Allow me to introduce my friend from the NOC office: Huimin!!!!
She is a staff of NUS overseas college and she is also the one
that interviewed and passed me!!! haha! So you can say that I
am here in Shanghai thanks to her, passing my first interview!

 

Haha! now that she is here in Shanghai! of course I would show her
around!!! haha!!!  A tight but rewarding schedule!!! we covered a lot
of ground today! We started at about 2pm from the arrival hall in
Pudong International Airport to her hotel near the Shanghai Stadium!

 

Its already 3+ and we headed directly to Yu Garden and Cheng huang Temple.
Had the famous "Xiao Long Bao" there too! nice! The Bund was the next target!
and we went through the tourist tunnel at the Bund and took photos of
Pu Xi from Lu jia zui! haha! We saw the xmas tree at the Super brand mall!
nice!!! makes me feel Chirstmasy!!!

 

After that was the walk along east Nanjing road to People’s Square where
we had some soya drink at Yong He. Saw her to the station after that and went home.
Super tired… haha! time to sleep… Zzzz… haha

Today is the FIRST time I witness an inspection by the health bureau!!

Whew! haha! very interesting! I made my way to Mandarin City early

in the morning. Joyce and I decorated the rooms so that the best parts

of the rooms are presented and to the standards required by the bureau.

 

It is really interesting to see how Joyce intends to impress the officials.

Dr. Fukuda and a nurse from Hong Qiao is also present. we all witness the

inspection together. haha! this is sososososooooo interesting! haha! (I also

learnt a bit more on the implementation of the GUAN XI factors!!! hehe!

Thanks to observing Joyce and seeing how she works. Too bad I don’t

speak Shanghainese. but I do know the least you should do is to have

someone who speaks their language.)

 

Wonderful guy! I did a little due diligence on him and found out that he is one

power guy! haha! I think his thoughts on Medical tourism is pretty much in line

with that of Dr. Seah! 

 

After work I WALKED all the the way to Central Huai Hai Road for a treat!!! 

Special Thanks to Joce for the Invite!!! The food is really not bad! Its a steam boat

buffett! but the secret lies in its sauce!! they use this special vinegar that is quite

appetizing and mild enough to mix it with the food generously!

 

Also! there’s Joe’s rice! mixed with Egg! nto bad! have not had something likedat

for a long time! tastes like egg poridge! haha!

 

After that, they bought me to this Club at Heng Shan Lu. Oh my god! There was where

I drank and drank and drank…. because I kept losing at the dice game!!! arrghhh!

The people there are darn good! haha!

 

All in all, I have to thank Joce, Brian and Joe for the treat, showing me around, and the

drinks!!!!! Thanks sooo much!! haha! HAd such a great time!!! haha!

 

 

 

 

 

Today I had a long long day at work after going to the company directly

from Fudan…. I am soosososososoooo happy that I finally met up with

the team from Biz Buzz! yay!!! haha! So now finally we have gotten enough

people to for 2 teams for the 72 hour business case competition on 8 Dec!

 

Haha! This is a codename for our project in the company!!! haha! I am soso

happy to be part of this project! helping Rie has thought me much! or at least

I think it will! haha!

 

Today was the first meeting! Had discussion with Fred, Joyce and Erik. Also

the contractors are involved! this is really intersting! haha! I am begining to learn

teh basics of setting up a clinic… the amount of licensing involved seems quite

intimidating for anyone to start a business… haha!

 

I missed a networking event though.. because I worked overtime to get the minutes

out for this project… haha! but I am glad my fishes are all with me! =)

Today I bought a old and dusty lamp from the house.

It was left unused by the seniors because there is no bulb.

Lucky for me, I bought it to office and it fits my Sunglo Blub!

it warm all the time!!! haha! Sooo happy!!! =)

Today I went to Gleneagles. Nice place! Visited the office,

Also interviewed Shanon. The coffee there is really not bad! =)

Discussed with Shanon a little on the company and interests

and such. Also he have pretty good comments on the book I am

currently reading: The 7 habits of highly effective people.

 

Went back to office after that to finish more interviews! Intend

to go to Luwan and Jin Qiao tomorrow to do more interviews for

Dr. Seah’s presentation. Interviewd Dr. Fred, Anna and more.

 

During the time in office, I see Dr. Seah’s executive assistant,

taking over Denise: Claire. I also had a bit of a chat with Dr. Seah.

He shared with me a little on gaining knowledge, little things that

made a big difference: to lunch with different people everyday!

 

In the evening, I had a meal with Caren! Have to thank her for the

treat she gave me. We discussed a lot of issues in the company

and she shared with me alot of her personal experiences she gained

prior to coming to the company. I felt that I have gained another

new perspective and that I begin to see how the different issues

in the company fit in.

 

I begin to see why certain people respond to certain people differently

and how they can have different personal agenda. Although i know

this it is important to understand the dynamics (aka Politics) in the

company, I will keep the bigger picture in mind. Shall use the

understanding of these issues to my advantage.
