working in a bikini

Just taking a mini break here at work. It's been ridiculously hot in HK the past few days. Apparently thundershowers will roll in in the middle of the week to break up the intense heat. Thank goodness. In the meantime, i'm working in an open area with no a/c in 44 degrees Celcius, and being on the computer doesn't help either. But i suppose after 40 degrees it doesn't really matter. This heat can't be good for the machines either, can it?

However, as the old saying goes: Be grateful for the good things in life. And i am. I get a stunning view of Pui O Beach from my computer (see pic) and just a few metres away is the ocean. Katy (Corporate Communicator for Treasure Island) and i have just returned from a quick dip to cool off. We even had mini schools of fish leaping in the air around us as we lounged in the water, which incidentally enough felt like a jacuzzi. Instead of coffee breaks, we take swim breaks. Even as my sweat pours over the keyboard, i have to say it really doesn't get much better.

Ok, time to be productive again before the next break.
