Back To Back

 Thursday in London, Saturday in Dubai by Sunday I was already in Beijing.

  I can't believe I just did that. Typical torture before they send me off for my leave.

  Didn't bother to go sight-seeing in London eventhough it's been ages that they gave me this flight. I just removed my makeup, wash myself off the grime from the aircraft, ate a truckload of beef sandwiches and tune in to Channel 4. My samsung phone is so efficient with wifi that I get free access with the public connection. I saved 15 pounds for 24 -hour internet. Wohoo! I was chatting with my husband and watching Beuwulf but I was so exhausted that I just passed out in the middle of everything. I woke up the next day at 530 , too early for breakfast. After watching Come Dine with Me Down Under I hurriedly went downstairs for a 2-hour breakfast buffet. I took my time literally savouring each spoon of Cereals, Belgian Waffles and fresh fruits. Alright, alright! I also devoured some sinfully good pork bacon, sausages and muffins. When I reached my room I can't hadly see my abs. What abs? Haha. I came back to my regular programming and read my book then took my pills and shut up eyes 'til wake up call.

First Class was full. We were so busy that midnight Dubai time felt like afternoon rush. Thank God for my uber-heavy breakfast since I missed my chance to eat a decent meal again before Top of Descent. I was famished when I reached my apartment. After that  6 and a half hour flight my empty stomach would not mind to eat nonstop if I could. After  cooking a hearty meal I went to bed at 10am wishing I can recharge for 5 hours before I do my chores. I did laundry, ran quickly for grocery and prepare my flight to Beijing since I will be flying after 12 hours in Dubai to Beijing.


I spent my remaining hours with my husband in the Mall of the Emirates to watch X-men. It's been so long since we went to Cinema. Nice movie. I really love Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique. We went straight home and relax and spent quality lovin'.


I love this feeling, you know. As cheesy as it may sound but it really is different when you kiss and you're already married. When he say's "my wife" I automatically feel like my  hopeless romantic teenage-self again. wahaha.  Oh God, Thank YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! You answered so many of my prayers this year!


Then I took an hour and a half nap before I pack up and flew to China.
Poor husband sleeping alone again for 3 nights.

As  expected I was battling sleep the whole time. I was lucky to have really nice collegues in-flight. They made my condition bearable. I was literally falling from my jumpseat during take off and landing. 'Hope my Purser didn't see me.

I had a chinese feast after sleeping 10 hours. Went to this dodgy Carrefour beside our hotel. Bought so much stuff to try. Swore off going to Silk Market except when I am shopping with a professional haggler. Haha.

I can't wait to shop in Hong Kong at the end of the month. And eat really really yummy dimsum!

I'm back to Dubai now and up for 5 days off before heading back to Australia.

I feel so thrilled that I survived my deadly back-to-back.
Happy that my schedule is back to normal.
And thank God that I feel more human again!
