I welcome Year of Tiger 2010 with open arms, and with a lot of tasks and expectations i wanna make sure i do it and complete.
Nothing changed from my 2010 New Year Resolutions, I need more time! And i want to nuture all my friendships, family and career at the same time!
Aint i greedy!!
Yesterday at ButterFac, another couple was formed. A sweet couple . I really get to know them only since May/June 2009 .
Friendships are magical. Even though i just know them for less than a year, the interaction and the communication are so intense i feel like i know them for a very long time and can always feel connected with them.
So when these 2 friends are now more than friends, the level of connection just become more complex!
Well all the best , and hope the love blossoms for many many many years to come.
Like what J said , on this day , i did not lose a brother, i gained another sister!
I left the hotel 6 hours in advance to avoid the traffic on the motorways “expressways in british terms” hoping to check in to the airport and then do my work @ the lounge. Only to end up having to wait because check in time is 3 hours prior to departure
Actually I love the airport. The most interesting part of the business travel is when you are at the airport waiting for your flight. And you looked at all the people commuting in the terminal. Business travelers, families, couples . You stayed in the lounge, and do your stuff, you see people do their stuff. People rushing , people taking their time to do duty free shopping.
Everyone doing their own stuff while taking note of their flight departure time. I love it.
Luckily i still have my internet and laptop with me. =)

Maybe i should study my PMP ?

I was at Basingstoke , UK for the last 10 days for business trip. I need to pick up my new role from existing support which is being provided by counterparts in Europe.
A380
My first time experience with A380. Huge plane, double deck. And i was lucky that the flight to Heathrow was relatively empty. And that allows me to occupy the seats on that row ! There isnt any good movies to watch on the plane. That is sad. But luckily I have my ipod and my own videos with me.
*saw this long limo truck on the road *
London
I spend the weekend at Bicester Village and London. The rail system are as effective as those in Switzerland and I have no problem figuring or adventuring the streets of England on my own. Bicester is a outlet village and some of the shops are selling things REAL cheap. No point getting US brands like Polo , CK here since it is expensive. Abercrombie has a store in Central London and the polo tees costs 60 pounds!!! ( US is selling for 60 USD and i already find it CRAZY )
*London Eye
And I love Convent Garden. There are many interesting things to see and explore especially during the weekend. Just like the one below…
Basingstoke office
Office is beautiful. I love glass buildings. But it is kind of sad the buidling are virtually empty. It used to be busy. ( thats what i learnt, you dont say crowded, you say “busy” ). But the retrenchments in 2009 reduced the workforce in the site to about 70 people.

Food
* Fish and Chips, England signature dish
I still prefer Asian Food. Singaporean food to be exact. English food is not for me. Amazingly, I have yet to try the Macdonald here.
Overall a fruitful trip. Jill and Mike has been very helpful. More work for me when i go back. And I am ready to take the challenges ahead.
