2 more weeks and it will be the Olympics in Beijing. But I don’t feel anything about it. I can’t care any less.
I’m getting more and more sluggish at work. Need to pull myself to complete the June accounts asap.
A distant auntie wants to introduce me to a girl in Shanghai because an uncle apparently [...]

That’s my main question right now. Forget the income tax seminar (that I didn’t attend because I got sick), never mind the list of duties that the Chinese accountant just gave me (it looks like I will have to setup and take care of the whole thing). All in my mind is the question: Wii [...]
