*jun on the landscape - 新加坡

7.57 am: Updates:P

Have not been posting because I have been a little pre-occupied…but now I’m back:P

Just a quick update, I’ve since discovered that my tolerating that ugly uniform has its perks. 如果在南洋读书十年的我中文程度还是那么差，没上南洋的我一定跟差劲。我想让你们知道，虽然在北京大家都多多少少会英语，不过他们工作语言还是中文。昨天我花了8个小时读一些中文质料。如果文件是英文质料应该能在四分之一的时间爽快的把它读完，但因它们都是中文的我只好埋头苦干模模糊糊的慢慢阅读。很满意，我既然成功的把那些质料读完。开心。

In Singapore, only hard core fans of Chinese romance novels are amused by my name… here, where everybody is familiar with the genre, my name inspires immediate giggling and oo-ing… “你的名字好浪漫阿！” and“很出名的小说你听过吧，《有个女孩名叫婉君》。”On the upside, service staffs are usually so entertained by my name they are extra nice to me.

My office building is like across the road from my hotel. Guess they got the memo on my really bad sense of direction :P And after two days of crossing back and forth, I’m proud to say I now cross like a true Beijing-er. That is ‘by faith, not by sight’ :P Nothing stops; not buses, cars, bicycles or people…So if you want to cross the road, just visualize, BELIEVE that you will live, and then walk.

Had to get something from this super a-tas shopping mall yesterday. Took up so much of two sales-persons time that the entire mall closed its main doors before I was done harassing them. So I had to get out of mall through the employees’ entrance with the people that were serving me. Quite fun, the security guard checked to see if I had stolen anything from the mall.
