Came back in 1 piece

Many of you thought that I went for a holiday. I wish I did too..since I only came back from Vietnam in Chinese New Year. But no, it wasn’t a holiday, but yes..it’s Vietnam again!!

I was at Hanoi (not HCM) for 2 weeks for some freaking work trip that I swear after the trip that I’ve had enough of Vietnam for the coming 1 year :P…Yes..all those Vietnam food, Traffic, Taxis were really getting into my nerve and boy am I glad that I’m finally back home. You know on my flight back, we were served with Satay & Fried Rice. Gosh…that 2 sticks of Satay was like my saviour LOL. Shows how much I missed KL and it’s really not easy to survive in a foreign land in for a long time.

And I have to give my my dearest hubby a big salute for doing that for the pass 1 yr, 3 months. Now I know how it feels dear…alone in a foreign land, coming back home is really a something you look forward to.

Anyway, back to the trip. Well, like I say it was freaking. I was contemplating whether to come back during the weekends or to stay over the weekends of that 2 weeks. So I did a crazy thing. I came back on Friday, then went to fetch the kids, then I left again on Sunday. But I was glad I made that choice cause I missed the kids so much (and of course they missed me too :P).

The weather was cold on the 2nd week that I had to run to this shop opposite my hotel to get a jacket :P. During the 1st week, it was like KL. Crazy weather eh…

I went there with a list of mission to accomplish and at the very last minute before leaving, I was still talking to the vendor which tried to bargain pricing for new contract. It wasn’t easy, me being the 1st timer. Good thing that the deal was closed before I pack my bag.

Apart from those negotiation, we went live with Vietnam Call Center after 1 week of training. I seriously hope that I don’t have to travel again at least till year end when another contract ends, but it’s not Vietnam for sure :P.

Photos above were taken during my trip. I decided to go 90% black & white this trip with my camera settings LOL.

1. If you spotted the 1st pic (of course, it’s darn big OK :P), yep, that’s me, with a NEW HAIRCUT. I got it done sometime ago…in conjuction with..ermm..nothing, just for a change.
2. Next to it, I got very bored travelling alone, I started to take candid shots of other passengers including their shoes :P.
3. Not forgetting my yucky meal in the flight courtesy of MAS. Only the meals coming back were good, going there was bad.
4. My seat on the plane (yes I’m so bored!!)..and I look at my passport..jeezz..I’m a Vietnam frequent traveller O.o
5. The hotel photo, that’s Sheraton Hanoi. I didn’t stay there, but Daddy arranged to be base there for a week so that we could meet up. So I stayed at his hotel for 2 nights. The hotel is really beautiful, facing the lake!!.
6. Caught the trainer inspecting the laptop during training. I was the Day 1 trainer, and he and another guy was the trainer for rest of the week.
7. Clouds…the 1 thing that I never miss shooting in every of my trip. I just love those fluffy feeling.
8. View from my hotel. My hotel was downtown near Old Quarters, a bit old and Daddy kept complaining it’s darn old..just cause he’s staying in Sheraton and it’s spanking new

After my 2 weeks away-and-home-in-between trip, this is what my children told me:

Faythe: Mommy, I think it’s enough already. You shouldn’t go anymore. It’s OK now, you can stay here. (Cause before I left I told her I’m going off and work like Daddy and only comes back once a while :P)

Vyktore: Mahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh………(screaming endlessly at me with that mah LOL)…and he’s very very attach to me lately :|…
