Jealous!

Next Monday, 10 of my colleagues will be off to Estonia – for the company’s talent competition finale! How cool is that?

When the company announced the talent competition (which will be among all T**** offices worldwide), not many paid attention. Some took the effort to come up with a simple performance within a few hours, took a video of it and submitted to the committee. I didn’t feel like joining because it was done after office hours, including a weekend I had some other things to attend to.

Few weeks later, they were announced to be in the finals!

I hope they win. And I hope they’d have a great time together – all 10 of them.

 

 

 

p.s. At least for the 10 of them, it’d make up for the lack of company trip this year (last year it was Iceland for all of us, the year before was Rome, two years before was Amsterdam I think, and the list goes on and on – before I joined, that is).

Cam-Whore? Cam-Slut? Cam-Bitch?

Someone commented I put up too little photo of the holiday. It’s intentional, trust me – I’ve decided to not let the camera get in the way of me enjoying the company, or the scenery. A habit I decided to slip into, just last year.

I did what I had to do – let others do the snapping. So when it’s just him and me, there’s not much you can see!

That’s all folks!

 

Rejuvenated

 

The vacation was perfect – exactly what we needed.

With the free flow of food and drinks the whole 3 days stay, I was quite worried to gain back the pounds I’ve shed (vain, I know!), but I guess the activities offered by the resort kinda made up for it – a combo of rest & relax, but active holiday, I would say.

*Ehem* Weight gain of 400 grams is not too bad when on vacation, right? Haha. Am I obsessed or what?

Swimming, archery, golf, basketball, flying trapeze and some dance by the pool is enough to make one sweat a bucket under the hot sun. Not to mention getting several shades darker too! We even had a go at Blackjack when the theme was Casino & Cabaret on the first night (not real money of course!), and the performances by the GOs were simple, yet very entertaining.

But of course, being able to be idle by the beach would be rated the best in its category at anytime! *grins*

 

See You When I See You

Vacation is what you take when you can’t take what you’ve been taking any longer.

Not entirely true, don’t you think?

Have a good week, and Happy Deepavali!

 

Time is Crucial

I haven’t mentioned that my youngest bro is down with H1N1. Which was why all plans for the weekend went a bit haywire, but yes, am glad he’s feeling much, much better now.

On a different note, there’s just so much to do these few weeks. Did I mention with all the open house invites, and the Hari Raya visits, we only managed to squeeze in time for laundry for 2 weekends already? The house is in desperate need of a good clean up now!

Career-wise, a lot to finish up and by month-end, the team from Norway would be coming down to give some intensive training. I can already foresee some serious brain action for us here, even now!

And then there’s the boy’s birthday party (he’s turning 4 and I’m choosing the exact same location as his 1st birthday party, for the conveniences – private party room, decor and games included, and food is readily accessible just in case we don’t order enough) And of course, no tidying up right after! Not much to do, but we do have to find time to get everything in place – Mr. Hubs would be away for several days next week, and this weekend both Mr. Hubs and I would be away on a much needed vacation (minus the kid, yes).

… and the vacation – nowhere too far. Just somewhere I’ve missed the week the boy was hospitalized last 2 months. Only this time, it’s so much better coz I’ve got Mr. Hubs alone with me – minus the team building activities! *grins*
