破镜重圆

某人酒后吐真言或是借酒行凶不重要，反正已将呈现裂痕的镜子狠狠地敲碎。很不舒服，根刺难以再拔除。破镜无论如何重圆始终会将倒影瓜分。天下无不散的筵席，迟早的事宜。我想续约的决定可能已是个错误。

Next Job

Have extended 2 months contract for the on-going projects till end Jun-10. All of us most likely will leave this country for good thereafter. Colleagues start looking for new job, wherever it will be as long as conditions are right.

I receive an offer, but it is still in the initial negotiation stage. The job site is in South East Asia, will be kicked-off very soon. Which means immediate transfer is requested if I’d be employed (my conditions seem too costly for them). Instead I plan/ wish to have a few months rest in between jobs.

Meanwhile, a friend in Australia invites me to start a restaurant business in Sydney. Sounds not bad… I like the city, but I have zero experience in this field. For future and longer term planning, it might be a good move. On the other hand, the working hours are long and the freedom will be very much restricted. Am thinking, do I really have to start from zero again? After all these whiles working in the projects, I can’t imagine if this new business would suit me.

Still too early to decide…

South & North Korea Conflict, what next?

A South Korean’s navy ship sank at the disputed water at Yellow Sea last month, heighten the tense relationship between the North and South Korea. 46 sailors on boards were killed. Case is being investigated, alleged torpedo assault from North Korean’s submarine. Pyongyang has denied involvement.

Let’s speculate, what if Pyongyang tells lie, South Korean’s immediate military revenge would probably be activated though some analysts bet otherwise saying that South Korea can’t afford to harm the export driven economy. US and Europe for sure would standby Seoul. A good excuse to eliminate the nuclear facility in North Korea, and to emancipate the long suppressed communism in the name of humanitarian.

I guess Pyongyang’s traditional ally, China would try to dissolve the dispute peacefully and prevent possibility of war eruption. The main reasons would probably be shunning off US influence in the region, or maybe keeping North Korea to counterbalance the power of Japan and South Korea. For whatever reason it might be, Beijing can’t provide backup officially.

Leçon de Français

Franchement, je suis tout à fait profiter de la classe de français mais parfois je me sentais la pression d'apprendre une nouvelle langue. Mais il est bon de sortir plus tôt du bureau des œuvres. Après 2 mois, j'ai réussi à comprendre quelques phrases simples et le libellé. Pendant la lecture d'articles en français, il m'aide à comprendre plus facilement. Cela me fait sentir l'effort vaut la peine. Cependant, je dois admettre que cette langue est vraiment compliqué. Pas étonnant qu'il ne pouvait pas être la langue la plus populaire au monde.

Outre de celui-ci, il est agréable de rencontrer d'autres étudiants à travers le monde que je suis l'aîné. Ils sont si polis qu'ils ne m'appelle pas «mon oncle».

Bangkok Riot

The month-long “Red Shirts” protest has eventually turned riot on Saturday. The supporters of the exiled ex-Prime Minister Thaksin stormed the parliament and several governmental buildings earlier demanding resignation of present Prime Minister Abhisit and re-election. The government declared state of emergency on 07-Apr, and deployed tactics to dismiss the crowds. When the dispute heated up, violence followed.

People’s power is forceful, but could be ruined by a handful of people who has other intention. Who knows the terrorists in the southern Thailand are taking chance to mess up the situation to achieve their own goals? Who knows there are huge mobs waiting to loot the banks and shops?

The persisting tabulating political situation has tarnished the confidence of investors and tourists. If “Red Shirts” would win from this protest, you can’t be sure the equally strong opposition “Yellow Shirts” would organize the similar protest again to fight for their interest.

Just Do It!

Sports news is focusing on the return of Tiger Woods on the green course. Why people is so curious about his affair. This is his own business, why public keeps biting his tail? With his fortune nowadays, he can easily laugh it off. Well, I guess somehow he must bow to his sponsors who keep stuffing chunk of greenbacks into his pockets.

Nike must be glad to have Tiger as their brand spokesman. If you have balls, Just do it!

I Slipped My Tongue

It’s public holiday today in Rwanda, commemorating 1994 genocide.

Yesterday evening, as usual, while saying goodbye to a local colleague, I added “Enjoy your holiday!” He walked out from my room and returned after 5 seconds, said, “I can’t enjoy this holiday.” Oppss… I realized immediately I said something wrong and apologized to him. People is reluctant to recall and talk about this gory incident. Too many sad stories 16 years ago and they are trying hard to forget the past but time is too short to bleach the memory.
