My one week return to Singapore has finally come to an end, and tomorrow I shall board the plane and head back to HK, where all the action is. I wonder if I have become a full-fledged workaholic, and that I can no longer relax and look at the simpler things in life.

This return trip, as with the previous, is jam-packed with a tone of meetings, mostly to regroup the resources for my little ventures and plans beyond my employment. While I still have faith in my bosses at HK, one cannot be faulted for laying some contingency plans. Admittedly, I have never been the kind to settle for a job and pension, and so my alternative route has to be something more than filling in my resume.

Thankfully, all plans seem to be smooth flowing up till this stage, and I should expect some tangible returns by the end of the year, even if it is from only one entity, it should be lucrative enough.

One surprise during this trip was catching up with the daughter of our maid (or rather, our maid ten years ago). I managed to squeeze a bit of time between an overseas video conference and the evening meetings to spend an hour or two touring the botanical gardens with our foreign friends. Some pictures taken –

Have bought all the chilli sauce and local seasonings needed to conjure up good enough meals for my dear friends, who all miss SG food so very badly. Await the return of the chef! Hahahaha!!!
