For a predominantly Muslim country, Malaysia seems to be very excited about Christmas already. I had to hold myself back from buying a fibre optic Xmas tree today at lunch.
Just got back from ripsnorter of a visit to Perth to collect belongings and catch up with the crew in head office. I also managed to catch a wedding, a ball, a housewarming, spa party, work Xmas party and a birthday dinner. Very serendipidous. The BellTower Gods were conspiring to make Perth life look far more enticing than it did before I left. I afeared that I wouldn't want to leave again. Fortunately, I felt surprisingly happy to get back to KL and see those Twin Towers again. While in Perth, got some surprisingly blog feedback. Some people want to hear more about my job! Start reading again at asterix for those not interested.
Much as I am now happy with my career choice, I think there's a good reason why there aren't TV dramas about Engineering and Accounting offices. I think they could be unsexy professions. That's why till now I have spared this blog from work talk. Work's a bit piecemeal at the moment anyway (due to being "between phases" of a project with Client A). I'm not complaining however - it's my first quietish stint in 3 years so I'm trying to recharge a bit. A holiday would probably work better! Luckily there are a few potential hols coming up - Pangkor Island (Dec). Bali (Jan). Japan (Feb). Beijing (Aug). Off topic Claire!! You were supposed to be telling June about work! Something new popped up today (an overworked understaffed Client B that appeals to the people-pleaser in me) so stay tuned. Oh and we are recruiting local graduates so pretty soon I should have someone to handball things to. Oops I mean nurture and develop...
* ok enough work stuff. Time for other important stuff. I am off to try to master my new battery-operated eyelash curler, for which the instructions are all in Chinese.
