Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010

This is the end of year 2009, and it is rea­lly an ama­zing one in my life.

At the begin­ning of the year, I said goo­dbye to Sun, and all my life in Sun was so memo­ra­ble that I can­not for­get about it. Then I took a 7-day-travel around Hong­Kong with my friends, and enjo­yed the best time in the winter.

After coming back, I sta­r­ted my new inter­n­ship at Mic­ro­soft. During those three mon­ths, I lea­rnt a lot about MS’s culture, work envi­ron­ment, and the latest deve­lop and test tech­ni­que around .NET 3.5 fra­me­work. I also lea­r­ned Open­XML docu­ment for­mat, and it is rea­lly cool. But unfo­r­tu­na­tely, I am not a lucky dog to be a regu­lar MSer. My mana­ger told me they had no hc and all the interns may not get a posi­tion in the group. So I had to say goo­dbye to MS, and fini­shed my inter­n­ship in my campus stage.

Then I plan­ned to go to Tibet for a won­der­ful travel with my best friend. With our great effort on the cir­cuit, culture, lodging, docu­ment colle­cting and so on around Tibet, we rea­lly did a per­fect pre­pa­ra­tion. Mean­while, we did a lot of pra­ctice to enhance our body ski­lls, and to ensure we can adapt the worst con­di­tion in the world about pla­teau problems.

We took the most sig­ni­fi­cant time in this year in Tibet in July, and rea­lly got sho­cked from Tibet’s sight-seeing and its culture about Tibe­tan Buddhism. We saw the most beau­ti­ful sky and cloud in Tibet that we had ever seen before, and went far from the pollu­ted cities. We felt so hea­lthy, so happy in those 7 days, and both of us were so enjo­ying ourselves.

After coming back from Tibet, I sta­r­ted to pre­pare my final the­sis and the pro­ject for my the­sis. I did a lot inve­sti­ga­tion around den­tal cli­nics, made seve­ral discu­ssions with doctors, nur­ses and their lea­ders. Then I sta­r­ted to design the archi­te­cture, then imple­men­ted it. I am happy it runs well on their cli­nics and it is use­ful and bene­fi­cial for their workflow.

Then I sta­r­ted to write down my pro­cess of software deve­lo­pment as the con­tent of my final the­sis. And thanks for my tutor to give me gui­des on how to write a good postg­ra­dua­tion the­sis. With mon­ths’ exer­tion, I succe­ssfu­lly fini­shed my the­sis and got my master’s deg­ree, and will gra­duate from PKU in the coming month.

Then I sta­r­ted my job hun­ting career, which is the tou­g­hest phrase in my life. There are so many paper tests, interviews or discu­ssions through these mon­ths, with striving, sad­ness, ten­sion, happi­ness and hope. It is for­tu­nate that I got 3 offers at the end of the year, and 2 of them I feel sati­sfied. In 2010, I will become an emplo­yee of a great company, and I am loo­king for­ward to putting my wit and my energy to con­t­ri­bute to my company! I see a bri­g­hter future in front of myself, and I will keep on going to reach the summit of my life.

Hello 2010!
