English is easy..

"Going commando" a new word that i learnt this weekend....

Going commando (or to go commando) is the act of not wearing underwear under one's outer clothing.

"Going commando" may also come from the mistaken idea that "commandos" go into an area "without cover."

The origin of the term "going commando" may connect to the tradition in military units of Scottish heritage to not wear underwear under their kilts. The first Commando units were raised and trained in Scotland in WW2 (which is where the present-day Commando Monument is). It is said that Scottish soldiers once used the expression "regimental," to describe the state of wearing no shorts under a kilt; allegedly, Scottish drill instructors carried a long stick with a mirror on the end to verify that soldiers were properly regimental.

Going commando appears to be an increasingly popular practice. A 2004 study of 7,000 people by the New York-based clothier Freshpair revealed that 9% of men and 7% of women go commando day-to-day. Those who do so semiregularly are much more numerous, possibly around 25-30%, and most people have tried it at some point.

Offsite

Since my team (kinda) spreads to 2 locations. one in Mountain View, another one in Santa Monica.

All folks from Santa Monica have been to Mountain View several times already, but none of us have been to Santa Monica yet. The plan for offsite is to go to Santan Monica. However 2 engineers voted for offsite in NYC.

Also I have a plan to work from NYC office for a week. emm...

Also, we have a summer picnic and a well-known google dance coming soon.

I don't know..I just feel so right (should i feel so wrong?). OK gotta work harder to compensate the feeling that the company treats me too good. :P


oh goshh..how come there are 10 things in my queue now...

wish me luck..i have an exam tomorrow..

A weird story of my heart..

This is a story about me and someone who I don't really know.

I met him when I was 12 years old (mor 2). In my memory, he's kinda short and he wore big eyeglasses. My memory about him is very vague. I remember that we talked a couple of times. I didn't understand why he called me to ask about his science homework, we were not in the same school, how can i help him on that. He actually annoyed me. After a while, he didn't call me anymore.

2 years after that I thought I met him in front of my school, but i wasn't sure about this.

another 2 years after that. One of my friend asked me whether I knew him. I then met him accidentally again. he's a close friend of a friend of mine. We didn't talk that much.

another 2 years after that. I met him at a nightclub. He's a friend of my friend, so we shared the same table. Then i realized that the guy that I met in front of my school 4 years ago was actually him. I talked to him for quite a while. we bumped into each other a couple of times and that's it....

6 years after that.. I never met him again..until today that I saw his pic in my friend's hi5. I feel like i see a pic of someone who I have missed for a long time. I can feel that there's tear in my eyes..

There is actually nothing interesting in this story....

Don't get me wrong. I'm happy with my relationship. it's just weird that I have this kind of feeling with someone whom I don't really know.

dumb ass..

Some pics that I took in thailand..

There is a Summer Picnic this Friday.
There was also a summer picnic when I joined Google last year. So now it's time for another picnic..I can't believe i'm here for 1 year already. So olddd...

Let's see what shwag I will get from this summer picnic. Anyone wanna come with me, Friday afternoon. Free food, tons of games, free schwags, many cool and fun stuff to do.

I just sold some thai stocks that I held for more than 3 years. I think i have no luck on this. I sold one of them at 22.60, 2 hrs later, it soared to 24.90. I also bought some invstment funds here. one of them drop 20% after I bought. I think there's no easy way to make money for me. Need to work hard to earn tiny amount of money. I don't know how many brain cells I kill each day when coding. I feel that i'm becoming a dumb ass very soon, even a big dumb ass if I don't exercise. so fat now.

By the way, I' having a midterm exam for class that I take at Stanford (as I told you in my previous blog, i just wanna be cool, so i take this class. such a dumb ass, huh?) this Thursday. hope that I can do it, otherwise, I must pay tuition by myself. If that's the case, I will not only be a big dumb ass, but also a poor big dumb ass.

ALthought there are million things that I'm bad at, one thing that i'm very good at is to talk randomly.

I am kinda very happy wih my life lately. I have done some good things recently. I feel good with myself. I'm not the type of girls who just keep talking , but don't do anything good anymore. I'm also a doer. I will change the world. An incredible girl will change the world. Wowoowowow

Sad sad sad

I just came back from Thailand.
2 week vacation is not sufficient..

Many interesting things in Thailand..I will update about that soon..
