My first day at SFU Surrey was eventful. The campus back in 2004 was situated at the end of the Central City Mall. It was referred to as the "beta place", which made sense because we will be moving to our new campus in 2007. To be honest, I wasn't impressed with how it looked from the outside. It was a small campus. In fact, I was able to walk around the entire campus in merely five minutes. In the mean time, I am hearing from my friends out at Queen's and UBC, enjoying their views and their daily strolls on campus. Sure I was jealous, but I was determined to make this a positive experience for me. I later realized that it was with this optimistic mind that enabled me to go through a lot of obstacles that I would eventually be facing.
The TechOne Program was truly unique by all measures. It was an inter-discipinary program designed to allow students to try out different fields in a relatively short of time (two semesters). I took classes in Interactive Arts, Teamwork and Communication, and Computer Programming. To my surprise, I did quite well in these courses. This gave me some confidence on my ability to do well in school. Besides from the core courses that TechOne required me to take, I took Financial Accounting and also Micro/Macro Economics. I must admit I wasn't quite sure on what path I would pursue. Thus, I based my judgement on courses by focusing on the strengths that SFU is well known for - its Faculty of Business Administration.
Several things occurred to me during this time period. First, I did exceptionally well in Financial Accounting and in my Economics courses. To me, it seemed as if I am more of a commerce type person rather than an engineer. I would rather spend time on figuring out the marginal utility and journal entries than on memorizing formulas or spending my life being a code monkey. Having said that, I would later regret that I never really challenged myself in the field of engineering. I attribute my lack of superior critical thinking back to not going through the engineering program. Nevertheless, I found tremendous joy and passion in the study of business organization and strategy and I was, for the longest time, content with my decision.
Another thing that cheered me up was that my application to become an Orientation Leader (OL) had gone through. Ever since my first orientation at SFU, I've always thought about contributing back to this program and making it better than before. My chance came when the annual application for OL came out. I applied and aced my interview. The interviewer, also the Student Life Coordinator, at the time, was impressied with my energy. Thinking back, I think this was the beginning of everything that I would eventually do. If I was not accepted as an OL, it will probably take me longer in figuring out my interest in volunteering and making a difference.
The 2005 Orientation came in a blink of eyes. I was assigned with another partner to lead a cohort of 25 new students. It was my first time representing SFU and the first time for the students to know about their campus. I was determined to make it a fun process for both me and the participants. I led ice breakers, gave a tour around the campus, fielded questions and had a great time making small talks with almost every individual within my group. Till now, we all share some kind of bonding of being Clan H even though we didn't take the same courses.
I would later receive very positive feedback from the student life coordinator regarding my performance. For one part, I made a name for myself for being actively participating in campus events. Most importantly, however, I gained some confidence about my ability outside of academics. These skills that I've obtained are what I would later found out to be referred as "leadership", "teamwork", and "communication" skills in the so-called real world.

My Audacity of Hope (2) - My Past
As I begin my journey in the search for a co-op job, I begin to realize that a lot of things taught in school have nothing to do with what the employers are looking for. Sure, GPA matters, however, the difference between a B+ average and an A average does not affect whether or not you will succeed in securing a job. I realize that what you need to succeed, in this society, is far more than the skills you obtained by aceing the exams in school.
Again, I felt I was lucky. As I sift through the job requirements, terms like "leadership", "teamwork", "interpersonal skills" quickly popped into my eyes. These are the skills that I have always valued and tried to build myself around with.
I recall when I first started at SFU, the theme of the Orientation for that year is "Start a Journey, and Leave a Legacy". I thought to myself, "Wow, what a tag line... I will never come close to leaving a legacy."
Looking back, I was an insecure young man. Coming out from high school, with transcript full of C's and B's, doesn't help to boost my confidence either. I paid little attention to school. It got to a point that my math teacher actually referred to me in class as the "trash that will eventually go down the drain." The fact is, I didn't care much about "education". To me, learning physics and math, are, if to state bluntly, useless. However, I didn't go out to party either. Instead, I spent time in the library, reading through biographies on famous figures such as Winston Churchill, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, John Kennedy, Michael Jordan and, to many who didn't know until later and found quite surprised by my knowledge of, Chinese history.
I spent my high school life studying all sorts of things that were not valued by the traditional education system. I became really good at basketball, at skipping classes, at barely passing exam without studying and at organizing social outings. I also had my first relationship. To me, however, it was just like being a kid in a candy store, choosing what he wants and rejecting the treats that didn't appeal to him.
It was not until later, when I am in university, that I found I learned far more through experiencing all these things than my peers who hit the books like its their bible. Till this day, I think I mastered the art of essay writing through reading speeches made by Winston Churchill. I learned not to make mistake like the emperors in Chinese history who made decisions solely on gut instincts without making a full evaluation of the situation. I learned to appreciate life and love, and most importantly, the need to be persistant and determined in pursuing the things I want. After all, it took Michael Jordan seven years to get his first championship ring and it took Bill Gates the courage to drop out of Harvard to start Microsoft.
After 12 years of structured education, I was excited to embark on my journey in university. I can finally choose the courses I am interested in. However, my high school grades didn't allow me to have much options. I was enrolled into the TechOne Program at SFU Surrey, simply because the admission office had no where else to place me. So, as my fellow friends, whom by all accounts, are well educated and gifted, eagerly awaits for their first year to start, I found myself nervously anticipating a program that I had no idea about until the day I received my admission letter.

My Audacity of Hope (1) - The Start of Something Big
Ever since we were in elementary school, one of the many usual topics that we come across is: "What is your dream?"
Remember the times when teachers and parents, leaning over you, eagerly looking for the next word that you would put down on paper. To them, you are their dream.
A friend of mine accepted a job in New York a while ago. It is a prestigious investment banking firm. He worked hard at it, first graduating from SFU, then went on to Berekley for gradute school. A pure mathmatician and business man at heart I had no doubt that he will succeed in everything he does. His dream is to create financial instruments that will bring wealth to people and to the firm. Through his love of numbers, he want to devise financial products that can change how money works. Essentially,he aimed to be part of the Wall Street.
When asked about his schedule, he said 16 hours a day is the usual, plus the frequent regular hours of ten on Saturdays. Faced with such a grueling schedule, he never faltered. He enjoys coming to work and living his dream every day.
My dreams have always been changing. When I was a first year freshman at SFU, I dreamed of building a student organization that will provide students with the resources they need to succeed as business students. Thus, I co-founded the SFU Surrey Business Student Association with a friend of mine. We had lots of fun running the show, although, looking back, I lacked of great organizational skill and leadership. At the time though, missing these skills didn't mean much to me. I acted with passion and determination. We single handedly convinced the Faculty to assign us, for what I later found out, an unlimited club budget. For the first time in my life, I thought, "hey, maybe, if I dreamed enough, something would eventually come true."
Then, my dream changed. I wanted to become a teaching assistant. Seeing 4th year students up on stage, giving us tutorials, really lit up my eyes. From that day on, I dreamed about what I would do if I become a TA, how I would conduct my tutorials, hold my office hours, and what kind of a mentor/TA I would become. Then, either by chance or luck, I was selected to become a teaching assistant by my Professor. At the time, I was hired as the youngest TA in the history of SFU. To be honest, I was very proud of my accomplishments. I quickly drew up how I am going to teach and interact with students.
My dream quickly met its challenge. I was just going into my second year and my students are essentially just one year younger than me. Some of them are even older than I am. I remember how I would always avodi telling them my year because I was afraid of losing respect from them. Then at the end of the semester, my fear was removed. A student came up to me and told me that I had inspired him to work hard and be someone like me. I was truly honored. For the first timein my life, I felt my responsibility increased. I had students looking up to me, watching and learnng from everything that I do and display. As time passed, I became really good at what I do. I would joke around with students and cheer them up in the midst of midterms and finals. I learned how to improvise on the spot and how to communicate in a way that would allow thiry students to understand what I am trying to explain in my first attempt.
I went on to become the first TA in the Faculty of Business to be ranked #1 by students three times in a row. I am grateful, because I know full well that I was just lucky to be assigned with such talented students. I thank my professor for trusting in my ability when I was just a second year. She saw my potential way before I did. Even after she left her job at SFU and went on to become the Head of Faculty at another university, we remained friends till now.
Teaching was a lot of fun and I truly enjoyed every bit of it. However, life got bored again and I started dreaming. In my third year, my peers started looking for co-op jobs. I thought, "what the heck, might as well get some cash in summer." Then I started looking in the job posting. Most of the jobs are in industry and provided, in my mind, minimal learning opportunity. Money has never been a factor to me and I thank my parents on that. So, when I was focusing on choosing jobs, I looked for one that would stretch me as an individual.

CODE BLUE
夏天日劇之中我蠻喜歡Yama P, 新垣結衣和戸田恵梨香主演的
CODE BLUE (コード・ブルー～ドクターヘリ緊急救命～)。
我一直沒有看過醫生護士的電視劇，
腦海中浮現的手術鏡頭一點也不吸引，
無論把斯手術的醫生拍得多麽的帥多麽的超脫也好，
心中只覺得很恐怖。
我知道電視劇不會播放太血腥的鏡頭，但是光想起來就沒有看的意欲。
這次打破慣例當然爲了看結衣和恵梨香。
CODE BLUE當中雖然每一集也有手術和突發的醫療事故，
但是編劇沒有把所有的焦點也放在手術場面内，
也有花時間描述四位年輕的實習醫生爭取成爲Heli-doctor的過程，
並加入了戲劇的元素。
山下飾演的藍沢冷靜，果斷，聰明和理智，
卻顯得有點不近人情，有時候還會冒險做出判斷；
白石則是出身于醫學世家，醫學知識豐富，
但是缺乏臨場的經驗，面對緊急境況的時候往往不知所措；
緋山本身具備了做手術的條件和技術，只是信心不足，
需要有經驗的外科醫生的指導才敢行動。
藤川就...
其實醫生和從事金融行業的專業人士很相似，
在高壓力，不允許半點出錯下的環境工作。
我是主修金融，會計的，看這部劇的時候就會聯想到我自己在這樣的環境中的表現會更像誰，還是連公司的門口也不能進去?
我是否有藍沢的冷靜，理智，聰明，白石的知識，和緋山的技術?
我是不是真的適合進入這個行業，
還是在浪費我的時間在自己沒有興趣的地方上?
一連串的疑問湧上心頭。
看着藤川雖然上Heli無望但依然繼續努力的樣子，
我是否連成功的決心也缺乏呢?

ON THE ROAD
這兩個星期的旅行讓我突然對家的定義感到模糊。
老實說，我很享受這種在路上飄泊的感覺，
去了很多地方，認識了很多不同的人，環境不斷的在改變。
“家”就是在HOSTEL的那張雙人床的下鋪，或在朋友家的那張沙發床。
有這種感覺是因爲我對我自己的家的歸屬感不夠深，所以動搖了？
或者我把自己的家也只看作是一張床？
最近突然想再躺躺那張熟悉的床和看看那些熟悉的臉。

三心二意
一個人的心會同時喜歡上兩個人嗎?
一開始喜歡上她是因為她成熟體貼.
不論和她聊什麼, 她都會很有耐心的聽我說,
並且會給予她自己的意見.
她是一位很好的傾聽者,
當我煩惱的時候, 和她出去, 說說話,
整個人都會變得輕鬆很多.
和她在一起很快樂, 很平穩,
感覺幸福就始終一直在我身邊.
她是一位可以讓我看到未來的人.
我對另一個她
一開始沒有什麼感覺,
但是因為工作的關係, 朝夕相處, 慢慢的,
有點會去在乎她.
她的個性很倔強,
是一位得理不饒人的女性.
有時候, 她會和我談論她男朋友的事,
聽著聽著, 覺得她又很像一位不懂事的小女孩.
習慣每天早上看到她沒睡醒的臉,
匆匆忙忙的從屋子裡走出來,
手上拿著還沒吃完的早餐,
很隨意的對我說聲早.
上班的時候,
會不經意的出口成髒,
有時候也會很搞笑的做出一些令人費思索疑的表情.
對於這樣的她, 我真的哭笑不得.
讀過金庸倚天屠龍記裡所寫的一段話,
現在回想起來, 覺得心有戚戚焉.
趙敏微笑道：那你心中對我愛的多些，是不是？
張無忌道：老實跟你說吧，我對你是又愛又恨，對芷若是又敬又怕。
誰是我心中的趙敏和周芷若, 恐怕只有時間才能夠證明.

CHANGE第十集完結篇
終於等到了CHANGE最後一集.
心中真的是感觸良多.
從第一集一路走來, 朝倉啟太(木村拓哉)一直保持他勇往直前遇挫愈勇的態度.
雖然最後面臨到黨閣的賄賂醜聞, 逼的責任心強的他不得不下台,
但是導演還是做了一個很完美的交代.
一個很符合朝倉啟太的結局.
長達一個半鐘頭的最後一集,
割劃出作者對日本未來的期許.
最近華爾街日報, 也針對木村拓哉這部新戲所扮演的角色和現在日本總理比較.
以下是摘取自這篇報導的一小片段:
"In the hot new Japanese TV drama "Change," Prime Minister Keita Asakura is a dynamic 35-year-old with charisma. He nixes pork-barrel construction projects in favor of more money for child care. After a deadly storm hits, Mr. Asakura rushes to the scene, barking orders to bungling bureaucrats. And he stands up to the U.S. in agriculture trade talks. "I have the responsibility to protect the Japanese people," Mr. Asakura tells enthralled voters. "I am one of you."
看來老外還是很有眼光的!
整部戲看下來, 木村的演技還是沒話說.
最後這集長達22分鐘的演說,
從愉快的開頭到中間痛哭流涕
到後來充滿信心的對人民的喊話,
木村的表現真是可圈可點.
不過我覺得, 美山(深津繪里,Fukatsu Eri)的演技真的很搶眼.
說CHANGE整部是靠她獨力撐著也不為過.
個人覺得她是我看過無數多日劇裡最欣賞的女主角.
不僅做事起來有條有理, 也會在木村低落的時候, 在旁邊鼓勵他.
雖然時而嚴肅, 但還是會帶著點絲絲的可愛和青澀.
如果現實上有這麼一位這樣的人,
我想我也會被她深深的吸引吧.
就像木村拓哉說的一樣, "誰不想要和這麼有魅力的女性談戀愛?"
最後一集木村終於表白了.
出乎意料不是用他以往擅長的歪嘴偷笑酷酷的說我喜歡妳,
而是整個人轉了一百八十度,
向美山說...
"我希望妳留在我身邊"
"我不是已經在了嗎?"
"不, 我希望妳永遠待在我身邊"
這時, 美山的回答真是超經典.
她說 "好....我的夢想已經實現了."
如果某人可以愛我到覺得在一起就是她的夢想的話,
我應該會感動到哭吧.
最後, 要向木村拓哉說聲謝謝!
看完這部日劇, 對於自己往後對工作和人生的態度,
有了個良好的模範.
希望自己也能和朝倉啟太一樣, 用自己的雙手,
勤奮的工作, 然後用自己的力量, 讓社會變的更好.
說不定, 哪天, 我真的會去競選市議員呢!
