The same thing happened to my alarm on Wednesday morning - the snooze didn’t work. The next I realised, it was 7.15am but I still went for the gym. The nice thing about Japan is that it is 1 hour ahead of Singapore and thus my calls ended up starting later than usual.
The gym was crowded this time and I had to share the small gym with 4 other guests. I did a kickboxing hiit, which thankfully only require very small space.
Did I have bfast? Of course. I had been thinking about the Japanese bfast. Tadah!
I checked out and lugged my luggage to the office. As I walked past Donki, I was tempted for an early morning shopping. No!!! Lol.
This is my new jacket. The same stocking though.
Nana asked me to take a picture of “outside my office”.
Nah! There is a little garden in front of the office and those botak trees are cherry blossom trees. They are supposed to be in full bloom in 2 weeks’ time. I duno how they can quickly go from botak to full bloom.
Luckily I had bfast bcos once my calls and meetings started from 10am, and it was non-stop until 7pm. Again, there was no time for lunch and I ended up snacking. Speaking of which, several of the Singapore colleagues had visited the Japan office recently and we all ended up bringing a variety of Bengawang solo and Mdm Ling. I also brought stuff from Bengawang. I think I snacked on these familiar Singapore snacks more than the Japanese colleagues. Hoho.
I was exhausted by the time I finally ended all my calls/ meetings. I was asking my colleagues on how to get a taxi to the airport and they said to flag one off the street. I thought they were joking. They weren’t! I found it hard to believe that technology is so advanced in Japan and they are still flagging taxis. Anyway, my colleague did book me one eventually. I decided to head to the airport at about 8pm when all my colleagues were leaving office. Nuahing at the business lounge sounded like a good choice.
The ride to the airport was uneventfully. I was looking forward to shopping at the airport. There are plenty of the Japanese snacks and sweets to buy.
The airport was also quite empty and immigration was a breeze. I headed to the lounge and was looking forward to free food; I was so hungry.
The lounge is so much bigger than the one in Changi Airport. Round 1.
I thought the curry rice would be great but meh only, very salty. I wonder why they make the plates so small. I had to go back for round 2.
Then I nuah around, scrolling my phone and was almost falling asleep until a colleague ping me and I had to do some work. It woke me though.
I left the lounge with 1 hour before boarding bcos my backside hurts from all the sitting. I walked somemore and bought somemore snacks. Hoho. This is the only business trip that my luggage ended up heavier than the start of the trip.
It was finally time to board. I realised that the Japanese are very long winded. Their announcements are all super long, whether pre-boarding or on the plane. I was hoping to finish the Japanese movie that I started on my coming flight. Cannot… I was too sleepy.
Again, I opted not to have meals but to sleep. The menu for bfast.
Yes, the Company has once again paid for me to sleep in the air. When I woke up, they were actually serving meals and I could ask but I wasn’t hungry. I finally finished the movie and then slept for another 1 hour. So needed.
Back in Singapore, it was all smooth. I asked Daddy Lim if I should buy more alcohol and he stopped me. He is not drinking fast enough; I am traveling too frequently. Haha. I saw and got Dom though. He was asking for it my last trip. I thought only pregnant women drink Dom? Hoho.
I came back and work starts. I managed to take 3 calls so far but am becoming groggy from the lack of sleep. It is so tiring. But, look at my loot from the trip! Hahahaha.
I am going to steal a nap during lunch.
I am so glad to be back. Even Mochi is tired.
