You will come from the land Down Under
It's a busy day. Actually it was a continuity of yesterday's schedule which I and Ginny left the office at 3am working for JNTO project. It was raining and was really fit for sleeping when I decided to take a look at one early Simpson's espisode, "Moaning Lisa". It's rather queer since Homer's voice was different, lower toned and uncharacteristic. Anyway I slept on it. When I woke up it was past 10. It's been a long time since I woke at this time. Contrary to most of the others who stay in bed later on weekends, I wake up earlier by an hour on Saturdays and Sundays and holidays.
As much as this is a bonus for me to acomplish things like having haircut, follow up Genex cargo stalled in the warehouse in Davao and replenish household supplies -- today is SAR Establishment Day, The Handover, whatever you call it. It's also Raul Ramirez's birthday. Later today I had my household meeting with Zandro and Junjun at Zandro's place. We also met Anthony of SFC Beijing and discussed being a facilitator with him. With everybody busy for the seminar, I have no doubt things will get better in handling the event. After all, as a Team Leader I need to be accountable for everything in the activity.
We also had a despedida party for Jen who is coming to Sydney to start another phase in life.
I made a personal haiku for her the other dawn:
"The time has come to pack and head towards the Outback
To bid goodbye to dimsum, to the Peak
The MTR ride, everyday of the week.."
"So they say, life's like that
In constant motion, changes and all that.
As you'll reluctantly say farewell
To the place and people you got to know and loved well,
The memories remain, to everyone you will tell."
"We'll miss your talks, we'll miss your sharings
Your being with us in Christmas parties and Halloweens"
"You are soon welcomed by hopping kangaroos,
and the mystic beauty of the Uluru.
To the ever diverse horizons of Down Under,
We do hope they're there to ease the pains of missin' you."
"Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, you name it
The places are a wonder, they got it
While you miss the splendid Victoria Harbour
We guess Sydney's Darling is just across your door"
"Thank you Jenny for being with us
Through the tram, the ferry or the minibus.
Our friendship's always gonna be
Strong and faithful like a Sequoia Tree"
We hear you say:
"Thank you Yung Kee, thank you Gucci
Thank you ifc, and the wonderful shopping spree
It's been terrific all these years you're all here with me
Last but not the least, thank you SFC"
Later on, I joined Karen, Onin and Carol to Insomnia in Lan Kwai Fong for drinks and unwinding. The last visit to the bar was in March I guess. Although I am not a bar person, once I am invited and come along, I always enjoy feeling light during the hours of stay, gulping that Budweiser, dancing and poking fun at people who would playfully get back to us despite the incomprehensible conversations and cloud of smoke. I even saw one of my students swining to the break of dawn with a couple of her cousins flaunting in front of the band, who are their friends off the stage.
"It was 3am, and I'm still active" should be the song of one lady who seems not to get tired. And if she needs a break, the bouncer promptly disallows her to. Same for the "Ukrainian lady" who can't get enough on the dance floor.
The night was filled with fun, booze and loud music. Afterall, it's payday Friday and everyone wants to relax. But I experienced it more when I laid on my back at an hour later in my bed.
