Yes yes, I'm still alive. Most bloggers tend to drop off the Earth after starting a new job or moving countries, but rest assured. I'm still alive. So what have I been up to?
I've been spending my time between Singapore and the project site - which breaks down to 4/5 days at project site, and 2/3 days in Singapore. It's pretty tiring since I have to catch the 7.30am flight on Mondays and usually get back past 11pm on a Thursday/Friday.
You tend to develop certain habits after staying a the same hotel for a long time, sometimes, even in the same room. 3 pears/3 apples everyday, the Wall Street Journal, an extra bottle of water... stuff like that. It's not to say the most fun kind of lifestyle to have, you're dependent on local friends to take you out, since it really isn't safe where I am.
So most of your nights are spent either in the hotel room, or at the hotel bar talking with women on the prowl for their next customer. It's not that bad (I'm on the first name basis with a few of them), but it gets boring if you're not interested in their services and they're always trying to get you to buy them a drink.
What am I doing? Well, I'm helping do business development, not focused on sales and marketing, but instead on building the business further in terms of "how" "who" "what" and "why". Am I enjoying myself? Pretty much so, I find it interesting, and I'm learning a lot. Thankfully, I'm fortunate that my boss is a good person, who is willing to share what he knows and help me develop my own skills further.
