Hot...
Day 13 Monday Hazy/Clear Temperature 10 deg
It is a warm winter indeed, its winter now but the weather shows otherwise. According to the locals, this is the first time for a thousand years ever that some lake somewhere in Beijing didn't freeze. Hmm... Global warming is really changing some things around...
Anyway, nothing exciting happened today and as usual, I almost fell asleep reading all the contracts, emails and faxes... Sigh... The morning half was rather interesting as I went for my medical check up needed to apply for my work permit/visa. The usual stuffs were done, blood pressure, blood sample, weight, height, chest x-ray and some cardio thingy... It ended faster then I anticipated... Started at 930 and it ended at 1015, reached office at 1030... Then I realized... Not everyday got so many foreigners come Beijing work de... Hur hur... My colleague was nice enough to drive me there this morning and drive me back to office after it. She is kind of the 大姐 in the company as she has been in the company for more then 5 years. After that, everything was back to the usual do nothing day but read and trying not to fall asleep.
Well, was pondering a little today while day dreaming. I'm thinking of suggesting to my MD something which might help me in my learning curve in the company. It's a method which one my friend did previously when he started working in a new company. The method helped speed up his learning processes in the company. He managed to learn most of the things he should know in 3 months instead of the usual 6 months to 9 months. I thought that it was a good idea but I understand too that not everything will work the same on different people in different situation. So I'm still thinking of whether I should mention it to him before I go back. Lets see how thing goes these few days before I return to Singapore.
After work I had dinner at a so so restaurant near my office. Wanted to order more variety but the portion they serve in the restaurant comes only in one size.. Which is huge... I order a bowl of noodles.. It cost 8 RMB.. The size is enough to feed 2...
See, so big.. Didn't finish all..
Was eating happily at first but I stopped suddenly after noticing something... I know people in Beijing prefer their food to be more salty and oily compared to us... But see the amount of oil in the small bowl of food? Scary...
Also, I've stop internet access in my hotel room, so you will probably hear less from me. Will try to update when I can.
Take care.
