嗯,之前看到有關特戰官不跳傘的新聞
讓我想起了自己的情形...
其實我在營區內遇到的人,撇掉幹部不說
只要是大頭兵,無論志願役或義務役
跳傘都是他們自由選擇的結果,出於自願
但是士官以上的幹部就不同了
志願役的幹部,是不是都是自願去跳傘,我不是很清楚
但是義務役的話,應該都是抽籤分到傘兵單位的
我想義務役自願到傘兵單位的機率可能不高吧
如果是自願到傘兵單位的話,可能也是外離島或花東地區
在本島來我們那營區受傘訓的義務役幹部,我沒遇過是自願的
因此,義務役幹部們分到了傘兵部隊,就要想著要不要跳傘了
理論上是要跳的,但是這個程序是有瑕疵的
因為從沒人詢問過你要不要當傘兵
就好比阿兵哥可以選擇不當傘兵一樣
義務役的幹部們應該也可以自我選擇
只是這樣子的話,傘兵部隊的幹部可能會短少吧
所以這麼久以來,這個程序上的問題一直存在
其實跳不跳傘不是判別英雄的依據
就好比不是沒當過兵就不是男人
如果上述成立,那世界上大多數男人都不是男人了
其實當兵是學著把一個階段的事好好做好
不管個人因素是怎樣,就是把這一階段的事好好做好
這樣一來,這個經驗會對你人生的下一個階段有幫助
這是我自己的一點感想

So shocked
The world has been different now.
The financial centennial crisis is growng and spreading rapidly. 3 or 4 from traditional 5 American Investment Banking magnates are suffering severely.
Oil is still hiking,without signs of stopping or slowing down. It seems like all human beings are going to live with high inflation for a long time.
I had felt the world changed day by day or even hour by hour after reading economic and finacial newspapers in my college time. Not a daily reader of those media,I read only twice or three times a week,and I felt nervous about the world I would someday face and live in.
Now that Lehmen Brothers is down,Bear Stearns taken by Fed,and AIG stumbles and looks for help,this Autumn opened with market volatility and uncertainty,and is full of bad news. It seems like not good for a new comer to join the finacial work place now.
Hope that all tumultuous and economic woes would turn out be safe after a variety of rescues, and eventually pave way for better and more stable financial orders.
記的當我旅遊回國時,在飛機上看到報紙,心裡實在有夠震驚的!
雷曼垮台,AIG搖搖欲墜,美國傳統幾大投資銀行都快變成落水狗,
這些消息真是深深衝擊金融圈.
今早最新消息是Morgan Stanley將被日本的銀行買下最多20%
股權,而高盛也可能維持不了獨立劵商的地位,將轉型為商業銀行.
做為一個即將進銀行工作的社會新鮮人,雖然只是做基層的工作,
但這些消息實在很糟糕,加上自己未來的公司業務虧損,踩到了很
多次貸跟雷曼地雷,今年獲利可能大減. 但是不論如何,希望在這
些事情後,金融界可以重新整頓並更強健,否則歷史只會不斷重複.

芝城地鐵/捷運(一) Chicago Rapid Transit
這趟去芝加哥,我第一個驚訝的就是地鐵
或者稱,芝加哥捷運
因為芝加哥的地鐵並不是全在地下
而且也不是全部都高架化
當地人俗稱它為"L"或 "EL"
我忘了,記的不是很清楚...
不過聽說是100年前就有了
旅途期間,每次看到這種車站跟架構
都會覺得很神奇
在台灣,地鐵車站由水泥跟鋼筋建成
在芝加哥,部份車站卻只是木頭跟鐵架組成
連車子開在軌道上,都有一種奇妙的感覺
感覺建築的元素不多,可是頗有味道
看起來很簡單,可是可以順利疏送旅客
大部分的轉接是在路普區(LOOP)或其他車站如Jackson
我雖然有稍微被搞混了一下
但是仔細研究一下,轉乘各線也是相當便利的
可能最大的缺點是列車行進的噪音太大了吧
在週末假日則可能會維修,部分路段停駛或改路線
我很幸運的遇到了...
大致上來說,搭the L玩芝加哥是很方便的
我靠它在幾天內就跑了好多景點 !
未完待續 to be continued...

Yes,I winged a lot !
The trip to Chicago was great, Jenny helped me a lot.
But there's still something to regret for.
For example,it was a pity I had not taken a water taxi
tour when the day I left for Taiwan. I planned that
trip on a night and woke up next morning to find out it was a rainy day.
Northwestern University is another spot I want to visit.
Evanston looked great from my tourbook.
The trips to the two spots mentioned above were cancelled partly
because of the rain.But, don't worry! I think I just leave them
for my next trip to Chicago, so I'll have something to look at
next time!
I'm thinking about next trip abroad now! It seems like cool to
spend my 2009 new year holidays in Japan.
And this idea was from my college times when I said
"Hey! How about celebrating the coming of a new year in Japan? "
to a friend who was so close to me.
The visa I have from the U.S. government grants me a 5-year time
span of traveling back and forth between the States and Taiwan.
Next time I might visit New York,maybe watch a Yankees baseball
game in their new stadium and stay in central park for an beautiful
afternoon. And I may invite Jenny to visit with me,since she said
she has never been to N.Y.
The only thing I'll have to worry about is my job.
I might have long days off only during the chinese new year holidays. And it's not good for me who is with tickets requiring stand-by before boarding a plane.
But,it'll come up with solutions anyway. If you really want to do that! Whatever the boat floats! (Or whatever floats your boat ? Hope I don't remember it incorrectly! )

體檢
今天發生的事其實很熟悉,不過不是好事
今天去做體檢,在量血壓時,竟然爆高
等休息一下,去照完X光回來後,重新測一遍
居然更高!! 而且是有坐下來先休息3~4分鐘的
天啊,我真害怕,護士這時叫我再做一次
這是第三次量,跟第二次差不到10秒吧
手拿出來,再放進去血壓器,最多差15秒好了
結果居然就合格了,跟第二次量差20幾個單位!
後來去服務台再量2次
都在合格範圍,數值跟第三次的差不多
其實我也怕自己身體有問題
之前量血壓也有類似問題,不過那次是大一了
那次血壓數值不穩,可能是量之前有小跑步
那這次呢??
大概我太晚睡了吧,最近一個月都熬夜到很晚才睡
嗯,該是注意自己健康的時候了!

這個世界
這首歌是在軍中看莒光園地單元劇聽到的
歌詞內容蠻正面的,清柔但是鼓勵人心
當時聽到,加上那齣單元劇也是勵志型的
兩相配合,真的眼淚都快滴下來了
只記得我一直深呼吸,眨眼睛,強忍淚水...
五月天翻唱的版本! 原唱是蔡藍欽

I had a haircut
I had a haircut,and the barber shop is right in the subway complex.
It was cheap. For only 100 NT dollars (3.1 US dollars).
So now I look neat and clean,with only 2 cm of hair covering my head.
This haircut is for the weekend's interview at The Shanghai Commercial & Savings Bank,and I hope I will look good to gain an opportunity to enter a second-round interview.
By the way,the barber shop's name : QC 快客
It's cool to have a bright and clean place to have a haircut, and the barber (who's a girl) looked like a college classmate of mine.

等待中
沒意外,還是有關兆豐的事
8/9 去面試,原本我以為7~10天左右結果會出來
但是現在看起來,大概要1個月了
可能9/9附近結果才會公佈
不過搞不好明天就公佈了吧,一切都很難說
網路上已經有人收到通知信了
不過是沒有錄取的感謝函
這麼說來,兆豐還真看的起我,讓我進入第二階段的審查
原本我是很絕望的
不過不知道兆豐審查的過程是怎樣
預定錄取80人,推估有去參加面試者250人
未上的人先收到信函
但是我猜應該不是全部170人(250-80)都收到
我是想,應該是170中的一部份人先收到
再來是第二批沒上的會再收到
意思就是,現在沒收到的人,也不見得就會上
因為整個程序還沒完成,還有人要被淘汰
想一想,如果真的是這樣,兆豐還真狠啊
一關一關淘汰人,而且又讓晉級者產生希望
但是最後仍慘遭淘汰
在我慶幸自己沒有在第一階段審查就出局時
說不定沒上的感謝函明天就寄到家
讓一切的等待以遺憾告終...
還是其實信已經寄來了
只是被鄰居偷走了? 寄丟了?
還是根本忘了我這個人?
說要平常心,不要患得患失
還真是難!
