从今天开始 对自己好一些

天哪 怎么转眼又是一年
去年写生日blog的场景好像还是昨天
这一年浑浑噩噩的就过去了
无所事事什么收获也没有
倒是皮肤在真真切切的衰老——尽管也许这个微妙的过程只有每天照镜子无数遍的自己才能清晰的感受到
今年好多人都跟我说
老女人生日快乐
这个年纪是个坎
大概从今天开始 正式奔三像大龄剩女迈进
从今天开始 再也不告诉别人我的年纪 (已经知道的请自觉忘记)
从今天开始 永远活在twenty something
从今天开始 每天多喝水多吃水果
从今天开始 每天记得早晚护肤
从今天开始 每天一定要12点以前睡觉!
从今天开始 每周锻炼身体
从今天开始 学着睿智
从今天开始 学着宽容
从今天开始 学着微笑
从今天开始 脚踏实地的把空想变成行动!!
 
从今天开始 对自己好一些

Geeks in Redmond and the Movie Guru

Microsoft announced the project Natal yesterday at this year's E3 in LA. I can see how it would blow away the Wii controller but it still bears lots of technical difficulties. There are folks in my building always playing this in their office. But here's a piece of news that REALLy caught my eyes today:
 
 
...where it says
 
"The haze cleared about the time Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg appeared alongside Mattrick, standing up for the geeks in Redmond, saying they truly have something revolutionary."
 
There are at least two things to comment about.
 
In November 2005 when Wii just came out, Steven Spielberg was surprisingly amazed and facinated about it and signed a 3-game contract with EA right away. I was "lucky" enough to sit on that team for two Summers and unlucky enough to witness how to fail a project. And now, our big director is getting FACINATED AGAIN! Does this lead to a contract with MSFT? Ironic :) Let's see.  
 
So we go by the geeks in Redmond...that's the way it is. That's how people see us. D'oh.

锻炼身体

三年前的时候我有半年的时间用不正确的方法增肥
那次整个人是胖了很多 脸都圆得不能看
整个增肥计划完全失败
恢复正常饮食之后体重迅速下降
但是肚子上出来的肥油怎么甩也甩不掉

Quote to share: 切忌盲目增肥!要科学!

最近体检的结果我的body fat和BMI都比想象的要低好多
体重也还是千年不变的那个数
但是我这次是真的下决心要好好的健身甩掉肚子上的肥肉练出腹肌来!
肩膀宽厚一点
重点是穿衣服会比较好看Angel
现在每天坚持
1. 15-30分钟力量 - 重点是手臂 胸肌 腹肌(50个负重仰卧起坐)
2. 60分钟有氧 - 游泳500-1000米 然后hot tub20分钟
3. 15-30分钟力量 - 重复1.
两周下来体重一下子涨了几磅。。没有什么视觉效果上的变化
再坚持三五个月看看。。。

一句话说出来容易 做起来何其难

 

梁:言之,没事吧,没见到你,我很担心。
祝:我跟本就没去。
梁:我不明白。
祝: 你别这么天真,好吗?我回来以后我才发现,我们背景实在相差得太远了,你连祝家都比不上又怎么和马大哥相比呢?马大哥为我付出太多,我被他的诚意打动,所以我决定嫁给他。
梁:你在逍遥山的时候,不是这样子。
祝:你不要老是提逍遥山了。你回逍遥山做你的大师兄吧,那里才是你自以为是的地方,在这里,你算什么?
梁:这真的是你的意愿吗?
祝:你到底要怎样才相信?从此你我恩情已断。以后你我各不相干,请你走吧。
梁:其实…只要你说一句,你不再爱我,我就会明白。
祝:为何要我对你说?你从来都没有对我说过这句话。这样对我公平吗?
梁:你头上的蝴蝶发簪呢,这又代表什么?叫我如何死心啊。
祝:言之拔出发簪刺在重伤的仲山的身上)现在你可以死心了。
梁:我们的身份实在悬殊,不对你说出这句话,就是害怕会出现今天这样的结果。以我的性格,说出这句话,就是代表一生的承诺。虽然我没说,但我已经做了。

为什么bank攒着REO的房子不肯抛出来?

First Bank of Greedy Shmucks (FBGS) gave John Doe a loan to buy a property in 2005 for $800K, completely failing to do a fact check and realize that the home last sold for $65K in 2002 (thus is grossly inflated) AND that John Doe has lied on his loan applicatio, and that his income as a check-out clerk at Walmart comes nowhere near to providng an income that can cover the mortgage payment.

But FBGS makes the loan anyway.

THEN three years later, the real estate bubble bursts, the "value" of the home corrects, and John can't make the payments, so the bank repos the house, along with ten other homes they made imprudent loans on in the same neighborhood. FBGS is left holding  a loan with $799k outstanding on a home that now is priced at $200k by the most optimistic estimate possible. 

The stock market has crashed, other banks are dropping like flies, and the executives at FBGS are frantic to avoid reporting ANY further losses that might unstabilize the bank's standing or piss off their already angry investors. 

Now, the smoke and mirrors.

If FBGS just HOLDS the REO homes, they can report that they have ASSETS amounting to the original sale price of the home/bad loan amount. BUT if they SELL the REO at a now-reasonable post-crash price, say, $200k, they HAVE TO REPORT THE REMAINING $599 AS A LOSS. (BTW this is how Lehman Bros et al crashed.)

So, chances are that the bank has gotten up their nerve to actually sell the house you're looking at, but then panicked and raised the price because they were afraid to write off too much.

How to find passion

In order to find your passion, I suggest you take some quiet time by yourself to answer these questions.  Take time to get in touch with your deep inner self.  Your passion comes from the heart.  Ask yourself these questions:

1. What excites and energizes you?
- Something exclusive...that differentiates me from the others
- Something creative and fun
- When people put lots of faith in me or high expectation 
- Playing diablo 2
- Big sales

2. What brings you joy?
- When I accomplish things in 1
- When I am being respected by peers
- When I feel I am influential
- Travel
- Other relaxing type of activities: video games, shopping, movies etc

3. What activities in your professional life are most enjoyable?
- Not sure so far...

4. What activities in your personal life are most enjoyable?
- Similar to 2

5. When does time seem to fly by?  What are you typically doing?
- Coding / debugging
- Browsering gossip on the internet
- Shopping

6. What past experiences have been most meaningful or significant?  Why?
- Hmmmm...maybe presenting at siggraph? I dont' know why :/

7. If you had unlimited time and resources and knew you couldn't fail, what would you do?
- Run my own high-tech company?
- My own fashion label? 
- Make a movie? A video game?

8. If you had one hour on prime time TV, what subject would you talk about?
- I am not sure...

9. What is the one problem or issue you were born to address?
- Too big a question. I don't know the answer yet...

10. If you had one year left to live, what would you do?
- Travel around the world.

After writing your answers to these questions, review them and look for common themes.  What stands out?  This is an important clue to discovering your passion.  What insights have you gained?  Take time to ponder these things in the coming days and weeks.  It may take time to discover your true passion.

牢骚一下

算算也是在美国第六个年头了
想想这六年来真是什么破事都赶上了
当年签证的时候赶上911之后签证最黑暗的一年
拿着名校全奖被拒签
后来毕业的时候赶上了H1B史无前例的要抽签
毫无准备的情况下没抽中
刚开始工作就赶上了recession大潮+公司第一次大规模layoff
连perm都不能办了(以及排期大倒退)
绿卡?10年以后再说吧。。。
 
父母一辈的版本就是
上学的时候赶上了上山下乡
生娃的时候赶上了计划生育
工作的时候赶上了下岗
 
其实很多时候人自己的力量是渺小的
总有这样那样的大环境推着你飘来飘去
 
结论
要是我早生一年
或者没有晚一年念小学
什么破事都刚刚好错过。。。

=================================
好吧 其实也没有那么糟糕
最多就是曲折一点  中间损失时间金钱以及一些心理煎熬

03年拒签 二千过了
07年h1b抽签不中  08年中了
09年公司layoff   但是我08年底交了PERM

这个是第一天晚上的fastforward

当时观众比较多 确实比较紧张

上台之前腿一直在发抖

上去之后脑子里面一片空白

正式的presentation video is too big to post lol

最孬的新年 最舒服的一周

因为我提前放假所以等到我回来开始上班的时候大家都回家过年了
外面又是雪又是雨的我的2009居然是昏睡+看小说中到来的
想想看这应该是N年来最倒最孤独的过法吧
但同时这也是工作以来最舒服的一周
本来就空荡荡的楼里面现在更是鬼影都见不到
某天睡过了头心想那就work from home吧
结果就是睡了一天
今天又几乎是如此
中午12点多赖在床上一场天人交战之后决定去上班
勉强撑到5点多就溜之大吉
真希望日子一直这样下去啊。。。

回来了

好久没有长途旅行了
如果现在不写点流水账大概再也懒得写出来
短短的3个星期内途径5个国家(地区)的15个城市(包括3个过路的)
玩到哪儿就吃到哪儿买到哪儿
很是意犹未尽
越是坚定了我努力赚钱这样就可以无忧无虑的到处旅游到处购物的信念
 
接下来的一段时间我会陆续按照时间顺序写点游记
先用标题占坑
 
Tokyo
后来想想这一路下来这些亚洲国家里面女生最fashion最能打扮的非日本莫属
从头到脚每一个细节都是精心打扮过的
个个拎个好包
和她们走在一起立刻就觉得underdress
只是过路 没什么多的感想
下次一定专门来玩儿
 
Kuala Lumpur
我和妈妈约好在吉隆坡机场的burger king见面
结果下飞机才傻眼
原来吉隆坡有两个机场的
而我给自己以及我妈订的budget机票都是在另一个小机场降落
而我却特地把见面地点约在千里之外的大机场
可怜了我妈
 
那天当真是倾盆大雨 很是扫兴
我们一早上就直奔twin tower
从地铁站出来发现是个很大的商场
里面能想到的luxury brand全都能找到
发现价格还是比美国贵不少
我在商场门口向四周看了看
没发现任何特别高的建筑更别说什么双塔了
只好在商场里抓了个人问
别人用匪夷所思的表情看着我说
你就在双塔的里面阿
巨汗
于是又走出去
回头的刹那还是很震撼的
小时候看江洋大盗zeta jones和sean connery在里面表演神偷的场面还历历在目
记得那也是个12月底
那时候我们家还有我 我妈 我爹 我爷爷
貌似那是最后一次全家人一起去电影院看电影
转眼就物是人非了唉
 
虽说吉隆坡这个城市是大清官员所建
但今时今日完全是islamic和hindu的天下
随处可见的清真寺和hindu temple
也算别有一番风景
街上有很多明显卫生条件成问题的餐馆
一些叫不出名字的菜
味道蛮不错的
老区的街道拥挤杂乱
特别特别的脏
和双塔所在的区域形成鲜明的对比
后来我们搭乘那种连接南亚国家的火车回新加坡
这里的卧铺车厢很有意思
床铺是和列车平行的
不想国内是垂直的
车上还算干净
每个床都有窗帘
这点比国内好
半夜出境的时候被喊起来检查护照
后来入新加坡国境的时候还得下车
 
总的来说吉隆坡应该是这次我拜访的亚洲城市里面最糟糕的
无论是城市环境还是街上的路人
街道上的脏乱差让我想起了多年前的汉正街
女生们穿着很是随便
基本上毫无美感可言
不过众所周知其实马拉西亚真正好玩的地方是周围的那些岛屿
由于这次时间上非常匆忙没机会拜访
以后有机会再说吧
 
Singapore + Siggraph Asia + H1b Visa stuff
 
Hong Kong + Shenzhen
 
丽江
 
大理
 
上海
 
苏州
 
武汉
 
西安
 
郑州+开封
 
北京

生活太不空虚...

 
最近精彩太多 忙得透不过气来
 
其一 包
首先 thanks to the bad economy those luxury designers all went through bloody price cut recently
其结果就是斩获gucci包包三只(一只是j买给我的 很开心)
值得一说的是其中一个08 fall新款的babouska boston
得知那天saks开始疯狂的70%
WA真是土到不行 整个state没有一家saks (别的uppderscale department store也都没有>_<)
我花了一天的时间打遍了各州不下30个saks
好不容易找到一家在phoenix的还有我要的款
女人疯狂起来真恐怖
那天下午jj一下班就赶去beveley hills的saks
整个商场居然已经被洗劫一空
后来black friday凌晨赶去outlet
本来说帮同学买个coach
结果一家伙又买了3个(主要是真的很便宜>___<)
这下我有下雨时候可以用的包包了 虽然也不是很防水-_-
 
其二 游戏
最近大作真的很多
上次jj给我拿来的spore就完全没有顾上玩儿
这次又带来了dead space和crysis: warhead
这两个就一定不能错过了
 
先说dead space
没想到EA这种二流公司也能做出这么棒的一流游戏
而且还是我一直不怎么感冒的EARS
敬仰一下
剧情很不错
恐怖+恶心做的真到位
画面也是大大出乎意料之外
比EALA死抱着不放的破UE3好多了
再就是非常innovative的3D UI system拉
确实impressive
附带的comics和电影很超值
算是把故事的前因后果给交待的清清楚楚
强烈推荐一下
 
crysis: warhead是含着金汤勺出生的
前作一切的优良传统自然都得到了保留
画面更流畅一些
设计上一些小的改动很贴心 (比如自动pick up but sometimes it's kinda annoying too)
这次虽然开始没多久alien就出现
也不知道是因为之前crysis都打穿了手熟了还是他们故意把游戏弄简单了
总是感觉alien缩水了
用一般的枪多打几枪瞄准一点也能打死
但是我还是更enjoy shooting the KPA
因为那样可以有更多的玩法选择
更多的tactics可以用
现在可好 游戏开始没多久就进入frozen paradise
只剩下aliens和穿了nanosuit的人没死
最可爱的穿着土兵服的KPA们都被冻死了哎
 
其三
siggraph and related
想想真crazy
转眼就到12月了
siggraph只有一个星期了
none of my co-authors can make the trip
it'll be me presenting the work alone in front of 200+ people
and i just started to write my slides today
i am going to panic T______T
这周五siggraph i3d 09也要出结果了
好紧张啊
 
======
这周六就要起程了
一直玩儿到月底再回来
虽然很期待 但是一想到手上还有那么多要做的事情没做就很头大
期间还要h1b签证
老天保佑我千万不要被check在singapore阿!!!
