The BIG news...

I opened up my posting letter from the HR Department.

According to the letter, Mrs B “wish[es] to inform [me] that [I] will be posted to a particular office with effect from 22 May 2006.”

The information is still very raw. I know nuts about the place. I was never there before although I have a couple of friends who had been.

Dr Wong says I should introduce myself to a Mrs Suzanne, who is an old friend and ex-colleague of hers. I also know a couple of others during my diploma years.

Other than that, I am anxious as hell (if hell ever gets anxious, which they probably do, since kingdom come is coming soon, or so I heard... see I am digressing, a sign of stress...).

Anyway, I've started unpacking. I think one of the best buys in Thailand this time is my box load of local foodstuff. While unpacking from my large, checked-in luggage, I realized that the people (i.e. Phuket? JetStar? Changi?) who handled my luggage (newly bought in Phuket) broke the handle assembly. Now I have to try gluing it back with epoxy. Although I have a good mind to get a spanking new beautiful one from Samsonite (costs about S$200) with the same capacity and features as the one the airport porters broke.

my trip to Phuket this time got me addicted to Thailand's porn...

they broke my beautiful beer glass... sob...

But what is most painful are the irreplacebles they broke - my special edition Phuket souvenir mug from Starbucks and a Weihenstephan 0.5l beer glass (whose draught by the way is delicious - a sparkling beer with a wonderful taste of plums that seems to dance on your tongue). Tsk...
