I contemplate too much. I have too many things i want to have, i want to do, i want to be skillful at... (the list goes on).
2nd year into college and I already feel old. It seems like tomorrow will be the day i have to step into reality and pursue the professional i want to become and start making those big bucks. But, oh geez, looking at how competive my gpa is, my experience, my leadership, how in the world will i be able to compete with those high-achievers/perfectionist for those wanted positions out there. More I think about, the more i consider adapting new skills to improve my resume. I already have a back-up plan: i'm planning to get certified for piano-tuning (SOON), so in the worst-case scenario i will be tuning pianos for a living (i just hope upright and grand piano are not slashed into the antique (outdated) category then i might need to be adroit on digital music).
my future choices:
Dr. sandi chiu - oh, i really do aspire to become a doctor:M.D. O.D or DC? *Chiropractor- oriental medicine+D.C.
entreprenuer - starting a business and making it international
music creator - composition, performance (learning how to us technology to develop songs)
governmental occupation
feng shui master
scientist - researcher probably for nutrition
nutritionist
senior manager in a big company - or marketing director, finance (banks)...etc
stock investor

| The bubble burst today. After 3 weeks of non-stop adventure and memorable times, i come to realize that school is in 2 days. Oh i am dreading those 8am classes already but I am excited for the BIKE i'm bringing. Let's start with what burst the winter vacation mood: the moment i start getting massive amount of emails in my account saying UCLA jumpstart career and UCLA blah blah blah then from clubs wishing us luck for a new beginning quarter. Wow, 3 amazing weeks have already passed. I can't believe that the moment my inbox starts filling up my adrenaline starts pumping. Feels like my inbox have become analogous to the way my body functions. Now i'm sitting in front of my laggy, yet durable laptop reminiscing things i have accomplished and things i have tried for the first time in the year of 2006 & winter break.
looking back into the year:
- both online and in class summer school instead of HK vacation
- first summer job and work-study job
- first bf
- first time yelling and screaming in the car
- purchased my first keyboard, my first guitar mini
- spent a lot of my own money
- outdoor camping
- driving to vegas and peeing behind a trailer
- living in the residential area in vegas instead of the strip
- obsession for hats, sunglasses and socks
- rearranged the furniture in a triple room dorm (like rearranging the sardines int he box) =)
- confused why sometimes grades don't reflect the learning.
- love is simple yet sophisticated to grasp
- went down my first long snowboard slope
- first all-nighter shopping on black friday at the outlet (all nighter for shoppin.. wow)
