around the world

had department lunch and the project consultant was invited to join us since today's her last day. at first we planned on going somewhere else but the place was fully book that we decided to go here instead. furthermore when they said it was a french buffet i immediately agreed on the 2nd choice. chicken rice, noodle, fish, chicken - what french buffet? apparently the desserts are the french buffet - lol. anyway it was nice having lunch while noticing we started at one side and ended at another place. it was funny when jn was going to the buffet table without realising the our table is no longer on the left but the right side that she turned to the wrong side.
lunch aside, i took this opportunity to talked more with mich, 'cos all this while i only chatted with her through sametime and if we were to meet most of the time we talked about the project. we were talking about the 25 days of leave i still have and about our plan next year since we're still not allowed to take leave unless it's important this year. i was talking about greece when she excitedly said she too was interested to go there. then i asked about her being stewardess before. it was fun that she managed to travel around the world except for greece, turkey, and spain. she did make a good choice of resigning from her then position to be a stewardess for 2 years before joining the corporate again while her market value was still high. the reason was that during business trip she couldn't really do travelling so before she exceeded the age limit of joining SQ she decided to give it a try. she told me about the ups and downs of being a stewardess, the grooming stuff which didn't change her at all *she's so very simple yet elegant*, the back problem stewardess normally have, the travelling once touched down, and lots of stuff. it was surely fun though she too said you have to be matured before entering that world - i know what she means. now that the project is done, she's planning on taking a break before starting another project. i asked on how she got all this project and she said so far she's been lucky though she's thinking of joining the corporate again. hmm, a marketing manager turned stewardess turned project consultant turned whatever she's doing next. what a lucky girl!!

mood: annoyed that the vendor is still not here!! oh my prison break :\
