Chubs over the hiatus
Indeed...it has been a enduring hiatus chubs has taken off from blogging.
Not good indeed.
It has been a torturous year at work - packed schedules, ridiculous length of working hours, travelings (okie..this im not really complaining)...hmm basically - just work.
Summarising what i have been doing for 07. Okie this is easy - work.
AGAIN?!
Yes, chubs' life for 07 was work work work work. Obscene.
The travelings were good i must say - for work as well as to breathe a lil. Get away from singgas for a while. There was KL for Inmex, Oslo for Norshipping, Pusan for Kormarine, Rotterdam for Europort, Shanghai for Marintec. All contributed to a successful sales figures. Met wonderful peeps during my trip and i was even able to sneak out some days out of my business trip and busy schedules for some breather.
London was fantastic - a place where i will relocate if opportunities arises. I felt at home there - just like it was in Sydney. My frens were there, so i felt extra-comfy in the busy city.
Amsterdam was fabulous even without mood-enhancing stuff. Jan managed to coincide her business trip to Rot-a-damn and Brussels so that was awesome. History came to life with the visits to the Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank's House.
I realized if this was Chubs 1.5 years ago - i would have detailed every single moments of these trips - oh well, didnt have the luxury of time to even blog *shame on me*
When they say....."Europe is a place where you will always want to return to...." I raise my hands and agree without hesitation. Indeed, Europe is the place where you will always feel like returning - the air you breathe, the history, architecture, culture, the cuisine and the peeps.
Cant beat Mythical Greece though. Would wanna plan another visit back to Athens, Santorini and the rest of the islands. If plans sticks like sticky pudding, i will be back in Athens for sure, Summer of 2008 - Posidonia @ Athens. But if interesting plans are bestowed, I might take Posidonia out of business travel plans. Nevertheless, the promise i made to return still stays.
Breathe and close your eyes - the Acropolis stood proud under the full moonlight of Summer - makes you feel like you were transported back where Athena took her throne, fought and defend the city - where the Gods were busy at the Oracle.
I recently visited the Singgas Museum for the Greek Sculptures brought it from Louvre Museum. Not many pieces were flown in but some magnificent sculptures still captivated me. Of coz, this compares no closer than what i have seen up close and personal at Acropolis Museum, and of coz at the various sites at Crete, Mykonos etc. These are in fact the reasons that made you want to go back to Greece and soak in deeply with the Mythical Journeys that the Gods once traveled. British Museum also owned some of the artifacts - the missing pieces that i didnt see at the Acropolis Museum. I'd say, return them to Greece. I'll rally that.
The sculptures exhibited at the Singgas Museum does intrigued one's eagerness to return to Greece. Made you wonder, how did the sculptors craved out such expressive and emotional art pieces from raw Marble. The expression - they were so intriguing.
2008 started with a emotional ride - and i see that 2008 is a year of repositioning and realigning. I made a pact with the Man Above, lets see how i am going to pace in his way where i have been crafted in His plan...
