Going Beijing to see snow (22-Nov-2016)

Was told to go Shanghai to do go-live support for the fucking 'FEI' project. Doesn't find myself helpful there. The botak boss is there to show off his power. In front of the vendor boss, scold the staff who make provide wrong statistic report.

Anyway, Beijing was snowing on 21 November and I asked if he wish to join me to go Beijing to see snow. He rejected, saying he is not prepared. Me too! I only have a wind breaker jacket, one pair of slipper and socks. With that, I set off to see snow

First time I see snow and icy floor is slippery. Have a heavy fall at the entrance of the old palace.

It was light snow but ended up snow storm after 3pm. Train can move and my 4pm train was delayed till 9pm. Only managed to get back to Shanghai hotel at 7:45am. Take a shower and go to work.... but ended up scolded by the fucking boss, who blame me for making him worry.

2nd Attempt of Rinjani (28 Jul to 1 Aug).... Failure

Went with Hong Kong team mate (Osh & Liza) and guide (Calvin). Only Osh and Cavin made it to the summit. I gave up before even reaching the mid of summit.

To walk up endless of high steps, I was already breathless. To keep myself warm, I was burdened with weights of attire. To walk against the current of strong wind, I was pushing myself very hard forward. All determination and motivation gone.

I told myself "Sun is already up, what other view are you expecting up there?", "Is there a need to push yourself so hard?", "Is it important to reach the summit?" ?????? I turned around and tell the guide, I can't make it. Then I descended.

I regretted for not pushing myself up when Liz introduce us to her mother. Entering to her high class  hotel irritate me especially. 

MM Lee is my pride.... But am I a pride to him?
