A few more hours later, I would have to get ready and get to the airport. I'll be leaving for Hong Kong on the 10am flight. Will be back on Mon. This was a last min arrangement for work.... Due to some rather unfortunate incident, I'll be replacing one of my colleague on the trip.

I only knew I'll be going on Mon so these few days is really rushing like hell to finish up all the accumulated work. Been leaving office at like 9plus every day. Being so tired everything, I din really get into the mood of being excited about the HK trip till today. Yes! I'm getting excited. Afterall it's my first time to HK and my first overseas business trip.

What's more interesting is that I'll be travelling there alone, as in taking plane alone. Cause mine is a last min arrangement, they couldn't get tickets for me to travel with my other 3 colleagues. Hehe! Who knows I who I'll meet on plane. You know like how movies always show. Lolx!

Hope to be able to shop there and not just work! Cheers~ =)

My Strategic Planning Session

Last week and this week was crazy . Emails and calls are like non-stop. Workload piling up like mad. Haiz..... I miss Cheryl! haha!

I wasn't looking forward to my company's retreat last weekend, but surprisingly, it was good fun. Other than the fact that I have to wake up early everyday, I pretty much enjoyed the whole retreat.

Jas was very nice. He took a half day leave to send me to the ferry terminal. The ferry was at 9am. So I had to wake up like 6.30am. Von missed the ferry and had to take the later one.

First day was jus a lot of talk from the bosses.... presenting their 3yr plan for the company etc. The presentation was very clear and everyone got to know where we are all headed for and where all of us stand. There sessions was light hearted except for a bit of drama here and there. hahaha! The best part is the role play part. That was super hilarious man. Even my GM and bosses joined in and acted crazy. Lolx!

We all stayed in Villas, either one-bedroom or two-bedroom ones. There are a few which is like on top of the sea and it has a fantastic view..... Especially the sunset view. Nice!

I stayed at the one behind the sea view ones. But it is a double storey kind. More spacious and more luxury. View is ok lah.... Blocked a bit but still can see the sea a bit....

2nd Day was shopping day! To my surprise, there are clothes to be bought at Batam leh. It was cheap. Everyone was quite spontaneous and we all were able to joke, poke fun and gossip. Everynight, me and Lyn will be doing a recap of all the gossips before we went to bed. haha! So we had lots to share with Ling and Nat after we came back. Oh... we even had a karaoke session there. It's like back to the 80s and 90s cause the songs they have are so outdated! The MTV's aren't even original. Singing halfway and you can see this stupid bikini clad woman jumping around and we would all burst out laughing. But then again, it makes the whole thing more fun. Lolx!

I think Alvin was trying to act something from the KTV.... But I can't remember what is it. He's a funny guy.

More pictures.....

The comfy room I shared with Lyn

The Den where I enjoyed lazing in at night watching TV

Acting cute to the nice sceneryAnd then..... again..... Haha!

Lynn and Me at the Balcony of our Room. She's so adorable
One of my favorite technician... responsible Papa Mawi
Last of all, the 3 Musketeers
There are supposedly more photos in Lyn's camera. Haven got the time to upload tat yet.... Anyway... Tat's all folks!

This is an old news actually but I kept forgetting to blog about it. Oh well... that irritating guy in my dept has resigned and next Thurs will officially be his last day at work. Apparently it seems that he has got a better offer somewhere else.... one of his clients.... Like tat no point keeping him back. Haha! Not that I want of course. =p

So now my dept is on the hunt of looking for someone new. Anyone interested?

Somehow recently, workload seems to have slowed down slightly. Not so much pressure. However with Dan no long handling enquiries and Cheryl away, I got more enquries lah. But that's not too difficult. It's just like going thru same procedure everyday lor. Easy peasy... Just tat some clients can really be a bit troublesome. There is this horrible woman who calls my hp like 10 times a day for her event. Scary leh!

I'm going Batam for a company retreat... oops... should be "Strategic Planning Session" (dunno wtf the management wants this name for. Siao!) this Friday. Leaving on a early morning ferry and won't be back till Sunday afternoon. Sianz... Not looking forward to the trip leh. It would hv been much better if Cheryl would be going. Got kaki mah! Hehe! But ok la, at least now I still got Lyn. =)

I wish I could be on the Genting trip instead rite Jac.... Haiz.....

Greetings from Japan

此时此刻，樱花树下，就是永恒

Those were the words that accompany the picture that dear Cheryl send yesterday. See already ah really feel "Nabei". While she is enjoying in the Land of the Rising Sun, the few of us are pathetically working in the Land of the Blazing Sun aka Singapore. Hahaha!

But we were all happy to receive the picture and to know she's having fun there. She has been looking forward to the trip. A well deserved break for her!

I like the pic. Can really feel her joy and happiness. Amazing.... how much feelings a simple picture can convey.

Good job Cheryl!

He made my day

I was about to go to bed.... Took a look at my hp and realise that it's 3rd April. It's his bday. Hesitatingly, I keyed in, "Happy Birthday..." and pressed the "send" button. I thought to myself. He won't reply, jus like always....

A couple of mins later, I heard the sms tone of my hp. My heart skipped a beat.... I wasn't expecting a reply?! It was a simple reply, "Thanx!" Really jus a simple reply I think out of courtesy. Yet..... It is a reply. He did reply! I know this sounds so silly and awkard but I'm really happy. So happy and relief that I cried. This probably meant tat there is the ever possibility that we might be on talking terms again. I was rather skeptical. I thought, "Maybe he din know it was from me cause he had erase my number from his hp. But out of courtesy, got pple sms him to wish him so he gotta reply lor...." Dunno if this is true but I rather think positively....

I was so glad and I sms Sam to tell him about it. Something he replied made me cry harder....

Me: I sms "him" to wish him happy birthday. He actually did reply to say thanks. Finally he has some response.
Sam: haha. silly u... Ok lar at least still friends mah
Me: I din expect him to reply
Sam:Ok lar make ur day le lor... silly gal
Me: I'm just glad.... After a long while.... Good to know I haven't lost a friend
Sam: You never lost anyone sis. Only we seldom hang out mah

That sentence, "You never lost anyone sis" makes me feel so comforted..... Slightly touched... Ok lar... quite touched. =)

I is very 重感情 one.... Never like the feeling of losing a friend or any misunderstanding. Morever friends whom I have known for years and years. Friends who really meant something in my heart. I dunno how long it will take before we can be back to being friends but I hope it does happen one day.... He is someone whom I dun want to have any regrets about.

I dunno since when I stopped using his name in my blog.... I just din wan to. Maybe, one day.... I'll be able to post up some happy stuff with his name spelt out... Just maybe...

This week passed extremely fast. Probably cause there's simply too much work to think about the time.

Was looking forwad to Sat cause Angela had planned to give us a treat.... Food... I love food! Hehe! I is greedy, I know. =p We went to eat at Carousel at Royal Park Hotel (can't remember wat is the exact name lah... The one besided DFS Galleria lor). The selection there is a lot ah. I had lots of oyster cause it's so fresh. Dun have the funny taste at all. But the best part is the desserts..... WAH! A lot ah and super nice... I like I like....

After the fulfilling and satisfying dinner, we went on to what a few of us like best... KTV!!!!!! Lolx! Recently got lots of new song. So must sing sing sing. Hehe! I like it when there's a whole group of people going. Sometimes it's nt the singing tat is so fun. It's the hearing people sing and all will sing along tat's fun. Like when Meow and Eug sing those 信乐团 songs, super good ah. Lolx!

Long time no have one group go out have fun le.... It's really nice to see all smiling. =) Oh... and not to forget... Photos before I end off... Hehe!

I was calling Jas to wake him up. Gotta call many many times before he will wake up de... So I got bored and started cam-whoring. Lolx!

And of course, 2 of my fav person, Jas and Jac. While others sing, we take pictures!

When go ktv again.... I wan I wan..... Lolx!
