Complete render



I am not very satisfy yet. But It is getting there now. It didn't take me to long to complete this set.

They want me to stay in the project. Let's see what happen : )

I am indeed a very lucky person. I am so happy that I am out of the depressing working environment and get to be my own manager for my own life and work.

I wish this can continue and all these work will worth it at the end. Finally I feel like that I am actually living a life instead of like a bolt in a machine.

I am very lucky indeed.

DormRoon Pass One


Working from Home is awesome. This is what I did today. I hope UBC will like it.

My investment and financial planning study is going...I am planning everything out the moment and enjoying the sun...

I hope the market will come around soon.

Made $1,287.36 this morning with 2 stocks

This is my first trade attempt in a very tough market.

X just went up like crazy - up one point 9 dollars.

In 3 hours I made 1,287 dollars.

Not bad considering that is my 2 weeks part-time work salary : )

First big success. I have put all stop limit and made sure I only keep my loss within 1% of total investment.

This is so much fun!

My trip to Kelowna!

I didn't take below pictures.






It is such a beautiful place!! We visited 3 wineries and a cherry picking garden. Okanagon! I love it....Have to go back again.

I have a few first times in this trip: first time have a pedicure and manicure.
First time visit a winery. First time eating duck breast that is not made by T&T ( and it is the best dish I ever had in my life) First time see a real oak wine barrel, First time pick cherries, First time join a wine making tour, first time feel like in Europe in Canada.

UBC ask me to renew the contract soon. I think if I can still have all these flexible hours and benefits I will renew it to November.

I am planning my next trip. Toffino next, Bahama this winter, and after toffino hopefully I can go see the northwest of Canada and Camp there. ( I found the idea of camping in northwest still quite frightening)

I need my Canadian Passport soon.....I need to go travel!

Found a place for my parents. It is around fir and West 16th. On that beautiful Cherry Blossom Street.

It is very cheap for only 2 months compare to other places downtown. And it is a very very nice building...... 850 sft big. Just there is no T&T around there which is a drawback : )

I never can learn the game of being smart and quiet. Life is too short to just smell asses and sit on a chair feel your ass getting fat.

An empty room full of jack asses can make me very very sick indeed.

I am one lucky person whom have the luxury of escape and attitude. Human nature, seasoning of drama and endless funny episodes.

Planning my study in Italy

There is this government project between Canada and Italy. As a Canadian Citizen, I can go work in Italy for 6 months....

I will love to find out more about it and it will be great if I can go there next year to work : )

Going to Kelowna this weekend.

Luna is coming over tomorrow morning to help me pack my stuff prepare for the painting job.

Need to get back into shape soon...yoga and swimming!

New works



For UBC, the residential school project.
I am upgrading my place. Just hired a contractor and I am going shopping tomorrow with him. By 15th of July, the whole place will be complete. I am so excited!

Next will be changing the kitchen counter top.

My parents are coming over again this August. I am looking for a place for them. Investment study is going pretty well. The UBC game project is going very well too.

I visited Galiano island this canada day holiday with Carlo and Rob. We had a lot of fun! Thank you so much for going to the island with me. I am grateful to have friends like them. Carlo surprisingly a very good pickup truck driver!

Vagn has a girl friend now. I think it will be very hard to have him come over help me out with the house again. I guess I have to stop rely on him with all the fixings around the place. Maybe forget about him totally. Pretend that I have never met him before. I don't know why I am upset. It is very selfish of me indeed.

I think the best thing for both of us will be forget about each other and stop all communication. That will be the only way that won't upset his new girlfriend.

Good Luck Vagn. You will never hear from me anymore.

I am dating someone. I guess. He invited me to meet his best friends a few times But I refused, it is way too soon to meet the team. It is better get to know him better first...He is actually a romantic person. Poor guy got lots of mosqito bites playing golf. I like him, but I am not sure it will grow into love or not. He is younger than me...

I love UBC

It is so nice working for UBC. I am my own manager and set my own schedule.I really enjoy my experience there and they have free lunch hour music concert all the time. Just joined a UBC town hall conference.... what a beautiful building( life science ), and they have students play live music there during lunch and break. The catering was awesome!

I will love to reduce my hour to 3 or 4 hours a day after July and continue my training in investment...going to a IPO presentation Friday night. Joining an option trading workshop next Monday and Tuesday.

Working part time for UBC fits my schedule perfectly. Orientation tomorrow, I hope that I can meet some people whom I can have good conversations with.

Vagn is dating someone. I am actually happy for him.... But I have the feeling of my only family in Vancouver is leaving me even it was expected since 4 years ago.

I cried for hours last night. What a stupid and selfish person that I am.

Say goodbye

I feel very bad that I have to focus on the UBC position and leave this job. Jill the VP really treated me very well and I had learned a lot from her. I am so sorry.

I just discovered joggling between 2 jobs can really help me loss weight and hair plus some self-esteem.

UBC = Good Pension and GOOD JOB?

I love the position as a designer and making 3d at the same time,but not so sure about the possible politics which can get very serious in the campus environment according to one of my colleagues who have been working there for 6 years.

The word politics is so broad and very confusing. I think it can maybe sum up into one sentence in the university environment: human behavior which involved harvesting the maximum benefit with the minimum effort which usually at the end all come to" money". Identifying which monkey group to relate to will be essensial to " survival" which is crucial to mental well being.

I want to point and laugh. Laugh so loud that I will pee my pants.

People are suffering and dieing, the earth is crying due to us, romance are waiting to begin but!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we are too busy dealing with politics. Politics will be all bull shit unless it is for a purpose which will achieve a higher purpose and make this world a better place.

I really have no patience to these kind of stuff.

There was this lady who were visiting from another smaller IS department for UBC. My manager introduced her to me in the office. After I said hi nice to meet you. I thrown in a sentence: " can I help you with anything? "

My colleague who worked there more than 6 year overheard that sentence. In the afternoon she gave me a very serious talk: you have to be very careful, there are a lot of politics around here, you shouldn't say: can I help you? here. because she is not from our learning centre, if you said that to her, she might actully gave you lot of work to do or ask you lots of questions..... and that office can be extremely demanding. so just don't ever say " can I help you? ".

How should I look at this?

UBC Art Falculty called

Have an interview today. It was interesting.

Friday, April 04, 2008

Everything is going very well

I love working for this e-learning company. My boss is a very nice lady. I actually really love working with her. The work I got is not hard and I can pretty much complete them in about 2 hours every day. Rest of the day I am learning investment and working on my art portfolio.

It has been some of the best time I had since I came to Vancouver.

Just got my Etrade account!

I logged in my Etrade account the first time today! Brought HAL two weeks ago and it was up 2 dollar and I had made 800 dollars with 400 stocks I had. Good news just came up 3rd of April about this company and I will keep the stock for a few more days maybe.

My buddy Vagn has made 8000 dollars in 3 weeks working only a few hours a day in the morning. So far he has not lost a cent in most of his trades.

I love the mad money show : ) For the thinking and the discovering behind it. And all the dramas and enthusiasm from this guy - Jim Cramer : ) He is a very smart and funny guy even in his books.

I think I just discovered that managing my own money is totally possible. The biggest reasons of all is that I actually care.

I got the job

I got the job. Now I am officially working part time making more than I need and I will only need to sit in front of the computer 3 hours a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the rest of the day will be all mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best of all... I will work from home and the company just across the street. Am I dreaming? And finally I am doing something that is helping people to learn and get a better life. I wish one day, I can use those multimedia tools to create something that can have positive impacts on people's life and help them to develop their skills.

New work



I decided to keep this blog and use it as a update site for my works.

New Character : It was fun working on him. Feel almost like writing a final paragraph for my 3d career. Like telling a story; like bringing something to life.

I got 2 freelance job for 2 companies. It is nice that I will be able to travel with my laptop and make money to pay my bill while traveling or at home. I am so happy to finally get the call from the e-learning company.

I am officially starting my training courses in Swing Trading. It is fascinating watching the market in the morning 6:00am. One of my friends have been making around 200 dollars even more every day from home for 2 weeks. I guess it was maybe just luck : )

Evil Neighbour

Selfish people with no compassion to other creature and people. They are wasting and consuming valuable resources in the world and give absolutely nothing back but pure evil, hatred and garbage. They should not exist and should be destroyed.

Like my new neighbors upstairs whom get stoned every night and jump up and down like 600 pound monkeys with a weed head.
I am starting to have a little bit of sympathy for gun users in the US. If there is a license for only killing evil humans in the world, I will go hunting every night and my first stop will be upstairs.

Starting a new one this summer that is all about fun!!!


It is amazing how can someone view me so wrong.... it was ridiculous.

This diary is actually for myself to sort out and record my thoughts. I no longer feel safe to do so here.

By the way, I went to the dancing class again last night. Our teacher was amazing! She is very beautiful and a very elegant dancer. All the students there were amazed : )

Can't wait to go hiking with my friends. We are planning a few 3 days trips after April. Camping!

Ridiculousness is part of life, there is only so much fun you can have with it before you run out of laughters.

This summer will be my new beginning. It is time to start a new blog with only fun stuff maybe : )

Once upon a time in a beautiful country

I love talking and shopping with Luna. She is one of my best friends in Canada.

I wish we can both get what we wanted from live. I am looking forward to be her bride's maid next year in her wedding.

Wish her all the happiness on earth

Vagabonding - by Rolf Potts and obedient-submissive stereotype

Your gender, for example, will affect how people react to you. Indeed, while most everything I say in this book applies equally to men and women, cross-cultural social interactions are a major exception. This is because women travelers more frequently tend to be the target of curiosity, harassment, and double standards. Simple friendliness and eye contact can be taken the wrong way by men in traditional cultures, and female independence is strangely confused with sexual lasciviousness in many parts of the world. It is not fair, but it's a reality - so female travelers should be on their guard.

I found this paragraph rather interesting. I don't think it just apply to cross-culture travelers, it apply also to every girls ( maybe especially Asian girls whom are suffering from obedient-submissive stereotype ) in North America.

Sometimes it get so funny and unbearable to watch, you just want to have fun with it. See what will they pretend to be to get lay and while they found that they couldn't then disappear swiftly into the universe like they had never exist. It is so obvious and predictable to a point that it is disgusting. That is why I get advices from girls like " tell every men you have a boyfriend as soon as you arrive the company, trust me, best policy getting rid of bugs."

I believe both sex have sexual needs and it is extremely normal and understandable. All you need is honesty, be honest to the other party with your truth feelings and respect theirs. At least give the courtesy of aligning expectations. But I believe some men believe it is much easier to cheat their way into getting what they want thus betray themselves as well as their female encounters' trust and compassion.

I guess if you are an animal who only worship money worrying about feeling will be a waste of time.Unfortunately, "nice girls" have to learn how to love these modern male
anthropoid apes.

Went to the dancing class again tonight. So much fun : ) So so nice to see Meg and Sandra again.

Little doctor lake

"Preparation no more spoils the chance for spontaneity and serendipity than discipline ruins the opportunity for genuine self-expression in sports, acting, or the tea ceremony."

When can I start my exploring! I wish I can fly out to the little doctor lake right now.
