What have I spent my time on?

Yesterday someone told me about Billy Joel, LOL, I don't know who he is... And it is sooo easy for my brother to tell me any one singer in HK, whom I do not know... I know nothing about music... And this someone also talked about this No True Scotsman concept, is also my first time to hear... and yet someone else told about the "law of non-contradiction" and also the "one-and-many" problem... I know nothing about philosophy... And when I'm asked about CS questions, I know neither more than the other IT-er. What have I spent my time on? Random thinking?

Job search update

Had an Interview with the Shanghai hiring manager, he said he has learnt German some 16 years ago, he told me "Morgen" and "Auf wiedersehen". It is funny that when I had interviews with this company, the first time I was in London, second time in Tübingen, by the third time I will be in HK. Will I be in somewhere else for the 4th interview? I haven't written back my collegue to meet him before I leave. I'm not sure if I am rude by doing this... I simply have an uncomfortable feeling when people treat me "too well" ... I hate guys showing-off to me their possessions. Hey.. I'm earning very little, but I'm financially self-sufficient, and I don't sell my affection.

Will we meet by chance?

The "clone" is going to renew his visa in April in HK. Can you believe this? After 2 years, *maybe* we have a chance to meet. It is only a possibility, because I want to leave HK again asap. From the time when I had the craziest plan to visit him only from a satellite picture, to the time I realize we may never meet (and it is unnecessary to), how strange is my feeling when I read this email... I imagine when we meet, we will talk about what we did in these 2 years, and maybe our views? I think, at least, I have changed quite a bit. Probably we are no longer in any way similar. Life is like a dream. I hope it is not a nightmare. :)

What's new today...

Yesterday I received a phone call at 1am. I was already sleeping on my bed. I didn't get up fast enough to pick up the call. Then I received the email from this newly poped out company in Taipei, asking "You are in Germany...?" -_-" , and they said the interview has to be postponed. I am supposed to received a phone call this morning from Shanghai. The staff called me very punctually, but she said the interview has to be postponed again... Then I wrote an email to Keith at Sydney, asking if there is a technical interview this week. The answer is also not very positive... The only phrases which I like recently are: 1) Submit to the timing not of your own plan 2) If something is supposed to happen, every condition will be provided for it to happen.

Unpredictable life...

I think maybe it is like what Laurent said... "I am cursed"... Suddenly I receive an email from Brian, my application at Perth is only at a second position, although the person at the first position has not yet accepted the offer... Then I had an interivew with Keith at Sydney for another position... While I am looking for how I can apply for a working holiday visa to Taipei, searching on the web just any job I can do. I received an email about a new interview at Taipei next Thursday. And I also received helps from 2 Taipei-er... They help me to resolve my problems in room searching and transportations. I have no idea why they have to help me. This world is strange in so many ways... But the email about the Taipei interview arrives at a very strange time... But my life is still destined in the same way: if I tell the world I will go to Perth, finally I will not go there...
