It’s the normal routine again.

YJ and I finally managed to reach work ON TIME (:

We were thrown to do arrival callings, shop callings and GDS bookings for the whole damn day.

There wasn’t much to call so we sort of slacked a bit by using the internet. All we did was surf friendster, read blogs, check emails, played tetris and bejeweled.

It was damn funny when either of us would pop up of our cubical and peep over to go “eh, what you doing huh?” and started laughing so loudly when we see each other playing games or doing anything else except Opera and Lotus.

We also lunched early at 11.30am today because we didn’t have much breakfast. Disgusted by canteen food, we decided to go over to Super Brand Mall without knowing what to eat. In the end we settled for Macs.

Nearing the end of the day, we had to go down to level 1 (where the rubbish area is) and head to some engineering room to print out reports. I hate the place because it’s super smelly!

We had to print 4 days worth of reports because we didn’t get Thursday and Friday’s one printed out + the weekends.

Headed back upstairs to slowly count figures for another report and I heard that someone was looking for me over the phone. I thought it was some guest or something so I pretended I didn’t hear them calling my name but in the end they transferred the call over to me :(

And no, it wasn’t any guest but our dear assistant director of F&B; Goh.

“Hello, Kim ah. What time you guys knock off today? Can come help me with some stuff?”

“Actually, we’ve got nothing much to do already so we’ll just tell Nancy you’re looking for us and we leave now okay?”

“Okay, see you later at BQT office.”

I had no clue what he wanted us to help him with but it was good that we got to leave half an hour earlier because we really had nothing to do. Even if we stayed, we’ll end up playing online games for another half an hour.

In the end, Goh wanted us to help him reply email (s). He told us what he wanted to reply and we had to go up to Yi Café to take measurements of a coffee machine -.-

We took like one and a half hours helping him reply the email. It doesn’t sound as crazy as it seems because he took time explaining to us what to reply, we went up to measure the coffee machine, went down to type the email, waited for him to come back and check, spent more time discussing what else to include, editing the email and attachment and finally sending it to the EAM of F&B.

And you know what, we could clock in this extra one and a half hours as OT! :D Goh even agreed to treat YJ and I to Yi Café someday because we helped him. Hahaha.

YJ and I were starving by the time we finished but the canteen food sucked today we didn’t even wanna eat there after looking at the food. We were deciding where to eat and almost settled on Subway but the only problem was that they didn’t have any seats!

So, we decided to go to Super Brand Mall again (minimum walking distance out in the cold) to eat (without knowing what we wanted).

In the end, we settled for Korean food! 1 Bibibap meal (miso soup + salad + fruits) cost us RMB30. C-H-E-A-P.

We both had a meal each and were super full after that because we finished everything on our plates!

Our initial plan was to drag time until 8.30pm to take the last shuttle bus home because we weren’t dressed very well for the cold weather (I was in flip flops and YJ didn’t bring her jacket).

But in the end, we ate until 8.45pm and decided to take a very slow walk home to digest the food and we reached home at 9.30pm!
