Short Trip

Just came back from a short trip on weds...went on a 4D3N cruise with my parents and bro, to Phuket and Langkawi. Call me ungrateful, but erm, that trip sort of reminded me why I have always preferred to go on 'real' holidays with proper destinations than spending days on a vessel then going on land trips to places. Heh...I'm ashamed to say this, but the trip was 95% paid for by dad, including the spending $..hee. The last 5%? Well...some cash I changed into Thai Baht and Ringgit thats all.

My parents had a short break away from work, that explains why they could go away. They actually had to put in long hours for that silly business..imagine having to work the whole yr through, and the only rest you can have is the first 2 days of CNY...and the rare off days that probably happens only once every couple of months. Anyways, enough of that. Point is, nonetheless, it was still a good break. Well...I just came back from Phuket last August. Nice place to go to, but this time, the company I had wasn't right. Langkawi? Well...it's a super sleepy town. Boring, to say the least. As I've told everyone by now, the most strenuous profession on that island is probably the cashiers working in the mall (if you call that a mall, that is). But you know...it's kinda sad too, if you think about it. Imagine someone your age, running a coffee shop for the rest of your life, not having seen the world or done anything more than that. I dunno...I just find that kinda sad. Life is definitely more than that, yet these folks won't know life beyond what they are living now. Oh well. At least they are their own boss? Ha...

Tomoro is the day when we'll move office. It was a super bad, unfortunate, unlucky, suay, whatever-you-call-it Friday that day. Anything that could possibly go wrong did go wrong. Anyways, I don't want to be reminded of that day. More like black Friday. And this week is a crucial week, with the moving, the logistics that have got to be in place and running...man, that's enough to kill me. Not to mention the work that I'm supposed to submit loh. Still haven't got orders for work on labour day (yeah it's a holiday...tell me about it). Hopefully we'll be let off this year. Arghh. Enuff said.

I haven't touched my work one bit, even though I lugged home the whole batch. Went out on Sat, and spent whole of Sunday (today) packing my table. Remnants of my house-moving almost 2 months back. Yeah, I was waiting this whole time for the last bit of the furniture-puzzle to come in before I can unpack the last 5 boxes of my stuff. Hey it isn't easy alrite? I moved from a smaller to bigger house, but bigger to smaller room. Sigh...tell me about it.

I had to do selection of what goes where, where to chuck the others...well I guess my room can be considered completed...but not my table. Whatever that's supposed to go on my table is chucked on my table...a heap of mountain. Will only get to do it on Tues, if I don't have to work. Otherwise, have to wait till next weekend...AND I simply hate having things not in order, messy and all. Urghh..

All that packing has left me sleepy. Perhaps it's the late night I've been keeping too. *yawn* Feel like a hungry ghost today..dunno why. I've been eating non-stop this whole day...gosh. It's nearly 2am..I oughta go to bed soon...Otherwise the Monday will be real blue tomoro. Or should I say today. Anyways...I've got lotsa photos to put up...but I'm a little lethargic to deal with them now. So I shall put up some first.

Just some random pictures that I took with Isabel that day when we were working late. Boredom took over, that's why. Haha...
