Back from Siam

I am back. Long time never join tour package, always travel free and easy. So forgot that morning call is very early. But i never imagine i have to wake up at 5 or 5.30am every morning. HELLO! I am here to relax and enjoy the massage. Why am i torturing myself to lose some much sleep?

Should have gone for spa.. no time!! Keep visiting those stupid shops where tour guide bring you so they can earn commission. And its 4 or 5 such shops in a day!

Anyway had thai massages for 3 continuous day. Happy!

Photos for 6Km







Here there are.

Chiangmai

Going to Chiangmai this Fri for 4 days. Looking forward to the thai food, massages and some shopping.

Wont be taking alot of photos as there should be nothing much there. But will still bring new camera along. Have not officially used it yet. So here it is for this trip.

On Course

Hello. Finally finished my 3 days course. Initially dread going as not familar with anyone in the course. But managed to find some nice people to eat morning tea break/ lunch/ afternoon tea break/dinner. This course really feed us well. 8-course served lunch and buffet dinner provided. Plus tea/coffee & some snacks for 2 breaks a day.

But i have to say the course is really technical. Not related to my job hence i have a hard time understanding the instructor.

Anyway finally its over but i have 2 more courses coming up in June and July due to the 6 sigma project i am involved in.

Plus the computer system upgrade testing that i have to co-ordinate and perform too. Busyy!!

At the end of 3 day course, went for business meeting at night where our PSB was announced. Quite happy with it but must save part of it up.

Have not posted my 6km run photos yet. Will do so soon.

14%!!

Regina treated myself and Huiping to dinner at Hotel Asia last sunday.

We were enjoying the dinner and my sharks fin soup. And i was telling them abt how i am going to train myself to drink, drink as in drink liquor. So Huiping suggested ordering a bottle of promotional white wine from South Africa. In the end, 3 of us each had a glass filled with wine in front of us.

Initially i was handling it quite well. But after a few more monthfuls as well as some cheering and bottoming up, i started to feel "not myself". Head felt abit heavy, eyes watery. And felt warm.

I think both of them knew that i had too much already, hee although it was seriously less than 1 glass. Anyway later we checked the bottle and found the alcohol level to be 14%. Abt 100% more than the usual Australia wines of 7%-10%.

So i guess thats what they say abt being "high". Cant help but keep smiling and feel happy. Also cheeks flushed alot. They said very pretty, like natural blusher.

But i am still sober, just felt good. And i can still manage to take the train and walk home cos felt better once i am outside the restaurant, in open air.

Regina also asked me to flush out the alcohol with alot of water. Which really helps. And next morning, no hangovers. Work as usual.

So can i say i am improving?

Achievement

Yesterday boss asked me into the room. After i sat down, he handed me an envelope. At first i thought it was retrenchment or warning letter. Then he "siow mi mi" and say its my merit increment. He put in the recommendation for my appraisal this year. And he said it will be an increase in my monthly pay.

Initially i thought it was at least few hundred dollars. After i went out of the room and tear open the envelope, found out less than that. Ah yo.

But i guess its the recognition of hard work and performance that really matter.

Opps and i suddenly realised i forgot to thank him for putting in the recommendation for me. Maybe i should do so on Monday?

2 more hours later going for the 6KM walk. Hope we will have fun.

Conquered a glass of red wine

Had dinner with Auntie Chatree and friends at Paramount Tong Le restaurant. Wanted to try drinking abit of wine since few weeks ago. So i asked for a glass which is unusual of me.

Initially took sip by sip. But find it quite "siap". And half way thru, i started to have the usual feeling of dizziness. Thought maybe i should stop. So changed to Chinese tea. Then after a while, switched back to wine. Not sure if due to the chinese tea but the dizziness went off. And i could actually finished one glass of red wine and still feel ok. Ok as in not drunk or feel bad.

So actually i am not as bad as i thought. I used to think i could not touch liqour at all. But still i always think it is good that ladies could drink abit.

So i shall start to train myself. I also found out a tip- before swallowing the wine down, you should leave it in the mouth for a while as i find that it actually taste better. Maybe becos of the higher temperature that changed the taste.

Anyway its good that i start training cos my family like to have some wine when there is any celebrations.
