Building People, People Building

I have not written for 2 weeks due to various reasons..
busy saying goodbyes in Shanghai and packing for home
Snuck in a 5 day trip to HK. A fantastic relaxing break for me just doing minimally and getting enough rest. I didn't even buy anything off a shop shelf.

Today is another milestone for me. Started work at the new workplace, where I'm supposed to build my future. Glad that a China colleague dropped in to share stories, realised reality is never too far away. Hope I do get my chance back at Shanghai again cos it wasn't really enjoyable professionally. 2007 has been such a mixed year that it is so hard to give it a report card. The teacher would probably write: Had his moments, but grades could have done better. Better conduct expected next year. Well-liked by classmates but not exactly the most popular boy around.

Well, I have been generally well-behaved... but as with the rest of my life, I'm not the model student. Flaws are apparent! *shrugs*

Nothing much to write about the new work at the moment, just that I will be a one-man team for much of August and September. Just found out that the 2 girls in my team have already tendered! Expecting up to 2 new colleagues. Well, sometimes a fresh start is good but at the same time challenging. I will be spending some time in HCMC/Hanoi so hopefully friends do visit and keep me company. Not so sure about the nightlife though. Heard all nightspots close at midnight. Time to do more reading and writing I guess.

Bedtime!
