Touched down from BKK about 3 hours ago. Was there for the Kick-off session of my FMP course (Operations). 1st time setting foot in Bangkok, outside of its airport at least.

Fascinating place, Thailand. Really the land of the smiles. I felt so loved and cared for in the hotel. And the service seemed genuinely sincere, not the 'I-smile-cos-my-boss-is-looking' plasticky grins that're more common elsewhere.

Also, what a colourful place! It was there that I saw pink taxis - PINK! Taxis!
Talk about character man.

Too bad this time round I was a little too bogged down by work to really get out and enjoy the place. Was working till 1am last night doing my reports (catching all the free time I had outside of class to get stuff done). Only JUST finished sending one out. Well, this current 6-month rotation is definitely a lot different from my previous one, and a lot more challenging. Steep learning curve, for sure. And already needing to stay back late to clear work, only in my 2nd week or so into the new job. Tough, but builds resilience. Just needing God a lot to sustain me through this.

Have also been snacking a lot to destress... oh dear... almost couldn't fit into my jeans :
Time to get healthy and get moving and get the blood flow going..!

But for now - ZZZzzzzzz................
