oh my, its been 2 days since I last made an entry. I am not busy at work. I was just bogged down with the 1st Finance Assignment. Spent like Monday and Tuesday day and nights figuring out the Finance Topics in the book and doing the Assignment, but eventually, still alot of questions eluded me!
Anyway, my dad came to town on Monday morning. Met up with him for dinner on Monday with Uncle Lim and his wife. Tuesday he went to Zhe Jiang and so did not meet up. Today was able to get time to go bring him around after the morning class at Fudan. Went to Xiang Yang Market to walk around a bit bought Ties! (RMB 10 each). Dinner was at some Chinese Restaurant at Xiang Yang. Food was so-so, but the price was not that cheap. Once again, had Da Zha Xie, though this time the crab was really petite and it cost RMB 45 (female one with more Roe). I guess the most value for money one was still at 88 Restaurant (RMB 25 each, though its for the male one).
Went for a massage with him cos’ he wanted. Ended up I was in pain most of the time because of the massage of the lower back again. ‘Lou Song’ – whatever that was … kept rubbing so hard to “loosen” my muscles or whatever there and its was PAIN! My dad, he was sound asleep and was even snoring very loudly in fact! Still ache! Ouch!

During dinner, I asked him if after 10 months whether he thought I have changed. He said (kind of with alot of influenced from Asiaworks) that I will always be the same … “A Nerd (as will every one be)” Probably only can become wiser or more experienced, but still the same. Quite true, yar? Was discussing about the opprotunities in the future, and what I can do, etc … and I concluded that I still don’t know. Why? I have not found that “Thing” that I am most passionate about.
I told him that there were 3 main objectives of coming to Shanghai:
1. Experience and learn about the business environment in Shanghai (China)
2. Learn about the start up process in Shanghai (China)
3. Explore opportunities in Shanghai (China) that I can go into
However, out of the 3, I think I have only achieved 1. Its not that I have achieved 1 objective, but I achieved bits and pieces of some of the objectives. There was some experience in learning about the business environment in Shanghai, managed to learn abit about the start up process (not enough of course to immediately start one), and have found some opportunities. So, that makes about 1 (combined) objective (1/3 from each of the 3).
Anyway, on another note … passed a whole bunch of books to my dad to ask him to bring back to Singapore. Yea! So, now I think I have reduced my weight by about 10kg already. Phew!
and finally on a “whiny” note … went to school and finance assignment still not fully understandable. Came home and went to cut my hair and ended up with a very bad hair cut. That lady was totally useless at cutting hair. Argh!!! Wanted to nap, but dad was free already, so went to meet up with him instead. Went to Capitaland to meet one of his supplier he is meeting and I bumped in to Charmaine (Still looking good and working Hard, ah!). … and the story lead you back to the front!
