28/10/2008 - All this work, and no play...

Im surprised I have not mentioned this before actually....
As we know everyone here in Hk / China works ridiculous hours, in fact when I tell them that in the Uk you would be hard pushed to find an office worker willing to stay on beyond 5pm (esp on a Friday lol) they give me an incredulous look of disbelief. It therefore does not really surprise me, yet I still find it surreal, to be constantly seeing people asleep in the oddest public places, its like they sit down for 2minutes and their body automatically shuts down, screaming out for some time to rest.
There is a few wee car garages nearby where we live, and there is a guy who sits outside and sews car seat covers, and he is there when I go to work at 8am, and there when Im getting in at 8pm... sewing sewing sewing!! Its also not unusual to see small kids accompanying their parents past 10pm in restaurants, so its no small wonder people are constantly catching zzzz's where they can. I too have fallen victim to this on the train to work, or in the shuttle bus down from SZ. If Im lucky then the back seat is unoccupied (we have a 7seater van type affair) and I can rinse out business class styley lol.
Which, anyway leads me on to the main point of this entry which is to inform you all that my LIFE IS OFFICIALLY OVER... a tad dramatic I hear you mutter under your breath.. but just you wait to hear why. This very morning as I was getting ready, I spotted something, squinted to make sure my eyes had not deceived me, and then freaked out majorly to discover I had just developed my very first (and might I add at the tender age of only 25)... GREY HAIR !!!!!!
You see what Hk is doing to me?! It prematurely ageing me, its a disgrace, an outrage, an utter abomination! I will have to resigned to using Just for Men for the rest of my living days, this development is entirely NOT COOL!
Ps: Have not taken a picture of this as I refuse to acknowledge it as an event that has actually happened, rather a bad dream! The offensive hair has been banished from my scalp and I am hoping not to discover another until retirement age!
