Do I need internet? Shaw cable prom price jumped up to more than double after half year promp price. I called them and try to negotiate the price and did not succeed. I was really disappointed and canceled their service right away. went with a different company instead, much cheaper price. Shaw treated me like i had no other options.
but, Do I need internet? that's the question I start thinking of. 20 years ago, i would spend time on my super slow computer and using internet through phone cable. my mom used to complaint all the time about how she cannot call in. nowadays, internet is so convenient that you can talk to pretty anyone on the world any time you want. Information is so accessible, world is so small yet big.

happy v day
前几天同事一直和我吐槽，主要还是relationship，看她那么down，我只好鼓励她。 我其实也是表面上开心，有时候自己会一个人不开心，但也不想表现给同事看，没有人会同情你，个人生活本来就是要自己安排好的。没有人可以帮你。
今天valentine's day，想起了以前自己经历过的一些事，似乎还是自卑的，更多的时候可以为了别人着想，而没有了自己的原则，到头来痛苦的还是自己。父母的婚姻不是完美的，让我对婚姻有恐惧。从好的一面来看，其实也是很好的借鉴，是否可以互相信任，是否可以在金钱上坦诚，是否有共同目标，是否可以一起成长。
在自我表达上也有待提高。say what you really mean.
overall，还是在慢慢的成长的，you are doing great, Jamie! keep growing! you will meet your Mr. Right one day! :) Happy V Day! I want to spend next year's V Day with someone!

keep learning
every time i talk to my supervisor about some technical problems, i notice there is a huge knowledge gap. it makes me think am i really getting what engineering is? or is this really for me? if i understand something, would it be like an instant thing? or would it actually takes time and efforts?

2016 invest in myself
2016 goal: Invest in myself
learn something new, get new experience, invest in myself, family, and friends. build up strong relationships. friends do not need to be perfect, accept who they are and help them when they need.
health and happiness
health needs consistent exercises, it doesn't need to be hard and intense. small steps at once, it will build up.

Namibia travel journey
revisited this travel journey I wrote when I was in Niambia. some were not complete. i will leave them as they are .
__________________________________________________
Vancouver to London to Johannesburg to Windhoek
24 hrs day time, three planes, enough to make me sick of chicken
After all these, finally get to Namibia. First morNing in Namibia, birds singing and busy building nests, don't see that too often anymore.
First time in africa, first time in south atmosphere, first time travelling solo.
Enjoy it when it lasts.
A french lady from swiss land, booked a trip a few years ago with her husband but he died before the trip. Then she booked with her friend for this year and he also died. She decided to come to the trip on her own. Life is too short to enjoy.
Oryx meat
Aug 30, 2015 etotha national park
Open game drive, saw lions, elephants, zebra, giraffes, Oryx, Rhino, oschrid, lots of Springboks, different kinds of birds.
Giraffes have pretty big and pure eyes, elephants are stupid cute, lions are the kings of safari.

Saw some pretty red chest birds and a white head bird caught delicious insects for breakfast before we leave etosha park, very happy with that.
There are some clouds today, they all look like animals to me now 😄. Animal mood
Sep 1
Pelican, dolphins, whale, seals
Heard lions roaring, Atlantic ocean, saw millions of stars,
Sep 2
从swoamp出发去walvis bay 的路上，一边是沙漠，一边是大西洋 还看到了Flamingo, 脑袋呆在沼泽里，两条细长的腿忙着刨土找吃的，就像是在跳芭蕾舞，可爱至极。
Sep 3
Sossusvlei dunes, sesriem canyon
Climbed up the breathtaking Dune 45, it was so windy and i felt like i could be blew away anytime, got sand all over my face, but i did it, keep encouraging myself, set a goal and go for it.
I read a story about a lady could not finish swimming across some ocean because it was cloudy and she could not see where she is going. She gave up about half a mile away from yhe destination. I know exactly how she feels the moment i saw where my destination is - on top of the Dune, slowly but surely, moving ahead.
Milky way, have never seen so many stars in my life, tons and tons stars, amazing beautiful, first time seeing my own Scorpio stars, head, two claws, body with a long tail.
Got three stones from Canyon, one with layers of granite in it, harry says bring it home, will bring good luck.
Sep 4
On the way to fish river Canyon
Cliff taught me some basic photography techniques, shutter speed, aperture, ISO. Three items allow different amout of light to come through, therefore bringing out various focuses.
Cook island
Bolivia
Sep 5
Canoeing
The two kind couples came and tied my boat to theirs and it made my canoeing much easier.
Sep 6
Someone with a life dream is very attractive.
Sep 8
You have no reason not to be confident. You ve completed University degree in four years, have a good job, very patient, flew half a world to travel on your own, not that many ppl have done that. Be proud of yourself be confident with yourself. Nothing is perfect and it's ok to be not perfect.

老爸
2015.09.08.
老爸，
今天是培训的第一天，老师讲到人都是戴着面具的。让我想到一件小时候发生过的事，我一直耿耿于怀，但你应该不记得了，有一次你喝多了，应该是你接管经贸学校以后没多久，因为你是当上校长以后才开始喝好多好多酒的，你回到家，要看电视，我正在做作业，觉得电视很烦，就把电视给关了，也许你正好心情也不是很好，上来就打了我一巴掌。我当时没有哭，只是从那以后便记住了唯一一次被打。
再后来就是你和老妈的吵架打架，老妈生病时你的冷漠，你们的争执，让我不明白为什么这么不开心的两个人还要在一起。是因为在一起开心更多吗？本来我觉得我应该是从你那里学到男人在家庭的角色，丈夫，父亲，可是我看到是老妈上班以后下班做饭，你上班以后下班很晚才回到家，而且大部分时候是喝醉了倒头就睡，有时候还会吐的一塌糊涂。可能钱是挣的多了，但我觉得我们一家三个人每个人都带着一个面具，在努力的向别人展示我们的“幸福”。
其实我小时候脾气很倔，别人说什么，我有时候偏反着来，是因为习惯了大家都顺着我吧。
我也不太清楚我想写什么，只想和你说，谢谢老爸小时候牵着我走路，载着我去上学，辛苦挣钱养家，我很怀念那些时光。一个好父亲就是一直会为了家承担责任。
