| Anyway, a update from last post. I screwed up my phone interview since they asked me alot of questions on TCP/IP which I am not familiar with. However, I asked my referral to see what would be next. And he refered my resume to another group! So the manager called me, and asked for a phone interview, this time I prepared all the networking questions, and think I would ack the test. However, the first questions he asked me was, do you know C++?
Well, I told him, that I do not know C++, and I have not even used C++ before, and it is not on my resume. So I asked for another chance, so I could brush up, and study C++. He agreed, and the very next week. We conducted our phone interviw, and I passed. Then he gave me some coding question to work on, and I passed that too. So now, they scheduled an on site interview with me next week. I hope I can do good, and move on, I am getting tired of my current situation.

| has to vent, after a week of silence, I have finally got the phone call from this about to IPO company. The recruiter has scheduled a phone interview with me on Wednesday morning. Exciting, mixed kind of feeling. Need to clam down and start to prepare. 1 step at a time. Try your best...

| Ok...need to vent again.
Saturday while I was playing b-ball, one of my friend's friend suddenly asked me whether I am looking for new opportunities. I said yes, then he told me that his company: a 1billion dollar revenue company is about to IPO in the next few month is hiring alot of people, and he can help me to get in. And asked me to stay after the b-ball to talk. So after the game was finished, he gave me his business card(he is a R&D engineering manager at this corporation) and asked me a few questions to get an idea of what my background is. Then he told me to send him my resume ASAP. So I did that on Sat nite, and he reply back saying he will talk to one of the manager this week, and if I don't hear from them, then ping him.
On Monday, one of my other friend who is a senior product manager of another company told me that her company will be bought off next year, and is desperately looking for people too, and asked me to sent her my resume.
Chance to make $$$ but which one.
1. 3 month to IPO company which has a revenuse of 1 billion, and has a bright outlook of becoming a 10 billion company
2. small company which will be bought off next year.
What do you think?

| My mood has been in a mixed, down kind mode for a couple days. I don't know why I am feeling this way. Went to one of my friend's engagement party yesterday. All Berkeley people. The couple are very happy, yet I am feeling kind down. I am bride's friend from college, I met her when I was a senior and she was a freshman. We are from the same city in China, and had alot in common. She is one of the 2 pplz that are from my home city that I have met through out the years in US. We were good friend while I was at college, then I graduated, and moved back to bayarea. She went on with her life as I did mine. We kept in touch through out the years, and never lose contact. I am 4 years older than her, and now she is married, and settled down with a guy who is deeply in love with her. We didn't talk much during the party, but I can feel she is very happy. Here I want to congrats them again, and wish them a happy marriage together. It's a gut feeling, but I sort feel the bride is somehow "mad" at me, didn't talk to me much on the party. Late, on my way out, I talked to bride's parents to say goodbye since they are my "hommie". The mom said her daughter mention me alot since we are from the same city, and was very happy that we are friends. And she said she will take me out to eat if I go back to china to visit. This is very different from how the bride is treating me that nite. I mean she is the one who invited me. Anyway, just some random rant. Again, I guess when I saw friends after friends are getting married, settling down and moved away from my life, I am feeling kind down since I am still in a stage of "where am I going?" "what should I do?" "I need more time". I thought I know what I want, but apparent "I don't know what I want", and I am powerless to change the track of my life right now. I have responsibilities to take on, and must take care of family. Some times I feel like I am a independent strong human being, sometimes I feel like I have a soft spot in my heart that I need more cares. Hopefully I can figure everything out, and move on with my life. Wish me luck.
