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. You know..it wasn't like intimidating or quite welcoming. At the end of the...

The people who came up with this PlayPump idea are just genius. A lot of people say that they can create something out of nothing. But guess what, these guys can create something^2 out of nothing. Watch the video and you will understand what I am talking about.

Just read it from my friend's website: www.supachaimd.com MIT - http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/home/home/index.htm Stanford - http://stanfordocw.org/ Berkeley - http://webcast.berkeley.edu/index.php I just post this to remind myself when I start doing the distant learning at Chula with Dr. Mongkolchai.

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 ...

Two days ago, I wanted to drink a glass of milk tea. So I asked Mack, my little brother, if we have any tea bags around in our house. It happened that Mack is on the tea-drinking spree right now, which is quite funny for me. He made tea and asked everyone in the house if he or she wanted to drink it or not. Anyways, I drank his tea and wasn't bad at all. But here is the punch line. After I finished up my cup, Mack came and told me that he used sooo much sugar in his tea to make it tasted ok. Dang...how much calories did I consume that day.. Anyways, this post is quite random. I just wanted to learn about how to make Thai Iced Tea. You know the orange creamy drink that is so prevalent in the street of Bangkok. But guess what. For this drink to be in America, it was the favorite of many people who went to the Thai restaurants. I guess that more than 50% of the people at the Thai restaurants ordered this drink. So I did the research on how to make this drink and you can check it ou...

Squidoo.com is a pretty cool website. It allows me to set up a new website with just a simple click. It consists of many modules that you can just add to your site, including text module, flickr module, poll module, and many many other great modules.  I created a 'len' (that how squidoo people call their site) about Eat Sense Restaurant. Check it out at http://www.squidoo.com/eatsense   Thanks!

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they have been given than to explore the power they have to change it.  Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.  IMPOSSIBLE is NOTHING! Go and do whatever you dream of and do not scare to fail!
