Funny character

There is nothing specific to mention in this entry. I have forgotten what to write once got logged on to the blog. Hmm...

It's been really taxing to work for the past few days. But I guess I have to get adapted to this kinda working life because we are literally short of staff and I could see this issue gets more serious for the coming months when some of the colleagues are leaving for either attachments or on leave.

Vu came today looked abit lost. He told me that his wallet was stolen by someone while he was trying to get here. He came from a very far place. I called his dad to explain his situation and then advised him to make a police report. I used to find him a little strange. He looks like one of the deceased uncle in the family who took drugs and finally succumbed to his illness. He had diabetes.

He used to be very nice to me when I was younger but as everyone knew, he was a cunning man in the family, squandered some of the relative's money to support his drug addiction. He married but later the wife left him with the son. I believe he had made alot of empty promises and very cunning when it came down to money. Anyhow, he was ok with me because I was doing quite well in studies then while most of the cousins are drop outs.

So, come back to Vu. They resembles in appearance and how he brings himself. He is very thin, scrawny. His skull bone is so prominent and he has a tattoo on his arm. All the while, he was nice to me. But being nice doesn't mean he won't take advantage of me. That I learn from the past. Nevertheless, uncle Chong was abit skeptical about him. Though they are neighbours for quite sometime, I was surprised that uncle Chong didn't really care.

Uncle Chong is another funny character. He likes talking to me and also 'manja-ing' with me. We both speak the same language. He would always find any opportunity to negotiate with me, not that he was not co-operative but he simply wanted my attention, I guess, haha.

I have resumed jogging. I jog whenever I get the opportunity and also depend on the weather. The stamina is getting better. I am looking for some marathon contest. Maybe that would be fun. Until then, take care peeps!
