Is There Anybody Out There?
Pink Floyd today :0). Looking out of the window from the apartment I am in can sometimes leave you wondering if anyone is around. I can see a few ferries gliding on by from time to time and a few buses on Queensway but very few people are in my line of sight unless I look straight down when I catch the odd person or two taking a lunchtime stroll.
Some time has been spent today rewriting my resume and looking for jobs in Hong Kong. I must say I do not relish this process and am sure you all feel the same way. I feel this partly because I am just doing it to get back into the job market and make some money and not firmly going for something more in line with where I may wish to be going with a job or career moving forward.
Another set back is my inability to seak Cantonese or Mandarin. However, there are plenty of ex-pats here who do not speak either and make it through the day ok. Spreichen Zie Duetsch??!
Hong Kong is in a semi-permanent state of fog and low cloud at the moment. It is an eirie sight but it is still strangely warm outside. I will have to take a picture tomorrow and eventually you will get to see some of Hong Kong through my eyes.
I tried to break the day up with a look at Charlies Angels: Full Throttle that was on tv earlier today. However, it was so bad I went back to looking for jobs!
I am still getting used to having short hair again. It is so nice after showering not to have to mess around with it but there is that element of “baked bean head” as my friend Alison would call it… :0).
Yesterday I was sitting on the sofa half watching tv when I noticed something in my peripheral vision. Suddenly something was rising up from the main window outside. It was two workmen in a cradle dong building maintenance. It felt funny but also intrusive to have these guys slide up by the window, I mean I could have been naked! I think the glass is tinted so they can not really see in during the day but at night the opposite is true. Anyway, I take my hat off to anyone who can get into one of those things.
I forgot to mention that I had a mole removed at the hospital last Friday. The bloody thing had changed dramatically so it had to come off. Anyway they teold me today there was no malignancy so I can rest easy on that one. I do have to go and have my stitches take out on Friday morning so you can imagine my excitement at returning to the hospital.
Lets hope there are no more dramas in the near future. Hell, it is the Chinese new year, there must be some good news for us Saggitarians……
