london and work

things have been in a mess lately. i think i have been focusing too little on work, with the resulting mess. i am planning for a business trip (from scratch) with a month to go, but half of that month will be spent holidaying in london. really well done. i will probably still have to check my emails while holidaying, just so i don't die when i am back.

to add salt to the wound - my bonus letter will be distributed in the week that i am in london. excellent, really excellent. the only way i will be able to guess how well i have performed is through the size of my e-payslip, which frankly will be as illuminating as me plucking an alphabet from air.

but of course there are other things, other distractions. and things are very complicated. it is during times like these when i wonder if i am a principled person, because what principles i claim to have seem to be rapidly cast to the corner of my mind when situations change. and this is greatly unsettling.

taiwanese dramas and jerry yan...

the problem with watching taiwanese dramas is that they make you have really warped notions of what guys do. inevitably, the female lead ends up liking the male lead first, before the male lead realises how much he has fallen for her, and starts to do all those crazy sweet things for her.

in this series that i am watching, it is already heartwrenching that the eye candy of choice is jerry yan. then, they create a scene in which jerry yan looks into the female lead's eyes and professes his feelings for her, and how it must be love. i am sure that is any female's dream come true. and have him buy freshly popped popcorn, and even buy wrapped candy for her...

sigh.
