Friends and neighbours took to streets in protest

Famiy members, friends and neighbours took to the streets in protest of Loong's attitude towards work.

Jesse Ngui, the only son of Loong, has repeatedly protested Loong's long hours of work outside the house AND inside the house. "I don't want you to go to the apartment, I don't care." Jesse was referring to the apartment the company rented to house some of Loong's colleagues.

Grace, Loong's faithful prayer partner thinks Loong is ALWAYS b c (SMS lingo for busy.) Work, church, family. Loong seems to be always working on something. Her constant prayer support has helped Loong through some tight spots.

SH, a "dry" sister thinks Loong is simply too serious in work and other things. She thinks Loong doesn't have to be so serious in everything. It remains to be seen if SH will influence Loong or the other way around.

H, the GM of Loong recognizes that Loong has inadvatently taken on more that his job requires of him. "He is now taking on the role of another colleague. Once she is back from maternity (which is about 10 months away), this responsibility can be given back to her." Loong has requested to take leave from his work so he can spend time helping his team mates.

Incidentally, Mrs. Ngui has not made any comments on this issue. She is also not seen among the protesters.

"I admit I am a busybody. That's my nature. I cannot rest until I am sure I have given all the help I could to the people around me . And even then, I will still worry and think about them," said a nonchalant Loong.

Loong cancelled his leave when he was moving house to do work. He is gradually turning into the workoholic he didn't expect himself to be.

We will give you more update on this situation when new information is made available.

Hey! It doesn't mean if Mrs Ngui never protested,then Loong is not a workoholic.What we fear is that she too is one that she cannot notice that in him,ha!Hope not...

Anyway,it seems the team in the apartment will not be long there but just for a month,and some weeks have already passed by....what's left?Might as well make full use of the time left.Afterall,it's good to make hay while the sun shines!Moreover,it's for the good of the company and everyone in it.Fair?

因此,希望[阿隆大哥 ]从今以后不好再作个workoholic 哦!在圣经上,神创造了天地,在第七天,也要休息。更何况人呢!!
