Feeling so lazy...or maybe busy...been back from the Guangzhou for the past week or so but didn't have the time to pen down anything here. Guess there're lots to learn in a new job and warrants lots of time so now my working hours are basically from 9am till 8pm. Reach home already 8+pm or 9pm already. Bathe liao, sit for a while then can go to bed and sleep already...haha I guess this is what happens in a new environment. Hmmm actually my boss also not really particular, just that I find that I gotta put in more time and effort in order to catch up fast and be able to manage issues with confidence in time to come. So spend more time in office also ok lah. You reap what you sow...so hopefully in time to come; I'll be able to enjoy the fruits of my labour, haha.

Guangzhou was a pretty all right place. Couldn't get use to the traffic conditions though. It was like totally opposite from Singapore's style, for those who had been to China, you might understand what I'm saying. Anyway, it took me a while to get use to it. So I decided to start looking both ways before crossing the roads there. ;p I spent the nights alone in the room...first time I went overseas and stayed in a room on my own, the feeling was pretty good. Slept & walk nude in the room and no one cares haha. Hmmm who knows maybe they had hidden cameras and soon I'll see them selling pirated XXX DVDs with my body and a censored face...oh gosh. ;p

I was there for 5 days and work was probably just for two and a half days. The other days were spent going around looking for work related stuff but ended up at shopping malls. Shopping malls there were basically the same as Singapore ones...not much difference and you could see lots of familiar brands like Giordano, G2000, etc. So nothing much for me to buy, just bought Mp4 players for my Sis & 'J'. My Sis was damn happy with the player, so excited about it cause her last player already written off as total loss liao. Total expenses there...S$400.

One thing I must mention is that I attended this trade fair at Guangzhou; not to mention name. When you see the people attending the fair, it makes you wonder whether they're businessman or something else. They came from all different countries, but no one seem to know what a purpose of the queue is for. The queue is there for them to cut, that is why there is this thingy called 'cut queue' and it happens there like nobody's business. They can actually just remove the barriers and cut through when people have been queuing for the past 1 hour or so. My boss & I being the patient ones waited and waited and waited...soon we were at the end of the queue again...wow was there fantastic or what. We saw another foreigner who was also in the queue for a long time; he was trying very hard to prevent people from cutting his queue but soon he decided that if he can't beat them, join them...And there he goes too, disappearing into the queue too. Haha I guess there were only two left queuing up...guess who!#$%*&^. I guess it was the cultural differences or was it just us...hmmm. Anyway finally the queue eased and we managed to get in after queuing for 2 hrs or so.

Pretty huge exhibition hall they had there, tiring though walking through the exhibitions. Noticed a certain trend there...Asian looking people didn't get entertained as much as Caucasian looking people. Especially if you speak in Mandarin to them...I think they entertain you more if you speak in English. I guess maybe they thought we were competitors trying to tap on their products...so sad double standard. We managed to finish the exhibition in two days and initially my boss wanted to drop by to HongKong as there was also a fair that was ongoing, but dropped the idea after considering all the hassle.

Today, met up with Ma2e and Jer for dinner....hmmm pretty short meet up only loh...why leh? Cause our dear Jer now very committed lah haha. Makes Ma2e and myself feel so jealous and unwanted keke ;p. Anyway Jer promised she'll stay longer next time, so we shall look forward to it.
