It was one of the better working trips. I was not required to give any presentation, nor any demonstration for this trip to Hong Kong and China. I was there to observe and listen. The stress was much lesser compared to my previous working trips.
The food was good, the wine was good, and the company was not too bad either. The clients were happy, joking, and talking with us. My bosses seem happy too. All in all, it was a pretty good working trip.
The hotel that I stayed in was a bit old, but I chose a better room, so it came with a harbour view, and the Hong Kong night lights from my room was breathtaking. I regretted not bringing a camera for this trip, instead I had to rely on my Nokia N95 to take a few shots.
And after everything, as I sit on the sofa beside the window looking out at the Victoria Harbour, that familiar feeling slowly sip through the walls. The familiar places, the familiar food must have triggered it.
Taking a deep breath, and then sighing wistfully, I decided to join my bosses in the pub below for a few drinks. I have long told myself that no matter how thick I built the walls, it will never be able to completely block out everything. I just have to learn to ignore whatever that sips through the walls.
