New Year, New Business Trip, Part 3

Last day! I tolerated this trip much better than the last one. Traveling alone isn't that bad. 

I woke up early for the gym before making my way for bfast. That was when I realised that I had lost my aftershokz. It must have dropped out when I was trying to take the call in the uber the day before, pulling earphones and what not from my bag. Sob.

The restaurant is very decent.

Daddy Lim asked why no meat. Got, 1 mini suasage. Their meat dishes didn't look interesting/ appetising. The spread is the same every morning but I shan't complain. At least I get "pick and choose" bfast. 

I took 2 calls before making my way to the office at BKC. Different scenary and at one part, we passed by a road with mini shops. Interesting...

I finally made it to the office at about 12pm. 

There is a new Starbucks! An ice mocha is perfect on a hot afternoon. 

I worked until 7pm and was eager to make my way to the airport. I rather be early than anxious. I wouldn't mind stoning in the airport too. I am good with stoning.

 

It must be bcos it was peak hour, I booked an uber, which was supposed to take 10 mins to come but only finally arrived after 30 mins. Heng I booked the uber early. 

The way to the airport was equally bad. At certain parts, it was almost a standstill or inching on a very bumpy and squeezy road. There was road works going on but even without, the roads arent much better. I cannot tell if it was bcos I had 2 cups of coffee earlier or the mad shaking but I was quesy. I couldn't be happier when I saw the  airport sign.

No visitors is allowed in the airport. To enter the airport, we need to show departure proof and I panicked when I couldn't retrieve the email, possibly due to lousy network. I had to rely on the hardcopy that was addressed to a Ms Tan. Fortunately, I cleared. 

I had 3 hours before the flight departure but I wanted to clear the Immigration ASAP. It wasn't as crowded as my last trip, maybe bcos it was already late at night. This was my dinner. 

I hesitated about eating raw vegetables but the temptation of warm toasted bread and melted cheese was hard to resist. No tummy ache and I made it onto the plane alright. 

This time, I had the aisle seat. I finished the movie that I was watching on the earlier flight and got ready to go to bed. I had a long day ahead. I skipped flight supper, opting only for the bread and keeping it for Zaky. He loves the airplane bread. Haha.

Though interrupted, I had a good 3 over hours of sleep, until the announcement woke me, to inform me that we were descending. The last bit of the flight was bumpy bcos of the rainy clouds. 

Finally, home! Landed!

Still in time to catch the wet and wintery weather.

I napped again in the car. Reached home, unpacked and napped again until nearing lunch before started on work. I survived the half workday. Strategy well carried out. 

Mochi didn't seem to miss me too much. His litter box was so full and smelly. Zzzzz. I cleared a big bag of poo and pee. I didn't get to see the kids until late evening. Zaky was back from school and CCA and told me how hard it was. Daddy Lim picked Zaky and me from home to meet Nana at JP after his work and her tuition. Nana had a full week of staycation at my brother's house and told me how convenient it was to go to school. Hoho. 

Why to JP? I needed to get this. 

Had to spend $$ bcos of my stupidity. Haiz. 

This marked the end of my 1st business trip 2023. I survived! It wasn't so bad!
