Life…as it happens!
A wonderful dinner to remember @Musashi Japanese Cuisine
This pending meetup after our return to Auckland gave us a chance to go outside, look around and have a breath of fresh air – first one for Sunshine after being bedridden for past week.
Spending quality time catching up with Stephen, first at home and then dining at one of the best Japanese restaurants in Auckland. Will be on our way back to home in sometime and that will be the time for a surprise to Stephen. 🍛🥗🥘🍲
Enjoying the last lunch of this trip to Wellington @Saigon Van Grill Bar
It turned out to be the best Vietnamese restaurant I’ve ever been to – a wonderful recommendation from Jose and totally justified the farewell dinner with Stephen last week at this awesome restaurant.
The dripping Vietnamese Coffee here is just amazing. ☕🥗🍛
Enjoying Malaysian delicacies @Little Penang
This is the first dinner in Wellington after returning from vacations and also the first one without Stephen. Thankfully Jose didn’t go anywhere and so was our pack. Had a great time catching up on everything.
This restaurant chain offers vegetarian version of Nasi Lemak which is not very common and they make a delicious one – biggest reason I like visiting restaurants in this chain.
Why I love Nasi Lemak? Short answer is beautiful memories. It brings them back those memories, reminding of an awesome colleague from Malaysia I worked with who was very picky about Nasi Lemak. 🍲🥘🥗🍛🌃
Now enjoying drinks @Ministry of Food Bar & Kitchen
A good time to get hold of Ashan only to learn his planned departure in few weeks.
Thanks to him for gearing up and speeding the team during initial days of formation, and here we are, after go-live, enjoying talking about those days. 🍺
Meeting with Sandeep after a long time @Sierra Cafe
As if I could not get enough of Honey Lemon Ginger for today.
Felt great to get back to the wonderful Camaraderie we share. ☕ 🍯 🍋
Enjoying a tasty lunch @Rahzoo Cafe n Salad Bar
Thought of checking out this small restaurant and food here is amazing. Although they have only one choice for vegans and vegetarians but it was well prepared. Thanks to Ranga and Raj for introducing this place. 🥗🥘
Catching up with Andrew this morning @Sierra Cafe
This is the time to learn about the lost tracks, events and happenings, and to express some gratitude.
Could not thank enough to some people for making me feel comfortable from very start of the time here in Wellington and for reaching where I stand now. Andrew comes at top of that list along-with very few others I’ll be meeting with, very soon. The ‘Honey Lemon Ginger’ drink here is awesome -thanks to Andrew for introducing it to me ☕ 🍯 🍋
Just when you think life has given enough shocks, there is one more left for you in a corner!
This was the last pic of team I had before many faces disappeared from the office and that was the latest shock I had this morning.
Today morning, missing from this pic are Stephen, Kaushalya, Kieran and Greame –
As if that already was not strong enough, couple of others were going to disappear in coming weeks.
Talk of being excited to return after the vacations!
Now back to normal life, work and travel. First night after vacations and welcome was as warm as ever @Bolton Hotel
It was nice to see the upgrades made in the new year and now I’m off to Sauna for a good night’s rest before a good start of next day. Cheerio! 🏨 🌃
First week here in Auckland has involved visiting Pharmacies, Medical Centers or Hospitals everyday – not something you expect to do after returning from a tiring vacation. @Unichem Pharmacy, @White Swan Pharmacy, @Unichem Richardson Road Pharmacy, @Auckland City Hospital
Flying to Wellington this evening and hoping for the things to get better from now onwards.
