so 2009 is gone, isn't it fast? Last Xmas, Lai was desperate searching for accommodation for his new job, he travelled to London, used only one day for house hunting before he hurried back to China to visit his parents. It looks like yesterday, times really flies...
Looking back, not much achievement this year. Workwise, some progress, but a lot need to improve, gonna hunt for a new jobs after new year. Gymwise, tiny progress, bench and squat still same, very disappointing, deadlift up 20kg. gonna push harder next year.
Still no boyfriend, do not know whether he exists in this world or not. However, Lai did meet some nice people, both online and offline, hopefully next year Lai will have more gay friends.
Aussie invited Lai for his Xmas party, however, Lai is very unorganised person, he mixed up the date in his schedule, so he missed it! You can imagine how disappointed Aussie was. Lai and Aussie become quite good friends now, but it kinda feel weird, you would not shag your good friend, will you?
A married couple invited Lai to visit them on New year. And another old friend of Lai asked him to do some charity work, Lai agreed. Even though Lai can not understand why people become homeless in this country. As he always tell his British friends, in China, even you do not have hands, no legs, you still have to work! people do not complain about it, you need to support yourself. Lai do not know why these young healthy men can not take care of themselves, maybe they just need to be slapped and sent to some poorest area in the earth for a while, then they will not take things for granted.
Lai signed up for one week night shift in the center, as his friends told him they are really short of volunteers in the night. Lai has to travel one and half hour to there, and start work from 10pm to 9am every night. To his surprise, although some guests there do seems abusive or having mental problem, many of them are very polite and can hold some decent conversation...
Lai has not never drunk so much coffee in his life, normally he seldom drink coffee, but in order keep himself awake, in the first night he drunk at least 8 cups of strong black coffee, and he only managed less than 2 hours sleep once he back home, then go back to the center to start another shift...
By day 3, Lai is exhausted, he really admire some other members who has worked there for years, he even met an old lady who drove from Yorkshire to London during Xmas to help these homeless people. Lai think, our lacking of sleep may exchange one week nice warm sleep for these poor people, esp in this time of year, maybe it does worth.
It is a fun job, you can meet all kinds people, both guest and volunteers... But Lai was thinking, "can i just have one night break? i already have running nose and headache now..." However, he still insists..
so how was your Xmas? Hope you had a nice and happy one!
