It's been some time, eh?

My! I just realised I've been away from this page for the longest time - since Sept??? Yes, that's how busy (and lazy) life has been. Work is madness and once home, I crash, pass out...

It's not going to slow down - year-end or not. After an entire week in Shanghai conducting POP training, I dread thinking what's in store tomorrow when I head back to the office. Trip was fruitful. Managed to accomplish other POP items apart from the training. And finally getting to meet and spend time with our Marketing gals in China - they make me feel old. All so young, enthusiastic and energetic. Of course managed to catch up with RO over a nice Italian lunch, and Aik Hong & Noel over dinner :-)

I also just realised my hatchday had come and gone in a flash. No pictures put up even. So this is going to be a "cramp all" post - from birthday to Shanghai.

HATCHDAY

The team bought me a fab Korean birthday lunch at Dempsey (can't recall restaurant name)


With my best friends and God sons :-)

SHANGHAI


A satisfying and relaxing breakfast at Tian Zi Fang - so relaxing I only remembered my camera after breakfast :-)


These 2 are at the same place! Littered with quaint local designer boutiques, cafes and art galleries while plenty of old folks still live above in these 2-3 storey brick blocks. Forget Xin Tian Di in Shanghai, Tian Zi Fang at Taikang Lu is a must-go!


Perfect harmony of old and new.

Chen Yifei's art studio inspired the transformation of Tian Zi Fang.


My home in Shanghai.

Oh! And there's one more photo I adore, taken some weeks ago in the office - that's the day when "North America" showed up in black and white! Kodak moment!


Say cheeeese!
