Monday wasn't blue it was just blurry. Lack of sleep really. It's funny how every night when you have the opportunity to sleep early, but you just don't and then wake up feeling really sorry for yourself for having denied the most basic joy in life, which is glorious sleep. But somehow the lesson just doesn't stick, and the next night, again it happens, and the following morning, wallowing in sleep-deprived pity.


Anyways, the best way to start a Monday is to have a 3and a half hour conference meeting. It was pain. The regional director was sitting twelve o'clock across me, no way can i nod off. I was tasked to take notes although half the time not only did i not understand the IT jargon, can't make sense of the accents to save my life. Indian accent i'm ok, australian still can get it, indonesian ok, Thai and korean accents are the best. It doesn't sound english. Halfway about the 2hr mark, i went helium-minded. That was the threshold for me. Gerald suddenly went,"beverly!". Actually,"suddenly" is really subjective, cause when you are in dozey mood, somehow everything seems to be another suddenly. He asked me a question, which of course i couldn't answer, cause all energy was channeled from the brain, to fighting the closing eyelids.


I suppose the most convincing look, is to look very alert but yet a little bewildered. So bam! Big eyes! But i think it looked more like deer-caught-in-the-headlights. Turned out to be a really simple question, and the only reason that explained the inability to answer, was daydreaming of course.


Anyways, there was a trip to Phuket that had just passed. So this guy called David pulled this lousy joke. Apparently the Phuket itenary included either elephant ride or a buffalo ride. Buffaloes are known to be a little wonky cause when they feel pissed off, they start having spasms, and begin to run amok. This often leaves the buffalo-rider, more than a little distressed. So to cut the long story short, a gungho korean girl, Hyeon-Jin decided to ride the buffalo. She got really frightened and started screaming her lungs out. Buffalo got distressed hearing the screams and then stopped abruptly to take a poop. It's really strange to me how come the buffaloes have such weird reflexes. Anyways, David was like...so what does this say?


"It shows that you can literally scare the shit out of someone."


Urgh, that was SO crass.
