June School Holidays (draft)

With just 2 more weeks to go before the start of the 4 weeks' break, I have finally settled down on my choice of holidays.

Bijun and Zhujun have arrived in HK from Basel. It is so tempting to fly to HK to meet them but I hardened my heart not to do so.

There is NO airfare promotions at all. The economy has picked up and prices for almost everything have gone up except my salary.

I decided to make a short trip to KL. As to what to do in KL, nothing in mind but just relax and laze around the hotel and its vicinity. It may seems a silly way to spend my time & money in this manner but this is supposed to be a break from everything; studies and work.

D will be heading to Beijing and suggested going to States for year-end. Yes, maybe going somewhere far for this year-end. But year-end is still very, very far away from now. Who knows, I may plan another memorable trip to Japan provided the conditions are right.

In this new workplace, besides involved in planning a training programme for the new officers, I have to conduct some lectures for external parties. P has just informed me the schedule for these lectures - right after my vacation leave! This means I have to prepare the lecture notes, tutorials and even the exam papers before I go on leave. In addition, I am involved in some case studies which involved of gathering raw data, sorting them according to the listed criteria, analysing the info before writing the report.

I hope after my holidays, I will feel charged and ready for more challenges.
