Bye bye to yet another H-Ar-Dee

Yup ... we are concerned ... we are worried ... we are so wound up about how she would act as this month is her appraisal month ... and we are uncertain if it will get messy or not. However, to our surprise, when the Sill finally got her to do her appraisal ... she offered her own resignation instead! Apparently she says she is going to get a job in Singapore and getting married while she tells the staff she will be working in KL and to give her their CV!

Anyway, as is norm for her, she requests her final payment to be made as she doesn't want to wait ... while when she worked for us, she insisted that all staff waited for their payment as per each month's progression ... she and the Pus Man, same same same!

And the best part is that the Sill told the M not us and we found out through emails. So that meant that he is changing sides. In fact, I get the feeling that he believes only the M is trustworthy and that fowl and us are nasty bastards. Well, little does he know it is also the M that is not trustworthy and actually sabotaging him or stabbing him in the back! Stupid French man! Why can he not open his eyes and see and absorb and think for himself!

Ah well ... we didn't even see the woman for farewell ... she just kept to herself and disappeared!

Day 5 ... bye bye Thailand ... and back to the nightmare world of ... Sepang ...

We have a half day before going to the airport but my foot is getting bad ... so after makan at our hotel, I told Eye Sag to go for it ... but he didn't. He decided it was too hot. So all we did was stayed in our tiny hotel room with no TV killing time until ... taxi arrived

For once, our taxi was without drama! Hah!

The airport ... unfortunately was a dead bore. No shopping outside the gates ... and within? Not much as well in terms of duty free. All I picked up was a bookmark. I know, right? I so wanted to buy something ... anything! Hahaha!

Anyway, all in, it was still decent

I wanted to type here that the only thing that spoiled this trip is when I come home, I ran into the Dare and the Vanity ... but you know what, let's not. Let's keep this entry, the final day of my holidays ... clean and full of happy memories, shall we? Hehehe!

Cheers!

Day 4 ... Krabi cruising n motorcycle journey ... and the conmen continues again ... argh!

It was unbelievable ... we walked from one shop to another but could not find any boat going to Phi Phi with available seats ... only private charter available and they want to charge us like RM500 or more ... shit shit shit! So in the end, Eye Sag suggested we go to this cove and we took the long boat over ... to our surprise it is just 2 turns away from our place ... not a different island but it was ok ... it was stunning ... it reminded me of Pulau Kapas 12 years ago ...

A strip of beautiful land ... we landed ... and we walked through all the small shops ... until we decided on a beach front cafe for breakfast ... it was surprisingly yummy and with perfect weather and breeze ... I went swimming on each end of the beach

Unfortunately the sea is quite bereft of colourful fish ... after that, it was a long wait for the next available boat back to the Krabi ... from there, we decided to take a motorcycle and go romping all over the island ... it was brilliant ...

We drove down from our hotel, passed a strip of shops that I would have loved to go see ... and then through a forest reserve ... this was amazing with gigantic trees ... and islands that we can walk across ...

Then we drove to the jetty and it was up and out to another area where the "princess residence" was except we were warned off ... so I decided to go Sofitel ... Daguise is not around ... but we had a nice time at his resort ... it was amazing compared to where I am hehehehe

And then for our final night's makan, Eye Sag chose the hill top grill ... it was perfect ... great view of sun set and great food ...

After that we had a good quiet time ... my leg is killing me with gout ... but I forced myself to walk ... he did a foot massage while I had 2 rounds of floats ... hehehe

So all in, today was perfect!

Day 3 ... Phuket to Krabi ... first impressions and the con men continues ...

Man you know what really riles me? Con men. This morning, we woke up early as we are told that the van that will pick us up for our journey to Krabi is at 7:15am. So we slept late, woke up early, showered and came down to wait. The van that came? Average but to our surprise, there was no one else. So all was good

We even stopped by a wayside shop for refreshments. And all was still good

And then ... and then ... BANG ... we stopped at a "station" where lots of others are crammed in ... we were told that this is the bus station and from here we will have to take a taxi to our destination ... and as it is not in any town, we have no choice but to pay the asking price ... another 30% of our original agreed upon price ... and this time? We were crammed into a smaller rundown van!

That sort of spoils the entire experience. Next is when we touch down at our hotel and the room was not ready yet. Ugh! The staff was mighty polite. The sun was blazing hot. We were hungry. We were thirsty. And so we walked ... and walked ... and walked ... and as we walked, the sights improved ... lots of shops, lots of mountains and the sea beyond! It was nothing like party Patong. This was a place where the sea was perfect ... and the beach had no one charging you for umbrellas, massages, hookers, hawkers, whatever crap. You can actually walk!

And walk we did ... we walked down to the end of one side and saw this place called the last fisherman ... great place, great people ... great simple lunch!

After that, it was back to the hotel and ... the rooms were ready ... awesome bed ... awesome mini tv channels. So all in, Krabi just scored highly in my books

A good nap and we are back outside ... sitting down eating our first roadside snacks ignoring the lure of McD and Starbucks! Hahahaha! After that we walked down the other side of the beachfront right to the end and took tons of sunset photos. Then we slowly walked back towards the Last Fisherman because the main hotel promised free shows and it was indeed free. You can even watched it on the road

We took a nice table ... took our sweet time ordering drinks ... food ... and more drinks ... nice food ... great staff ... the show? Well there was chap on guitar singing away ... then traditional dance with kampung story ... then another man joined the first to sing ... followed by kickboxing ... and more singing with dancing by guests ... and finally the fire eating show which was way cool especially as they come in 2 acts and the one behind me caught me by surprise!

Finally all guests are invited to Karaoke and there are some caucasians who did so!

All in, a decent evening night ... and time was so slow! We did so much and it was just scratching 10:00pm

Day 2 ... Phuket ... Island Hopping ... and the con men are out in force ...

Today is the day for our island hopping adventure and what an adventure it is! A few minutes before the appointed time, we walked over to the big hotel and waited for our transport. It arrived slightly late which was fine ... then they drove us down to the beach front to pick up a pair of Korean ladies and then reverse on the same road backward to pick up an elderly gentleman ... and without another word, we drove and drove and drove ... until we reached this turn off that looked like a rundown warehouse ...

We were told to get off and there is a dingy area with dirty tables ... the guy told us to sit down at one table ... and everyone did ... but I didn't wanna cramp and moved to another table ... they pointed out the "free coffee n tea" as per our tour itinerary ... a few old cups, a hot water dispenser and some instant coffee n tea bags ... ugh ... do NOT want to get food poisoning yo!

Then after a few more arrivals (cutie alert - 4 China lads who behaved suspiciously G-A-Y) came and sat down at our table ... we were asked to go out friend ... the guy gave out free snorkelling masks ... but said that the fins were chargeable ... and he showed us photos of sea urchins and said where we were going, there are such things and it is cheaper to rent the fins than to pay doctor and he will not be responsible if we get injured ... did he know that the spines of an urchin can go through the fins? I had that incident in Trengganu! What a scamp. He even said if we wish to feed the fish, we need to buy the bread! What a scamp!

Next we went to the first island ... beautiful ... except our tour guide told us the chairs were THB150 ... and that we should all stay in the same area ... we wanted to explore and he kept trailing us all over the small island herding us back ... so annoying!

After that, for our second stop, we didn't even go to an island but stop in the middle of the sea ... can we say it? What a scamp! Of course while the guide went into the sea with some of the guests, the boat chap was nice enough to bring out free bread for tossing into the sea and feeding the fishes

By that time, one of the guests onboard was annoyed and she told the guy time was up and let's move

Predictably, when we reached our final stop, our skinny guide said that here they will provide sandwiches and drinks but told us that we are a "high class tour", do not act cheap and please pay the THB150 for the chairs ... he even said that he can look after our things if we pay rather than we go all over the island ... again the island is so small! This guy is just freaking unbelievable

When we reached the island finally, the foreigner guests who didn't quite understand what he said kept on asking if the chairs were chargeable etc but he avoided answering directly anymore. Such a nasty bastard

Thank goodness all the islands were beautiful and Eye Sac actually sat in the water for this one because there is a shallow safety zone so at least he got to enjoy. Hehehehehe!

After that, we reached back our hotel surprisingly ... traffic was good ... and at around 7:00pm, Eye Sac agreed to try the cultural village. As it was too late for the free transport, we sewa a moto from the neighbour (Jap gal) ... and headed out ... and no regrets there. It was a good time as we coasted along seeing many beautiful scenery until about 20 min later we are at FANTASEA round 2

We ate, took photos ... and was so tempted to shop but the prices?!?!?! Ugh. A T-shirt for RM60?

When we are done, it was not even half past nine. So we hoofed it back stopping at one place to check out the sights and decided to go back to our area, returning motor ... and walking around trying to find a place for drinks ... ending at this mobile bar ... a van parked next to Jungceylon

And that is the end of our adventure in Phuket ... next up? Krabi

Day 1 Phuket ... Round 2 ... Post 2

The weather is so bleeding hot that after checking in, we went out for a stroll to look for food ... but being so deserted, we sort of gave up and stop at McD ... had a meal ... a bit more sweat and walked back to our room, showered (again) ... and just chill out until evening ...

Then Eye Sag wanted to explore and we did ... and was disappointed ... the beach party? No more ... the fire lantern? No more ... and in fact, it (lantern) has been banned for safety reasons ... so the whole place was generally crowded but not as festive as last year ... we then went up all the way to Jung Cey Lon and it was kinda average and everywhere else too which was really sad ... for the next day we decided to go for the 3 island tour ... and had a pleasant dinner and a quiet night ...

Not really we decided to go out yet again! And this time Eye Sag wanted to club ... so he wanted to go to the neighbouring road ... until he realized it was the gay zone ... hahaha ... then we went down the normal ladies place and watched the boobs and all but the oddest thing is he is reluctant to go into the a-go-go shows and the ping pong game and topless areas ... we walked through the chicks area so fast that I am not sure what he hopes to see!

After that we stopped at a live band place for beers and that's it because the rest of the place looks kind of lame!

Day 1 ... Phuket ... Round 2 ...

After 9 months of working in this place, I know I needed a break to re-charge and this is it! My first break and it is only to clear cumulative off-days and what-not ... originally we are supposed to make this an informal fun trip ... but unfortunately as is typical one by one all those committed dropped out ... not really shocking right?

It even got close to the point that I may not go but I decided to just go for it and see if anyone will ask me not to ... which no one did, thank goodness!

So it was me and Eye Sag only ... and on the eve, we both rushed home to pack and I was even online with him at 10:00pm settling a few issues ... I had a tough time sleeping ... and managed to get maybe 3 hours of sleep ... at 4:45am this morning, I left the room ... and went with him and his sis-in-law ... who drove us to the airport ... and we ARE ON OUR WAY!!!

There are no dramas except that we thought we are early ... when we come down the escalator ... the gate had closed but lucky thing we were not the only one for this final batch and we all ran for it ... hahaha

CUTIE ALERT - the Malay air steward is adorable, tall, slim and the few times he bent over at my aisle ... va-va-va-voom!

Incident alert ... as we taxi out ... the pilot announced a problem ... and we taxi back to the airport and had to wait for technical glitch to be fixed and all this time, my stomach kept giving me cramps. Honestly I was worried that I would have to make a mad dash for the washroom ... thank goodness the technical was brief and we were airborne shortly ... and my stomach cramps came and went ... so I managed to survive the flight ... pathetic, I know!

Phuket appeared beautiful before us ... except for the cab. All the people standing there with fixed rates and it was a bloody THB1500 to Patong beach ... what a rip off! I should have pre-booked and could have done it for THB700 or thereabouts! Ugh

Will continue this later in the night ...

Pus Man Strikes Back

Or at least he is trying to ... so this is what happened ... I was having my usual days ... in other words bad, right? And then right in the middle of yet another bad day I received 2 letters one of whom was hand written and guess what? It was a registered letter from the Pus!

Right at once, I took it to HRD and opened in her presence and there you have it ... threatening legal action ... so typical ... and so greedy ... he got his full payment and all that and now he wants the entire quantum until the end of his contract!

But that's not all ... he even wants for emotional and all that kind of stuff ... like you see in the novels or in the movies ... can you beat that? Some people ...

So what a shit day this is turning out to be, right? What a life working here with these types of people

John Carter ... of Earth ... of Mars

Yes that's the highlight of today - a movie. It is so good (see my movie review) that I just couldn't believe how awesome it was ... but that unfortunately is the highlight of my day ... aside from that, I spent the day walking around KLCC ... trying to decide on whether to buy or not an iPad 2 ... yup I am that indecisive ...

Cutie for the day? So anyway as I was with my sis ... and aside from movie and shopping, I didn't think I would see any ... and BANG there were 3 in succcession! Talk about good fortune. And these are really something to write about ... gay or not ...

First up, Koryo Won barman ... this is the Korean Restaurant that I had tried like 10 years ago in Wisma Antarabangsa ... bloody expensive ... semi decent starters ... great beef ... but that's about it ... and staffed predominantly by foreigners probably Myanmar ... and then suddenly from where I was seated I saw this young, slim and really cute lad ... he was standing near the counter preparing drinks ... tanned, clear skin and semi wavy hair with high forehead ... you know the type ... so adorable that I had a nice hour watching him while we had lunch hahaha!

Then after saying goodbye to my sis, I went walking around for 2 hours ... to work off as much as I can from the lunch ... when I walked past Raoul to see this perfect @$$ lad walking out of the shop ... he was working there ... horrible face with pockmarks but not ugly ... what attracted me is the trouers ... he was in front of me with long slim legs and firm ass with such a nice trousers that is tight but not overly so ... so you see the curves of the cheeks ... so wonderful until you feel like reaching out and smacking him hard! Hehehe! Naughty right?

And the third and final chap? A little bit more elderly (not decrepit old hahaha) Security at Exit of KLCC near Maxis ... he was guarding the taxi drop off point in full white uniform ... and short, slim ... and is aware of how good he looked in his well pressed uniform ... I know this because every now and then he kept on re-arranging his uniform and ensuring every fold and crease are prominant ... so yummy ... from afar ... don't think he is that hot up close though

Aside from that? The usual boring work stuff ... sigh ...

And now back to the usual cutie ...

This morning was the usual rush n rush n annoyance ... so what else is new? If it is the same shit, let's forget it and not BORE you all who happen to be wasting the remaining minutes of your life reading this ... I feel bad for you, ladies n gents ... hahahahahaha!

So let's move on to the juicier bits ... after an extremely busy morning ... I decided to pop by Eye We See ... and see how they do the training for reservation and front office ... and guess what? Cutie Sam was seated on back row ... I managed to even video him for a few seconds ... hehehe ... if only I have a good vid cam yes? Hahahaha!

And from the side angle, I can actually see the way his legs look and it is yummy from that angle ... except when I look from on top down ... it looks thick and muscular ... he is really so adorable ... I only wish I could find out if he is even inclined to experiment in that manner because if he is ... he can do me or I can do him or kiss him or stroke him from head to bottom and sniff him up ... hehehe!

I am a horny toad!

New Cutie ...

Today I have nothing special to report except I wake up with a wee bit of sore throat ... thanks probably due to Core ... we kissed because there was no way I could avoid it without hurting his feelings ... and he has sore throat etc ... and as expected he passed it to me ...

Anyway I noticed one of the Chinese trainees ... short hair standing up ... slim ... average height with that part white frame glasses? I saw him in the front office and a few other places ... but today? He was a 10 or at least a 9 ... he was in a long sleeved shirt (probably one of those G2000?) ... with different colour collar ... and walking in the canteen and you could just check out how cool and sexy he was ... and he knew it too with the way he was strutting about ...

And then in the evening ... while I was seated outside ... there he was coming over to Finance ... I need to find out which dept he is in now and go visit more often ... hahaha ... he is a hottie!

Tomorrow I am going to be really intense on my weight lost program! Sigh!

Flying day = happy day

People bitched all they want about the airport ... waiting ... starving ... thirsty ... especially in budget terminals where it is crowded and usually hot ... but you know what? For me, when you are in the airport, be it for work or holiday, this signifies you are about to embark on something new, something different from the routine ... and that works just fine for me, thank you very much

So I got up, showered, packed and went to my waiting cab for a nice drive to KLIA ... checked in with little hassle ... decided to skip all breakfast (diet and I am serious about this) ... and after walking non-stop pulling my bag for about an hour ... permit myself a latte at Coffee Bean ... and had the please sure of seeing a MAJOR CUTIE working directly in front of Coffee Bean at the Duty Free Cashier counter ... young Malay gentleman ... nice hair, nice face, skin, everything ... so yummy that I was debating whether I should go in and buy something just for the chance to talk to him and ... and decided better not! Hahahahaha!

Flight was uneventful ... and when I touched down Jakarta ... I had a refresher course in how CUTE Indonesian young men can be in uniform ... they are not handsome like the Malay chap but still sufficient slim and adorable in their various uniforms ... and this country loves their men in uniforms seeing as how every other job has a uniform. Hah!

Then it was on the way to the hotel ... jam jam jam typical Jakarta ... unfortunately the hotel was kind of average ... very poorly maintained with so many thing broken down in the room and we could even hear the lift dinging as our room is directly next to it ... after checking in, we decided to hoff down to the Korean restaurant for a somewhat pathetic lunch ala carte buffet ... about the only good thing here is the location ... we had a nice view of the going on of the hotel ... and the GM with his wife where the staff kowtow to him ... in fact it appears that this is the only time we see him ... when with family!

Next up, in view of the traffic (Roxette is in town and Core didn't tell me!) we decided to cab it to Tmn Anggerik ... to catch up with Justin C ... and talk about potentially working together and agreed on some terms ... there are not many cuties here surprisingly except for the supervisor at Old Town ... and he was getting kinda lumpy around the waist ... otherwise he could have been an 8 ...

Once we are done, we head to our usual ... Plaza Indonesia ... and by Bajai ... hehehe ... unfortunately we also did our usual fight ... and thus ended the evening ... miserable back at the hotel ... compounded by a miserable dinner ... at the Coffee House ... 40 min of waiting and power cut off and all they do is say sorry as it is Engineering ... it never came back on!

Tomorrow ... Sunday ... shopping day?

Back to normal ...

No more countdown to Pus ... no more countdown to beyond Pus ... because this is it! The start of the new era ... but enough about work ... why? Because today is busy busy busy ... but it is the usual ... Master Wong ... Vibrator Club Yap ... Cheeky Red ... and the usual gang clowning their way around ...

About the only noteworthy event ... supposedly according to Cheffy ... the Seal told a few chaps about Gavin's opinion of him ... which I find shocking ... why would he do that? I know he could be upset but ... to do that? Hmmm ...

So what's the highlight for cutie alert?

Saaaaaaaaaaaaam ... I told him the Snoopy thing today ... and he just smiled ... then I got to joke with them after the training ... and put my hand on his shoulders ... hehehehe ... I so want to touch that face and kiss him and see how that feels like ...

Jap Boy ... he is a trainee in Front Office ... one look at his face ... and you know he has Jap blood ... it is that obvious ... he has the typical slightly slack face of the Jap male ... hairy hands? ... and slim and easy going ... but geeky and so my type ... if he doesn't have too much chest hair ... I wouldn't mind having him in my bed? Ahahahahahahahaha!

N1 ... A New Day ...

Yup today is the first day ... post Pus Man ... he left yesterday ... and you know what? It is going to take us 3 months to clean up his ... so-called work/ achievements ... ugh!

Anyway ... that's why I put N1 ... New 1 ... first day ... let's be positive, right?

So how was this day? I cleared work in my room and all that ... then I went to supposedly meet the Ben ... and shocked to see the Pus with Seal and Ben at Sepoi2 ... and I walked away ... only to see Sher coming and asked her why he is there when he has left and shouldn't be back!

So I had a session with F&B ... followed by Ben ... to my shock ... Ben is so political ... he said he was worried we were asking him to go ... and I was shocked ... when I explained to him case by case of what happened and reasons behind ... he appeared relieved ... but up to him if he believes or not ...

After that, it was all a blur ... I meant it ... Master Wong ... and a host of work ...

But the real highlight? Seeing DVD of Noah's Ark that was discovered ... meeting the guy in the show ... and chatting with the wheelchair bound pastor ... and having a decent chat with him! People actually smiling a little more genuine smile ... thank goodness ... what a good feeling!

And tonight? Booked return flight to Jkt ... going to check out the SBI GM candidate's hotel to see how good he was ... yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ... so for me, today was a decent day
