43th week
weekend is now my most favorite time. not bcoz i dont have to go to work. but bcoz i can be together with not only my husband, but also my sweet little girl.
It's still early spring now. if the weather is not so cold outside, i would take Crystal out for a walk. Her grandma also takes her out to play every afternoon if i am at work.
my city is a small city. i like it so far, especially there are a lot of fruit sellers on the sidewalk or besides some roads. And so many people taking their children or grandchildren out to play, or some other people taking their dogs out to walk. i enjoy showing her things: grass, tree, people selling prawn on the sidewalk, fish, fruits, birds, dogs, little children, flowers blossom in the early spring, etc...etc... She's amazed by it all and wants to touch every thing. while I'm amazed by her.
we're taking her to Carrefour this afternoon. it's 15 minutes walking from our apartment. we passed by a park. i showed her an old man blowing a bamboo flute. another old man was playing er-hu (a Chinese traditional musical instrument). and some big boys are playing with roller blade.
She laughed and giggled happily every time i pointed her the grass. And she would make a salute and shake hand every time i sing a Chinese song:
Looking…looking…looking for a friend. 找呀...找呀...找朋友
I have found a very good friend. 找到一个好朋友
Making salute, shaking hand. 敬个礼， 握握手
You are my very good friend. 你是我的好朋友
I was so amazed last Wednesday night. When i washed her for bed time. We were at the living room. There was an ads on tv, using above song for its jingle. At the beginning i didn't pay attention to the ads, it was her grandpa told us that she sang a long…by saying da…da…da… and she was twitching all her little fingers.
At Carrefour, we put her on the cart. she was amazed and playing with the handle. later on, she observed many things as we went from shelf to shelf. after finally she felt hot, cried and wanted to sleep. so i carried her in my arms until she fell asleep.
It's really exciting to watch over a child development!
I always love children, now i have my own lill girl.
To me this is the most pleasant dream that has come true !

LESSONS FROM GEESE
Author Unknown
FACT 1
As each goose flaps its wings, it creates an "uplift" for the birds that follow. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.
LESSON:
People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.
FACT 2
When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front of it.
LESSON:
If we have as much sense as a goose, we stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help and give our help to others.
FACT 3
When the lead goose tires, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies to the point position.
LESSON:
It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. As with geese, people are interdependent on each other's skills, capabilities and unique arrangements of gifts, talents or resources.
FACT 4
The geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
LESSON:
We need to make sure our honking is encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement, the production is much greater. The power of encouragement (to stand by one's heart or core values and encourage the heart and core of others) is the quality of honking we seek.
FACT 5
When a goose gets sick, wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then, they launch out with another formation or catch up with the flock.
LESSON:
If we have as much sense as geese, we will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.

12 TIPS FOR A POSITIVE ATTITUDE
More than 100 years ago, author Robert Louis Stevenson offered the following tips for maintaining a positive attitude. They still apply today.
1. Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
2. Make the best of your circumstances. Everyone has problems.
3. Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortunes that befall others.
4. You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you.
5. Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself.
6. Do the things you enjoy doing, but stay out of debt.
7. Don't borrow trouble. Imaginary burdens are harder to bear than the actual ones.
8. Hate poisons the soul, so don't carry grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy.
9. Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.
10. Don't hold postmortems. Don't spend your life brooding over sorrows and mistakes.
11. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.
12. Keep busy at something. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.

pesawatku
i was out for duty to Guangzhou on 22-23 April.
her father was playing aircraft with her ..
telling her that her mommy was on airplane, fly above the sky.
then the aircraft turned around, etc. etc.
after i came back, i found out that when she was playing an airplane toy,
she would raise the plane high with her hand,
and said, "ji..." (fei ji = aircraft) or said, "booo.... booo..."
very cute!
today, she saw the real airplane when we were playing at our balcony.

7th and 8th teeth -- self protection
7th and 8th teeth: left and right upper canine teeth.
if Crystal's cousin-brother wants to grab her toy,
she would turn aside her body, or grasp her toy tighter,
not to let her brother take it away.
sometimes if her brother wants to slap her,
she could protect herself by keeping her body away from him and
aimlessly slapping her own hands.
she got flu for 3 days, got infected by her brother.
my sister-in-law bathed her son on the nite when the temperature dropped down.
and let him play around only with a 'belly band' (a sheet of cloth covering baby's belly).
the baby boy got to have intravenous feeding for 3 days because of severe flu and cough.
it not happens once... but quite often, that his mom pays little attention on cold prevention.
so the baby boy often gets sick.

man man... and left-right
At home, if somebody is going out, we usually will say, “man zou …” or “man dian…”
which can mean “be careful on the way” .
This morning, her daddy was going out to buy breakfast,
Crystal was playing with me on the sofa.
I said to her daddy, “man dian…”.
while busy with a toy on her hand, suddenly she said, “man…man…”.
however it sounded more like “ma…ma…”
It’s amazed me and lin! I repeated to her “man …man…”, and again she said, “ma..man…”
It's her cousin, 19-month older baby boy, says the same words while someone goes out.
She learnt from it i guess.
I was playing with her feet and legs.
seemed she began to understand the concept of ‘left and right’
after I've been teaching her for quite sometime.
also i find out that she enjoys leaning on my upper arm everytime i play with her on the sofa.
i try to put her back to sit position, again she will lean on my arm.
actually, not only she enjoys it, but i also enjoy this sweet bound so much.

watching her sleeping
i wish i could be with Crystal all the time, watching her grows up day by day, time to time. but at this moment, there is no choice but to be a 'career mom'. so, during day time, monday to friday, i leave my heart at home and leave my Crystal at home with her granny.
i often lack of sleep for silly thing: watching her lovely face while sleeping.
i really enjoy the moment watching and kissing her cheek while she was sleeping. everyday i will say the same thing to Lin, “look at our baby girl, she is soooo adorable!” Huahahaha … Lin might get bored !
Last nite, we had a great time listen to Crystal laughed happily. She laughed when i put 2 fingers each at her ear and in front of her mouth, acting as making a phone call, and saying: “wei…wei…wei…” (means “hello”)
she would laugh joyfully, every time i said "wei...wei...wei..." making us laugh too …
and we could see her 3 cute little front teeth.
last nite, when in living room, i let Crystal play with a spoon and bowl. when i said to her, "mama wants to eat. please feed mama." she would bring the spoon to my mouth (i taught this to her few days back). same thing happened when we tried on her daddy and grandma.
this morning while still on bed, Lin said something that hmmm ... flied me to the moon ... 说找到我他感觉很幸福，应觉得我是个好老婆，对他好，带晶晶也很体贴。=）

3rd upper-front-left cutting tooth
this was the second time i was out of town. it was for 2 days and 1 night to Shanghai and Ninghai (13 & 14 March) while Lin also had to be out of town two for 3 days (13 - 15 Mar). this was her first nite without mommy and daddy at home.
before falling asleep in my hotel room, i watched her short videos on my mobile until 11.30pm. missed her so at that time! her granny said she woke up twice between midnite and morning.
her 3rd upper-front-left cutting tooth was coming out on 14-Mar-06.
Crystal didn't eat much yesterday, probably she felt uncomfortable with her new tooth. but today she could eat more as Lin told me when i called at lunch time.
she makes a lot of improvement these days. if i teach her something, she can quickly absorb it. for example, it took not more than one hour to let her differ red umbrella and blue umbrella. she also knows red santa clauss and blue santa clauss which i hang on the window.
i taught her "comb" and "combing hair". sometimes if she wants, if i ask her to comb my hair, she will raise her hand that holds a comb to comb my hair. she now can point out people nose, mouth, and eye that is if she wants, bcoz sometimes she doesn't want if she is paying attention on other thing.she also knows big duck and small duckling.i also took her to the balcony, and pointed the moon and stars to her.
but she is slow in studying with "pictures". we have an "animals poster". i think it's more difficult for her bcoz pictures are not "real".

brave for needle, afraid of water!
lill Crystal had measles immunization this morning.
all the lill kids in the room were crying after the injection.
again our brave baby girl didn't cry, though she almost cried,
but i manipulated her, asking her where the lamp was ... lol!
but zuueiiiick ... she is terribly afraid of water!
since it's winter, we don't bathe her everyday, worry she might get a flu.
everytime we bathe her, she will cry outloud, no way to calm her!
she will only stop after we dress her and carry her in our arms
then she falls asleep.... zzzzz....zzzz....!

clapping hands
since few months back i've been teaching crystal to clap hands and say: "clap your hands...clap your hands". holding her two hands and clap them. still do the same e'night when i wash her. she wears too much cloth during winter, uneasy to move around or clap hands. however, now she begins to seem like clapping hands .. no clapping voice, of course!
i've been also teaching her to blink eyes, and she just can do it lately in her 8th month. while my friend's baby could do it in his 6th month. well...i comfort myself, every baby is unique and meets her own physical milestones at her own pace. it's true!

8 months old
Crystal is 8 months old now.
her 7th month development :
* she can recognize members of the family and many things in the house, such as lamp, AC, tv, santa clause, wind-bell, chinese poster (with 'fu' letter on it), clock, key, fish lampion, our wedding picture, aloe, duckling, phone, bag.
* she can pronounce words like: mama, papa, nai-nai (means grandma and milk), ce-ce (older sister), ba, da, ta, fa, sa, na. if we call her name, sometimes she will answer by saying, "e...!" or if we talk to her, she sometimes answers "e..." as if she could understand.
* i enjoy singing to her. if i sing "old mac donald had a farm" ... she begins to kick her legs, and if i continue "old mac donald had some sheep ... e a e a o... baba here..baba there..." she would say "ba ...ba....ba...." happily (sometimes she says "da...da....da.." instead of 'ba'). and if i sing a new chinese song, which i am not familiar with the text, so i sing "na...na...na..." she also begins to say "na...na...na...".
there is another song she likes... "doctor john..doctor john...coming doctor john, doctor john, doctor john, wake up now. happy happy yeah..yeah... happy ye..ye.." Hahahahaha.... she likes this song which is often played by a barber shop across the street.
* she can now sit more steadily. but she still cannot roll over now due to too much cloth she wears during winter !!! she could wave bye-bye since last end January.
* she also becomes picky for people, cries when seeing a 'stranger-to-her' in our house.
* she enjoys dropping object and looking at it. if we pick it up and give to her, she will drop it again and again.

jagoan pilih kasih
Aku sebel sama bokap mertua!
Mau dibilang pilih kasih, yah… memang jelas2 banget pilih kasih! Dia fans berat banget sama cucu pertamanya, cowok, umurnya skrg 17 bulan. Sejak umur 4 bulan, sampai sekarang, bokap mertua gua super sibuk dan heboh nyiapin makanan ini itu buat dia. Udang... sayur.... telor ...daging... wortel... segala macam. Begitu giliran baby-ku, dia kayaknya gak terlalu pedulian. Menantu pertamanya sama sekali gak pernah musingi anaknya makan apa.Sudah dipikirin dan disiapkan oleh mertua.
Okehlah, wajar .... namanya juga cucu pertama, bolehlah lebih heboh. Tapi keterlaluannya, dia boleh dibilang gak pernah nyiapin makanan untuk putriku. Padahal putriku dah umur 7 bulan sekarang. Dah boleh makanan banyak jenis makanan.
Dari hasil test darah, babyku kurang Fe dan Zn. Gimana enggak, makanannya (selain susu) cuman bubur atau nasi dan telor. Aku sekarang kerja, hanya memungkinkan pulang rumah jam 6.30 sore. Kadang aku sempatin untuk memasak bubur wortel untuk si kecil. Atau kadang diberi makan buah.
Kemaren malam, dia habis ngantarin tamu yang mau pulang ke bawah. Setelah dia balik, di pintu depan ada cucu pertamanya dan aku menggendong putri kecilku. Begitu masuk pintu, dia menyapa dan tertawa pada cucu pertamanya. Sementara putriku, pas melihat kakeknya datang, dia tertawa senang(mungkin hendak menyambut atau dikira bakal diajak main oleh kakeknya) sambil aku ajarkan pada putriku, ”Yeye ... yeye ....” (artinya kakek) tapi kakeknya menoleh pun tidak ke arah putriku. Dan putriku pun berhenti tertawa. Aku yang merasa gondok !!!!
Wah, bisa panjang ceritanya kalo udah mau ngomong soal bokap mertua gua yang pilih kasih. Dia memang lebih sayang ke anak laki pertamanya, daripada ke anak laki keduanya (suamiku). Dengan begitu, kayaknya juga dia lebih gimana gitu... ama menantu pertamanya, dan pada cucu pertamanya.
Pernah sekali, menantu pertama mau cuci piring, Bokap mertua langsung heboh bilang, ”lo jangan cuci piring.. lo jangan cuci piring. Ntar biar gua aja yang nyuci. Lo jaga anak lo aja.“Setelah makan malam usai, bokap mertua kura-kura dalam perahu... nonton tipi.Akhirnya suami gua yang mau turun tangan buat nyuci. Nyokap mertua gua langsung nyahuti dg suara agak dikerasi, ”lo gak usah nyuci, biar bokap lo yang nyuci aja.” nah, kalo si mak mertua lebih sayang ke anak bungsunya.
Selama winter, iparku beserta anak mereka tinggal di rumah kami. Karena mertua yang jaga cucu. kalo pagi malam mesti dibawa pulang, udara luar terlalu dingin. Nah.. di rumah, urutan nyuci piring paling banyak (kalo anggota udah lengkap) pertama adalah suami gua, kedua adalah gua. Dan menantu pertama ada di urutan terakhir tentunya. Sekali si menantu pertama nyuci piring, bokap mertua gua langsung heboh... nyiapin air hangat untuk nyuci piring.
Menantu pertama kayaknya paling gak selera kalo harus pulang kampung. Udah dua kali imlek, aku yang pulang kampung. Dan bokap mertua merasa amat sangat perlu untuk menjelaskan ke sanak famili dan khalayak ramai, bahwa menantu pertama gak bisa datang kali ini karena flu berat. Yah... begitulah 'keluarga baru'-ku di sini.

Crystal in the water
During winter, we don’t bathe our little Crystal everyday. Probably it makes her a little bit afraid every time we bathe her. One time, she was so afraid that she could move up her bath basin (which is one-third full with water) with one hand !!!
So these days, every time i wash her at night, i will put her legs in the warm water. And she would kick her little legs madly in the wash basin. Same thing if i put her hands in the water. the water will be all over the wooden floor, an extra job for me to wipe it!
If only i could take her to swimming pool ... sighhhhh ... sighhhh... ! In hospital, when she swam for the first time of her life, she cried so loudly. She was only 3 days old at that time.

milk ... milk ...
There is one thing which i think is very amazing happening since these few days.
If our little Crystal is hungry, she will say “nai… nai…” the Chinese of “millk” (!)
Probably this is unconsciously, but there are many times for the same thing to happen.
Since she was within 1 month old, every time i feed or breastfeed her, i will always say: “my little baby is drinking milk” (in Chinese)
does this really have effect on her pronouncing the word “nai…nai…” ?
hopefully so!
What i’ve been doing since the day she was brought home from hospital is talking to her or telling her things in our home, such as TV, lamp, phone, aircon, key, animals pictures, plant, etc. During Chinese new year, when we brought her to village, i pointed chicken, duck and cows to her. She would laugh everytime i woof, quack, moo…. or producing other animals sounds. Hen and dog are her favorite.

try and try again
Suddenly i remember a friend today, Papank,
who died in Sept 1996 just after he graduated.
He ever wrote:
if you try and you fail, don't give up... just try again.
if you fail again, just try and do it again.
if you fail and fail again ..
keep trying and trying again until you succeed.
bcoz once you stop trying then all you've done in the past
will become NOTHING and totally lose its meaning

2nd tooth
the second tooth is coming out now,
on the lower gum, just on the right side of the first tooth.
sometimes i wonder, is it hurting her?
but seems she is not complaining.
5 days ago i met our neighbour whose baby girl is 15-day older than our baby.
she said she worried so much that her baby's tooth was not growing out.
i told her not to worry since every baby has its own grown path.
even though i myself was anxious too,
impatient to welcome her first tooth.
my father told Chunlin by phone that
i was toothing in my 4-month old.
Wow...!!! i just knew it!

first time back to hometown
this is first time Crystal is back for hometown.
everybody loves her, and ... hahaha ... she got a lot of "hong-bao" (ampao).
which is Chinese tradition of giving money in a red envelope.
for Hefei tradition, if some elder people see the baby for the first time, they need to give hongbao, also if the kid/baby visits for the first time, they also should give hongbao. but surely, we (or my parents-in-law) need to 'return' in the future for the children / grandchildren of these people with hongbao too with either similar or more amount of money. fyuuuhhh ... a tiring tradition... 'coz my parents-in-law require me to remember every amount in every hongbao. i even cannot remember all the relatives we visit, bcoz some people are also new to me. this uncle, that auntie, this grandma...that grandpa... ! i would faint !

sayang si tante
dua minggu gak ketemu oma-nya,
Jing-jing waktu digendong, agak merengek gak mau.
terus matanya melototin oma-nya.
mungkin mencoba mengenali.
tapi sama 'oma tante'-nya yg juga 2 minggu gak ketemu, dia mau.
malah ketawa senang.
soalnya begitu lahir, dia kebanyakan dimomong selain olehku,
juga oleh 'oma tante'.
omanya sendiri harus jagain abang sepupunya Jing-jing
yang kebetulan cuman lebih gede 10 bulan dari Jing-jing.
oma-tante juga memang lebih bisa ngajakin maen.
sehari-hari kalo aku ngantor, dia juga
memang lebih banyak digendong oma-tante.
soalnya oma-nya sendiri punya sakit pinggang.
kalo udah jam aku pulang kantor,
Jing-jing juga mulai merengek-rengek, agak susah dibujuk.
tapi begitu aku nongol di rumah, dia akan senyum atau ketawa senang.
anak kecil emang lucu yah!
mereka punya preferensi juga.
siapa yang lebih sering jaga dia, dia mau.

lill chomper
She started biting me when i fed her!
When I shout "ouw...ouw...!" she turned her head immediately, looked at me and naughty smile was on her face. she might think i was playing with her. so she began biting again. I pulled her off and told her again and again that she shouldn't do it everytime. and i couldn't help smiling when seeing the smile was still on her tiny naughty face.

ayah mak mertu meninggal
ayah dari mak mertua meninggal sekitar jam 8 malam.

selama mertua dan tante bungsu suami gak di rumah,
pulang kampung menjaga ayah mereka.

first tooth
i became a little bit anxious since little Cyrstal was not toothing 'til her 6 months.
i kept examining her gum everyday.
today i found a tiny white ovals in her formerly soft and toothless mouth. on the lower gum. finally! when she opens up wide, I can see her tooth gleaming. she likes to touch her teeth with her tounge. probably it's itchy. i can also see the sign of soon-will-be the second tooth just right beside the first one.

fever, cough and flu
Jing-jing demam, batuk dan pilek. jam 2 pagi batuk-batuk dan memuntahkan sedikit ASI yang dia minum. jam 5 pagi hal sama terulang. demamnya 38.6 celcius. suntikan imunisasi yang kemaren memang bisa menyebabkan demam, paling lama bisa demam sampai 3 hari.
mungkin ketika dibawa ke tempat check up dan ke tempat imunisasi, angin di luaran dingin, akhirnya dia kena pilek dan batuk.
jadi orang tua rasanya sedih sekali melihat wajah lemasnya karena sakit. juga sedih waktu mendengar suara batuknya yang lemah.
wah, ternyata nyuapin obat ke dia juga susah. dia berontak, nangis-nangis dan 'aksi tutup mulut'. walaupun obatnya terasa manis !
pinter juga, gak mau minum obat, mulutnya dikunci rapat2 dan kepalanya digeleng-geleng. akhirnya kepalanya mesti ditahan dan mulutnya mesti agak sedikit dipaksa untuk dibuka. begitu dia berteriak (nangis) obatnya langsung dituang ke mulutnya.
awal2nya masih bisa ditipu2 dikit dengan kita pura2 makan dengan sendok yang berisi obat. sehingga dia buka mulut begitu sendok itu disodorin ke dia (soalnya dia mupeng kalo lihat orang lain makan). tapi begitu kerasa rasa asing di lidahnya, obatnya sebagian langsung ngalir keluar dari mulutnya. nakal!

immunization, brave baby girl
Jing-jing dibawa medical check up.
tingginya 72 cm, beratnya sekitar 8.2 kg.
gak bisa persis tau sih beratnya, soalnya sekarang musim dingin, dia pakai baju juga berlapis-lapis. yang jelas si kecil gak masuk kategori ndut. dia cenderung langsing dan panjang.
Mungkin karena ASI-ku gak banyak. Apa boleh buat, memang begitulah adanya. Setelah check up, dia diambil darah di jari manis, nangis ee...ee.. sekitar 5 detik. Tapi setelah diajak main / dialihkan perhatiannya, dia berhenti nangis. Ada baby girl sepantaran dia, umur 6 bulan juga, diambil darah juga, nangisnya lebih kenceng dan lebih lama.
Habis medical check up, dia dibawa untuk suntik imunisasi. Wah, hebat !!!! dia gak nangis sama sekali ! Kuncinya, waktu mau disuntik, diajak maen / ngobrol oleh papanya. Lagi-lagi perhatiannya dialihkan. Dia malah senyum ke papanya. Dan si dokter menancapkan jarumnya memang agak cepat, jadi mungkin rasa sakitnya hanya sekejap, mungkin juga nyaris gak kerasa. Malah dia ngelihatin obat yang sedang dialirkan lewat jarum suntik ke lengan kanannya. Ada ibu-bu yang terheran-heran dan bilang, ”iiih.... bao-bao itu gak nangis, lucunya !!!! lihat, dia malah mandangi jarum suntik.”
Aku dan suami juga sempat takjub dan geli. Waktu dua kali suntik di depan dia juga gak nangis karena diajak maen sama opanya. Tapi suntikan yang sebelum ini, dia nangis hampir setengah menit, gak mempan diajak maen.
Aku dan suami berkesimpulan, memang supaya anak kecil gak nangis waktu disuntik, mesti dialihin perhatiannya. tapi mungkin dengan bertambahnya umur, dia mungkin akan makin takut. ada anak kecil yang belum masuk ke ruang suntik aja, udah nangis-nangis heboh ... gak mau disuntik.

32
32!
gak punya wish macam-macam.
just want to stay healthy, happy and to be a better me!
kado terindah kali ini adalah kehadiran si kecil,
buah hati kami.
our sweet lovely little girl,
our sweet angel.
she is the best thing ..ever.. in my life.
yang lain-lain gak terlalu banyak yang istimewa.
semua berlalu biasa-biasa aja.
tetapi mulai kontak lagi dengan anak-anak tuakou.
terima kasih untuk teknologi yang namanya email.
kerjaan... tambah banyak aja.
karena Green Guo yang pegang sales/marketing kena pecat.
jadi kebagian merangkap kerjaannya dia.
lebih baik gitu, soalnya sebelumnya kerjaan nyantai abis.
sampai melanggar idealisme pribadi:
"dilarang ng-email pribadi atau browsing
yang gak ada hubungan dengan urusan kantor.
kecuali jika benar2 penting dan gak bisa ditunda lagi."
bulan May headquarter tadinya malah mutusin mau pindahin operasi
dari Hefei ke Guangzhou awal tahun 2006.
males banget... !!! berarti harus cari kerjaan baru lagi.
keajaiban terjadi.. tiba2 mulai bulan May,
tiap bulan kita profit.
hihihi... Linny bercanda bilang, aku yang membawa
keberuntungan ke perusahaan.
keadaan membaik begitu aku datang.
waktu aku cuti hamil, order sempat sepi lagi.
tapi begitu aku ngantor lagi,
eh... grafik meningkat lagi.
makanya si Lin bisa bercanda begitu.
akhirnya 1 Nov 2005 (ultahnya Rika) diputuskan
gak jadi pindah, malah akan investasi mesin baru.
setelah itu, langsung kerasa, work load langsung meningkat tajam.
langsung sibuk dengan budget, berhubung dah akhir tahun.
terus order-order baru dan besar mulai datang.
dan Mr. Ren akhirnya disahkan jadi GM,
sekaligus merangkap GM di dan ditransfer ke Guangzhou.
katanya sih sebulan cuman akan stay seminggu di Hefei.
asik... punya kans naik jabatan nih..huahahaha...! ngimpi boleh dong!
30 Oktober 2005 kita pindah rumah ke Jing Feng Yuan.
terasa lebih nyaman karena dua kali lebih besar dari pada
rumah yang di Wuhu Road.
cuman, kita2 jadi kehilangan keindahan "River Ying Park".
enaknya di China, pemerintah cukup memperhatikan fasum/fasos
misalnya dengan membuat taman2 untuk publik, dan gratis!
juga jadi kangen dengan keindahan
Wuhu Road dengan deretan pohon oak di kiri kanan jalan
yang ujung pohonnya bertemu membentuk 'kubah' alam.
apalagi pada saat kita pindah, Wuhu Road baru aja habis renovasi.
dan jadi makin indah! kabel-kabel listrik sudah diinstal di bawah tanah.
juga jadi kangen dengan dentang jam di "Big Clock Tower" (Da Zhong Lou).
aku menyukai dentang bel kala jam 7 pagi, judulnya "Dong Fang Hong" (red in the east).
juga jadi kangen ama asinan ala hefei yang dijual di Tong Cheng Road.
dan 'sate ala hefei' yang dijual di samping Inspection Bureau.
