Before & After Designated Leave

I went Bangkok over the designated leave between 23 and 26 January. I finally met up with my Argentinian friend. Although I didn't get the chance to meet up with my Thai friends, I had a great time shopping and eating in Bangkok (if you disregards the horrendous experiences with AirAsia flights). The break has certainly given me a chance to really relax myself. I am eventually on the road to recovery.

I am back at work today, and started my first posting. My current seat is "strategically" right across from the GM. I think he probably noticed I was restless after lunch (with the post-lunch effect and no 'coffee of the day'). Besides the first posting, this morning we had a grand ceremony of "graduation" (from the graduate trainee program). The GM was also there to present a speech and certificates to us. In fact, today seems to be a "fateful day". I even bumped into the GM in the lift this morning. Our meeting was a little awkward. I only noticed him in the corner of the lift when I went in. There was no chance for me to exit the lift. I greeted him "morning" with an awkward tone. Then, when the lift reached the right floor, though I was standing in front of the door, I had to politely let him out of the lift first. And now I will be facing him for at least two weeks till there is available seat for me at my division.
