Periodic Mumble
This morning, I woke up at 9am+. This is already expected. Last week, just after I confirmed the flight schedule, I told Yong, I would not follow him to office today. I will come slightly later so will drive by myself.
Before reaching office at around 10am, I already received a SMS from boss, telling me about a RFP - which part he'll do, and which part I need to do. In his impression, I always reach office at 8am+.
I started to look into the task only after 11am, after settling some other things. Knew about the prospective project (and I'd be helping) since last week, and the client specifies the doc in certain format. Honestly, I hate to follow format, hence feeling a little demotivated to do this prospective project.
All the detailed company profile, letter of transmittal, executive summary... I really hate to write all these.
Don't know.. sometimes I feel more the technical docs I write, I need to balance myself by writing similarly amount of soft articles (e.g. blog).
BTW, just to moan a little.. after this, still need to continue doing...
My schoolmate since primary school, Xiao Li, recently went to Nanjing, China to further studies. That day, she sent me her diaries on the first few days reaching the new place, then I asked her to start a blog, so we (everyone who knows her) can constantly visit the blog and read about her.
She's a newbie in blogging and not so good with technical stuff (layout, picture etc). But I believe she will learn all required skills very soon.
While taking lunch in Brunei yesterday, the 2 guys talked about women, starting with how the HK women do not like to cook, do house chores, not gentle enough (compared to Taiwan girls), and then why there are a lot of unmarried ladies nowadays etc.
Both of them expressed their valuable insights, I just listened. When Chin Toon asked me if I agree, I replied "no comment". My boss said, maybe I don't understand now, but when I get older, I will feel their sayings are very true.
I was not having no opinion at all, but I just didn't want to say it. Two almost 40-year-old men versus me, what will it end up to be?
However, when they said they both have a lot of female friends who are still not married at the age of 30-40, I thought of my friends - majority of those who have got married are guys. Girls, they go overseas for better job, or to pursue further studies.
I also don't know if the girls nowadays have higher ambition than the men, ending up, the men tend to go find "small and simple woman" to be their wives... both of them also said, the wife is not nice to be too good, such as getting high salary, being too smart, very capable - hard to manage ma.
Such a woman and man topic, is it worth to explore? Isn't everything based on our destiny?
[OK, didn't go out for lunch but wrote this post. Gotta back to work now.]

I think both of your male colleagues fall under the category of Male Chauvinistic Pigs. They feel intimidated by women who earn a good salary figure. They need "small and simple" women to satisfy their bruised ego. ;)
titoki, never expect this article is able to attract your first comment ^^... yesterday...
A: nowadays a lot women are not married at the age of 30-40
B: this is coz nobody wants them
Me: (thinking in mind) it should be - the men cannot afford capable women, or the women do not want incapable men
[thatz why I chose to be silent]
Well i think human now a days feel much better living alone. No string attached and free to do anything at anytime.
Indeed this is a very subjective things that can be argued for hours or days .. so i better not comment too much on this topic.
The topic is quite subjective to be discussed … depends on individual preferences. For me, I have a preference to get a wife who is smarter than me, and fortunately I got one. Hahaha. She is better than me in most of the fields and I feel blessed to have her as my lover.
Guys should be proud if they got to find a bright girl friend or wife. It’s not a matter of salary or intelligence comparison. If we love someone, we are wishing them the best all the time. We should feel pleased if our girlfriends or wives are learning more and progressing well in their lifetime. Supports should be given when both love each other.
