first day work!

I was very excited, no doubt. And because it was so exciting, so new, so cool, it turns out that I was very tired too. 8 hours working was not a big deal, but kept learning something new non-stop for 8 hours was really something! It was like forcing a sprinter to join marathon, he is still good at exercise, but not the type of muscle which marathoner needs, at least, not yet. But, luckily, I have many personal trainers...gay trainers...and they are super nice to be honest. Also the department store is in a massively, crazily huge size. half of it is a dazzling shopping mall, and another half of it just like the tunnel for mine field, bad air circulation, plain interior design and almost too sad to be presented to the public. when you face the sun, the shadow is behind you. Indeed, the other side of smiling face to the customers is a tired spirit. So the glorious window displays are actually built up by dirty, gloomy working pathways behind it. Well, lesson learned. Also, how to keep yo

LONDON STREET

something new, something old

This is the line from one UK local fashion store, Although it is the same meaning as "sales continue" this slogan is much more beautiful and even more sentimental for me. Clothing is something going out of date quickly than other things nowadays, and it is not because the quality is getting worse, but because it is actually too good to be worn out. Why is that? because the clothes are too durable so the stores have to come up with new trick such as "fashion". Once the function of the clothing is detached from the protection, wearing a shirt is no longer as simple as keeping you warm. It is something can define yourself or change yourself, of course, the premise is that you are deceived by the term of fashion and want to be the boggiest fool. I am not that fool, but is not as awake as the people in the old time, and that is why my the size of my wardrobe is almost the same as my girlfriend. there is always something old in my wardrobe and it always needs something ne

New life in London

I moved to here almost 10 days ago, but have just settled 20 hours ago. Everyone needs a room, a room which can be messed or decorated by his own will, of course, in my case, by the will of both of us. It is fine, totally fine, as long as we can have our room. the previous tenants couldn't move out on time, and because I am a good person, so we stay on the floor of living room for another few nights. I am amazed by the desire of longing for a new room from my heart, it is so strong, too strong to wait for another day to move in after the minute the previous tenants say bye to me. New bed setting, new arrangement of the furniture, new home for my clothes, everything is in order after non-stop cleaning and unpacking for few hours and even the peace lily travelled from Leeds with us finally can spread his leaves happily in the corner of new room. But we are not very familiar with this room yet, at least, not when we were sleeping. I had too many crazy dreams last night, but we will be

new job in hand now

Life is dramatic, if you look closely enough. Last minute I drop countless CVs in almost every shops in the central London and wait for the response restlessly and there is not even a postive answer for me. Next minute I have to reject, block, or even lie to the coming phone calls because there are too many job-offers for me to choose and I can only accept one, of course. Although I could accept any one of them before I hand in my CV to them, it is only one place that I like most (and expect call-back least). Luckily, the manager from that place finally called me a day before I went to sign the contract with the other company. In order to get get interview with the store I like most and hold the other offer as a back-up, I tried to get to meet the manager 2 hours before I have to run to the other company ( am I an an opportunist? if it defines by the money I left in my account, yes, I am an opportunist who tries to survive) It was one of my most exciting moment in my life, the intervie
