finally got what i want... a tan!

I went wakeboarding... for the first time in my life today. It was really fun! I got blisters on my hands now=( but good thing I managed to get up on the board... that's probably the toughest part. It's the initial tug that really requires a lot of grip, which I almost couldn't do for the second run 'cos my hands were super tired. I must get better the next time... let's go again next week before I head back into winter once again!

Val! I finally updated my blog... Ha but why do you need to read my blog anyway? Not that you don't know most of the 'interesting' stuff that's been happening=) boring right?!? Nothing too exciting to write about...

My blog is boring shit...

ahhh... I've really been damn lazy with updating my blog. Or maybe it's cos I'm too busy leading an 'exciting' life to write it down... haha

Let's see what did I miss?! I got my license in New York!!! Was the examiner crazy?!? I only had freaking 8 lessons on an auto car. And the test was in a neighbourhood which has on average 2 cars passing every 5 min... How could they even trust me driving on a 'normal' road. I don't even trust myself man... haha. Hopefully it'll come with trial & error on the road=)

Oh I got the second round phone interview for SEO! Super relieved when I received their email. I seriously thought I screwed up my first round interview. Maybe I did for some questions. When I was trying to give an example of a case where I showed leadership quality, the interview gave me the 'what the hell are you talking about' look. That totally threw me off-guard initially. And my reply became super unorganized.

When my friend told me that they might give the 'stress' test, I laughed and said I won't even be scared a bit. But I guess I was wrong... at least partially... It's easy to say that I am confident of what I am talking about under normal circumstances. But during the interview, when the result really mattered like dear life, you will become more uncertain of whether you have convinced your 'examiners'. I guess I became more self-conscious at that point. But eventually when it came to the case study, I'm glad that I knew what I was doing. They seriously questioned every single statement I made, to the point that it got irritating at times. Somehow, I think my 'irritation' then gave me more strength. I was pretty damn sure I was correct so I stood up to my reasoning. That interview really taught me the importance of courage and confidence.

so... "how many diapers are sold in the United States in 1 year and what is the market value?"
