I take my airport watching seriously. It’s something I always do whenever I pass by it. There’s something about the planes taking off or landing that is so hard to resist, aside from it makes me think of vacation and going home. Three years ago I was privileged to have worked in a manufacturing company of landing gear system for aircrafts, where I get to see even a teenie bit of airplane part everyday and some awesome Airbus & Boeing launching videos. We also live where we can hear and see airplanes every five to ten minutes, which is music to my ears now more than it is noise. The most unexpected is that I now work in an office right across the airport, where this is what I get to see every day.
What a coincidence!

Another thing I can’t do without is good food, good restaurant and good ambiance. One of the very few indulgences I have, I should say, is eating out every week. I’m glad I have a good excuse to do so and a hubby who treatss eating out as his contribution to chores, like think of it as he cooked the meal and washed the dishes.
Job hunting after I graduated from university, there is only one criterion I had in mind, that is to work in a company that I like, not in terms of job description or salary, but based on the company’s products and/or services. Although consulting firms and manufacturing companies were of big consideration, I leaned towards the food business, and luckily fell on Col. Sanders and Mr. Donut's laps. I enjoyed doing product launching, feasilibity analyses, even the presentations, because I got to work with the executives behind my favorite finger-licking good chicken and gravy. The frequent chicken taste-tests and the the bags of brownies I could take home occasionally were icing on the cake.
And then I had this huge opportunity of putting up and managing our own hotpot restaurant, which is another favorite.
