:discouragement::

you are counting down to friday, the last day of your assignment in london. your replacement is slowly picking up. it's sort of less of you and more of him, he has to show that he is in charge before you go away.

you're a little discouraged this evening. you have spent so much time, late nights to complete the detailed plan. it's complex you know and everybody admit the complexity as you have to take into consideration of the resource allocation, their holidays, the olympics, the geographical time zone and the fact that you have two deadline to work around the daily activities.  

you called it a day after the meeting. you want to do a good job and the outcome of the meeting is not what you expected. 

you took a long walk to the malaysian restaurant, it's good to walk off the heavy spirit in you and you ordered a bowl of nyonya laksa and a plate of belacan fried chicken.

you wanted to have a sambal brinjal but the waitress disagreed and refused to take your order for that :(. so you do with just the laksa and the chicken, they are enough and anything more will be too much, she has got the point there.

on your way home, you walk into a supermarket and grab some baking ingredients that you know you cannot find easily in the lowland.

you feel a tad better after the dinner and the walk, now you are back to your computer again. hopefully you can get something done tonight as you will never have the time to sort that out in the morning.
