To make a decision, a difficult one

My boss is resigning. And that resulted in a consequence that required me to make a decision. Even though i appreciate his kindness but it's seriously not easy for me.

BKK August 2011

I am looking forward to the massages... spa etc

I terribly need a break from work.. Zzzzz even for 4 days.

Wa honored

I met a colleague I previously worked with many years ago today.

He is now promoted to senior manager. Ha he still remember my name! Amazing when I am super low profile.

SIN-KUL-SIN

In half a day... just to purchase an item at the airport and to accumulate double reward points.

The itinerary is such-
SIN-KUL Departing 7.10am Arriving 8.10am
KUL-SIN Departing 11.30am Arriving 12.35pm (same day)

I can't believe i went to that extent... Amazing!

Post note: I didn't managed to perform this crazy act cos the watch i ordered has not arrived yet. Saved me the agony.

Promotion

Good news good news!! Except it came slightly later and just after my Houston duty travel.

I have waited quite a while for it. Two and a half years to be exact. I am glad my efforts are being recognised. I would also have to thank my boss (even though sometimes he is hysterical) for guidance and also my support officer who will always look out for my work.

I must also go to Si ma lu temple to express thanks and gratefulness- the divination is fulfilled.

HOU Jun 2011

It was an eventful trip, one of the most among my duty travels.

Firstly, i had issues with the eticket and eventually had a make an additional trip to the airport to have the colleagues there issued.

Thereafter, HOU which had not rained for 4 months starting having downpours. But to the locals, it is actually a relief.

Then, the local manager while driving to another destination to view offices sratched another car. It was a new car apparently bought this year. Luckily no one got hurt but some time was wasted on that.

Lastly, when i was happily ready to take the flight home, i was told that there was a small crack on the aircraft- co-pilot window screen. Initially the delay was till midnight but later my colleague informed that the parts will come from Atlanta and couldnt arrive on time. So the departure will be the next day at noon.

Arggg but that time i was already stuck at the airport office and couldnt go anywhere.. Hotels were also fully booked becos of a soccer match in Houston. They had a hard time looking for hotels to accomodate the 160+ passengers. Others were put on Continental, Qatar flights as they have connecting flights to catch.

As for me, the local manager and his wife put me up for the night. I even had dinner at the house. They were hospitable and made me feel at home. But i would really prefer to be at a hotel, more at ease.

So from the above incidents, it was truly an experience. I hope the project forward would be smooth.

What a way to have my eticket issued!

I sent in my request for travel long ago but both took their time and sit on it until the very last day.

Panic then spreaded to those involved, including the secretaries. Did not managed to have it approved by the big boss before 5pm today (fri which is last day of the week before i fly off on mon early morning 2am). No way to issue the eticket before i leave the office and i already made plans to postpone the trip.

Eventually was informed that big boss approved the travel at 5.40pm and i had to rush to the airport to have the eticket issued.

Why make things so complicated?
