Today I was having a meeting with my supply manager, his purchaser and 2 japanese suppliers. These 2 japs were supplying us some car spare parts, and conversed in japanese among themselves. As we need to discuss some confidential issues among ourselves too, we have no choice but to converse in dialects. Unfortunately, I SUX big time in dialects, and have a hard time trying to understand what my purchaser and manager were talking abt in cantonese.

Language barrier has always been one of my greatest hindrance in my life, be it in the army or work place. I can only speak mandarin and english... and thats really a great disadvantage, esp when working outside. Almost everyone can speak english and chinese well, so it will be valued added if you can speak beyond 2 languages.

This evening i went to shop for CNY clothes. Its actually not considered too early already as i am sure a few weeks later, you will see all the boutiques crowded with shoppers, with the clothes strewn all over the shop. Worse still, you will have a very hard time getting the sizes you want, esp for males who wear the popular waist size of 29-32. The queues for the fitting rooms will be very long, and the sales assistants will be too busy to serve you. Choices will be less too...

G2000 is now having a great sale. So attention to all guys who are interesting in getting formal shirts and pants, the shirt cost as cheap as $19 now while the pants cost a super low price of $23. The usual price during non festive season was $29 for a shirt and $59 for a pair of pants. Bu Mai zhen de shi dui bu qi zi ji, esp its something i need to wear everyday.

Targetting next are a pair of leather shoes and a pair of swimming goggles.
