Some walks of life - special people that I met in my Journey

Last weekend, I went for Bhopal and cities around them for 3 days.

I met 1 monk,1 parliament officer, 7 Indians from varies cities, a big family group (which travel in more than 70 people...), and a group of Indian university students.

The monk traveled Sanchi stupas with me, thanks to a random meeting at the train station. It is surprised that the 50 year old monk can speak good English , as before he was a doctor. I didn't ask much about his past, but I know that he likes Buddhism very much. He come to Sanchi only to worship the sources, and the first propagation of Buddhism in India.

I also met a Parliaments office at Bhopal, she helped us a lot to call a taxi. It is not easy to arrange a taxi at there, especially you are a tourist which supposed to be "rich". She needed to shout, persuade and argue with the taxi driver. Though we didn't get a bargain, we have a nice trip to an ancient cave thanks to her.

I come across an Indian family, with a lovely girl which can speak some English and love to speak with forigner. It is hard to find such naive yet friendly girls in India. More than 70% kids that I come across is the begger in the street asking for "Sir...kanar...kanar..", which means asking for food literally, but in fact means money...
I don't like to give money to begger, but this time I just give this girl money even she didn't beg for it. I believe this Hong Kong money ,the first foreign currency that she saw in her life,
can bring some impact to her global view, to be more interested to the world and realize how much India can be improved and can be utitlized.

I saw the biggest travel group that I seen in my life. During travelling back to Delhi by train,
the more-than-70 groups is in fact belongs to same families with relatives. They are quite friendly and create a happy atmosphere when i back. I also come across with a group of helpful students from Delhi University, a nice chat help me understand more about Indian education system.

Everybody can see the same tourist attraction, but with a different & unique experience.
Thank to these people who had helped me and make my trip special, enjoyable and unforgettable.

What I learn most in India......

Yesterday started a random conversion with one of my Polish friend Barbara,
we shared lots of our views of India to the New U-59 comer Yasmina from Morocco, and what we learnt in India.I though India has trained up my negotiation skills (from rickshaw drive), cookery (from the rice-cooker), but the life-changing one for sure is : let-go attitude (together with crisis management)

I born in Hong Kong , and before I learnt how to organize things and make plans. In India, you can still organize you own things and make your own plan. But the external force from the amazing country will keep challenging your patience. To the national level India has the most delayed airport in the world #1, to the inter-state level you have trains which has 2 times: scheduled arrival and expected arrival time, to the private transport you have a rickshaw driver which always lost the ways, and at the end of the journey he will keep argue with you about the price, not to mention in business meeting someone can be late for 10 + minuters which is "normal", including those included senior meeting....

What can you do, when you detail plan being mess up with the delay of transport, the jam in traffic and late of meeting?
1. Take pictures in the environement.
2. Read Books
3. make another meeting.... and meeting :)

Let it go, Let it be.
For the life in India, for part of my past.....

Interesting Friend?

Working at company till 2100, but Carman Ho MSN me and ask me, if I find any intesting people in India.

Since I moved into U-59, my lovely home in Gurgaon, the poor organized business hub in Delhi, I met lots of interesting people in U-59 and in India : People who love beer so much that can live in desserts for the rest of one's life ,with the supply of beer, People who love girls so much that decided not to marry but always keep fu.cking girl for the rest of life, People who not keen on having family decide not to get marry and have baby, and people who value family so much that will go back to one's hometown when the family needed some help, no matter what happened in job (though in India it is commmon for married people to live with their parents), Everyone has different values, but we can be friend, that why I enjoy in U-59.

But still, like my friend mentioned to me before, friendship in U-59 is quite intense. You can develop life-long friend and experience most cycle of friendship within a short period of time: greeting,understanding, developing, seperating/stabilizing....

My friend which are not in India , how are you??

By the way, nice chat Ho Ka Man ;)
U-59 Friends & Co.

Galaxy Mall has a nice pub!

If I can choose between party and pub, I prefer the later one..

In party, you have chances to meet some cute girls, but dancing is not my cup of tea if dance with strangers.

But in the pub with nice beer , happy chat with my friends is the best way to spend a Saturday night, especially after OT on Saturday due to the shitting deadline on next week.

I love the sweet taste of the beer, every beer at here is made by itself, together with some soft rock is the best!

P.S This is the micro-brewery pub, with the theme of cricket !You can see how they served the tester of the pub, in the cool shapre of a bat!

New year feeling has come!

It is so surprised that every body is so hard-working today.

At 12:30pm, the cafe supposed to tons of people, but ONLY 4 people sitting there & eating.

To my surprise today has the most meetings in my working life, including my boss which never have meeting for 2 months start meeting. And the clients which I never expect will reply also ask me to do something. So suddenly I have 4 projects on-going.

This must because of new year, everyone is full of hopes and dreams want to realize it asap in 2009, which comes 1 week late...

A day of food and happyness ;)

A happy day, nice breakfast,
Thanks nancy for the crazy and joy that brings to us, wish you all the best in bangalore!

TBC.....

My internship

I remembered in my secondary school there is a famous scientific term called Brownian Movement, where particles move randomly to hit each othere.

In fact, all of us know that not only particles, lots of things happen in life are random.

Today, I received a email ,as usual, about whether I am interested to take a project or not. I didn't expect much about this as I thought it would be another shitty task again, but still I stepped up and went to the meeting. The task turned out to be adding lots of favour to the CV, even I could not take it due to lack of , but I am happy I make a wise choice of paying effort to grab this chance and have no regret.

Although life is random, but randomness also have a range of movement, which is called mean.
I just certified that my "mean" in this internship, as sensed before, is occupied with brainless job.

But I will not give up!! I am waiting for the extrema (in a positve way) to come, that's what I can do.

A new start of 2009

It has been more than 1 years that I haven't written a blog. I used to write blog at ICQ when other doesn't do, and stop writting it when others start writting it. At the beginning of the year 2009 , it is a good time to start with.

Looking back in 2008, I have done lots of things
1. Start working for a part time which can add value to me CV : Saleperson in Hang Seng Bank and Game Coach in Balanced Intelligence , temp job at UST MBA & Global Source
2. Completed my 19 years of study and begin to be part of the working force.
3. Try to against all difficulties and push a new idea, it fails but accumulate experience for latter generation.
4. Experienced the taste of "double lost" (lost your career & your job) since graduate for 3 months.
5. Saw the China paralympic & visited Beijing & Taiwan.
6. Higher expecatation to lots of things around me, no matter at work or using my free time
7. Enjoying my life in India.


In 2009, I wish I can:
1. Every week in India go to the Gym at least once.
2. Better my prounication of English, improve my Vocab of Mandarin & conduct basic conversation in Spanish.
3. Care more about my friends & family, if chance come will pay full effort to love someone.
4. Utilize my internship time to hunt for a better job
5. Each month learn 3 new dishes in Chinese,Indian or western ;)

Lets see what my life will be after 1 year , how much i will achieve.
