The sugar marketing department had an offsite today. We literally
talked from 10am to 4pm. I meant to take a picture of our group
working hard, but I was so wrapped up in the discussion that I forgot.
So instead of a fun group marketing photo, I'm going to show you the
mogwai face. Mogwai means monster in chinese (fyi the mandarin
pronounciation is moe-gway and not mog-why like gremlins which I think
is the Cantonese way) and this is the face my mom would make whenever
she would talk about monsters.
The time that stands out the most is when I was about three years old.
It was stormy and the power was out. My mom and I were home in the dark with only
these weird blue glass globe candles. My dad was away at work (he'd been gone for
a few days) and it was definitely night time. I remember we were
sitting in the living room and I was coloring at the living room table
by candlelight. My mom left to use the bathroom and a few minutes
later she came back like this. She was moaning and said
saaahhhbreeennnaahhh I ate your mom.
Needless to say, my three year old self flipped the fuck out.
