Geneva Day 2

After the tiring flight schedule, yesterday at least I can relax a bit.. I woke up at 6am, then got prepare to go jogging, but bad thing always happen when you have full of hope, it was raining at the morning, and I think better not to jog, otherwise I might get sick. Then call up Lovely to have a little chat, again I miss her very much..

Today work schedule not pack, just attended few meetings, but the happy thing is I can meet with those Geneva colleagues again! Really long time didn't see them, I think more than 2 years. After finished the day, I went back hotel and gym, then dinner.

Today's meal:
Breakfast: Passion Fruit Yogurt with Cereal
Lunch: Spaghetti Aglio Olio
Dinner: Chinese "Ji Cha".. Never thought I will eat chinese food here, but at least can see the Chinese Restaurant culture here..

Another souvenir for my lovely cutie wife.. Haha..

Geneva Day 1

Yesterday morning I woke up at 5am, then prepared myself to go airport and breakfast at Kris Flyer lounge.. It was really a long long process for me, because 1 day no longer 24 hours, is more than that!! From 5am SG time, stay awake until the next day 7am SG time (Geneva is just 1am), so do you think this the night still young in Geneva? Afraid not..

Just to share what I have done in the plane for the 13 hours!

1. I was watching movie right after the plane departed, I spent 4 hours for 2 movie (Knight and day and A-Team, at the same time having breakfast. After finished both movie, I was flying above Nagpur, India and 7638km to go...

2. Then I spent an hour to read my documents and thinking my Lovely baby in KL.

3. 6 hours flight gone, I reach Afghanistan sky, UK time is 8:11am and out temperature is -26 celcius. I was watching Prince of Persia after 1st reading, suddenly hungry then order Kuai Teow soup, quite nice!

4. After the movie, it's kinda bored, then found something interesting which is learning foreign language. I took up French and German basic conversation like Bonjour, Merci, Allo, Je M'excuse, Ou sont les toilettes.. For German also quite interesting like refreshing my memory, recall what I had learned before.

5. Continue with Movie Predator, not very nice movie... About 9 hours passed, now i'm flying on top of Krasnodar, Russia, another 4 hours to go or 3100 km.

6. 11:30am UK time, finally we fly into Europe and Berlin, Germany just below us about 31999 ft. and flying at ground speed 819km/h.

7. I watch the last movie Fire Dragon (by Leon Lai), hmm no nice at all. Also having my lunch at this time, seabass with mashed potato.. The entire journey, I was drank about 7 glasses of wine, haha I think almost a bottle!

8. Finally, we arrived in London Heathrow airport, then go get my boarding pass and wait to transit and fly to Geneva, another 3 hours (2 hours flight plus 1 hour delay).

I had bought some gifts for my Lovely baby and myself from London.. Haha..

SIN > KUL > SIN > GVA > NYC > SIN

After my last business trip to Hong Kong, another trip is coming.. This time is a long trip and in a short notice, my own trip schedule is being messed up! Suppose I'm going back to KL on 25 to 30 Aug, but my business trip is starting from 29 Aug till 01 Oct..

So, anyway I have to activate my plan B:
25 - 28 Aug - Singapore - Kuala Lumpur - Singapore
29 - 08 Sep - Singapore - Geneva - New York
09 - 01 Oct - New York - Singapore

In fact, the most regret thing is I can't attend my brother's weddings, this is something I still feel stress about. So, I'm thinking to do something for my brother, how? Buy a wedding gift? Record a surprise video for him? what else I can do??

Nothing is perfect in this world, I have no choice and especially I can't control about my work and need to follow project schedule. What I can say is sorry to my brother and hope he understand me.
