Air
The air in Central is terrible right now- 9 on the AQHI scale. The ubiquitous white fog reminds me of when my contacts become too dry and everything becomes blurry and faded. On lunch breaks, I used to eat outside and walk up the Soho escalators, listening to music as a sort of calming exercise before I head back. Now that I'm aware (mostly paranoid) of the detrimental health effects of air pollution, I fear even being outside for more than 5 minutes to get lunch during peak hours.
Ovens
I've been on a baking escapade with my sous chef/partner-in-crime Yolanda, while I've been staying at her home. It helps to fill the void of baking and cooking back at home- at least for a little while. I still don't think I'll ever get used to oven temperatures set in Celsius- such a nuisance having to look up conversions...
Personality
My friend sent me this list that describes my personality in a nutshell- a nail on the head on channeling the thoughts of an ambivert. Reading this made me feel better that there are other bipolar hermits such as myself, haha...point 11 essentially sums up my how I make my life decisions.
Work
Three new interns entered the ring of fire this month- all in my department. I feel a little hostile as I've been the only intern in CorpFin for 2 months, and these new guys ARE GONNA SHOW ME UP– just kidding, I'm just feeling territorial. I've eaten and socialized with two so far, but have yet to introduce myself to the newest guy. They all seem nice, but who knows....who knows...
Ma Wan
Last week I ventured off to Ma Wan to celebrate my Aunt's birthday along with her family and friends. I ended up meeting some uncles and aunts I never knew I had (seriously, my grandmother (dad's side) had 7 siblings....who knew?) and a 14-year old awkward cousin named Ryan.
Air (Update)
There has been some thunder in the area (3 pm), and hopefully some rain will come down on us to sanctify our air pollution sins. Also, my view has turned into this foreboding yellow-y haze. Not very conducive to keeping me awake during prime siesta time (3-4 pm, everyday).
