bangkok
------

i arrived safely in bangkok at 8.35am, though it took me 45 minutes to an hour to get pass immigration. i couldn't believe the queue, it was so long though a lot of counters has already opened. i can just imagine the tourists coming in to bangkok on a sunday morning, i just wished manila would have the same number of tourists.

the flight was okay, i entertained myself by watching how i met your mother, and other comedy shows. i was sitting beside two young boys, when i say young, i mean 10 and below, they were siblings, and their parents sat at the other row. i saw the kid, getting the headset and put it in his bag, when he saw me looking at him, he smirked, and i made the "i-won't-tell" gesture. HAHA!

my hotel is beautiful, i took pictures but will upload it maybe when am back in singapore. i did work this morning, trying to finish some parts of the deck i was revising, and will be emailing over to my bosses later this evening - i have to go thru it one more time to ensure that everything is good to go, and that i have incorporated all changes.

i logged on in MSN to check whether some colleagues are here, but alas, i guess they were already out of the hotel and either exploring or hoarding in jatujak. after working, i went out and bought some sandwiches and returned to the hotel to have it for lunch. i slept thru the entire afternoon, since i really had no sleep the past few days, especially yesterday, and my schedule went something like this:

friday - went out of the office around 9.30pm to meet ryan and kristine to watch fame (ok, i didn't like the movie, and they invited me to relax since i was so stressed), and i commented that i should have just stayed back at the office to finish pending items. HAHA! i came home around 2am and slept.

saturday - i woke up at 10am to be in time for my badminton game with mech in bishan, after which, we watched dvd, and went to harbor front to meet carmen and reb. i haven't seen reb for quite some time, so i was thrilled to meet them up. we had steamboat, and it was good especially the laksa flavored one. we saw a movie called julie&julia - which was interesting (definitely better than fame). went to bed at around 2am.

sunday - woke up at around 4.30am to catch my super early flight to bangkok at 7.10am. trecilla, our office manager booked me at an super early flight since all the flights to bangkok was full. can you imagine that?! oh, am here for work actually, we have this digital training happening on monday to wednesday. supposedly, this program is called train the trainer, meaning fiona (starcom UK) is flying in to train us, and we will train our colleagues back. FYI. i was surprised that i was the one picked to go from the office, together with someone who am not very close to. i mean, i know for a fact that for these things, it should be manager and up, and i think am the only exception to that rule, since most of our counterparts from different regions are directors. i heard that our directors picked me to go. i appreciate it, i just didn't like the time frame that it happened, we are super busy with work back in singapore, and this is actually additional work on my end. i don't know whether to complain about this or not, but i have to accept and just be appreciative about it. whatever.

anyway, we are starting early tomorrow, 8.30am to be exact. am thinking of just ordering room service for dinner, take a hot bath and call it a day. wish me luck!
