Travel avec moi!

And welcome back to Part 2 of 'First Time as a Business Traveller' post. I know, it has been really long time and it's about time to update with Part 2; but hey, the best things takes time right? Well, I'll let you all be the judge of that. The Next Day.... After my delicious dinner and the some medicine I took from my fancy first-aid kit; I fell asleep like a baby and it did not even take a minute to shut my eyes, the moment my head hit the pillow, I was completely shutted down. I only woke up next day, which was Sunday 26th March '23 with no alarm and I felt well rested all energized but knowing I am having a long day ahead, I decided to order in a healthy breakfast. I am not much of a breakfast person but I am flexible enough to adapt if I am aware of what are the consequences if I do not take care of myself.

I may have travelled as a leisure traveller several times in my life; whether it is with my family or my friends. And it has always been filled with so much excitement and so much to look forward to where basically I was never able to sleep with all the hype.  In 2022, somewhere in November, I was told by my manager that I'll be visiting Manila in 2023 to meet our new team and spend time training & mentoring for one good week.

Once I reached out to the airport and dropped our luggages [ Lucky us the check-in counters were quite empty that night, so a colleague of mine let us check-in at the business check-in counter itself ] we headed off to immigration/emigration section right away and off to have something to drink or grab a small bite.  Our idea of taking a red-eye flight was to have the entire day for us to roam around the city once we land in our destination. Just like that, we found a really good option with Singapore Airlines, which...
