Another Tired Day Yesterday ...

These few days we ( my colleagues and me ) are really tired rush for the implementation of the new packaging concept launching in the customer place. Due to lack of manpower here, our whole team only have 8 people but we have to do R&D, PR/CS , Purchaser, Logistic, Production, Advisor, QC / QA, DCU and other. Like what we say in chinese "Include the mountain include the sea" (包山包海)type of job lah ...

But it is good to learn thing lah ... Learn how to work under extreme pressure ... ^_^ .... Another skill that i learn here is drinking skill .. Almost every night we will order 青岛beer during the dinner ... Then sure that the drinking level will be improved lah ...

Continue working without any holiday for quite sometime already ... I think the whole team also feel tired already .. Hope that there is some new manpower coming in soon else very difficult to control the situation here ... Really hope that this weekend have some time off so that can go to the town to look around ... Till today still dont have the time to really walk around in the town areas ..and also the beach even alhtough the beach is just across the road, one block from the apartment i stay now ....

Sleep Late For the Yesterday & Today ...

Yesterday night at 10:30 pm i went to the Qing Dao airport to pick up one US colleague that arriving from Beijing (after he fly from Nashville to Chicago then continue to Beijing) ... When i reach there i only notice that the flight was cancel due to thunder storm ... But my colleague was not informed by the airport personnel for the cancellation of the flight ... He still waiting in near the Gate for the flight although already passed the boarding time .. He only notice the situation when i told him ... What a lousy job done by the airport personnel there .... Then not choice i have to go back to the apartment with a task undone ..

Tonight i go to pick him up again almost the same time like last night .. And this time the flight schedule is continue delay and delay ... At 1st the arrival time is at 10:10 pm .. later change to 10:30 pm and then change to 12:35 am .. finally change to 1:15 am ... When my colleague came out from the gate already 1:35 am ... and we reach the apartment around 2 am ++ ... So late lo ...and already passed my sleeping time already and cannot sleep liao lo ...

That why i take the time to write this blog because i cannot sleep lo ... maybe will take some bir so that i can go sleep faster ..^_^ ....

Finally i can access internet from a "SPR coffee" shop in Qing Dao .. I have been offline here almost 5 days already ... Many thing cannot do lah ..Suffer because cannot access to internet ...

Today finally find a place that i can access internet through my own laptop .. I dont like to go to internet cafe here because afraid of the security issue lo ...

Hope that the landlord will ask the internet provider to come and install the broadband tomorrow in the apartment i stay now .. Then i can keep contact with all my friend here lo ...
