beginning of summer

I am, as of right now, at VisibleRecord, a documentary film promoter and distributor founded by Tammy Cheung, a respected Hong Kong documentary filmmaker.

Today is my second day hereand I came at 10am as told and only Pat was here to open the door for me. I wonder if I should not come as on time so that I won't have to wait at the door. Gigi, the secretary came a little after I did. I found out it's not that bad to tke the MTR to Wanchai. It actually took only 35 min or so. Way better than my commute to SKW.

So right now I am watching a Chinese documentary. I think I watched 8 so far, including this one. MOst of them are pretty good. Actually, all of them has a good story, it's just the audio and the picture might look amateurish at times, but the technical faults can be easily forgiven because of the strong narrative of these documentaries. Hopefully my Chinese, especially , Mandarin will improve. I am, again, a bit of a handicap because I can't type Chinese and speak fluent Mandarin.That's the way , if you want to work in China. You need to be able to type and read Chinese and speak Mandarin.

I am seeng if I can get a standard hours here and work for 4 days. Nothing is set and I want to set some boundary, some schedule so I can schedule my time better. And also give myself some free time to do my stuff and maybe tutor some kids.

Tammy seems to be a a pretty gentle person and she talks to her staff as if talking to school children. But I know shes tough as well. You have to be tough to be a director. The people are alright. But then, I am a volunteer.
