Bye London!
My 3 luggages back from London was a whopping 44kg!!! Think I only went with 30kg? The counter guy waived up till 40 kg and wanted to charge me GBP32 for each of the extra 4kg. No way! Took some reference books and lens solution out and got it down to 40kg. I held on to one bag for claiming tax refunds after checking in the 40kg though. After that, I put the books back into that bag. (See, they have already weighed it just now with the other 2.) Had to chuck the lens solution though.
Talking about tax refund, I collected the 3 tax refund forms and kept it properly in my carry-on bag the night before, so that I wouldn't forget any. Or so I thought. Turns out I wrongly took a hotel bill envelope for one of the tax refund forms, and the luggage it was in was already checked in by the time I went to get the refund! That was GBP32 there! Damn, what a mess.
Anyway, it's nice to be home in Hong Kong, but it's not the same without YY here. He's back only next Friday.
Did I mention that my direct reporting manager is now a South Korean middle-aged lady, NK? (She then reports to our regional boss, JT.) Seems to get my heart boiling everytime I receive an email from her. Don't wish to dwell on the past though, I'm sure you will hear more about it if I were to keep updating the blog.
She offered to let me go to S.Korea for a training with the team there next week. I thought "Why not? YY won't be here, and I haven't been to Korea before." So, I'm off again next Tuesday till Friday.

I can't believe it. I was there for 4 weeks and it only snowed before and after?! It's just not meant to me. (For those of you who don't know, I've yet to see snow before and was hoping for some while I was in London.)
