And so the trip begins!
As of 9am today, I was officially homeless. I air-kissed each room goodbye, then handed Frank the keys to the Burnaby Condo.
It’s a sunny day in Vancouver today. I lugged 2 suitcases and a backpack, and took the skytrain to the airport. Mom packed a ton of food for me. Mango salsa, cheesecake, mushroom and chicken, and wined eggs. I’ll be eating my own weight’s worth of food during the 12 hour flight haha.
I got a great seat. Second from the back, two in a row instead of three, so I got a lot of room beside me, and an extra under the-seat storage
space! Too bad the girl sitting beside me is grumpy. Other than that, all is well 🙂
I have no expectations for this trip. I just want to spend some quality time with Stan and Masha. Mostly Stan because he is motivated and inspiring. I also want to practice my charisma knowledge on the people I meet.
- Observe surroundings and make comments about things / have opinions (Matthew Hussey)
- Being a host – ask people if they are having a good time
- Ask interesting questions that elicit interesting and long answers
- Be playful and light hearted and fun
- Praise people (who are in ear shot and not in ear shot)
I think ideally I get to meet some interesting power sellers who can be my business mentor, partner, or a great friend. And that I learn something that will dramatically improve my business. That I learn how to shop at Canton Fair.

In Bali, I hope for this:
- I have a great time! Laughing lots.
- I fall in love with a great guy who loves me very much
- I get lots of work done and make lots of progress!
- I experience a lot of the fun things in Bali, such as surfing, and swimming with the oceanic manta rays
- I improve on making good connection with people
- I make some great friends.
Sam, Kent, Berta, and Christa are coming! We were the first 5 people to get on Table Mountain. Not sure what the significance of that is haha.
Part of me wished that the entire tribe would be of new people, but part of me am glad that these people are coming. They are some of my favourite people in the Tribe.
I wonder what would happen between Sam and I. I know he has flaws that I probably can’t stand. And vice versa. But if he does turn out to be a great soul mate for me, then I hope we work out. If not, I hope it’s mutual and we still like each other.
First of all, he was on the nomad cruise for 10 days. And he will be somewhere after that for 10 days. It’s hard to say if he’ll have met someone by the time we meet. I can’t expect him to still be single, because he so desperately wants to be in love, and he is putting himself out there around tons of people.
If he does have a girlfriend by the time we meet, I’ll be sad, but I’ll need to be ok with that. Know that, he really isn’t that good looking, we have a huge age gap, and he is at the phase in his life and biz that isn’t in sync with mine.
Also, he hasn’t been that funny to be honest. It’s even possible that we won’t have the same chemistry this time!
I don’t know. I’m trying to imagine some scenarios so as to not feel disappointed. Because I don’t think we are actually going to work.
My ideal guy is probably more good-looking and closer to me in age, and is more reliable and dependable.
