I didn't go office today - my best and most capable partner 'ban' me from going back to office with the best reason that I wont be able to work after night flight. I still have to do my report on this trip and I know it's a challenge for them to resolve all those emails within the 24hrs... But anyway, she's right.. I really cant concentrate today, even after my short nap. (I'm not a person who can sleep in the day; Day-time is the best time to do my activities and when night falls, it's time to rest esp at my age now)
Thinking back on my trip, I'm really so happy yet surprise with myself. I simply felt so at home..Maybe cos of my experience in my ex-company which made me comfortable with 'industrial' environment..In case you are wondering - my previous company is a Taiwanese MNC in eletronics manufacturing. I had the opportunity to travel to Taiwan so frequently that my mum called me a 'Taiwanese'. I really enjoyed working and living in Taiwan, and I was with B then. Not because I have all those good and close friends in Taiwan, but because I enjoy being in different culture. Then again, working in that company is really 'no-life'. I lived in company hostel just a street accross office, and we only leave the industrial park on weekends. I practically lived in office all day with all the food, laundry, clinic, gym, massage parlour and even a StatBuck cafe and 7-Eleven store provided within office block. (Those are normal facilities for all companies in Industrial park; some even have indoor swimming pool for employees) It really opened my eyes when I first joined....I'd work with them for another 5 years, if not for my 'promotion'..
OK, back to my experience in India..Though it's also in India industrial park, and different nature of business, the scale of its structure is much smaller than my experience, maybe that's why it's easier for me to 'blend in' on this trip.. I really thank God for the opportunity with that Taiwanese company..I can still remember I had to rush from Swissotel Stamford Hotel to Harbourfront for my 2nd interview with them on our anniversary celebration.. I was so interested for the position, though my experience was not that rich. I really thank God for such a kind, supportive and open-minded boss - Vincent, and his expatriate team. Those good old days....
... Now that I've shared the 'happy' thoughts, it's sad thoughts' turn..The moment I entered my house this morning, my dog son - Hugo LIMPED joyfully to me. He's really limping in his walk and jumps! I knew at once something is WRONG, PAINFULLY WRONG! Though Hugo is attention-seeking, but he has never been like this before! You can really see the pain in his eye, together with his joy of seeing me. Mum told me it just happened suddenly last night with no particular reason or special activity involved. How my heart aches! He's like a son to me, so attached to me (or rather, I'm attached to him)!
He's hurting so badly that he didn't even respond to his favourite food and snacks. He just follows me around all day and wanting me to carry him in my arms.. (Yes-he's so pampered and so smart!) Even right now, while I'm writing this entry, he is sleeping besides me on my bed, resting his head on my lap, like a baby seeking comfort from mother....This is the first time he's SO LONGING for comfort; nothing else matters except comfort from his pain.. Trust me, my heart really aches.. how I want to help to relieve his pain, yet all I can do is to pat him to sleep, trying to make him as comfortable as possible...
The first thing to do tomorrow morning is to bring him to vet, that's for sure.. Even if it gonna cost me quite a sum, but as long as Hugo is healthy and happy again.. Please pray for him, thanks!
