Talk about office stuffs
I was surprised to see I got a new monitor when I arrived at the office today. I guess it was part of the renovation we’ll be having by the end of the month. I heard we’re going to have a new furniture and office equipments. It feels good when you’re welcomed by a good stuff early in the morning.
At around past 10am, while everyone was busy with their own screens, I had experienced my first black out at the office. Everyone was caught off guard as this does not happen in Hong Kong. A colleague of mine, already 13 years in Crown, could not recall experiencing power outage during working hours. It was funny some of them pointed Hong Kong could not have been that stable after all. *Why so serious?* 
Anyways, after about 10 minutes of chit chatting and being idle, the power resumed. Everyone was disappointed.
Later that afternoon, another colleague of mine wanted me to try some food she brought back from her recent Taiwan trip. It was called iron egg – a preserved egg which initially looks like a smaller version of the century egg. Iron egg is a bit hard and has a chewy texture. That and the pineapple cake she brought the other day were both famous snacks in Taiwan.
As I left the office, storm signal 1 has already been hoisted. Tomorrow, storm signal 8 is expected in the morning and will probably reach 9 by the afternoon. The expected typhoon (international name Nuri) came from the Philippines which had a local name Karen. The typhoon has left 7 fatalities in the country and caused severe floods. It is expected to hit Hong Kong with the same strength and everyone was advised there is 80% chance that there will be no office tomorrow. It’s going to be a long weekend then.
