Change of plan

Remember I mentioned before that I had booked a holiday tour to Japan?

Well, few days ago, the sales representative of Wyeth has confirmed the incentive trip to Italy. Since I had already booked Japan, I was not keen. The boss can easily sell off his ticket but only on a discounted fare.

Suddenly, yesterday he asked if I could postpone my Japan trip so that I could join the Italy tour. I asked, "Why don't you go?". He replied, "Nay..not keen"

Ok, so I quickly phoned to my travel agent to postpone my Japan trip to May. When my boy heard about the date, he told me that he wouldn't be around at that time.

I had to consider again. I checked with the travel agent and it seemed that I had only a choice to Hokkaido. I was not keen as I would definitely miss the sakura which is my main aim to visit Japan. So I had to skip Japan again. Hopefully next year I will make it.

Hearing that I was planning to visit elsewhere, my second girl wanted to join me as she will be finishing her course in June. So where do you think I will be going in June?

    I would grab free trips first! I am even thinking of transiting Rome or Amsterdam on my way to London. If only I get an incentive trip like you! Lucky WENNderful lady you are.

    Maybe the currency rate of Japan will plunge to lowest next year since they are slowly sliding now.

    Normally as long as it is travel out of my country, I will look forward... but usually I prefer somewhere nearer because I hate to take long flights, so I am left with Asia only, as for Asia, I had been to Korea, Taiwan, Beijing and HK, left Japan I have not visited.

    But Japan is expensive.

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
