Online Class Notes (Tibo)

I just have same week every week  / I have a routine every week

Last Saturday I went out with my female friend and we went to a famous restaurant to enjoy a late lunch and we took some pictures.

I haven’t posted moments frequently but if I post it should be beautiful / I have very high standards for my posts.

The board games take a lot of time / are time consuming so I think for my current status this habit won’t help me a lot. / and I realize in my current situation maybe I should invest my time elsewhere.

It is a kind of interest, hobby I enjoy it and I can be happy but for the incoming future or to learn more useful skills it won’t help me a lot.  / It is a hobby that does bring me some happiness but it doesn’t help me get closer to my goals.

I may take some other lessons like night schools, I may try to study again with programs adapted to people who work full time.
I could even attend some conferences for my industry, this is for my work but also for another goal like finding a boyfriend it can be helpful. / I hope it can help me in my career and also to meet new people.
I am thinking about change the habit -> I’m thinking about changing my habits.

The reason I started to play boardgames was because I wanted to improve my communication skills and understand the mechanisms of the game and how to win the game so you you had to keep thinking. / it would be mentally stimulating.
I also want to meet somebody, someone who has similar interests. / I also would like to meet potential partners through similar interests.
But the result is I can’t find a boyfriend from this game. / I didn’t meet anyone I was really attracted to

During this situation we battle each other  -> we are competing, it is not romantic

I think the most standard Shanghai boys have very close relationship with their family and they are humble and really take care of their family. -> most Shanghainese boys are very close to their family / Typical Shanghainese boys are close to their family
They are not the kind of people who have high carrier goals   / they are not very ambitious.

you are more independent, with yourself -> it is easier for you to be on your own / you enjoy having me time more and more.

I need to change my mental state / my mindset.

Her birthday’s wish was for me to find a BF next year.

I am struggling with it.
Marriage for current society is still a kind of way to protect female -> in our society marriage is still a way for women to be safe.
Unless you are very rich being married provides security.

maybe some don’t have the ability to buy a house / don’t have the means to buy a house.

they don’t have their goal of their life. / they are not ambitious
They don’t have a goal they want to achieve.

It is ideal if I am a boy, If I am a boy I won’t think too much about marriage and just live and work in different cities to have friends with different backgrounds. -> If I were a boy I wouldn’t think that much about marriage

Maybe the ongoing 2/3 years will be key milestones for my life.
In China for girls the best time to get married is before 30.
On this marriage market I still have some choice but if I am older than 30 maybe it is hard to find a good husband.
Everybody thinks this way.

After 30 if I am not married I may go to Singapore or HK to study

Right now Singapore is neutral.
