溫蒂英倫記事

the sites i contributed to of course is Chinese speaking countries,
including Taiwan, Hong Kong and China,
i think it would be a very interesting and challenging job,
cause actually everyone is totally responsible for his/ her site.
i started from translation, and the further business development also rely on me,
basically no one will interfere (help? XD)
just like run a starup web business by myself

actually im not confident,
but im lucky, 
i think they are willing to give us time to familiar with those jobs
my coworkers are friendly and willing to teach me
maybe it is becuz we all come from different countries,
so no one speak difficult or fast English
(except bosses= = )

the problem of me is that i feel i cant really concentrate on work= = 
i think i should improve the concentration a lot...

another strange feeling is that i dont work overtime here,
which is totally different from the Yahoo life,

i have no time to work overtime.... becuz i have another job in the evening 
somehow makes me feel uneasy, maybe the bosses think im not work hard enough..
 
im a waitress from 7 to 11
 
i worked in KOI since the first day i arrived london,
i had terrible time ,
cause i think english-japanese dishes names are hard to remember,
and restaurant is a quite fast path environment,
some people speak fast and strongly, 
as im a sensitive, fragile XDD unmature girl who rarely blamed by teachers, parents or any bosses,
i felt very unhappy
i felt i didnt have problems when i was in 品鮮屋 , why here? 
 
however, as the staff is generally very nice,
i didnt leave there
somehow they give me a sense of home?
if i dont eat they show their concern
if i have any questions i can ask them cause they live in london for long time
and the major advantage is that i dont have to worry about food anymore,
becuz i can take away the staff meal

actually i feel that after i start office job, i go to the restaurant completely without brain
only use hand, mouth and feet to work.
so normally make mistakes..break glasses. make wrong order..
however, as my body now get used to these routine work,
the mistakes become fewer..

i also learn something from our manager..hahaha
because i think he treats people quite genteelly and tenderly
if we break glasses he wont blame us, he asks do we get hurt or not
i think i should be take care of other people like him
another thing l learned from restaurant is 厚臉皮 hahaha
becuz blamed so often so now im not so fragile (but still...)
 
 
the problem now is that i still not familiar with wine...
very difficult to remember and recognize those strange and long name,
and i still cant use an opener to open a bottle by myself >___

anyway 
actually it is out of my plan,
at first i thought i can have a normal OL life,
work hard during daytime and have rest after office hour 
but the life expense and tax is too high,
i feel that i cant save money on the daytime salary..
even people said that at my age the most important thing is experience,
but i think i already graduated, i dont want to go back to tw with no money...
i should see myself as other freshmen in tw
no one will say that "focus on experience rather than savings" to a freshmen in tw, right?
(as long as the industry or job is not too different)

Im a freelance writer
ok.. actually this job annoyed me now
cause it is the job i found when i still was in Lancaster,
it is an unpaid intern,
i dont have to go to office but need to send them translation or articles every week

the magazine is a man life style magazine. which talking about horse racing, gambling and sport 
(so thats men's life...?)
so the content is actually not interesting to me at all,
and as im already very busy, so i have to  squeeze time to do this job..which makes me very intensive
(i dont know when they will ask me to do what work)

however.. i still should be grateful that i can got the media experiences in the uk
and it is somehow good to see my name show on the magazine...
i can show my parents... haha
anyway.. still hope the 3-month internship end quickly Orz
 
 

My language swap partners
 
i have just a little free time,
when i am free, i practice Japanese and English with my language swap partners
i think it is the most exciting part of my london life
yuichi is a very very friendly guy,
he is the first partner i met,
at first i thought i might be very nervous about language swap,
cause im not good at chatting with people/
However, i can only use "amazing" to describe my feeling after the first meeting
i cant believe that  i can talk freely in front of him (but in English, hope one day i can use Japanese)

there are many friendly people,
but i think im too sensitive? 怪人一個就是...
usually feel uneasy in front of others,
so there are only very few people can let me open heart and talk freely,
nonsense, stupid joke...etc

but i think after my text book arrived, i should study jp more systematically.. hahaha 

Will is my English - Mandarin swap partner,
he is a true londoner, and his British accent is so beautiful! i reallyove it!
his Chinese level is already very good, so we dont have to sit in front of desk and study
last time i invited Angela and we cooked together
(he cooks very well)
it is my first time to enter a British house!!!

meet him let me feel that im really live in the UK!!
cause there are only 2 british guy in EBIN
and 1 biritsh only work twice a day in my office
the only british i had chance to talk to is my dear professor Mary
(hahaha. their surname is the same, a friendly surname? XDD)

Chatting with Will let me understand UK more, from culture, food to music.
t im really happy to meet  friendly and cute londener!!!
and because he had lived in China for a year, so we can have some discussion about tw,uk and china
i have to say his understanding about china is much more than a lot of Taiwanese

this is shot by yuichi
very nature picture, i like it

i feel very grateful, cuase im a lazy girl,
even i received a lot of mail , but just lose contact with them.
only yuichi and will keep writing to me, or we dont have chance to meet
(so sometimes force power is necessary hahaha)


My Home and Flatmate
I am so lucky to live in the most safe area in london,
actually it is an expensive area, but this house is relatively cheaper,
and i share this one bedroom flat with a chinese girl,
yes , it is an ONE Bedroom flat, so actually  I LIVE IN THE LIVING ROOM WHICH WITH KITCHEN
somehow amazing? but i dont know.... i dont care about it too much
first of all, i seldom at home,
second, im not a person who very keen to protect about privacy...
i feel it is somehow ok,,,

the most wonderful thing of living here is that it is located between the office and restaurant,
so i can walk to office, walk back from restaurant everyday
which saves a lof money,,,,
london's transportation is amazing expensive,
one bus cost 2 pound, travel one time between zone 1- zone 2 cost 1.8 pound
can you imagine that you spend 100 nt dollar for a single bus?

luckily i like walking

My flatmate is somehow also my soul mate?
maybe i have to say that we are very similar,
young girl just graduated and working in london,
she is graduated last year and working in an investment company
but that is not the main thing, 
the main point is that we are both MESSY IN LIFE AND SERIOUS IN WORK
we cant remember who we met, where we went, but always remember what work we have done
hahaha..
somehow makes me relax,,,
i think i would feel uneasy to stay with a person who is over clean..

however, life is getting better,
as i decide to stay here for long term
so i started to decorate my tiny space,
pink drawer is already assembled done.
ad this weekend i will collect my new digital piano..
thanks to my mom forced me to learn it,
so that help me conform the loneness 

back to my flatmate,
she is very outgoing and easygoing,
somehow admire you,
i would like to try drunk one time like her normally does

we share almost everything,
somehow also matches me,
cause i dont care about share with others, but i know it doesnt means that people need to share with me,
with her , we just like family,
i can use her red bean to make buns,
she can use my endless lunch boxes.
thats good!!

after dumping, homeless and jobless,
now life getting better 
dear little Wendy
please fight and live happily in London!!
