My Calendar

Haahaa!!! Finally figured out how to add a calendar to my blog, I'm going to use this to track folks that'll be visiting me, so if you're interested in coming, let me know and I'll pencil you in. =) This will also serve as a notification to friends on my whereabouts. Hopefully I'll have visitors or be traveling somewhere... if not, then it'll look pretty pathetic... =/

PHEW...

Here I was thinking that I've already secured my serviced studios with Mr. Tse at Empire Studios... As I was about to wire my $3,000 HKD deposit over, we had additional email confirmations where we re-confirmed my arrival date, which is actually 7 days after the initial date we had discussed a few weeks ago, and he replied back with "please give me a few days to confirm our availability"...
GASP!!! I thought we were set? oh boy... I then patiently waited 2 full days before hearing back from him, and he confirmed that they will have a Deluxe Plus unit available to me. I still find it funny that Deluxe Plus is a 230 sq ft room.

Apparently someone else had query about moving in on June 14th as well, since I've pushed my date back by a week, I understand his desire to not have an empty unit. Luckily for me he was able to confirm the move out date for another tenant, which turns out to be on the day that I will be arriving. What are the odds?

Now to ensure I really have secured my serviced studio, I went to my bank and wired over the $3,000!!! phew...

When should I leave the States?

Ahhhh, the ultimate question...
I've gotten final word today from my supervisor that they're going to transfer my payroll company over to Hong Kong on June 1st, and that I can make my move date anytime after that, but it'll need to be in June, either early or late?

Is there an advantage to staying here longer? Hmm, are there things that I should do which I'll miss when I'm in HK? Gahhh!!!

I'll have to think about this within the next week, cause I'll need to put down a deposit for the serviced studio so that I can make sure I get their largest room, which is 230 sq. ft... haahaa

Hong Kong here I come!!!

Woot woot, it's final! I'm going to Hong Kong for work for about 2 years!!! I received my offer letter last week, they're willing to pay me about the same amount that I make here in the States, so it is enough for me to go and have an experience of a lifetime =)

It's unfortunate that they're only going to pay for my one-way airfare, yup you heard it right "ONE WAY"... LOL and the cost to ship my belongings over from California to Hong Kong. It's unfortunate they won't pay for temporary housing, but heck, since I was the one who requested the move, I should be happy that they're paying for anything at all?

fyi... I actually started this blog on April 15th, and I'm slowly filling in things that have happened prior to that date, which won't necessarily be in any order, nor will they be the actual dates that they took place on... =)
