Factory orientation in China (23 July - 05 Aug 2007)

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

This will be the first time ever that I visit my relative’s factory in China and stay there for two weeks. They are doing printing and dyeing of fabrics which is what my family business is doing. Indeed, it is a very good opportunities for me to get to know what it going on when my client place order. From the time I receive confirmation on fabric quality, colour, handfeel, etc from my client to the moment the factory send out small quantity samples for confirmation and further to make bulk quantities once approve. I can witness every single process involved. One good thing about my relative’s factory is that they do make garment as well. But the main objective of the trip is to see how printing and dyeing are all about. As for garment manufacturing, hmmm… Maybe next time bah…

For the first three days of this two weeks trip, I can say it was heaven to me. Because for that three days, I was staying in Hotel. A four stars hotel! One of my company client wanted to visit our factory and therefore my uncle arranged them to see this factory of my relative. So, to be close to our client, I am arranged to stay with them in the hotel till they leave for some other place on Wednesday. A colleague of mine in the company as well as a cousin of mine accompany me for this trip. Reached Shanghai on 23 July and immediately went to hotel for rest and the next day morning, had a walk in the factory to know the surrounding so that on the next day, which is Wednesday, 25 July, the client will visit the factory in the morning. This client has a very busy schedule. Came from Tsing Dao and immediately leave for another factory after visiting mine.

But once the client and my colleague left on wednesday, leaving my cousin and I over for the next 11 days… I feel that I have drop from heaven to hell… Kekee… Coz I miss the bed, TV, 24 hrs internet services and especially the toilet in the hotel!!! The bed in the factory hostel is hard, TV channels are all so limited to the Chinese channels where without fail, TV commerical can be repeated 3x at one shot or more if I miss count. I got to pray damn hard for internet service to be on as the reception is not that good… Even for now, I am lucky to type this blog out coz there is some connection. Otherwise, no internet means nothing to do… The toilet is the most important thing I consider in my life coz I always need a comfortable place to shower, doing my business… But it is a bit… U know… And worse of all, so far, today is Sunday (29 July), I have encounted two power failure. Imagine w/o air con during a China summer… Sigh… Damn sad… Though it is slightly better than my outfield training… *Sob* but I still 6 more days to go… Er… But I hope that I can convince my elder cousin who is the boss of this factory, to let my cousin and I have our last night in China, staying in hotel. Please…

Shocking day

Friday, July 20th, 2007

What a shock to my life… I lost my passat… But fortunately, she saved my young bro… Thanks god. My young bro met an accident on Wednesday, in the afternoon Singapore time. At that time, it was 2 plus in the afternoon and heard that it was pouring heavily. Somehow, my bro lost control of the car when negotiating with a right bend, my dear passat strike the railing and onto the tree. As far as I know, the left side of my car were badly damage and was announced beyond repair when sent to the workshop after TP released my car. Worst thing was all the valuable staffs inside the car were stolen!!! Just imagine, meeting an accident is bad enough, yet, someone just take it as opportunity to steal all the valuable staffs inside while my bro were receiving medical attendion. Fortuantely, no serious injury to my bro. Just the state of shock and some minor cuts/injuries to his knee. But I hate the person who stolen all the valuable things inside the car. I swear he will have no good luck but surrrounded with all the terrible things to that person. Ass…

Feeling in Love? Is Love coming back?

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

After being single for so long… Suddenly have this feeling of falling in love again. Dont know is it coz of loneliness or simply it’s time to look into relationship seriously. Ya… I must admit I am looking for someone who I want to commit. But as this is not as simple as what I usually do for my grocery shopping weekly. As long as it is fresh, here it goes to my shopping bag.

Lately, I seen this girl who I wanted to approach BUT… My courage stopped me and the only thing I can do was to look at her from far. This lady is a SIA girl. Haha… Surprise for readers reading especially my friends? I was on this flight on 04 July, SQ868 taking off from Singapore at 1900hrs to Hong Kong. I must admit the smile from this lady has attracted most of my attendion throughout the whole 3 and a half hours of flight. Look quite sweet but just that I am wondering how old will she be. I think she is quite a nice girl and guess that she is quite young. Around my age, I hope so. One of my secondary friend who is a SIA girl as well may help… Pls and hopefully she knows her… Pls read this blog of mine but anyway, I will drop you a msg (Sound quite desperate hor? Kekee…). Will treat you anything if things can work out… Okie?
