The first flight across overseas without honey. I was sitting alone on this plane still trying to figure out what had happened. Trying to make sense of the true reality.  The reality that me and K will be in two different place in the world missing each other.
The cabin is full and the business class is full too. Yet, somehow the seat next to me is vacant and it seems like to telling me something. Missing honey sitting next to me on this flight to HK, the flight to Swiss.

My first business class experience ever and it taste like a 5 star hotel with welcome drinks, endless people coming around giving you all sorts of things.  Entree - Main -  Dessert served across 3 hours.
I nearly forgot that I was already on this flights for almost 6 hours already.  Guess it would be anouther three hours to go before I landed in HK airport to meet Mum and Sister.

Everytime, I was on a trip on my own, I always wanted that Kevin will be here, next to me to share my experiences, to share my happiness..... I think he will be delight on Business class too.... hahaha....
I wonder if he already woke up playing raid with others online and wonder if Dad already start cooking.  How about Mini? What is she doing right now? Is she sleeping? Does she even notice that I'm gone and will not be back for 8 months?

I miss you Kevin, already so badly....I have to be strong. I have you in my heart with me, around the world.  I love you honey. Love you so much!!

Finally arrive at Zurich Airport, I have to confess I was shock by the cold wind blow into my face when I step out of the cabin. I can feel that my hands turns cold right away. I was trying to look for my gloves but I couldn't find them. I wonder how cold will it be when I actually stand on the street.
There is quite a lot of chinese on the plane as well. But strangly, I couldn't find any of them on my flight to Geneve which I originally thought there should be many.
I gather my brave to start a few short French sentance, but I think most of the people in Zurich speaks German. I'm still trying to figure out how to ask for a train ticket to Vevey when I arrive Geneve.
I hope the train station is not that far away from the airport so that I could walk there and save a penny.
During the flight I saw a very nice Bulgari ring shine in front of my eyes and it cost about $300EURo. I am still thinking, may be I should get one for myself... hahaha.. my devil is telling me "go get it" while my Angel is telling me "NO, you have to save $$"
I finally saw two chineses student speaking cantonese walk pass me looking for a seats but they murmuring and walk away.

I start observing people in the way they dress and trying to see if i'm adapted in there style of dressing in Swiss. I think I"m allright except my legs are cold.
Yet, thanks for the sheep skin boots, my feets are extremely warm along with my body as well. 
Should I wandering around for before I borad onto the flight again n about 30 minutes?  Ther should be a lot of things to explore here.
May be I should walk around and find myself a toliet first since I really wanna go pee.

I sent a msg to Kevin as soon as I tuoched down and vry happy that he had been expecting my msg for a while. I wonder what he is doing right now?
I miss you too , honey.

Ok, lets go for a walk!! Talk to you later love!   

Well, I finally arrived - Vevey, the place were I will stay for the following 2 years of my assignment. The flightis exhausting and I feel very thankful that I can actually sleep flat on the seat.  I was my first flight with Business Class ever. I know it sounds stupid, but it was really nice : D 

I met Mum and Sister in HK for dinner and I continue my 12 hours journey to Zurich. I saw snow all over the place. It's only take 30 minutes frm Zurich to Geneva then I hopped onto the train to Vevey.  I had too pull my very heavy lugguage onto the train and find myself a seat next to the window. 

I dragged myself with all my lugguage to the Hotel and it's about 5 minutes walk from the train station. The first thing I do is to get on the net and see if I can get ontoWow..... Unfortunately, the free internet block gaming website :(  Had a quite chat with Kevin and I ran downstairs for a walk.  I need to find my way to work.  The town was quite small.. since everything is centralized in the middle of the town, there is only one shopping centre in here but they have KOOKAI, H&M, some other european brand... No luck in walkin into the mall since they closed on Sunday.  The living standard is extrememely high as a instant coffee from the machine cost me 3 sFr... which is about $4 AUD per a small cup.  Everything is v expensive here. Normal meal cost at least $16 sfr. @.@

I managed to get into the local supermarket here and get a few bread (2.60 Sfr) and some instant noodles (1.70Sfr), which is ok.  Of course I will eat normal food but not that often since I really want to save $$ to buy a house in Melb :D But I promise I wil eat at least a proper breakky and Lunch :D

Dad eye surgery is set and booked and it will cost about $5500 fo two eyes. Mum said very expensive and told me if I still got any $ left but I think it's totally worth it since it's in Oz and everything is certified which compares to China is much better.

Oh well, I'm still in Jet lag.... sleep la.. nite nite

In about 3 more hours and I will depart to Switzerland for work.  There is a mix of emotion going on in me atm.  Finally got everything packed into my lagguage and I hope I can also squeeze my carry on lagguage into the checked lugguage.  Daddy already woke up so early that I heard him walking around the living room and practicing Taichi out in our Driveway.  I made myself a cereal breakfast and save my favourite Kevin's home made coffee to last.   Mini is stilling walking around not sure if she aware that I am leaving Oz today for 2 years and wouldn't be able to see her again in 8 months. I know that I will miss K very much but I don't dare to even mention it as  I know I will definately start crying. lol

Thanks for the farewell dinner and your presents guys.... I will miss all of you too ^^

I"m about to turn off my laptop and do a final check.

 

P.S s2 Polaris - Your heart will fly with me and my heart will always stays with you! Let's work hard for our future =)

 

Until then, laterguys !

 

 7 days later, I will depart AUS for my two year assignment around the world. It was kind of excited and kind of sad.  Excited is because I'm heading for my next stage of my career being working in my company Head Quarter, travelling around the world visit different countries and able to meet different kinds of people, learn their cultures and understand how business model work in those areas.  Sad is because I'm living my families, my friends, my lovely daughter - Mini dog.  I believe there will be a lot of things for me to learn, I will grow and step up on the corporate ladder, a journey to become want I dreamed of......

Kevin, I understand that why you let me go for this opportunity is bcos you think that is best for my career, for my future. For this, I"m very thankful for all the support you had gave me to tell me "I should go for this".  I'm sure this is also an opportunity for you to prove that we can have a much even better life than the one that we are having right now. I trusted in you and will let you decide the choice that you wanna be, that you wanna go.   I know you will!

People had started to ask me about how are we gonna to make it for the 2 years. We always very confident and tell others that, it's okay for us, cuz we trusted each others; plus, this is not the first time we are apart in two different part of the world. Last time, he was in China for his business and so that we have to separate for 1.5 years, so 2 years wouldn't be a problem at all. Our marriage and love is STRONG!

We had arguments and we had laughters. We learnt to trust and treasure each other.  All these......8 years of knowing each others and 3 years of marriage makes our bond hold strong together.

I had finally start to pack my stuff in my new lagguage, thanks Johnny and Holly for that and I'm sure that you two will be with me for the coming 46 weeks of a year in hotel and travelling around different places. :)

My new Dell XPS has also arrived so that I'm sure that I can still be on WoW when I'm  in overseas, heee..... Oh well, Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!

These days I gradually receive more and more information about my next role in Switzerland. Last week, I've recevied a welcome pack from our Swiss HQ with information in regards to Trains, Hotel, Bank, Laptop, mobile phone, business card etcetcetc.... Apart from that, I also received a surprise Happy Bday note from my future manager, I think he's called Ricardo.  As time moving closer and closer, I try very hard to tell myself not to think about that I'm leaving soon but I can't resist.  I can't stop thinking Will I perform well in this new role? What will I learn? Who will I meet?  K always keep reminding me our days together till I left and I feel quite sad about it. I always told him that the company will provide flight back to my home country every 6 months and he can come to visit me if he wants too.....Does anyone know any lugguage brand is good? Light and durable? I am considering to get one....

Some of you may wonder what am I going to work in Swistzerland, let me brief give you a glance on what I do:

I work as a international internal auditor, travel around the world to ensure local companies are follow with our set rules, policy and procedures and give recommendations on how things can improve. Each assignment is 3 months period which I will brief and debreif in Swiss before we go on a team of 3-5. Then we fly out to the destination country then travel to various plant, office in different states. The work hours will be hectic as I will be working at least 12- 15 hours at least per day, sometimes weekends.  I will be living at least 44 weeks on a suitcase and spending most of my time on the plane.

Life has suddenly way out of plan as I never had this role be a part of my life planning.... Now I had to fit it into the plan, but I dunno what will I do after 2-3 years, which countries will I be working in? How about having a baby in 3-4 years time, when should I buy a house, where should I buy the house.. everything is suddently so unclear and I feel so uncomfortable as it's unclear.... sigh... anyway..... ..... .....

My uncle said this is not good as I'm not a boy, cus career should be less important to a women as it cost your relationship or sometimes marriage.  I understand what he means, yet, I feel strong about our relationship, we will walk through this together... I know. we will!   

我離開墨爾本的日子已經定下來了。

3/1/2009 飛瑞士

不知不覺距離我們短暫分開的日子也越來越近。

幸好公司讓我每半年回來一次，日子也不會那么的難過！

謝謝公司給我的機會， 謝謝你給我對我說 “這個機會很難得，必要去闖闖！”

很難得我身邊有那么支持我的你，

兩年。。。。。我會努力的， 你在這邊也要加油哦！

一起為我們的張來努力， 奮斗！
