Work is seriously b-o-r-i-n-g.

We reported at 9am (was late for 15mins :P) and started keying in data for no-show. After awhile, Angeline asked us to do arrival calls.

To do that, we had to print out reports from Opera and manually filter those that we had to send emails to and those that we had to call. It took a lot of time and we had to do arrival calls for 26 and 27 Oct. We spent the whole morning doing it and Nancy had to call us in her office to brief us.

Patrick, YJ and myself were inside the room listening to her talk. She went on and on for like 45mins until I almost dozed off.

Lunched at the staff canteen today because we’re running low on cash. We spent the last half an hour walking around the hotel looking for Ehui or Goh. Oh, yesterday Ehui’s wife gave birth to a baby boy!

Too bad we couldn’t find them so we went back to work. Seems like they aren’t very willing to let us go back to BQT for support because Goh called them and he wanted us down for 5 days. SOS-ed Ehui and he wasn’t in the hotel today so we’re gonna look for him tomorrow.

Went back to the office and did more calls. We even printed out 28 and 29 Oct and sent emails to them first so we’ll have less work tomorrow.

All the filing is done by Patrick now cuz he can’t call because he can’t speak Chinese. After emailing, we needed to do the daily report and pass it to Nancy. We then updated more no-show data until 6pm and then we left.

Canteen food twice a day is a no no so we walked back home. Bought some pastry from Gourmet and then we walked past Citi Group building (right beside Shang). I had a strong feeling there was a Subway inside so YJ and I decided to find out. Asked the receptionist and omg there really was one small outlet! :D :D :D

The good thing is that it’s nearer than Pearl Tower and also they have offer’s for daily subs!

I was planning to cook Maggie for dinner but when we got home, Joanne and Angela wanted to walk around downstairs. We watched “Rob B Hood” first before heading downstairs.

It was quite quiet at first because there weren’t many stalls, but slowly more and more stalls were being set up and it was like how it looked like on Sunday (:

I didn’t have anything in mind to buy so I was purely looking for food to eat. In the end I went to buy Shao Kao, twice.

In the end, we spent most of the time at some stall which sells accessories because the quality was really good. I bought like 4 rings and 2 pairs of ear-rings. I also walked past a watch shop and bought a watch I really liked for RMB80.

It doesn’t matter if I go broke now because we can get our pay on 26 Oct! Hopefully no cock ups this time?

By the time we finished walking around it was already 11pm. We felt hungry so we decided to eat Shao Kao downstairs our home. I love some vegetable thing it getting so addictive. And it’s RMB1 for each stick! CHEAP like nobody’s business.

Came home and watched “The Heartbreaker Kid” before going to bed.
