Business Class

Decided to drop in and write about this: 
Going to take business class for the first time! Thai Airways Royal Silk class :)
 

Sometimes I am worried the prospects of these upgraded experiences affecting my expectations and demand for comfort and quality life. It's like those movies when people splurge with their expense accounts on business trip - taking the upgraded class, staying in 5 star hotels, cabbing/limousine with driver, dining at fine restaurants.. without paying a single cent from their paycheck. 

The problem with this is that it makes you want these luxuries even in your normal life. And you start drawing from your paycheck, you want to cab instead of take the bus/train, dine at nice places instead of food courts, refuse to stay in a 3 star accommodation anymore. 

It can be scary. It is a boon and a bane. But this time, it's a learning experience.

First work trip

Tomorrow marks my first work trip - first destination: BKK. There will be few like that as my job involves more back-office planning work and liaising with clients over email, phone calls and occasionally meeting them f2f. I'm excited though, to meet our Thai Rep for the first time and be able to attend client meetings outside Singapore.

It's not exactly the first time, I've met a client previously in BKK for lunch during the BKK training last year but this time I'll have to deal with back to back meetings over 2 full days as well as deal with client requests in my mailbox whenever there is time to check..

As usual I am not sure if this industry is for me.  Sometimes yes sometimes no but mostly, no. I have to pursue my real interests and passions. Dance, Environment..impacting lives. 

Dance is out of question because it will always remain recreational. While working for a green business and something that has a higher meaning is viable. I'm still muddling my way through and as much as I want to be increasing my knowledge of this field, the noises of life have snuffed this off. Most of the time.

And then I wonder sometimes, where have my life gone to? I haven't been actively pursuing my dreams and mini goals that leads to the big picture. The fodder that drives me to live to my potential. Will it ever come true like this? No. No way.

Bring fit and healthy - snuffed because of laziness and lacking strong motivation and people to keep it with

Learning driving - snuffed because the ulu Ubi school seems so far yet is so near

Dancing frequently - snuffed and too too tired to elaborate

Learning piano - snuffed because of $ and time

Living overseas for 2 years - ...

Saw 3 Burger King Ads in a row of their A4dables promotion on the road to a BK. Hungry for it now, blame the power of advertising. But it is honestly so sinful!!!

No mes ames

Have you ever felt sad from deep within your heart when these waves of emotions run over you and silent raindrops fall from nowhere? It is as if a part of you have died or am relegated to the back ends of your memories because as strong as they have been, they have to remain somewhat buried? 

Somewhat buried because the big picture tells you that remaining hidden, remaining suppressed may be better. But those little times when an accidental agent goes over and uncovers that part once again - a little at a time. And it all blows up for a moment. How long this moment last I do not know.

But I know it is now. Some part of you awakens - a passion. Strongly yearning for that life to rush over you again. When the world feels like your playground and everything, everything is just beautiful. 

And you fall. deeply in love again. and some part of you asks, is all this burying... worth it? It has to be and the reason is. But why can't we have both? Why can't it be part of the big picture? Why...why..why can't we have the world?

Contentment? A greater glory, a greater blessing? I don't know. But when life slips within me again I can't help but ponder over this all over again and somehow wish multiple love and be combined. Why, God?

I don't know. But meanwhile I know I will trust in Him. Does trusting come in a silent melancholic tune? Or is that because we do not trust enough?

First post from my MAC

Mac Mac, happy me. I finally got my apple macbook pro and the accompanying free ipod touch. This is my first post and I have 2 minutes to jot something quick down before a conference call for work ...at guess what, 9pm. That's because the call is with US/Europe/Mexico etc.

Oh well, a quick review. I am happy with my apple stuff but i'm still in the process of getting used to it. Especially MSN that i use so very often for catching up with friends every night, it's not the same on a mac, not as pretty or advanced in comparison. Hmm, not to mention that this keyboard feels a bit funny because it doesn't feel deep enough?  

But anyway, elsewhat, i love the design on this. :)

cheers,
principessa
