Back in Singapore

Landed in the morning of 27 Nov and was glad that I could have a day of rest before heading back to the office on Friday. Miss being away immediately because work came piling down even before I reached office.

The first day back in Singapore was spent unpacking at home, clearing emails, and trying to adjust back to the time zone and all. Felt that I have been gone forever even though it was barely for two weeks.

The first day back in the office was rather hectic. The first hour passed by quickly with me getting help from SF and Viv to move my stuff to the new cubicle. Felt funny being in a "new division" due to the re-org, because none of us seemed to know what the new division was supposed to do yet. And then there were more emails to clear, more work to follow up, and at least 4 short meetings to go to. Really trying very hard to do as much as I can!

And managed to go for a short dinner and drinks session with Viv, YC and Fai after work. Was about to give up on that cos was feeling terribly unwell but was glad to be able catch up with YC before he flies off to UK for his course. The bad thing was, after dinner, the pain was so unbearable that I had to ask the cab uncle to stop me at Raffles Hospital. Mr. Jang had to come by and accompany me home after that. Doc said it's stomach virus. :(

Heard about the Mumbai attack when I was back. Felt really sad to learn of the death of the Singaporean hostage. Perhaps it's because of the fact that I just came back from a work trip (Peru was not all that safe as well), and she was about the same age as I am, hence there is this really weird feeling that we were lucky that nothing happened in Peru and we are all back safely. It's really such a horrible thing to happen.

I pray for comfort for the family and friends of the poor girl who got caught in the crossfires of people who were blinded by extremist views.
