Hello there..what's up?

I got this sweet message sent from Toronto today.

hmmm, it is hard to say. I am either happy or unhappy.

The weather gets clear today after more than half month's raining. I was scheduled a training in Sanya, a famous beach city in the southern part of China next week but have to cancel due to the US GAAP training in Shanghai at the same time. Surprisingly, I don't feel very disappointed as the works won't leave me as I leave Shanghai.

During the weekend, I registered to a gym. I got a discount paid the annual fee for a 16 months membership which I count it will be valid until I leave Shanghai. Besides the exercise equipments, they offer dancing classes such as Jazz, Latino, Hip Hop and Belly Dance etc. as well as Yoga & Spinning. I don't like very hard exercises and i think Yoga is boring. I plan to go to the dance classes at least once a week to get some exercise.

I also paid for a spa package. It is a very fancy spa club. I feel happy after spending a lot of money. Women's bad origin, guys will say.

Besides, it is just work, work, work, a lot of work. My buddy works so hard as he is expected to be a partner next year. He was not very happy when he saw me leaving at 7pm. In average, I work two days after 9pm in a week. No body mentions work life balance here. Once I commented if a person works so late in the evening, he won't discharge his work effeciently on the next day. A lot of people objected and one said he works every day until 12am and goes to the client office at 8am. I could just keep silence. However, I try to keep myself balance in order not to escape in the 18 months. After I got calls about work in a couple of weekends, I turn off my cell phone after 10pm on Friday until 8am on Monday. Although I also do some work at home during the weekends, I don't like to be called all the time.

There are a lot of things need to learn but there is no time. I am still struggling on getting all the engagement letters signed before December 15th.
