Friday madness

Today has been utterly hectic! Calls with the US started from 6am, then I had to dash across Singapore to a client event we were hosting at some offices on the other side of town. During the event we basically spend four hours handing out and gathering business cards from clients who had been tempted out to see us with the alluring smell of freshly made sweet and savoury crepes.

Of course, we had to try one or two, just to ensure that they were up to standard and as delicious as required! It would have been rude not to, and it’s all in the name of research to see whether we will be using the company again in the future of course.

After a crepe overdose I had to dash back to the office for a few more meetings before going to host a lunch with clients at another office. From there the rest of the team were going to be taking a group of 50 over to the river to run some Dragon Boat Racing event for the rest of the afternoon.

Sadly, I had calls and an early exit from the office planned as this weekend we will be flying over to Kota Kinabalu, Borneo, as my birthday present to Nick. Initially I had booked us into a fabulous hotel on one of the distant islands where there would have been very little to do other than sleep, swim, sun, eat and kayak, but we discovered last weekend that our friends boat is in the marina over there, so instead of the expensive hotel we’re camping on-board in the marina for the weekend.

I am not sure what the weather is supposed to be like, or whether we will be doing much other than lounging on the deck of the boat (either in the marina or at sea), but it should be a lovely weekend in the sun, and I can’t wait! Hooray for the end of the working week!
