one week has passed and im still safe and sound in Hong Kong. i wont say my week went by without any hiccups or happenings but it's pretty okay as well. nothing very very drastic happen but still it's quite an eventful week here.
on tuesday, i was soooo sad. i almost wanted to go home. haha basically, on this day, there is an announcement that my new team will be spilt into 2 and i have to report to a new boss. i have nothing against the new boss but well, i kinda like my old boss. and with this split, there are more people joining us and it's kinda like back to square 1 for my current team. but anyhow, we will get by. was really shocked initially, followed by sad and unsettled and now, im pretty okay. accepting the fact that things have changed. oh well, cliche saying goes: change is the only constant. anyway, im pretty open to this new manager and hopefully, the new team can create sparks and all. ai zhai ai zhai. haha!
and on tuesday, i was feeling sooo pathetic. basically, i went to a mobile shop near my office to get a line. and when i reached there at 720pm, it has closed. darn. so the gung-ho me decided to take a train to the Causeway Bay and try to locate a simliar shop. and so that's what i did but it's not soo simple. i asked around and walked and walked, aimlessly, without knowing where i was and where i was going. the only aim is to looking for the mobile shop and thank God, i found it. so i got my line. then i asked around where is Wan Chai Road as i need to take a bus back and i followed some isntructions and walked and walked and walked. Aimlessly again. i've walked past 5 macdonalds and several bus-stops but i still did not find my bus. so wanted to call someone to ask BUT i dont have any numbers on my mobile. how sad is that? so i walked and walked and finally, took a cab home, only to realize the next day that i am just 1 metre away from the bus-stop that has my bus. ARGH. anyhow, i told my colleagues the next day and one of them was soooo sweet. he told me " oh man, call me. come give me your mobile. " hee hee. if he's not married, i would have marry him RIGHT AWAY!!!
other than that, i was busy with house-hunting. sooo difficult and so tiring. HK is sooo hilly and i have to walked up and down, up and down. but thank God, my agent is really good. she's very nice and sweet and has shown me many many apartments. some of them are pretty alright, some are small, old and dirty. the bigger and nicer ones are beyond my budget BUT im in a good position for bargains as the market is really bad. hee hee. thus far, have viewed 24 apartments and i have fallen in love with some. anyway i think i am more or less decided on which apartment to rent but i need my agent to negotiate for a cheaper price. hee hee. remember i have the bargaining power now. hehe! am pretty excited about getting my own house though.
oh there was a farewell party for a manager on friday. so i went because (1) FREE booze, (2) FREE food ( but only finger food, (3) networking (sigh). it was pretty alright. i had quite a bit as it's FREE but i was really hungry as there's only finger food. sigh. networked a bit by introducing myself to the sales team and also chit-chatted to some managers. wanted to talk to more girls from my department but they didnt even say " hi " to me. sob sob. i guess they really dont like me. HAHA do i look like i care? not really right? haha this is bad. anyway, it's pretty fun and interesting to see the mangers drunk and dancing crazily. but i still miss partying with my peeps in Singapore.
ooh, halloween this friday and i've gotten a party to attend. looking forward to it. darn, need to get a costume. need to spend money again. sigh.
