My January =D

So you can keep me

Inside the pocket 

of your ripped Jeans 

Holding me closer 

Till our eyes meet

You will never be alone

Wait for me to come home.

I love love love this song. It has been playing in my Spotify premium like a broken record and yet I am still finding the lines between this number so beautiful. 

The final chorus is the most beautiful, simply because it incorporates the harmony of a soft choir to epitomise the ending part of the songs as the songs builds from a simple orchestra to a full-fledged one in the end.

It's a beautiful song, so beautiful it will make the most preferred song in my top love song list.

It has been a wonderful weekend.

Busy, very busy, but I reached the end of both the weekend days with much contentment. 

I only finished packing at 1.30am. 

People think I'm crazy. The traveling has been intense, but for me, at this point, it's a blessing to be able to travel to meet your loved one. And he feels the same too. 

Which is why he took the journey to see me.

People do crazy things when they are in love - Megara, from Hercules the Disney movie.

I cannot attest to that at all. It's so true.

The only thing you cannot recycle is time - upon the mural of Assunta High School. 

Watch the ticking clock and one month has already flashed us by. Ever so quickly. 

Looking back at January, man was it such a hectic month. I remembered looking at my calendar and seeing so many things happen over each weekend.

It started off with us attending Han Siang's wedding. It's funny how I remember during the good old days of yesteryears where both the brothers would come over to wash the car (back then we only have one) and porch too. And now looking at him getting married, boy have we all come a long way. Time for some self-reflection lol!

There was the UNLOCK training, where I have learnt a lot more when I thought I have already learnt all that no need to know to be the excellent salesperson that I am.

This was the time where the Senior Management spoke to us at the rep level to provide to us the insights of what they have learnt in the many years being in this beautiful industry.

And boy, did I learn a lot.

Then there was me doing a lot of running around as I am covering a new area.

And then the next highlight was when we all flew to Penang for one whole week!!! Ahhh it was so awesome really. We stayed at Park Royal Hotel by the beach in Penang. Similar to Meritus Pelangi a Resort in Langkawi last year, this hotel was by the beach side, which I have grown to love silly. Taking brisk walks down the beach and leaving footprints in the sand, hearing the waves crashing as it hits the shores, watching the bright starts when it was night fall, being fed like royalties and sleeping in an ohhhhh-sooooo comfortable bed. What more could I ask for really? My room was a room meant for three people when there were only two of us babes so it was even more comfortable given the extra space we have. Extra one for every thing! Niceeeeee..

 *my huge-ass room*

*dreamy dream dream*

But I was too busy to enjoy the bathtub unfortunately.. Sigh.. 

And ohh! I got rewarded for being the only one to score 100% for exam in the whole of Symbicort team! And later on was rewarded again as one of the most impressive brand presenter as we were being challenged in the Selling Village session, alongside Tristan too!!! =)

 *perfect score babeh!*

*Best presenters*

And then there was that time that both Simon and I were chosen to be the MC for the company-wide event. Goodness gracious me gosh was I ever so nervous! But with minimal preparation, we stormed through the whole journey and it was an awesome experience really. I remember going up on stage and my whole extended team cheered out so damn loud we both smiled til Mississippi! Ohh such a nice feeling to be loved. 

And then the highlight of it all was.. Annual Dinner! 

Went up on Stage, TWICE! 

Last year was such a good good year. So much to be thankful for really. 

And to be awarded recognitions for it, it was another good self-reflection feeling. I felt a lot of endorphins activated throughout the entire time. 

Then we danced the night until midnight in the next ballroom where they made it into a Haloween-like dance floor and we had an unlimited flow of beer..! I had to remain sane as I had an early flight the next day so four pints was as far as I went. It was diluted lah so nothing much kicked in lol. 

At 1.30 am we adjourned to the beach to continue the partaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!! Wheeeeeeeeee~!

So awesome really. So awesome. 

*****************************************

I had to wake up at 7.15am the next day OMG! Super-zombie mode lah of the hangovers and all of that. Coffee after coffee at the airport. Noon flight to Singapore. :)

In Singapore, I shall not forget the cute white guy who helped me out at the station, and the simple bus driver. Honeybunch was surprised so many things happened in one hour. :)

Well, can't blame. Didn't I tell you that your girlfriend is a catch??? Hahahaha! 

January was a good month lah really. :) 

Let's look forward to an even better 11 months ahead! 

Lotsa love.
