Back fr Beijing!
Hello all!!
i'm back fr beijing!!! it's been a rather exciting trip!
Health: Firstly, i was there with a really bad blocked nose n my gastric prob acted up, which they sent me to the suburb hospital.. which, they took an x-ray n blood test.... >.< quite over-reacting huh... (well well i've now been to taiwan hospital n beijing hospital.. wad's next? CHOy!!! i din wanna see a doc one.. but they force me...
Course: It's Very useful.. n interesting... :) learnt a whole lot... now is to apply wad i've learnt.. no matter which industry u're in.. actually it's really useful.. but i guess u learn better with the exercise.. whoever is keen can borrow the notes fr me :)
Change is good!!! (when with a positive mindset)
Had an experience working with colleagues fr thailand n beijing... i can't really say much.. but i think.. we dun really work well with the bj peeps... haha.. i can share my personal exp with u...
Food: Food there is not really exciting... got pretty bored.. cos we eat only at the resort and they only have a chinese n international restaurant.. as the resort is located at the suburb, there's nothing else nearby... beijing city is an hr car ride away... so.... eating out option is not an option..
Accommodation: Basically, everyday we have items to discuss/do during nite time... so didn't really have time to explore the resort area, miyun. Not much things anyway... haha.. that's their point.. to stop us fr hanging outside at nite, they choose a place with nothing nearby... there's only 1 night which we have no work n played the recreational activities in the resort... we played pool.. n for the first time, i tried archery. Not bad sia.. i quite like it, except it's VERY tiring.. hee hee.. n of cos.. we played bowling as well :)
On my last day, the course ended late afternoon. reached the beijing office at lido tower (yes it's called lido also) n went out for dinner... we had peking duck!! yum yum.. n it's indeed really nice.. quite similiar to wad we have in spore also.. n my quiet colleague actually ordered some chinese spirit called 二鍋頭. which.. i obviously stayed away cos it's 54% concentration!! KT got addicted to it though... hahha
But i really had a great time with my spore colleagues also... haha.. which the 2 guys we keep teasing them having a relationship... n i always call them kor when i needed their help with stuffs. haha... so they know better to siam when i call them kor... hahhaa
reached spore on tues 630 am.. thankfully my boss told us to take the day off.. which i used the time to unpack n see doc regarding my nose...
Sorry pals... my itinerary was too packed.. i totally have no time to buy stuffs at all... sighhh wad a pity.. i went all the way to china n i only caught a glimpse of the Olympics 'nest' and blue cube from the cab when it pass by...
only managed to grab a packet of lychee white choc fr the airport for 90 rmb... only when i open up the box then i realise there's only 10 pieces inside... wahhh so expensive! but they said it was nice.. so it's okay lah...
oh ya.. another side tip.... 10 rmb is enuff for tipping in BJ... lesson learnt from a 20rmb....
coincidentally... han also went to BJ for work the same day i arrive! but we're at 2 different areas.. n my area has NO train service... so no chance to meetup.. hhaha... so qiao
will see when KT kor pass me the trip photo then i can post it up.... given his speed.. i think he's gonna take weeks b4 he pass to me.... >.<
Meanwhile.. i'll help D kor to pray hard that he'll move off his 'old cheese' soon... he's a really nice guy.. too nice already.. so gers always bully him... poor thing.... doubt he'll see this anyway haha
N also... Xr dad in law to recover asap :)
