31 janvier A Eventful January (Good or Bad)I am very happy today. Tracing my documents, hoo haa, I have closed 8 deals this past month. The other day I read in the fortune telling book saying that this year is an extremely auspicious year for me in the sense that the money will inflow to me. Haha...I hope so. On the other hand, it says my friend's money will exflow. To me? I told him, do not worry! I will return to you! I am a very fair person
Here is a checklist of the deals I closed.
Steria Asia(LTA)- S$45.554.80
SCS(IPOS)- S$6,333.60
SCS(ARCA)- S$2,358.00
AT&T- S$162,238.72
Kingsway(Ogilvy&Mather)- S$2818.20
BMC- S$1,584.00
Igine- S$2,786.00
Infovista- S$2,958.00
Quite a good month probably I was in the train when new year came? It is said to look out for a stride in progress.
Salary increased a tiny bit. :) Hopefully I can have a decent bonus. :) But my expectation is low. Mother always taught me to be so.
Hopefully my dreams can come true in 2007.
Personal life wise, experienced some emotional turmoil. Once cried till eyes swollen and could not go to office. Now it is still bufferring...
Need to find a new place to stay now before I make finalized move. Wish myself very good luck.
Cheers,
26 janvier 喜欢这种淡淡的感觉 我喜欢看树枝上那淡淡的嫩绿，它是春天的使者，它是一天清晨的开始…
I like the subtle fresh green budding from the branches of the tree ——the herald of spring, ushering in the dawn… 我喜欢天空中那淡淡的云，它将天空衬的更高更蓝更宽… I like the subtle flow of cloud that makes the sky seem even more vast, azure and immense… 我喜欢淡淡的风。春风轻吻脸颊，秋风抚面温柔，夏天的风送来凉爽，冬天的风带来清凉…… I like the subtle wind. In spring, it steals a kiss on my cheek; in autumn, it caresses my face; in summer, it brings in cool sweet smell; in winter, it carries a crisp chilliness… 我喜欢喝淡淡的茶，淡淡之中才品出它余味的清香，淡淡的苦才是它原来的味道…… I like the subtle taste of tea that last long after a sip. The subtle bitter is what it is meant to be… 我喜欢追求淡淡的友谊。彼此之间不需要天天在一起，偶尔一句：你好吗？思念就像发芽一样蔓延开来…… I like the subtle friendship that does not hold people together. In stead, an occasional greeting spreads our longings far beyond… 我喜欢淡淡地思念一个人，静静地将自己包围在沙发之中，任思绪在回忆里飘荡…… I like the subtle longing for a friend, when I sink deeply in a couch, mind wandering in memories of the past… 爱也要淡淡的。爱，不要成为囚，少是愁多也是忧…… Love should also be subtle, without enslaving the ones fallen into her arms. Not a bit less nor a bit more… 淡淡的一点友谊很真，淡淡的一点问候很醇，淡淡的一点依恋很清，淡淡的一点孤独很美，淡淡的一点思念很深，淡淡的一点祝福最真…… Subtle friendship is true; subtle greetings are enough; subtle love is tender; subtle longing is deep; subtle wishes come from the bottom of your heart… Crazy HorseYesterday I watched the famous show by the Crazy Horse troupe.
Venue: Boat Quay & Clarke Quay, Singapore
I really like the color theme-Scarlet. Just like the Scarlet Hotel in Singapore. 11 janvier Shanghai TripStraightened my hair on the day one. But Now I still tie it up every day. To Keep the neat feeling around the neck.
Celebrate mom's 60th birthday- I gave her my diamond earring (since I decided to save some cash as another gift), a bottle of CD essense lotion. Gerry brought mom some well chosen gifts too. I am soooo grateful for his kindness to my family.
Went to ChangZhou to see uncle and cousins. Went to Tian Ning Temple and Hong Mei Park, with father, Gerry and uncle. Had lunch and dinner at high-scale hotel dining facilities. Thinking my family is really a hospitable one. ^^ Every dish must be liked by Gerry as a priority- 'juanjuan, ask him what he likes. We are ok with everything'. So a lot of sour sweet pork and prawn dishes.^^ Cried on the way back talking about my late auntie with my cousin. The emotions intensified after death. But forever she is gone.Sometimes those tragedies make you think deeper. And arrived Shanghai at the strike of midnight of the last day of 2006. That is how I ulshered in the new year. Mom said "hope you will progress like the express train in the new year." Who knows maybe that is a good sign?
Accompanied Gerry to Hangzhou to see Carol and her baby. What a bouncing and lovely baby he is! Carol sure is a happy mom no matter how hard it is to take care of the baby herself. She looked a lit bit tired due to nights after nights' lack of sleep. But isn't that part of the great motherhood? There was another baby home which is 9 months old. Another boy, really big for the tiny petite mom, which is Carol's sis-in-law.
Brought Gerry to Shanghai Museum, Shanghai City Planning Exhibition Hall, Shanghai Book City, HuaiHai Road (Xin Tian Di), The Riverside Promanade (opposite the Bund, The Oriental Pearl TV Tower, The Hayyt Hotel, etc.), the Bund, and the Nanjing Pedestrain Street(East Asia Restaurant, and Old Jazz Bar). Saved the best for the last! Reviewed a lot of Shanghai and refreshed old memories.I am glad Gerry enjoyed Shanghai, HZ, and CZ. West Lake and Nanjing Road are on the top in the preference.So friends, next time please remember to bring Gerry to Nanjing Road!! haha. I am also relieved that Gerry made it to see Sandy, Irene and had good time.
Met U2 on the first day and had steamboat for dinner and tea in Wagas. Planned a lot on the training courses and other collaboration. What an enterprising youngster! We went to Dong Chang High School and looked around the building from outside. What a nice and nostalgic feeling it is! William (Jay) called! Soon he joined us for a nice tea session in the tea house. Really nice to feel the good feeling again-Good friends are always there for you, albeit the time and space.
Met Frank for a lunch and did little shopping. Thanks for the skirts and handbag. It was like a dream to shop with Frank. But surely he is a easygoing, amusing guy. A lot of laugh and sharing. He is forever that talkative. Dog and Hare, Cancer and Pisces, very compatible as friends or partners. Wish you prosperity in the new endeavour!
Met Hu Jie. Seems everytime I am home, I would run into her somewhere. This time on the bus, with her husband. Very strange feeling. :P She updated me that the sisters from the junior middle schools are getting married or registered. Some had babies already. But never feeling behind of them so far. Not yet!^^
Finally on the last day! Received Judy and Huili, my best girl friends. I really love my dearest girl friends. They are so darling and compatible with me no matter how different we are in character. I appreciate the humor of Judy and the calmness and down-to-earthness of Huili. I am so grateful I have them as my best friends.
Did not make it to see Bear, though invited to have the 'traditional lunch' with him. The next day there was the meeting with SuZhen from XiAn, stopped over in Shanghai and Alpha with wife, and U2. Almost confused my own timeline and that is why I ended up 'irritating??' Bear for not keeping the promise. :) Bear Bear, my dear friend, as I said: Friends are always there for each other.
Met Sam for sure. Had Christmas dinner together with Andy. Wow, what an honor to dine in the nice ambiance with both 'O's. ^^ Maybe Sam is shy to bring me alone for dinner. Haha...:P Had some nice massage sessions with the guys. Had nice time in Sasa, the place where we first dated. Had some heart to heart talk but still NO result! ^^ The only conclusion is 'Let it take the natural course'. Later K. pinpointed to me 'you just do not dare to face the reality.' Maybe I was truly over confident. Anyway, I really like the Tru. branded clothing as the X'mas gifts and later on the books. I am such a tall and skinny lady now it is really a nice fit to wear the dark moss green silk outfit made in Ita.
Met Mr. Han Xingyong and NingBo for lunch near campus. Got the copy of the thesis I 'co-wrote' with Ning.Now Ning looks much younger than before! Han was promoted to professor and the vice president of the business school. I am so glad for them. Had a sumptuous lunch treated by Han, with the graduate students studying under him. Was put on pedestal for being a 'capable woman'. Haha...I am not sure still why people all project such a image of me? I am not in the bone.But it was such a great time, though I was very tired after running around in the past two weeks. That was one day before I left hometown and came back to Singapore.
Went to the park twice this time to spend time with brother and friends. Distributed some chocolate from the USA to them. Very happy everytime to see those most lovely people in the park. Old people are like kids. They are easily happy with small treats.
Had some brief talks with K. Friendly and heart-warming.As time goes by, we all grow older and more mellow. Only the best memories will deposit and comfortably sit on the most tender part of the heart.
Really really fully scheduled and was not able to meet Stacey, and other friends who were on my agenda. As time went on and myself felt more and more exhausted day after day, I had to play it by ear. Though mom kept on urging me to write down my timetable, which I finally did and executed.
Last but not least, many thanks to my parents who were fully supportive of my activities and who always reach out when I need help. Now you should always feel that the best friends are your parents.
