Update from Tainan

Back in my hometown - Tainan city, best known for street food & betel nut xishi.

Quick update from last week:
Found a great club to bring my jiemeis!
Ok I didn't find it, my colleague Emily brought me there. Hip hop, ok crowd, not TOO young. Just have to get used to the DJ saying "come on everybody!! - in Mandarin). One night of this & another night for cheena band, I think the nightlife part of their fictitious trip is set.

My jeans are TIGHT. Enough said. I am so screwed.
I better lose weight before going back to Spore. The Veri Itchy critics there are already on standby

Boss...not Hugo
- Putting in a lot of effort to better "manage" me
- Finally structured a proper training & development prog for me (although 3 mths too late... guess it's better then never).
- Took my feedbacks during our one-one the right way.
- Still annoys me a little from time to time.
But I think things will definitely be ok.... hmmm he better not be reading this blog... Actually its ok lah, I'm sure I constantly annoy him as well.

I can't get a bleeding CREDIT CARD!!
Disclaimer: I am NOT at all highly paid by Spore standards. In fact, I am very poor.
Hello?? Considering the measly salary level in Taiwan (in general), I think I am very qualified for a credit card loh!! I got rejected by 2 banks!!! One bank didn't even let me submit my application! I asked some other foreigners I know, not ONE holds Twn a credit card. One of them has been married to a Taiwanese for the last 2 years! Seriously, I think Taiwan has to loosen up a bit on their banking regulations. Cannot make it man!!!
wah so shiok to KB in Singlish!!

Work
Finally I am starting to a little progress for some of my projects. For a while I was screaming for attention but everyone was so pre-occupied by other matters to pay me attention. Things will be great in the year of the Rat!
