Back to normal

It has been 2 weeks since I got back from the land of the rising sun. Finally can say that I'm back to my normal/mundane routine - wake up, eat, go to work, sleep. How boring...

Work is back on track, managed to clear most of the mails and projects are slowly picking up pace after close to 1 month being away from office. Received some not so good news that the "employee of the year" will be managing the EDL landings, so I had to make sure that this person does not stick his/her leg into the project and claim credits at the end of the day. Luckily the person will only manage landings from Q3 onwards and PG is safe from his/her evil doings. So I had to ensure that PG completes landing in Q2. So far everything is on track...wish my good luck.

Secondly, I need to start my weekly badminton sessions again. And no, I don't mean just going for 2 hours of games. This will not help me to loose weight...I need real practices! I need to sweat it out. I need to carry on with my so called "weight reduction program", which I think does not exist?! Anyhow I've reached my first milestone, reaching the second milestone seems so hard...gambate!

Thirdly, I am still seating on the fence, procastinating as to whether I should or should not do a stop over in Japan on my way back from US on my upcoming trip, considering the fact that I just came back from Japan 2 weeks ago! But what the heck, you just need to pay RM66 for the stopover as compared to forking out RM2.5K for the airticket yourself. Don't intend to stay too long as my leave is limited due to the planned year end holidays (11 days of leave required!), maybe just 3 days in Japan for the stopover. So will now need to look for some places nearby Tokyo or Narita for the stopover. Anyone has suggestions? Gifu or Takayama looks nice, but dont know how far is the travelling time from Narita.

Forth, look out for my travel logs of Japan later on...slowly but surely it will be posted up. :)

Fifth, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara here I come!!!! Weeeeee....anyone wanna join? Date, month, year, budget - a big ? muahahah...
