Parallel World

This is absolutely a shocking night. Germany 4:0 won Argentina!! I was expecting Brazil and Argentina til the final, you know…

Anyway, I went to watch the football game between the two teams at City Inn Karaoke tonight. It’s the second time to be there, not bad a place at all.

The girl who has recently transferred from the other subsidiary went. She’s a very smart girl, and very funny. She gave me a feeling of maturity that she knows how to separate life and work. When work, she concentrates; when live, she enjoys. That said as she’s good at being a colleague as well as a friend. Honestly, I like her very much.

The boy, who just joined our company a couple of months ago, is also a guy I like. He’s good at socialing, and very considerate to others. However, he’s not that focused on his career that he appears not so responsible for himself during work. But I like him anyway, a good guy, can be a good friend. I should tell him what I think of him before he leaves for Dubai again.

And there’s also this Ausie joined us tonigh, a CBA – Chinese Born Australian, to be precise. Nothing much to talk about him yet, I only knew him for less than a week. He’s a new asset to my team, I would expect him to be a good colleague and a good friend too.

There were other colleagues and people having fun together tonight. They were nice.

Tonight reminds me the days of my Scotland-hood. I’m sitting at the balcony, sobering up myself and enjoying the breeze. The moon hangs on the night curtain with half face covered, a shiny star not far away from it, looking like approaching the moon, but never gets any closer. I used to go out with Alex, Michele, Michal, Ruta, and Cicy, then do the same in Stirling, though the view was way much better. I also went out with Larry and Nickie, and Annie and Maja. Remembering those Salsa nights and Edinburgh visits makes me feel warm inside, so warm inside.

I miss my friends, I miss Maja.

Maja gave me a call this afternoon when I was still in office. Hearing her voice surprised me and made me very happy. When seeing other couples, I always think of her. Not knowing when I can see her again worries me. I’m not old, but not young either. I’m at the age that should prioritize the key issues of my life before it’s too late. I would like to multi-tasking, but that always generates unsatisfactory outcome. So no way to go there. Prioritize, prioritize.

I was told there was some eyesore in the department about me recently. I don’t care at all to be honest. I can roughly figure out why it happens. It’s not big deal, but just like Jason said, it could lead to some difficulties in my future work. I’d better see into that. When I am deciding what people I like, the people are also deciding whether they like me. Human beings are so complicated, or is it just Chinese? Eh well…whatever…
