Numb, number, almost fully numb

The whole office well, ALMOST the whole office has gone out for lunch with their ex-President of the region. Obviously leaving me, the OUTSIDER behind alone in the office. Just as well, coz I don't think I can sit through another meal surrounded by cantobabble by people who know I dun understand very m uch. I feel like asking these people "How would you like it if you were in France and don't know French and sit at a table of natives and they just talk to one another in French without taking in the fact you are sitting there, unaware of the conversation?" Then again, I realise that asking them such a long question might be lost on them (imagine a 'Kong Meh ah?") since they don't really speak ENGLISH so I shut up and eat my food in silence.

WHATEVER.

Anyway, I have a really bad sore right eye. It's red and it keeps tearing. Dammit. Don't know if my eyes are conditioned to tear now after my 'little' incident at BKK airport but it is nasty and it's painful as though someone left a fingernail in it or something. Ack.

Had a meeting with new boss and the team is short of one member yet again. We only just replaced MM who left us in Oct and this new person is only coming in in June. Great, just bloody great. In the meantime, everyone just asks me questions. LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE! I just wanna sit here quietly and do only what I need to do and put this on my CV and fuck off out of this cantoshithole.

Apparently there's a global marketing thingy happening in Istanbul in June, as well as a Digital Marketing forum in Korea. I should be going for Korea but fingers crossed I get to go to Istanbul as well. If that happens, it should be directly after the Singapore trip on 15 - 16 June.

I love travelling. I wish I get to travel more so I spend less time in Cantoshithole. Cantoshithole isn't so bad once in a while. I love my apartment. I hate Cantonese. I love my TV. I hate free Chinese newspapers being shoved in my direction every morning at the MTR station. I love my DVD/CD player. I hate people reading newspapers in the trains. I love beds. I hate people trying to correct my funny accented Cantonese. I love 'che zai mee' and will order that for lunch now.
