29 May 2008 @ 1:58 AM
incredible india!
i was initially feeling skeptical bout my bangalore trip but when i was on the plane, i knew it's gonna be a good start.
mom and dad were great! we had dinner for their 30th wedding anniversary and they sent me off at the airport. so loved!
it's almost 12am local time (2am singapore time!) but i'm feeling exhausted and completely drained. looooong day today as i was up since 6.30am, meetings till 2pm before i took awful lunch, which lamb described it as rainbow lunch since it's all in yellow, green, orange, red, white etc. he always know how to lighten me up with his funny yet innocent thoughts. meetings resumed till 6pm and attended an event till 8ish and spent rest of the night talking like a social butterfly.
wanna introduce some great folks that i'm supporting/working very closely with. to protect their identity (or rather myself), i shall give them fictitious names!
1. humi-san - very important person as she is my boss and whom she took me out of infor!
2. jon - the french sales VP for AP south. now why the name cos i thought he has the hair of garfield's owner but of course, charismatic looks but it's the jon hairstyle!
3. shrek - great guy from israel who takes care of TH and VN. he really resembles the shrek - the features, his size but of course he's white! oh, and very kind-hearted just like shrek. HA!
4. lao beng - this singaporean guy taking care of countries like SG, MY, PH and IND. very typical kiasu fella and that's how he has been awarded for the nick!
i'm really well-taken care of in this trip. mr shrek is sweet, very thoughtful to always stay around me and telling me things bout the company, making sure i'm ok. we clicked pretty well and like within 2 hours of chat, i had a good background of his personal life! all his women, how he loves sex and how much he stays away from singaporean gals which he thought we are a bunch of conservative freaks who never have the word 'sex' in our dictionary and how our government is watching our every move! hahaha! it's hilarious and fun talking to the angmohs as they are very LIBERAL and OPEN to talk about anything under the sun and has interesting views on things.
first day in bangalore is kinda fun and i'm not too worry bout stuff. mr shrek said i'm a lucky charm - new airport is only 3 days old, weather is great and accommodation and food are well-taken care of since it's the trip together with jon's bosses! hahaha!
i'm beginning to like working here, especially with support from my babes and friends who gave me endless encouragement knowing i can do it and lamb said he loves my card and title! aww.. GAMBATE!
i missed taking pictures of 8 men standing in a row on the streets peeing! i'll try harder tomorrow. meanwhile, i'm left with my 5mins and i'm gonna upload my room pics and update more tomorrow! CIAO!
