Getting approval

Tsuey Ni had gotten approval to take two days leave from her HM and we had decided that we want to take up this challenging trip without YuXuan. This would be the first time both of us are going away without him. But we told ourselves this is something that YuXuan will have to learn and go through.

Meeting up with Great Eastern

Finally Mr. Yew and I met up with Great Eastern Corporate Communication people and they handed me the official letter that I have won this exciting & challenging trip ... so it's confirmed, I am going to Uganda to track the endangered mountain gorillas.

The begining

This journey starts when I first receive a call from my good friend and insurance agent Mr. Yew on my 40th birthday this year. I did not believe what he had told me until I met with the Corporate Communication people from Great Eastern. At that time the thoughts that was going through my mind was: who is going to take care of YuXuan, what about my exams for my MBA which happens on the 27th & 28th September, the week I am suppose to be in Uganda? Can Tsuey Ni take leave and go with me? It was both exciting and worrying.
