I'm Back
I've never driven for more than one hour at one go, so the trip to Malacca was terribly exhausting. Going wasn't at all that bad, since Helen was there to accompany me. Well, I know I dozed off at 9.30 pm that night, whilst my two colleagues were venting their anger at the co for making our lives a miserable hell. As much as the topic was interesting, I suppose the drive to an alien place left me quite worn out.
Today was worse: I wanted to get back earlier in order to check some mails that my authors had urgently posted, so I left earlier. Almost dozed off on the highway... see driving alone really is taxing. I got home, totally exhausted despite waking up at 8.30 am this morning, and took a three-hour nap. I don't think sleeping tonight is going to be a problem at all. Am still feeling quite snoozy and... well...
Actually I don't quite like the idea of going back to work tomorrow at all. Going on this trip has led me to new insights: I've learnt A LOT of things. And, I know that the work that's going to welcome me at the office tomorrow will be completely overwhelming, even for a self-professed workaholic like me.
But anyway, met up with people from the M'sian educational publishing industry (the Cambridge Uni Press sales guys were hot cute!) and also the who's who in ELT (that's English Language Training). Pearson's a terribly frightening company, Thomson Heinle's got terribly cheap workbooks and the British Council has an amazing range of give-aways. Guys who are involved in ELT in the international arena aren't wimps at all, in fact some of them can be quite hunky... urm... well...
Anyway, I'm back.
