Sat Aug 14

Wake up early around 9am and getting ready to go for my telemarketing part time job. Feeling a little reluctant to go coz i rarely can rest on saturdays but no choice, I have to fulfill the 15 hours working hours required by the stupid company. Anyway, dragged myself to work and reached Bugis pretty early. Went to UOB bank to subscribe the UOB visa mini debit card. That time saw Janet showing off her cards and I feel so envy! Plus it has the benefits and discounts privilledges if you wanted to join scuba diving lessons. Wow...

When the customer service office was in the midst of preparing my card, I received a phonecall from office. Mani called and asked whether have I send email ofthe sports hub research to boss. I didn't as I had not finished it. Later at around noon time, received an sms from Jasonand he told me that boss was very upset that I never emailed him on Friday evening... Well.. I know is my fault, no choice.. have to rush to office early on Monday morning to rush this shitty report.

My colleagues for part time job-Jean sms me that she is quitting. I'm abit shocked. Sucks.. I have one less 'kaki' to have lunch with me... Aaarrrggghh.....I'm also in a dilemnia whether to quit or not to quit

After my telemarketing job ends at 6pm... was on my way to meet Bee and Boon they all for a class gathering. Happened to bump into Grace. We sat at nearby Rocky Master Cafe and chatted awhile. I asked her whether she wanna come along and joined us and she agreed! Great! More people the merrier. Bee, Boon and Kel were quite surprised to see Grace and we headed off to Bugis to have Taiwanese spicy steamboat.. Yum Yum....

We initially wanted to eat the steamboat in Suntec but Grace recommended Bugis as it is cheaper and she said it also taste nicer. We heed her advise and went to Bugis. We ordered alot and Grace keep on adding food to my plate. When we finished our feast, I can feel that my pants were so tight that it is going to burst anytime.

Unflattering photo of me with Beelian... I looked so ugly & blur here... =(

After our seafood feast, we decided to cross the road to have our second eating spree... having desserts! Kelvin & Grace didn't join us as Kelvin need to meet up his other friends and Grace's bf had come to pick her up. Grace's bf is not bad looking but I still prefer her ex's-Marcus looks. I had a strong feeling that Grace had a stormy breakup with Marcus and neither keep in contact with each other. Altough I had a strong urge to ask her what happen between she & Marcus.. I tell myself not to be so 'nosy' and suppressed myself from asking her.

We went into the dessert store and ordered a couple of desserts. When we finished ours, we wanted to ordered the second round. However the boss keep on serving the new customers despite them ordering later than us and I feel so pissed off. I felt that he doesn't really keen to serve us the second round and I gave him a black face and displeased tone when I make a complain. I'm not going back there again....

After dessert, Ling & Boon went home while Bee & I went for our third eating spree! We ordered ice-cream from 7-eleven, chips and mineral water. Oh man.. I feel like a glutton on that day! I shared a lot of my thoughts and how worried I was regarding about my elder brother... we talked til 3am and I reached home at around 3.30am. Imagine I had to wake up early for my telemarketing job tomorrow. Sucks.....

Was late for work. Went to buy prata for everyone and Jason sms me asking me where am I when I didn't turned up for working for past 30minutes. Is all the prata's fault!

Jason asked me whether Aidrey did briefed me about the kelong trip. I replied telling him that she did briefed a little. He asked me whether Audrey did briefed me about the carparking overnight for members. I replied nope and he was very pissed off. He told me that last time when Audrey took over for the Kelong trip, he painted a picture of what was going to happen in kelong but this time round, she never make any effort to tell me what was going to happen. He told me what I should do and what I should briefed the members about. I think I'm going to miss him when he is not around. He likes to protect our project departments and without him aroud, I have to learn and survived on my own. Jason asked me to checked with Felisse-Admin Manager whether Audrey had informed her about the carparking rates.

I checked with Felisse and she said Audrey didn't told her a thing. She complained to me that Audrey is incompetent in her work and shouldn't be paid so much to do so little things. I guessed everyone is pissed off with her.

At around 1.15pm, I went down to do the administration work. I had to take down names for the memebers, giving out departure card etc. I had so much thing to do at the same time and I had to handle this all alone. Wenlong arrived at around 1.30pm and asked me why I looked so 'kan cheong'... I had to do so many things at the same time and of course I looked uncalm lah!

We boarded the bus and reached Chagi jetty quite late. The bumboat rides took about 1hr plus and we had to stop somewhere to get our passport chopped. We continued our journey and I'm quite surprised coz Wenlong and I chatted non-stop during the journey. I was worried initially that we will have nothing to talk about. Wenlong took some pictures in the sea and later werealised the date in his camera was set wrongly.

This picture was taken while we are sitting in Bumboat. Note that the date printed in the photo is wrong. Wenlong said he change the batteries and never reset the date. =(

We arrived at the kelong finally at around 4-5pm.

Finally arrived in Kelong!

 I'm abit caught off guard when members started asking me where are they supposed to sleep in. I knew that there are 6 rooms in kelong but I had not forsee that members will keep demanding where are they supposed to be sleeping in. I had to do planning and arrangements for the rooms as well as dinner seating arrangements.

Kelong had quite a scenic view and I enjoyed the slow pace of life over here. I was enjoying the vreeze and scenery and it was also a perfect opportunity for me to unwind. I had been working quite hard and lack of sleep ever since I took up the part time telemarketing job. Coming to Kelong trip was a chance for me to relax and imagine getting paid for it!

I keep asking Wenlong to take pictures of me as I wanna capture the beautiful scenery and also the perfect moments over here.....We managed to capture sunset too!

    & nbsp;

I'm impressed with this photo! Wenlong managed to take a beautiful shot of me despite all the previous ugly shots he took... haha....

Dinner started at around 7pm. We had a seafood feast and we ate to our fill. There were fish, crabs, prawns etc.. Wow! I tried to save some space for BBQ supper later.. haha.... Wenlong and I relaxed and sat in armchairs and enjoying the view of the sea. We keep on chatting and get to know more about each other. I'm not attracted to him altought we really had alot to talk about... Guess he will be a good friend of mine...We watched the stars and enjoyed the breeze and I also get to know lots of secrets about him.. like he nearly risked getting raped by a blind and deaf person in HK, his mum is very attractive etc. Haha....

BBQ started at aroubd 11pm and we ate to our fill once again.

BBQ seafood. Yummy! Wenlong did all the barbeque... heehee

I found out anoter secret that he is very health consious and doesn't eat so much on usual days. Haha..

We chatted til around 1am when I canniot take it anymore and fell asleep. I woke up at around 5am as I'm being awaken by the footsteps of the members walking around. As keong is made of wood, every step we took will create a loud sound and I'm being 'disturbed' in sleep' because of this.

At around 6am.. we went to see how fish are being caught and being fed too. We also tried to catch sunrise and took lots of pictures of it.

  
Small fishes caught as a bait for bigger fishes

 
Fishnet was 'raised' in the morning to check how much fishes had been captured.

Beautiful sunrise in the morning!

We leave kelong at around 8am and the journey this time was much shorter as the boat driver had helped us to get our passport chopped beforehand. Initially I wanted to work part time for the telemarketing job but Wenlong discouraged me asking me why I worked so hard.. sometimes I do asked myself this question... Anyway I had an enjoyable experience and I think it quite worth helping Audrey this time for the Kelong Trip.

Regarding about the kelong trip.. I had a hard time finding someone to accompany me. It is quite last minutes and most of them have a lot of commitments. Shiryee was supposingly accompanying me to go kelong trip with her.. I don't know why but I don't feel quite safe asking her along.. she always had something on at the last minute. It indeed come true... I sms her while working on my part time job asking her whether she knows how to come to my company tomorrow.. she reply back saying she can't come coz she last minute being called up by her company. I'm really pissed off with her...why didn't she told me tat she can't come and has to wait til I sms her then she told me? She said tat she trying to see whether she can changed her schedule with her colleague.. she also asked me to try calling someone else.

I had no choice but to sms Wenlong. I'm not very familiar with him but I'm really desperate for help. He said he can come but he got test at noon time and not sure whether he can come ... I told him that in this case he better don't come.. He said he can rushed down but I seemed like not keen on him going... Ooops.. he can read my mind......haha... anyway I told him to bring his passport and his tolietries just in case.... heehee.. My heart was telling me not to ask him along since I don't really know him but my head was telling me no harm calling him along. Anyway I had make up my mind.. most probably I will ask him along. I need help in tat fu*king Audrey's event anyway!

My 1st lesson in driving centre. I was late and had to take a cab to reach there on time. Hmm.. was abit surprised to see my instructor was so young. My impression on all driving instructor are all old and quite fierce-looking.. hahahaha......He was only 4 year older than me. Not bad looking... anyway... I had a hard time co-ordinating the clutch, brakes etc and my engine keep on stalling.. so paiseh...

My instuctor asked me whether is he very fierce.. i replied nope and he said why I give him an impression that I'm very scared of him and I keep on apologizing... Hmm.. actually if he never mentioned.. I never noticed that..

While driving, we did chatted abit and he asked me whether I went clubbing. I replied I do and he futher pressed on which club I frequent. I told him those clubs in Mohammad Sultan. He told me his friend opened a pub in Boat Quay and if next time I visitied him, my friends and I might be able to get a discount... I was thinking whether is he hinting to me he wanna asked me out?

My colleague Audrey is so mean and irresponsible! I think it is damn horrible working with her. Supposingly I had to go Kelong Trip with her but Jason warned me that she is trying to push the project to me... Of coz lah! She has already achieved her 'no. of members participated' targets and she is asking me to clear her shitty job! Sucks! Jason is leaving us next month and she is going to be the 'head' of our project team. Sucks big time... I think she likes to get paid to do so little things.... Ok, come back to kelong thing... Initially she told me her auntie from Canada is staying over the weekend and she cannot go to kelong.. hence asking me to bring a friend along... She think I'm stupid izzit? The dates are planned by her and is her fu*king project.. why can't she go? I thought of an excuse too and told her is my grandmum's birthday and I need to go visit her in JB... Next, she gives me an excuse that her grandmum has passed away and need to go to her funeral... Oh my god! Can you believe it? She used the most extreme and ultimate mean excuse... Do you think I can reject? I then tell her... Ok lor.. After that, she is trying to conceal her 'happiness' and her look says 'I have won!' Fu*k her!

Jason told Kelvin that Audrey is trying to push the Sports Hub major project to him giving the excuse that Kelvin is more experienced and know more stuff about sports than her.. Hello? Her rankl is much higher than Kelvin and she get paid more than Kelvin so why must Kelvin do so much more? I totally lost my respect to her...

I abit regreted promising her going to Kelong.. although I will be paid overtime... I felt that I shouldn't help this kind of mean person... Oh Well.. I told myself I'm not going to help her 'clear her shit' anymore!
