I've been working quite a few late shift these past few weeks and it has dawn to me that I have a pigeon that is quite desperate for some lovin. He 'hoots' every morning at 7:00 and randomly hoots after that until noon. It is rather annoying that he hasn't been laid yet cause I don't sleep well when i work late shift. By the look of it though in my opinion he is not gonna get any action anytime soon, lets face it buddy, its only jan.. not really the mating season.
Other issues in London, revolves around Billy, who has decided to swim into the Thames, the poor whale must of got so disoriented by the murky water, loads of tourist has decided to wait by the river and take pictures. Since 1915 there hasn't been any whale sighting, i wonder why.. so in the end Billy passed away, yes great story Lisa.. sad.
Work wise it was suck a shitty day today, I got in shit cause our reception people can't communicate with each other. It really bothers me how front desk is the core of communication in the hotel and they hire ppl who can't even speak the language. Don't want to get too involved with stories, but I just wanted to note that people who say they are perfectionist should reconsider their use of words, instead use Stubborn, or in chinese saying "cow's freakin corner".
Tomorrow would be my 8th day at work, the joy it brings me and i am definitely looking forward to my 9th day. I also like the fact that even on my day off i have to come to work for a meeting in the morning. I think i am sounding bitter with regards to my job, but i can't help it cause I am getting abit drained.
On a positive note, I got my weekend off for chinese new year! wuhuu, so going to go ice skating with my friends and have a traditional chinese new year dinner with them at a nice restaurant.
I am almost done reading the Eye of the World, its freakin great, it has that lord of the rings suspense to it, the first thing i do when i get my paycheck next week is to get the 2nd book, at this rate, it would take me up till summer to finish the recently published one. I've also picked up a book called the rules of work at the HK airport on the way back to London, so far its been quite motivating, hopefully that will get my career on track.
