David Kuo (PMP, McGill)

除了馬上在考場打電話和老婆和四歲的女兒分享考上的消息和去一起考的夥伴們在台大旁的小吃店大吃一頓 以下和大家分享一下PMP對我的工作和人生上的幫助和改變!

在開始分享前，也和大家先分享我對證照的效益的期待和認知:

1. 證照不會讓你的薪水大漲 (所以 我考上後也沒和老闆報備或要求加薪)

考上PMP是一件說不出來的喜悅!

回想當時我在考場時在考試還剩下五分鐘時鼓起勇氣時按下"交考卷時"的按鈕，我發現心臟跳的很快! 因為在考試前有在網路上看過其他人的考試分享中所提到的"那一分多鐘的電腦在計算考試結果的等待時間的心情分享"，所以我對那時的"一分鐘的等待"的心情也特別深刻。

現在回想起那"一分鐘"過的還真的很漫長! 考試後的喜悅主要來自對自我的肯定和解脫。畢竟也離開大學一段時間了，對考試如果準備的技巧和讀書的方法(尤其是還要一邊工作)是有點不熟悉和某種面感到吃力。所以對一為三十多歲的我一天工作長達十二到十四個小時看到考試電腦上顯示著"PASS"時"，我的眼淚差點掉出來。當時甚至有想到要馬上ＣＡＬＬ我的太太和女兒還謝謝她們對我的支持和一路陪我念書所花的精神和時間。

After several months of decision, I think that I will not be hosting my own blog at my own server, because what is the point that there is no traffic and no one is reading it.

Well at the same time, I also need to pursuade myself to be consistent and dedicated in writting as now I just open this blog at one of the high traffic blog in Taiwan. In another words, no more excuses.

So what should I write about? Should I write in English or Chinese given the fact that most reader will probably prefer in reading the article in Chinese.

Here is list of topic suggestion:

 

On August 22, 2008 (Friday), CST (www.canadiansociety.org) Canada D'eh 2008 committee organized a "thank you" volunteer party for people who have helped out during and on the day of Canada D'eh 2008 held on June 28, 2008.

Thanks to CST's invitation to the CAT (www.cat-gogo.org) core-team members who have helped to bring nearly 300 people and organize the Tug&War and Volleyball event during the day. It was a great turn out where the most of the volunteers and the event organized committee came to the dinner and thanks for O'Ginny's kindness in giving us almost the whole venue for the night for our gathering.

Last week, I had an opportunity to treat myself at one of the most famous Japanese food restaurant in Taiwan called "Mitsui" or also known as "the 3 Wells" (三井日本料理) in Chinese. The restaurant is famous for its precision, freshness, and excellence in delivering the premium value both traditional and innovative Japanese cuisine.

My friend and I picked to dine at the Sushi bar, and had the opportunity to have one of the senior chief to prepare the food in front of us for our lovely dinner. (as you can see from the photos). It was definitely a wonderful experience as we have selected sea food to be base of our meal which was consisted of a variation from raw fish, crab, beef and even a soup! Of course finished the meal with the delicious must-have green tea ice cream!!
