Flying to Beijing in a few hours time. Its the first time the whole family is travelling overseas together. (I wasn't able to join them during the last 2 trips) But... somehow I feel like the trip was planned at the wrong timing.

I doubt I will be able to enjoy the trip without having to vex over certain matters.

Work... Handed over the outstanding work to Celine. Feeling really bad to make her settle the messy flight bookings I left over. Worried if I have missed out anything. Not forgetting the year end party (I've only managed to gather the attendance). I've maxed my ability to complete as much as possible today. =X

Personal matters... Sorry for not being there when you needed a listening ear. I know you don't want us to worry for you. But seeing you cry makes us even more worry about you. Please pick yourself up okie. I hope you would be feeling better when I return.

Things happened too quickly for the past months. Oct and Nov swept past in a blink of an eye. First it was JCS exams, then JLPT, then the trip tomorrow. I didn't have much rest even up till now. Anyway all this rush was worthwhile after receiving this letter. *points downwards*



The invitation letter to JCS graduation ceremony. Receiving this letter means I passed my paper! (It's a miracle! The papers were god damn tough lor!) Even though momo as already told me I've passed (she had insider info), I couldn't believe it till I receive the letter today. Hmm... lilely to be another 'hui huang' result.

Yeah! This year's graduate ceremony is abit more high class. It's at Carton Hotel! (very unlike last year's) Of course I going for the free food! XD

The book that kept me awake for the past few nights (besides the nights I mugged for JLPT). Very chim but very interesting. His first few chapters always comes with chim terms that requires me to re-read the paragragh a couple of times before understanding what it means. Yes... my english is that horrible. (eeks!)

The mess from all the last minute packing. The open luggage is mine. Not a pink fan but surprising lots of pink stuff inside. =O

Shit! I think Tricia mentioned about me during the management meeting. All of the sudden, the top management seems to know about me being able to understand Japanese.

1) VP approached me to help out with the tele-conference with some Japanese High School Students from HQ in Japan last week. I didn’t get to use a lot of Japanese though. =/

2) Today, the President approached me to help out with his scheduling. He was quite ambiguous when he explained what he wants me to do. But I think he wants me to translate his schedule from Japanese to English and then upload it to our system. Anyway he said he will brief me again some other time.

The point is that my Japanese isn’t really proficient and I can’t afford to offend any of them (even though they are really friendly most of the time). So I guess I’ve got to start working on my written and conversational Japanese from now on.

Working in a Japanese firm isn’t easy, especially when you get to receive this sort of ‘bomb’ each day. If I manage to pass JLPT 2 this year, I’m not going to tell anyone in the company. Well, I highly doubt that I can pass JLPT 2 anyway. I’ve barely started on my study!

I feel so paralyzed at work when both Tricia and Kuwabara are not around. There are so many matters I can only process with their approvals. But Kuwabara will only return the day before I fly and Tricia will only be back on the day I’m flying. How to get things done like that?! Damn sian lah…
