I am super packed, literally! My luggage is bursting at the seams! The temperature ranges from five degree celsius to twenty degree celsius, so after packing all my long sleeve tops, track pants and jeans, not to mention a couple of sweaters, my luggage is full! For the first time, I will be wearing a trench coat to keep out the cold, instead of just a mere sweater! At least a trench coat helps to keep my entire body warm (including my legs) rather than just the upper half of my body!
Despite this, I will still be bringing along my usual travel backpack, which will consist of my laptop (I actually have to check my work mails while on vacation! :-(), MP3, books, an extra sweater, my digicam, lip gloss, eye drops and mobile phone. Hopefully it will not be too heavy this time round with the extra things I will be bringing! Oh, and I will be re-reading Lord of the Rings on the plane!
It was also another super packed day today. The thing with people is that they like to do things at the last minute. I have been telling people I will be away from tomorrow onwards for two weeks, and for the past couple of weeks, nothing much gets done. All of a sudden, everything starts coming today, and I was so busy the whole day churning out reports, drafting agreements, sending out emails and meetings with colleagues and clients. Hardly had time to breathe or even go to the washroom, and almost could not make it out for lunch!
Finally I can take a breather! It will be another super packed evening ahead. I am going for another job interview, this time at an offshore firm specialising in petrochemical products. Then to meet my wealth manager (different from my financial planner) to ask him to help consolidate my finances as a new start to the upcoming new year. Then I will need to rush home, shower, do some last minute packing and go to sleep!
Furthermore, I received a message from a friend, saying that my ex's grandfather passed away and the wake will be tonight. I feel so bad about it because I will not have the time to go. So I sent him a message, giving my condolences and apologising for not being able to make it, and he replied to thank me. Why do I have this feeling he is still not that willing to talk to me, even after all these while? And it was not as if I was the one who broke his heart! If I can already treat it as if nothing happened, why not him? Oh well ....
With that, a conclusion to just another day. Off to Maori land tomorrow, I cannot wait for it! Finally I can have a well-deserved break! I am not sure if I can access the net though, despite bringing my laptop along, because I am not sure how much wireless coverage those places have, so if you do not hear from me, I will be back after the ninth November!
