City of Corvallis, Oregon

Land of the west, a whole new world abroad. Its been my dream since long long time ago to be able to go abroad to witness and feel not just the diversity of lifestyle, but also knowing things out of the horizon. I had dreamed to go for Switzerland (partly becoz of snow), London (Emirates Stadium), Rome, France, New York, Sydney and now, maybe Corvallis (after being introduced to such lovely place by my closest and friendliest lecturer in my varsity (kinda genius looking), who wished to be known as Mr. SFF) Take a look at the map (google map) for that location...


America - land of western hemisphere...



a closer view on the almost central part of america....



seen the green arrow on the map???



this is corvallis...a very developed area...


He's currently pursuing his phD in (forgot what course) there. Notice the red wordings and arrow at the bottom of the map below? It's the Kelley Engineering Center OSU, his place of work there. At the top of the map where you can see the yellow pins are the Northwest Fillmore Avenue and Fred Mayer. Fillmore Inn seems to be a very nice place to stay though. Currently, he's kinda enjoying life there!

and this is where Mr.SFF is working and living currently....

The office is about 7 minutes walking distance away. The best part is, the neighbourhood area is surrounded by cows. Must have lotsa cow milks to drink! =P The weather there is warm, dry and cool at night. It seems that it will rain soon for half a year. I've got to know that the Americans only go for real big,big things. You cannot find 'kapcai' motorbike there, its only Harley Davidson's type. There's also mosque,temples and dozens of churches at the vicinity. Moreover, it seems there's a lot of Asians living around there also.

Sometimes, it seems life is really stressful there till havta eat,sleep and work at the office. On top of that, post-graduates over there can get USD 5k tax relief. That's really a lot compare to Malaysia, maybe due to the high cost of living there. Going overseas to study isn't a glamour thing,but their schools, developments and researches are light years ahead of our uni's. Learning process never ends. I myself also admit that I have a very lot lot lot more to learn. This is the ever-evolving society that changes rapidly in parallel with time. Chatting with him really gives me inspiration and motivation to achieve more. I've known what i want and i will try my best to go for it! =)
