English Translation

Most of my clients requests the English translation of their financial statement. The major task these days is to review all those English translations. We don't have professional translators to help us, so we just put the following on the translated financials:

"The auditors' report and the accompanying financial statements are English translations of the Chiense auditors' report and statutory financial statements prepared under accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the People's Republic of China. These financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in other countries and jurisdictions. In case the English version does not conform to the Chinese version, the Chinese version prevails."

I was also involved in some trainings. I am glad to learn that I am quite good at teaching.

The Super Girl and Super Boy I like

Chinese National Entertainment Show: the Super Girl for 2005 & 2006, and Super Boy for now.

People sent short message from cell phone to vote for the girl/boy they like.


She is as pure as crystal, and represents my dream when I was young:
Li YUCHUN - the champion of 2005, already a super star

He looks so normal when he just stands there, but so brilliant and sexy when he sings and plays guitar:
CHEN CHUSHENG - I hope he could be the champion this year - we will see ... next weekend

Weather of Plum Rain ~ Japan

The weather is humid and hot. It seems that the plum rain extends to the summer. The season of the plum rains or, misleadingly, intermittent drizzle, is a special meteorological phenomenon of the middle and lowland areas of the Yangtze River. Usually, the plum rain season starts in the middle of June and ends in early July, lasting for about 20 days. The climate during this season is characterized by continuous rain and hot temperatures.

Japanese and Chinese characters for the plum rains are identical. Oh, Japan, I went to Japan last weekend. I think I was crazy and made the decision in an hour.

It was my first trip to Japan, with my friend's phone # and the name of the bus stop close to her home. I was questioned for a while at the immigration as I don't know my friend's address and her name - She got married with a Japanese and changed her name.

I stayed one night at my friend's place, a small town about 1.5hr from Tokyo, with her family including her 70yrs fashionable mother-in-law; and another night at a hot spring inn at famous Hakone. I regret that I had no time for shopping except at the airport DFS since the flight was 1hr late. I don't even know what Tokyo looks like as I fell asleep when the bus passed the city.

My hubby was pretty upset when he learnt my trip as he always wants to go to Japan. This time not only couldn't he go but also he has to pay the bill - I don't have a credit card in China ;)
