So, I spent the past week in Beijing for a shipping conference, and these are the things i want to remember.
.

1) The hotel was a place to fall in love with. It was a jacuzzi to soak bubble bath in, a princess bed to bury my slumber in and an auto warm up toilet seat to plant my lovely ass in. And forget not, extremely friendly hotel staffs to make a blessed homely stay.

2) I used to call it pretentious, but now i call it soft skills. Having technical knowledge of a profession only brings you to the top of the trees. But having the soft skills to socialise appropriately brings you to another world of opportunities. Friends or business partners, i would like plenty of them in my pocket!

3) When i finally got time to myself, i went clubbing alone. Someone told me the club in my hotel is one of the best in Beijing. This is enough reason to justify taking a peep at it. Since no one was free to join me, i decided to explore it on my own. I queued for 40 minutes (alone) only to realise that hotel guests have priority entry. Yes, blame it on stupidity or whatever. In the end, i found myself dancing with random new friends from Argentina and Africa. How insane but fun is that :)

4) It was my first time taking a transit flight. Unfortunately, flight from Beijing to Guangzhou was delayed for one hour due to the lamest reason. This led to a mad rush for my flight when i land in Guangzhou. In order to catch my flight back to Singapore, i had to literally run across two terminals with 3 Peking ducks on my hand. Trust me, ducks are very heavy creatures.

5) I wrote a thank you card to the boy who came to my room for housekeeping every night at 8pm. He told me how lucky i am to be able to travel and stay in nice hotels. To him, supporting his big family back in their village is the only priority in his life. And he is very happy and contented seeing their happy faces everytime he goes home. So much to learn about contentment :)

Throw me into the ocean, for i know i will not drown.

HELEN. she's a bitch. but a KIND one.
