2009 is the year of Asia Pacific for me.. Seem to be travelling to all the Asia Pac countries.. I started the new year in January in Hong Kong/ Macau and China, then next week, i am going to Hong Kong again... K won't be around on Valentine's Day so i am still thinking whether i should extend my stay over the weekend in HK.. I'm still quite sad that i will be spending Valentine's this year on my own.. = (
Come next month, going off to KL for 3 days for my company's regional sports meet. As usual, i will be in the badminton team. We had the last sports meet in 2006 at Pattaya, and the Singapore team beat Malaysia and Thailand and emerge overall champion for golf, badminton and bowling! So proud leh! But i lost my badminton match hehehe.. Then early April, flying off to Tokyo for meeting.. Been busy planning for this Tokyo trip, cause I kena "arrow" by my boss to organize the trip since i am based in Asia Pacific. Also good lah, cause i get to choose all the things i like.. Planning for a sight-seeing tour as our team building activity.. still waiting for the tour company to give me a quotation. I asked them to to include all the places that I want to see.. hee hee.. Cherry Blossoms is a must.. although not sure if it will bloom when we go there.. supposed to be Spring time in April, but nowadays the world's climate is so screwed up, you never know!!
I also requested for the Onsen hot springs, so went to research a bit on the website. I read that people with tattoos will be rejected at some of the hot springs parks, cause the tattoos are usually associated with their local mafia. haha.. so interesting!! = )
Then end April / early May, K and I will fly off to New Zealand for the rest of the year!! I spoke to my direct boss this morning about my unpaid leave.. she seems quite okay with it, although she did mentioned that she had some plans for me to help out with some projects and she intend to discuss with me next week in HK or during our meeting in Tokyo.. haha.. lucky i quickly "siam"!! Actually i also feel quite bad, cause my boss is new, and i will be leaving at the peak period in end April / May, so whoever take over my job will be quite "jia lat".. i did tell my boss that i can still be contacted in New Zealand if they need help, then she joked that she can arrange for meeting in New Zealand and meet me there!
Anyway, we'll see how it goes... this month should get pretty interesting for me at work..
