Revised

I went to ChongQing last week for a business trip because we needed/had to review with the department stores. We ate a lot of food. I love hotpot, it tastes different. I requested a leave on Christmas, i have a plan with friends at night, we have a Christmas party. There are 4 of us, we’re not very close. I have 6 besties, every year we go on a trip. I will push them to set a time, buy tickets and book accommodation. I’m the one to plan the itinerary. I don’t like to do this, but I like to take matters in my own hands. I‘d be a little frustrated if it’s out of my hands. When I’m doing this, I’m not happy, it takes lots of time. But if i don’t do this, I’m not happy either because i’d worry too much.
