Does it matter?

people like to comment on others.
when people are commenting on others, they usually don't think about the result of commenting.
words can cause a major effect on other.
words can be the most hurtful weapon.
words can easily solve a problem and cause a problem at the same time.

words has major influence because people care about what other say.
however, sometimes how others think doesn't really matter.
most of the time, it is better if you learn to don't care.
most of the time, it is better if you learn to be yourself.

every individual has his own value.
someone would be able to tell eventually.

information sessions

It is almost been a week since I came back to the town of London.
London did not change much, boring as usual.
Seeing all the frosh come in, I feel old; hearing them talking, i feel even older.
I was looking lost, talking stupid, thinking immaturely, just like what they are doing now.
No, I am not what I have done. At the specific moment, I made the best decision as I could. There is no point to regret. Thinking back does not help with anything.
Think about it in another way, seeing those frosh, feeling old means.. i learned and grew over these years in university. I did not waste my time and money here.

back to the topic.. information sessions.

i have been to a lot of information sessions in this past week, almost everyday.
These information sessions are hosted by various companies and for the purpose of campus recruitment and networking.
All levels of staff would come to the info session and answer the questions of students.
It is important for student to talk to them, get them remember you and follow. It is the first impression you give to them, influential to your future application.

I never like to talk to strangers.
Now.. I am learning to ace this skill.

9.11

eight years...
yes, the day that twin towel ended its mission, i started my life in Canada.

eight years ago, there is a lot that i did not understand.
the repetitive scene on TV did not appeal to me as much.
now seeing it again, realize how horrible it was.

eight years is a long time. but it went past too fast.
it seems like i have done nothing but time has already went by.
time is fair to everyone and that is all we have.

eight years is long enough to change a lot.
even a year is enough.
whatever is over is over, need to move on.

all about steve

today is the first day of school.
last entertainment is all about steve.

this is another comedy movie.
it is funny and relaxing overall.
yes, i like comedy movies. sometimes, watching a movie is about relaxing, don't want to think much anymore. eventually, you may get something out of it anyways.

as the main character said.. no need to change yourself for anyone. you just have to find someone that matches.
another thing is media. media likes to exaggerate events. i am not saying it has to be a bad thing. however, it is not easy to understand in the movie that why the main actress suddenly became a hero.

really need to mention about the actors. i think sarah did a really good job to establish the characteristic of fun, smart and enthusiasm. the asian actor is playing an more important role in this movie, if you remember him from the hangovers. i am happy to see asians are improving in their parts.

september memo

when we mention September... what do you think of?

- students back to school
- beginning of fall
- another long weekend (for Canadians)
- full moon festival/moon cake is coming
- ...etc.

to me this year...
going into the final year of undergraduate.
of course i think of back to school, and one more thing this time... campus recruitment.
honestly, it is not happy to back to that small town. yet, it is better to concentrate at school there.
as everyone says, it's the last year. don't do/not do anything that i would regret.

first meeting with clients

meeting with clients do not sound like a big deal.
yet, an actual formal business meeting, this is the first time for me.
and yes, i was nervous.
the meeting is held in 8.30am this morning, i almost kept myself awake for the whole night because i did not want to sleep in. ><"

this meeting is a good lesson and good experience overall.
thanks for my boss and manager, they don't need to worry about that i didn't learn anything anymore.
because i did.. and i got a lot out of this.

meeting with clients...
presentation and communication skill is the key.
everything has to be very clear and well prepared.
i know it sounds very easy. however, in order to make an average person on the street understand is not as easy as you thought. (at least not as easy as i thought)
also, there is so much to observe.
know your clients is the key rule.

experience is essential to all works.

The time traveler's wife

if you have an option, would you be the time traveler's wife?

this is a romance movie, quite obvious.
the men travels through time, through the girl's life time as well.
i am not going to talk about the plot much here, or else i would ruin the movie.

back to the question...
being a time traveler's wife, would spend a lot of time waiting.
trust is extremely important as well.
it seems like a difficult task, but if it was me, i would do the same.

also, know the future in advance...
it seems cool, but that change a person's complete view of life.
knowing the result without be able to change it... would be cruel.

i wouldn't rate this movie too high, because it wasn't as good as i thought.
some of the stuff doesn't make sense, it could be more reasonable.
