saying something about changes and learning

2010-06-11T21:21:00.000-07:00

(Waa. . . what kind of wind that puffed me out to start a new post?!)Anyway, it feels like I started a new life here in abroad. So many changes, of course, one of those is the environment (so nice to experience the calm cold nights here in Hiroshima during winter); second the people, i always wonder why there are so many Japanese here in Japan (LOL); the language, the biggest barrier which makes

Quite busy...

2009-11-10T05:26:00.000-08:00

It has been quite long since i had my last post. I became more busy to other sites and ignored my personal blog here. I was just recently introduced to one social networking site and i find it interesting. Compare to the other social networking sites i am in to, that site is more interactive and flexible.

My First Two Months in Abroad

2009-08-30T03:40:00.001-07:00

If you stroll the along sidewalks of Hiroshima and maybe in other places in Japan, you will observe a usually colored yellow pavement or lane/line in center. It is the safety line intended for the blind. They call it "truncated dome" or tiny bumper/tiny humps. The bricks are slightly elevated and loosely arranged so that the surface becomes irregular and can be easily noticed. See pictures:http:/

Evaluating a Research

2008-07-17T01:10:00.000-07:00

Every other step in our work are structurally criticized and evaluated. Making research is not easy, we risk time and effort. That is why we need to think a hundred times first and plan.In my own opinion, one of the
