Is this how this year is going to be? Started off the year presentations after one, with assistants but boss is gonna load me with tons more. She already told me so. Well, after travelling with her, I came to know the funny, childish and less frustrated face. ;) it was nice spending 2 days The 2 revered bosses. As always biz trips with colleagues always brought a while new perspective. Although I was quite pissed off by the things the colleague says sometimes. It was a good experience learning from the bosses , participating, tAking the lead, step up for spontaneous presenting etc. Weather at shanghai and Qingdao was about 8 and 4. Had the opportunity to go for maasages, take a nice long walk down the shore and the music stadium walk. Bought a few things, loved my new leather shoes. Im glad i didnt apend money on much this round! I was told I spent 2900 on mobile on roaming data?!!! This singtel is crazy. I stopped using it when they called to say I incurred 700. It was all work that 2 days. Stupid dumbo people! I won't pay that money man!!! I was really cold with charred lips and blister feet, and nose bleeds and though my clothes were packed in under 15mins, 6 hours before the flight, I was well insulated. It is such an amazing experience. The shanghai airport actually feels quite peaceful with abundance of seats. Feeling a little cold since my coat is checked in. I wonder how horrible the bus journey from gate to plane will be. *Sneeze*

It's was good to see my clients and the project team. The hotel had 4 blocks and the staff always knew who we were and where we are. This hotel is an amazing bunch! The bosses are nice, staff are helpful an professional. I could book an air ticket while I was having breakfat in the hall?! It's funny how we made the hotel staff run around and bring chaos to the (hotel's tagline)"peace of a family" Yet they were always smiling, greeting, serving food, drinks, fruits and hot towels. Very amazing service standards. the laundry room! It was prim proper clean neat and you just couldn't find dirt anywhere in the hotel!

I'm Soo tired, and all I think about now is the crazy phone bill. Second bring home thought- Feeling sorry I had to cancel my skydiving trip. Guess Gid is really telling me not to go through Doc Herman, Connie and work. He called to say my condition has gotten worse. I really don't know! Sigh... I'm glad I made the choice not to go. The third thing on my mind. Thank God for surrounding me with great people at fun, play and work. Thank Him for the special ability to make friends! The cute and friendly architect just made my trip even more awesome! You know he stuck to me all through the meeting and helped me with mandarin. He introduced every dish to me at the table. He was probably the only one who rmembered my English name from the meeting last year! ;) he is totaly my type, dependable, kind, cultured, warm, serious yet friendly. He stuck with me and helped me through all the 4 days i was there. the project manager mr. Wang is also nice and warm. You know waLkig down the french decorated hotel buildings just made everything nice and Romantic. Every staff bowing and a familiar face at every corner. ;) They both offered to bring me out for a tour, i had to decline since i felt it wasn't right to leave my colleague at the meeting And i left with the architect for underwater world?! time didn't work out well in the end and L said to give him a chance next time I'm here. I was really happy this team is experienced, overtly workaholics, loving and fun. I am making this horrible 12 hour one way journey in 2 weeks time! I do hope It doesn't clash with my redang trip! Boohoo!! Honestly I don't wish to visit this same place again. Been there done that and off to new places! Hehe...

First thing to do when I get home/ office. Check my credit cards and phone bills. Unload and pack stuff to bring to office, upload photos. Do laundry! And... Just really, find out why the heck happened with the phone bill!!! Ah...
