I said it before. TRANSFORMATION ! From computer and technology enthusiast into cultural and language guy. I have changed a lot. And also, for the first time, I intentionally clicked on a Google ad.
Which brought me to LotusEducation, organizer of HomeStay program in Beijing, with programs for learning Mandarin with Beijing Language and Cultural University. I am particularly looking at 8 weeks program which would cost $4280 or about RM14,000.
I asked my senior at work,
“Kak, you know if it’s possible for me to take 2 months leave?”
“I never done that, but you might have to take unpaid leave”
“Unpaid leave is OK. My salary is still very low, it’s better if I take unpaid leave now than later”.
“But you must also remember that it might affect your bonus and promotion”.
Well firstly I need to achieve memorization of 1500 Han Zi or Chinese characters, to measure my seriousness in this matter. Only if I succeed can I continue with this homestay, or else I might just be sacrificing money and career and gain nothing.
Hmm.. how can I get married if I never start saving?
