Job thrills

I just got home and am blogging on my bed. 3 Nights since I slept at home and im totally bushed. Europe's jetlag shouldn't be so bad! Singapore just experienced the 7.3 earthquake....'s tremor. It left 200 designers who stayed late in the office building stranded on beach road. Any sudden movements now will force out the puke within me.

Switzerland took my breath away. We lived the life of the rich and famous at hotels that charged 1000 a night for a standard room. Every meal was fine dining, and costs 100 per pax. Visited 9 hotels and 4 were 'Leading Hotels of the World'. I had all the hotel staff remember my name and I even had a rose upon arrival! Hotels so high class I could never afford. They even lend laptops to guests. A chauffer with a maserati was provided by the hotel for visitors to the bar who had too much to drink. I liked how pets were allowed. It felt like home.

Work has never been so fun, and tiring. Flew 26 hours and rode 700km to zurich, interlaken, grindalwald, gstaad, sorennberg.

I constantly recognise God's blessings He has bestowed on me through HBA. I had been given chances to work with top designers and my bosses acknowledge me. Travelling with colleagues is always fun because you finally make friends. the guy whom I used to think of as, "cute, obnoxious, dictative, ruthless, experienced designer" can get tired, laughs tears, care, considers my views, makes mistakes, play, sleep, complain like a kid, and is still the cutest guy in the office. Hah! Next stop... China, In 7 days.
