Fry's Grand Opening

The 3rd Fry's in greater Houston is opening on Friday. Of course, it comes with a Grand Opening Sale. So don't expect to see me around on Friday. I'll be busy buying stuff in the morning and busy playing with my new toys in the afternoon.

A trip to Costco

I received a one-way pass to Costco from AE. A smart move, I'd say, since you won't buy just a little there. Now I have plenty of Starbucks bottles around and abundant supply of mini candies. On the flip side, I'm going to save a lot from the fridge room.

Wanna see me?

Now you've got a chance. Some photos of Free Food Event #1368 (aka Graduate Recruiting Weekend) are posted here. According to this page, I seemed to be happy with the food.

An interesting note. In the second last picture, you can see a dish of fish. No one else on the table seemed to be interested in it. Of course, the result is, I nearly finished the whole fish...

Yet another application

This one is as lazy as the last one, not bothering to personalize each spam he is sending. I don't know how other people take this, but I would rather not to have him be sincerely mine...
Dear Professor,

I am presently a third year 'Mathematics and Scientific Computing' Undergraduate pursuing a five-year Master of Science program at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur, India's premier technological institution. In the summer vacations that follow, I wish to do a project in the field of Algorithms and Data Stucture under your guidance. Being a keen student of Mathematics my research interest also centers on it.

In the three years of my stay here at IIT Kanpur, I have done various professional courses related to algebra,computing and algorithms which give me a reasonable background (see the CV attached herewith). I have a strong background of mathematics and computing (C, C++, and Java). I am confident that if given a chance I would really work hard to do full justice with the work assigned to me.

I am attaching my curriculum vitae along with this application. Kindly have a look at the professional courses I have done so far and the projects I have been involved in. Let me know the chances of getting a project/internship under you .Even if you don't have a project, please refer me to some of your colleagues who are involved in some research. If needed, I would be glad to make some additional information and references available to you.

Looking forward to hear from you soon.

With best regards,
Sincerely yours
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx

Lately

I have done some moderately interesting things like visiting Austin and going to my sister's pastry class gradaution buffet (no, not this Pastry, this is the real thing). I was just too lazy to update here. Maybe if people like you were more eager to click my ads...

Hurray!

Yay! Tung is going to step down as the Chief Executive of Hong Kong! I don't think I can sleep early tonight!

Wait... the deadline of HotDep is 2am... I won't be able to sleep by then anyway...

Another one

Here comes another one. I guess I should post all of them here. Based on the level of weirdness of the poor writing and the fact that some sentences are identical to the other one, I suspect that they follow some "standard reference"...
Respected Sir,

I am a 3rd year undergraduate student in the department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. I am on the look out for a challenging and creative summer internship during the period May to July'05 that would allow me to hone my skills in my areas of interest and also add on to my existing knowledge and curiosity in those areas.

My areas of interest include Software engineering, Networking and Operating System. My devotion and commitment towards my work and ability to complete the assigned job in allotted time would help me to do justice to any project that I am assigned.

I would like to do project under your supervision. Given a chance, I would be displaying exemplary dedication and utmost sincerity towards the work assigned to me and would also be doing a sufficient level of homework on the work that i am expected to do before coming to work under you.I believe i would be able to contribute as well as learn if i get the opportunity to work under you.

I shall be greatly obliged if my appended resume herewith provides the necessary additional information in this regard.

Looking forward for a positive reply.

Yours sincerely,
