i had drinks with my friends. he asked me, why you took this job, the pay isnot good. i said just one word 'experience'. yes, i need that, if i were a experienced emplyee, i am sure i would get a job in england easily. but i am not, so i have to spend some meanlingless time, at least it seems like that now. then, i would get a job offer from some other companies. i would get promoted. thats what i want.

 

the road i have ever known!

 

congratulations to my good friend, who's got a job offer in yorkshire. he has to go back to yorkshire, poor guy. however, as far as i know, he's planning to get a yorkshire girl. gr8, mate. wish you luck!

 

everyone started the new page of his life. we are all trying to move on. hope we can sit together, enjoying, again, at somewhere in this world. China, India, England, or maybe US.

now, i am working in a SP(service provider, mostly providing services to the mobile users) company, the money is all right here. i could afford stuff now. Fortunately, the manager likes me a lot, and he is not a gay. very important, right? i am in charge of the business negotiation area. it is almost 1 month now, i am learning stuff about the industry and the company. i believe i could do something here.

 

the most important thing now is not just the work. what i am doing now would shape my values and promote my career. that is the point.

 

 

here is the list 4 the stuff i shud be happy 4:

 

collected my Master Degree Certificate

signed a cooperation contract with a radio station, which will bring me some money

finally, got broadband in my living place, that is why i can write some stuff on my blog

getting along quite well with my girl

have some spare time to enjoy my life, watching premier league and uefa champions league, learning french

 

 feel really bad, coz i am really fat now, i have to lose some weight to shape my body like a real man. tough work for me. what is more? i have not used english for such a long time, i shud not give it up becoz the Chinese ladies could not get the 'hey, baby, how are you doing?'  long way to go!

 

God bless me!

it seems i have to admit that i made a huge mistake. working in a wrong company under an unhealthy industry, at the wrong time. i just started my carrer, it is really important to choose the right job to do.

i do not wanna say much about the company.coz every company has its own problems, however, i know if i shud stay here. Lets see it!

fingers cross!!!

finally, some one(s) won the jackpot of the Euro Millions, 126,000,00, in sterling, my god. i have been thinking what i might do if i won. Porsche, personal jet, castle, girls, hookers, -------, no problem at all, but, damn it.

not my fault this time, i have been trying to log on the msn website, however, however, the miscrosoft is crap. the last 3 times, i wrote sth and tried to put them on, 'errors'. that is the answer for aound 50 days i have not left anything.

 

i am just al right nowadays. doing some work, drinking some beer, flirting with some hot girls at work, however, they do not know much about english, especially 'FRIENDS', coz every time i say 'hey, how are you doing?' no response at all, shi*t. 

 

i am not very happy with my  jod, it is an insurance company, i know how great being an agent in US or Euro, but in China, everything would be different. so,  it is still quite hard for me right now, so i am trying to get another job. also, i am mad about the tax in China now.

 

one thing is funny. there is a market in Shanghai, you can get every name fashion there, like the Xiushui Rd Market in Beijing, Polo Ralph Lauren, Boss, Nike, Adidas, Gucci, Levi's, CK,almost everything, from your hat to ur underwear, from sport clothes from suits. the price is quite good, always 1/6 to 1/5 of the price the vendor askes. if they ask for 300 RMB ( $1=8 RMB), you will get it from 50 to 60. but the tip is, when you haggle the price, u have to say 50 or lower, otherwise you can not get it with 50, or max 60.

 

the first time i went there, i pretended that i did not know how to speak Chinese, so at the beginning, they asked me in English, then Japanese, then Korean. what the hell! then i said in original Chinese, ' just 50, no more then that, otherwise i will kick you ass.' then, i get the fake stuff. but i was happy.

 

by the way, i want to tell you guys, the Euro Millions this wk is 70,000,000 pounds, give a shot of your luck. may be you would be like the Irish girl who won the 79,000,000 quiz last time. good luck to everyone, at the time the Chinese new year is coming. if you win, do not forget Jamie. i would be quite pleased if you give me 100,000 pounds.

 

 

 

 

 

finally, i am back to China. i made this decision wk ago and landed at shanghai on 25th Oct. in the first 3 days, i felt terrible, coz everything suddenly changed,  the money, the different systemthe, the life style and living environments. i was shocked bcoz of these. when i am watching the CCTV-9, the international channel, i feel the Chinese English again and again.

 

b4 i came here, i thought shanghai would be different, however, it is exactly the same as every other city in China. i was a little bit disappointed, to be honest. then i think maybe coz i am new here, so i shud spend some time to know this place and then search for my personal development. through my experience, i know it is wrong and asightless if i judge something in such a short time, so just being alert and i will love this place later.

 

now i have started my job applications. the process is always long and all-consuming, time,money, energy, etc. but i am sure i am totally right to make this kind of decision. i have to go back and find a job anyway. being back earlier means i would get my opportunies than the late birds and it will bring me better personal development. so, just see what would happen.

i have no words to scotland. it sucks completely.

the first day in edinburgh, in the castle. every thing relates to war. war, war, war. it seems that is all in scotland. however, be honest, the museums are al right, coz the industry revolution. thank james watt, otherwise i wonot live in the world like this. i went to george square in Glasgow, just for him, and i saw the structure of the modern cities, i mean the industrial cities. but, on the other hand, i saw many many chavs, much much more than in england. shame!

 

in edinburgh, every people think they r posh. always get dressed formally and go to the strange restaurant, with candles burning and without lights. the environment is not strange, but the people, coz always guys in groups sitting in the restaurants. guys surrounded by candles, the only reason is there are G*Ys. in the history, scotland kept trying to be independent, but why they still show huge respect to the queen? there is a street called Royal Mile, shud be actual one mile in the distance, in edinburgh, which leads to the queen's official residence in Scotland and the funny scottish parliament. the buiding of the parliament is really funny, covered by thousands of sticks. u shud see it.i still have no idea what the parliament is used for? discussing how much is the wool this yr? how much fish the glasgow council shud hunt? and, last day there r 100 guys dressing kilts yesterday on the street, how many kilts we shud see on the street in the coming days?

 

it seems the scotland is pround of the sheeps and wool. and lots of places show off the scottish skills of handcraft. but, but, but my friend bought a woolen blanket there, which is really expensive but feels really really great, however, unfortunately, he noticed the label " made in New Zealand". why why why? the reason is either the wool or the craft skills. what i can say?

 

my feeling about the scotland is there is no scottish at all. in my eyes, they do not speak english. the strange accents, sound like the italian people. i met 2 australian and 4 americans on the bus, who made me feel that i was still listening to real english, not the fake one.

 

scotland shud thank hollywood, esp Mel Gibson. if there was not the Brave Heart, who will go to that kind of place? like the highlands, the fort william. lock ness sucks too. under today's technology, it shud be really, really easy to know if there is or are monster(s) in the lake. just 700 feets, a little bit over 200 metres. how easy it shud be!!! the reason why they did not do that is the money. who will go there if it is being aproved there is no monster? FEW! everything in that place can not compare the same places in Switzerland. no way!
