finally! i'm back home from a super duper long journey... welcomed home with familiar enviro and faces... how long was long? hmmm, basically it was from
Singapore>
Moscow>
Houston TX>
Raleigh NJ>
Dallas TX>
Los Angeles CA>
Tokyo>
Singapore over a week of journey... it's hell! But seriously, over the past week, i've learnt alot cos the docs taught me tonnes of stuff i aint aware of... for once i thought, they are pretty smart aside from their clinical work. They strategize likeold mother-in-lawsin the peranakan and hong kong serials... but of course strategies aint as realistic as "pure luck" you can plan for everything but some things are to be left to the hands of"somebody up there"i supposed... being their "travel secretary", i was tasked to change their flights, their hotels, their transport and fix the nitty gritties... being a "Noob", i replied with "certainly, sirs..." and did that accordingly... guess what?
Boss: "Hi Dynelle, tried calling u hope u arrived safely at LA
Guess what happened to us? will call you later.
...connecting call to boss...
got to know that their plane was cancelled & they got stuck @ raleigh airport instead of going crazy at Manhattan...
Boss: "Oh just to let u know that Dr Ralph Corey told Dr Kwek he is very impressed with u So I told them naturally so as she is well chosen & smart even down to choosing the right flights! i thought I would make your weekend for you!
Humble Secretary me:Haha Tts surely luck from a non frequent traveller! Prof, you guys travelled too much tts why the chances of you getting flight delay is higher!
Boss: "You're right so I can fix tt order u to fly more often!!
i couldnt help it and had a great laugh! aside that, all my efforts went down the drain i supposed...
of course, journey to LA was to catch up with my dear friend... one who was too valuable to have... except that it was too long since we met to which ate into our comfort levels... but i'm still glad that we went forjapanese(totally thankful to have Asian! not that i hate American but i'm totally not into it), a beach stroll on soft sand that does not stick to your feet atVenice beach(santa monica's extended stretch i supposed), caught up for little chat till we doze off... finally it was time to say goodbye... though short, but had a great time...
not alot of shopping, not one photo, but am thankful that all the 5am wake-ups, 7.30am breakfast meeting, 8-10.30 pm dinner debrief routine were finally over...
time to do my exams again... there it goes... mug hard, super.mugger!
