haha, haven't been here for months.  a millions things happened.  Let's see....

• finally graduated from Berkeley, yay!!! 
• I chose to work over going to grad school even tho i got into all the schools i applied.  hopefully it's the right choice.
• settled in NYC, got an apartment in Manhattan.  my new place is pretty nice, so come visit me, you are garanteed a place to crash.
• went to Beijing China in my last summer break.  It was so freakin' hot over there, almost got baked.  although i did have some fun with my old friends, overall i only give this trip 70/100.
• went to orientation in DC, first part of training in NY.  had plenty of fun!  people are pretty nice and very sharp, seems like i need to work hard to keep up.
• Partied in Manhattan with 20 of my colleagues for my Bday.  spent a lot of money and had plenty of fun!
• got drunk with all my colleagues at the company headquarter. even asked the front desk to get us more alcohol at 1:30AM. (btw, we had a presentation the next day)
• no hang over the next day, did well on presentation, ppl were surprised. =P

upcoming...

• will go to Philadelphia for second part of training. Hopefully the work will be great, the ppl will be cool, and the place will be fun!
• seriously considering getting a laser vision correction surgery.  wearing glasses/contacts sucks!  but i'm kinda scared cuz i dont want the operation to mess up my current vision (if it fails). Let me know what do you think.

damn, i can't belive that my last entry was posted half a year ago.

i've been keep telling myself that i will have a very relaxing senior year to party my ass off. that has been my motivation of working hard. but as being a senior now, i am actually.....WORKING my ass off.  recruiting and preparing for grad school application at the same time really make me extremely exhausted. i've only applied to several outstanding firms which im most interested in.  i've never expected much when i applied cuz im pretty determined for going to grad school. however, when im given an interview opportunity, i just dont wanna fuck it up even though i already knew that the competition will be insanely intense and i will be torned up.  yeah, so basically i am currently struggling with interviews, personal statement, GRE, letters of recommendation, and school work as well. what an awesome senior year!

last nite i was working in the lab, one of my friends came up to me and said "kev, u r a great guy, i've only known u for a year, but after next semester, we will all head in different directions..." it made me extremely sad and actually kinda shocked cuz i've never had the chance to really think about this. i've met so many great friends during college, they shaped and enriched my life and helped me developping into the person i am. i often hear that different people come and go in one's life, but it just feels horrible when i realize that after a few months, i might never have the chance to meet some of the people again whom i am seeing everyday right now in class. it even makes me feel worse because i really wanna hang out with them as much as possible during the last year but unfortunately i just dont have the time. i guess this is the main reason i decided to write this long entry tonite.

A BayArea Joke:

Four friends reunited at a party after 30 years. After a few laughs And

drinks, one of them had to go to the rest room. The ones who stayed

Behind began to talk about their kids and their successes.

The first guy says: I am very proud of my son, he is my pride and joy. 

He started working at a very successful company at the bottom of the

barrel.  He studied Economics and Business Administration soon he was

promoted and began to climb the corporate ladder becoming the General

Manager and now he is the president of the company. He became so rich

that he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes Benz for his

birthday.

The second guy says: Damn, that's terrific!! My son is also my Pride

and joy, I am very proud of him. He started working at a traveling

Agency for a very big airline. He went to flight school to become a

pilot And also manage to become a partner in the company where he now

owns the majority of the assets. He became so rich that he gave his best friend a brand new jet for his birthday.

The third guy says: Well, well, well congratulations!! My son is also

My pride and joy and he is also very rich. He studied in the best

universities and became an Engineer. He started his own construction

company and became very successful and a multimillionaire. He also gave

away some thing very nice and expensive to his best friend for his

birthday. He built a 30,000 sq ft mansion specially for his friend.

The three friends congratulated each other mutually for the successes

Of theirs sons. The fourth friend who earlier had gone to restroom

Returned and asked: What's going on, what are all the congratulations

for?

One of the three said: We were talking about the pride we feel for the

successes of our sons. And then he asked, What about your son?

The fourth man replied: My son is Gay and he makes a living dancing as

a stripper at a nightclub.

The three friends said: What a shame that must be, that is horrible,

What a disappointment you must feel.

The fourth man replied: No, I am not ashamed. Not at all, he is my son

and I love him just as well, he is my pride and joy.

And he is very lucky too. Did you know that his birthday just passed

And the other day he received a beautiful 30,000 sq ft mansion, a brand

New jet and a top of the line Mercedes Benz from his three boyfriends.
