Stop! Hammer time!

Ah finally back in the regular office hours of 08:30-17:00. Since last Friday me and a colleague had to arrange several things for what was supposed to be a huge 2 day exhibition (which it was big, kind of, about 8000 attendees over 2 days),on the Friday we mostly did booth checking; fixing spelling erors, arranging table and chairs, easy stuff it took us 2 hours from 19:00-21:00.

Over the next two days we were assigned tothe General information, there were lots of questions that we couldn't answer simply because the question were really meant for each visiting institution (how should I know which Hongokng University offers education as a course), aside from that the single most common question was "where's the toilet". We hung around the convention from 09:00 to 18:00 on Saturday after which we went to a dinner invitation, I was previously informed that there will be a free buffet and a free flow of that bitter golden colored bevarge, my old University student habit kicked in. I got back home at around 23:00.

The sunday wasn't that different either, exhibition form 11:00-18:00 and a dinner invitation, this time by the Hong Kong Trade Development Commission (HKTDC), no alcohol involved just a fancy full course dinner at the Hotel formerly known as Hilton (a.k.a Sultan) which I admit was very nice, one of the HKTDC people commented that the hotel was "showing signs of it's age" which I have to agree with considering that I used to frequent the hotel a while back. Over the course of the dinner we talked about a few things mainly about living and the current living cost in Hong Kong, education cost, employment opportnities for fresh graduates and social and business trends amongst other things, the rest of the night we had a nice sophisticated fun. The dinner was finished at around 21:00 which I decided to go straight home thinking I would still be in shape to work the next day.

Yesterday I woke up tired and I wasn't feeling very well, in the morning my throat was sore from talking too much the previous night, I called in sick and stayed home all day sitting in front of the T.V playing games all day.

Now I'm going to make a cup tea.
