Papa Tang is leaving this Saturday.
He is going back to China for about half a year. Funny, how I started to prioritise family time so much higher after I started work. But it was work itself which robbed me of time to spend with my dad.
So tonight I had stayed late to do my work. So tomorrow I can leave earlier. I hope.
I got home just now and I saw my dad and brother fiddling with their laptops. Apparently my dad bought my brother a hard drive and it couldnt work on the Mac.
My father started blaming himself for plugging the hard disk into his own Windows operated laptop first, and he thought he sort of caused the hard disk to not work and making it uncompatible for my brother's Mac.
So for an hour, all 3 of us were seated around the table with our laptops and trying all sorts of way to fix it.
Throughout the whole time, my dad looked really upset because the disk couldnt work. And at the end of it, he kept chiding himself for being itchy fingers and testing the hard disk on his own laptop first.
I told him that it wasnt his fault but he kept blaming himself. In fact he was so bugged and angry at himself that he started yelling. Then he banged the dishes while he was doing them.
That repeated for quite a while. Then my dad took out his home kit to test his high blood pressure haha.
Anyway he kept beating himself up over and over and over again and he looked so pained I felt bad. It wasnt even like he wasted the money because Im sure he can get a refund. But its the whole fact that he got so angry at himself for "making" the disk faulty.
It made me realise how careful and learning a man he is. I could be learn to be a little more of that.
On another note, here are some photos of the social side of my working life, though little.
I need to sleep soon so I wont go into details but here's pretty much the few times we had colleague-outings. and such.
AGM. Theme: Shanghai Royale. Thus the chingchong costumes.
Sarah's farewell dinner.
Inkbar thereafter, where our art director suggested drinking goggles. Except his version was to go "boop" instead of "bloooooop".
We also played a game that requires each person to come out with an adjective to describe your genitals. It has to start from A, and if you cant come up with anything else, you drink. And then we move on to B.
The guys will have to say "My penis is (insert adjective)."
The girls will have to say "My vagina is (insert adjective)."
Here are a few that came up that night:
My penis is anorexic.
My vagina is anal.
My penis is rotten.
My vagina is messy.
My penis is floppy.
My vagina is accomodating.
And the photo of the night:
Pacman.
Our CEO just sent out a mass mail saying that we are not allowed to represent ourselves as company staff in any way on online journals.
Thus, if you noticed, I don't mention names.
When you start working, you never really feel very private anymore, yet you've never felt so lonely either.
