Another term is gone

Today, I officially finished the last exam of my second last term here at Waterloo. After over 5 hours of celebration, I have mixed feelings. I don't know if I am happy or sad. I say happy because I am leaving for California 2 days later and sad because I will say goodbye to Waterloo soon. Although I kept on saying that Waterloo is boring, I have spent almost 5 years of most valuable time here. But I am sure when I leave this town forever, I will feel sad. Actually, when I think about it, I am not sad because of leaving Waterloo, I am sad because I am leaving Doudou. The little guy doesn't know anything about our trip and he must be very sad and depressed thinking that we abandoned him. These 10 days will be tough on him. I love him so much and I promise to stay with him for the rest of my/his life.

Just random

I got the offer package from the company today, felt pretty good. The numbers written on the offer letter are pretty attractive. But I haven't taken into account the Canadian taxes. Just as what my friends claimed, Canadian government is like the movie star agencies, who takes almost half of what the actors/actresses earn. But I think Canadian government is not all that bad. After all, when we get sick, we can receive medical care for free. In contrast, this is not true in the U.S. That explains why older people want to come to Canada after they retire. I guess each country has its good and bad. In other words, young and healthy people should go to US, work their butts off and earn/save as much money as they can. When they get old, just wave bye bye to the US and get the hell out of there. I think that's an optimal way of living. That's called live smart. :P

Stanford that is

I am coming, no matter you want me or not!

Some thoughts

I always feel that other people have more things happening in their lives, or else, how come I don't know what to say when writing a blog? It's true, my life is pretty typical. I lived exactly the same way my parents wanted. Other than coming out to Canada, my life doesn't have a single major change. I am the typical "good girl" that this soceity recognizes: graduated with a top university with top marks and gets a job in a top company in the top developed city in the country. But is this the life I want? ... I don't know. I bet I would not feel good if I don't get these things, but now I get them, I don't feel really happy either. Maybe something is missing in my life.

But anyhow, I am ready for the new stage in my life and I hope I could stop being typical and achieve something which I really feel proud of.

Job is done!

I am not used to writing blogs. In fact, I am not used to writing at all. So some of sentences might be grammatically flawed or not comprehensive (in other words, don't make sense) to you. But it's okay. Because nobody will find this place. :)

I am quite happy today since I finally settled my job offer with the company I want to go. This is the first time I actually negotiated the salary with them. I think it's perfectly normal to negotiate salary since most of the time, the company will give you the low end and leave some room for negotiation. But most people are too shy to negotiate or they don't have enough power (if the company does not value the person too much or if the person desperately want the job). I did it. I am pretty sure I could go a little higher, but I did not. Since I got nothing to prove to them that I am a valuable asset to the company yet.

So Toronto, I am coming. I can't stop planning about my first full-time job. I need to looking for places and find a roommate to live with me. It's gonna be fun~

Hi everyone

Hi All,
