Welcome Back to the Team!

Dear E

How are you?

"How are you?" was the only question you asked me when I met you. I was told to join the function (right before Chinese New Year) and I was expected to reply before 7 Feb 2011 (right after Chinese New Year).

"How are you?" is an ordinary ice breaking question people mostly say to long time no see people or people they meet for the first time. They don't really mean anything and nobody would expect an answer different from "Fine. Thank you" - the standardized answer according to English grammar as well as etiquette. You didn't even look at me ONCE while you were making your presentation although I was sitting right in front of your podium.

I realized after all I'm an uninvited guest in your life. What can I expect from people when I'm an intruder? Sounds fair enough.

Yes, you TOLD me and you WANT me to get rid of you from my life. I've already given up the idea of having you loving me in return. I just haven't let go.

Welcome back to the Team!


以上是我2月17日清晨因爲心有不甘,越想越氣,涕淚連連而給您發的電郵,早上辦公時間您來電,您說您無法反駁。

提到反駁就是想反駁了吧,您想要反駁甚麽?

我說我從來不喜歡做不速之客,結果我還是做了,世上還又有甚麽比成爲自己所愛眼中的不速之客更好受的嗎?
