Darn

Freaking busy days at work with dual roles - can't wait for my shuttle to come each day after an intensive day of slavery in the office.

What you sow should be what you reap. But then who says life was ever fair?

Work ethics in trying times

The earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan last Friday have been a frightening experience SCB colleagues in Japan. It is with relief that all the people in my function was accounted for and whilst terribly shaken, are leading efforts to deliver stability for SCB business, customers and the community.

The dreadful images appearing on the television and newspapers are truly heart breaking, yet at the same time those same images portray personal, touching stories that tell us the people of Japan are incredibly strong, resilient and will overcome the trying times ahead.

Despite quite arduous journeys to and from work, often taking up to 2 hours travel time as train and road networks are affected due to power disruptions. Food, gas and general supplies are difficult to find, but this has not stopped them from coming to work.

The professionalism, responsiveness and courage of these people to ride through the challenges in such difficult times is greatly admirable.

What's happening to mother earth?

We have seen natural disaster occurring more often than not these days. Just recently, we have seen a strong 8.9 magnitude earthquake triggered tsunami rock Japan's Fukushima prefecture. That accounted for at least 1,700 people dead or unaccounted for. 


My friend Toon is doing her further studies there. When I saw the news in office, my heart sank. Worried and helpless,  I prayed for my friend's safety and everyone in there.


I am real glad she is safe as the impact could have been worst. :)

WOOO, what a trip!

Day 1 - Macau

We won some cheap thrill money at Sands which was used to ofset our lunch. We sampled so much macau snacks that we almost puked and cry.

One of the nicest picture taken here.

Day 2-5 - HK

We did the half marathon in 3hours - half running and half walking. Fred was very kind and sweet to accompany me at my pace as his timing is easily half of mine. Stupid me thought of changing hotels immediately after thr run... it was a torture for us to carry our heavy shopping bags across to causeway bay by bus 11. Anyhow, we got a beautiful highest level suite in Butterfly Hotel overlooking Havppy Valley at a promo price, so it was quite worth the journey.

We spend quite a lot of money on small stalls, restuarants and snacks along the way. My favourite was the gui ling gao and dumping cum wanton noodles. We also met up with a few friends this trip, one of which is gary pu na ni. Say cheese to the condensed milk bun.

HK, we will be back again!
