Back from Vietnam

I'm back! Yes I've survived another round of "battle". Can't believe it's been a year when last year's experience is still fresh in my mind. And we fondly remember the wonderful 8-day France trip which was the result of the overloaded stress.

Left for Hanoi on 13th May morning. That afternoon, hubby's ah gong passed away (we visited him the day before I left) & I wasn't able to attend the funeral. Felt truly bad about it but thankfully, I have very supportive hubby & very understanding inlaws.

Returned from HCMC on Fri. So glad & relieved that everything's over.

This year's was much better for me as things were more or less in place when I left for the trip. Had very successful press conferences (attended by nearly 30 reporters & 2-3 tv stations) in both Hanoi & HCMC.. so far it's the 1st that I've handled with such overwhelming response. Had very good attendance for the cocktail parties too.

A group pic after the HCMC event at Park Hyatt Saigon.. to wrap up the week's program. From left: boss, the Vice President, External Dept Mgr, me & the Area Mgr (whom I'm working closely with). As you can see, am swamped in a group of.. erm.. men with seniority. So you know how fun it can be for me ;)
