I have just arrived in Langkawi, feeling extremely sleepy as I had taken an early morning flight. As it is still quite early, I decided to chill out at the one and only Starbucks in Langkawi here at the airport. The resort is ready for me to check in, but there's no hurry.
So I decided to blog again.
This week has been crazy. My last 2 days (namely Thursday and Friday) were spent doing damage control. I also had the opportunity to interview the nation's brightest who are competing for our scholarships.
Not knowing how Thursday and Friday going to turn out for me, I made reservation at our resort in Langkawi and got my secretary to buy me tickets. Anyway, I need this rest badly :) I intend to spend about 3 1/2 days in Langkawi this time around. I brought along some books to keep me occupied. I can also breath a sigh of relief as I no longer have to travel to Washington D.C this month. My staff will be going instead. I hate traveling to that part of the world mainly coz it takes forever to get there. Their airport procedures can sometimes be quite 'leceh' as well.
I have not really planned my days in Langkawi. The weather seems nice enuf for me to go out and enjoy the many attractions Langkawi has to offer. But before that, I need to complete online assessment for my leadership profiling, submit my assessment for the interviews I conducted on Friday as well as prepare an urgent memo for my boss who is away. There are several follow up actions that need to be taken as well.
It seems as if Langkawi is not too badly affected by the current global economic downturn. Tourist arrival is still encouraging. Considering that this part of the world offers cheaper alternative for holidaymakers, it is encouraging to see 'business-as-usual' kinda environment here at the Langkawi airport. I might be wrong as I've not seen other parts of this Island.
Hmm.. what else. My sister seems to be doing okay in Kinabatangan. Her last sms a few days earlier indicated that she's settling down quite well with her husband. My only worry is the fact that my auntie is quite ill. She suffers a minor stroke and was hospitalised for about 2 weeks. I shall go visit her again once I'm back in KL. I better make a move now. Will write again soon... taaa..
Owh...before that, sebab terlupa bawa sunglasses, I bought this new Oakley pair at the Langkawi airport. I must say, I like it!
