Second thoughts

Today i was having lunch alone at T3, right across me was the runway view, two of our aircrafts parked at the aerobridge.

Looking at this scene, thinking back... Do i really want to quit?

Hope he is the only one

Today one overseas colleague said to me: when are you going to get posted out of your dept? You are in a position where alot of people hate you.

Totally ruined my mood on Friday night.

Gentleman

It was a cooling nice drive around the foreign city at night, accompanied with interesting conversations and the night scenes of building, street activities and pearl river.

Afterwards dinner at a local seafood place. Sent me back and said to me "Thanks for the lovely evening"

I won't forget the ride.

High expectations

I realized today that may be the main contributing factor.

FIFA World Cup 2010

In a few hours' time is the finals... Holland vs Spain.

What strikes me this WC which only happens every four years is not the matches, not the young good looking footballers...

Its Paul.

As in Paul the Octopus. He is two years old, very very big in size, born in the deep waters of UK but currently lives in an aquarium in Berlin.

Why is he so outstanding in this 2010 WC? Becos he is psychic. becos all his predictions this WC came true.

And he is so cute...

Tonight i have bet my money on Holland. Although the hot favourite is Spain but i believe the ball is round. You never know what will happen on a football field.

Let's see.

Lonely holidays not

I am beginning to enjoy travelling alone. I must plan a holiday like that, enjoying the freedom and not having to coordinate the travel dates/ destinations with friends.

Whenever i go duty travels for two or three days, i get to be alone probably half or one third of the time. On the plane, during certain meals, in the hotel, travelling on the trains, my free time after work.

Of course there are local colleagues to accompany me but if i get some free time, i would be independent and grap the chance to do some sightseeing or should i put in bluntly, shopping... During such times, i am usually alone and i pretty much like that.

It is fun at times. I used to be afraid of eating, walking alone but i wonder if it is due to my age and especially in foreign land- Now, i am not so concerned about people's stares anymore, if there is any. It is quite normal to see others alone as well. Although it sometimes does feel lonely when you are surrounded by loving couples or groups of friends.

Having said all these, i must still stress that safety is most important. When i am alone overseas, i am on high alert all the time. Avoid quiet places and always go with the crowd. This ensures fun and safety goes hand in hand.

And i never try to venture out if i am not confident of the safety aspects of the particular city i am in! Just walk around the hotel vicinity or stay in the hotel room and watch whatever boring tv programs there is.

Back from KIX

I can only say kids these days are fortunate.

In business class today, there are a total of four kids travelling with their parents who looked like Indonesians. Their mothers are carrying chanel and BV while the little girl plays with ipad.

Imagine that! And i am guessing all of them are definitely not over eight years old.

Amazing! But then again, if the parents are travelling business class, they cant expect their kids to be alone in economy class right?

Or maybe the company pays for it? I dont know.
