British upper class, family home in the countryside, reserved parents, highly successful siblings with a sophisticated taste and a love story....

I feel... apirations, nostalgia..almost as if I had been there before. This might have been infused by studying english literature. anyhow

can you guess what book I am reading?

How further up can foreigners in UK progress in their career?

More precisely how further up can a female foreigner in UK progress in her career?

In my company the answer is about to reveal itself in two weeks' time.

My boss put my name forward for running the department as his successor however my command of english became the biggest reservation for the company to offer me the position . I can understand if I was new to the company and was yet to prove my ability of working but it has been 6years since I started to work there. I run the system more or less myself. It became clear to me that if this is going to be problem at this point, it will be problem in the future therefore there is no point of pursuing something I am never going to achieve in this company.

Women have to work harder and be better to get recognised same as men in korean society and it is not a convincing thing in this society you can be good at your job even though you are a foregin immigrant who doesn't speak english like the English.

The reality is that there are not many jobs out there which pay me more than I earn now if I go for the same sort job. So I stay here for now,, well let's say for a year until I become qualified IT technician who can move around the area and the command of english shouldn't be the barrier then I am definitely taking leave of the company. I can not help but to feel that I am betrayed by the company -.-

well,, if I keep trying to win the lottery, I might get there who knows I can buy this company out with my winning money? Who knows matt might earn so much money that I don't have to work for life? let's hope that :)

Time is just a notion that human beings created and trapped themselves in

Somebody talked of stuff getting less and less to blog.





I quite agree with him.



5mths ago, 56 free hrs were all I had to myself apart from sleeping and working. sometimes I didn't have time to have a shower before I shot off to next work. Friends got lost in touch, my place didn't feel like it was lived in any more. I felt like I have lost out on the deal and I was very tired.

Now me having quit the second job and matt living with me, our place smells full of love and feels cosy.

I lost money but gained my life back. It made me feel refreshed and energized. Every night matt and I indulged ourselves with watching his collection of movies sometimes over a glass of wine and bourbon.

Not quite knowing what to do with my newly given free time, I spent lots of time watching movies and reading books. Catching up with the world. matt might not agree on this considering he does those two things a lot more than I do but we all know one dare not compare herself to the movie geek that I have in the house : )

September... with my career taking a dramatic turn I want to sit down and work it out as to what I want to spend my free time on. there are a few options such as piano learning that I have been putting off, french language courses, books and studying, walking etc etc. hopefully my blog is going to be filled with the results from those above.

One new thing though, I started to spend time watching my little niece's pics on line. she is so special to me as she is my sister's first daughter as well as the first offspring of our siblings. I love her smell too.
