The Winter in Beijing 11/19/2008
Its been over 10days since the first day I stepped here in the gallery. The life in Beijing started with a very busy but bored feeling. Beijing now is entering the winter. Winter in Beijing means "Truly Freeeeezing", everything is DEAD! And my body too. I am been surrounding in this silent but awkward atmosphere and been having a headache for over a week. Besides, the gallery is even "peaceful". I was upset about that till I talked with my boss Robert this morning. He was telling me its quiet like this during the winter time. "People prefer to stay at home, sleep in the bed. They don't feel like to shop something especially these ART STUFF, which you have to have the emotion to buy it." He said. True, true, very true. So I am sitting here checking emails and waiting my dear clients who have this "eager " passion to buy some art pieces come to me. :) Sitting and Waiting...*o* Today was suppose to be a nice day. And its a nice day in the end but comes with some weird things. I was happy about moving to the new single room, but when I was waiting for the girl take me to the room, my boss Robert rang me. He told me I suppose to work today. "What?? I thought I will have a day off today and officially start working on Thursday?!" "Katurah put you on the schedule tho..." Robert said. "But I am moving today, its impossible to be there Right Now...I AM SORRY!" I was thinking about pls give me one day break for me to clean the room and settle things down. But Robert didn't get my mind..."Then once you done, pls go to the gallery." "Okay, I will try my best to be hurry...." with the upset voice, I hang off. "Shit! why he ruined my lovely Wednesday??? I need to do a lot of things today.=(" Okay, so after I been lazy and try to be in the gallery as late as I can, and I arrived around 5pm. I was feeling bad with the disgusting gray sky and cold to death weather and the crowd as hell bus...Just right after I opened the gallery for 30 mins, this guy came in. He is about 180cm tall and with an huge black coat. He looks about 55yrs old and seems pretty nice. He was discussing with the painting with me and suddenly he saw a print painting on the corner. Which is 5 crying boy who wear the old China military uniform. " How much is this?" He asked. "Well its 7200RMB." I checked on the list. "Well....thats not bad, I dun have boy and you know...." Blah blahblah...he is murmuring. Then, he asked how much discount that I can get, Robert said it will be 7000RMB. "7000RMB...its not even the discount.." He tried to bargain. "I am sorry, I really can't...=(" And he just got it!! I can't even believe my eyes. He just said okay!! And he got it. So cool~This is the first print painting I ever sold. Before he left, he shacked my hand and said " Have a good life!" Fantastic!! I feel very happy Right Now. =) Start working in Beijing 11/11/2008
