Break Needed

First of all, congratulations to my bour bour and deb for the level up!! Its like reaching a big milestone and then time to work towards another milestone. Keep going ladies!

Ok, I levelled up this year too (nope, not eye-to eye level with bour bour yet la). I seldom (or in fact, don’t) make such announcements in public, because it is just… not me to make such statements because everybody would just come and ask me for dinner treats. OOPS. Joking! Ok, not funny. No la, I believe majority of the people here are humble people like me and prefer to stay low key. . Congrats to my peers too, well, I do not know for you guys, but it will be a year full of stress ahead of me.

Time has creeped past and it is only to be the last month of my secondment in “AC Milan”. Well, not too appropriate to name names. Just take it that I am David Beckham the 2nd. Suddenly, I feel I am going to miss the place when I leave. Secondment boss has been the nicest boss I have ever met. One who gave me free reins to run the business, not the whole company of course, but rather, the tasks given to me. My boss-cum-lunch kaki who always brings me to very exotic, erhem, not-so-near places for lunches. Big boss, on the other hand, is one person that I truly respect for her depth of knowledge in well, everything! Wow, she is just so good that you wonder how big is her brain! She strikes fear in me whenever she hits town because I think I feel small and inferior compared to her. Haha. But but but…. she is a very very very nice lady! My flawed English seriously does not do any justice to her great personality. Ever open to different opinions, seldom loses her cool, ever so gracious! From the start, she has given instructions to let me do something different from my usual routine work in LA Galaxy (read: my employer) and I greatly appreciate the exposure to the different facets of the industry. I would probably draft some thank-you notes to them when I leave, but this is just to show how great they have been because they are not going to see this. Right, after I praised them to the skies and you thought I was presenting my bootlicking abilities here. -.-”

I somehow do not look forward to returning to the team as this point. I  don’t see the need to elaborate further, but let’s just say I prefer peace over displeasure anytime. AC Milan is like a escapade to me and I enjoy it. Peace.

Except for the promotion, other news have been not pleasant so far. Especially Granny’s health, I see it coming, but there is no way to avert the natural course of life and I only have to suck my thumb and accept the way things are going.

I suddenly have the urge to visit Redang (by air please…), a place that I have sworn off my list of favorite places 3 years back. Need the tranquility and a much getaway from buildings, cars, pollution, computers. Does it also mean that time has exuded its healing prowess? I seriously do not know.

So much so for my life at the moment.
