Weeks of Juggling

The past 5 weeks had indeed been a rather challenging one. Started off in Tokyo having discussion with Africans + Japanese counterparts and faced an unexpected 200 odd pax forum. Back to a burning hot Singapore for a couple of days for more work related preparations and off to Shanghai on a less familiar ground meeting and concluded with some unhappy episode. Had a home run for about 3 hrs to shower/change bag and off to Jakarta for a wedding whilst son headed for Taiwan the very same morning. It was a good "Indonesian break" and had the must-have 5000 Rp/hr foot reflex. This was followed by a series of meetings/discussions back home and a rather uncooperative tummy. (Internal body system was already registering its displeasure !!!). Concluded the week in a hazy Singapore atmosphere with a "staff retreat" and it was off to the airport, that evening for Copenhagen. Final (mental) rehearsal and touch up of slides were done on the plane. On reaching the Danish City, Blackberry decided to give way. Survived the entire week without rice and oily/spicy stuff to cooperate with the tummy. Thank goodness, the Danish air-conditioning system (8-10 deg C) was excellent though the Mermaid (avoided me) and decided to have a vacation at the Shanghai Expo (My life story of avoidance, at its best !!!)

In between the trips, had the completion of the new house, sourced for computer charger, change money, clear bills, received some "not-so-good" news, work disappointment, upset tummy, duty driver, settling meals, arranged air tickets for returning daughter, clear more bills and what have you. 24 hours a day was just not enough. At the end of it all, it was just another juggling feat with some items dropping on the floor whilst desperately, trying to keep the remaining in the air.
