As my sister’s dancing group was performing at the Macau Tower, I was able to get a backstage pass. Got to meet some stars, and took pics with a few. William took pics with the most people, and did not hide himself. Edmond and Alex were nice too, as long as you can get to them. Ronald interacted a bit with the people but did not stop for pictures. Andy and Miriam were the worst as they were walking real fast and didn’t even smile. Overall it was fun!
Another book by Jimmy. I liked it! There are a lot of pictures in this book and the pictures do tell a thousand words. I really wonder where he gets his creativity from. This book does ask a lot of "Pourquoi"s and a lot of them are questions that each of us have, but remained unanswered. I will continued to read more of Jimmy’s books.
I read this book before, and finally own it now. It is one of my favourite, along with Little Prince. I had always found Jimmy’s books to be interesting, especially this one. I love the story and can read it over and over again. It is one of those books that give you a different feeling each time, depending on your emotional state. With the way I am feeling lately, this book is real suiting and the words bring special meaning. I am happy to own this version and it is a wish of mine to have all of Jimmy’s books, wonder will it be possible.
It’s Christmas again! Haven’t spent a Christmas in Macau since 1991, but I couldn’t feel any X’mas spirit at all. I guess, afterall, I am used to white X’mas. And Christmas wish for this year? I wish I can see Sugar soon. I really, really miss her. This is definitely a lonely, lonely X’mas. In the past, no matter how lonely I feel, I have Sugar beside me. Unlike this year, I am truly by myself, and I feel very alone. It’s like there is no one else on this planet, or should I say, there is no one else on my planet coz everyone else are together. I think I will get use to it sooner or later, and then I will be alright. In the meantime, all I can do is wish that next year will be different.
Feeling confusingly depress these few days. I don’t even know the main reason for it. One reason would be realizing that I miss someone. The worse thing is I don’t know when will we meet again. Short lived happiness is worse than not having experience happiness at all. Once again I am only left with memories, and memories are no longer what I want. Memories cannot keep me alive and memories cannot make me happy. The worse thing is I am still walking around smiling, when all I wanna do is to lock myself up. I don’t like this feeling at all. It’s like I have a dual personality; maybe I am coming up with some mental illness. Plus I am giving myself pressure at work, since I think it’s time to preform. I will be the coordinator of a project and be in charge of the PR side. I am not too confident in my abilities in this field, but all I know is that I cannot screw it up; thus the pressure. Plus, my family went to Taipei for vacation and I am all alone here. The alone part is good but since I really (100x) wanna go to Taipei, it’s very upsetting. Plus there are many more personal issues, which are adding up. My brain is just getting harder and harder, and about to explode. But guess what! I am still smiling.
After a week in Housekeeping, I got a nice break as I had been borrowed to Sales & Marketing. I will be in S&M for 5 weeks, then back to Housekeeping after to complete the remaining 5 weeks. I am looking forward to my time in S&M since there will be a project that I will be part of. I will actually be able to contribute to the department and that’s nice to know. The week in HSKP had been tiring, and I am actually quite good at making beds (as long as they are twin size). I don’t mind making beds at all, but the dusting and bathroom part I am not too fond of. What I am enjoying most about my job is that I get to meet all the people, and most of them are very nice. I guess a big reason is that I am a trainee and that I don’t belong to any department. There’s no conflict and they feel comfortable with me. I am quite omfortable with the working environment.
After being in Human Resource Department for one week, I am in Housekeeping this week. Other than being extremely tired, I am hating this department. The job, like making the bed and cleaning the washroom, is not the best there is, but acceptable. What’s making me hate this job is the people. I think the manager is the most important person in the team, and one that is not good, screws up the whole team. I totally disagree with his managing style and I hate going to work seeing him everyday. If I am to work for this department in the future, I can mind as well stop training right now, coz I will resign for sure. I will be here six weeks and this will probably be one of the hardest six weeks in my life. Sometimes I just feel like giving up, but know it’s not worth it because of one person. I enjoy the job nature and the GM is probably one of the best I can find. He is so nice to me and I do wanna try working for him. I am just telling myself that 6 weeks or 36 days working days will go by fast. It’s actually 33 days since there are 3 vacation days, which means there are 30 more to go. Hope the countdown ends soon.
Watching this movie gave me chills. I won’t say it was very good, but there seem to be a big impact. I think Andy’s acting was good, and I really like the way it was filmed. The story line was a little strange but watching it gave me a feeling i can’t explain. Overall, I liked this movie.
I actually preferred Digital Fortress more than this one. I guess because I am more into code breaking than religious symbology. But I really wanna go to Vatican City now. This book is quite unrealistic though, but I think it is the implication that matters. Is religious really dying? Does religious need a miracle to proof God’s existence? These are issues addressed in this book. It is still a recommended read though, and I really admire the author’s ability in story developments. Deception Point is next!
Trying to adjust to my working life in Macau, and I am not liking it. It is so tiring. After work, I just wanna sit there; don’t even have the mood to go online. Luckily, so far, I have been able to hire a taxi in the morning. After work though, it’s another story. There are no taxis at all and I have to get on a crowded, badly driven bus. And there are so many cars in Macau; taking forever to get home. I don’t know if I can get use to it or I will have to find some other alternative. Well, there are positive to my workplace. I get free breakfast and lunch, and the food are not bad. There are congee and noodles or marcaroni for breakfast. Lunch, there are rice with usually 4 kinds of meat or veggies. I can actually safe more than I expect with free food. Though I make a lot more when I was in Toronto, but I can definitely safe more here. It is very tiring though, and the week doesn’t seem to end. I only have to work 4 1/2 days this week and it already seem eternal; can’t imagine how I will survive next week.
