Day 581 of my blog...

Yesterday I did type everything for a new blog, when it's time to publish, it wouldn't get done, haha! Had to give up to sleep, I just published it now, hehe...

These days it's been really good weather, not too hot, not cold either, not too much sun shine, no rain either, hehe...

Same working day, tomorrow and after tomorrow would be off, tomorrow would be another ordinary shopping day as usual, haha!

After dinner went out with Dad, Mom and niece, for a little bit walk, good for health I believe, hehe...

I'm planning to buy a laptop, got interested in Lenovo, two options to choose, the one 10' monitor, and the other with 13', my uncle recommended me the 10' one, cousin's daughter said it's not good for eyes though, so I'm now bit confused, hehe... Tomorrow will go to the market to check, if the 13' one ain't too heavy, maybe I'll take it, hehe...

In the image it's another pic taken while going to Zhong Jie Market, it's at the street of Imperial Palace of Shenyang City, my city was capital city of pre Qing Dynasty in China's history, Man (Chinese pronouciation) people had been basing in my city before they entered Beijing and controled the whole country... In the pic it's just some shop, but built in imperial palace style...

Have a good day...

Day 557 of my blog...

Wow, I have been so busy on previous two days, seems off days are busy days for me, and working days are for relaxation, haha!

Last Saturday went to aunt's house, for celebrating Mother's Day, hehe... Got back home at already 9pm, really late, haha!

And yesterday went out with cousin's daughter, in the evening Mom gave us a treat, to eat some bbq downstairs, then I remembered I was having no apple at all, went to the market again, for apples, also bought some watermelon for Mom, since she likes it... And it's already all dark when I reached home, haha!

Today the weather's nice, not too much strong sun shine, little bit cloudy, no rain though, just a wonderful day, hehe...

Now nothing on my mind to write, better stop here, haha...

In the image it's another photo taken in the tea house, where there's the meeting Greek guests and government people... There are some traditional Chinese words written on the stone, hard for me to read though, hehe...

Day 627 of my blog...

In the morning I checked the weather prediction, 5-10C, another cold day, so I put on the winter trousers, haha!

Another rainy day, even till now, two days already, really a sign of spring, hehe...

No apple to eat at all, after work I had to go to the market, bought some apples, searched for the type of apples that Dad likes to eat, couldn't find though... I saw some small mangos, remembered of my niece, who likes eating mango, bought some for her... Then bought some tomatoes as well, since I always read from articles that it's good for health...

In dinner there were some delicious sea food, ate a lot, yummy, haha!

Another 4 days to go, to get a reat, not too long, haha!

In the image it's Tian An Men in Beijing, took the pic while I was sitting on bus, did think to have a visit, no time for that though...

These days on TV there's Kungfu TV series made in HongKong, which was showed in my childhood, now it's on TV again, like it very much, it also recalls my memory in childhood, hehe... Name of the program is She Diao Ying Xiong Zhuan, kinda long, 30 episodes or more...

Day 441 of my blog...

It's very cold today, went to the bank in the morning, yesterday boss told me to go there by myself, then inform him when I got the documents... So I went and took the documents of our company, then called him up, he said he's busy with some work, couldn't come to pick me up, so I went to the office by myself...

It took me half an hour to wait for the bus to come, my feet were hurting already, coz of the coldness, really was wishing it were not this much cold in winter in Shenyang city, hehe...

In the afternoon boss came to the office and told me my holiday would be starting tomorrow, so I'll be relaxing from tomorrow, really a good new for me, hehe...

In the image it's something in gate of a shopping mall in Tai Yuan Jie market, it's a Chinese word, which means "fortune", Chinese people like this word very much...

Day 425 of my blog...

Woke up at 7:30am again, seems I couldn't get up any earlier, haha...

Boss' wife made a phone call to the office, telling me to change my weekend holiday into Saturday and Sunday in this week, coz boss would be going to the sea port on Friday, maybe there would be something needful to me, so I would work 3 days more for rest, not a big problem for me, hehe... After two weeks there would be birthday party for my father, on Sunday, so I think next week I'll again have off on Saturday and Sunday...

Boss and his driver, plus his friends, all came at lunch time, had my food at nearly 1pm, really didn't like that but nothing I could do, haha...

The daytime is getting longer and longer, from tomorrow I wanna get off the bus one station before my home, and walk back, to exercise, good for health... Told Mom about this already, she said after Lunar New Year though, coz it's still not that light at 5pm...

In the image it's another pic taken in Tesco supermarket, I really need to take lots of pics, every day a pic for the same place makes me bored, haha...

Have a good day...

Day 287 of my blog...

Olympic is going to its ending little by little, didn't feel about that though...

We have another golden medal added up today, but the step is too slow, whole day one only, hehe... Anyway I'm happy, the Chinese girl who won the diving game looks so young and lovely, she's only 16 years old, hehe...

46 golden medals now, in Tesco supermarket last Thursday, I got a chance to be involved into a lottery, coz I had spent more than 78 RMB, the rule was to guess the total golden medals of China in 2008 Olympics, those who guessed right, would finally enter the lottery, I was guessing it's 41-45, today they already got 46, so I'm out, haha... However, I'm proud for my country, the more we get, the better I feel, hehe...

In the image it's something standing in front of Xing Long Big Family shopping center, some promotion for coca cola...

Day 285 of my blog...

A bit cool day, in the morning Mom asked me to wear two layers for keeping warm, I thought it might wouldn't be that much cold, so I just wore a pair of socks, to give some warmness to my feet... After going out the temperature wasn't that low, hehe...

Today all newspapers are talking about Liu Xiang, whole country's in deep sorrow for his tragedy, but it's ok, just wish him coming back to the race track after curing the pain...

We have 41 golden medals, now on TV it's a volleyball match between China and Russia, the winner will enter the top 4 ranks...

In the image it's another pic about Shenyang Imperial Palace, on the stone it's written "Shenyang Imperial Palace", and "World Culture Heritage"...

37 golden medals now

noreply@blogger.com (linda zhao) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 12:30:00 +0000

Day 284 of my blog...

From morning it's raining, till evening, temperature's bit down, I even felt cold on my way between home and office...

In the morning we watched the live video of hurdle race online, while seeing Liu Xiang left the racetrack I was feeling too regret and sad, couldn't believe it's real... I had been thinking he's facing too much pressure from Chinese people, though he would get bronze medal, I would understand him, or even worse, everything is possible in sport competition... However, I really couldn't imagine today it would be this kind of results, he quit the game without running due to the injury, so sad...

37 golden medals now, but without Liu Xiang's I'm feeling something missing...

Rain's stopped now, tomorrow might be a cooler day...

In the image it's a pic in front of Shenyang Imperial Palace...

Have a good day...

Day 283 of my blog...

Yesterday went out for shopping, bought one luggage box and an umbrella, bit happy, hehe... The luggage box is from a brand named as "American Tourister", the shop assistant was saying they have lots of service after sale all around the world, I checked the manual book, even there's service center in United Arab Emirates, where I'm gonna go for a business trip, one or two months long, I like this luggage box, they have 3 years warranty, I can easily get it repaired, hehe...

The umbrella is for protection from sun radiation, nowadays it's a fashion now, at least in my city, to hold an umbrella in the sun, people care about the skin more, hehe... So I also bought, good for health, not a bad idea, hehe...

We have 32 golden medals now, now on TV there's women team final for table tennis, between China and Singapore...

In the image it's another promotion activity from coca cola, one guy was climbing up the bottle, hehe...

Day 281 of my blog...

Today I got up super late, 10:40am, haha... Last night I went to bed near 12pm, maybe that's the reason in the morning I couldn't get up, but hadn't thought of that it would be this much late, haha... Anyway it's good, got quite enough rest for myself, as long as I'm on off from job today, hehe...

Noon time I called up the language school, there would be Korean language class in the afternoon, I decided to go and study, around 2pm I went out, but then I found out I had left the student card inside the house, lazy to come up and go again, so I missed the class, bit pity, but what to do, haha...

Today we have 24 golden medals now, not that many added up, but it's ok, I'm proud of my country, hehe...

Also I feel happy for Du Li, who lost the match on the first day of Olympics, today she successfully got a golden medal, in rifle, after so much tear for the first day, I see her smiling pic while standing on the stage for the golden medal...

Day 278 of my blog...

To my surprise there's no rain today at all, they did predict yesterday that there would be again rain today though, according to my experience, weather prediction can't be that correct all the time, hard to tell what's gonna happen in future, hehe...

My niece likes to wear our shoes very much, seems she likes big shoes, haha... Right now she's wearing my Mom's shoes and walking inside the house, funny and lovely, hehe...

Collecting money for lunch

noreply@blogger.com (linda zhao) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 12:39:00 +0000

150th day of my blog...

In the morning it's raining again, I got up late, didn't wash my face, and went out to the office, haha... At lunch time I was again lazy to wash, so I think today my face has been very dirty, haha...

Before lunch time one colleague was asked by boss to go somewhere quickly, but while changing her clothes in the morning, she forgot to took out the money from the clothes she left at home, there wasn't any money with her, she asked the accountant to lend her some money to take taxi, she had just 50 RMB in her pocket at the moment, around $7, she gave it to her for her urgent work... But after her going out, the accountant started worried, she didn't have money for lunch, haha... She was searching and searching, then found 3 or 4 RMB coins, haha... I wasn't having money in my wallet as well, last Saturday while having dinner with cousin's daughter, I used all my cash... I go home for lunch, no need of taking money, so I didn't withdraw any money yet, I finally found 2 .5 RMB, 2 coins of 1 RMB, 1 coin of 0.5 RMB, she borrowed 1.5 RMB from me, which was very small par value money, haha... We both were laughing for this situation, hehe...

In the image it's some decoration I saw in front of one shoe store, two snails, looking so cute, hehe...

Have a good day...

Letter of Credit

noreply@blogger.com (linda zhao) — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 12:45:00 +0000

day 63 for my blog...

In the afternoon went to the bank, the company needs to open an L/C (letter of credit), for the import trade... The lady working there gave us some forms to fill, among which there's one electronic form, she sent throught internet to my hotmail inbox, I kept studying the form since 4pm to 6pm, till the time for me to come back home...

As what I know, L/C is a very common way to realize international trading, which is safer, easier, and quicker... buyer gives the bank payment of the seller, and the bank guarantees to the seller that the buyer has already given the amount, then the seller starts shipping the goods, when the good gets delivered to the destination sea port for the buyer, bank will send the payment to the seller... Anyway, it's just my knowledge, wish and hope there ain't any misteaching inside...

While walking in the bank, I saw some beautiful things, but was in a hurry, so I only took one pic, inside which there are two vases, should have stood more closer, but other colleagues and manager were also there, I should have not taken others' time to wait for me to take pics...

Have a good day

January 8th, 2008

business

noreply@blogger.com (linda zhao) — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 13:20:00 +0000

62nd day for my blog...

Today met the Kuwait person once again, thought he'd gone, but still here, haha... He bought office here, and registration for branch office of his company of Kuwait is processing... He wanna settle some business here, since his wife is Chinese, who's Shenyang citizen...

While studying, I was the person who disliked business, wasn't that interested in this field... However, after couple of years of working experience, I also think about opening my own business now... Ain't that easy task, also not possible at the current time, lack of many condition, but I do look forward to doing it in future... Through what I saw in the past, owner has to bear more burden than the employees, no off day, no enough time to rest... So I'm planning when I get enough money, I'll start a business and hire somone to manage it, so I will still have my own time, coz rest is very important for me in life..

It's another pic taken from the museum... Jade article, people antient China believed if they wore jade article there would be safety and good luck, they wore it like necklace...

Have a good day

another peaceful day

noreply@blogger.com (linda zhao) — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 12:27:00 +0000

day 47 for my blog...

Bit cold, still weak, got up late, also was very slow while going to the office, reached there nearly 10am, haha...

Since yesterday evening till now didn't take any medicine, I don't like it, I heard that any medecine which cures some disease, might influence some other part of the body, sometimes if I get sick lightly, I don't have any pill, until it gets well by itself, haha... I felt not that much bad, so stopped eating tablet, let it recover by itself, might sound bit strange but I just do like this...

Took that pic yesterday in front of one shoe store in the market, looking lovely, and they play with the customers sometimes...

Have a good day

Day 17 of my blogger...

Yesterday didn't mention the folllow up of the translation case... Night before last I called the person to come to msn, coz I was gonna talk about the images that he sent to me, he said ok, but I waited and waited, still didn't get him online, while it reached to near 10pm, so I left offline messages to him, telling the images he sent through emails, ain't clear, I couldn't read the words, and asked him to resend them, then I logged off and left the computer...

After about half an hour he called my mobile, saying I wasn't online, haha... I told him I had waited for quite a while, still couldnt' see him coming online, so I left... And I mentioned unclearness of the images, then he said he only got the photocopy available with him, which is not that clear, the original is with his director, then I said that's ok, leave it... After that I asked about resume of his company, he didn't know how to write resume for company, I said I would collect the question about the information that we would like to know, then send to him, he just had to reply the questions, instead of edit a resume, we got agreement upon this...

Yesterday I collected the questions and sent him through email, but until now no answer from him, seems it does take time to get done...

Building in the pic is the apartment where I live, winter here, snow fell down couple of days ago, still somewhere ground is covered by white color...

Have a good day
