Missing my Man

Boohoo. It was raining cats and dogs earlier this morning, the ominous dark cumulonimbus looming on top of our heads, the pre-storm winds blowing akin a mini-tornado, swirling the dropped leaves and rubbish and all around on the roads. Good thing I was few minutes ahead of the storm to reach the safety of the bus stop.

Rainy and stormy weather. Makes me worry about the waves out at South China seas, and fear they might rock the ship too hard. Hope it’s all weather clear over there! Otherwise WW will be puking all over L so long since we last talked, boohoo.

Life is laden with worries. Luckily humans have the ability to forget easily and overwrite worries with nonchalance.

We had a gathering with the scholars and our company’s management, CEO and Chairman just now. I’ve been here for close to two years, but rarely have such a chance for interaction with top management. Most of the time we are too immersed in our work, the day-to-day aspects, to take a strategic view of the business, to take a retrospective moment and to chart our quest for higher ambitions in the corporate world. Some management shared that even though we may chart our aim for the next ten years ahead, things may not turn out the way we have planned. Often, you would need to get ready for the next opportunities, identify them when they come along, and jump in before others do. It’s a matter of prepping yourself up, advancing in certain areas (which I know nothing of either).

So, the CEO wants to have a breakfast session with us, the ones who have graduated and started working here for 1-2 years. The 老教. Don’t know what the agenda is, but glad to be given the chance for some interaction and view-sharing. Otherwise I would just be stuck at my desk handling daily project issues and work!
