Friday night, is the night...
Huuurrraaayyy… It’s Friday again...!! The last working day for the long and slow week is here finally. Hopefully I can get some long needed rest this weekend and get right back to work fresh and all ready to take on the challengers. Plans for Saturday, meeting Mae in the afternoon to visit Zhong Guan Chun to hunt for my Canon 400D while she hunts for her Fuji Digital Camera… Hey, she’s a great fan of the brand Fuji okay… Dun play play… Not Kodak, not Olympus, definitely not Canon… But Fuji ah!!! Fuuwahhhh!!! And No… I am not mocking her right now… Plans for Sunday, Slack? Church? Slack…
Well, was “Google-ing” for Universities recently for my MBA and found BiMBA, it’s an educational venture between Peking University and US’s Fordham University. I think it’s one of the only few institutes in Beijing which are providing MBA courses in English. I really cannot imagine myself taking up a Chinese MBA when my Chinese is only 1/4 bucket of water loh.. Not even half bucket can.. (半桶水)!!! Anyway, went for the “one on one conversation” recruitment talk for BiMBA at Kerry Hotel yesterday evening. BiMBA apparently is one of the top education venture institutes in the world and it gave me great doubts on whether I should or am I qualified to enroll for the MBA course. I pretty much know myself how good I am in studies and how recognized my degree is. Maybe I shouldn’t embarrass myself by submitting my resume and portfolio for the course and interview.. The interviewers would probably be laughing at me in their minds and probably out loud even before they see me or when they go through my resume and degree transcript. I can imagine myself looking at their faces and sees them trying hard not to giggle at me during the the interview… Shit.. To hell with that..
After hearing that I went searching for MBA courses yesterday, first thing in the morning when he enters the office, my boss wants me to look up some economic course which he took up previously in another University. He said it would help in my work for the company..But I am not staying in the companyfor long. If some of you have been to the Northern parts of China, you would have notice that actually the Chinese do smell a little too. But confirm not as pungent as you know... Well, the reason of the smell I would say is related to the cold and low humidity weather up north. It would be a great deal of pain even to remove your cloths to shower during the winter. So they have this habit of not showering for days and for some, weeks as they don’t perspire at all.. Another thingy to explain the smell is the food they eat. Northern Chinese loves eating raw garlic during their meals. It certainly helps to kill some germs inside them and some on the food they are about to eat, but it leaves behind a horrible smell lingering in their breath..
Back to boss this morning, as he was standing behind me while I was scrolling through the University’s webby, a strange “smell” slowly creeps up from behind like a ghost pounding at me and engulfing me entirely. At first I thought I could endure it as it wasn’t the first time I smell it. Then, without warning, boss leans forward towards the computer screen and his head was inches away from mine.. Then he started talking to me... Fark... The smell I tell you.. It’s beyond words can describe... I seriously want to just stand up and let him take the seat but he leaned his arm on my shoulder and continues talking to me.. If I haven’t held my breath then, I think I would have fainted immediately.. He kept talking to me for about 2 minutes or so instructing me to find this and that regarding the course. These few minutes were the longest minutes of my entire life... Even after he left, I could still smell the “stench” lingering around for quite some time.. Yucks..
On a brighter side, something kind of exciting happened yesterday afternoon when I was applying for my Residential Permit at the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. To explain a little, it’s where locals and “aliens” apply for their entry and exit permits.. Nice name but as usual, service was crap. But what made it cool was someone was there.. Christy Chung.. Yup! She was there applying for her permit as well I guess. But she got her assistants to do all the running for her and she just stood there. Some procedures here need you to be there personally to show face before they process it.. Well.. She wasn’t as gorgeous as what I’ve imagine her to be in the movies and photos blah blah blah.. She was tan, quite tan actually and doesn’t look tall.. But her long hair, thick lips, very nice nose.. After staring for a while, realised that she's got the “charm” like most of the actors and actresses. A “charm” which makes you attracted to them every time you see them. Then again.. Still not very gorgeous.. Contadicting huh... No worries.. I am just trying to confuse you.
Ok, better go find dinner le..
Take care all.. Enjoy your weekends..
