Boring...
31st Jan 2007
Day 7 Sunny with Strong Wind Temperature ranging between -5 deg to 1 deg.
Yet another boring day as usual but fortunately, time passes slightly faster today. Maybe it’s because I’ve got some new information to read up on. It’s some pass price bargaining history of the company’s director with a Japanese manufacturer on a certain industrial dryer. It’s a series of faxes here and there through a middle person from Taiwan who is desperately trying to make the price and terms right. So now, I guess it would be my turn as a fresh new purchaser for the company with totally no experience in purchasing to do all the bargaining... Hopefully it will be in English, if not I will have a hard time trying to bargain. It’s really stressfully if you come to think of it… I must not let my family down... I am a useful person!!! XD
It’s really cold again today with totally no hope of snowing... Clear blue sky with low humidity... I have to cover up totally just to go for lunch and it’s only a 1 to 2 mins walk away. By the time I reach shelter, my whole face and hands will be freezing... Fortunately I went to top up my mobile yesterday and not today... If not going out in this kind of weather would be a killer... Some times I wonder how people in the North can go out with this kind of temperature and walk around.
I feel that I am slowly adapting to this kind of lonely lifestyle... It totally sucks but it really makes you look forward to meeting your family members and loved ones. Even receiving a call from them brightens you up no matter how expensive the call maybe. So every night I will be looking forward to bed time when my BB will call me to update me of her well being and me telling her of my boring life here. : )
Hope that I will be able to make friends here soon. If not, I won’t have the opportunity to go out and search for the good food to eat and good place to hang out... Haven’t tried so many things here but doing them alone would be so boring and meaningless… Peking Duck and the famous Beijing Shuai Yang Rou is still waiting for me to go find them... : (
Ok... Time to go back to work... Take care...
