We went to 鼓浪?which is an island near Xiamen. we took a ferry there. its like fr sg to tekong via ferry but the distance is shorter.
It's a v cool island. there's ppl living on the island but no car. the island is quite big. there's a hill where we can c the whole island from the top. its a really nice island. got shops got houses. once i get the photos fr my colleague i'll upload for ur to c! =)

interestingly, my senior pointed to a church beside a shopping centre and said this is a v old church. so i asked if i can go on sun then he ask if i am a christian. He said Fuzhou got lots of church compared to the other provinces that he has been to. i was like wow! i was shocked :shock: cos most of the Fuzhou ppl i tok to dun seem to be christians.

Hiya guys! today is my second day in Fuzhou! arrived yday aftnoon... hehe..this place is not bad, its not those undeveloped parts of china but its also not like Beijing or Shanghai so very developed. Food here is so v cheap!!! haha..the ppl from our client company bot us to restaurants to eat. they always order alot of food! yday nite, there were 6 of us, the director ordered 10-11 dishes! the bill came up to $388++RMB so convert to S$ is ard S$90+ for 6 ppl leh...after dinner they went nightclub (or they call it KTV haha..) and they drank a lot more. hard liquor summore, during dinner we drank some beer. the beer here taste nicer cos the alcohol content is only 3++% unlike in sg its usually 5% hence taste more bitter. mi din go cos i tink not v suitable for me to go ba. so i wen to the supermarket to look for the S.H.E biscuits. i managed to find it haha..the biscuits here are cheaper and many of the packaging got the pictures of singers or actors, even mineral water oso got such photos on the bottles. the picture on QOO bottles oso v cute (yupz..i bot one! haha..) i tried the SHE biscuit this morning..not bad la..but its not like super unique. so if ur dun wan email mi okie...if not i buy for ur the biscuits hor...or if ur dun mind other kinds of biscuits i buy the other kinds. lidat more variety ma...i saw a winnie the pooh one, packaging looks nice. hehe...
today the director took us to "WU SHAN". its a hill, or maybe shd say its a mountain. we climbed up the mountain, its 1800m high! haha...wat a workout~ =P we drank tea at a teahouse at the top pf the mountain.after tat we took the cable car bk to the bottom of the hill and then we went to a small restaurant for lunch. Oh, forgot to mention that we climbed the mountain wif the director and his wife and child. at the peak we were introduced to the director's frenz, professor lin and his wife. then we went for lunch tog wif all of them. ha..china ppl drink a lot of beer/wine/liquor. they director kept toasting wif us. so we all had to drink. haha...but me gal so not so bad. dun nd to drink so much. the guys more jialat. hahaha...we had 12 dishes for lunch, there were 9 ppl and the bill was only $140++RMB (S$40++) so cheap rite!? no wonder my colleagues say come here is DA YU DA ROU. hahahahhaa...till now i'm still enjoying myself. =) later may be gg for spa~ tink its only 100RMB so ard S$20+ cheap? hahaha...

haha...in the end i'm gg for the china trip nx sat...wondering if i'll be gg on sat alone wif my manager? *glup*

anyway i oso dunno why i'm shock instead of happy to hear tat i'm gg china even thou i've only started work for a wk...tink i have some concerns, mainly cos of ministry ba.. cos leaving on sat means i wun be able to attend church..mayb for 2 sundays, cos i duno when i'll be back. No doubt its a learning experience and an exposure, i juz feel i'll miss service and cg and the ppl...ha...oso means my schedule is interrupted...my tuition and meetings wif ppl have to be rescheduled.. Also, tins happen v quickly, mayb still haven completely adjust to the coy ba...

But i muz say its a great opportunity to enjoy, learn and grow! i am starting to look forward to it ored! hehe...
heard from my fren got 6 flavor of the SHE biscuits, hehe...heard its nice!

This entry is super long so read only when u have the time k!? haha.. :D

Today is the last day of training for me. *no more relaxing* By rite is yday but they cudn't finish so the managers took over fr the director. heh...today the managers took the 4 of us out for lunch at some thai restaurant. supposedly shd be 5 of us newcomers. but Jasmine went to client's place cos she's still an undergrad so she's employed by the firm on a contract basis. Wen sku starts, she'll be working part-time. ur shd be able to understand that lunches wif all the managers wun be that enjoyable la...haha...kind of weird cos they more senior and u'll alwaz wori that u'll say sometin stoopid in front of them... haha... anyway its a blessing la cos we had free lunch and its quite gd.

In the afternoon, we had a role-play on interviewing. Cos as auditors, u may nd to get information fr the employees working in the company u r auditing hence the managers wanted to let us try this. They gave us some info and we are seperated into groups of 2. Xiao Wen and I were supposed to analyze the variance between the current yr no. and the previous yr no. this means note the fluctuation and then ask abt the suspicious items. And the main difficulty is that we have to ask in Chinese. The reason is that my coy has a lot of China clients and we nd to learn many many mandarin accounting jargons. oso sad to say my mandarin is not that great so i had to take some time to process wat the other party replied. haha... really nd to brush up...

We are barely one week old in the coy and the seniors are gg to book us for assignments maybe in the following wk! and its not jobs for Sg clients but china clients! means have to go China! scary rite? yday they wanted to make us go nx mon but our convo is on wed so we were kind of saved. but leta they say got another flight on sat! the newbies drew lots and i struck the lottery... (-__-ll) i was so worried and fearful...but Thank God i they abandon the idea ahahaha... but i tink i will have to travel v often. i hope tat the travelling will be minimal...

~*My 1sT DaY of wORk!*~

Hi! today is my first day of work! hehe... quite relax cos the first 3 days is training.. so will be attending lessons the whole day. There is 2 more NTU gals, Jasmine and Xiao Wen, entering the coy as well as 1 NTU guy, Wei Xiong. on top of that, there's a IT personnel, Winston and another female, Grace oso entering as auditor.

The ppl in the coy are generally friendly. One of the managers offer us sweets. During our training, one of our directors offered us Bengawan Solo kueys. hee... got one particular senior named Tania who is very cute. hehe... she's the only senior who is v happy to talk to us to show us ard, to intro us to ppl and she bot us out for lunch as well. haha... very sisterly... hehe...

I thank God for today, for all the ppl he has placed in my workplace and for his presence. I'm really happy and joyful cos i din feel tired (thank God for sustaining me), my feet hurt cos of the shoes but there were no blisters! Which is a miracle cos usually if not all the time, whenever i wear shoes esp new ones I will surely get blisters on my feet. but today no! even thou there is pain (mayb cos the shoes are a bit small), i did not have any injury. PTL!! very happy to be able to noe new ppl and to start work hehe...i oso quite like the coy =) our coy is expanding.. and now the previously empty unit beside our office is occupied by us..*yeah* i heard that the auditors alwaz work till very late. pls pray tat i wun have to haha...
