Off to Vietnam!

Oh felicity! I've never been to Vietnam, but they're sending me there for work on the week of the 26th. I am quite excited, especially since I tried too late to book tickets for the Good Friday holiday on 6th April. I might try to use that time to do something religious instead. The next holiday isn't until Labor Day, so maybe I should try booking Krabi then.

I haven't gotten around to doing the research on Vietnam places to go, as have been very busy with work, but should be able to get around to doing that this weekend. Am staying over the weekend, so there's my chance to do some exploring!

I love this job!

It's really good timing as well, as I had just been thinking that I would love to go off to Vietnam, just to see what it's like - I've also heard nothing but good reviews from the people who have gone.

******************

I just got off the phone with my mum - she and my dad are constructing a new building for the office, and they just had their feng shui master over to look through the place and see if it was properly feng shui-fied. I think its gone well, and hope the construction process is smooth for them - cause you know how difficult constructing something usually is.

Plans for the Weekend:

1. See the National Museum of Singapore - have always been meaning to go, but never have, so maybe its a task for the weekend.
2. Watch "300" - seems a bit too muscly for my taste, but heard interesting reviews so my curiousity has been whetted.
3. Read "Execution" - it's been sitting on my bookshelf for the past year, so I might as well get around to reading the thing.
4. Go to Church/see my Father-Confessor - Haven't been to confession since high school. Might be interesting to go through it again, and do it. Have been thinking about this for some time mainly because of the ideas of renewal and integrity behind it, which is appealing. I think it may be cathartic, and the experience may change my initial views of it being (i) a pointless exercise, as you can't help but sin again anyway, (ii) hypocritical, (iii) painfully embarrassing. But again - it may be another adventure!
5. Go to the gym.
6. Get a haircut/pedicure. The haircut I'm not too sure about. Not too long ago (last January'06), I colored my hair at not-my-usual-salon, and it was the biggest mistake ever. The colorist fried my scalp, so I have been spending the past year just trying to let it grow out. Occasionally, I try to stand in front of the mirror and encourage the follicles to seep keratin in the hopes that this ritual might accelerate hair re-growth. I currently have stubbly "baby" hairs everywhere, but that's a step from where it used to be. Aaah, alopecia. Maybe a trim then. I do need a pedicure though.
