I must be exhausted bcos I slept through, didn’t wake up like how I normally would on 1st nights. Then I heard my 5.55am alarm. Dozed off again and the next moment, it was 6.30am. Lazy as I was, gym it must be.
The hotel has a big and well equipped gym and I was the only one.
Back to the room, I got ready, packed up and left. I opted for a no bfast room, knowing that there would be so much eating for the rest of the day.
Time passed so quickly bcos I was so busy. My colleagues brought me out for lunch, it was a table of delicious Chinese food despite only having only an hour’s of lunch break. We were very efficient.
My flight was at midnight and my colleague insisted that she would bring me for dinner, at this 网红 restaurant across the road. The food is delicious and the presentation is 120 marks.
There was so much food; no way the 2 of us could finish. That is the thing about the Chinese, they seem to purposely over order to show their generosity. I had to keep telling them not to over order. Food wastage seems like the norm to do.
I headed to the airport with a very full stomach and also a very full luggage, lugging back all the 伴手礼 for the other colleagues and office. Japan and China are the only 2 countries that I go for work and come back with an even heavier luggage. The former bcos of my personal shopping. Hoho.
This 饼干签 is very in now and very fun. I brought back so many of them and all snatched up by the Singapore colleagues in a day.
The business lounge is nothing to shout about.
I was too full and didn’t try the food.
Finally time to board.
This time, the seat can be fully declined. There were a few kids flying business class. #richparents. I was very focused - sleep. I have a full day of meetings and work, with the 1st meeting at 9.30am.
I started dozing when before taking off. I heard an announcement and was surprised to realise that we were already in the air and the seat belt sign had been turned off. I really did sleep, stirred a couple of times but slept all the way until the announcement came up again, announcing that we would be descending soon. I rejected all offers for snacks, water, juices. It was too late for coffee.
The Singapore immigration and auto gates are so efficient and I was home at about 7am. For once, I didn’t really care about unpacking, heading to bed for an hour of nap before my long day. I survived, thankfully my calendar was packed, such that I didn’t have time to feel sleepy, until much later of the day. One more business trip done!
