i can't access my own blog in Shanghai because the Chinese govt blocks it!
how ridiculous is that???
need to figure out a way to bypass this. And they say Singapore is tough.

doubly grossed out... feeling the blues... yucks.

continuing the day in the Land of Smiles - how do the thai people remain so cheerful?
the heat continues to irritate but felt so much better after my shopping spree.
MBK never fails to deliver.

golden week starts...

Bangkok is hot hot hot!
Never realise that I had a problem with humidity...
Humility yes, but not humidity. now I know.

anyway, has been another week of intense learning, traveling and networking.
exciting stuff's on the way. let's hope the execution will do justice to the depth of thinking behind the strategy.

met with Jeed yesterday. had a deafening dinner at the teppanyaki restaurant where some drunk guests at the next table were shouting and screaming together with the chefs! horrible.
chat till late over beer and coffee by the sea. nice seabreeze.

had a lousy morning meeting. didn't manage to talk much despite the late night before.
sigh. should have slept more.

now in buzzing hongkong.
wish i have more time to buy and eat more.
unfortunately will need to leave early morning.
looks like my plans to buy a cheap digicam here have gone down the drain.
on to Bangkok next!

finally came home after 11 hours of flight time.
i must say the business class service is really in a world of its own.
makes you appreciate once more, the allure of money and the priviledges it brings.

opened my door and am immediately greeted by dirty footprints, dusty sofas, dirty laundry, rotting food in the fridge...I have to decide if I want to first tackle the unpacked luggage, mop the floor, vaccum the sofa or wash the clothes all at once. I can't believe how potent the Shanghai construction dust is! How the world did it manage to penetrate the walls and closed windows?
my house looked like it has been abandoned for years, judging by the dust piles! the dust cake that i eventually removed from my vaccum cleaner is unbelieveable.

I dread to think that I'm leaving on another trip this week.

Still, managed to catch Pool's victory on TV while mopping the floor.
Somehow the housework doesn't seem so tough once you caught sight of the scrowl on Mourinho's face. 'Special One' my aXX!

yeah! the conference finally ended today. tons of work to follow up on. the past few days have been tough, nearly been working double shifts cos' of the time difference. whoever says mobile office is the way of the future is lying...

had a few hours to burn after the conference. warwick castle turns out to be quite an amazing sight. relaxing walk in the cool weather as we were led to re-live the days of knights and princesses...

Is it that nothing's normal anymore or is everything normal now?

2006 is the year of the People!

This workshop is getting more interesting by the day!
While I must already be one of the more passionate employee around, I must say hanging out with these people in the past few days have made me realise even more now how great the organization really is! We do have a lot of top brains working for the company and they are from all over the world. The fact of the matter is, I never feel so small yet so proud as I have in the past week. I am truly humbled and this is not something I'll say very often.

saying hello!

Currently in Warwick, some 2 hours off London. For a workshop. In case you are wondering, MB Global HQ is in Warwick. Yes, Mr Millward and Mr Brown were from here. Weather is freezing and dreary as you would expected in the UK. Terrible jetlag - was awake at 3am this morning. Should probably hang on since I'm flying back to my 'normal' timezone in 3 days.

Spent monday in London with Moon and Rob. They seem happy. Good for them. London seems too cold a place to start life from scratch. The airbed is not recommended though. :)
