I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’
and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’
They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures
and on hills that were previously bare.
They will neither hunger nor thirst.
The searing sun will not reach them anymore.
For the LORD in his mercy will lead them;
he will lead them beside cool waters.
~ Isaiah 49:9-10 (NLT)

0060. Company products

Many of you must be wondering what kind of products that my company produced. So here are some of them:

Orange UK

T-Mobile German

Dell Axim X50v

Most of them are not available in North America yet. So sorry if you are interested. As for me, my personal favorites up to now are T-Mobile SDA music and T-Mobile MDA compact.

0059. Hot v.s. Cold

The other day, Mom told me that it's so cold in vancouver, snowing, under zero degree etc. I told her that's good. That's winter like. Unlike here (Taiwan), the temperature keeps around 20 except two days (not even under 10 degree). It's not cold at all. I sometimes thought I were too much. But my brother keeps saying it's cold. ^^ Don't hit me! I am so used to the cold weather these days. These two days, I only wear a short sleeves with a thicker sweater cardigan. I took off the cardigan during the yesterday Sunday service because of drowsy and hot air in the 2nd sanctuary. Of course, I scared many. Well, I can't help it. It was hot.

Wonder if Chinese New Year is going to get colder...

0058. Another beginning of the year and updates

Time flies fast. I have been in Taiwan for almost an year. I am now used to here. I sometimes wonder if this is all just a dream. More often, I wonder where God is going to take me.



Mom came for 2 months. It was so nice to have her around for a while. I was being spoiled :P She took care of house chores that Michael and I don't pay much attention for. It seems so easy for her to do it every day. I never get used to doing these chores everyday. LOL Another thing we did while Mom is here was house hunting, but didn't find a house we like. I learned quite a bit from house hunting though. Anyways, with Mom is back to Vancouver, life here is back to where it was - just me.



Mom was joking that I know more people than she does at church now. Church office is like my own office. LOL Thanks to Pastor Tsao, who got me involve in more church activities and services. Otherwise, I could be sitting at back of the pew and no one knows me :)) Here is the list I am involving:


  • 2nd sanctuary organist planner

  • 2nd sanctuary organist and back up organist

  • Church web site webmaster

  • Visit Filipine workers of nusing home every two weeks

  • Part of visitants group (Occasionally)

Plus, two new items:

  • Sound and visual system technician (which I am alwasy intersted in and done it before)

  • English translator (Found out yesterday, a surprise)

I guess my life is busier and busier...



As for my work, I know fully back to being a tester. This is because I found a path to achive being a perfessional UI consultant. Also, being a Doc PM is not what I really enjoyed. Even though there are lots of things I can learned from, it is not helping me becoming a UI consultant. Right now we have a great QA manager, which I determine to learn as many as I could from him. He knows a lot of being an RD as well as a QA. Not only that, he determines to make all of us becoming the top of QAs. To start, we had group study of English almost every day. LOL Though I may not need those English practice, it's good to speak English again while learning domain knowledge. By the way, I move my main testing area from Smartphones and PDA phones to feature phones. Right now, I am studying all the backgrounds and environments, which is so boring, I tell you :D



So, it's another beginning of the year. It looks like I will be busy all the time. I like what Pastor Tsao said yesterday - this is an year of HOPE. Hmm, HOPE always.
