birthday

hip hip hurray - I am one year older again....

dad in singapore

Dad turned 70 a few weeks ago.
To celebrate his birthday in style we decided that a trip to Singapore was the way to go!
I met up my dad at the airport and there after the sight seeing started.
Dad also got to experience proper heat, Singapore Slings, fish eating his feat and
F1!
The world also proved to be a very small place and my dear friend Tiina stayed at the same hotel as us, so we got to spend some time with her as well!

jet-lag tour

The jet lag journey has begun - Singapore/Sweden/UK in less than 2 weeks time.
22/9 - Singapore - where we will have a client event at the Grad Prix, plus that I'm meeting up with dad (!)as well as regional management meeting.

Thereafter, 28/9, I’m arriving in Sweden for work, celebrate my birthday with my family and hopefully meet up as many of my friends as possible. Also need to do some wedding planning at a few venues.

And my final stop is UK, for a wee bit more work.
Will be back in HK again on October 5.

Tiring, but will be good!

autumn

Over night it was all of a sudden autumn in HK.
Still warm (t-shirt weather) but not scorching hot.
There is a cool breeze outside and no need for air con inside.
We will be able to start having breakfast on the roof top again during the weekends, yay.
Fall I welcome you.

good thought

fruit basket

Got a big beautiful fruit basket from one of my suppliers.
So nice and so good to have healthy snacks an arm length away. Very enjoyable indeed.
Other members of the family thought thought the decorative bow that was placed on the basket when we got it was more enjoyable than the fruit....

dangerous goods

I'm attending a Dangerous Goods course this week.
Who would have thought that a normal ping pong ball would be regarded as a dangerous good. Now I know...

a hidden jewel

I found a to me hidden jewel the other day.
The China Tee Club.
A calm relaxing oasis, away from the bustling streets of Hong Kong.
In one of Hong Kong's few remaining beautiful examples of early 1930's Colonial architecture.
When you walk in there you get swept into an atmosphere that transports you to another era.
Love.
but a very short love, since they have to close down due to a big American clothes chain that is over taking loads of space in this beautiful old building...
If you snooze you loose I guess...

However I am slightly wondering if the Americans will keep the tiles on the floor, if not I will be standing outside ready to collect them as they start to renovate and throw the old interior away!
