More updates from Class B and C!

11 Nov 2007,
Hi,P-J
I am Jason of Class C.
I have been in Singapore for one month. I miss you very much. Now I am fit for life in Singapore.
However, I cannot use the computer everyday. And there's no MSN on the computer.
So we have not been able to keep in touch with each other for such a long time.
Now I am a Site Engineer for our company. I am very proud of this.
Yours Sincerely
Jason

Hi,P-J,This is Ronda from Singapore^_^
I have been in this nice country for nearly one month, and I miss all the friends in Class B+C very much. During this short period, I have worked on 3 different sites!!!!! This makes me a little unhappy.Every time I just get used to being with my new co-workers, the company sends me to a new place. In spite of this, everything is ok. The food, the climate, the people and so on.

Now I am in Dubai.
Now, Beijing must be a little cold, but here, when the sun has risen, it will be still very hot.
I work on the site, and it's very hard. I think I’m cheated here. Maybe at the beginning of my professional career it's not bad to do work like this. But sometimes I can't endure. I tried my best to communicate with my manager recently to change to another position, so maybe there will be a good chance of that happening. You can give me some suggestions. That would be appreciated.

Yours sincerely,
Andy 2/11/07

Hi,P-J. This is David.
I have been in Singapore for more than twenty days. Everything is OK. I have read others’ letters in the blog, and they are all fine. The situation here is similar.
I just started to work in a new area later this week. Before that, maybe most of the things I did were the same - just reading a lot of shopdrawings and when I got tired , I would go out and have a look around the site, That was what I did in past three weeks.
Now, architectural work has started, I'm in charge of architecture, so my life is full and I’m starting to be busy. Our site manager told me there will be more than 100 sub-contractors coming. It's terrible, but I have some things to do and I could learn a lot.
I don't have a computer , and there isn’t one in my office. There is just a lot of shopdrawings. I can use my roommate's. He is working now. They have no weekend and I can just be free on Sundays. Now I should say, THANK GOD ITS SUNDAY!

Dear P-J:
I just saw your blog. It almost makes me cry. It reminds me the great happiness we experienced when we were together in Beijing.
And also your photos in Xi'an, my hometown, the place I am dreaming of.

Some days later, I will try to send you my photos of Dubai – it has very beautiful beaches, and very exciting sand surfing! I just want to say that I miss you very much and cherish our English training class for ever!

Best Wishes!
Anna Lei :)

Dear P-J,
I am so glad to receive your invitation to the new blog, and I deeply appreciate your kindness for opening the new blog for us.
I have been here (Singapore) for more than 20 days. I work in the Tender Dept. Nicholas (as known as the lazy boy---by James) works in the same department with me. The work time is a little long, 9:00am to 7:00pm (1 hour for lunch). The job is new to me, but I try my best to do it well. These days, my boss has given me a lot of Tender Drawings. I read the drawings and try to count everything and give a cost listing of the buildings. Maybe for one or two years, I have to do this all the time. I never thought about it before. But I know to try everything in life is not a bad thing, right?
I have adapted myself to the weather and food now, so don't worry about me. Most of the things are as same as in the south of China. It is not cold here; actually I wear a shirt to my office. (I did not mean just one shirt, ok? HOHO) But I know it is really cold in north China now, so take care of yourself, do not catch a cold.
The Singapore people speaks strange English, it is hard to understand. But most of the time I can speak Chinese with the people here and actually their Chinese is strange too. It is so funny. Maybe for 2-years I will speak a strange English too, but do not worry - it is not your fault. You did a really good job teaching us English, and I can remember you once when I say the word ---usually.
Best wishes!
Robert
