95% humidity, Typhoon 2do list and a call from hr

here is the starting of a post I wrote during the first week of July:
"the plot takes an interesting twist. interesting enough for a post, that's for sure. details will sure follow but for now I'll say these are quite amazing times. and I'm writing this just so that I remember these very moment down the road. an acquaintance told me this weekend that 'life will not challenge you with challenges you can't handle'. she knows what she is saying.

a month later - and I'm working in HK, completing my carrier move. wow. hard to believe. situated in hong kong soho, at the very center, in a small yet ultra convenient service apartment. learning what 95% humidity is. learning what 95% humidity feels like when wearing a suit. experiencing my first Typhoon. which involves a typhoon check list at work. crazy stuff. i think i now believe that everything is possible. i think it is part of growing up.

work is doable. there is lots to learn and I feel the energy again. i really am happy and can't stop wondering about the amazing way (7 months' long) that led me here. away from N for the longest time ever. i miss her. first incident at work today when colleagues approached me with a question i, surprisingly, not only understood but could also answer. :)

Ms. A, head of hr, called me 2 hours ago telling me that some other colleagues brought to her attention the fact that I don't have working visa yet, might impose a serious legal problem to the company's directors. she told me not to come to work tomorrow. like i wrote earlier, after the various twists and Typhoons - I can resist even the most peculiar phone calls. hhhmmm. T called me after to apologize for the inconvenience. what a man.

life is interesting. from 'same shit, different day' to 'every day, different story'. i like it better this way...
