why am i in shanghai?

yeah... so the link actually shows that i'm in this program call the 'nus overseas college', so for frens whom i've not updated, here i am in shanghai...

basically, i'll be here for a year to work and to study, to meet people and share the good news... and of course travel... then after that, i'm supposed to get a minor in 'technopreneurship' (chim word, i know) if there no 'accidents', that is...now i'm working for a company call AT Villa, italian firm that specialises in building lab facilities. schooling is in fudan... travel wise... hopefully go to as many places as possible... just been to huangshan... u all can see from my previous posting... the scenery is simply magnificient!

I could say that i'm really blessed to have the opportunity to come for this program. Y? cos is really an eye-opener for me to see the world... its really different here in shanghai compare to singapore or malaysia...

my hope for this trip is to learn as much as possible, especially in terms of what doin business in china is really like... and also to make valuable friendship... and to share the love of God with the people around me... and to expect that His will and His plan for my life to be reviewed to me more clearly...

till i see ya during CNY 2007... take care k?

a special day to my special 'J'

hooray!
22nd September today;
a very very special friday;
for me...

remember those times of countless screenplay;
two quivery shadows along the river sideway;
faint whispers found coming from the stairs;
suddenly it feels like yesterday...

"Father, in Your name pray;
thank you for leading 'J';
out of the miry clay;
into your perfect way;
reflect on her your glorious rays..."

till i see you next holiday,
from the bottom of my heart i say,
happy birthday!
my lovely princess, 'J'...

雨.伞

今天不知真么搞得,下了一整天一整夜的雨。低雾黑云的,真让人有股莫名,沉沉的感觉。

“啊!踩到积水了!”眼睁睁看着渐渐湿透的鞋子袜子,好无奈...只愿不会感冒才行。今天冷风的时速起码有30km/h罢,竟然把我美美的伞都吹成杯子,可以装于水灌溉田野了...差点变风筝。还是抓牢点儿,瞄准了风向,杯又变回了伞。高兴。

下雨天真不好受,似乎世界都减速斯的,至少一倍。人慢、车慢、时间也慢。好不容易下班啰!好多人等车哦!还是赶紧到前面一点,酱就可以头前几位上到车。哈哈。

“咦?”就在总多雨伞遮挡中忙乱仰望车号之时,竟有个妇人没伞。这些人真是的,见到身旁有人全身被零湿了,也不会帮忙遮一下吗?我想。身材太胖了吗?雨伞太小了吗?真搞不懂。人会生病的!于是,把伞稍微移到那人的头上。她好像很惊讶,呆了半晌。

“谢谢...”我没说什么,只是在想,这人不知有多久没领受过陌生人的恩惠了?在这城市里很难找吧?“你在等什么车呢?”我知道你很难看得到,视线都被伞遮去了。“219” “怎么不带伞呢?” “今一大早骑自行车来,没想到,所以没带伞。”

哦...

“我的车来了,我看我的伞给你罢!” 这次她又惊讶了,但反应却很快。“不要不要!”从她坚决的语气中,脸上也不禁露出了感激、尴尬,看来我不好勉强。

上了车,看见了打在挡风镜的雨水,有点后悔...

hi family & frens

Greetings dear family, bro and sis and frens. It has been almost a month since I have left to Shanghai. How's everyone? I'm very fine here. Thank God. Most of the stuff - housing, work, studies, C fellowship - are settled down finally. Hope to give u all more updates of what's been happening to me.

So for today, please allow me to intro to you my neighborhood. Well, I hope that you still can see the map clearly even though this is the best resolution I can get. heh. So yah, our (me and 3 other classmates) place is in Pudong, 浦东, next to the Century Park (世纪公园) and is very near the Shanghai Science and Technology Center, 上海科技馆 (a place where you get to see very beautiful Pudong night skyline). The nearest bus stop which leads to my workplace is around 500m walk away.

So everyday, walk and take bus to work. Workplace is also very near, about 3.5km. But i tell u, in the mornin, its about 30-45mins of bus ride. haha. cos of jam on the road and "in the bus". tell you more about it nx time.

7 mins walk is all that needed to go to the MRT station which can lead you to almost all parts of Shanghai. They really have quite a complicated and advance transportation system here...
