"trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack in that mother-fucker's reflection."
you can let the sun in
Six billion smaller worlds on the bigger one.
Shoe salesmen and short-order cooks who look boring from the outside
- some have weirder lives than you.
Six billion stories, every one an epic,
full of tragedy and triumph,
good and evil,
despair and hope.
You and me - we aren’t so special, bro.
you can say something
you can enrich your mind

by the time you're reading this, i'm in the land of great..... bargains and spit, fondly known as China.and ok la honestly, the people here in my city (which i will reveal personally face to face only) are quite classy so i don't hear much of the "phlegm" sound (silence! i'll kill you!)
it wasn't a good start because my flight was early (actually it was ok just that i had massive lack of sleep), my baggage was overweight by 6kg (i packed for 5 months la) then a bit irritated cus argued with parents, packed and re-packed. so when i entered the immigration side with half open eyes and sibei sianness, then the stupid officer reached out his hand, I THOUGHT HE WANTED TO SHAKE MY HAND, then im like what the? oh he actually wanted my passport.
THEN NEVER SAY RIGHT. anyway the plane's ride ok, fell asleep next to a china beng and many other chineses.
my 1 week apartment at pudong area is pretty cosy: here are some photos.
my room mate's called sapphire and she's from beijing, really nice lady, just don't know if she is honest enough to tell me that my snoring will keep her awake or either that i really don't know.
i have other 5 singaporeans living in the same apartment as well so i don't feel the home-sickness yet. they gave me a welcome to shanghai dinner, went grocery shopping, basically it's all nice. EXCEPT THAT I DONT KNOW ANY ONE OF THEM AT ALL, dont have the nice warm feeling.
AND I ALSO CANNOT REVEAL THAT I KNOW THE DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY PERSONALLY.
they woh ya, relatives working together can be risky, sorry i mean HIGH MANAGEMENT vs low management, it's like the president's daughter u know except that i got no bodyguards and not much money.they were even asking how come i got driver when they made their way from the airport to the apt themselves, this kind is either they treat u damn nice, or damn bad or damn careful. either way, all sucks.
i attended a HR orientation today, and to make sure that things really go into your head, after reading the rules/regulations, i have to fill in the blanks based on what i read. IN CHINESE. i really need to improve on my chinese characters, i write like pri school kid knn. i also want to speak like them, so fluid and nice sounding, i sound like a retarded chinese ok. ss.
Damn strict hours policy, u reach late twice a month, deduct half day (gotta reach by 9am), u leave early, also deduct leave. lunch hour was strictly1 hour, and the first lunch i ate was macdonalds, fish burger set and they have MALA shaker fries ok - total cost 15 rmb. i am on a stringent monetary diet.
and no, i have yet to shop cus i got no time, the weather's cold, ranging from 8 deg to 14 deg. supposedly cold weather makes us more glam, with all the coats and all but I TELL YOU, IT'S DAMN COLD.
this whole blog entry is a bit like cannot make it but its my 2nd day here, i'll improvise as time passes. and yes my english's still intact.
i want to see all my friends at my house during CNY and before i fly back, so u GUYS BETTER WORK OUT YOUR SCHEDULE MAN.
if u guys want to reach me, best to do so through email (can be found on facebook), or if u die die miss me (heh :) X 100), can send me sms or call me la. i got china number also (TOTALLY FIT IN), let me know if u want.
BTW, this is blogged by myself but posted by my blog manager.
CHINA BANNED ACCESS TO FACEBOOK AND BLOGS, no wonder google is leaving.
KNN x 100

If you’ve ever had one of those times when you’ve clutched a pen or something else in your hand for a long time, only to look down and be surprised that you are still holding it long after your need for it had passed, you’ll understand sometimes we get so used to holding that we forget to let go. 1/13/2010 12:59:00 AM

She spends the first hour or so of her solitary journey as she usually spends some time after a parting from him— balancing signs of affection against those of impatience, and indifference against a certain qualified passion. “Always remember that when a man goes out of the room, he leaves everything in it behind,” her friend Marie Mendelson has told her. “When a woman goes out she carries everything that happened in the room along with her.”
Alice Munro, “Too Much Happiness”
