Hi all,

Today is my last day in Intel as an intern. The past 32 weeks here has been very memorable to me. I’ve made a lot of new friends and I’m glad you are one of them. To be able to work with and to learn from all of you has been very enjoyable. Thank you for the support, guidance and encouragement you have given to me. I’m going to miss all of you a lot.

Let’s keep in touch!

I can be reached at my personal email address at limqihua@gmail.com .
Thanks again for everything.

“We only part to meet again.”

Regards,

My final week of internship

I can’t believe that my 32 weeks of IT is finally ending…this Friday!! Oh gosh, time really flies so fast!! Now that I’ll be heading back to the desert, that means I’ll have limited access to the bloody internet, over-exposure to the scorching sun and I’ll need to force myself to be a book-worm nerd again.

Arghhhhhhhhhh!!!

I’ll miss all the tea times we always have during work days. I’ll certainly miss going out at night with my colleagues/friends in Penang. I’ll also miss going out shopping whenever I want. And most of it, I’ll definitely miss the crazy outings I’ve had with my colleagues. Hehe.

I don’t wanna go back Tronoh!!!!

The Mayonnaise jar and the coffee

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar… and the coffee…

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar
lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls He then asked the students again if the jar was full.

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.

Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with infamous “yes.”

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire
contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students
laughed.

“Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided,

“I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

The golf balls are the important things. Your family, your children, your faith, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions.

Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter. Your job, your house and your car. The sand is
everything else. The small stuff.

“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the
golf balls.

The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups.

Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter.

Set your priorities.

The rest is just sand.”

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. “I’m glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.”

Please share this with someone nice.

I JUST DID.
