My Blog_Leah A A: Everything Virgin - 1st Business Trip, 1st SQ Experience

Well, it's not really the first - first business trip since I did go to some "ulu" place in JB to meet a contractor when I was working in events line previously for some setup briefing. But that was a day trip so I wouldn't really call it a business trip :)

And so, I went to Jakarta for a business trip last week. I had to part with my husband for 4 days. Trust me, it wasn't that easy to leave your husband behind even for 4 days when you are so used to seeing each other everyday. I had missed him a lot.

Nevertheless, the trip went pretty well. In fact, I did enjoyed myself with my great bunch of colleagues - the trip was more like a "mini" retreat cum staycation for me rather than a business trip. Hehe. And what's more, I got a chance to fly SQ! The SQ flight experience was awesome and I was like a noob, trying to operate the in-flight entertainment. I was so fascinated by the latest movies they had and wished that I could watch them all or probably download them into my USB drive... yea right, pfft!

My "Virgin" experience in taking SQ :)

We took a cab to our hotel. And goodness gracious, we have not even reach the entrance of Jakarta and the traffic was already heavily jammed. Luckily, me being me, I can fall asleep almost everywhere. So I slept through the 1 hour journey to the hotel. Hehe.

Working in the hotel room really calls for a high level of discipline! I couldn't resist the urge to jump onto my bed and watch TV when I should be working. I really don't understand how my colleague could do just that. Anyway, besides the casual meeting with partners everyday and also the event day, we spent our time feasting on buffet spread, slack in lounges, workout in the gym and chilled in the hotel bar. And the good thing is - everything can be charged to the ROOM! FANTASTIC! I was high on ecstatic when I could order hot chocolate every other time for tea breaks, a privilege which I don't get often in Singapore. Love it, love it, love it!
