Errrr...work term report

I hate writing...I feel like I am repeating myself.
I don't know what to write, and I just don't want to write.

Writing in my own blog is a lot better!

Why do I have to write so ...formally?

Errr...I am going mad.
I will try to finish it tomorrow...errr...

I finished the draft, but I still need to correct my references, and proofread the paragraphs.

Recent update

I didn't update this site for a while. That's probably because I am too busy with all sorts of things.

  • First of all, I had decided to apply for GSOC. If I can get accepted, great. I can continue with software development.
  • If I can get accepted by the GSOC program, I will take three courses instead of four. I don't know how much time it takes for me to do implementing, so I better stay on the safe side.
  • If you want to know what courses I will take next semester, go to my Facebook profile. I am sure you will be able to see the list under "SFU Courses".
  • At the end, I didn't get a Blackberry nor G900. I got an iPhone instead. I guess I love iPhone too much. It gets me excited every time I think about it. =S (hmm...I am not high)
  • I have so many things to do these days:
    • GSOC applications
    • co-op work (that's everyday work, of course, but still....)
    • my school homework (I know I should work on it earlier, but I really don't have time)
    • my work term report (I should try to finish it by this Sunday, so I have spare some time to study my final)
    • look for a job (I don't know if I should really do that, since I probably want to study full time instead)
  • And oh yes, I applied to be a volunteer for the SFU Opening Day 2008 event. I will be a UniverCity Tour Guide. Training will be provided, so I will see what I need to do in a few weeks. Well...I believe it will be fun. I had been a volunteer at SFU for a few times.
That's my update for now. I better get back to work...-____-!!

可惜他有女朋友 (Too bad he has a girlfriend)

他都不算很有趣
He is not very interesting
為何我遇見別人都悶極入睡
I usually get bored when I meet other people
碰見他 總是自然 談下去
but why can I talk so naturally when I meet him?
讓人幻想可以後 談下去 結入成伴侶
gets me to think that, if I continue to talk, we can eventually become lovers.

可惜他有愛侶 還可怎麼爭取
Too bad he has a girlfriend. How can I take this chance?
投契極 得不到世人的允許
[don't know how to translate]
常常望著 別人幸福 令我更唏噓
Always see that other people find their happiness, gets me really uneasy.
難道世界上美男 全部被捕
Is that because all the handsome men were taken already?
漏網的跑到哪裡 男生稍一可取
Where are the rest of them? Where can I find them?
全已是 某君的夫婿或愛侶
Everyone of them is already someone's husband or partner
仍然像我的 未嫁的 又愛得起誰
How can someone like me, not married, love someone?
唯一 符合理想的得七歲
The only "man" who meets my "requirement" is only seven years old.

他真的有點似我
He acts like me.
旁人要是太悶時 安靜地就坐
He will sit down quietly when other people are too bored.
看見他今夜突然 圍著我
However, today I suddenly see him come to me,
話題像剪不斷地 圍著我
Keep chatting with me.
我又怕什麼
What am I still afraid of?

For English readers: Sorry...I know I rarely post something that is only in Chinese, but I am currently too lazy to translate the context.

Update (March 19, 2008): sorry for my bad translation....I tried my best..hahaha

Trying to relax myself

I have sooo much work to catch up: school, work, etc.
Arrrgggh...I need to relax!

Life isn't fair! I always try hard to accomplish my tasks, but at the end, people always expect me to do more!

errr....I am trying I am trying! Geee..just give me some time! ><

Random thoughts....or are they really random?

  • I want to get an iPhone...because I want to try to learn how to create applications for iPhone...or at least know something about Cocoa (Touch).
  • I want to update my site...but I am so tired right now, so I don't want to do that....YET.
  • I want to get a job, but I don't know if I should really continue working next semester. Should I focus on my school instead, so I can get a better grade?
  • I don't want to leave work yet...but I only have a bit more than a month to go...then I will miss co-op.
  • I need to declare my BUS concentration soon, but should I really do MIS? or should I do Management Science?
  • I want to get a MSc or MBA, but I wonder if I have the energy to continue a few years later...or will I even meet the requirement?

Less than 2 months of Co-op time

My time at Business Objects (as a developer) is running out. I only have less than 2 months in the office, then I need to say good-bye to everyone. =(

I wasn't so used to the place and people at first, but people are nice, and my mentor is willing to help me out. He might not be the best person to talk about personal things, but he is always trying to help, and trying to give me a chance to learn. What's more should I ask for?

This is my first Co-op job. This is also the first time I see a difference between what I learned in school and what people really do in the software industry. It's the first time I am able to merge what I learned in school to the real tasks that people need to do.

Perhaps I am a bit too quiet to tell them that I am feeling really thankful for them, but I do think that way.

I am glad I chose to apply for Co-op in the first place. Without this job, I am probably still confused of what I want to do in the future.

I am a quiet person, and I know that, I need to build my self-confidence. For some reasons, I always get so nervous for answering the question wrong...=S
