Time to sell a Camry

The time has come to sell my car. Its sad. This camry served me well, saves gas, and gave me 0 problems. Well, except for being locked out a couple of times. Its the 1st car that i drove my parents around in, and also the 1st car that i drove my fiancee in. Plenty of memories....nostalgic...

I have all paperwork, receipts and manuals with me. It will be handed over to the new owner.


Finally, some things about my driving:
- I am a careful and patient driver. I accelerate gently, and have not accelerated the engine past 3000RPM before! Because of that, i have also never found the need to jam my brakes hard. I love this car, and do not stinge on the servicing. Its engine oil change every 3000miles and even done a flushing of the coolant from the radiator. Only Chevron gas goes into the fuel tank, and no Arco.

- Like every used car, there are bound to be some scratches and small dents along the way, which was left by the previous owner. As long as the engine is running great, the exterior did not really matter much to me. Reliability and durability is what i go for.


I love this great car, but i have to sell it. May the highest bidder get it! Email/Call me 408-3686099.

Resignation.

After delaying for months, i finally submitted my resignation to my 3 bosses. It has been a eventful 1 year and 10 months in Excelics. My emotions had been strongly coupled to the ups and downs of the company, and gone through emotional roller-coasters. It is a good experience, and i have emerged stronger, more resilient to the dynamics of a start-up.

Submitting my resignation left me lost in my cube. Struck with millions of thoughts in my mind, and several different emotions in my heart, i just stared at my blank LCD screen for awhile.

But like i said, i have emerged stronger. That only lasted for half hour. Ahh...peace.

NewYork NewYork!---Manhattan...

Manhattan has certainly opened my eyes to another dimension. I admire her for her diversity. Being the home for many Chinese, Indians, Jewish, Italians, French,.... and of course, Americans.

It is happening! Pace of life is phenomenal. People here are constantly on the go, but yet helpful and thoughtful to one another.

The place where all the money moves...the NYSE



The original Phantom of the opera, at Broadway...

The beautiful Skyline of Manhattan...

And finally the Statue of Liberty...

Well, im not going to post pictures of my entire trip. But this post consolidates the 1st 4 days in New York-Manhattan.

This is soooo Manhattan! Diverse, Open and Bold!
