Long time no see

haha. no idea how long haven't update content here.
just came back from a dinner with some formal guys including the Dean of SBS at his office. It's a huge office, bigger than my CEO's.
Bloody busy life seems never stop from last term.
sometimes i told myself "you should note down something by words rather than your suck brain."
I'll try to write things down as much as possible.
Actually, it seems much staff happened during last several month.
New year counting at London
Chinese New Year Party
High table dinner
Football team blacktie dinner.....

Cheers

Fucking busy!!!

Just came back from Crewdate of Keble Rowing Club. a little drunk of wine. haha.
Ages past I have not updated this blog. so lazy. another reason is I was fucking busy after the term started.
Sit on the coutch in keble for couple of mins just now, recalled this year. What a year. still remember went to MBA fair in Beijing last November. Now I am here.
Tried my best to fell myself in my college, a cold November in Oxford.
Rowing/football/job/course, so many stuff need to note down.
Regatta is kindof an good experience of my life in Oxford, after all, rowing is the symble sports of Oxford.
Got a brilliant goal on freekick for JCR, the first goal of my game in England. the speed of the game is fucking fast here. I tried to get myself used to the pace, and enjoy the game as well.
I'm not sure where I will be in the next November. Still at China Life? or somwhere else?
the course is quite incentive. I feel accouting and finance are very useful for my future career.

Keep ballance between study and life!!!

Keble Welcome Dinner!!!

Just came back from the Welcome Dinner of my college-Keble. Enjoyed it very much. Today is my first time to be dressed up after arrived in Oxford. Sitting in the beautiful and historical dining hall with more than 100 freshers, thinking about the scene in Harry Porter, I was feeling really great!!! I am very happy that there’s one year living and studying experience in my life in Oxford-a city and university with more than 800 years history. I even started to complain one year is too short!!! Anyway, I enjoyed my life here very much so far.

In terms of my college, I would say I made a good choice. Although I don’t know what kind of events other college have, I am very satisfied with my college. The events, the sports, the campus, the dining hall. I hope I have more time to enjoy my college life for the rest of the academic year.

Deadly busy!!!

almost two weeks haven't wrotten anything on my blog. the only reason is I was tooooo busy.
full of events from the morning to the night everyday. college network, MBA network, peer support grogram, football, job hunting, CV revising.............

Now I realise the significance of time management.

However, the most important thing is that I felt happy with all the stuff above, although a little tired. New friends, new feeling, new knowlege, new hope.....................so many new things.

no time to write down more now. have to deal with a business game on line called "fantacy CEO", haha.

Language course ended!!!

4 teachers, 8 weeks, 7 trips, dozens of pub hanging outs, nearlly 50 friends…. I would say it’s really a fantastic experience, even though costing me more than 30 thousands RMB. Learning English is just one outcome, making friends and getting used to the society and culture are two comparably more important results. 2 months living and studying experience can definitely help me adapt to the hectic life quicker and better when term starts. After all, there’s just 12 months to go. It’s kind of waist of time spending 2 months getting used to the life here after the course begins.

First football match!!!
Last Saturday, I had my first football game after I arrived at oxford. The deepest feeling is that the speed here in the match is much faster than in China. I think it will take me some time to get accustomed to it. I played central back for nearly 75 mins. I was very careful to avoid any stupid mistake. It’s a good game. We won 6:0. A guy in the other team seemed broke his collarbone. Best luck to him!!!

Mgt Consulting!!!
Met some Chinese friends in the weekend. Went to Ashton’s house drinking with some incoming MBAs in the evening of Sunday. Got some new idea about how to fit in mgt consulting co. there’s a office of Mckinsey called “Asian House” located in Frankford aiming to train some consultants with approximately 18 months working experience in European countries before coming back to their mother countries. It’s a very good opportunity for me. I’d like to give it a try!!! I think I need more information of mgt consulting co. and how they recruite ppl.

New bike!!!
Bought a new bike from a current MBA on Monday. But it seems like a women bike. So maybe I’m going to buy another one and sell this one to other MBAs or MFEs.

Horse riding in Wales - Great plan but concled!!!
Originally planned to make use of this week going to Wales to spend a horse riding holiday. But friends think it’s too expensive, so we did not go. 280 pounds for 2 days. It sounds pricy, but I would say it’s worthy. Since it’s not a inside riding, but a horse trip. It means we will ride horse to another village in the first day, on the way there, we can enjoy the resorts and nature, after arrival, spend a night in a old inn with great history. The next day, ride back from another route. It could be a great feeling!!! Moreover, a guide will accompany us, and there will be no other ppl in our group. That’s fabulous, isn’t it? Maybe I have to wait till next year since the riding season will finish after October. It’s a big shame I would say!!!

Hectic life comes closer and closer!!!
I can smell the hectic atmosphere now. from next week, lots of events will come continuously, even overlapped, I have to learn how to manage my limited time to make everything balanced. Peer support program/ move flat/ orientation program/ seminar/ dinner…… Stuff comes!!! Excited!!!

Today is not my day!!!

The bike I borrowed from my friend was stolen today. The main reason is that I was too careless that I just switched one number of four numbers lock. So it’s very easy for the stealer to guess the key number of the lock. Ironically, the stealer left the lock on where it was and just took the bike away. It seems he’s laughing at my carelessness. I can not believe here is people stealing bike in Oxford. Now, I have to buy a new bike for my friend which will cost me much money. Bad luck!!!!!!!!!

Because the bike got lost, I did not go to the football training today. I don’t like changing plan which always make me upset. So I felt really bad after I came back from the trip.

However, I met a friend from Spain this evening which helped me relieve much from bad mood. We had dinner together in a see food restaurant: Loch Hyne. The mussle and fish are really yummy.

Last trip in Language Course

Today is the last trip in language course. We went to three sightseeings: wedworth roman villa; bourton on the water and upton house and gardens.

Wedworth Roman Villa was built on 4 AD by roman people. Mosaic which is still very popular in designs now was found there. Interestingly, there are several bath rooms which have advanced heat and water system in the villa. It is said people who lived there at that time spent much time in the bath rooms, not only for bath, but also for chatting and resting.

After leaving wedworth roman villa, we went to Bourton on the water which is a lovely village. There’s a stream(little river) and some bridges in the village that makes the small town more vivid. We come across a free market there selling second hand books and videos. I bought a CD and two children books for my boy. Haha. Teach him studying english from the beginning.

Our last stop is Upton House and Gardens which originally belongs to a big family. On the 19th Century, it was bought by the family who set up shell company. Now I know why Shell has the name: the company was originally doing shell trading business, then switched to oil industry, but the name remained.

It’s a lovely trip. Hope I can still have a trip every week when term starts.
