Everyday is another day

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 03:11:15 GMT

Goodbye Macau,

Goodbye MUST,

Goodbye my dancing life,

Dear my friends,

It is time for us to prepare for our new life.

Let us step forward together.

We have to be BUSY, because we do not have much TIME.

Allow me to think

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 14:26:41 GMT

It is today that graduates took photos together with classmates, relatives and teachers on campus.

Maybe I will become one of them at this time the next year, in black bachelor’s uniform.

How do I want to end my university life?

There are something else that I feel I am terribly lack of, except for the knowledge on the book.

I deeply believe that good teamwork can produce, magic: the skills to understand, to communicate, to cooperate, and to improve. I myself can only do well in one part. What I want to learn is to understand how to make my module general and integrate into the whole. It is a matter more about people, than the technique.

A good presentation can make your idea understood, accepted and appreciated by others. How you can express yourself correctly and accurately. How you can persuade others and change others’ mind. You can see not only the idea, but also personality of the speaker.

I spent my three years’ time on reading, writing, listening, and programming. I can understand others better than I can make myself understood. I can express myself better on paper than in presentation. I can do my part of job well but I do not know how to integrate.

It is never too late to make changes, as long as you are aware of it.

Endless business

Doctor said that I must be a person who spends most of the time in front of the computer because the muscle on my shoulder and neck have been sick for a long time, and I have been used to the incorrect condition so that I cannot feel it.

Another doctor said that I must be on an unbalanced diet and always tired by too much work so that I have improper face color, cannot have enough sleep, and afraid of coldness even in summer.

I said to myself that I am a happy person because I have a perfect dad, a special lab boss, a great partner, kind teachers, and many wonderful friends. I have an excellent environment to study, which is one of the best lab in university. I have a beautiful place to dance, where there are a couple of best coaches I have met and many good teammates.

Doctor should forgive me that maybe because life is so wonderful that I can hardly rest my neck and body and i cannot stop myself to to learn, to work , to dance.

When I am 21 years old, I think I should learn to give up a little and enjoy more.

Death

Fri, 22 Feb 2008 09:25:29 GMT

Death

From Steve Job’s commencement speech at Stanford

"Remembering all will be dead soon is the best tool I have encountered to help me to make big choices of my life. Because almost everything: all external expectations, all pride, all fears of embarrassment of failure, these things fall away in the faith of death, leaving only what is truly important.

Remembering you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking that you have something to lose. You are already naked. There’s no reason not to follow your heart.

Death is single the best invention of life. It is the life’s change agent. It clears up the old to make way for the new. Now the new is you. But some day, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.

Your time is limited. Don’t waste your time living in some one else’s life. Don’t be trapped by the dogma, which let you live with the results of other peoples’ thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinion round up your heart. The most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Every thing else is secondary."

The end of 2007

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 08:17:15 GMT

Major

The last four core courses of my major have ended. No matter what kind of knowledge, I just applied reading-thinking-organizing-exercising procedure to myself. It dose work for me, which requires, surely, time.

Dance

I can enjoy more of the beauty of ballroom dance as I practice more with basics. It has been one year since I began to dance. So lucky we have learned all five kinds of ballroom dance in one year. What remains is, practicing. What requires is, time.

GRE

When it comes to the memorization thing, I always leave it to the end of a day when I have been tired. I do not know how much I can remember, I just move on with the new and hang on. Because I am not sure how much time I have to fully prepare for it.

Cantonese

It is a pity that I can neither hear nor speak Cantonese in Macao for more than 2 years. The course I took this semester leads me to the way of listening and speaking. Although I did not fully master of it, I can move on with the method. At least, I can understand better with Guan Sir, the dancing coach..

Everything makes me a little under pressure.

A little is enough to push me toward.

Cognitive fitness---extracted from

One such belief is that the brain necessarily diminishes with age. It turns out that neurons, the basic cells that allow information transfer to support the brain’s computing power, do not have to die off as we get older. In fact, a number of regions of the brain important to functions such as motor behavior and memory can actually expand their complement of neurons as we age. This process, called neurongenesis, used to be unthinkable in mainstream neuronscience.

Step 1: Understand how experience makes the brain grow.

You can conceivably gain the brain benefits of other people’s long-term direct experience through, for example, short-term exposure to simulation.

Step 2: Work hard at play.

A big challenge in finding the right environment for your brain to thrive is striking a balance between risk and security. You must have a stake in the game you play if you are to really engage in it; risk alerts the brain and activates capacities for both reason and imagination.

Smart people have trouble learning because it involves so much floundering nd failure. Play is hard work,

Step 3: Search for patterns.

Pattern recognition is the brain’s ability to scan the environment; discern order and create meaning from huge amounts of data; and thereby quickly assess a situation so that appropriate action can be taken right away and with a high degree of accuracy.

With activities such as these, it is of utmost importance that you do them often. Make a consistent, ongoing commitment to immersing yourself in new systems and ways of thinking. It cannot be an occasional event, because the point is to expose yourself to a variety of cases and situations that cumulatively encode rich experience in your brain.

Step 4: Seek novelty and innovation.

People who are receptive to novelty and innovation also tend to be good in a crisis, because they are open to seeing opportunity in even the direst situations.

In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in expert’s there are few.

Dancer

Thu, 18 Oct 2007 10:53:02 GMT

As a dancer, you should learn to feel the music, move with the music, and smile with the music.

As a dancer, you should think yourself a beauty, feel yourself a beauty, and make yourself a beauty.

As a dancer, you should learn to cooperate with your partner, communicate with your coach and respect your teammates.

As a dancer, you should keep improving your skills by practice and competition.

As a dancer, I love it with my respect.

One day I may not have the chance to dance any more. So each experience, so far, is a treasure in memory.

I don't think I've mastered anything. I'm still wrestling with the same frustrations, the same issues, the same problems as I always did. That's what life is like.

Harrison Ford

Second time to host the IEEE project competition

Experience really makes one calm and rational.

No matter how others behaved, you have to be concentrated, brave, and smile, you have to look into others’ eyes to communicate, when your language dose not work.

No matter how properly you dressed, you should pretend to be you are the perfect one, then you have the confidence to stand out, un-satisfied details could become ignored and unimportant.

No matter what kind of mistake you make, you should continue and keep everything going. A compere is important but will never be the main role.

This year I am not afraid and not screwed things up any more, though I am far from satisfied with my performance. I can also feel the space to improve and how to do it.

But next year I want to be a competitor, rather than a compere.

At the 2/15 point of this semester

Sun, 16 Sep 2007 02:20:54 GMT

Each time I compared me with myself at the same time last year, What have remained and what have changed. What I have achieved and what I have lost. I would always find that I am so much different.

Time brings me the knowledge and life experience, which solves me a lot of long-existing questions, while creating newer and bigger ones. I know much better than last year, but I have been more questioned, challenged, and confused.

Study is more enjoyable, because you can always find answers if you keep reading, asking, and thinking.

Life is complicated, controversial, and, under a lot of circumstances, undefined. No right or wrong. No answers. No one can tell.

It’s of one’s choice to do something. What I want to do is to make everything easy. I considered the life built up based on two abstractions: cause and effects. What you have done, combined with various known and unknown factors, will always lead to something that have been expected or surprised.

I find no reason to stop, to find the non-existing end.

Macau, I am back!

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 12:18:56 GMT

New York—seldom a city can make my breath faster. New York really does!

Goodbye, America!--- America has all that I want. This trip made my mind clearer. My brain cannot stop organizing the plan of the next period with all kinds of possibilities. Also I cannot stop asking myself:

What is the most important thing to me at present?

What is my weakness? Is there any bad habit I cannot get rid of or even cannot be felt?

How to manage my time so that everything can be efficient and effective?

Is it a waste of time?

Is there any other resources I can make use of?

Do professors care that? …

Homesick—this word never works on me. Internet makes this world small.

Back to Macau---The reason why I cannot help missing Macau is that all my business is there. Macau currently is the only place where I can actually do something.

The 22nd stop:Boston

Fri, 17 Aug 2007 02:31:06 GMT

Chicago one day

Rainy. Stay in the Days Inn and prepare for the trip in Boston.

Grandpa Frank Soo

A professor, who teaches Philosophy in Boston College, picked me up at Boston airport today. His wife is an American, speaking a good Chinese. Another interesting family.

Max

A twelve-year-old huge old dog. Now he is like a 84 years’ old man(1 human year=7 dog years). He is sleeping in my room now.

Conversation between me and a professor,University of Iowa

Tue, 14 Aug 2007 00:25:40 GMT

Me: Except for the normal standards such as GRE, TOEFL and GPA, how will you judge or pick out the applicants you want? More generally, what kind of students do you want?

Professor(Electrical Enineering and Computer Science department,University of Iowa): we have some researching centers focused on different areas. There are students from different department doing research in them. You can log on the website of our university and look at the researching centers. Through which you can find lots of sub-websites, owned by different professors or laboratories. You can find all the information there.

(Tips for admission which are concluded and extracted by me)

Matching

“You can try to find out if there is a match between what you are interested in or what project you study in your university and certain projects our laboratories or professors are doing.”

Show your difference

“If you can work out or give some ideas of the problems they are working on, you can be easily separated from other applicants.”

Pre-interaction

“You can ask directly to the professors what kind of students they need before application. Since you are only junior, you have time to prepare for what they need. Also some undergraduate students asked questions from students who have been in some professors’ laboratories and figured out what kind of people they need.”

Do not hesitate to ask

“Never hesitate to ask any questions, and never be surprised that you are ignored. It’s like soccer, you may kick many times, once done is enough.”

The 21st stop: Moline

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 23:46:44 GMT

Moline

A small city, which is located on the border of Ohio and Illinois, which is the river Mississippi. Here I am.

Golf

It is the first time I play golf on real golf play ground--unlimited, trimmed lawn. Two real good golf player—uncle Qian couple---taught me a lot. They are really good models. After a short period of practice, at least I can strike that ball to a certain distance with my basically correct position. I am not sure if it is good for me to love this gentleman game. I seldom have chance to practice.

Weeding machine

It is legal for me to drive without a license---to drive a weeding machine in uncle Qian’s garden.

The 20th stop:Dayton

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 16:32:56 GMT

University of Dayton

Talking with international admission office, eating buffet in student canteen, and having the campus tour, I spent a whole day in this university. Officers in such a small university are very patient and friendly.

Greyhound bus

It doodled for almost 7 hours from Ann Arbor to Dayton. An experience in black people world!

Detroit

The downtown area has waned and changed from an industrial center to a place for entertainment. Bunch of old buildings, which must have once been prosperous, are left without any people. Baseball competition and concert are held on that day.

Canada is just a river away.

The 16th-19th stop:Lake Erie&University of Michigan&The Ford museum&Ford headquarters

Tue, 07 Aug 2007 03:24:28 GMT

LA-Cincinnati-Detroit-Ann Arbor- Lake Erie---5 hours + flight transfer + time difference. 3 hours after I came back to LA from Las Vegas, I had to go to the airport to the next destination---Detroit at 0:55. During which I had to transfer the flight in Cincinnati. As soon as I got off the plane in Detroit, I was taken directly to the picnic on the beach of Lake Erie.

University of Michigan---You can get whatever you need here, the same as other universities in US. Not only a university, but also a city.

The Ford museum--- They are more than machine, they are realization of human intelligence and creation! I really feel how great the industrial revolution was!

Ford headquarters--- One of World Top 500. Uncle Zhou works in that fantastic building!

Chinese Family in US— it is special. Uncle Zhou and aunt Zhang have two American born Chinese children. It is fun to live with them--- picnicing with their friends on the beach, go to the church on sunday morning, and watch the tennis competetion of their son.

The 15th-17th stop:London bridge&Grand canyon&Las Vegas

Tue, 07 Aug 2007 03:16:35 GMT

London Bridge---The same as the one in England. Just an old bridge, without river flowing through. But an interesting story!

Grand canyon, Yellowstone National Park--- “This canyon is a gift that transcends what we experience. If only I can take time to enjoy this gift. Sit and watch the changing play of light and shadows. Wander along a trail and feel the sunshine and wind on your face. Its beauty and size humbles me. Its timelessness provokes a comparison to my short existence. It is more than a great chasm carved over millennia through the rocks of the Colorado Plateau, more than an awe-inspiring view, more than a pleasuring ground for those that explore the roads, hike the trails, or float the currents of the turbulent Colorado River.” I cannot find better words!

Las vegas---Bigger, older, and messier than Macau. It is the first time I watched the show inside the Casino. Much more wonderful than I thought! It is interesting to see the same casino in Las Vegas as in Macau---Wynn and Venetian.

The 7-14th stop:LA tour

Wed, 01 Aug 2007 04:59:05 GMT

Nixon’s birthplace and museum---His was trained to be a spokesman and leader since he was born. I am really impressed by his speeches and arguments.

LA central public library---it is all for serving people.

Ronald Reagan presidential library and museum---you can see what inside the Air force one. It is interesting that he used to be a hollywood star. Then is it possible for him to be a government member in China?

Thousand Oaks---a tiny quite beautiful city where we stop by to have lunch.

University of California, Los Angeles---state university with 40,000 students. A little crowed.

University of Southern California---luxious private university.

University of California, Irvine---Active and energetic place.

Long beach,Queen Mary Submarine---people work in submarine must be under 165 cm. you can figure out how reasonable it is here.
