One Night in Beijing

23 Feb 06

Yesterday I mentioned about not worrying about not getting up the train. And fate has it that today, I got bumped off the train home, and the guys gotta wait for me at 四惠东 till I got unto the next one that came.

After lunch today, I went to the photo shop near my office, only to discover the neighbourhood developer is not always cheaper ... and that imbecile bugger actually charged me 3 times more than the one in town. Haiz ...

Also happened today, 白姐姐 from GIP office called to say they have arranged bus transport to bring all of us from our place to Peking University. She thought I was the rep for our area. That does not really matter. The thing is, I might have stepped on Mary's toes by not going to her to 'clarify' the transport thingy. Our previous understanding was that, the transport for us tml would be arranged by the office and would be foc. But then midweek, the office emailed us, telling us to make our way there ourselves, or they can suggest a charter that costs about 400plus RMB. I didn't make my enquiry with Mary and instead emailed back to SG to Tim to 'clarify matters'. All of a sudden, the bus arrangements came. I did not hear from Tim anyway. Sigh ... I feeling a bit bad about this whole thing. 毕竟，Mary did a great deal of work for us. If I get to see her tml at PKU, I think I should apologize to her.

Temperature today:
-3C to 6C

Lattes today:
2 shots

and we cooked dinner for 9 tonight. It was lovely. From a sample size of 4, 75% of sg women either don't cook, or prefer not to step inside the kitchen; to cook or to 善后.
