One Night in Beijing

29 June 2006

Today, I have finally finished all the drafting and have submitted my IA report. I have no more reports or essays to submit liaoz!! After soo many late nights and lost free time ... now I can concentrate on the World Cup without typing on my laptop.

During the 2-3 weeks time where I had school work to do after work, many things had happened ...
We had a dialogue and networking session with Minister Tharman and a delegate of businessmen.

Chek and me, at the dialogue.

We have also graduated from 北京大学. This picture is taken at the graduation lunch.

At our table. It was Bao Zhen's birthday as well. I think she had the greatest birthday of them all who celebrated their birthdays in Beijing.

Back at work, sigh ... very pek chek. I am now delayed and dragged down by circumstances I have no say and control over. My 工作能力 already 受到肯定, but now my 工作效力受到怀疑, feeling quite in the pits over that. Then my mentor came over to 'check' on my progress even though she already knew that I could not have possibly have progressed anyway, and then whispered (really very softly) to me that I should probably not surf net too frequently. Sigh ...

I still went online. I can't possibly bring a book there and read, or worst still, watch DVD or wat right? I managed to finish reading 张爱玲's 《倾城之恋》. Here are some classic sentences from the小说 which I've adapted:

"一个女人，再好些，得不着异性的爱，也就得不着同性的尊重。女人们就是这一点贱。"

"你最高的理想是一个冰清玉洁而又富于挑逗性的女人。冰清玉洁，是对于他人。挑逗，是对于你自己。如果我是一个彻底的好女人，你根本就不会注意到我。"
