Yes, finally a chance to fill in this empty space. Since the last time I blog here, plenty has happened. Business had not been so good. Even watches are much harder to trade. Cost are going up, mortgage is going up. Started to do more running/walking to try to be much fitter then before. Hopefully don't have any health implications. Taxi... bad... took 3 taxi ride in Shenzhen all because I need to meet with a girl that was visiting Shenzhen for her work with her customer. All 3 rides had bloody car crash or problem with a car somewhere causing me delays. I did get enough to do shopping, have breakfast and dinner. Actually if her meeting was for Friday, could have had her over for the weekend. Too bad, always next time, once I have a bit of spare time and dollars, most likely grab a ticket to visit for a weekend. Money, as tight as ever... Now getting really late. Prob add more later. I used to link this to FB but now so many people are looking at this, so now blocked anyone looking at it on FB, just too much people thinking differently.
3 months no update and my laptop is missing a. Only using on-screen keyboard to type. Quite annoying really. Life is not so broken but since my last blog. A relative decided to go.. cancer took her.. freaken cancer. Everyone suffers... Started to enjoy the referee but running is killing me. Bad fitness level is the key contributor running 2 km never felt so long. Have to kill the cooper test 12 min 2 km and beep test level of 10 to be able to gain an entry to HK 7s. Something to aim for in the coming years. Got my wish to come back to NZ for holiday. Really looking forward to it. Bluff oysters, mussels and some nice beer here I come! My flight are as follows... I do wish to meet and catchup with as many people as I can... Coz I will not be back for another 3. http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"> name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 9"> name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 9">

Yep. Done my ref course. Had a hit out at Sandy Bay for mini rugby. A run today which almost killed me. 1st real run for a long time. Let say 9 years. Slowly the body will get use to training I guess. Also a sad week as a close family friend decided its time to go to the next place. May he rest in peace. Business is now really slow, its just before X'mas. Time to chase those spring orders. Otherwise, we will have problems.
Well, rugby ref lectures are almost done. 1 more class and ready to kill.
Ok fitness is not great. But I will clime my way back to full fitness. Keep faith in what I do and aim for the best. I arn't going to be 2nd or 3rd. I do what I do and give it my best when possible.
Busy day today, worked in office, ran to China and back and got home to change. Next time, might have some gears at office. Lets see, have to move office soon so tidy up is on the table.
As the month progress, its been quite a long 3 weeks. Canton Fair ruled the best of 21 days with people flying in and out of Guangzhou to buy what they need for the coming year. This year the people who runs it made it into 3 parts instead of 2. Which made most of us crazy as we need to go to 1,2 and 3. The bloody hotel is so expensive also. I hope this get reverts back to 2. Its a pain for everyone. Business had been pretty bad this year, there are less buyers flying in due to high cost of traveling and hotels. General gutt feeling for next year. Crap. After the fair, had 3 girls who came to Hong Kong to shop and I was their guide, quite happy to take them around to shop so had less time to spend in office. They are nice people and brought stuff for their family. Hope to see them around in HK next time or when I go visit. Anyhow its late so I leave it as that. Long road ahead before X'mas and even longer road before its CNY. Keep hopes up and things could get better. Just like I won RMB500 after a lunch with a driver. That was bloody lucky!
