Cataract removal

My mum just went through her cataract removal procedures. Both her eyes had the new lenses now.

I have been on annual leave since first day of her operation. Today will be the last day after staying with my parents for a week. I feel sad that I have to return to my husband's house tomorrow, while he will be away for business trip, leaving me and my mother in law at home.

The cataract removal is a simple procedure, but it takes a lot of post-operation care. My brother helped with the cooking most of the time, while I have been the driver. I don't enjoy the kitchen work, and don't have much passion on food. I much prefer stucked in the traffic than stucked in the kitchen.

I am pretty depressed now.

Bits and pieces

I have been busy travelling between my husband's house and my own home recently.
My mum just removed the cataract from her right eye today, she will do the same for her left eye coming Monday. So I am staying at home during this time.

After the visit to Korea, our agent had placed their first order, which is also my first order today. Not much, but was pretty pleased. Despite all the quality issue we have recently on our China product, and the discouragement from our MD, I am still feeling rather pleased... may be some hint of disappointment, because now that Korean market has showed some potentials, the MD said that he will take it away from me, and let some other sales person handling it.

There are still a lot of work to follow up for the order. So I shouldn't slack too much.

In fact, I should actually start looking actively for jobs, instead of letting the workload pouring over me. I am too tired covering Decamouth's work due to his incompetency, trying to open a road for myself by keep requesting to be in the sales team, and trying very hard to adapt myself to this new life after marriage.

I think I deserve a better treatment for my contributions.

Korea visit

Went to South Korea for business trip, thanks to Decamouth, the trip was rush and ill timed. To be specific, I was only spending my time in Seoul.

Anyway, I visited South Korea with Ms. Sulky, it was our first visit to South Korea and her first visit to four seasons country during winter, though the trip was short, I was able to try some authentic Korean food, except the beef and the beer -- Sulky doesn't eat and drink a lot of things.

I shared a room with Sulky, because she was afraid to sleep alone... sigh, first time in my life I met a mature lady who never slept alone before, which I find it hard to believe and understand.

A lady from our sales agent brought us to have a brief walk in Myeongdong street one night, and I brought a pack of ginseng face mask out of her recommendation. I tried it on after coming home, and I felt like a live ginseng after putting that mask on my face.

Got to see some young handsome kids dancing on some street performance.

I noticed most Koreans have very good skin, and am jealous. >_<

Meanwhile, our company phone was not working in South Korea, as the company did not subscribed 3G service provider nor 3G enabled phones for executives, which is different from managers. So both of us couldn't connect to any mobile network. To top it up, my wireless internet connection on the company laptop was disabled by the system administrator while upgrading our IT security. So I was practically disconnected from the world during that trip.

Ms. Sulky reflected the mobile issue to the MD and HR, the MD was disappointed with the double standard implemented by the HR, and the HR only mentioned that our mobile service provider confirmed that our package does not have 3G and said nothing more.

Anyway, despite the inefficiency of our company, I quite enjoyed the trip and the cold weather there.
