Hello All... Miss Me?
30th Jan 2007
Sunny and Clear Skys
This is the 6th day for me in Beijing but it's only my 4th day at work. Work is going well for me I guess, as currently I have been handed only the purchasing part for the company. I will be asked to do Sales too when I get familiar with things around here. As for now, all I am doing is to read up on some of the company’s previous projects and contracts. I am expected to learn thing from reading them… Haven’t figure out how that would work... And to make matter worst, majority of the information are in Chinese... *sweat
Anyway, time is crawling over here for me when I am reading the information. Many times I almost fell asleep reading them and if not for the Chinese tea, I would have been long gone. Hai... Hope that things will be better when I start my real work...
I am now staying in a hotel which is within walking distance from my office and it is located around a residential area north-west of the main city. For you information, my office is actually an apartment converted to an office. So there isn't much for me to do and eat around my hotel. The nearest shopping mall is about 15 mins walk away and the nearest train station is about 30-45 mins walk away. With this kind of weather, I bet you won't feel like going out as well.
Temperature dropped to – 4 deg yesterday and it was super duper windy. The strong wind blew up loose sand on the floor and made it difficult to breathe properly without breathing in sand. Fortunately, things are back to normal today and finally I could see clouds in the sky. I am still hoping that it will snow a little before I fly back to Singapore for Chinese New Year but the locals said that it’s too late of the winter period for it to snow. Sigh...
Ok then, I better head back to work if not they may think that I am skiving... Which I am... Until then, take care...
