniversary/ entering senior year...not sophomore
2. The quest documentary on BBC about faith. When Dalai Lama was interviewed, I can relate very well with his thoughts. Well, I am Buddhist. He basically said that everything is about our mind. Religion is not the main issue here..secular. It's being mindful, shape how we thinking...
3. Then the interviewer went to talk to a Christian pastor. He disagreed totally with the secular thinking. He believed so strongly that only God can save us.
At first, when I listened to the pastor. I was quite perturbed because he sounded very stuck up with his religion. In Buddhism, it's all about Karma and our thoughts. As long as we are doing good for the mankind, as long as we elevate suffering, as long as no one gets angry with our actions or our actions clearly benefit a lot of people, then we are on the right track. I guess by saying so much about buddhism, I am quite stuck up with my belief too from the perspective of the pastor...Sigh, still quite confused...

The good thing is that I completed the most major hurdle for my Point of Sales (POS) system. I was quite happy that the major hurdle was tackled in less than 3 hours...hahaha...I smell success in the future. What will be my next project? Accounting system, maybe?

Can someone teach me other ways to relax during weekend? I relax by developing application...Some people said I am quite....crazy?

Lastly, what should I do if I decide to go back to Asia? Self-expectation is high, but I still can't see the "horizon"

Feels good

I met up with a guy in my workplace who did research on RFID. I wanted to learn more from him as I have done RFID research for 8 months back in Umich. To my surprise, his approach of RFID research is shockingly weird? Maybe mine is weird, not his...His results are mostly based on other companies' doings and he is sooo smaaaart to choose Walmart for case study. But can't blame him, he only spends 2 days on shopfloor. For me, my RFID research is more like how this technology evolves and how we can implement the technology at the lowest cost. So what's the difference? The difference is that I don't like to be a follower, I want to be a leader...Dude, we are in tire business, at least you choose an automotive company to do a case study?

Anyway, I become not convinced to join the training program. My boss is pretty correct when he prevented me from joining the April training program. I at first was disappointed, but now I understand why he stopped me from joining. Feels good when you know something more than other people...Blame on my birthday...based on numerology, my birthday results in magic number 1. 1 is for leader, selfish person...huahuahua...ok, too much crap...The End.

Why blogs

Lately, I read a lot of my friends' blogs...It seems that they talk more about what they observe, whereas I blogged more about my thoughts, my daily experiences. Does that mean that I don't observe my surroundings? Does that mean I don't really care about my surroundings? Oh well, based on numerology, my number is 1...Number one person is the don't care self-centered only want to lead type. Had a 5 minute online chat with friend from Amazon...He still wondered why I would want to go to Deutschland for a job. Well, my common generic answer with zero second delay would be for experience. Are there more answers to that question? I start pondering about that. Then he shot me with another statement that I wouldn't be able to get girlfriend till 2007 when I told him that I would head home by 2007. (Hopefully my Conti boss didn't read my blog). Should I worry about that statement? Honestly speaking, it bothers me a lot. Moreover, I am pretty choosy about getting partner. People are generally choosy already, but trust me, I am way more choosy than people in general. How many girlfriends I had so far? I can safely declare that I had none so far. What does that answer indicate? Am I stuck-up? choosy? perfectionist? or just simply not good enough in the "market"? Sometimes, I feel that I am running away from problems I can't solve....

There was a good reason why I am still single...It's the highschool 3 weeks lovestory...Let me tell you, my highschool lovestory is much more interesting that the Singapore's Teenage Textbooks story.... The 8 yrs old scar is way too deep, but I guess we have to stay positive and remember the good moments of any "adventures" we experienced.

High School Sweetheart

Ever wonder why we have a dream during our sleep sometimes? 3 days ago, I had a long night dream about my high school sweetheart. We were playing hide and seek around a park or somewhere? It's weird to have this dream because we haven't met each other for 7 years and we didn't even keep in touch. Moreover, she has a family already.
Life is good in Hannover. No complaint. I just keep working and working and working...

Hannover

Reached Hannover on Feb 16 morning 9 am. I have been working for 10 days since Feb 20. Life is reasoanably good here. As good as Ann Arbor's time minus the weekly badminton session. Well, not to mention the Ann Arbor people whom I miss. Right now, I am trying to learn as fast and much as possible about tire building. The plant I am working now is producing high performance tires. I am enjoying myself with my current project, the traceability project. There is nothing new about this project, but I think it's challenging to implement it in the tire plant.
