New Year, New Business Trip, Part 2

The hotel has a gym! It is supposed to open at 6.30am. I was slightly early but the gym was already crowded. 


I couldn't get a machine and did a HiTT instead. Bcos traveling time had been cut, I had time for bfast and even nuah a bit in the room before ubering to office. By day 2, I am very pro with uber already. The uber cars were old and small but brought me safely to my destination. Good enough.

For lunch, I headed to the eateries a few buildings away. In India, most of the people would bring their tiffin, aka tabao and lunch is usually simple - some gravy or mashy something with rice or roti. Most of them wouldn't make it out during the hot months for lunch. Even a building away is too much walking in the hot sun. That afternoon, I had the chance to experience Mumbai's heat and humidity. It is much worse than Singapore. Then again, I was told that Singapore went through Winter again while I am away. 
I bought "momo" for lunch and to share. What are momos? Chinese 锅贴. 

I again left the office at 7ish and was happy to be stoning in the room. My dinner. I duno who eats omelette for dinner but it was comfort food. 
I got kung-fu panda for companion somemore. 

The next day was an early day, like really, really early. During the last trip, I was asking if any hiking can be done and a colleague remembered. I was up at 4.45am and he picked me at 5am. Despite the little traffic, the roads were still busy, it still took us 45 mins to reach the Yeoor Hill. There was not enough time and we could only walk along the road and not into the forrested area. 

This was what we thought of going.

Too far, not enough time. Can only take picture. 
We ended the hike with refreshing coconuts.
The air was freshy and chilly. Very comfortable and refreshing. I took a cab back to the hotel to freshen up before heading to the office. I couldn't get an uber in time and ended up having to take a call in the uber with choppy network and then lugging the bags and laptop in hand to the office. 

Lunch was Chinese food again. The colleagues took very nice care of me, ensuring that I have familiar food. Bcos lunch was so heavy, I skipped dinner, snacking on complementary fruits and muruku.
