A long time away

I am not sure how long I've been away from my blog, too busy and too many early things to do. today, my second time to visit Royal Hotel Chao Hsi in one week. The best Hot spring resort hotel in Taiwan so far. and this is the day Side project take up its second challenge for bidding one Travelling project. and we won it finally.

I got the " We got it " message by 8:10 pm, 30 minutes longer than my expecation, this is my gut feeling that there must be trouble, otherwise, there won't be such a long dragging Q and A. this is a very important milestone for me, and for Side project, if we can't get this project, I may need to find a job other than doing my own things, I mean, to keep the status quo for 3 months, or to keep rolling for 12 months are totally differenctr scenario.

Helping EZfly doing the final budget for the 3 days, S. change his temper a little bit, but not so big, he burst out his anger on Wed, on the day he walked in the office 2 and half house earlier than the scheduled meeting, and he is anger and yelling to shut down the operaiton again, this time, according to VP, he is serious. I follow with budget meetings until 7 pm.

Kao and Lu came to my office on Wed. they are my old friend when still in the army, the difference is, they are professional soilder but I am not, as Kao retire from army 2 and half year ago and conduct his consultanting business in Thailand and China, with his strong ambitions, I cam tell success is only one step ahead. so, I praise his intellenge and the skill of conducting busines and developing client, the talent he equipped is just what I lack of. so I propose to him that we may work as a team, he develop client in China, I can then finishing the consulting job by providing my special task force, with my solid multinational backgroud, this can be very convicing, when telling this simply suggestion to my wife, she laughed and said this is my wishfull thinking, however, I need a story in China, and this is only creating a widow to Kao, we set up a day to go furhter, that's right after Chinese New Year, I do hope it will pay off.

By the help of my EMBA Classmate, I was invited to conduct a keynote speech tomorrow, this should be my last public speech on my tenure with current company, I wish I can do it right and win the impression I wish to have.

Tomorrow, I am bringing S. for Michael Bolton's concert, we've been seeing each other almost every other day.
