Do you know which building is the tallest on earth right now? If you tell me it is Taipei 101, you are wrong. The tallest building in the world is Burj Dubai in Dubai city of the United Arab Emirate in Middle East. Although it isn’t completed yet, it already surpassed the record set by Taipei 101. I am sure that its height will exceed 800 meters.
What does Burj mean? Burj means tower in Arabic languange.How many meters is height of Burj Dubai? It is still being kept secret by designers. Burj Dubai has 150 floors and will contain many offices and shops and restaurants. It will have lots of apartments for people to live in from floors 45 through floors 108. An outdoor zero-entry swimming pool will be located on the 78th floor. Specially, there will have an observation deck on the 124th floor for visitors to enjoy the view. It will also have the fastest elevator in the world, rising and descending at 700m/minute. There are 56 elevators in the building. Each elevator can carry 42 people on a time.
Burj Dubai will be a new landmark in Dubai city. I want to go to visit it someday.

It’s very hard to keep diary in english, but I think I should be used to from today.
Don’t laugh at me if you find any grammar mistake or some wrong phrases. Just see me as a beginner.
As everyone knows, I now waiting for the information from the new company. Anyway, the old job must be taken over to the other guys. And lots of people is now auditting my work.The phone keep ringing and the mail boxes is always full. The whole world is now arrouding me.Too many boring things.
But the most terrible thing it that I can not get some tough guy’s support. Some old mistakes can not avoided due to my huge workload.So,there is only one word I want to say loudly: I’m not a machine or perfect person, who can take so much work just like I did with the low wage?
Yesterday I got one call from Beijing, some people confused with some old items did by me.She said she can not match the account with the original vouchers, which actualy scared me . But after checking today, I found there is no problem. She obviously missed something, and I got no apologize. But who cares ?
Meanwhile, I explained at least hundurds of mails and questions about some detail things.I don’t understand why all people consulted with me. Do I looks like a reception or consultant?Who will pay the additional service fee to me? Why somebody is so hard to communicate with, they always aim at some unaccepteble special cases, force me to follow their way that out of the policy. Of cause I have never given in except some very very special persons you know. Even our law can not make all guys to obey all along.
Today I was blamed for some Bank business again. Actually the biggest problem was caused by my Beijing colleagues who always delayed the schedule and forgot or being unwilling to help me to collect the relative documents, which barriered to my process. On the other hand, CMB bank always rejected my applications for some ridiculous reasons despite the same forms had already been approved by Beijing CMB bank. I do understand they are strict as a Bank, but it’s still impossible to get some unavailable documents.
All these are the hardest situations I have never met.Sometimes I do really feel very sad and upset.
But I know this is the business that everyone have to face to. Awful member or terrible thing are everywhere.

The screen was full of terrible pages and strange QQ requests, and the AntiVirus Software was dead.

Many people have depleted their life in seeking for what love was. After watching the movie Painted Skin, apparently, Chinese people in Qing Dynasty had found out the answer of this centuries’ great puzzle. Based upon the classic Chinese literature Liaozhai, the Painted Skin was a story dwelt on fox spirits. However, I’d like to say it was a romantic story rather than a scary one.
The fox spirit, appeared to be a beautiful girl who lived in Wang Sheng’s house was tricky and had an appetite for human hearts to maintain her beauty and youth. She regarded life as grass except for Wang. She loved him so much that she was eager to kick Wang’s wife out, and be the Mrs. Wang. But soon, her real face was seen by Mrs. Wang. In order to protect her husband, Mrs. Wang close with the fox spirit’s request, to drink the poison which would make her to be a monster, then acknowledged that she herself was the fox spirit who had killed hundreds of people, and lastly, let herself to be killed and let her husband marry the fox spirit. Although Mrs. Wang did as what she had promised, Wang Sheng preferred to die with his wife who had become a monster. This moved the fox spirit deeply. She finally knew what love was and used up all her power to save people who had been dead because of her, including Wang Sheng and his wife. Read the rest of this entry »

It is called the fresher’s flu. I got it not because I’m a fresher, but because it is flu. It is the freshers who have been messing around too much and got stricken by the mighty hands of flu, yet we all have to suffer. Talk about sharing!
The second week marks the busiest time since my arrival. The school held a fresher’s fair, where companies came and gave out freebies to attract new customers and different society and clubs of the student union came out to introduce themselves and try to attract new members. It wouldn’t be such a fuss and exhaustion had I not attended a club that didn’t even exist. Read the rest of this entry »
