Sleep

I have not been able to sleep through the night for the past month or two.  I would get tired, but would wake up 3-5 times a night for no apparent reason.  Was it worries or stress?  I cannot tell.

Lay off situation at work is making me tense.  The company gave them two months notice [...]

Hair cut, and 25 random things

When under stress or feeling overwhelmed, people do strange things.  I went to get a hair cut.  I let hair grow for 3 years without a trim, didn’t think much about the lack of style or what impression people have of me.  IT is a very conservative place; I do not see a lot of [...]

Simple Happiness

It’s Friday nearly 6pm.  60% to 70% of the folks already left work to enjoy early start of the weekend. I am still in office, battling with tool limitations and various manual steps of compiling/deploying/testing.  It’s a life of a developer who’s starting to get behind schedule.  Yup.  That’s me.

I was washing cups in the [...]

I don’t like having allergy reaction, or the side effects of allergy pills. Now what?

If you have allergy, you know how annoying it is to get watering eyes, sneezing, running nose, congestion and so on. I used to carry pocket-size Kleenex with me all the time because of it.

I tried taking Claritin-D, but that stuff takes a while to kick in.  Later I tried Zertec-D and loved it for [...]

What I have been busy with

I haven’t been blogging much in the past year or so. Well, nothing major happened! I have not been as silly as before (so I hope), and I have not been traveling at all. So really there is nothing worth blogging about.

But I managed to keep myself quite busy at home, very busy [...]

Wisdom teeth, Gone!

I finally had all my wisdom teeth pulled last Friday. Yak!

I had been postponing it for years for fear of the pain. Then this year I started to feel a nagging pain around my jaws. The stupid wisdom teeth somehow decided to grow up so fast as if they were trying to break the soil [...]

Starting on C#

Last month I started to learn and use C# for work. Everybody on the team is new to .NET. But in a Scrum environment, we have much to deliver with very little time (or no time in this case) for training. So I picked up a book or two and dived right [...]

Parking in a hot day

It’s been damn hot around here the past two weeks; everyday over 90 degrees out there, and I have to walk at least 5-7 minutes one way to get to my car at a surface parking lot for work. I don’t usually sweat much. In fact, 80 degree is my perfect temperature. Yet now I [...]

Looking back

While I was reading a few friends’ blogs, I found a common theme from their recent posts: they missed their UCI college years.

I tried to look back to my own, too. But I could not find what they saw in mine. I saw myself falling, getting up, growing up, and changing. But [...]

Count down

Count down to 3 days till the last day in Adcom. =)

I’ve been busy with all the transition and cross-training. Meetings after meetings. I have never met with so many people so frequently in such a short period of time, ever. I sometimes think, why can’t they just chill? What’s the [...]
