Work trip to Kuala Lumpur!
Saturday, May 2, 2015
It's been such a long time since I logged on here! Guilty as charged.
Was whisked off to Kuala Lumpur and Xiamen for work over the last 2 months (late March and late April) which leaves very little time for other things in-between.
Unfortunately, I don't have any photos to show of the amazing KL city but I do have MANY shots of the hotel and serviced suites I stayed in. Yup, that shows how boring my work trip was - most of my time was spent indoors. Hahaha!
Okay in all...

Decks of budget have been signed off (well except for 1 to 2 outstanding ones...) and the weekend is here!! Friday has not smell this good for a really long time.
Icing on the cake?
I've got a new blog header! :) It's like getting a new blog template and there is new found interest to update this virtual space more often.
Off to watch 'The Judge' with the boy and smell the first good (i.e free from reading all that budget memorandums and crunching financial statements) weekend...
Ermhmmm...Hello!

It's been so long since I last logged in that I almost can't remember my password. Almost. And obviously the first thing I did upon logging in was to attempt to change the blog template and now my header is gone. Booooo. Now I have to go locate back that header..
A lot has been going on at work with 2 new senior management folks joining us in early August - right smack in the season of the budget period. Madness will continue till mid October, which is about a week away!
I cannot wait for the...
Yet another hiatus
Sunday, October 20, 2013
First up - a huge thank you to all those who still bothered to pop by for an update! I've been so busy at work that switching on my computer while at home is really the last thing I want to do.
So that pretty much explains the hiatus.
September flew by so quickly, more so for the first half of October! What do you mean it's already 20th of October? Last few weekends were spent trying to stay away from work emails (failed miserably) and fitting meetings with friends in-between. The end...
3,4 and 5
Thursday, August 1, 2013
So after 3 hours of flight delay (where we were sitting in the plane waiting for what felt like eternity), 4 inflight movies and 5 hours of flight time, I managed to get myself in one piece back to Singapore.
At 3.30am in the morning.
I'm sitting in the office now, exhausted beyond words. Clearly 4 cups of coffee can only do this much.
Not sure how I'm going to make it through the Bahasa Indonesian class tonight but I'll tr...
Hello there!

5 days in Xiamen, 1 day in Shanghai and 2nd day in Suzhou - finally at the last leg of my corporate travel! Other than the crazy heat (it's 38 degrees today but really feels more like 45), Suzhou is a delightful city to be in.
Turning in early now so I can gym and go for early meeting tomorrow.
Good night world :) Hope your week as been as amazing as mine :)

Work in on a Saturday
Saturday, June 29, 2013
Stepped back into office post lunch today and found 2 of my team mates already at their work stations. Flash back of consulting days.
Hope everyone got an awesome list of activities lined up for the weekend! Now back to work.

Work has been extremely busy. My new intern just joined us this week and I have yet to dream up things for him to do. Oh to think managing interns was supposed to be fun - you know like lording over people and stuff! Hahaha. But I need to structure things for him to be involved in and observe if he's actually doing a good job, whether he's enjoying them et cetera. Steve started his stint with us last week and we have been working many hours together trying to get him up to speed as fast as we can.
I'm...
Curious case of the tired Hui
Thursday, March 21, 2013
Roar.
I've been crazily tired these days I'm hardly functional in the hours after work. So that means I'm SO behind on my Running Man episodes, SO behind on my revision of my Bahasa Indonesian lessons, and barely there in terms of my training for my Sundown Half Marathon. Not to mention I fall asleep at random corners of the house PRIOR to having a shower or brush my teeth. Gross. Thank god someone always bother to wake me up.
I have no idea why I'm so tired as well - though I have an extremely...
Jeering rights
Thursday, February 14, 2013
There's some sort of a running competition going on in office between my SVP and his two regional directors. Every morning, they would log on to their Nike + app/account to compare how many kilometres they have clocked.
Running practices of course goes on privately so they could one-up someone within the team and brag about it the next morning.
"It's all about bragging rights isn't it?" I asked.
"Oh no. It's JEERING rights." said my director.
Men and their egoes. Hahaha...
Ohhh yeahhhh

Best news at work today - my boss passed me his registration for an investment conference in March! Small thing but I've been looking to go to this annual conference for the longest time!
Small victories ftw :)
I promise some substantial blog updates soon. Work and life in general has been ridiculously busy :)

Good day
Wednesday, January 16, 2013
I've been waking up to ridiculously good mood these few days and I have no explanation for it. Maybe it's the lack of sleep or maybe it's having too many cookies at work. Or maybe there's no real reason at all. Hahahaha.
Just got my new laptop at work and everything is smooth like butter. The screen is amazing too. I can't wait to finish all my papers and models! Hahaha. I'm feeling extra productive today too. Maybe I will bring the new baby home and have some fun customizing it.
As you can tell,...
The Pierce Brosnan conversation
Tuesday, November 6, 2012
SVP: Did you guys watch the James Bond movie last night on Channel 5?
Director: Yup. It's the James Bond season these days.
SVP: You know I used to look like Pierce Brosnan when I was younger.
(Director and I went into fits of uncontrollable laughers)
SVP: It's real! Go ask around the office and at least 40% will tell you I resemble Brosnan in my younger days.
Director: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Please Dean. Don't disappoint yourself so early in the morning.
God did I mention how much I love this group of...
Making of a good boss
Friday, October 5, 2012
I caught my analyst dozing off at his desk so I woke him up and told him to go take a smoke. I blamed it on the heavy lunch I made him eat with me. Hahaha.
And apparently that makes me a good boss. Hurhur.

F1 Weekend!
Sunday, September 30, 2012
This is such a belated post. I'm totally up to my eyeballs with work on weekdays and catching up with my friends on weekends (lest I become friendless by the end of the year haha). Healthy lifestyle is me these days - sleeping before 11pm on weekdays and sometimes even earlier on weekends! Hahaha. The downside is I end up waking up really early and annoying everyone at home that is. Hurhur.
Maybe I will pick up cycling soon (besides my crazy Yoga and Pilates classes) so I can take my overwhelming...
