I'm working for a mooty company now.
It's quite a fun company. The atmosphere is relaxed and the people plan a lot of activities. Also, the politics is kept to quite a minimum. Currently still in training phase , so work is building up slowly and slowly haha. It's really interesting though. But i think after learning most of it (about 2 yrs i guess), it'll become more boring.
Most people in the company are quite relaxed and happy but I don't know if i'll stay for more than 2 years. :D:D:D

Salut mes amis!
Cher tout le monde,
Salut!
Bon soir!
Aujourd'hui, je vais ecrit ma blog en le francais. Mais, j'ai etudie la future prosche et la present tense seulement en ce moment. J'ai etudie le francais pendant trois mois seulement et mon francais n'est pas bon. Mais je vais chercher ecriter la blog un fois par semaine.
En ce moment, je voyage en l'Oest en l'Etat-Unis. Je vais visite Boston en ce moment. J'ecrite mon blog dans l'autobus. Il y a cinq monde dans l'autobus seulement. Il est retard. Je vais coucher en dix minutes. Il est minuit seulement mais je suis fatigue. J'ai voyage beaucoup aujourd'hui.
La francais est un langue interessant. J'espere que je vais etudie mieux francais en la future. Ahh la francais, pourquoi est-il tres difficile?
J'espere visite Francais, j'espere manger dans les brassieres, les patissieres... j'espere visiter la Paris et regarde le seine parisienne. Et la tous Eiffel!!! J'espere aussi visiter autre francophonies.
En mon course la francais, j'ai un B+. Je suis heureuse (mieux que n'est triste pas) parce que je n'est pas travailleur en mon course la francais.
J'espere que demain, je vais m'amuser.
Bon nuit! A bientot!
Tout les bisous,
Xiao Chuan

First and Last
I'm feeling a sudden surge of sadness now... When I finished my final paper in UC Davis - French 1 today (11th June), I suddenly felt sad.. I was ok before that, but as I handed in my french paper to my french professor, andrea, it was like a tug that would wake me up from my dreams.
My stay in UC Davis is indeed like a dream. It felt so surreal and everything went by so fast. I can still remember vividly the times when we were trapped in the apartment due to the storms. I could fully explore without much inhibitions in UC Davis. I took courses like French which would be deemed 'too difficult' in NUS. I had lunches with the professors and learnt more about the world of academia and the life of an electrical engineer in the united states. From my peers in class, I learnt that there are indeed people who are really passionate about what they do and that it is not true that the US is less competitive. UC Davis is certainly more competitive than NUS from what I have seen.
My favourite class of my whole stay turned out to be French. My tutor, Andrea, is one of the most passionate and funny tutors I have ever seen. I started taking French to explore and I did not really think that I would continue with French. But from this class, I have now a genuine interest in French. As i have written over and over again, J'aime etudier genie electrique mais J'aime mieux etudier francais.
I have travelled almost every weekend in Davis and I can say that I have been to most parts of california. I really miss this lifestyle of travelling every week to new places. I miss the people in Davis too.. I will miss so many things... and now I have to leave it all... I will miss San Francisco.. It is such a beautiful city that embraces everyone. You will never feel left out in San Francisco (and the shopping is great too). Vacaville, monterey bay, san francisco, morro bay... I know that once I leave, it would be different when I visit (i am sure i will) these places again. It is really truly different to live in a place than to just 'visit'... It is different to return to an appartment which you call your temporary home, than to return to a hotel...
I must say that I have learnt a lot from my stay in Davis. I know more about the lifestyles of americans, 'californians'... of the melting pot that the US is so famous for. The US is indeed an amazing country.
We did lots of crazy stuff like driving to grand canyon... the drive was tiring but fun and indeed, arizona is so different from california... the people... the landscape.. the speed limit!!
I had this tinge of sadness when I left taiwan but I think i feel sadder now... I can't help but think what if I went to Cornell... I am very sure I would be a very different person and sometimes I think that I made the wrong choice...
I really hope that I can repeat this experience in the future and learn more about myself and the world around me... As I proceed on to another phase of my life, I hope that I can learn more about myself and become more aware of myself... What will happen in my travels in the east coast now? We'll see...

I'm in taiwan!
I reached Taiwan last night carrying lots and lots of luggage (4 pieces in total....) I think I carried the most luggage in the entire plane LOL...
It wasn't that cold as I expected. We were picked up by a van arranged by NTUST which brought us to our dorms in the campus.
All 4 of us will be sharing the same dorm. Its really interesting. The room is very dirty ( I think its not used for many years) and we spent most the time like cleaning up the room. There are no mattresses and such and we just bought a very thick blanket (which is used for winter) as a mattress (since we are only there for a month, there is no point getting mattresses and such). The plus point is that I think it is free, it is of reasonable size and the furniture is great (I like the arrangement better than RVR ones). Btw, the dirtiness is about the same as RVR.
Our hosts are phd students. They are really great!!!!!! We rode on their bikes (this is my 2nd time on a bike, the first time in vietnam, it was MUCH slower)... Only then did I feel the coldness (but its not that cold)...
After buying locks and everything, we slept and woke up at about 8:30am. (We are meeting one of the phd students for breakfast at 9am). I think my chinese is going to improve by a lot from this trip. I am like forced to use Chinese to converse and read Chinese (fan ti zi) everywhere I go.

Yeah
Since I have some time now its time to update this blog! haha...
I was actually surprised the blog was like left untouched only for around 4 months? So many things happened in these 4 months haha.
I guess I'll only focus on the important stuff.
Firstly, my birthday! :P
So many things happened on my birthday.. Its definitely a memorable day from MORNING.. YES I HAD LAB on that day!!!!! 9am LAB DAMMN IT! had to wake up so early.. I tried to sneak in with my slippers but the DAMMN LAB ASSISTANT CAUGHT ME. SHOUTED AT ME AND ANOTHER GIRL TO GET OUT OF THE FREAKING LAB AND ARRANGE ANOTHER TIME. Got pissed. But the only other time left, monday, is unavailable for me because i'd be in bangkok. THEREFORE I HAD TO GO BACK TO HALL AND GET MY DAMMN SHOES. FREAKING HELL. Luckily the lab was simple though so I finished in time.
Its a FRIDAY!! YES I STILL REMEMBER BECAUSE OF THE STUPID ECONOMETRICS TUTORIAL... We had lunch at Munchie Monky to celebrate and I ate some spaghetti thing haha.
After that, I went to Bangkok with Jianbo (Skipping a EE2011 test which I made up the day after)... On the first day, there was a blackout :'(. We tried to tell the hotel staff that there was a blackout but they do not understand what 'blackout' means.. It was really funny.. Jianbo was bathing and he looked quite pissed off. Overall, It was a great trip.. Jianbo's two friends drove us around and we went to many places (shopping!! yes! my favourite!) , markets, seafood (overpriced crabs!!), sight seeing temples and palaces and such.
What I liked best was the leaning buddha, it was quite impressive and huge... It was a little rushed. I lost my newly bought leather shoes in the rush but I guess I liked the rush. We arrived at the airport _just in time_... 1 more minute and the plane would have left.. all because of last minute shopping haha.. I enjoyed the trip and witnessed Bangkok. The last time I visited thailand was when I went to Phuket and (of course) they are vastly different. Bangkok is a bustling city and the people are usually quite friendly...
However, what I don't like about Bangkok is that it is... HOT... I was like sweating throughout the entire journey haha. Its certianly a memorable experience. Hotel ratajavi or whatever it is was great (ratajavi residence or something) besides the blackout. $50 a night including breakfast If I recall correctly.
Secondly, after the exams.
We had lunch at marche after the final GEM2900 paper (which was dammn freaking easy thank goodness.. after all the hard papers)... Mm.. Nothing interesting except Perry and me ate this 'snail sausage'.. I wonder if it is really snail or something haha... On Sat I went out with Yongfu to (almost everywhere), beachroad etc. to get his stuff and on Sun I went with them to watch a movie before back to hall to pack my stuff. It was really hectic. I packed until about 2am and you know what? I had to wake up at 4am to catch a plane..
I was so tired. at 4am, me, grace, justin, weiming and guangyu met up at the airport to take a plane to Vietnam! that's our 'after exam' trip.. Initiated by me and weiming (initially to go HK), in the end, we decided to go to Vietnam.. The trip was planned by Guangyu and Linna I guess? (Linna and Yi Kai went first).. Guangyu finished the exam 1 week earlier so.. haaiz. The trip was a little rushed... I was like dammn tired after the exams and this made me so much more tired.
Two mornings, we wanted to watch the sunrise but failed. But it was fun. The first time, only me and guangyu went out but we woke up a lil too late.. The second time, Because the hotel locks their front gate, we had to 'sneak out' and we had to like climb rocks... to get down. it's like elevated but all of us managed to sneak out! (except weiming and yi kai who were busy sleeping).. I liked the cu chi tunnels (basically a place with regards to the vietnamese war), climbed through one of em (loads of HUGE CENTIPEDES.. REALLY HUGE!!!)... and the boat trip where we did some power boating (and capsized thanks to guangyu), drank mulberry wine, bought some stuff, etc. etc.
After that trip, I went to Perth with my family.

CNY!
Its a long time since I've posted because I was so busy!! But anyway, a quick summary:
I visited relatives during CNY, went for BP mentoring on sats and blahblahblahblahblahblah.
Anyway today, I went for an interview with Micron (2 interviews actually)...
OMG SO SUCKY
The first interview had two interviewers.. YUCKS.. They asked N-MOSFET.. OH MAN I CANNOT REMEMBER THE EXACT STRUCTURE OF THE ENTIRE THING... Ouch...(the n++) all that.. and the inversion layer and all that stuff.. and GONE CASE.. Then after that we went on to CMOS... Ok, CMOS was alright... drew the inverter correctly.. then the other interviewer suddenly "POPPED UP" a difficult question.. I got it 'sort' of right... aiya, very hard to get this one...
Then the second interview.. OH MAN ask me a simple DIGITAL DESIGN question.. I got it 'sort of'' correct. Anyway i don't think he'll accept me also because he wants 6 months one..
anyway, i thought internships were for clueless undergraduates who don't know anything?? The second interviewer was really great.. i mean the first two, they were like pressurising.. keep on asking questions which are harder and harder... Like, i answered the inverter thing correctly and explained well.. Then, that guy must draw another link there and complicate things a lot??? I already told them i'm only taking the module now..
This internship is GONE CASE.. I DON"T THINK I"LL GET ACCEPTED.. WHAT... When did an interview become COMPLETELY a TEST OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MOSFETS??? without preparation?? Come on!! I expected more "Social" stuff...
