You know, it's really good to be home! ^^
The past four days were exciting and extreme, was like on roller coaster rides and going on Ecstasy. Well, of course, in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. (Somewhere with no roller coasters and estacys).
My very first event overseas, learnt alot, it was a wonderful experience for me. Met new people, worked with people from a well known company in the IT industry. The event ended successfully,with alot of anxiety. I'm thankful that it went smoothly and all of us came back safe and sound. Many incidents occurred which are too long to be typed out, but it was really a good chance for me to gain experience.
Learned that I should me more initiative in handling certain situations and I should be more confident in making my own decisions when plans were not going accordingly. Perhaps being a Singaporean has made me independent on systems compared to people of other countries. I have gained a higher level of understanding the coordination between hotels, travel agencies and many other companies.
Other than the event, this trip also gave me a chance to enrich in the Sabah tribes and learned alot about the Sabah culture. Sabah is a nice place, just started developing but a little run down. The scenic views were really captivating and the tribes there shares a rich tradition. Watched their cultural dance, bamboo dance and the blowpipe shooting. Went up to mount kinabalu, about 3000ft above sea level. This time I traveled up via coach, would like to walk up to the peak the next time I visit for a holiday.
Visited the Kampong, saw WILD CHICKEN running around. Like real KAMPONG CHICKENSin the WILD!! I was like running around with the chickens so that I can take a photo of it! The villagers were starring at me with wide eyes. Haha. I think I looked like some idiot to them.
Anyway, seafood there is cheap and fresh, vegetables served there were all grown on the mountains there by the villagers, the weather there is really good and the hotel service was of first class. Well, I still miss my own home, own country and my own bed. xD
What a trip! Now I am really exhausted. Finally understood what it means - It's good to be home. Gotta start packing up and head to the states! Prolly leaving on the 17th or earlier. Have to shop for coats and warm clothing.
Took plenty of photos, will upload them when it's ready. It's still in the office being processed into CD-Rom for our guests. Will be uploading them when it in my hands. Hehehe.
Treasure every chance to be adventurous, watching something and doing something can be very different.Our Endless Love<3
