Im so looking forward to next week! It seems my boss gave me a short
holiday without making it too obvious to the rest... She said 6 days
when in fact im only needed for 3 days. So then due to logistic, I will
be there from wednesday to sunday, 5 days.

And this time with a great colleague, senior, and friend, someone whom I
always look up to for his patience, tolerance, humilty and his coping of
stress. Kenneth. You have really gained all my respect. Thanks for
sharing with me, all your experiences, frustrations and funny
jokes/remarks. You're such a great man! Your wife and kids are really
blessed.

We'll be in beijing wednesday afternoon. I had wanted to go to the great
wall. After some research, I figured I might faint in the unforgiving
heat, so that's cancelled. I had to go somewhere! Xi an was chosen. 500
bucks for morning flight to xian for its teracotta warriors, tombs,
wall, scenery and then the night flight back to beijing. There were 11
hr train ride options. But that is just... Crazy, since it takes time of
the actual visits for travel. The great part, got a free night at
marriot and so im techincally not paying for everything else. 500 for 5
days holiday in china.. Wheee!

The return flight is 4 pm, I can see myself sleeping in til 9, head to
the mall or olympics mall for breakfast and shopping. Slowly return to
hotel for checkout and get to the airport. :)

Sounds like a really great week doesn't it? But, before that, 1 day of
torture and verbal abuse from loud mouthed boss. I hope he doesn't know
im disappearing wednesday onwards!
