遇見

I never thought I would see that person again, 想不到在萬萬人海中也能遇見.
We chatted for awhile, however it felt strange and awkward. We were both very surprised, since we haven't contact each other for around 5 years. More clearly, i think its after my "accident", i felt that i don't really belong to that group of people anymore because i kind of felt i was being isolated and betrayed. Now, I did became more maturer, therefore, 吃, 喝, 玩, 樂和遊戲人生 is not what i want to do anymore. Although there is still no luck on job hunt, so i guess its time to switch to Plan B.

22

2009 is almost over. Turning 22 on October 29. Hope on my birthday will have some good news on the interviews la. Otherwise my plan for next month is to find an internship, at the same time a whatever part-time job to solve my financial problem.

Had a spectacular night at Moxies. Since we waited a long time for the table, so we got an appetizer for free!!

Interviews

Its been 2 months since i started mailing my resume and cover letter to Design firms. At the end of August, I had the privilege to have an interview with one of the top interior design firm in Toronto. However, there is no word from them after the first interview (although they said they would like to have a second interview with me). Still, after this experience, I learned alot about what to prepare, the type of question they are asking and what they focus on the most during interview.

Its been awhile since my last interview in August. Yesterday, after my trip to GZ, I received a phone call from an Interior Design Firm ^.^ Also, there was a firm contacted me while i was away and now we are trying to rearrange another time so we could meet. Seriously, I never thought they will reconsider me since i was in GZ when they contacted me. Lucky!!!

So, i guess i will be busy this weekend for interview preparation, getting my letter of recommendation from Jeremy (my Thesis prof) on monday and Interiview on Tuesday.

Back in Toronto

Back in Toronto. Tired and still having a little jet lag. 3 weeks in GZ is definitely not enough. Well, next time i go back, i will probably going to stay for at least one month.
Things that are common in GZ:

• "炒花擦蟹" is the most common greeting phrase
• lineup?! what's that?
  
• talk and laugh loudly like they own the restaurant
  
• enjoy gathering with family and friends, solving their problems and knowing each others business
• crossing the road fence like 劉翔
• smoking in the mall
• staring at ppl
  
• and many more ... ...
  

Me and my cousins @ GZ

GZ

After the long hours of flight, I'm finally arrived at GZ. When I first stepped out of the airplane, the heatwaves had already caused me headache. The temperature is hot and dry. The street is jammed with cars and people. The whole city planning is a mess. Since the Asian Olympic is going to be in GZ next year, therefore, alot of streets and major routes are undergoing huge renovation. Dust and Dirty are flying everywhere. argh........ There is nothing (other than foods) i like about GZ.

Grandma is able to come home from the hospital. She recovered alot. However, she needs to go back in two weeks to do the cancer treatment (which is going to be very painful). Right now I'm living at my aunt's place. Its weird that I cannot login to facebook and youtube, because stupid China blocked all those sites due to Chinese national day on October 1. Very Pathetic. >.<

The Bench Routine

One of the best performance/dance on So You Think You Can Dance by Heidi and Travis Wall. Choreographed by Mia Michaels.

離開，是為了回來

Leaving on 09.17.09
Coming back on 10.13.09

On one hand i'm extremely excited for going back this time, because its been five years since the last time i visited GZ and Hong Kong. However, i'm anxious and depress at the same time because of the illness my grandma got. Well, I guess this is life.

If i don't go back this time, who knows how long i need to wait once i find a job in Toronto.
All i can do is to enjoy this trip to GZ as much as i can, forget about job hunt for 3 weeks and just relax. For some reason, I felt it is destine that i must go back this time. I don't know why. This might sound absurded, but somehow I can feel it. hahahaha. Anyways, maybe good fortune will happen like interviews *cough, cough* once i come back. hehehe


留低是個選擇　離開亦未算放開一切壓抑

searching ...

Its September already, I missed the days of school. Thesis, piles and piles of work and during those time, sleeping became a distant memory. However, I still enjoy every second of it, because I have a goal that I need to achieve. Last year in my birthday, I made two wishes. One came true, the other one, well, I think I need to wait a bit longer.

Its been two weeks and still no reply. I guess its not going to happen. Therefore, I'm planning to go back to GZ and Hong Kong for 2 or 3 weeks to visit my relatives, most importantly, my grandma. Its been 5 years since the last time I went back. GZ changed a lot. The street, people and building etc... I felt I don't really belong there anymore. Maybe I got used to the western culture of living where everything move at a slow and serene pace. After this trip, I wouldn't be going back for at least another 4 years. So it is the last time I can see my grandma. sigh.

Last night went to Go For Tea with Dan, Kin and May. And congratulation to Kin for successfully entered the police training school after one month of waiting. They all said sometimes no news means good news, because that means I am still on their waiting list, rather than sending me an email say I am being rejected. Hope they are right la.

Beautiful weather this week, yet I want it to rain.
