On Leave for Vacation or for Work??

I have applied 2-day leave so I can go for vacation to relax since there is no event in May. I am not in KL today.. Laptop is not with me as this is a personal trip, I am not suppose to check my emails or work.. That means relax.. However, there are a numbers of incoming calls from office and business associates who is expecting me to work durng my leave..

My boss not even call me when he noticed I am on leave.. Why can't everyone respect my precious holidays. This is so precious to me.. Finally came out with press releases need to be translated urgently.. Hey everyone, I have placed into the calendar and sent to everyone that I will be on leave.. Can't you all plan ahead to assign tasks to me?

I have no choice, after much consideration, I bought a ticket and rush back to KL to check my emails and assign tasks to my colleagues accordingly. Should I celebrate my leave with my piling up emails and the translated tasks? No option, life still going on..

Just like yesterday night, boss SMS-ed me to notify me that our business associate, Mr. Chan has passed away. I was so shock because he has recovered from his cancer last year. He is so friendly and smart in running business, he has so many plans in his mind, he wanted to do so much, but still have to leave the lovely world. Life always no options.
