Some where over the rainbow

Six months some people say is a long period of time. Some may say that 6 months come and go in a blink of an eye. The last six months when I stay in hall two… time really passes like a bullet train. Right now I am starting to get used to life here in the new city which I shall be calling my home for the next six months. The company I have been assigned to is Corning shanghai fiber optics. Life there is not very good. The job that was assigned to me sound so difficult its like asking me to climb a mountain wearing a pair of slippers. Hours of the days are spent going into the production area which I have to wear that stupid clean suit. If not, I will sit at my office spot reading some stupid stuffs which are all in Chinese. Yes this will be my life for at least a few weeks before my school starts and the working days will be cut to 4. Anyway, whenever there is free time, sure must enjoy.

The most recent decent place we went is Ikea. Its also comprises of two storey like Singapore. However its much more bigger. The food is quite cheap too. After a feast, we walking 1 round and bought some small stuff for my apartment.

But every time after work, after we go out, after all the fun and laugher, I will return home alone. Its like living on a mountain top(cos i stay at 17 floor). Quite sad... I sleep rather early because I have to wake up early for work. I also dread that morning bath… the stupid water right, when hot it will go hotter and hotter. But when I turn the tap to make it slightly cold, it will start to go colder and colder… but I am naked and its like 6 plus in the morning… I cannot imagine myself doing that in Singapore.
But one week has passed with me doing that every morning cos I know I will feel better after that.

I always believed that happiness tastes best when its been shared. And when sadness is shared, it is easier to bear. Just like when my mother cooks something she thinks is nice, she will always ask me to eat. Similarly, when I helped my mum mop the kitchen floor together, I know she will feel much better. Like a comedian on stage, to him its an enjoyment to make people laugh even though he has a make a fool of himself. If there is someone out there whom you want to share a good dish with, sit on the long bus trip with, be there to dry the tears, and share everything that is good and bad with, I believe, life is really an enjoyment.
