Sick

Dear Bloggy,

It is Friday night and I'm really glad that it is finally weekend. On Monday night I went to a mobile industry forum in downtown, and once I got home I got fever and headache again. :( I was then basically sick at home on Tue and Wed. Finally got better on Thur and able to get back to office. This morning I had to go to a hospital. I couldn't entirely understand what the doctor or the nurses were saying as they are speaking fast with northern dialet... and very rude too. I didn't even dare to ask them anything second time. I hate Beijing even more. :(

I feel so poor when I was sick and somehow wonder why I'm here at all. I got no family or friends here to help when needed. While being sick there are still work, financial and housing issues to take care of... I hate being alone.

But I think God's Grace is always enough. I am still coughing much but feel much better than the past few days. Hope I would be able to find a suitable apartment this weekend.

Pray for me.

Out of shape

Dear Bloggy,

I am still coughing non-stop :( I just feel that I've been sick for too long, and also too frequent recently. I've been traveling a lot and I couldn't find time for exercise.... ar~~~ I guess that's just excuse. I need to find time to exercise and eat more proper food....

Because I couldn't get the landlord license from the housing agency I need to find a place to move, otherwise I wouldn't be able to enjoy the tax benefit. The new tenants whom I met have already moved in. They are also from Canada. Mom (Lilian) is a professor teaching MBA at McMaster University, the Son (Alex) is a teenager coming here to Beijing to learn Mandarin. They are nice people and I'm happy that there are people in the apartment. It feels pretty weird in the last couple of days living in such a big apartment all by myself.

Work is busy too. There are so much things to do and so less time. I need to come up with a strategic plan for HK/TW, handle a pub issue, plan for a major acquisition and finish up some business analytics all within this week. Together with the apartment-hunting and recent bad health, I feel overwhelmed. :(

Oh so long

Dear Bloggy,

Oh so long soooooo long my dear Bloggy. How are you doing?

I haven't updated you for almost 4 months. So much have happened during the past few months. So many pleasant memories and inevitably there were also sad moments. But that's what makes life interesting isn't it? ;)

I've finally done with MBA (yay! :D) and is now working for Google as an Account manager looking after the Hong Kong and Taiwan market. I also need to do some business analytics to support management decisions. I'm still sick these days (still coughing badly =( ) and I guess it has to do with my traveling around too much these months. There are apartment issues yet to be settled but apart from that things are going pretty well. :) Now I'd like to focus my energy and do some good work while I'm here in Beijing.
