in sickness and in health...

some virus has been going around eh? i can't seem to get well, fully. and every other person i know seems to be sick. either some cough, some this sitis, some that sitis, some sick of their partners, sick of my mp3 collection.
what we need is a doc in here right now! whats up doc?
if i cannot do what i really want to, it is really painful. if i cannot do it because i am forced to, i actually feel better than if i chose to do it.
it is difficult communicating with people who prefer to speak their language, rather than trying to speak yours. and i do mean it literally, when people expect me to be really good with my chinese and i tell them i can't even read it. and because they can only communicate with that, i have no choice but to try to understand all that is being said.
but irritates the hell out of me, because why do these people get away with using the language that they are good at? i mean, just because i can speak chinese doesn't mean i want to. it is just a language of convenience for me. spare me the proverbs and flowery speech please! i know chinese is an ancient language with rich 8888 year old history, but with all due respect, please! not everyone chinese looking guy is good with chinese.
ya i do watch channel 8 and U. and i understand 70% of what's going on. but really, most of the time i'd rather be watching Lost Season II for the 8th time. Or Heroes I for the 11th time. Or Suzanne Jung on ChannelNewsAsia. i like to be in my comfort zone yeah. so come over will ya? step out a little from your comfort zone, and speak my language. i watched channel 8 so that i have something to talk about with you people. how about watching CNA and talking to me about the hot new reporters they recently hired?
and buddy, some people do the job well, and some others get by. but when it comes to the real thing, ie not a job, getting by isn't good enough. so if resignation is not an option, maybe its time you give the axe. remember, you're the boss of yourself. being good to you is different from giving you what you want.
