  • family and work, which is more important?

    2007-9-06

      It has been a long time which I haven't put anything on my blog. Miss all
    of my friends here! Wish all of you are happy, healthy and wealthy!

       I am sorry to tell you that I resigned from that job, the main reason is
    I miss my son so much when I was working there and my husband didn't
    support me to work far away from home, he hopes I can go home every
    day and take more care of our son's study, as he is in grade one this year, 
    we need help him build a solid foundation from beginning. So I had to say
    sorry to the boss and resigned very soon.  

       I felt very frustrated. As a career woman, which is more important? Family
    or career? To me, I really want to pursue my career and actualize my value in
    working. But to family, I want to be a good mother, too. But now none of the full
    time job opportunities can allow woman caring your family at same time when
    working. Unless you are the boss of yourself!

     I considered to do some trading myself at home. But it's not so easy from the
    beginning. You need have customers and co-operated factories.      Some of my
    friends even suggest me to go back to my previous company, as it is not far away
    from my home, and I can go home everyday and take care of my son after work.
    The boss ever told me that he welcomed me to come back at any time. But I
    really don't want to repeat that kind of working life any more.... I made such
    a big decision to resign, now come back again? It is a even harder decision for
    me.  

     Is there any suggestions to solve my present complexion?

  • interview result

    2007-8-14

      Hi All, I won the interview yesterday, they are very impressed by my working
    experience and my sincerety. On the way back to my home, they called me and
    told me that I was the best among the persons who apply the positions that day,
    so I was employeed.

       It is a newly trading company estalished by a German and a Taiwan Lady,
    their products are all kinds of jewelries, they plan to exibit their samples in HK
    exibition hall three times per year, and most of their customers come from the
    show. They asked me to attend the show in this September, and asked me to
    apply visa to HK first before I go to work there. So I will go home on 8/15 or
    8/16, and will be back around 8/19/07. Then I will be busy working there, to
    familiar with all the samples which will be exibited.

      Although salary is not as good as my previous job, they promised me that they
    won't treat me bad if I can do a good job there. So just forgot the salary, and
    try to do a good job. As a new comer, win boss' recognization from the
    beginning is very important.

       Hi, all of my good friends, thanks again for your encouragement!

  • The headmaster I remembered

    2007-8-12

     

     Today when I saw Ana's blog talking about a headmaster
    she ever remembered. I recalled the headmaster i ever worked with right
    away. He was very kind to me when I was teaching in that school!

        He was more than 30 years old at that time, very young. He was strong, 
    his voice was very loud when he was teaching. His wife was a very popular
    maths teacher in that school, nearly all the students were afraid of them, so
    their teaching achievements were always outstanding. 

       When I first came to that school, they thought I might not used to the food
    provided by the school boarding. So they asked me to have meals with them,
    I couldn't refuse their kindness and hospitality, but I insisted to give them some
    money as compensation, at last, they only agree to accept a little money for my
    boarding fee. Sometimes when his wife was busy, then I would prepare meals for
    them.

       One day, his wife was out of town, I took the task of preparing breakfast.
    I decided to boil noodles and put some eggs in it. I learned a little from my
    mother about cooking. After I put all seasoners into the noodle, I prepared
    a big bowl of noodle for him, he said, "looks very delicious." and ate it up
    quickly.  I ate a little, I found it didn't taste well at all. Seems I forgot to put
    something into it, I asked him, he smiled and said that you must forget to
    put some oil into the bowl, as the noodles couldn't be swallowed smoothly. Oh
    my god, yes, I forgot to put oil. My face turned red, Looking at the big bowl
     which he already finished, I asked him why he lied that it was delicious, I
    could add some oil to it when he found it. He laughed loudly and said "haha,
    when I found it, it was almost finished. It's a small case for me to finish such
    a bowl of noodle. If you make it more delicious, then it may not be enough for
    me, you will have to boil more for me, hahaha...."! Until today, I still remember
    his laugh and his expressions at that time, haha, he was such a humous guy!

         As I was a teacher from other town, he not only cared my living status, but also
    my teaching and my relationship with my students. He always ask my students
    not to against me!!!

        I taugh there for 2 years, then I went to collegue for further studying. he tried
    to keep me there, But when he heard that I need go to collegue for further studying,
    he agreed and he told me sincerely " I don't want to ask you staying here any more
    as I don't want to affect your future! You deserve a more bright future. But remember,
    Here, Welcome you back at any time."

       Now he would be 44 or 45 years old. How is his working and health now? Sincerely
    Wish he and his family all the best!

  • An interview chance

    2007-8-09

     

      This morning I received an interview notice from a company
    which I applied a position with. They asked me to go to their company to have an
    interview tomorrow afternoon around 2:30PM. It's a surprise to me. I just posted
    my resume yesterday and got an interview so soon.

       As I promised my husband to attend a training class held by their company this
    Friday and Saturday, I just postponed the interview to next Monday 2:30PM, and the
    person agreed.

      Oh, I need prepare something for the coming interview, after all, I have not
    been interviewed for so many years. Am I capable enough to gain the position?
    Just have a try and I believe it will be a challenge and valuable experience
    to me, no matter succeed or not.

  • Composing a resume

    2007-8-08

     Today I spent more than 3 hours to prepare my Chinese and English resume.
    After completed, I posted my resume on one of job seeking website.

      Actually I know that few job opportunities are suitable for me because
    of my age and the salary I asked. But I still posted it to see if any company
    is interested in my resume or not. These years I used to recruiting new members
    in my department and training them. I didn't experience any interview for many
    years. I need test my confidence again. I know that even I am lucky to get any
    chance, I am not sure I take it or not, as now my top piority is to take care
    of my son's living and studing. Anyway, just have a try, to see if I still meet
    some companies'qualifications.

     Life is always full of challenges, don't lost one's confidence is very important.
    So, come on, face any challenge with a bright smile!

  • My son

    2007-8-07

     My Son will be 6 years old on Nov. 10, he has been in kindergarten for 3
    years,this septemper he will go to elementary School.

     I am not sure whether this age is Child's rebellion period. Since I resigned,
    I and him had about 3 conflicts, which toubled me a lot. I found he was not
    that good boy in my eye before, he didn't listen to your reasons, he always
    wanted to against you! When I felt so frustrated, I even beated him .... but
    most of time,he didn't cry, just staring at you with hate... I was very puzzle.
    .. what's wrong with him?

     Everytime after conflicts, I would give him my reason why I was angry, and I
    also asked him to tell me why he was punished when both of our moods became
    calmful. Sometimes he would tell me, but sometimes he didn't admit his mistake.
    Perhaps in his eye, he didn't do anything wrong, but in my eye, he was wrong.
     

      In our family, my son is afraid of his dad very much. When he did something
    wrong, his dad would shout at him, (but he seldom beats him), then my son
    stopped right away. But when his father is not at the site, I blamed him the
    same bad action, he would be careless, or negotiated with me always. Actually
    I pretended to be hard for him, shout at him with a very severe face, or beat
    him. But he still doesn't obey me same as obey his dad, he told me that "Dad
    is a lion, but mum is a rabbit ". So a rabbit can never become a lion in his
    eye? That's the reason he rebells me when I was hard to him?

     I ever tries to be a friend to him, act in this way seems the effect is better.
    When i treat him as my friend, he also treat me as friend, at that time the 
    relationship is very harmony. But sometimes I really don't know how to be his
    friend, especially when he did something wrong. Does anyone have good ideas?
    Thank you in advance!

  • visit a friend

    2007-8-05

     

       Today I visited a friend of mine in Shenzhen, she just had a baby boy fifteen days ago. 
    The friend worked in my previous company before. And my previous Supervisor - Ms.
    Zhang and her husband went there to see her with me and my husband. Ms. Zhang is
    not only my good Supervisor but also one of my best friend. We talked all the way, it was
    a happy journey!

     About one hour's drive, we arrived. All of them were so glad to see us. My friend looks
    a little fatter than before, obviously her body has not recovered from giving birth to a child. 
    We were so excited to see the baby boy, " where is your little baby? we are so eager to see
    him!" My friend took us to her bedroom, and we saw the newly born boy - wow, so small, so
    tenderness and so cute! My memeory of my little boy at his age was arised right away,
    although I had already been a mother, but I dare not to hug him, I am afraid I will hurt him......
    Ms Zhang's eyes fixed on the baby's head , face, petted him very carefully, she couldn't help
    herself to take him in her arm when she saw he was awaken......

      My friend, her husband, and the boy's grandmothers all standed aside, all of them look so
    contented. " oh, little boy, do you know so many people love you? And do you know you 
    are hope of them? " I said to the little boy in my bottom heart.

      It's a pity that we only stayed around one hour in their home, as Ms Zhang's husband need 
    go early because of business. Before we left, my friend's husband bought us a lunch. During
    the lunch time, her husband - Mr Tan talked a lot with us about his favorite subjects - stock,
    Chinese Medicine and some traditional chinese culture...... we are surprised at his knowledge
    about these subjects as he learned all these by himself, especially Chinese Medicine, now when
    one of his family member is ill, he can cure them with very cheap chinese herbal, they don't
    need go to hospital, and he also gives prescrīptions to some friends who knows him and asks
    help from him. And he has a big desire, he told us that he wants to invest some money to
    Chinese Medicine when he earns enough money in stock market, from last year to now, he
    earned about rmb500,000.00 - 600,000.00 in stock, now he is a specialist on stock, and
    everyday just stay at home studing stock and doing invest. Best wishes to them!!!

    After came back to the town I live, Ms Zhang asked me to do facial nursing in a beauty parlor
    with her, I really relaxed and fallen sleep during the period...

    I arrived my home around 19:30, although a little tired but very happy!!!

  • My trip to Germany

    2007-8-04

     Because our factory would like to have a Furniture Show in Koln International
    Furniture Fair from Jan. 13, 2007 - Jan.21,2007, I got the chance to visit
    Germany with another 4 collegues, this was my first time to go aboard. You
    could imagine how exciting I was at that time!


    I thought we would have much time to visit some famous places in Germany when
    we got there, but everything was not going as we expected. The fair started
    from Jan 13, when we arrived there on Jan 11, we had to be very busy with the
    samples assembling and showroom decorating. When we - total 5 person finished
    the heavy task in the late evening of Jan 12, all of them felt too tired to have
    dinner, just want to have some water then go to sleep!!! Of course, we
    couldn'tgo to sleep without dinner!

    We got into a Chinese restaurant, felt so well to meet Chinese in this Country. We
    told the waiter to give us some tea or water before we ordered some dishes, but to
    our big surprise --- no restaurant here offering free water or tea to consumers!!!
    He told us with an smile " the water need 1 Euro per cup, and the Koln beer need
    2 Euro per cup", oh my god - 1 Euro is more than rmb10.00, that means one glass of
    water need more than rmb10.00, that's too expensive! Considering of saving cost
    for our company, we negotiated with him, giving them 1 Euro but they need serve
    enough water for us!!! To see all of us are Chinese, and he can guess this was
    our first time to come to Germany, he talked it with his boss and we got the
    special discount!But it was very embarrassing when we ordered the dishes, it was
    not expensive to the people earning and using Euro for any payment, but definitely
    it was expensive for us Chinese, when we exchanged them into RMB..., we ordered
    only 3 dishes for the first meal... total cost around 25-30 Euros!

    From Jan 13 to Jan 21, we were so busy with the show, everyday we went to work at
    8:00am and back to the hotel at 6:00PM. We didn't have any time to go out to see
    some famous places. It was lucky that the world-famous Koln cathedral was very
    near to the hotel we stayed, everyday we need pass it on the way to the Fair. And
    everytime on the way back to hotel we would stay before the Cathedral for some
    time, it is such a wonder in the world, same as the Chinese Great Wall! We are
    surprised at its its majesty and its fine craftwork, the cathedral's bulding     period
    is as long as six hundred years!!!That means around 7 or 8 generations involved in
    the building process. What a huge project! Although the cathedral     experienced many 
    wars in the history, but the Germany people still keep its completeness and its
    graceful after many time's repairation.   

    There are also something impressed me a lot during the stay in Germany, I will
    write them down later in my blog.

  • My life after resigned

    2007-8-04

     

    I resigned from a trading company which I served about 8 years on
    6/9/2007. To most of my good friends, they don't understand my
    resigation, as I worked so well in that company in their eye. But It
    is me who knows I like this job or not. I admitted that i really like this
    job at the first 3-5 years, and at that time, I thought it would be my
    last job in my life. But finally I gave it up, as I lost of my passion and
    just felt tired and dull in recent years, no improvements.... I found it
    was so watery, everyday, replying customer's e-mails; solving
    problems between factories and customers; try to find some reasons 
    to explaining why delay was caused, why prices need to be increased
    ...... and so on. I don't want my days continuelly go on like that, so
    made up my mind to resign although my parents don't agree me to
    do so.

    Now I am free, enjoyed my life at home for a few weeks, now most of
    time i feel so idle, also no mood to pick up my self-study subject. It's so
    strange, I had so many wonderful ideas before I resigned....... where have
    they gone? It seems what one thinks is too different from the actual life. 
    But I am not regret my resignation, I believe I can find a way out after
    carefully thinking, this is just the necessary period I should experience---
    NEVER GIVE UP!
