My first day of work went pretty smoothly. The day started with many logistics I need to learn about being a lecturer at the university. I have a shared office with, believe it or not, my old friend back in junior-high and high school. My friend graduated from this department, went to work at LEK consulting firm for 2 years, and joined the faculty of Commerce and Accountancy recently. Dr. Pasu Decharin (http://www.pasuonline.net) is my advisor who will be guiding me through this transition. He is pretty nice and very helpful. The first task that he suggested I should be working at is writing an article for Chula magazine. The topic should be related to entrepreneurial stuff. Hm...any ideas or suggestions? Dr. Pasu had arranged the 'welcoming lunch' for us, the new lecturers', (so nice of him). We had lunch and talked in many topics, some were gossips, some were serious stuff. I kinna enjoyed it.

Finally, the day has come. I have been living my life randomly for two months. A life without an aim or a focus, a life that I go to bed at 2am and wake up at 11am will end tomorrow. I am very glad about that. Actually, to say that I have been living without an aim or a focus may be a bit exaggerated. I have been trying hard, thinking hard about what I want to do or what I can do in Thailand. For the past two months, there were many projects came by to my head and kept me busy. None of them seem to be taking off yet, too few clients or the idea was just too outrageous. I am still learning about Thai society and see where I can apply my knowledge. The playing ground here is quite different than the one I had played back in Silicon Valley. I made one friend today through my friend. He is a doctor at Siriraj hospital. After talking to him, I am quite impressed how much he knows about IT and computer. An incredible guy. He has a lot of entrepreneurial spirits. We discussed many ideas ...
