And so it has been a month since i touched down in California, more specifically, Silicon Valley.

It is quite fair to say this is a place for geeks. With so many big names in the tech industry having their roots here, and with the high density of engineers and scientist in this region, that might be the apt description.

Being in such close proximity with these big names is exciting for sure. Imagine driving to work, passing by nVidia, Yahoo! and McAfee; grabbing your morning cuppa next to the eBay campus; dropping by Facebook on your way to school (Facebook's office is at Stanford's school gate by the way.) Well, you get the idea.

For your information, i am working in a medical device start-up, which does contract manufacturing and designing of medical device components and supplies. Loving my company so far, great bunch of people to work with. Definitely looking forward to the subsequent months.

Stanford, by the way, has one of the most beautiful campuses i've ever seen. I figured my words will not do the place justice, so i'll just post pictures when i got my camera. Let's be patient shall we?

Also, been taking one of the most demanding classes i've ever attended. That being said, it is also one of the most amazing classes i've ever taken. For one, i had Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn appeared in my class today as the mystery guest speaker after we did a case on LinkedIn. I suppose that can only happen when your lecturer is Steve Blanks, one of the most influential entrepreneurs in the valley, and Tom Kosnik, one of the most experience consulting professors in entrepreneurship and business in Stanford. Trully amazing.

Til the next time, cheerios!
