Last night YJ and I waited for Angela to come home because she went out with her hostesses for dinner and she had stuff to tell us about the "stolen" stove and water heater.

Her shifu- Anglea (yeah same name luh) apparently called up our landlord and spoke to him and he agreed to get the stove and water heater back for us and we didn’t have to pay anything.

It's somewhat super duper weird and all of us think that our landlord or his dad is involved in this whole matter.

The whole story has so many loopholes.

Firstly, the 2 guys that came knew so much about us until the extent that he knew our washing machine was leaking last time.

They looked so familiar I think they were the cable guys that came to fix up the internet connection from JY's place!

And why would our landlord call us like 1 hour after the "robbery" to ask us if a group of people came to our house to maintain something or not if he didn't even know who they were.

Although he claimed that they called his dad, how in the world did the 2 guys get our landlord's number?

Our landlord said that all these information (landlord's name, number, where we come from etc) can be found ONLINE. Like, huh?

It's just too weird to believe.

So today I had to like wake up at 6.30am, go over to JY's place to turn on the heater, come back home to sleep and woke up at 7.15am to bathe at their place. Yup, their water heater is damn troublesome. You'll need to turn it on 1/2 hour or more before you can use hot water.

OH. The 2 guys that came were such assholes too. Before taking away the water heater, they told us to turn our taps and everything to the 'hot' side. And after they took out the water heater, he asked "no more water already right?" And yeah, it was weird that there was no more water.

So last night I was thinking about it and it seemed IMPOSSIBLE to not have ANY water just because our water heater was gone. It's not like he took away our water supply. So, I tried flushing the toilet- it worked.

And when I tured on the sink tap there was water. The more I shifted it towards the "cold" side, the more water came out. Damn those stupid guys that made us believe that we had NO water at all. Assholes.

It's raining today! There was only a slight drizzle when YJ and I went out so we decided to pass taking umbrellas and walking to work so we tried to flag for a cab.

We stood in the drizzle (which was getting heavier by the minute) and the wind was like damn strong. No cabs. Our hands were numb and we were freezing cold. We stood on the road for like 10mins before we finally got a cab to our hotel!

So, we reached the office way before 9am. Oh what an achievement (:

And I finished calling for arrivals for Sat & Sun before lunch time! :D

We didn’t even want to look at the food in the staff canteen today. I was craving for MCD so we went there straight.

But on our way to the exit, we met this lady who needed help because her stuff was at the staff entrance and she had to bring them to Beijing Room for their conference. There was a miscommunication between the people in-charge, the security guards etc.

They were so pissed so we tried to call BQT for help. In the end they had to move their goods from one exit to another. YJ and I were freezing cold because we were outside trying to help resolve their problem.

In the end the BQT security came and brought them to the correct place so they could bring their stuff up and we ran to Super Brand Mall because we were so cold!

When we came back from lunch, we had to do shop calls again and I had to call for arrivals for Monday. Estella gave me 3 thick stacks of travel agent’s data and asked me to change all their bank accounts.

Its like, 3 stacks of 20+ sheets. Thank goodness there are 3 of us- YJ, Patrick and I so we split the work. But, it’s still a lot!

We need to go into Opera, find the information by keying in this 8 digit IATA number, and change the bank account from USD or RMB to CNY.

Damn troublesome can. All the numbers are making me go crazy. We have until next Friday to finish all of it. Omg.

Work ended and we headed to Lotus to buy fruits! Then we walked to SUBWAY to take away for our dinner! :D

We also helped JY and Angela to take away and the 4 of us came home to eat accompanied by chicken wings bought by JY (:

I’ve survived yet another week! And most importantly, I’ve survived one week of doing call arrivals! Just ONE more week of that to go! :D
