California 2014 - Part 1 Silicon Valley

Google office

Not long after our trip to Singapore, Alicia got an offer to do exchange program in Canada, about 9 months later I went to United States for my internship for my department at Western Digital. The only thing I can say about California is that I love it so much!!!

The motel I lived in

Western Digital had rented Residence Inn around San Jose for about 2.5 months I was there. It was known as a motel locally but it was a serviced apartment by Malaysian standard. If I were to go back again I would consider renting them


If you happened to stay in Silicon Valley like me, your trip would probably considered "Tak Sah" if you did not pop in to those big names around the neighborhood. Here was me at Google and Apple

Did not think it was a big deal back then, but looking back this was probably the proudest picture I have taken

When I was there I got to work with a lot of brilliant minds. Most of them were PhD holders and they were my mentor. I felt I was going through university all over again. Some of my mentors and friends I made
