1st Business Trip to Tokyo Part 3

It started raining at midnight and it was supposed to be typhoon level 1 on my last day. Jogging was out of the question and thus I did a kickboxing hiit in the tiny room. I was amazed that I didn’t box or kick into something. 

I wasn’t hungry and decided to skip bfast. My umbrella finally came in useful. Then I realised that everybody was carrying some big ass umbrella while I was struggling with a tiny foldable and the luggage. Luckily the luggage is water proof. 

Daddy Lim asked if typhoon level 1 is dangerous. I don’t know but it only felt like a light thunderstorm that we experienced in Singapore but without the thunder. 

I got to the office safely and not excessively wet. A colleague invited me for lunch but I didn’t want food coma and opted for the desserts instead. The cake was nice. All the food that I had in Japan were nice. Japan is so nice. 


I also went to the supermarket to buy some strawberries bcos they were so sweet. I got a box for the office and brought the other 2 boxes home, hoping that they wouldn’t be squished in the luggage. My flight was at 5pm and I left the office at 2pm. 

Everything went smoothly. The traffic was smooth, the immigration was smoother. I was hungry and didn’t think that I can survive until dinner on flight. I got myself a sandwich, which was the absolute right choice bcos dinner was served pretty late in the flight. 

The rest of the time was spent on my laptop. The typhoon didn’t stop/ delay the flight. In fact, it was a light drizzle when we took off. 

The flight was uneventful, except for some turbulences. I was hungry/ greedy and was pinning for dinner. Finally..

7 hours is a long time. I watched some Running Man, some Big Bang Theory, and tried to sleep a little but was unsuccessfully. My butt hurts from all the sitting and I so wanted to get home. 

I arrived home after midnight. A part of me was tempted to unpack and do the laundry. Then I saw the overflowing laundry basket - Daddy Lim and the kids had so nicely left the laundry to me. Zzzz. I decided to go to bed instead. 

On Saturday morning, I was up at 6.30am bcos the laundry and housework bothered me. I did all the laundry, vacuumed, clean the cages, got the kids bfast and then went back to bed for a 2 hours’ nap. Hoho. 

Nana was very happy with the strawberries but the entire box was sour! Lol. Every single strawberry that I had in Tokyo was sweet. I duno what happened. The air?

Another business trip done. While I really like Japan, business trips are never fun and the 7-hour flight is so painful. Next up - Bangkok! Woohoo! Traveling for holiday is a totally different story. Hoho.
