This week, I wrapped up some very important tasks at work. I moved forward with my progress on a newsletter that will be featured in company publications next week, which is very exciting. I am very proud of my work for this assignment, and hope that readers will appreciate my efforts. Given the achievements I reached during the week, it was super nice to have a long weekend. Bintan Island On Friday, we all headed down to Bintan Island for the weekend. I was not aware of how beautiful and isolated the beaches were on this island. The resort had […]
