we all need a mirror to keep conscious of ourselves

A week long of holiday at Bangkok and Batam was really good. So good that I forgot the feeling of waking up for work every morning and that I thought I was back in school days where we all had our usual school vacation.

And what was great was going with the bff and the iras gang. I must have been selfish enjoying the trip with 2 cliques of closest friends, when they have on single clue about each other before the trip. & i hope it didn't spoil the trip much. Afterall to coexist is not an easy task. Definitely not a good choice to mix 2 different groups of friends together for a trip. At least I will never do it again. The after feeling sucks. I'm not good at juggling/being more sensitive.

Shopping was still good though. Definitely bought more than the first time with the extra cash I could spare. Even though I could have gotten more dresses (i only got 5), the tops are enough to alternate my outfits for weeks. Late night movies, thai food, and massage is what makes up a good and relaxing holiday.

Batam was ruined in the beginning by an Indonesian officer in charge who was very arrogant and behaving like he was a principal lecturing kids because the passengers were noisy at the immigration hall when he tried to get every one quiet. He got the immigration officer going back into the office, leaving none of the booths opened. And then he started bombing the passengers in the queue with threatens like sending us back to Singapore, not letting us into Indonesia because he is the officer (and biggest) there, asking us if we understood the meaning of keeping quiet, and when no one answered (apparently no one dared) he said he will not ask the officers back until we said we understood. So when he asked again, a girl say she understood, and he said "okay you good, you understand. you go first". wts right!

KTM resort (which we and many other Singaporeans booked through deals) was pretty deserted and boring. In fact, it made me feel that Batam is a boring place. Firstly, they cut off the beach which was a bad choice. We had to go to another hotel 30 mins away for our water sports. Secondly, the huts/villas were pretty creepy. Thirdly, as it is deserted, the only means to get out is by their shuttle bus.

We met a good driver of the hotel and he offered his services even after his working hours. Full body aromatherapy massage was also another highlight of the trip. Hahaha!

Came back from the trip, and started work with heavy steps as my direct boss was leaving the company. For the company's annual KTV and G's farewell, we enjoyed ourselves at K Suites which was great! I love the sound system and the huge pool table there. Sore throat was made worse with the aid of greentea martell and singing/screaming into mikes. I love my crazy colleagues. They are such a bunch of drunkards who do stupid stuff that never fail to make me laugh.

Boss' departure did not affect me too much on the emotional side. Instead, I had more work foreseen coming with the guidance of a new leader. So much deadlines to remember. :/

No pictures yet as I'm lazy hehe
