Oops, it's been more than a month...

Let's quickly recap what has happened:
• Didn't go to the ColdPlay concert >_< • Went to HK for nearly 4 weeks • Met many old friends • Met some long-time-no-see extended family • Went to fish with parents • Went to cycle with parents • Ate alot of food • Played some street basketball with old friends • Attended a wedding on my birthday • Went to Shenzhen with my parents • Played some golf • Helped to make some decisions • Spent the count down in cinema • Explored Ma Wan • Had a short trip to Shenzhen • Spent quite resonably much time with parents

Not alot has been done really, one month is abit too long for holiday, plus the fact that HK isn't a place that I want to stay that long.

It's strange that this year, I don't have much feeling about Christmas and New Year, may be it's because that I don't have anything to look forward to.

Anyway, although I did have some fun and happy time during the time in HK, but I guess the reason that I didn't blog was because overall, the holiday wasn't the happiest that I would like to remember...

They were once MINE, but now... no more.... T_T

If you have regularly read my blog, you can find my previous post about the Coldplay concert that I was longing to go to, it's this Sunday, I was all very excited about it from the moment I bought the tickets.

Today, it all changed, we can't go to that concert anymore, not only the concert, but everything else that has planned... from now till the end of the year, now they are not going to happen.

It really is a shame... but there is something more important than everything else in life, things that money can't buy.

Can't believe it's December already. It's always scary when I realised it's December, because it means a year is about to end and it's time to reflect on what I've done / achieved in the past year.

I didn't dare to look back yet, just need to work extra hard this month and hope to catch up.

December also means that I'm about to get older... arrrrrrrrrrrr~

Da da~~~~~~~~~~

My new NOOKA watch arrived!!!!

It was an accident. I didn't plan to buy it that night, but I was too tired, went to collect my brother at the airport early in the morning, then sort things out before Law went to HK. I was so tired and sleepy in the evening that I accidentally went on Amazon and saw the watch is £10 cheaper than before, so I didn't think about it and bought it.

I didn't really remember it until I received an email saying that it is dispatched, haha... and now it's on my arm, yeh yeh~~

Well, it is abit too wide, but I like it, it's cool~~~~~~~~~~~~

So after decision made, I have put my full attention to the business.

Nothing much happened really, just work and getting myself into the business world. Especially now that Law is back to HK for 3 weeks, I need to take control of everything. I think it's a good thing, so that I can really put myself into his shoes, see the business inside out. It's no better way to learn by running the business yourself.

Anyway, since the distance to work from home is abit far, takes about 20 mins for fast walking, so we took our old school scooters out and "scoot" to work, as I call it. It takes 12 min door to door, pretty good, and I get to exercise and sweat a little to and from work everyday. I'm so healthy, haha~~

Yup, went to Grimsby again for a site visit, because I got through the last interview. This time they want me to have a look at the area and the site, know the team, and want me to be sure that I want to move up there.

I agreed to go, since I wasn't sure if I should give it a try.

I went up on Sunday evening, as I was going to the train station, I remember very well that I didn't want to go, I had such a strong feeling that I didn't want to go else where but London. As soon as I stepped on the train, I told myself that I need to remember this feeling. No matter how much they can convince me after this trip, I need to remember this strong feeling deep inside me.

Sunday wasn't a good day for a rain journey, no train was running between Doncaster and Grimsby, so I need to take a replacement coach that took 2 hours to get there. I landed in Premier Inn for a night, but the room was freezing, heater didn't work probably, but I didn't find out or complaint about it, couldn't be bothered.

Next day, had a big fat breakfast at the hotel then wait for the people to pick me up for a ride around the city. The tour was long, I had a good look at Grimsby, it's a nice town, got everything you need and a seafront, even has a little airport for holiday makers.

After the tour, we went to the office and I had a medical check. They checked my height, weight, eye sight, lung capacity, blood pressure, urine and listening. After the tests, I've been told that I'm fit in every ways, except my left ear. It wasn't a shock, it's a family thing, I know that I have hearing difficulties on my left ear, but didn't know that it's significant enough to be found. The doctor said that I need to get it checked every year to see if it got any worsen.

Then I joined the sales team and went to have a big fat lunch, it was fun. Everyone was very easy to talk to, they made the atmosphere very relaxing and easy for me to blend in. I guess it's because they are all sales and marketing people, so they know how to start a conversation etc. We had a long lunch and delayed all my schedule!!

Back to the site, I went on a tour around the plant and then had a final talk with the manager and HR. Everything was good, they gave me the offer in the end, it was what I asked for plus some relocation package, but I let them know that I still have concern about moving far away from home, and that I will seriously think about it and reply asap.

I was still unsure when I left the office and board on the train, since everyone was so nice, the package was attractive, and I like the job nature. However, after the few hours of thinking on the train back to London, I have decided, I have decided to decline the offer and stay in London.

It wasn't the easiest decision to make, and I have put alot of thoughts into it, hope my decision would be good.

I'm really thankful for this whole experience, I have proven myself that I can look for a decent job on my own, it's good to know that my experience is sufficient to get a job. Also another important thing to get out of this is to find out the problem with my left ear...
