re work

i have never understood why people go for company trips. call me anti-social and elitist. but i mean, you see them for 10, sometimes 12 hours every single day! to go on holiday with the same bunch? unless you really click. urgh... to me, it's just extending my fake, always politically correct self to my w'ends as well. thanks, but no thanks.

i work with a bunch of really good hearted people (most of them anyway), and i can deal with the shallow conversations we have, bitching about the same things bla bla bla. but to actually click with them on the same level? hhmm.. still wishful thinking. it's not just the fact that i can't spew out a few cantonese or hokkien words when i speak to them. the difference goes much deeper. there are too many differences; in culture, upbringing, exposure... i shock them too much. they are such simple, black-and white people.

i am this three headed alien in their midst. amusing, like a little freak show. even the politics here is different. it's more small minded and harmless. petty. silly. not even worth a nano second in the mad, rat race that is KL. and i've been in that mad rat race. it can be fun. if you're on the right side of the fence. adrenaline pumping. and the people are more interesting. fast, sharp, unforgiving. really good dress sense. keeps you on your toes. i still can't decide which i prefer.
