25 random things about me (and there’s no me)

  1. I just married.
  2. I marry my first and 10-years-long love.
  3. We have spent 5 years apart, 5 years together.
  4. We have fought countless times and nearly broke up several times. In the end, we couldn’t find a better match.
  5. Rumors said that our ages are not suitable, and probably we’ll fight until the end of time.
  6. We are very different. She’s talkative. I’m quiet. She’s hot-tempered. I’m calm. Countless different things. That’s why we complete each other.
  7. We are similar in many fundamental ways. That’s why I’ve found that we will always find what we’re looking for. If we want to see differences, we will see all kind of differences. If we want to see similarities, we will see all kind of similarities. Everything is subjective.
  8. I am being subjective.
  9. I like reading. I spent most of my primary years to read all sort of books. Then I got banned after asking my mother to explain what is “brothel”.
  10. After twelve years in school, I didn’t know what I like to do. So I went to study computing and economics.
  11. After 2 years, I still didn’t know which way I should go. Then they offered me scholarship to study electronics engineering in Australia. It’s easy to decide.
  12. Engineering is tough. Endless four-hour labs. My friends and I spent many hours there in Tasmania winter, swearing at each other to kill time.
  13. After graduation, I told myself “Hey, let’s do what I used to like”. So I applied for post graduate scholarship in computer science.
  14. I negotiated over the phone with my interviewer to go directly to Ph.D. program, naively thought that it’s just another 4 years.
  15. I was wrong. Ph.D. program is completely different from master and undergraduate. It requires very different mindset, different ways of thinking and doing, different endurance level. You’d be up to the sky sometimes and down to ground most of the time, feeling totally stupid and worthless.
  16. I read about database for more than a year to realize that I had no research interest on that, and changed to multimedia streaming. One of my advisors later told me that if you read something and don’t like it, leave it.
  17. I never knew when and whether I could make it, until they gave me the conferment. After graduation, I read a book called “Your Ph.D. companion,” just to realize that I’m not alone.
  18. I’ve made a lot of friends, learnt a lot about multimedia, network, streaming, phylosophy, history, religions, businesses, fengshui, physiognomy, astrology, psychology, photography, etc., and changed a lot during my “seven years in Tibet”.
  19. I’ve learnt a lot about myself, learnt to accept what I am and what each person is. You cannot love anyone else, if you don’t love yourself.
  20. I’ve learnt to respect Nature, to respect the food chain and life chain, to know that we’ll sow what we seed.
  21. I’m doing what I like and probably good at: analyzing and consulting on IT market, a mix between technology and business.
  22. I believe everyone should find what and who you really love, the sooner the better. Don’t waste time. Life is really short. We all die eventually. Must enjoy the journey.
  23. If there’s incarnation, I were probably a monk, or a rabbit. I can live with fruits and carrots. And I see death and life the same: random and marvellous.
  24. I love my family. I only realized how I love them when I was 24.
  25. I love you all. Really, my friends. At least in a Buddhist way, my foes :)).
