Remembering 2013

2013 was crazy, busy and awesome.   In January, we went to Yangon, Myanmar for our 3rd Marketing Retreat. I personally prefer Siem Reap but the Pagoda and big Buddha are amazing. Tour guide wasn't great and we didn't get to visit the local market. It was a public holiday the day we wanted to visit it and we weren't told beforehand. When asked to suggest alternatives, the tour guide told us there's nothing much to do and asked us in return what we wanted to do. WTF right?  I also find Siem Reap's people and lifestyle simpler and the tuk tuk rides really got me. Overall it was still quite an experience to visit a new place with some old and new work friends.

That you like what I have and want to own the same thing as me. I hate competition. Perhaps I appear arrogant to some people but I don't like to compete with others. I don't know what I have done but some people around me just like to find the opportunity to put me down, to remind me that they have beaten me....
