samye2002-2-28-Diary-001: Why this?

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛2002-2-28-Diary-001: Why this?
I have submited my case to HK just before year 2000 and got my FN in
2000/01. After such a long time waiting for the interview, just like
many of you, I know my english still not good enough. As you know now,
the new regulation in going to take effect, whenever it is our english
should be improved as much as we can. Reading, writing and oral, every
single one affect our fate directly.
I have planed all this for three years; I have changed my job because
I want to immigrate to Canada; My wife still doing her boring programer
job(according to herself); We got married in early year 2002... Every
thing we do, We think about the immigration. Life has been changed a lot
since I decided to apply for the Visa. So I can't lose. I must try my
best to get what I should get, do what I should do. That is my destiny.
So I want to improve my english in a very short time.
Reading: New York Times
Chicken Soup
Oral: Meeting with foreigner
Writing: Write diary to improve my skill on word and sentence.

I would like to see someone else do the same thing with me, which keep
me feeling there are companies, which keep me feeling the vigor in our
Chinese people.
Tough way ahead but I won't be afraid, I will make it, just like many of
you.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

    2002-2-28-Diary-000: Opening
    Today is my first day to write my english diary. Hopefully I can improve
    my writing skill in a short time. And I am going to post every one of
    them on Rolia. I input such a little in Rolia although I read it every
    single day. It is time for me to write something, whatever it is. Maybe
    lots of your guy will be boring reading this, if so, just forget it. But
    if someone would like to correct my error, I would be very thankful to
    your kindly help.
    So let's do it!

      My wife get an interview today. She was laid off days ago but she got
      couple interviews yesterday. I have been worried for her these days.
      After all, we are not wealthy and the job market in this city is not so
      optimistic. I am proud of her. Maybe it is not so bad in the job market,
      maybe many other companies are better than our, maybe it is time for us to
      change a little bit.
      I have been in this company for almost three years now. First BroadVision,
      and then CORBA, and these days J2EE. I seems that J2EE has a bright future
      last year, but I still don't know if J2EE/EJB will make it. .NET seems
      getting closer and closer. But anyhow, since I have been working on
      J2EE/EJB such a long time, I am not going to switch my way in the coming
      months. I still believe if you have solid knowledge in one particular
      subject, you can find your place in Canada. Yes, that is the one we
      are fighting for, once we got job in Canada, we can survive and we can
      succeed. Our dreams can never come true if we have no job.
      I don't believe in LUCK since I have got little luck in my life. I believe
      in myself, I believe in diligence, I believe my own hand. I have been
      waiting long enough to lost my patient but I will still wait and see
      what I am going to get.
      My little honey should finish her interview now. How is that go? I am eager
      to know. Love you little honey!更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

      It has been almost half year since Sep 11. The first time I got this news
      live from TV, I didn't know what it's going on because all I saw is smoke from
      one tall building and frighten people. I have though it was a scene from
      movie but after a while I noticed it was not a movie but live from New York.
      The building spreading smoke high in the sky is the beautiful WTC, which
      I saw on the Late Night Show with David Letterman almost every night. I can't
      believed it at that time and even feel wonder when I heard the U.S. government
      forbad all other planes to take off.
      Later when I figured out what was happening, to my surprise, I felt a little
      happy because I thought finally arrogant American got their lessons. They were
      pushing too hard anywhere in the world these days. They should know there are
      some many cultures they should pay respect to, not just do what they
      want. But after couple days and recently I saw the Portrait of the Grieve
      on NYT.com, I feel sorry for the lives lost in Sep. 11 and the families
      they left behind. I agree with my wife, the only suffered is our ordinary
      people, without power, without much money, we suffer because some powerful man
      don't agree with another. They declared war, they ordered to fight, but we
      died. I believe most of us love peace and don't want war. I believe most
      of us just want to make some more money, raise our family and have a good
      time. We don't hate each other.
      May God bless all of the innocent people died on Sep 11.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

    • 2002-03-11-Diary-004 Waiter
      本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛2002-03-11-Diary-004 Waiter
      Yesterday is my second day being a waiter. It is really hard for me,
      although I am not telling anyone but it is really hard. I understand
      why people talking about how hard the life is making a living as a
      waiter/waitress or some labor job. I will show more respect to the
      waiter/waitress because I understand how hard it is and I am one of
      them now, although I will quit after a week.
      I have a part-time job in the Mexican restaurant. Almost all of the
      customers are foreigners, and our boss is a young lady who got one master
      degree from U.S.A and come back last year to open her Mexican restaurant.
      It's really funny these two days. The first day I went there, we got no
      one customer all night. But on the second day, we got over 20 customers
      at the same time, we work and work and work till 3:00pm to have our
      lunch. I was exhausted and dying for water and food because I did not
      have any water or breakfast that morning. We stand there till 10:00pm
      event there was no customer, or we had to reset the tables once the
      customer went away. All I can say is tired, really tired.
      What I got yesterday is 83 yuan tips. I had made up my mind that I will
      not use a dime of it. I'll put it away and let them be a memory of mine.
      Maybe one day I have to do some labor job in Canada. I think this tips
      will give me strength if I feel frustrated or losing hope. I must survive
      no mater what happen. Of cause I will not prefer to do labor job in
      Canada, but if I have to do so to survive, I will.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

      I had quit my job last night. I am a little disappointed at being there.
      I have to do the waiter job but not to speak english or make some friends
      with the foreigners. I think it is hard for a waiter to make friends with
      some customers. It is possible but the chance is just too limited.
      All night long most of the time we just do some cleaning or standing there,
      talking to each other with Chinese or teaching some English to a little
      girl. I did learn some english there like taco, burrito, and the use of
      ma'am and "you bet", but I think I can learn a lot by staying home watching
      David Letterman too.
      I will still go there to try to make some foreign friends. I am dying for
      speaking English. I think my listening ability is much better than mine
      speaking, all I have to do is open my mouth and say something. But it's
      really hard to find some opportunity in China.
      The boss is a young U.S.A returned master Chinese lady, but sometimes
      she is so testy and mean that I can't take it. Maybe it is the way she
      treat her waiter/waitress but I really don't see any respect she had said
      to me before. But her English speak so good that I wish I can speak just
      like her.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

      本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛2002-03-20-Diary-007 Penpal
      Last night I went to www.efrendz.com and sent hundreds messages trying
      to make friends all over the world. Maybe I can write to them from time
      to time and improve my writing. More ever I will learn how they live, how
      they feel and how they think. It is very important to overcome the
      culture shock. I think it is one of my reason to immigrate to Canada.
      But if I want to know them, why wait until I get out of here? I can do
      it now, I don't have to wait. Books tell us don't wait until you 'must'
      do something else first, if you can do it now, do it. It sounds reasonable
      if you want an active life.
      I have some many messages and email to reply that I think I will be a
      little tired tonight. Although I had send hundreds of message and just
      receive about 10 message and email, I don't feel disappointed because I
      think it is just the way it should be. And I think I will lost couple
      of them as time pass. But eventually I will get two or three of them, to
      be my regular penpal. It sounds nice, right?
      Long way ahead and I will make it!更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
