3am, cwb

Have started my new job for more than a month. I think I am getting used to the new environment, which is not necessarily a positive sign, as I tend to push myself to perform better and deliver more under the stress of being new. Weird? Anyway I have to control myself before things go wrong. And still I feel fortunate that I had made the move quitting my old job. No hard feelings toward my ex-employer but at least I am kind of refreshed every day now at work. I need to get to know new people and experience a different culture. Not that it is definitely better but I just wish to see something new, something different. I need inspiration.

After a wedding banquet (third in a month), I ended up in a cafe getting together with 3 old buddies. Was supposed to be a celebration for D passing his medical exams but he had already gone when I got there. Yet a 2nd-floor cafe, quite a great one, hassle-free. A dream come true for the cafe-owner ladies, I suppose.

Then the cafe closed at about 2am and we went to a McDonalds nearby. Haha a McD but not a bar or something, we are grown-ups now, got to save money for families I think. I have known these guys for 12 years, we had been with each other through our teen ages and I don't think anything would hurt our friendship for the rest of our lives. There we were, with a think layer of fats encircling our waist, munching fries and talking about marriage, buying an apartment, that kind of things.

On our way back home its was already 3am, and Causeway Bay was finally not that bustling after all. Once in a while when I hang out with these guys I recall the happy moments though they were longer and longer ago. I couldn't help wearing a smile on my face.
