Peak Season

March 24th, 2007   Filed under English entries, Work

@ 2007-03-24 14:14

It’s peak season again, but much earlier than last year. These days, its just too busy for me to update the blog. Yesterday, I stayed up at office to 2300 but got up 0830 this morning. I just finished the report and sent to the client, but haven’t washed up yet. Jesus Christ! Why companies don’t pay for extra work hours?!I’m reading Reach Dad Poor Dad this days and almost finished. I am always wish to be rich and this book make one point clear for me that to work for the money is different from make the money work for you and I wan’t financial liberation. I’m know working for money, but even I can OT to death I can’t shake off the financial pressure. The reason is that my consumption needs will grow more quickly than my salary. House, car, weding, kids and things I don’t know will spend all my salaries. I will have to keep working for paying these debts till almost the end of life. Terrrrible~

So what’s your point? My point is that I can’t work for others all the life. I must seek a way to make money work for me and finally reach financial liberation. How? I don’t know all the way to there but I do know some of them. Manage your money, don’t disabuse. Invest it, instead of leaving there waiting to be spend. And try to set up a business before 30 and etc. Just open eyes for opportunities.

To see a China Super League football match

March 10th, 2007   Filed under English entries, Life

@ 2007-03-10 15:20

Urecca and me together with two other couples will go to see a China Super League football match tomorrow. Shanghai Shenhua will play at home against Shangdong Luneng at Pudong Yuanshen Stadium. This would be a eyecathing match between last year’s champion and runner-up. This would be a wonderful match, but for me the result is quite clear, Shangdong Luneng will beat Shanghai Shenhua with one goal advantage. Shenghua together with its lavish boss are going to face a consecutive third lose. Haha!

Since both Urecca and another couple are from Shangdong, and me myself is born in Shandong, our six will be a cheering squad for Shandong Luneng. Considering the footaball vialence happened days before in Italian which resulted in the death of a policeman, we hope we are not going to sit among a bang of Blue Devils.


The result is Shenhua won Shandong 1:0. We shout at the scene desperately for Shandong but disappointed at the end.

But several day latter, at the AFC Champions League, Shenhua was defeated by a Vianam club but Shandong won a Korean team in contrast. A report said Shandong is playing professional footable while Shenhua was ripped off by an inferior competitor

Stroll in a Miao Hui (逛庙会)

I almost decided to write this entry in Chinese, because many things in this entry would be very difficult to express in English. But I decide to stick with English, finally, to continue the custom I’ve built these days. OK, now let me begin this entry on Miao Hui, in English.

On Feb the 20th (that’s the third day after lunar new year’s eve, 初三 in Chinese), I went to the Long Tan Miao Hui (龙潭庙会) together with my sister. In fact this is our first time to a Miao Hui. There are dozens of Miao Hui in Beijing during China lunar new year. The Long Tan Miao Hui named after the venue where it occurs, the Long Tan Park (龙潭公园).

Generally speaking, a Miao Hui is market filled with various snacks and interesting toys and performance, all of them come in a traditional style. My pictures will take you through all of these.

First, let’s have an overview of the Miao Hui. Since a Miao Hui is always held to celebrate the new year, red lanterns and auspicious characters like “福” (means happy) and “春” (means spring) are necessary to decorate. There are so many people, many are parents with kid, that I began to worried about whether the park can bear so many people.

There are many interesting things in the Miao Hui, toys for kids and parents, gambles, sedan and etc.

Traditional snacks of Beijing and other provinces are hot sellers here. I think you are willing to taste most of them except for the fried insects. I bought myself a bowl of Yang Za Soup (made of inside of a lamb, 羊杂汤) and several strings of lamb, very delicious.

 

Do you know who the statue is? He is a famous molder worker in our primary school textbook, named Shi Chuanxiang (时传祥).

Bull market and my matual impulse

March 3rd, 2007   Filed under English entries, Life, Opinion

@ 2007-03-03 14:10

As the China stock market rockets, the impulse of investment has been again ignited among Chinese people. Though some sharp up and downs have been seen this days, most people and expertise are optimistic about the long-term performance.

In my previous entry “Money, money and money” I stated that I wanted to make more money all the time but didn’t know how. Now, it seems invest in stock market could be a possible way. Though I don’t know how to behave in the stock market, the emergency of “matual found 基金” paved the way to the stock market. I’m considering buying some matual found.

It’s said that year 2007 will be “the year of matual found”. What I believe is that the popular of matual found will teach the most that there are better ways to invest rather than saving. Before I take out my money, I should be clear two questions, one is “what’s my investment objective” and the other is “which found to buy”. Do you have good suggestions on my questions? Especially on the latter one :)
