Half Full 半滿

I have a bad day.

Hai... I would say today should be considered a good or a normal day for me.. Every thing was going so well.. Woke up on time, went to work on time, looking fabulous as usual, did some work and ate some snake.. So smooth...

I think things went bad from the moment I step into the stupid "China Korean Restaurant" near my house for dinner... Ordered a rice roll and a kim chee pan cake. After waiting for 10 mins, the pancake came. Then after another 5 mins, the waitress came tell me rice roll is finished.. After waiting for 15 mins then tell me.. Duh... So I ordered a "cold noodle" to replace the rice roll.

Well, I wasn't quite prepared for what the dish would turn out to be. It's like fried ramen but it's cold and soaked in a horrible cold, salty and spicy sauce.. The noodles was tough and made it difficult to bite and chew.. One word for it.. Sucks.. But luckily the kim chee pan cake was good... If not dinner would have been farked up.

Anyway, here come the main disaster of the day.. Daddy gave me US$1000 to buy a smaller lappy for myself.. But I am thinking of using the money to buy a Digital SLR camera instead so that I can go around taking pictures in Beijing when I am free, rather then staying home to rot.. Not confirm how I will use it yet as of now.. Then wanted to pass the money to Ah Long for him to bring it back to BB, so that she can bank in for me or use it to buy the camera from Sinagpore and either send to me or ask someone bring over.. But to my horror... Only US$900 left... I farking lost US$100 dollar loh.. KNS... That's S$155 dollars and RMB¥770 loh.. The best thing is I don't know whether it was stolen or lost loh.. Hai... Sucks.. Let's just hope that Mr Benjamin Franklin will appear some where in my house soon.. *curse

If my Mr Benjamin Franklin is really stolen, I hereby curse the person who took it that he/she will lose more then what he/she got from me.. If Mr Benjamin Franklin was dropped by me, I hope that he is hiding somewhere in my house.. If Mr Benjamin Franklin was dropped outside, I hope that the one who picked it up is very poor and he/she will benefit from the money.

Sianz.. Anyway, I am looking forward to this weekend as Ah Long will be here to company me. He is here for a training and he extended his stay in Beijing. Whoohoo.. His wife already tell me what she want Ah long to buy for her le... Hur hur Grade A LV handbag.. Hong Qiao, here we come...

Ok then let's hope that things will turn out well soon. I don't want to suay the whole weekend can le. Hmm.. Maybe I should go buy a "good luck" crystal ball.. Hee..

Take care. Good bye bad day... And don't come back again..

爸爸不在家

Hmm... Finally, after so many weeks in Beijing, I manage to meet my daddy. He has been busy flying here and there meeting clients and suppliers all over China. His stay in Beijing is a very short one night and yet he has little time for me.. That’s really discouraging for me actually, waiting for him for so long and when he is finally here, the time we can spend together is like less then ten percent of his stay here.. But then through all these years of time, I guess I’ve gotten used to this feeling. This is no good at all but it does help lessen the disappointment.

Oh well, enough of that for now. I realize I’ve not been blogging for quite some time already and that’s because I’ve been busy and I’ve got limited access to the net. Yesterday finally got my internet at home up and running so from now on I don’t have to stay late in the office just to use the computer. Been kind of busy lately cause I am finally being assigned some work le.. Not that previously I wasn’t but now I finally got things handed to me to complete. Time passes faster then before and I don’t have to struggle to stay awake..

Also I was back in Singapore for a week last week. Was back because of my employment visa for China, initially we thought that we could apply it in China but it turns out that the first employment visa must be done in the home country and the following ones then can be extended in China. That’s not the end, I still have to apply for employment permit and resident permit before everything is considered done. Sigh… And ya, I am officially an Alien in Beijing.. Whoohoo..!



I am an Alien... Tiu tiu...

Went walking around during the weekend to catch the "flower" before they are gone.. Well, sad to say I am too late already, mostly started growing leaves le so not as pretty as weeks back. Here's 2 better fotos I took with my phone.



Ok, I dun noe wat flower is this but it's almost everywhere of Beijing.



Close up look.. It really pretty de.. :)

Opps, it's late le. Got to go...

Take care...

No more April Fool

Hmm... Had a rather simple weekend.. Went Wang Fu Jing (王俯井) shopping for a jacket for Spring and Autum.. While on a cab to the subway, I realised that my jeans got quite a big "kah long" and my black Calvin Klein
underwear was visible when I open my legs wide.. Opps.. Hee.. So had to get myself a new pair of jeans to change into liao..

So first thing I did when I reach was to find some boutique selling jeans and I finally settle for a light blue coloured, regular straight cut jeans from Jack and Jones.. RMB350 for one.. Changed into it immediately before I expose myself to all the tourists..

Since I knew what I wanted to buy, I went straight to G2000 to search for my jacket.. Saw it, tried it and bought it.. RMB1380.. Knn.. In a short span of 1 hour and close to RMB2000 was gone.. That's about RMB2000/5 = S$400.. They do have similar looking jacket selling somewhere in Beijing but I really have no idea where to find it.. Hai.. And ya.. I made it look good.. :) Whoohoo! Cos for that price.. It better do..

Met up with Ah Mae Mae for dinner and she brought me to One Night In Beijing.. It's a yunnan restaurant located at a hotel's basement but I forgot the hotel's name.. Well.. They serve reasonably nice food but the layout and design of the place looks good.. :)



This is Winter Melon Balls in Grape Juice.. Nice..



Cod Fish Steamed in Big Onions... Think so.. Fresh..

We had 过桥米线 too, it's yunan's "special" noodle and also a plate of veggy but didn't take photo of them..



This was how their sofa looks like.. Not well taken but it looked nice..



A painting on the well..

Didn't take photo after that cos was busy eating keke...

Then Sunday went to HouHai (后海)to Jalan Jalan cos I was way too bored watching DVDs.. Nothing much there to see during the day but at night.. It's a pubbing area like Boat Quay.. Didn't stay there long then went back for more DVD le.. Hai..

Let's hope that this week will be better and less windy so that I can wear my jacket.. Hur hur..

Ok ok... Eat snake time is over.. Better go back to work..

Till then..

Enjoy..
