I’m going China on Monday!
It was really unexpected. Late morning yesterday, I received a sms from SAM (senior asst. manager) requesting me to call her as it was urgent (it was my off day). I thought she was going to ask me some inane questions, like the other time she called me while I was busy with operations just to ask how to spell ‘dilemma’.
This time, she just told me the company is sending someone to China to recruit more staff and I’m one of those selected! Wah seh! Imagine my surprise. How could I say no to such opportunity for free travel and legitimate reason to escape work (seriously, who cares about the interviews)? Of course my answer was a resounding yes!
‘Ok, good. You’re going on the 24th.’ She informed me.
‘Of May?’
‘Oh no, next week.’
You should see how big my eyes widen. Such haste and I’m totally caught unprepared!
Today, I dropped by HR to iron out the details. I’m not going on the 24th, I’m going on the 23rd instead! By SQ some more! I must have really step hard on some dog shit. After putting my arse on budget airlines’ seats the past few years, I’m finally going to warm a full service airline’s seat! My virgin flight on SQ.
Well, details have it that we are going to Jilin Province for recruitment. Jilin Province, a quick search on the net shows, is just next to North Korea. Now, I really hope no nukes will hit while I’m there. No more than 60 hours till my flight. Hah!

Oh, did I mention we are still on the waiting list for the flight back due to the Golden Week? I hope it stays that way so I'll have free days to explore the place (so long the company don't force me to clear my leave for those days)!
