A week from today, I'll be off to the lovely state of California! I'll be giving a talk at a four-day science conference in San Jose. I wish I can say I'm completely excited (I've never been to California before), but I'm a little bit nervous. I haven't given a serious talk since graduate school, so this is kinda nerve-wracking. Imagine giving a presentation to dozens of strangers! Plus, this is a business trip - I'll be traveling with my boss and I'm pretty sure we'd spend almost all our time at the conference hall, listening to other speakers and meeting future suppliers and customers.
But... I'm very happy and proud that my work have been acknowledged. It's times like this that makes all the harwork worthwhile.
And of course, since I'd already be there, I wouldn't miss the oppurtunity to see my childhood bestfriend, who I haven't seen in 19 years! We were practically kids when we've last seen each other. We've been talking of meeting up for several years now, but it has never materialized. Now, we can, and I'm very excited about it.
So California, here I come!

I hope you'll like the state as much as I did for the 9 years that I lived there. San Jose, in particular, might be a little cloudy and mist-y but when it's sunny and clear, you can enjoy beach-y breeze if you are near the coast.
Good luck!
