Planned Long Weekend + Holiday Tours

I took a day leave on 9 Nov, the day after Deepavali, therefore, got to enjoy a planned long weekend. Hahaha... This is a privilege which I can never get to enjoy from my previous job. Mmm... Another plus point for job change...

In fact, during this week, two of my colleagues went for holiday trip. One of them went to Phuket, another went to Vietnam. These are some sourvenirs given by them from Phuket and Vietnam:


Hmmm... Really envy them... So when will be my turn for a holiday trip leh? I wish to visit Bangkok... As I heard that the shopping there is... Woohoo!!!
