Thanks to all you took their time to comment :)
The experience I was talking about was "not-so-pleasant." After first few meetings with my advisor I felt, he is the person who thinks all his graduate students should think and act as he "thinks" they should. I really thought at that point that I would NOT do Ph.D. under that person.
Now after nearly a semester, I realize that it is NEVER in graduate students' interest to show "attitude" to the advisor. Even if one may think he/she is right and the advisor wrong, we need to give lots of benefit of doubt to the advisor. All (or at least most of them) advisors want their gradaute student to do very well. It is in the interest of the advisor that his/her students does well in thei career.
I took a lot of time to realize this. I hope some present/future gradaute students "learn" from my experience.

PS: Guys please wish me luck, at this point I really want to show my advisor with my work or "anything" that I learned "valuable" lesson from the "bad start" to my graduate study. Thanks again.
