Appreciation from clients

i love my job alot!
i wish n hope tat i can continue in this line for as long as possible..
all along i don't really expect anything from clients.
im being paid to do my job anyway...
jus a word or sms "thank you" etc, im already happy and contented.

but some clients are really very sweet to go the extra mile to thank me..
and im so so so thankful and appreciate that ppl appreciate me and that i make a difference to their life..
its not jus congratulate me when i achieve any awards...

they are taking some of their personal time, sit down, think thru and make the effort to write to Pru or post long message in facebook etc.. it is something that clients do not need to do one.. but they did...
and im so thankful for it...

Lanzhen wrote in to Pru to compliment me..


Samantha post a long comment in facebook.



This career allows me to meet so many ppl and thru this, gain alot of friends too.
Most importantly, i can make a difference when unforeseen situation occur...

How not to love my job when its so great!  :)

Italy-Florence Town 24-25 April 2012

taking train to Florence!
each of us have a BIG luggage + 1 small luggage...
means we got 7 BIG n small luggages!

we need to strategize who move which luggage n who go find seats etc..
n challenge is we need to shift fast so wont block others!
we even "whoosshh" after we strategize..
sooo funny!
the time spend to move luggage gets shorter as we travel more n more train..
like expert in moving le..
hahaha

TIPS: in order to have peace of mind when leaving luggage at "parking" area, it is good to buy a long wired lock to wire up the luggages so tat others wont steal it!
n lucky smith bought 2 very long wires! 
so smart!



reach florence!

some cathedral 

sky soooo blue again!


alot of "david" kekeke.
means birdie la...

dinner!
TIPS: smith always go tripadvisor to look for top few restaurant to eat, so we can have good meals!


at train station

TIPS: have GOOD luggage is very important if u move alot...
especially have a GOOD 4-wheeled roller..
its is sooooo much easier to move when 1 hand pull big luggage, 1 hand pull small one..
each of us have to pull 2 luggages at one go..
and when your luggage is so heavy n not 4-wheeled.. is quite tough...

see us pulling luggage..
finding ways to our B&B..
rushing across road n small lanes...
can imagine the "be careful", "look out, got car", "the uneven roads"!
sweat!
finally found the B&B!
Soggiorno Firenze
Via Nazionale, 17, 50123, Florence, Italy
