| Back from my week long Aussie-Singapore trip. My first ever visit outside of Taiwan and US, Canada and Mexico not withstanding since I see them as another US state and territory anyway. Now, I finally have a non-Taiwanese stamp on my passport, two of them in fact. This is so exciting, I feel like only an update can justify the occasion.
Since my mommy had business matters to take care of in Australia, I didn't do too much there. Not that there's much to the city of Brisbane anyway. Although the city is pretty chill and filled with a lot of young good-looking japanese tourists.
Here is my new cuddly friend, Patch, and a thousand words on our short-lived friendship:
How adorable....and the koala is pretty cute as well.
These fluffy animals live a pretty good life. All they do is sit there, chew leafs, and sleep all day. Nobody ever messes with them, not even other koalas. Not to mention, occasionally generous mommies shell out good Austrailian money for the lucky koalas to take pictures with their studly sons (Poorly worded and confusing sentences I know, but if you managed to read this far, you know what I mean). That's my kind of life, except for the vegetarian and studly sons part, of course.
I also got to hangout with some kangaroos. They are really friendly, unlike the ones you see on TV. However, all that hopping around seems very tiring and they poop a lot as well. The rest of the animals either look weird or have weird names.
One final quick thought on the country: Aussie accent, definitely a favorite of mine.
Then I went to Singapore for the weekend. Did some regular tourisy stuff there again I guess. Singapore is like a typical asian city except they call themselves a country. Overall a pretty cool place although I have trouble understanding their English and trouble understanding their Chinese as well. At least now I know more about Singapore than just Garrick Chow.
For now, my mother and I are back in the motherland where Chinese sounds more like Chinese and English sounds even less like English. Apparently, there's a new dumpling place underneath my Taipei home that's pretty good. Come visit me and I will treat you to a dumpling or two.

With that said, allow me to re-introduce myself- you are now visiting the blog of Daniel ver.XXI

| Recently I have decided that school is overrated....For three years, I have been doing a pretty difficult major, taking classes at a pretty fast pace, while maintaining a pretty good grade. Yet, most of the companies that I applied to wouldn't even give a sniff. Only a couple wtf companies decided to give me interviews. So I sucked up my pride and went in. The interviews went well, I answered all the technical and personal questions well and they promise to let me the result within a week and said my chances are really good. Well, it's been two weeks and neither companies have the decency to call me and tell me that I didn't get the job. And here's the funny part, for one of the job, they told me that I was the only applicant, just so it gets my hope up. So all that hard work in college means that I get to be rejected from a job that no one else wants. So at the end, I still need my parent to find me a job in Taiwan if I want one (which I don't want, but I have no alternate for the summer) I could have just majored in jumping jack and have my parents find me a job in Taiwan, while partying everyday in college.
So Alice is visiting from Seattle. I have decided that I don't need to study for finals, I will just play with her. 174 units in, my GPA ain't gonna change much. And so what if it drops, its not like it will prevent me from getting a job that I never a chance to start with. Anyone that wants to come play with me and my friend should come along!
Oh yeah, when I was sitting on my bed, my bed frame broke >_< so my mattress is slanting one way...I probably should have majored in bed fixing at ucla, so at least I could fix my bed. What good is electrical engineering in my everyday life? It's not like I need to or able to fix up a semicoductor circuit board when it reached saturation....
but anyway, went to Angels game on saturday, watched the mariners kick angels' asses which was sweet. Went to universal studio on sunday, and took picture with Sponge Bob, which is probably the highlight of my past three weeks, which speaks volume. Plenty more fun to come soon.
As far as my summer plan, I have one last interview scheduled in two weeks, which I really could care less at this point. If I don't get that, I probably have to go back to Taiwan again. So, come play with me in LA if I am here. Come play with me in Taiwan if I am there.
Btw, this entry is just for ranting....I don't really need any sympathy, nothing will change anyway.

| Trivia:
What's the solution to two asian guys having a really dirty bathroom?
Answer:
Having a 27 year old roommate who doesnt care about money but wants cleansiness to hire two mexican maids and clean it....
Now its sparkling clean!!!!
PICTURE UPDATE (since everyone loves pictures):
A nice perk about living in LA, rich people and willing workers. I
dont care about amnesty, but keep them around so it keeps my bathroom
clean

| My spring schedule
Just sharing this with all those wonderful people who care. I know none of you have classes with me, if you do, i probably already knew or just could care less. Now you know my schedule, you know when to hangout and when not to bother.
Spring break was fun, but seem kinda short. Stupid daylight saving time don't help either. The only nice thing about monday being here is UCLA WINNING TITLE XII
