Wee!
Yesterday was the first day of work for me after a gruelling 3 day course in Chinese which encompassed 12 hours of lessons everyday with only 1 miserly hour of lunch and half an hour of dinner in between, To makes things worse, they had to conduct the whole bloody course in Chinese and the notes were in TRADITIONAL CHINESE. Goodness! We had to survive a 80 MCQ exam at the end too. Which somehow all 3 of us here miraculously passed. I seriously wonder how? As i barely managed to finish reading and answering all the questions. But oh well. Hahaha.
Today, i was asked by the HR to go for a mandatory healthcheck as prescribed by the company and the local government. I was chauffered to the hospital (In Shenzhen City, an approxcimnately 45 min car ride from the workplace). The ride there was considerably uneventful with the usual jams, bad driving etiquette and loads of horning. The only more "exciting" thing that occured had to be the "妈的!" that my driver screamed out after a bright white flash, where he asked me if he was photographed by the traffic police for smoking and driving at the same time. I was actually genuinely shocked. Not because he asked me the question or at how similar the laws are compared to Singapore. In fact i was amazed that the police would even be bothered with smoking with driving when the road conditions of extreme reckless driving, ridiculous overtaking and an occasional vehicle driving in the OPPOSITE direction.
That's all for now. Getting reallly tired from the work and all. Will update more on me living here soon.
Ciao! Moo~~~~~
