I love Kunshan

Finally I got Kunshan, the first impression of this city to me is the train station. I saw the walls with ceramics and the street with fewer people. I like the calmness of this city

I asked a stuff about how to get to the bus stop, he answered me nicely with politeness. I was quite contented after the terrible experience of Suzhou. Hehe. I got the stop easily and on the bus for about 50minutes to my company.

On the way I saw the most beautiful villas I'd ever seen, even in the rich part of Beijing, I didn't see such beautiful range, very luxious villa with a river by it's side, very little people living in the same community so all the people are living easily safe and sound here. some rivers around the city. and those rivers are very clean. not as dirty and disgusting of suzhou river. This kind of river is the ones in my dream place. hehe

I finally got my office, I found everyone there happy and contented, I was arranged to live with my favorite colleague in the same hotel room, the room's quite clean and neat, not super luxious but quite okay with the 4star hotel title. My office's also very big, many times of my Beijing office. althought it's already big enough. I love here. in the afternoon I met our general boss here. talked to him for quite some time about our training program plan. He's quite interested and gave me alot of precious suggestions. I felt easier here.

In the lunch time I had lunch with my colleagues, one of my friend invited me, he also came to pick me up from the station, we also had our dinner together, we drank some beer and ate something we like, that's my first day meal. I had a great time here.

My place is quite remote, not as close to shanghai as I thought before, although all the companies here are based in shanghai or suzhou, or international ones, but really not that close. I saw some beautiful Golf court, the best one I'd seen, of course bigger and more natural than beijing's. and many things I'd been dreaming of, I all got them here. I love the real estate here the most, second is that it's although close to shanghai but living easily, no noise, no people around, no pressure, so here is the best place for both living and work. Great city it is!

I love Kunshan, it's make my coming 3 months livable, and my beautiful colleagues are also the great reason for me to be here.

I changed my number to Gotone/China mobile: 13962634059

I hate Suzhou

I got Suzhou at last at 6:48am from my best experienced train to the worst experienced city!

Because I have to change another train to Kunshan where I am working, so I left the train station and about to ask where's the ticket box, when I asked, actually I asked 3stuffs, none even looked at me much less answering my question...I felt very angry but I kept my temper low, the last one at least gave me a "humble" sign of pointing her fishy hand to a place vaguely...at last I got their with about 5minutes walking...

The breakfast sellers and the non-licensed taxi drivers were around the road draging me...felt so bad of here...

At last I got the ticket of 10yuan from Suzhou to Kunshan, I heard it's only 3.5yuan from my colleagues so I thought it should be a good train, worthy of this price.

But when I got on to the platform, I found out that it's...the worst train I'd ever seen! I thought maybe the toilet was broken...so it's super smelly on the platform...I beared all this and steped on to the train. found there's even no space for me to stand...with my guitar and my travel bag...fortunately I asked for currier service, otherwise I'd be dead! Coz my hand has a scar, so I could easily detect my blood's condition from there, I just saw my scar turning from pink to purple...because of lack of oxygen...

At last I got to Kunshan safely...half hour on the train...almost killed me with it's air...

The best train I have ever taken in my life

While on the train, I feel the stuffs are very warm hearted, they served me personally with their self introduction at first, later they served some hot water for my instant nuddle, and they speak very nicely. I felt so touched...really. coz I'd been on train for so many years, never felt so great service on the train, I asked them if they belong to beijing railway company, they said yes, oh mine! I should have taken this train long time ago!

I felt very easy with the air temperature and the facilities there, the toilet is nice and clean! great! I never smelled a little bit bad smell in that toilet for the whole session of nearly 11hours. that's very hard for them! Their hard work made all of our passengers feel at home! So I sincerely thank them for all of this. If later you have the chance, I suggest you to try on it. T85 from Beijing-Suzhou. 19:28-6:48 quite nice!

I love it!

getting the train to suzhou

Last night I had a awful experience in Beijing railway station, my administration department colleague told me to go on the train from Beijing west station, while my train would be leaving at 7:28, I was there at 6:50, sudenlly the station stuff told me that I came to the wrong station, it should be start from the beijing station...my head was like twice big, grabing my dady rushing to the other one.

I saw a taxi at the gate, we got on it fastly, since our behavior was like super urgent, the driver immediately asking money from us, like 150yuan for the entire trip...usually it's only 20yuansomething from the west station to the beijing station, since we were rushing for time and the car was already started, he promised us be sure to send us there, I could had only praise him with my hypocritical mouth, saying that he's so kind something, we're all beijinger etc., at last we end the deal at 100yuan...5times of usual.

We got there on time dangerously, indeed he tried hard, he drove more than 100miles an hour in some safe session of the road. I fastly said goodbye to my daddy and got onto the train...

I'm leaving Beijing...I will miss you Dear Beijing

I am leaving. This morning, my dady helped me for my packed packages for currier service. My hands cannot lift up so many things to Kunshan-Shanghai, I feel so grateful to him!
On my way to the company, I felt so sad of leaving here...I love here for sure, although I always complain about this and that of Beijing, even wrote to the government asking for changes, but I still love here so much, if anyone trash a piece of paper before me on the road, I would advice him to trash it properly, I am so devoted to this city, I advertise here on website, I also donated my blood to this city's people on my 18years old, it's my first day of legal blood donation day, with this love I am leaving here to an unknown city Kunshan...
I also miss the friends here second place, I love all of them. On the Bus I keep flashing back all the great memories I had with my friends, the dinner last Friday, Nanshan Ski, horse riding and the choir, the hh meeting every Sunday, they're very memorable for me... I will keep my friends in my heart and remember them always in my heart! With my love with them always no matter where I go to.
I love my family, though we just gather once or few times a year but we love and care for each other, I wish to bring them more love and peace after I come back.
My God, I know you are with me, no matter where I go to, how lonely I feel, I know you're there for me.
Okay. I will be preparing to leave my office now for home. To everyone who read my blogger please pray for me and keep in touch with me!

Assension Sunday

I woke up 11:30am this morning, felt very sad because I promised Malcolm to listen to him today, I was very worried if he was expecting me to be there... I didn't know if the Mass was finished or not, so I sent him a sms, fortunately he told me that he's not singing because he composed the wrong Psalm~ the church celebrated the Ascension today. I felt very much released and started my photo scan again:-) until 14:00, I completely finished my Album, I set out for shopping.
Malcolm's sms again, he asked me to take care of myself and rest well today so that I could travel well tomorrow:-D I will
I went to the North church Mass later after shopping, I don't know why, after having been in the International church for so many years, I couldn't take the Chinese Mass...I always feel sleepy, very sleepy while during the Chinese Mass, I slept twice during the priest's homily while I tried to take 2Chinese Masses in the past week, everytime I sleep without my own conscious...what happened!? I need to practice more!
Later I went to a small HK cuisine restaurant to have my supper, I found myself eating much less after the accident, great that I can shed weight without too much effort. haha. Next week will be Holy Spirit Descension day. Expecting...

Saturday

Today, I woke up quite early about 9am, I went to buy a scanner:-) later went to the bank and helping my colleague to buy some barbecue folks, it's very hard to get them here, coz they're not very popular. After everything had been done was already about 19:00. So boring a day.
I will be scanning all my pictures into my computer tonight:-) It's good that my scanner is a super slim one, so even if I haven't finish, I could have brought it to shanghai, so it's very good a choice to choose Cannon, i know other brands are doing better but they're too big, I cannot bear my scanner bigger than my super slim printer, haha. If I don't like it I could have buy a new one:-) Scanner is even cheaper than a mobile phone! I also need a good digital camera but I need to wait a little bit longer:-) Be patient...

Fill in myself before giving something away

Suddenly I see that I did so little to myself...I contribute only my talents, my power and my hardwork to my company, my church and my family...but not my happiness to them... that's why I feel so reluctant to do so many things...working for money, pleasing others, bear all the hardship in my heart, share with none my work load...and forever seems so responsible...
If an ice cream can satisfy me, why do i keep fasting and make myself grievy? Be good to myself and so that I will enjoy and be others joy, I just like a water pool give water without new water came in...after I'm dry...there'd be nothing to hope for. So I need is just to satisfy myself first and serve others! I can gain power from the beautiful world God provided me, the beautiful people God set around me, and also the beautiful prayer the church taught me to say...
So tomorrow I am gonna shopping for my shopping list! Haha! Great!
A scanner for home use, a new digital camera, and some barbecue folks:-D I love my thought! Go and buy them tomorrow morning!~~heart flying~~

Recall yesterday

One day after my injury, Vinnie came to see me at my home, about 7:30pm, we were eating together and chating happily...She brought me sun flowers and lot's of wonderful things I loved, like the tarts and others:-) I love them very much and what I treasure the most is the kindness from her:-) When my father was sick last year, Miho came to the hospital and visited my dady immediately after I sent the prayer requesting message, her kindness touched me alot, same issue happened to me...I feel super touched...I am really grateful for so many great friends that I have! I love all of them and enjoy very much their being with me!
I ate the foods all day long but still finished just a little part of it, after my injury I am really tending to be a girlish girl, haha, wearing woman cloths and speak and behave like a lady, even I eat less than before~~oh my God! Good!
God bless Vinnie to be a Christian as soon as possible~ How much I wish her to see the beauty of God and his mighty! And enjoy being with our community, that will really give her love and carings like brethrens.
Although I don't know what to do with myself...I had been thinking of leaving CFC...but I still appreciate the beauty from my brethrens in Christ and their help to me, maybe I just got bored for so many years, I need some rest? Wish so, anyway, everything will be talked about after I come back! I will be choosing a right answer then! God please hear me and help me to serve you with my best!

Awful experience with the taxi guy!

After the dinner I came home alone.
I was riden a subway to Xizhimen, and took a taxi home, coz the taxi's a little far from me, I mistakenly took the non-licensed taxi, that's really made my night bad that time...the driver's really dangerous to me, he asked everything of me, I told him that I am a king-boxer which I used to be in my youth, I just would scare him, coz his words and actions are so bad...sexual harrasement I could had sue him, but since I didn't even gave him an eye, he wasn't doing too much, just somehow touched my arm and leg...shit guy!
At last I was safely home! Oh my God! Since I have no much time to sue him this time! I spare him a life, if next time I ever see him there seducing other girls, I would immediately copy his car license number and sue him! Such an awful person...
Why these days I had so many strange things happen, both the most beautiful and the most ugly...
My colleague said right, although he's a protestant, maybe God wants you to find out something in your life, pray for his wisdom and ask for his mercy...if continue to be like this...is not very nice...I am not superstitious, I don't believe how fateful it will be but...I really need some prayers...

The wonderful dinner

I love tonight! The great night dinner I ever had, I had got all my greatest friends, and all my loved ones, including my most favorite flower! There's never a person gave flower I love the most! Thanks be to God! I got them tonight!
My dearest friends: Malcolm, Angeline, Darren, Zsa, Paul and Grace were there for me, I am the seventh person:-) So we had a perfect dinner altogether! I love all of you!
Our dinner was reserved about 7:15pm, I was there early because I had nothing to do and no where to go after my work. I arrived and soon saw Angeline and Paul came to me, with a bunch of my most favorite flower-Zantedeschia aethiopica (Linn.) Spreng.-I don't know the Latin name of this flower, got just now, haha. Anyway, I love it!
And Malcolm and Darren were sitting beside me, I chat with Malcolm the most, and it's the first time he talk to much to me, I like the way he talks tonight, I also like the topic, so I enjoyed listening very much even forgot the time's already sliping away fast. We are just like brother and sister, talk about life and love of family...So good! And so touching an experience...I wish I had such a family like his...a big family with so much love to one another! How great a gift from God! And this is such a wonderful growing cradle for him so long...that's why he's so great! I seldom envy a guy's family or talents, but to him, I really feel that kind of admiration! Like from heaven, on earth there's a place like that, on earth there're people like that...just beside me...Thanks be to God!
We talked until we could no longer talk, coz it's late, and we all went home, before we departed, I gave each one of them a hug...maybe I missed Paul...yeah, haha, I gave him a special fist~~
Later I decided to ride the subway, so Darren was sending me to the station with his small embrella, he holded me tight with his arm, like my younger brother though he's elder than me, haha, very warm and safe, we watched the rain came down from heaven, and blinking in the street lamp, this sight I heard from friends for so long and tonight I witnessed, really great! Next time I must bring a camera and take the rain and snow came down in Guomao bridge! It's really Romantic! And very nice!
one hour later I arrived home and finished my day...Such a beautiful night!

Small accident! haha

While preparing to meet my friends, I had to make up my face in the bathroom, one of my colleague came in and had a very casual chat with me, said some thing like take care and so on, suddenly she asked of me, Hey, are you going to meet your boyfriend, never seen you make up so carefully, and I said, oh, not only boys, but also girls, then she replied, Oh I knew long time ago you're bi-sixual...then I said, oh dear~~I am~~then she realized she was wrong, said, oh sorry, I know you're a lesbian~~~oh my God!!!
Haha!!! Why always me!!! Maybe I am too attractive to girls, haha...

Great! I got my blogger back!

I think the google blog has some problems, it's quite strange, I cannot link to the blog site from Chinese computer, for my own convenience to use blog both at home and at work, i decide to use a Chinese based blog site as this one based in Sina.com.cn. I feel a little strange to write English blog in Chinese site, I will try again on Google blogger later! I will make it beautiful and read worthy:-DMy colleague kindly gave me some coffee which I used to like very much, but today, I don't know why, after the coffee I feel very dizzy and want to vomit...oh my goodness! Maybe also because of the traffic accident!So I kindly remind everyone who read my blog that please be careful while walking, riding or driving on the road, it's very dangerous on Beijing road, the driver won't be responsible at all, so you must be super careful of your own safety! God bless you!I will be preparing for my wonderful expecting dinner! Sharing you later:-D

Welcome To Bernadette's Blogger

I am so happy today that I have got my first Blogger from Google, I just set up my Album few days ago and now I have my blogger! Great! I love it! This is how a girl change after joined a computer company for just few weeks:-) It's normal for other people, but for me--such a girl look like from the terra-cotta warrior's pit--an antique can manage computer is really rare enough. Haha. For this, please keep an eye on my blogger and kindly give me your recommandation:-)

Yeah, one thing I would ask for is that I just had a traffic accident two days ago, it's not too serious but quite bad for me, got eye and face bleed, also hurt my arm! The driver had ran away, even the people around me did not even lift me up but just watching from afar!
Fortunately I have so many friends, I had so many carings from them, Vinnie came to see me last night and brought me beautiful flowers, cookies, tarts, and even some fried pig hands, haha she said it's very good for my face recovery, my dear Vinnie! She's so sweet, we'd been chatting till about 9pm and she left my place.
Actually not only Vinnie, other brothers and sisters are also showing their carings to me, Malcolm gave me the first caring call, Angeline and Grace and Paul gave me sms to say hello and how are you everyday...I am going to have a dinner with some of them tonight as my farewell party, I am going to Kunshan-Shanghai next Monday. So happy to have such a long term business travel the first time in my life!
Back to my accident, I tried to sue the ran away driver but the policemen told me that I'd been fallen in between of two police station's range, so I am not protected! What a shit answer, he also asked me to go to a super far police station--the so called Beijing transportation station--to sue the driver and less than 1% that he would be found! So I gave up my mind to sue them, at least I don't have enough time to deal with them! Shit!
Anyway...I am almost okay today! So I will happily have my dinner with my dear friends tonight and say my farewell! Angeline, Malcolm, Paul, Darren, Grace, Zsa, Dhelle and of course myself! Okay. I am gonna post this blogger now and prepare for my dinner:-D I will try my best to make up my scars in my face and cover them with fine foundations...since this is the basic polite I have to my friends, I don't want to scare them with my bloody face:-D
It's look very cloudy just now, i wish the weather would be okay until we finish our dinner, I wish this dinner would be long enough for us to enjoy being with each other!
God bless each one of us!

May 2 Xi'an Travel Second Day

8:00am, Paul woke me up, I was a bit sleepy.
I had breakfast with his family together, since I never drink the soybean milk, Paul drank for me, hehe, I am so lucky, if my father force my to drink either ran away or pour it behind him, hehe, I am too picky, never got a glass of soybean milk in my whole life.
By the introduction of his sister, Paul went to see the dentist in Sianyang city, it's a little bit far, and the dentist's a little too small, Paul tolerated a lot for the dentist to cut his teeth~ I dare not to look at him directly, might be disturbing the doctor, at first I thought to get my teeth fixed also here, after his operation I decided not. scaring~ Actually I'd been long time didn't go to the dentist, after I came back beijing I went to see the dentist, she made me super painful! I just realized how much Paul tolerated that man~oh my God!
Later his family and me altogether went to the supermarket called Kare, it's a big supermarket, almost the same as beijing Carrefour, the super girl's having promotion, very noisy outside, later we went home.
We three people, Paul, his nephew, and me went to travel in Sanyuan city, we ate our lunch first at 3pm, during the lunch I was playing with my spoon and broke it, I used shanxi dialect to apologize to the waitress, she didn't charge me extra but also gave us some small discount! So kind of her! Later we went to the city's temple, it's very beautiful, I took picture crazily, it's very historical, we went to the New dragon's bridge after, and took picture there. We also passed by a big church, it's very beautiful we took picture outside.
Dear God! I love this place!
On our way to the supermarket, Paul was the bicycle driver, carrying me, he dared to blame me too heavy!~ I almost gave him a fall, considering I am also on the same bicycle, I spared him~
The days' for the celebration of his father's birthday, I decided to cook for him! I grabed Paul to purchase vegetable with me, I also bought some red candles for the sign of good luck. I cooked 4dishes and one soup, I consider them delicious, I also sang a happy birthday song for his father, that year's his 68th birthday.
After the super happy dinner together with the whole family, his father was talking to me alone, he took out all of the albums and showing me the pictures and the stories behind the pictures, i love to listen to the stories of how a person's growing. After Paul came back seeing me reading his Albums he sat beside my bed and told me the stories all over again~ theyr'e so interesting, he added the stories during his collage and work. He graduated the same year with Miho. Later we listened MP3 in his room, reading other more recent pictures, DV, and also the Kangsi coming TV program. Super interesting!
Later I was writing my diary. super happy a day!!!

May 1 2006 Xi'an Travel First Day

This morning 7:00am I arrived Xi'an train station after one night's travel, there're a lot of people, I checked out and went out of station, Paul and I sent the other two friends to the bus station. We walked straight ahead to the north church. On the way, Paul had to make phone calls to his friends to remind them that he's already there at Xi'an, but he almost left his mobile there, my God, fortunately I was there with him, hehe. We went to the church and saw a priest's father there, he gave him a lot of contact Paul needs, he also told us how to go here and there in Xi'an coz Paul had been long time not home. He took us to visit the church at second floor for Mass celebration. We met a catholic who's having a Panda tatoo on his arm, the priest's father jokingly called him bad person because of the tatoo~hehe, they're very kind and interesting.
Later we went to the South gate, inside the city wall, there're really few people despite of the May holiday, we ate some snacks on the street and went to see Fr.Steven, he's the secretary of bishop, he introduced to me their charity responsibilities.
Later we went to see a friend of Paul, coz she lives in the city, easier for me to travel instead of living in Paul's place. We went to a middle sized restaurant and ordered some food, I like the food and enjoyed talking with them, later we went to the Shanxi Province museum, it's the best museum I'd ever been to. I felt the artworks reflect the soul of the arts who made them for the funeral of the great emperor, though they know it's just for the dead, never will be exposed, but they made them so marvelous, so much a wonder! We'd also been to the Dayan Tower square to buy some small arts, I just got two purses, I always buy purses by my interest, hehe, it's all hand made. I love them.
Later we went back to the north church to get my luggage to go to Paul's place, he's living in Sanyuan village, the north of Xi'an, we arrived late, about 8pm. It's already dark, so I only followed his steps not daring to look anywhere else, he even forgot how to go home! My God, we had to walk a little big long to find his way back home, at last we got there, later I greeted his parents and relatives, later I went to his room to look at his pictures, I slept with his sister and the daughter.
We slept safe and sound to the next morning.
That's the first day!
