Work Starts!!

Finally, I got the job offer and started working since this Tuesday. That's a big relief!!

Basically, I'm using my F-1 on Optional Practice Training(OPT) visa, and it's only valid for 12 months. Because the OPT started at October 1st, and I didn't get the job until recently, this visa can only last till the end of September, 2009. If I want to stay here for longer period, I will have to apply for the H1-B visa for work authorization. That will be another hassle next year....

The job is so far ok. I'm now working in a branch of a Taiwanese bank, beginning as a dealer. I do hope this job will turn out to be a fun job, and I hope I will learn a lot from it as well.

4 more days will be X'mas. I only have one day off but I am going to Brazil for the new year on the 27th. I'm very happy and excited to go there because I can meet my dearest Richard and also my lovely friends, Renata and Herton.

Oh, I do look forward to the beautiful beaches and sunshines there in Brazil now, with the company of my beloved ones~~ : )

Merry X'ams and Happy New Year~~

New Hair

Finally, I got my hair cut again!!
This time, I went to a hair salon in Koreatown, called Etude.

The store is very new and clean, looks like some high-end hair salon.
The decoration and the colors of the store are basically white and black, classic atmosphere.
There are even TVs in front of every seat to entertain you while you're having your hair done!!
But the price is not surprisingly high, at least not as high as the ones in Little Tokyo or Beverly Hills.

I got my hair permed and cut. This time I cut it quite short, because I want to get rid of most of my damaged hair from previous color dying and perms.
When I walked in to the store, my hair was almost to my waist. When I walked out of the salon, it was only 2-3 cm passes my shoulder.....very short for me since I graduated from junior high school. But I look younger and more energetic.

Here are some pictures:

I like my new hair~~ *^__^*

一年又一年....

阿~~
又到了這個時候啦.....
真的是好快啊

還記得去年的生日是在舊金山
老林家慷慨的借我當場地開party
儘管隔週馬上就要期末考
還是來了好多同學朋友捧場
超級熱鬧滾滾

今年搬到了LA
情人和朋友都不在身邊
但是多了家人的陪伴
還是很開心
也許唯一不開心的
是我又老了一歲吧
呵呵

這一年發生了很多事情
也經歷了一大堆的不確定
可是年末總結
也算是收穫滿滿
結果都還令人滿意
該完成的完成了
不確定的確定了
剩下的就是繼續昂首闊步
往前邁進
我始終相信
只要目標明確
過程儘管與計畫的不盡相同
還是可以達到的我要的結果

所以接下來的新目標：
努力工作存錢
持續往歐洲邁進吧
哈哈哈～～
