Beijing

My first trip to Beijing is about 1.5 month ago for business. Our Beijing office is officially set up in mid June and I was asked to take the position to cover both Beijing and Taiwan as we need people to work on Tech sector in Beijing. I went there twice so far to meet up with potential clients and those 2 trips were quite good so that both my supervisor and I decide to take up this task officially starting from 1st Jul 2008.

During my first trip there, I stayed back for one more day so as to walk around this CAPITAL city of China. I really like this city because of all the historical stuff that I can find and feel over there. Interestingly, our office is located at the most expensive and busy area of the city but I really love those historical sites.

I went to the Forbidden City but I didn't go in as I planned to spend 2 full days there after Olympic because they are still renovating that place.

After this, I just walked around the city as I always like to go to the local place to feel how people there live. So I had my lunch at a small lane. The bowl of noodle and the hot fried cake only cost me RMB4.5. Don't think my colleagues would be interested in this kind of place as we are used to the "HIGH CLASS' stuff but I really enjoy this part especially when traveling.

Yes, I would start the traveling life again and this time it's much more challenging because of the business and market. Not sure how long it's going to be but I don't really question so much about future as what I really care is the current moment. I do enjoy my work though it's challenging and tiring. I also decide to adjust my work style to make it more effective and efficient as well as to achieve the ultimate "work life balance" goal. it could be more difficult since I would be traveling again but I could probably find another type of lifestyle when I'm start the regional life in Beijing.

My Type...

Went to watch "Sex and the City" yesterday as I just want to know the ending of this long story. Of course, it's another "happy forever and ever" ending as that supposed to be what everyone is expecting. Only this time, I realized the reason why my girlfriends told me that BIG is my type. Yes, successful, handsome, tall, strong, rich, OLD. Those are almost everything I'm talking about. Guess that's also the reason why we all think I should open for Divorcee as nobody at my age would be able to have that kind of life experience.

Lately, my relationship becomes an interesting topic among friends and familly. I accompanied one of my close friends for furtune telling as she needs to make some decision about marridge, work and even the place to live. So I also took that chance to ask about myself. Accoridng to that one, I would only met HIM after Mar 2009 and I might only be able to get married in 2011 which is another 3 more years. However, my mom was curious and went to ask another "TEACHER". Interestingly, this one told her that I might probably get married and having kid late 2009. Beginning of the year, my ex-colleague also asked for me and that teacher said HE is around me but I just didn't know.

We sometimes went to Futune Telling becuase we are not sure of what's going to be and the best decision to make. However, these are somehow confusing if we are getting different questions, which makes the whole situation even more complicated. To me, I still believe he would be here when he is supposed to be. What I need to do is just "BE OPEN" and "BE POSITIVE".
