Case study: My twin bed mattress purchased in 2010

Dec. 8, 2018

Introduction

It was most difficult time for me to adapt the new life in the city of Vancouver in 2000. I did not have a lot of savings in my bank account, and also I had a debt in my USA condo. I found a small home with the help from Florida, I was on road trip to Yosemite national park with my friend, 14 days road trip from Florida to Vancouver. I got a call from Florida and my friend told me that there is a home for me in the city of Vancouver. I like to write a blog about my twin bed mattress purchase in 2010.

Case study

I like to have a mattress so that I could sleep better. I found one on Vansky.com and it took me $20.00 dollars. I drove to the city of Richmond and got the mattress, and then I put in the trunk of my Ford Explorer. I got it and used it since then.

At that time, I stayed at home and looked for a full time from April to June 2010. I was paying a lot out to my car insurance, rent fee, food, and I did not know where was my future job. I made a purchase the old used mattress by a Chinese family.

Actionable Items

I still remembered that the day my landlord helped me to move the mattress off the truck.

I got citibank statements from 2010 April to December. I like to share the citi bank statement and track how much I spent on the first few months.

2010 Buntzen lake hiking trip

April 7, 2018

Introduction

It is such a fascinating world. I had such great time in Florida from 1996 to 2010, I always stayed near Florida Atlantic University campus, so I worked on my computer science PH.D. study from 2001 to 2010, so I hanged out with Ph.D. students and scholars all the time. I landed to Canada in April 18, 2010. At that time, I did not have a job waiting for me, I just landed as a permanent resident.

In May 24, 2018, after one month I landed in Vancouver, looking for a software programmer job in the city of Vancouver. I was invited to go out hiking with my Shanghai Jiaotong university's classmate Zhuang and her family.

First time challenge

I used to stay in Florida all the time. So it is so surprising that I had difficult time to do hiking trip with a group of 20 people. So amazing, I experienced the joy and nature beauty of Canada and people I started to get to know.

At that time, I only had two Shanghai Jiaotong university graduates I knew working in the city of Vancouver.

Instagram photos

I like to post some photos for the hiking trip. And also one video.

I like to take some break and think about how important it is to enjoy a Saturday, hold on my plan to work on mock interview, algorithm problem solving, pluralsight.com course responsive website etc.

One video - I like my voice

I talked to my roommate Emma and she said that my voice is not aging at all. I like my voice. Here is the video I recorded at the top of mountain with my friend Zhuang and all other families. I missed the fun.
