Me and my CCF in Beijing Day 2

I dreamt that my hp alarm was ringing and I continued to sleep through it. When I woke up, I panicked because the sun was blazing. and when I checked my hp, it was only 6+ am. Thinking this couldn't be and maybe the time on my hp was messed up, I called the reception. And confirmed it was indeed still very early in the morning, and the sky was so bright. A sure sign that a hot day was to come.

Very, very hot. The cab I got into had no air-con, and I was sweating profusely within ten minutes through the rush hour jam. It was SO DAMN HOT. It was a relief to get out - standing under the scorching sun was less suffocating, at the very least.

And I breathed a sigh of relief as I walked into China Life Tower.

And then, after much hassle of walking into offices (even the unit number on the letter was either wrong, or outdated), I discovered that FutureBrand Beijing was in SOHO. And I had gone to some branch office that overseas all the marketing firms such as Weber Shanwick and FB. Fabulous. Into the cab I go again, no air-con again. This time, I wound down the window on my own accord to allow the air in, and thought about all the dust collecting on my face.

All that matters is that I am here, and I'm glad the office is in SOHO. Happening district, right above a shopping centre, pretty near the Silk Street Market, from what I figured on the cab ride. More importantly, there is a piano studio right at the bottom of my office (and my colleague informed me that it is really cheap - a Chinese citizen said it's cheap, it has to be really cheap!), so guess where I'll be spending my after office hours. Hopefully the pianos are good, but I'm just thankful I found a studio so easily, literally at my doorstep.

So here I am, slacking away the first morning of my Beijing internship.

And the sun is so hot I can feel is through the window.
