ulaanbaatar is the capital of mongolia built at its present location in 1778. prior to this, the capital city had moved from place to place more than 30 times. the city of Ulaanbaatar covers the area of 1,359 sq. km, estimated population is abt 609,000 people in this city.
~hee~ i opened this market for AIT Academy... my baby! was up there for 4 days..yes, another student recruitment drive in collaboration with People & Services., Ltd, led by Mr Baterdene T. & Nyamaa S. *Ummm* i must mark the seminar a success as we got a overwhelming turn out of 75 interested students.. another 15 who came the second day for interview!
we too had our fun.. ~yeeks~ many people who visited Mongolia ravel about very eventful night life in Ulaanbaatar. bars, night and dance clubs are great, probably because some 65-70 percent of the Mongolian population is younger than 30 years of age. One thing though: there is a very strange habit in most of the clubs that at one point of the night a strip performance will be given. I guess so far there is no clear understanding that night club is a rather different concept from a strip club. my rating: a must go, although I would suggest that you have a Mongolian friend next to you.
CHINGGIS KHAAN HOTEL * * * * *
The leading hotel in Ulaanbaatar. Located downtown, within easy reach of the main tourist attractions and the business center of the city. 30-minute drive to the International airport and 15-minute drive to the railway station. 182 comfortable rooms: 140 standard singles and doubles, 40 suites, 2 presidential suites. All rooms feature private bathroom, air conditioner, color satellite TV, international direct-dial telephone, mini-bar. 24-hour room service. Security service.
I also will not forget Tuul, who send me off to the airport.

me still in my pink of health, no bird flu..no fever!
i had a blast of a time alright... saigon is a bustling place, filled to the brim with new found capitalism and enthusiasm! u sure find tremendous excitement and energy everywhere, from the crazy Grand Prix traffic to the energetic buying and selling in Ben Tanh market *heehee* of coz, me received a culture shock on my first day there.. nothing prepares you for the traffic flow, not the crazy conditions in Manila nor the jam-packed streets of Bangkok.. was nearly mowed down by an exodus of motorbikes and honked at by countless of drivers. thks god i returned with all my limbs intact! if not, i'll have to join a beggar syndicate. Also, the feeling of travelling alone sucks! got to do the exploring HCMC by myself. most of the locals there mistook me as Japanese men! everybody spoke to me in Japanese. So, after being KONNICHIWA-ed and KOMBANWA-ed for countless of times, i learned to take it like a pro with a polite smile ~grin~ by the second day. I'll still say HCMC is safe but it takes some time getting used to.
The highlights of my business trip were foodie adventures...*yummy* Missed alot of places of interest in HCMC like, slow boat to Mekong Delta, squeezing inside a dusty tunnel in Cu Chi & haunted Rex hotel...
i didnt fotographed my experience tats y i am penning this down! till then, i look forward to my next trip.

touched down Nha Trang at 11:40hrs... this city is simply beautiful! life here is so relaxed with so many beach resorts... i will definately visit this place again with sharon. ~oh ya~ the iced cofy here is simply nice lor...

recently been patronizing balaclava, very often crowded.. to look for my new found love hoegaarden, the forbidden fruit ~Hoegaarden is the authentic Belgian wheat or white beer. It has a unique and extremely complex brewing process whereby the brand is first top fermented and then is refermented within the bottle - ending up in a unique cloudy-white appearance. The brand's unique appearance is mirrored by its one-of-a-kind taste - sweet and sour beer with a little bitterness, slightly spicy, with a strong touch of coriander and a hint of orange, perfect for warm summer days, instead of other refreshing beverages. Refreshing, a little quirky, and decidedly different - naturally.
was there with eric, syl & leah.. ah boy joined us shortly after. ryan broke off with cheryl, supposed to keep him accompany at mw but he not there.. ..guess who's there then? ~hee~ 2 pretty ah lians! irene,who literally smack me on my chest! *shock* was introduced to adeline later. on the phone with her after i reach millpoint..

i am actually concern for her.. maybe prayer is the only way i can offer a helping hand.

i have gone thru where you're going thru rite now, pls take care!

my last day of service with the local marketing team..
frankly, it is worth all the while to experience with AIT’s dynamic Locals team for the past 5 months. as the saying goes, if it’s not a stressful job, it’s not worth taking up any challenges. We did and ride the sea together. it is the most, choppier sea to compare with any organization that i've been with and definitely the most happening colleagues around. to all of them, it's more than just a friend. the cell group and the karaoke are unforgettable. teasing people & gossips are just a terrestrial task, those fun that all of us had was indeed a tale to tell. FreeEEEE! our lingo will live on…*haha*
eric, in a wink we have known each other for more than 3 years. and even our ex-colleagues that see us together nowadays are surprised to see we are still so close after so many years. i guess its fate that brought us together again! he is a capable & reliable man, thank you for being there as a friend as well as my bas'
joelle, what can i say about this 'young' lady that i first interviewed at stamford foyer on the 27 March 04. at first impression, i knew i had the right person. and over time, she showed that my judgement in her was right.
teresa, ~aiyo~ this lady i dreaded most to work with initially, but never did i expect things will turn out this sweet! her sharpness, spotting mistakes impress me.. keep that spirit going! we did have conflicts; well i guess time healed us. last thing to wish for is to see her do a preview closing *hee*
wang jing, forever kenna ARROW! @%$#&^# all of them man! I sure Ryan can take care of her *no worries* my advice to her "add a little closing on top of your sincerity" i wont be surprised to see another TOP SALES!
now that i have left the local team and out on our own, i wish the best to all of u! each & every of us are facing our own set of problems but in life, change is the only constant. we encounter changes everyday! live to the fullest & learn to adapt... certain change are beyond our expectation.

international markets, here i come!

it was supposed to be 56th months anniversary today! the exact same thing happened to me laz year... *so crapy* first the KL trip, then when we are back.. she left! both times in August.. can anyone believed it? *aiyo* it must some kinda 'déjà vu'!

~the term déjà vu (French: "already seen", also called promnesia) describes the experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously. the experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eerieness" or "strangeness". The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past~

i am blogging it down today so tat this moment will stay by my side always...
we have been together for more than 4 years and we have gone through thick and thin all these while. we had separation and reconciliation, we had quarrels and laughter, we had tears and smiles...thinking back we both behaved like kids day in day out...but i think what was very crucial in our relationship was we both played our parts in giving in to each other's temper, character and bad habits.. in that i really appreciate her all these while... she play a very important role in my life? without her, i have lost my direction in life.. basically i lost everything! On the 26th of January 2000, the day, that moment she decided to walk my life with me! it was also a very cold morning, we were both drenched, on my bike heading home. Situation was as bad then but we hung on... juz couldnt understand why now?
