I’m really angry, thanks to Aeroline… #1 time-wasters. Giving them benefit of the doubt before I rant. Work week has been so-so. I actually keep a list in Notepad about what work I do everyday, so should someone ask me what I’m busy doing, then I’ll just send them the file, lol. Aside from that, today I did something really cool that I’ve always wanted to do, but never got around to doing! I feel sooooooooooooo good and warm and happy now.
This weekend is a busy one — team teaching again, and going for Mandy & LeeLong’s wedding. I need a break, man! Holiday holiday holiday!!!! T_____T
Cut & paste old, pre-written entry. Hope I can blog during the weekend. Have a good one!
Entry #17
Been put on a wild goose chase the whole day. Fcuk… almost been here for 3 weeks and it feels so at home here. Nyeeeehhh I want to work here instead of Cambodia now.
We ate at the Mekong Hotel tonight in honor and celebration of Nguyen’s last night here in Cambodia. Actually, when I went to the market, I was thinking about buying a gift for her but in the end I totally forgot about it. Heh. :3
The restaurant.
All the food… lazy to write out all…
Weird pink watermelon… tasteless.
Okay la, don’t want to talk anymore. Had high intentions of solving something for my colleague but fcuk him la. Those who need help, open their mouths and ask for it. I don’t have intentions to help those who keep quiet, lol.
Entry #18
Another day, another eSMR (in case you forgot, it stands for System Modification Request) raised by a user that I have dropped. Feel quite proud of myself. Been churning out reports like a Crystal Report expert, never mind the fact that I have only picked it up like a week and a half ago. :3
Today was the last day for the Vietnamese girl.. she was most worried that she couldn’t run her loan schedule patching script in time as the user couldn’t confirm the figures (user = so-called most handsome man in the bank) and so she hurriedly taught us how to run her patching script and what to change if we couldn’t patch by today. In the end we practically held a gun to the user’s head to get him to confirm the figures and alls well that ends well.
[Cut out long rant against someone who I feel bad for ranting against now because he's just a helpless creature, haha.]
For dinner, the country head took us to eat steamboat. It costs like 35,000 kip per person, and it’s all-you-can-eat. Too bad they started to hide the food by 9pm. Still, we had good enough barbeque and steamboat. I’m okay with steamboat… I think the most important part in steamboating is just to go with the flow and not bitch too much about other people’s idiosynchracies. I’m very selamba over food, so I’m good at steamboat-ing with pple.
The restaurant.
Tall MrSia leading the way, across some huge lake!
Dude setting up the cooking implements…
Buffet style!
Girls always go for the mushrooms and veg… correct?
Nooooooootttt….!! You think I’m a rabbit ah! Meat meat meat!! I love meat!! CarnivoreeeeEeeee RoaaarRRR!!
There were some already-cooked food as well, but I don’t think it tasted so good.
Starting small.
More meat. Give us the meatsssss!
More cooked food…. I think AhSiang took most of the cooked food… lazy bugger!
Cooked already…
Local herbal jellies for dessert. I really like the green herbal jelly! Very cooling and refreshing.
All filled up.
Fried stuff. How not to gain weight while working there laaaaa…
Aftermath!
Happy steamboat-ers – AhSiang, Sifoo Wong, MrSia (looks like a beggar here… lol) and Mr Lim.
The guys were all randomly talking about beautiful girls in Laos… and for some reason ended up talking about “wonderland” which is a term that they use to refer to the prostitute den. The country head said that a lot of his clients bring him there, and he says that they bring the women in a line to the front of the men and ask the men to pick. If you don’t like any, a second line comes in. It’s very “meat market” and he said sometimes he just feel bad for the women so he just pick whoever is in the first selection instead of being a bitch. However, this guy is married, so he will plan with his friends first for a “rescue call” after about two drinks so that he can excuse himself from the clients (and the pawing women). He say the ladies are all so subservient and beautiful that if you stay too long and get touched by them sure cannot resist already wtf. Mental note to self : never date a banker.
Okay, tomorrow I’m going to some part of Thailand.. not Udon already. Udon apparently too far. We’re just going there to stamp our passports and then come back home. Oh, and to shop at Tesco and to eat KFC. :O~
And then I went to Thailand…. 60+ pictures after the cut. Don’t stop — story time! ![]()
