Boy, am i glad! If kissing the ground when i disembark the aeroplane doesnt whisk me to IMH, i wld gladly kiss it a million times and shout at the top of my voice that....IM BACK!!
Being away from home for Sooooooo long ( my 1st time this long actually) was quite daunting, esp so when im a mother now. I missed Thad so much and i tell you, there were countless times where i just cry myself to sleep after talking to him. And there's this constant worry that he might forget me! But my worries are of cos, uncalled for. When i went to fetch him home, he crawled fervently to the door and he wldnt let anybody carry him afterwards, except me. And as our heartbeats sync, and his head fall on my shoulders, i know...i never ever want to be seperated from him again...until of cos, when he gets older..=)
Anyways, as i blogged earlier, it was quite depressing there, cos the wrkload was quite overwhelming and we wrked til very late everyday..like 2-3am..later on weekends...yes, i wrked on weekends too! Sometimes, tears wld just well up at the corners of my eyes while i was working. Til now, i still got nightmares of being in HK and i shudder whenever i woke up and sigh a sign of relief when i realise that its just a dream! Ha...
But the high side of this trip is that i really get to experience 1st hand how a major conference worked and of cos, i get to meet many of my overseas colleagues whom i have always liased thru emails/phone but nv got a chance to meet them. =) And as we got daily allowances, every morning, i cld just happily go starbucks and order a cup of tea and breakfast, which of cos, i dun do it in SIN cos its too exp!!
Managed to meet up with the ppl we wanted to meet. Even CH met us, although we fall in his optional part of his itinerary. HA....Met HC one day after wrk, and as i was like super stressed, i was in a spending $$ mood..We end up at Kate Spade. ( B must be thankful that we didnt end up in Dior or LV..=p ) and i bought a key pouch and she, a bag! Actually wanted to get that bag too, but i tink Mr Chan wun be too pleased abt it. He's like nagging constantly abt my rocket high phone bills and watever paper which have my name and numbers on it! Sigh....
The extended trip was actually quite tiring for me cos we went out shopping and sight seeing the whole day. And to make matters worse, the hotel we stayed in - Metropark Mongkok was pretty bad. Carpets were dusty and have stains on them, toilet has rusty parts. So off! Only enjoyed the last night, which was in Hollywood disneyland hotel. Even B caught the disney magic there. He loved it and he said that next time we can stay there, but at the more exp hotel! Yea...!! When i made reservations, i indicated that it was our wedding anniversary, and when we returned to the hotel the 1st night, i saw a bouquet of flowers, a tin of biscuits, 2 small towels and a card signed off by Mickey! Was so overjoyed by this happy surprise! =) How i wish Thad was also there...!!
Overall, we covered all the places we wanted to visit. Many thanks to this guide book that B bought. And the funny thing is, when i was flipping thru the book, i kept questioning B, why we didnt visit this and there the other time huh? Ha...But the most irritating part of this trip is tat we encountered many many rude service staff! It wasnt like that when we visited few years ago. This time round, they were so rude, so bo chap, give you attitude etc. Even when B spoke to them in cantonese! It really spoiled our mood totally! there was once i asked the sales girl for a new piece of the top which i intend to buy...do you know where she go and get it ? From the stack of clothes that were on display...i was like...HUH?!?! This one is considered new piece?? And she even gave mi a face! kaoz...quickly paid and left the shop!
Okies, enuff of HK...i can really go on and on...HA...
Forgot to mention earlier that i flew back the weekend of Thad bdae and we went to the Zoo! Thad was so cute and i shall post the photos and video of him feeding the elephant soon in fb. It was so funny, cos he refused to let go of the banana...and he and the elephant were having a mini tug of war...=p
