Job Offer

Ex-employer contacted me 2 days ago offering me a job in Tanzania for better employment conditions. Frankly I long to visit this country mainly because of safari and the culture. I brought up this issue to my immediate superior and friends, detailing the situation. Their common advice is "decide yourself". I reckon my resignation would disappoint my colleagues, and may tarnish my reputation being a freelancer. On the other hand there is no negative internal factor from my present employer that I could excuse myself. As yet I'm still insisting on "personal loyalty" to my present employer, but a friend warned / advised me otherwise.

After Work

Lingering at bar with a colleague has become my routine lately. It is relaxing to stay away from my computer and e-mails. Used to have a couple of beer each time, with a plate of snack, a few nonsense chat exchange with the bartender…and smoking cigarillo, simply for fun.

2nd Letter From My Sponsored Kid

It has been quite some time since I received the first letter from my sponsored kid on 05-Jul-07. Instead I'm too lazy to reply message to him. Unexpectedly I received 2nd letter from him yesterday. Immediately I spared my time to compose a letter. He said he will study English this semester, I would like to send him some books but I couldn't find any in this small town. Will try to ask some friends around…

Busy

My brain was in the state of mess in the past weeks. The hectic work has drained out my energy largely, coupled with family's problem, just do not have time and mood to think about posting article to this blog. Hope I could clean up the pile of doc on my desk within the next 2 weeks

夜

连续五个晚上与同一位同事流连於同一家酒吧喝酒。自己健康不好，也只能奉陪喝上两瓶。喜欢露天酒吧的宁静、侍应生的礼貌（以及美貌）。看着休闲来回的人潮，体会懒散的生活节奏，有感我何必把自己忙得绷紧。

昨晚上喝得比较晚，特意绕了一个圈才回家，借冷风醒醒微醉的脑袋。原来这朴素的小镇午夜过后有另一番景象。有人徘徊在昏暗的公园仿佛在寻找猎物（或等待被猎）、有热恋的少男少女忘情地热吻、有不想回家的孩子三五成群地在街上溜达。突然很怀念国内的大排挡，很想吃一碗皮蛋瘦肉粥。
