Preparing for Shanghai

I will be flying off next wednesday morning to Shanghai. Although I have already expected this trip since weeks ago, I nv expect it to be so early. And it occurs on the same week as my office shift. Now i am left with only 2-3 days to pack my stuffs, and there s so much more work to do....

I am never really worried about staying outside from home (or even singapore), but the only major challenge i am facing is getting air sickness. I have the phobia of getting on flights, even though i have taken airplanes so many times already in life. My first flight was taken when i was just 3mths old, and all along i would not get air-sickness while travelling on planes. I could even vividly remember myself running about on board when i was 6-7 yr old.

Unfortunately, i happened to take this flight to HK when i was very sick at the age of 11. The entire flight was a torture as i was feeling giddy and vommitted throughout the journey. Ever since then, I experienced the same giddiness whenever i board on planes. My last flight was taken 5 yrs ago and it was just as terrible, even tough it was already a 10 yr gap. The giddiness was still killing me.

A friend from EVC has passed me a special medical plaster to be pasted on my neck when travelling on planes. She told me the plaster is very effective in solving the air sickness issue, and they are only available in Korea. Thank goodness. . .she is my saviour manz!

Getting pretty excited about the trip. It will be a challenge to represent HP Asiapacific to discuss one of our soon-to-be launch products, as well as receiving training on its building process. Will be meeting otherrepresensatives from the other 2 HP regions - HP Europe and America. Finally, I couldnt get to meet some of my friends who are already stationed at Shanghai - Barry and Candy!
