I will be going for a business trip in mid June. Up to now, we will stop at German for sure. Orignally, I was told that we may stop at Span. But now we may go England, possible France as well. But my preparation of trip was not quite smooth though. This trip is for the Video telephony. We don't have enough resources due to the still developing environment in Taiwan. I let others use the devices for other applications testing since we didn't have many. Right now, we have enough devices but lack of USIM. I thought I could use this weekend to get more familiar with the device and applications; however, my colleague, who tests Video telephony full time, was told on Friday to work extra hours on Saturday. This implies no testing for me over the weekend. My colleague and I hope I can do the testing while he is busy with other things. Just wish everything goes smoothly!
My company has developed several new devices this past six months. I like one small size PDA phone with keyboard attached. But right now, it is not quite stable for smoother use. New Smartphones are continuation of previous ones. Since it is a bit tedious to type on Smartphone, I prefer PDA phone. The device made for Video Telephony is design for business users. It has been described as electronic dictionary (very common devices in east Asia). Well, it does, plus a rotatable screen. Actually, it is not too bad. The design aims to use on the table. Typing is pretty convenient with keyboard. The size can not be smaller than most PDA phone with that large size of keyboard though. Many of colleagues said this device is too heavy. We even joke this device is a brick, which can hit people ^^ Sorry I can't show you what this device looks like yet, since it is not out in the market yet. Just wait another few months, I will have the pictures for you.
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)

0071. Keeping Sabbath
I can't remember since when I started to take Sabbath seriously. Maybe because I had an experience of blessing 15th years ago for keeping Sabbath. Maybe because Dad's order. All I know is that I have to keep Sabbath no matter what happened, unless there is a business or class I can not avoid. Therefore, it shocked me when a friend of mine not keeping Sabbath when she is on vacation. Keeping Sabbath is one of the ten commandments that God gave. God was angry with his people when they didn't keep Sabbath. So in my mind, this is not something I should compromise. I never really understand why people does not keep Sabbath.

0070. The time is near
Just read a part of "The Call": "The time is up and I will not give more chances to the people who say believe in Me but do not follow Me. Those who are not cold nor hot among my people will be removed." (Translated from Chinese, not originally English text) It's hard to describe my feeleing. The prayer I have is that, Dear God, I don't want to be among those whom you about to remove. Help me live more faithfully before you.

0069. The Helpless(2)
This is to clarify last post. Not long ago, one of the colleague gave me a book to read - Good Luck. The main message of this book is that we can not change fate but we are the one to create luck. It also includes some principles so that readers can apply to their lives. It takes some time to think through these principles in order to apply them into the current situations and life. We happened to study the helpless on the evening of the day I finished that book. I thought about these principles a little bit prior to the Bible study. During the Bible study I realized I don't need to spend time on these principles. The gentile is trying to make more money by using these principles. Jesus is all in all and it's enough to have him. Also, these principles may not help me to get closer to God. I don't need to spend time on these principles. Trust in the Lord because the Lord our God gets closer to the helpless!

0068. The Helpless
Lately, we are studying Psalms in the Bible. They are many psalms are about the helpless. And these psalms usually end with prayers to God. How ironic that we forget God till we have difficulties! Also, these psalms mention another type of people - the wicked. Often, only a thin line between the helpless and the wicked. For example, the helpless becomes the wicked when others become miserable because he lets out his downside of emotion of being the helpless. I think I need to be reminded often that I am the helpless; otherwise, I am way too easy to forget God.

0066. Memorize Bible verses
A month ago, Sister Wu started to memorize Bible verses with Brother Tung and Sister Lu. They invited me but I didn't have time to memorize one whole chapter each week. Sister Chao felt that we shouldn't be left behind so invited me to do English verses memorization. We both thought it is too much to memorize a whole chapter at beginning. Therefore, we start one verse at time from the list that Pastor Tsao created. Hehe, see how long we can do this.

0065. Work Swirl (6)
I have been working crazy as soon as my feet steped on Taiwan. 12 hours in the office are pretty normal these days. Last month, I even have to work on Saturday (tight schedule). Right now, I am doing more management side than testing. Since I came back, I have been doing all project releases, communications with PMs and RDs, and support others on testing. Well, these definitely keep me busy all the time.
Do I enjoy? So far, I am not against what I am doing right now. But I am not happy either. I like travel so it will be cool to go on business trips. I get jealous when my colleagues get chances to go for business trips. Also, I have became others' "trash can" (they dump their emotions to me) lately. I got more depressed and disappointed because of the informations from them (about work and people). I began to wonder why on earth I am doing as QA. At the position and work I am doing, I am not going anywhere near my dream professional as HCI consultant. At same time, I don't dare to move at all. God took me to this work environment and I believe He will take me to next work when the time is up. The feeling is frustrated. Well, the good part is because the frastration, I have no choice but cling to God.
One of my colleagues guessed that I have been put into the position to save others. He also mentioned the boss wouldn't give me the most tedious but yet important works unless he trusts me. Maybe he is right. All I wish is that I have more chance to get my hands on HCI.
