tonight is farewell party for a coworker in our team, he has been working in this company for over five years, everyone feels regret that he is leaving, though i haven't know him for long, only three weeks to be exactly, but i have the same feeling as well, we went to eat sashimi for the first round, then karaoke.

it is girls' night tonight, the girls from my previous company called me the other day, to talk about getting together sometime before totally 2010 passes by, so here we are tonight, six of us, with only two days left in front of us.

all for new job

I couldn’t decide whether it is good or not to be in charge of a whole project all by myself. I have worked here for almost three weeks, all I had done by now are:

Attend some meeting with SMR China and USA

Answer emails, or translate them and resend

Revise documents

All the things I have had done so far are totally irrelevant with the design engineer title, this fact is starting to make me wonder if I’m really doing something here. So yesterday, when the head of our department asked if anyone want to have a project all by ourselves since there happened to be one right then, I said yes to that. I know if I ask any of my friends if I have made the right decision, they would say yes, also I have kept asking myself this question today, I couldn’t say this is not a perfect chance for me to improve my design skill, and the perfect time too, then why am I so nervous and kinda regret....

A few pictures I took outside of my apartment this morning. All roads and trees turned white, all I wanted to do was to make a snowman back then.

And for tonight, i had dinner with 경진언니, we haven't seen each other for a while, so there are so much to talk about and to share, we had spicy chicken feet, and then coffee afterwards.

Street food

I was super hungry on my way home last night, that’s when the street food outside of metro station caught my eyes, with the steam of the hot soup coming all over me, I know I couldn’t resist it on this cold weather, they are very convenient and cheep, something l like here

First time snowboarding this year

Finally the weekend arrived, after five days’ hard working and little sleep, all I planed to do was sleeping for two whole days, but as always, a plan is just a plan..

Normally my roomie and I would order takeout on weekends, like fried chicken or a large pizza or some Chinese food, but today we decided to use our kitchen for a change, we made tofu with cooked kimchi, and kelp soup as well, it is nice to have a homemade dinner once in a while.

As for Sunday, kihyun surprised me by calling me to go snowboarding together all in a sudden, I had wanted to go snowboarding since the opening of ski resort two weeks ago, so this is the offer I couldn’t say no even though I know I would be very tired on Monday. So five hours of snowboarding, here I am……

it was quite a suprise to see the snow falling down slowly when i went out to work in the early morning, i didn't get to check weather report that day, so that's definitely a pleasant present, i really wished that the snow wouldn't vanish during the day, but unfortunately most of them melt by noon...luckly for me, i had my camera in my purse, oh yeah...

with my high heels on, i had to walk super carefully to avoid humiliating myself by falling over. thank god that didn't happen after all. winter season is officially coming, it's time for me to change to my snow boots.

during the night, the company had a welcome party for our five new commers, we had Ginseng Chicken Soup, in that shop they had the chicken cooked in an exceptional way, with shrimp, all kinds of shell and squid boiled together with chicken, the soop was very delicious, i'm drooling all over again right now...

2010.12.15

Since it’s Thursday, this means that I have worked three days now, it is still my first week, I find myself tired than ever before. Now my sleeping schedule and resting schedule all have been changed, I have to wake up at 6am every morning, this is actually killing me, I try to go to bed at 11pm, but this is not easy, since some of the days I have to work late, I don’t know how long would it take for me to adjust this new time table, let’s just pray. And, right about now, I just hope the weekend could come a little faster.

I got off from work before 6pm yesterday, which is the only benefit for a new member so far, so I decided to go to the supermarket for some grocery shopping, it was quite nice during this time of the year, with the Christmas is coming soon, they have separated a zone for kids, all kinds of presents pilled up, and they are in pink boxes.

relaxed weekend

woke up at 12:30pm, i had a really good sleep last night, with the sunshine full fills the house, everything feels unreal, i'm all in a happy mood right now.

i bought a board last week, and planed to put some photos taken during the last two years here, due to the busy schedule with the new company, i had no choice but to postpone the original plan. so it comes to today, i finally manage to finish it, staple every photos to the board, all those memories come forward.

after this, i made myself kimchi fried rice with an egg topping, yummm~

out-planed first day

my original plan is this: go to bed at 10pm, wake up at 6am the next morning (which gives me 8-whole-hours-rest), so that i could be in my best condition for the first day at SMR Bucheon Institute.

as the old saying goes "计划没有变化快", which means nothing could be planed perfectly, all my plans went down the toilet in the last minute, arised from a phone call from kihyun, telling me that he was gonna meet seyoung during that night.

so, here is what really happened on thursday night: unloaded my baggage at 8pm, went out again and met with kihyun, seyoung, haogen and jinhun around 9pm, drunk till 12pm, went to bed at 1:30am, got up at 5:50am,

with two obvious dark circles under my eyelid, i had started my first day at Bucheon Institute...

SMR training

I finally have finished my training at Ochang head office, me and the other three members spent all four days in the factory on the ground floor, even though we had been quite tired through these trainings, there are all kinds of valuable experience acquired that couldn’t be neglected, I found myself already miss these training days.

We ate all the three meals at company eatery, I was amazed to find out that the eatery here also belongs to the same chain store that serves KITECH, which means they all have the similar flavour, usually I’m not the kind of person who is nostalgic, but after the ten days vocation between SinhanTech and SMR, I miss that taste a lot.

Another thing i will miss from this training is the hotel i had slept for almost a week, to be honest, i didn't sleep well and always was sleepy the next day during this week, but when i realized that i would no longer be in this particular room any more, all these bad memories suddenly faded away, i'm gonna miss u, the mini purple sofa, the fake fireplace and the vintage floral decoration.

cupcakes in jars

here is what I found today, yummy red velvet cake in jars, it is such a fascinating combination of cupcakes, jars and woonden spoons, all of which I'm crazy about, big thanks to Becoming Lola for her brilliant idea.

i'm confusing

there are some blurry memory left and built from last night, the first thing is his words of his pure attitude which makes me curious about his last relationship, but what i assum i was wrong about is 99% impossible, and this is offically making me crazy today. the other thing is that i woke up and my heart ached badly due to the dream i had right before, the dream of him being in a new relationship, i could not fall asleep after that, i keep thinking what this means to me, is it the waking up call trying to telling me how i really feel about him during all these times, or am i just being paranoid?? i actually thought i had get over him months ago, then why all those old feelings keeps coming back all in a sudden, am i becoming weaker?? all kinds of questions start to pop out in my head, how long would it be this time to get over all those feelings??

first day at work

so, this is officially my first day at work, what i had today is a long education, something about the scale of the company, the culture around here and the timetable of daily work, etc... i feel like it has been such a long day party because i started work at 8am in the morning which is one hour ealier than i used to do, and partly just because first day is always exhausting.

i had the chance to meet the other two members who are also newly joined, to my pleasent surprise, one of them had the job interview in the same time as me, we recognized each other right away, i was quite glad to meet him again, feels like an old friend to me.

during the education i get to know that there will be some chances provided for working abroad, like China or Gernamy, eventhough i'm planning to go back to my own country sometime, i still feel the strong eager for the chance of Germany, there is something inside of me keeps telling me that i should grab any chance to see the world,  there are just so many amazing things out there, and i would be a shame for me to give all that up and settle down just for some sort of secure feelings.

besides all the information i received above, there is another important thing, that i couldn't be updating my blog as often as i used to be anymore, i'm going to be busier and busier, i'm not sure it's a good thing for me or not right now, i will make a conclusion three or four months later, untill then, i decide to try my best, god bless me.
