| May 23rd, 2009 was probably one of my biggest day in my life. as i graduate from college, becoming the first member in the family to graduate from college, stepping into another stage of life, parents officially relief from worrying about my school progress. weeks before i graduate, somehow i had the feeling of pausing, stop right there, i don't want to graduate, and i don't want to move on since i am comfort in this stage. however, life never gives us any choice to pause, to rewind nor because your comfortably will stop time from going forward. it doesn't mean that i like school nor enjoy the process of school, but school has been with me for about two decades. i am having the moments of missing something which has been part of my daily life for many many years.
as i lined up from entering the stadium, i walked by many classmates. i have seen most of them in my classes, on campus, through friends and familiar faces. waited for a good few minutes before moving the line and slowly approaching the entrance. those footsteps suddenly brought me a lot of emotions. all the years in university, waited for one day, today, and with all the years of hard work, luck on exams and finding parking spots, study groups, projects, happy and sad times with test results, scrambling for availability classes, suddenly all flowing in and out of my mind. thought about how hard my parents raised me, my appreciation toward them and supportive from my family. without my parents, i wouldn't be there today, and i can tell you that my life will be 180 degree, closing to failure or failed already. i am not in a big success, but it is a major achievement. it is a rough day, an emotion day, happy yet with tearing eyes, looking around my peers, it has been dam few years in this cold, diverse and huge volume of students university. now my working life is slowly, quietly, creepily stepping into a major role in my life. fortunately i don't have to face the full reality yet since i have my parents shelter, but this role will very soon to take over my youthful time of life. one thing that i can say to myself, David, i am very proud of you, and you can take on your new role, and keep your heads up and step up to your game. with that, i am ready to accept my new coming challenge.

| it is the most wonderful time of the year.... yes another year passing by and it is about time to update since my last entry was more than 3 months ago. of coz because of you pressuring me to update, thats why i am here spending my precious moment to update this just for you. =) i just have been busy with mainly work since the economy and financial market have been going downhill. i am not sure if i should be glad to have a full time decent job or i should be sad to be working in a financial institution during this time of the recession. although my bank is one of the most strongest, more stable and having large volume of customers, every bank is in a "slim down" mode--to cut extra costs, to eliminate positions, laying off, and already letting some senior management level of executives out already. it is glad to be working with one of the few banks that is still strongly surviving, putting more confidence to my job, and conviencing customers while building stronger relationship with the current customers. however, i don't see the economy getting better in any time soon. in matter of school, i am going to take two more classes, perhaps getting another concentration.
flashing back for this year, it has been a rollarcoaster adventure, up and down, promotions are good, but the process are challenging and lessons are learned with pricy memories. sometimes i wonder that if i am still just a supervisor, or just a teller, how easy my job can be. i dont have to carry the responsibility, the goal, and of coz idot bosses on top of me, pushing me to do this and that, taking all the awards and job-well-done complememnts, leaving me with blames and faults. or a boss that didn't know how to do her job. she was promoted from a supervisor in a bigger store. disappointed from her actions, told us what to do in situation, not trusting us, and of coz, the most stupidest thing--playing favors to associates that doesnt do anything and can get around with it because they have a dick. you must think that hey thats works for me, but i am more to a lets get this done and working my tail off to reach the goal instead of just flirting with her and get around with it. also, i don;t think that she likes asian.
quite a lot of things for a year, especially with an idot brother for the last few months because he got a gf. i just don't understand that he acts like a immature more in college than he did in high school. remind me of the movie coming up describing a guy getting younger and younger, but my brother is getting immature more day by day. not getting a job when he needs to, not coming home when he should have, coming home late. lying over and over again after my parents told him, spoke with him, and even had many arguments with him. finally, he had a car acciedent, flipped his new car, claiming a total lost on his new car. he hit a parked car and flipped his car on 19th ave in sunset. he cried in the hospital, assuring that he will not make that mistake again, will come home on time, will drive carefully, and will be home and get enough rest. i thought that he learns from his painful experience, with everyone running for him after the accident. i guessed that he forgot what happened two weeks ago. i had to write a check to my parents to support the current towing fees, hospital fees, and other inconviences during the time. i asked myself why am i still supporting this idot. does it worth my time and energy to think for him when parents are not tightened up on him. i don't know why. i don't know why.
anyways thats too long for additional info, will update later on. merry christmas folks.

| today is my last day working in this location of banking center and also my last day as a sales and service specialist. on monday i will be the assistant manager for another branch a few blocks away from my old branch where it gave me tears, laughs, learning from just a new teller, worried about passing the probation and extended probation. Then promoted to senior teller, and moving quickly to sales and service specialist. two years in a banking center during sunny, windy, cloudy, rainy, and stormy days, running to other banking centers to help out during storm, helping other banking centers when they are short of help. the first reward and recognition from my market manager, till my raise in salary. through many mistakes and successful helping and handling customers' issue, problems and complains to receiving compliments from them and their smile and sincerely thank you. from having conflict with other co-worker to recognizing each others' good work; from passing the audit to failing it =( ; from driving our sales to 200% to lowered customer delight score; from the credit card champion to account opening champion; from saying goodbye to teammates until my teammates saying the last goodbye to me. all these years of smile and tears, angry at customers to appreciations by customers and my cash can that has been with me for two years, experiencing the same as i did. it all has come down to today. it is a goodbye day. a day to say goodbye. goodbye.
fast forwarding to next week, monday is my day off, tuesday is my offsite, and wednesday is my meeting with the market manager, and thursday is the assistant manager conference call, and friday is going to be busy!! for next week... thats whats going on.

| this is probably part of my life's changing point. today i went to interview for the assistant manager position in one of the nearby branches for bank of america, it was like two hours long including scenario coaching, and interview. at the end, i am the assistant manager in that branch. i am very happy to be the youngest assistant manager in the corporation. i am proud to be the youngest, and to be an assistant manager even though i still have three more classes before i graduate.
speaking of school, classes start tomorrow for me, and i am going to work full time, so i have to find time to deal with my school work. a full time job and full time school. i only see pain for the next four months. but new car, new cell phone, and new tv in my room thats coming along. =) hhehehe.
