Week 1 @ work

星期一, JR and me had a day off before starting work, compared to other guys in GIP. Because he arrived later in the week, he didn't get to the place of cheap clothes before like us. Brought him to qipu 路, where they sell fake stuff and cheap clothes and it's a place that i bought a jacket and the zipper broke 2 days after. acks!! However, things there are cheap la.. so who cares, just buy wear and throw. Along the way to carrefour, we walked pass 世纪公园, it's a gigantic park and probably they nicest in spring.. must pay for entrance lor!












This is actually a day before monday, went to 人名广场 for a walk and fix JR's specs. He blame it on the cold weather that his frame broke, went to a place in nanjing lu to fix. It's amazing what they offer. To fix a pair of glasses you can either, use fire to weld, or laser to weld.

Fire cost 5 yuan, Laser cost 80 yuan.

JR took the latter, and it takes a week, hope it turns out good. :)







星期二, 1st day at work. we shared a cab together with some people staying in 万邦. The travel journey cost 32 元. Quite cheap!! Because the reporting time is 9.30 a.m., we didn't take the bus, however when we got there, we realise we were the last!! omg... cuz everyone took the free shuttle. 8 rmb in turn for 45 mins good sleep... mmmm!! shall take the shuttle next time!! Sucks to be late as well, cuz we got forms to fill and it took awhile, held back peoples time.. tsk tsk... Lunch time, we were treated by emerson's department bosses, they were very nice, brought us to a restaurant nearby, although i heard the HR lady monica telling the waiter 6 dishes to be served, there seem to be like 12+ dishes. Already, before we got in, there was already about 5 cold dishes on the table waiting for us. Becuz we are all new, it took awhile before everyone get started, and ready to eat. Paiseh ma, afterall in a foreign land. Good food just see, don't eat can liaos.
Tried something new and nice 玉米汁, corn drink, it's a drink, not soup, fyi!!
However this is not the best meal in my 3 days at work.





星期三, 12 pm, everyone gathered at the reception counter. Today is a treat by the evn bigger bosses, overall HR of emerson and other companies, like rosemount and marine solutions. The bosses are ang mohs and quite nice to talk to. However, sometimes, just imagine them in such a position, and thinking how much they earn, and the people they meet, you wouldn't wanna step on their toes.

Anyway, this meal is a whole new experience, Waitress waited for us at the lobby and invited us up to a 套房. Going in, the waiter helped us take out our coats and hang it nicely on a rack for us. There is even a toilet in the room!! Dishes were served in individual portions with like 12 dishes all together. There, I had 玉米汁 again, however this time, it tasted very different, it's thick and with fuller flavour compared to the restaurant on tuesday. Could be a placebo effect thou :P.

Evening, we order 外卖 with hx, wm, wl and tab. Quite cheap 8 元 for my mushroom beef rice. Tab got us some nice yummy cakes from cafe 85 and breakfast, which was very sweet. Got this very innovative picture took by JR. It's a wednesday, lazy to get out after a long day and I was sick!~~


Nothing much for today! However I saw ultra light snow showers this morning, and my first experience in the cookhouse. The food isn't too bad, best thing was it isn't as oily as what u get from outside, one can choose from many veges and meats they have. A couple selection of drinks and fruit which seems to be always 砂糖桔.. lol~~ Anyw, just after a week plus, i missed playing tennis. Seeing those people play on china tv makes me wanna get out to hit some balls and makes me think of back home. Thinking nick n ely is training up, when i get back, u can thrash e phat vinny. Miss u guys, please be well.
