It's been about a month.... A month I left my family and friends... A month I've stayed in Chengdu.... A month of totally new environment and people... And also a month of fun, joy as well as mixed emotions and feelings...(",)
Well, it's juz the way it is... There's still about 4 months before I can gather again with my family and friends... Really miss you all so much ya... Hope u all are doing fine too ya! (",)
Anyway, work and life is as usual over here.... Workload is getting heavier as the dateline is approaching, and life seems to get less interesting, maybe becos all these places and people are not'fresh' compared to the first day here ya... Haha, does it mean i'm becoming more like the locals here? Haha... (",)
But anyway, really learn alot from this overseas attachment... Being independent, being careful, in taking care of myself, in living and communicating with people... All these are not easy i guess, it's take time.... Seriously, communication needs more than juz understanding, but also tolerance, empathy, cooperation and much much more... It's may not be as easy as what i've say, but it's not as difficult as wat u thought it'll be too... Nothing is impossible right?
Recently, the sun over here in Chengdu is making his appearance more than before ya, but the rain is doing the same as well... It's getting more like our weather in Singapore ya...
Haha, today quite slack again... blogging during office hours ya, gee...shhh... Really bored without things to do mah... Haha, but ironically, I'll be having OT this weekend, on both full Sat and Sun... So it's a whole week of working this week... Sianzz.. But to look on the bright side, we may be having a week break next Monday for labour day... China got a whole week off for labour day, isn't it cool? Haha, however it's only cool if i get to enjoy this golden week (as they call it) as well mah...
Btw, i've also updated my yahoo photo album, feel free to take a look ya... Well den, that's all for now.... Everyone jia you for ur papers and work ya... Take care and miss ya.. *hugs* (",)
It's been like more than 2 weeks I've started my attachment and living here in Chengdu... So far still doing pretty fine here... Work and all... Already settle down here in this totally new environment and living with these new opp family... Hope everyone in singapore is also getting on fine ya...
Every weekdays here is pretty routine, where i'll wake up at 7am every morning, wash up, wake xueshan and the boys up, make some breakfast, get ready and take our catered transport to work... When reach office, make some hot tea, check email, do some blogging (which is what i'm doing now, gee), msn and den start working on my reports. After work, go for dinner and some shopping, den go home do clothes washing, watch tv/movie/dramas/anime etc...
Haha, pretty boring huh? But time seems to pass quite fast here... There's still so much places that we have not explore and so many things we haven play ya... Nvm, we got plenty of time here, there's still like 4 months plus here ya...
Btw, have u all seen my pics? What ya think? There'll be still alot coming up ya....
Dunno why, ytd the temperature here dropped suddenly, getting freezing cold again. Heard that Beijing there is having storm or tyhoon or dunno wat also... Today was very cold, fingers freezing now... And it'll get more cold tml onwards.... Hope the weather would turn better soon...
Alright, gonna get back to work le... if not can't deliver in time le... Everyone take care ya... See u all on msn or email or watever ya.... Take care!

It's been about 10 days since I've reached here ya.... So far, things are pretty fine over here... Haha, gonna a feeling that this entry will be very long ya.... Here goes...
Firstly, wanna thanks alot to all who came to send me ya... Really happy about it... and we took alot of pics as well ya... (",) *hugs*

dor, dun cry ya... u nearly make me cry also ya... hush hush, i'll be back soon ya... *hugs*
Right, so after we depart, had a flight of bout 4 plus hours, gee, i got a window seat..lucky! Nice view too... It was very cold when we arrived at chengdu, and was alittle dizzling... i was really freezing and shaking ah... even with 3 layers of clothing.... blurrr.... Only some days are better, with abit of sunlight.... Right now, my fingers are still numb ya....
Haha, alright enough complaints bout the weather, it's not everyday u can experience this in singapore, so juz try to enjoy the cold for now... Now to my life there, all the 10 of us are living in a apartment, quite similar to our 5 rooms apartment in S'pore... So far still doing fine ya, no fighting or anything, haha.... Everyday, we would wake up, had breakfast and leave for office together... have lunch together.. knock off and haven dinner together, do our errands and shopping together also... cleaning the house together, washing clothes together... haha... hope we wun get sick of facing each other everyday ya....
Now to our attachment.... all of us working in the same place, in a very big room but in different project teams... with denny, simon & xueshan doing j2ee, Alvin & YS doing C sharp, and me, leon, adrian, alex and paul doing sql reporting services... So far everything is still alright.... Our OIC and deputy GM are also singaporean... both of them very nice ya.. but the locals here are also very nice and friendly.... except for their way of speaking, still haven get used to it, even though that's mandarin as well.... So dun really understand.... Haha...
There's many shops and malls such as carrefour near our apartment, so we practically been shopping everywhere everday
after work.. Their food here is really very good and cheap, but .... all the dishes here are very very very oily, salty and spicy.... Haizzz... how am i going to slim down like this? Their food are practically soaked in oil ah... Despite this, for dunno wat reason, each of our meals are getting better each day... and i got a feeling this trend would still continue ah...hahaa.... Oh ya, the guys have also tried rabbit meat, i still dun really dare to ah... but i very tempted to try, cos they say it's very nice... hmmm....
Another thing worth mentioning is their traffic here ah.... wah, or rather i should say there's no traffic at all... the zebra crossing, traffic light crossing or road signs all no use de.. for show only.... cars can juz drive brush past u or drive on our walking pavement.... Seriously, if we are not in a big group, i would have been knock down few times a day le.... *sweat* Anyway, so far, all of us are slowly getting used to the food and liftstyle here le...
So over the last weekend, we went to Chengdu 'sim lim square' and 'orchard road'. Hey, it's not bad ah, really very nice..... and the things are really very cheap.... Haha, all of us are controlling not to convert to SG$, , if not we would overspend in no time ya... cos everythng is cheap sia. (",)
It's a boring cold day today, cos the requirements of my new report need clarification from the singapore client(Singapore Traffic Police) and they have not email us about it. But once the requirements comes in, we'll be very stressed up again...
Time here seems to pass so slow and yet so fast.. haha, dunno wat i writing also... anyway, weekends are coming, and this weekend we planning to go to the panda reserve center... it'll be very fun i think... Right now i still dun hav internet conn at my apartment, but soon we'll get it, and we can online @ night le ya... (",)
Alright, that's all for now... Maybe I'll post the other pics in my next post, cos i think it's getting too long le... and most other pics is in my laptop....So everyone, please take care ya... keep in contact through msn or email ya...
Miss Ya (",)
*hugs*
