Typhoon Feng Shen

Hello i am back!

Very tired. Slept every night at 3am. In Macau, its because of casino and supper then in HK its drinking with Hui Ping's friend.

This trip is also my first encounter with Typhoon. It was signal no. 3 when we were in HKG, Tues night having dinner with Sam, Hui Ping's singaporean in HK. Then Hui Ping's HK friend, Angela called us and informed us of this Typhoon. She said that the HK weather observatory will issue a notice at 11pm that night. And we better go back to macau in case the ferry service get suspended when the typhoon signal is 8. And we cannot get back in time for our flight back to SIN.

So at abt 9pm, we were madly packing away and took a cab to the ferry terminal. But found out that the ferry tickets before 11pm were all sold out. They will not sell the tickets until the HK observatory issue the notice.

We had no choice but to buy from the "black market". Tickets that cost HK$156 was sold for $250. So we bought 2 tickets on the 10.30pm ferry to Macau. I was quite worried abt the "rockiness" of the ferry. And i almost always get sea sick. Luckily i had some medication with me and surprisingly the journey was quite smooth.

This was the exciting part of my trip. I heard that the signal no. 8 was hoisted at 11pm that night. So everyone will have to stay indoors and no school or work till the signal is lifted.

Other that this incident, nothing much happened- shopping, massage, meeting friends. Anyway i had little energy to shop too cos i was very tired with so little sleep every night.

Other than meeting Fion my HK friend for this trip, i also met up with my Macau penpal, Tammy. She was very nice, drive us around to a few places of interest and gave us a portugese dinner treat.

Hui Ping's friends are also friendly especially Sam which we stayed 1 night at her apartment in Central and also Angela, her ex-colleague which we met in Tsim Sha Tsui.

So alot of time for Casinos and friends but less time for shopping.

Now i am having sore throat due to the late nights :(

Away

I will be away tomorrow till Wednesday. In Macau + HK.

Wish me good luck in the casinos!!

Laptop

I am writing the last post and this post with my new laptop, Fujitsu S7211. I bought it from the PC show 2008. Actually my father went to buy it and i pay for it. My current one lasted me for 5 years so its really time for a new one.

So far quite happy with it. Nice graphics, fast speed.

New hairstyle

I just came back from my hair salon at far east.

And now my hair is short. I have been sporting a bob hairstyle for almost 1 year plus and it's time for a change!

I quite like my new short hair. Spiky and modern. Although i have a round face but the short hair still looks ok on me. *i think so*

Nevertheless its a nice change. I hope my friends and colleagues have praise for the new look.

Big movements in the office

Bad news!

Heard from reliable sources that my big boss is resigning. I am so sad! I always tell people he is a nice boss. Although I only work with him on bigger projects but to me, he is a very approachable person, not afraid to make decisions fast, flexible and always come out with good solutions whenever there are problems. Basically all the required qualities of a good boss.

So now what I am nervous about is whether my direct boss will leave as well. For the past 2 weeks, he has been behaving weirdly. He is not putting in effort in work, quite unfocused at times. Although compared to my big boss, he is not as friendly to us. But again as a male boss, he dares to make decisions, looks at the overall big picture and gives good advice.

Nevertheless, life must still move on. The rest of the colleagues must be united and give strong support to each other.

This question still inevitably pops up- where does our future in the company lies?

Life question

What do people pursue in life?

Knowledge, Money, Love, Spiritual, Enlightenment?

Frankly, i think my life has come to a standstill. I have stopped pursuing alot of things. Now I have a great family/clan & friends, happy job, stable income and enough academic knowledge. Most important to me- whenever the travel bug bites, i will go somewhere for holidays.

Basically I am contented with life and at becoming a "Zai nu" on normal days ie. girls that stay at home and surf net, watch tv etc. Nevertheless, i still go out for movies, karaoke, shopping, food.

I was quite happy with the current state until i realised that there is no meaning in what i am doing now.

What is lacking? Maybe Love.
