September 18, 2007 11:34 pm Macau, lifeLanded around 5.20pm yesterday. Took a cab to the office to collect the key to the apartment. Had Mos Burger, and slept. Tiring first day.
went to work today. being so totally new, i just sat there watching my colleagues work. i am wondering if i can ever cope.
all they use is cantonese to troubleshoot. my cantonese is half past six. colleagues are pretty friendly people and seemed like
a crazy bunch. went and had lunch with them today and they were decent enough to bring me around and help me order food.
all the menus are in MANDARIN! i read no mandarin!!! then had a welcoming dinner with 2 of my colleagues just now.
well, that is all for today. still very tired.
