Final Business Trip 2023

This should be it - my final business trip for 2023. Woohoo! I am so done!

I had contemplated going to the airport slightly later than usual but I still kiasi and arrived 2 full hours before the flight. This is the 1st business trip where I didn't buy anything from DFS. I spent my time looking for Garett popcorn. My Indo colleagues love that and there is no franchise in Indo. Idea! 

I was departing from the newly re-opened T2. While I didn't do DFS shopping, there were plenty of others to see. Many stalls selling yummy food too.

I decided to head to the gates earlier and that decision allowed me to meet my uni hall/ club mate. We used to run a freshmen orientation camp together and he will be flying my flight! I asked him to fly properly. 

The most enjoyable of the flight. 

My friend didn't fly the plane extremely well bcos it was bumpy. Lol. 

My work trip started with checking in to the hotel 1st. The hotel reception said that they have upgraded me to a suite, probably bcos I stayed at the hotel too regularly. I can't really tell the difference of this upgraded suite vs the normal room but Midplaze Ayana has always been a comfortable stay. 

That kickstarted my busy work week. 

I visited the gym every morning. The hotel has a great gym and they added on new machines! 

I only tried the stairs master for fun. Climbing stairs as a workout isn't really fun. Hoho. Most of the hotel guests were like me, sticking to the boring treadmill. We all probably didn't want to embarrass ourselves. 

The bfast spread has always been so good. 

My dinner for one of the nights. 

I worked hard and am glad to finally 熬到 Friday and it was time to go home. The flight was at 6pm and I duno why I was so chilled to listen to my Indo colleagues and only leave the office at 3pm. Then I started panicking in the traffic jam to Airport. 

There are definitely many good lady drivers but the one who drove me seems a bit chill. I had to rush her a little towards the end of the journey. I arrived at 4.20pm. While checking in and immigration were a breeze, the security check was not. I queued at a lane where a luggage got stuck in the x-ray machine and had to change a line. My next choice (of line) saw a family of 3 with an adult daughter, who were obviously very chill for their travel and took so much time to unload and reload. Angry. 

I arrived home safe and sound. The dinner was good and I am super happy to be home. I am also super happy to finally finished my suduku book. Hohoho.

This has 200 puzzles and I have already threw away majority of the book. This has also accompanied me to so of my trips. Achievement unlocked. 

Yay, to no more business travel for 2023!
