Chanced upon this poem yesterday from a supposedly poet…
If life were the wind,
you travel to the ocean
If career was the seagull,
you would travel with the wind…
After reading this ‘poem’..I felt an element of china-ness in it…Anyone game enough to write/translate the chinese equivalent…let me know by commenting!
My chinese version…

Just another day..observing the eunuch@works…it kinda surprising to say the very least to see the eunuch hard at work past 2pm…something’s wrong.
Apparently someone had fixed an appointment with him to discuss serious matters for one particular palace under his charter…Yup…it has gone into serious mess..not exactly the eunuch fault…but rather it is a systematic fault…Ever wonder about this statement…over promised..under delivered…this is true for that many palaces under the overlordship of the Huge Palace..
Well, that’s another story for another day…
Now, let us get back to this wonderful eunuch’s encounter…at 1600hrs..he was obviously in a rush.. in fact he appeared rather frantic *laughs*..
then when the lady from Aussie came and discuss at 1620hrs…he started packing in his bag whilst discussing matters of utmost importance…
I was like huh…and 1640hrs…his eunuch mobile rang twice…guess what he did..he switched off the phone…
I wonder if his prc concubine has called and asked why he is still here…I reckon it can’t be his wife or his family for that matter…His nephew…not a chance..he doesn’t even talks! He wants people to read his dense mind…so dense that it does not make sense!
Anyhow, he appeared even more perturbed!
1645 hrs…he brushed the Aussie lady off, took his bag and left office.
1700hrs..The discussion carries on without him. Prove that he is a piece of dunk after all.
On a side note, the eunuch complained today that he had to be under medication for high blood pressure..
For work? I reckon not..not when you leave before 2pm daily..Today, it is ground breaking if not earth shaking!

A eunuch Is usually a guy who has had his balls cut off. in ancient china they would also remove the penis while enabling the drainage of urine through a sort of “straw” . it was usual that the man who castrated these boy held on to the scrotum and the penis, which could be bought back later for a large sum of money, since many people wanted to be buried complete.
#2
In ancient China castration was both a traditional punishment (until the Sui Dynasty) and a means of gaining employment in the Imperial service. At the end of the Ming Dynasty there were 70,000 eunuchs (宦官 huàn’guān, or 太監 tàijiān) in the Imperial palace. The value of such employment—certain eunuchs gained immense power that may have superseded that of the prime ministers—was such that self-castration had to be made illegal. The number of eunuchs in Imperial employ had fallen to 470 in 1912, when their employment ceased. The justification of the employment of eunuchs as high-ranking civil servants was that, since they were incapable of having children, they would not be tempted to seize power and start a dynasty. Concurrently, a similar system existed in Vietnam.
#3
Castration has been for centuries and still is a common agricultural practice. Typically the lower half of the scrotum is removed with a very sharp knife in a single slice. Each testis is then crimped and cut at the spermatic cord with an emasculatome, which reduces bleeding. It’s best done in early adolescence. Any practice that alters the penis risks serious injury to the urinary tract and recurrent infections.

Today, for some admin purposes I had had to make a trip back to the imperial administration headquarters…And boy, did I not make some discoveries…about that darn Eunuch…
1. The eunuch was dismissed aka fired from his previous job because of his often missing in action acts. This has been confirmed by many who are under the payroll of the Huge Palace. Amazing isn’t it? It all starts to make sense…maybe he is home in the afternoon taking care of his kids? I don’t think so. Perhaps and private investigator should be able to shed some light on this…
2. Many officials on Huge Palace actually hate the guts of the Eunuch…I mean if there are one or two..perhaps ok..but the whole team? It is certainly must be the doings of the eunuch that pisses people
3. The eunuch was shielded from alot of political turmoils by the ex boss because the ex boss was a greenhorn and had to depend on the eunuch for solutions, etc. But after working with the eunuch for some time…sad to say, his solutions are a bunch of crap. The latest being the building of a fortress, amongst others… the most lame one being the proposal of installing an exact same system into the palace..and yes of course his chosen vendors…
4. The eunuch has illicit businesses outside as some have told me..this is rather amazing..i am without a clue on this. But if you ask me…the eunuch as a businessman? I think it is like roti prata in a 5 star restaurant, i.e. prata at mezza 9? He is the most emotional person ..and did I mention that his head will turn red when he is upset…Folks…not to worry, he is just a paper tiger…

Even the eunuch’s tolerance has a limit! This was rather obvious when he scolded his imbecile nephew over the status quo of his work assignment. Overdue for 6 months now! If it was me ..I would be minced meat on your bowl of Ba chor Mee.
Imagine building a fortress without any thoughts on provisioning of any water pipes…and the eunuch actually let this mess up go on for months cos his nephew was on the project.
If only, the emperor of the palace knew…he would certainly chop off his dick head…but wait a minute..he doesn’t have a freaking dick!
Back to this interesting nephew…if he is not connected to the Eunuch by any chance…then he must be the greatest smoker of them all… To put it bluntly, if you are an electrical engineer going for a job interview, if he is asked what is relationship between power, voltage and amperes…anyone with electrical knowledge will definitely know.
This is fundamental. But let us just assume that the eunuch needed to hire a chef for his palace, surely he need to ensure that the person hired knows how to cook right?
A soldier knows how to fight
A concubine knows how to please
An official knows how to officiate
A general knows how to lead his troops
An Eunuch….What does he knows?
The nephew is a nice guy but definitely in a wrong place.. I need not say more

Coming out of the imperial meeting session yesterday. I can’t help but ponder what goes thru the eunuch’s mind when he proposed a solution liken …building a fort but leave all food supply outside, because there is just not enough room for soldiers…
Does he know that in any sabotage mission, all the enemies need to do is disrupt the supply route and the fortress would be what we Chinese term as 不攻自破。。。。
I don’t blame the eunuch for such lack of fore sight…he is after all an eunuch…But somewhere in my head tells me that more than meet the eyes…he could be plotting for his contractor to do unnecessary works to mitigate the food supply and water tank situation. Talk about kickbacks! Lack of foresight or intentional lack of foresight…
*PS: I cannot reveal the real situation as it will endanger my already weak position in the Huge Palace..but you get the idea of his mentality.*

The moment priceless…
It was like how a writer describe a moment of great danger….like what if the illicit lovers got caught while making out at the gal’s room…think of the classic scene of Shakespeare’s in love…oh..you get the idea…
Why I am so adamant to get this photo? For personal satisfaction? I don’t think so. I think it is the good of all to get this scumbag exposed.
For my own safety…his pic will not be uploaded herein. Else, I risk being beheaded in the Huge Palace where huge problems are aplenty! From of my faithful reader, kinky..yes, revenge can take ten years…just hold on to patience and watch for the signs…the moment may be sooner than I expect!
To end….a decree from the Huge Palace’s Website…on kickbacks..
No one acting on Huge Palace’s behalf may use bribes, kickbacks or other corrupt practices in conducting Huge Palace business. You are required to comply strictly with all ethical standards and applicable law in every country in which Huge Palace does business.
Kickback usually refers to:
