Well Sing Chyun … think of the meeting room at NUS we used to occupy, same number of team members, minus the view, and half the size. Ya, now you get the picture. Stay tuned … I shall blog about the meeting room one day.

Wow, sure beats working in a rundown meeting room where a rat freely runs around and you can hear the water pipe sound. Ha ha. Nope, we didn’t talk much about sex back then, did we?

But well, the prata shop makes up for it all.

Lani! How old am I eh? Not too old yet not too young. Ha ha ha. Not to generalise culture, I am brought up in a family that has a rather strong Chinese tradition. Hence, the way I see the world through this lens of mine may be different from some others here.

Really interesting…. hahaha

Wilfrid, seriously how old are you??? You do sound erm…. a bit old fashion at times. My impression of a hongkonger is so not like you.

That aside, looks like you have a pretty fun-loving bunch of colleagues!

Hiya Ivy. Good to hear that things are improving at your end. Keep writing ya?

I will be honored to have mine linked in your site. Will do likewise if you don’t mind!

I don’t know about if the company is liberal or not. Just trying to get used to the new working environment. In no time … I shall get them to talk about things like music and movies and food outlets!

Fat hope. None of them seems to be interested at these topics at all … ha ha ha.

Hiya Wilfrid. Thanks for your ‘get well soon’ wishes. Really appreciate it.
Whoa. Looks like you’re working in a ‘sexually charged’ environment now. I guess SEX, apart from family, is a common topic for people. So, it will inevitably come up when you’re in liberal company. =)
And SEX is non-work related and a no brainer activity. Talking abt it sure beats discussing work during downtime sessions. Haha.

By the way, I read your blog regularly. Mind if I link you on my site?

It is still too early for me to assess if the project is that stressful. But if smoking has any correlation to stress level, I think there are only 2 non-smokers in our sizable team – me and another lady colleague. Okay, you are right. It must be that stressful.

haha… no la… what I mean is that the company must be soooo ‘stressful’ that the guys need some ‘outlets’ for ‘relaxing’(?)… hahaha…

oh… you do think the topic will get ‘old’…?? I am not a boy and I dunno… just thought that this is a ‘universal’ and ‘ever-young’ topic among guys… hehehe… (no discrimination though… ) let’s see whether I am right or wrong after a month… =) enjoy!

Lora – Actually, it is not that stressful. Quite entertaining at times. I wonder if the topic will get old and these guys will talk about something else. Ha ha ha.

ECL – Ya, I read about your blog on girls keep getting pregnant at your … “workplace”. It is such an eye opener to me … ha ha ha. Well, to answer your question, I am pretty open to the topic of sex of course after mixed with different cultures. But personally I take a rather different view on the emotional and spiritual linkage to the meanings and actions behind sex itself. I tend to view sex or any intimate acts as part of the enriching and at times healing process rather than the act of mindless destruction (when emotions are concerned).
