Having been in Shanghai about 2 months now, many things happened during this return period to Shanghai… (Omit thousands of words here) And I also find out myself has changed a lot, which I began to thinking whether Shanghai is the city right for me. Shanghai is definitely very different from Tokyo. When referring the feeling of home, Shanghai is also like a stranger as Tokyo. The obvious difference between the two cities is that one speaks Japanese and the other speaks Chinese. Besides, the more important point I think is that most of stuffs in Shanghai that can rarely found in other cities in China is only for the rich people or foreigners here. Like many shopping malls, bars and apartments whose price is far from the average of income of Shanghai residence.
It's really sorry to say that I'm too young again. Many girls I met in Tokyo have asked about my age and I'm too honest to say I'm only 23 years old. Then they seem very surprised and would like to say “little brother” to me. To be honest, I don’t like the appellation. Not as like before, I would like to be older and more mature. But, I am still the youngest one of the first batch of the Shanghai IT office. With many talents and senior people around me. Still long way to go!
It’s really a long time since my last entry. I deserved myself a fortnight vacation to fill the vacuity before my new job. During this period, my brain is like a chaos of accessories in a machine which is running abnormally. There are tons of things waiting for my disposal. I’m involved in applying for my passport and visa, trip to Hangzhou and Ningbo and many trivial things caused by the job transfer. Although I made the plan, the result is few things in the to-do-list are accomplished. I was supposed to travel to Beijing but my mum was in hospital suddenly. I have to cancel the plan and take care of her. Thanks to God and she has left hospital now. The only strongest wish in my heart is she won’t relapse again. God bless me and my family!
Today is my last day in ASUS the comany I have been working for almost one year. At the very beginning, I was thinking about writing plenty of the feelings of these days here. But when I hold the demission application, I can hardly say anything. It's a very odd feelings I have never felt before since it is the first time I resign from a company. Whether or not, I have to say some words to my colleagues.
I suddenly find that the pronunciation discrimination between British English and American English is so distinct that I can hardly understand the English spoken by a guy from Europe when having dinner with him today. Maybe I have listened to too much American English or Chinese English. To avoid today’s embarrassed situation, I think I should choose some British English material to listen from now on. Also I find that there is lots of things to learn. Anyway, I am too naive now.
Since I come to shanghai for nearly 1 year, my mobile phone becomes useless. A daily use of it and also the most significant usage of my mobile phone is the alarm clock. It sounds ludicrous or unbelievable! But it’s true. Most of my friends are in Ningbo or Hangzhou now. And the fee of call will not be a small one if they give a call to me. Or maybe some of them have lost my phone number for some reasons.
Something wanna to say, but do not know where to start. It was harrowing that to see you again becomes impossible.
Four years have past. There are impulsions, fluctuations, excitations, also broken-hearted in the 4 years. In this time, all those things should be forgotten. Now I believe it is doomed. I think it would be better to don't contact with you again.
