找學校中

找學校這件事真的挺麻煩的, 我都是直接上學校網站去查, 得研究的資料一堆外, admission requirement每家都不一樣, 而且現在好多學校都要求線上apply, 在搞定最後的考試成績前, 我想還是走馬看花, 先隨便看看稍微記在筆記裡就好, 真是麻煩的苦差事喔!! 目前的情況看來, 有些是自己資格不符, 有些則是環境不佳, 或生活費過高, 今天看了幾所學校, 目前的想法還是以美國中部為主, 唉~~東岸紐約的生活費太高, 若我錢, 我一定去紐約念書, 但沒什麼錢去那兒念書, 可是一大苦差事吧?? 大學時我曾去紐約遊學, 認識了幾個在那念書的大哥哥大姐姐, 他們過的生活倒是挺不錯的, 有人還住在長島, 有車有豪宅, 不用擠地鐵, 租破房子, 日子當然好過, 假日還帶我們去私人club喝酒、曬太陽, 和他們吃吃喝喝的, 在那的日子倒也過的不錯!! 反觀現在我也有個朋友也在紐約的NYU念第二個master, 聽說她過的苦哈哈的日子, 住的地方沒有冷氣, 夏天熱的要命, 和日本人合租的房子, 又舊又破的, 生活品質實在差, 不過, 我想她還是樂在其中吧, 因為離開那房子, 到處都能感受到big apple的魅力, 嗯~~NYC 我一定會再去的!!

CHICAGO這個AREA我也是納入一大考慮, 我之前待過近一周吧, 因為我妹每早就得出門參加conference, 我自己則是到處亂逛, 我住的hotel是在著名的michigan ave旁的一家旅館, 而祺盤型的道路, 讓我不需記路, 晃起來特別輕鬆, 除了看看那些有名的建築物外, 不知為何, 我感受到一絲的親切感, 撇開建築不談, 當時突然覺得chicago好像台北街頭, 而且有些corner, 像是我堂姐帶我們去的韓國餐廳, 真的很像台北的一些地方, 不過, 我想我是想多了, 台北沒chicago的美, 只有四不像的101, 我當時應該是嚴重的home sick罷了!!

生活隨想

最近一直反省一些事, 重新的審視自己的決定及生活
例如出國這件事好了, 一定要去美國嗎?? 老實講, 美國很多地方我都去過了, 若這次念書又要去美國, 未來兩年的留學生活, 大多也只能舊地重遊吧!? 另者, 若選在大都市念書, 生活費用挺高, 生活的品質也沒辦法太好, 畢竟, 我只能是個窮苦的留學生；而若選在像St. Louis 或是之前去的 Ames 那些地方, 生活一定挺苦悶的, 念書念煩了也只能看看風景或是逛個小小的mall, 而且因為交通不方便, 也一定得買車, 買車買保險, 光想, 就覺得麻煩。 若去別的國家好嗎?? 澳洲有幾個學校還不錯, 其實之前我也將這些學校納入考慮, 但是, 看看從澳洲回來的朋友們都混的沒比"留美"的好, 我實在也是佇足不前, 不敢冒進。那麼英國呢?? 對我而言, 它沒什麼親切感, 記得高中時, 我的英文家教就是個英國人, 對他的印象實在不是挺好的, 朋友們也大多對英國沒什麼好印象, 老是恐嚇我英國腔難懂, 另者, 英國對學術研究的態度較為嚴謹, 生活費、氣候等等因素, 好像也不是個好選擇。

另外, 我也一直在想我擅長的field應該是在內控管理, 而打算要念的是MBA, 這個方向似乎沒錯?? 但我將來回來”應該”會做的工作應該還是外銷業務, 國貿這方面的工作, 因為這是比較好下手的一塊, 當管理階層得慢慢磨來, 不太可能回國馬上就能找到。 ”應該"會做的工作, 當然也有可能會直接往券商那部份走, 輔導上市上櫃, 而之前在會計事務所的經驗也只有一年多, 能否順利進入這個領域, 得靠點機運, 或許得先拿到CIA執照,可能機會大一點。　上述都是我大概的職涯規劃, 似乎是我不得不做的事, 以研究所畢業後所擁有的工作經驗及學歷去規畫出來的方向, 但是卻不是我真正喜歡做的事,　那麼我喜歡做什麼呢??　或許你聽了會莞爾一笑, 我想當的是老師, 幾次的工作出走, 離開商業界出走至補教界或是教育界, 我一直覺得工作得到最大的成就感並非來自財稅簽的完成, 或將客戶順利推上市櫃, 也不是一個產品上市, 而是來自於學生學會了我所教的課程, 從不懂到成績大大的進步了, 這讓這個求學路上跌跌撞撞辛苦走來的我, 感觸特別深, 而他們對我的信任, 那種眼神更是我很難忘懷的, 哈~~只是再轉行?? 我可能沒辦法做到了吧！？...........

A comic actor committed suicide......

A comic actor committed suicide several days ago. All news programs report this news for a couple of days. This actor had significant influence and great presentation in the past. I won’t doubt his achievement. However, media treat this actor as a hero. Some TV channel spent over 20 minutes to report the related news in their hourly news programs. In my opinion, these programs should not take so much time to stick on this news. It will have a bad effect. People probably will be taught this is a way to solve the problem when they face the difficulty. As I know, there are 20 people to commit suicide recently in Taiwan. Media do influence people. Please keep your ethic in your minds. Also, the government needs to manage the content of news.

Stop raining

It is still raining outside. It would be better if the rain would stop.

Sweep the depression.

WHEAL

Sorry, I think I'd better remove this disgusted photo. You can find that on the internet. It won't be difficult to search.

hahaha~Do you know what it is?? Its name is wheals. I search for the dermatology information on the internet. I found. I found this photo. It appeals me to read for further information because when I traveled in the Japan I got this disease. It is a kind of allergy. As I remembered, I got this every midnight when I were in Japan. It was really itchy. But I don’t know why these wheals disappear when I get up. Also, when I went back to Taiwan, I got well immediately. I asked the doctor why I got this disease. He just told me that it was difficulty to find the cause. Due to this unhappy experience, I still have a concern about traveling in Japan.

Finally, I get it done.

I have registered the next FIGHT. I hope everything will go smoothly this time.

My grandmother's home town

As you can see, this is my grandmother’s home town.
It’s in the Chang-Hue County. (In the middle of Taiwan) My grandmother said this town was the most prosperous town fifty years ago. I cannot feel this now, but feel its nice environment. Every time I go there, I can pick up any fruit and vegetable. No matter whom own the land, my relatives always tell me I can pick up them. My relatives said they are familiar with all the neighbors. Not only they pick up neighbors’ crop sometime, but also their neighbors pick up their crop sometime. People who live here are so friendly, aren’t they?? What a nice small town~~

The most curel means

The kite disappeared in the air.
It said it needed freedom.
It left because I tried to seize it.
I was confident that I could be a good player.
However, I am totally wrong.
It felt uncomfortable. It thought I was stubborn to stick on this.
I thought I would get it finally.
However, it didn’t want to be mine.
It left without saying. It left without leaving any message.
I felt depressed because of his disappearance.
It is the most cruel means for me.
I made a significant decision. I decide that I won’t forgive your selfish.
I won’t forgive you anymore. I will try to throw it away. I will try to be more flexible, but I don't know why I fell that it's not my mind………

Sense of value

Sometime, I find it is not easy to communicate with people because we have different senses of value. It is not easy to find the same sense of value for two people, even for your closed friends or colleagues. Several days ago, I told with my ex-colleague about the status of company. When I told him, I thought the salary for a person who graduated from university is too low. (NT. 25,000) No matter what they can contribute for this company. That’s why the company always lacks human resource. The rate of quitting is so high. The major cause is this company does not offer reasonable salary. Also, they ask their employee to work overtime everyday. However, they don’t provide the overtime pay. For my point of view, it is extremely unreasonable situation. Do you know what my colleague said?? He thought this salary for a worker who graduated from university is reasonable because there ware so many worker graduated from university. He thought the human resource market is sufficient. That is why this company just pays this kind of salary. ……And then…..I found I completely could not talk with this guy about this issue. He never leaves this small town. His sense of values about this issue is so much. However, my sense of values is different from him.

Today, I talked with my friend. He thought it is not necessary to hold a wedding ceremony in the hotel. He thought it is o.k. to held wedding ceremony in the restaurant. For me, I think a restaurant is not ok to hold such as an important ceremony. From my point of view, it won’t cost too much money to hold a wedding ceremony in the hotel. Why do I have to hold my wedding ceremony in the restaurant?? Also, sometime I cannot realize why they like to buy no brand product. I think I do not need too many stuff, but I hope all my stuff have the quality. However, buying the brand product is a handy way to ensure the quality. Sigh….It is really difficult to find the same sense of value besides they have the same process of growth. Maybe, it will easy to find they have the same sense of value.

I brought one iced coffee today. It costs 35 NT dollars.(Around one US dollar) I think youd better drink immediately, when you buy this coffee. When sipping, I felt I would like it. But I do not know why there is a bitter but not smooth taste several minutes later. I still recommend this coffee, but I will finish it in a minute. HA~
