Welcome to the Real World

I’ve heard a lot about the darker side of humanity, and I was told that I will get to eyewitness by myself after I throw myself into the workaholic world. Well, I guess I was well-prepared, and yet, oops, no no no….. What I seen still made me astonished completely.

Although I was studying engineering course, but yet, I ah…. Accidentally stumble into marketing position, and I thought my job is just…. You know, doing marketing, try to get our product and services penetrate into the market, promote our brand to public, organize conference & exhibition etc etc. But then, from the customer conference that had been held recently, I found out that, oops, it seems that I need to arm myself with more skills to handle my job perfectly. You need to talk cock and bullshitting with customers, you need to laugh and giggle no matter how bad the joke is cracked by others, you need to “cheers cheers cheers” even though you do not know what to cheer for, you need to dirty-dance with your so-called important customer, and ya, you better fond of ciggies and alcohol.


“Hey, Xing Zhi, throw away your orange juice, and come, bottom out your whisky.”


“Erm, sorry, I erm…. I’m allergic to alcohol.”


“What? Allergic to alcohol? C’mon, you don’t smoke, you don’t drink, what are you going to do with your long lifespan?”


“Erm…… in that case, sorry I guess I’m drunk, ya, drank a lot just now, wow, so dizzy now, argh.”


“Haha, cool, you’re drunk, sooner or later you’ll get used to it, once you try more, you will LOVE this kind of life."


Thanks to my….. so-called troubled adolescence where clubbing, ciggies and alcohol are no longer the strange names for me, sorry guys, I know exactly how alcoholic drinks and ciggies taste like, and erm, I know how they’re going to harm our health, and I guess there are some other things which are meaningful to my life, but of course I won’t read a bible in the midst of the beach party, hahaha.


Please, please, I just want to be the person behind the scene, to deliver the project successfully. I neither want to steal the limelight, nor to be an attention-seeker, erm, shall I need an invisible suit to wear on? Haha.
