On the 5th February, 2010, our company has sponsored us to go for a company trip to KK. The main reason why we have this trip is to celebrate my boss 50th birthday. My lady boss said wanted to make the celebration special as it is his 50th and only birthday in his lifetime. So she has proposed this trip to our boss early october. At first, we thought the trip is not gong to work because our boss and our lady boss have been quarelling for a quite a long time just for this trip. I think it is because to sponsor all the staffs to go for this trip, it will cost a lot. As you know, my boss is quite calculative and stingy especially if anything concerns money. But then don't know how and when he seems to be accepted the trip and there we goes for the trip. To tell the truth, majority of us don't feel like going at all because we know the trip is not going to be fun and would be quite stressful......
5th February, 2010, Friday
Our flight is at 2.00 pm in the afternoon so we still have to work half day in the morning till 12.00 pm today. I guess most of us wasn't in the mood to work too and I was wondering why we have to work half day at all and it will be quite rushing for us to get to the airport later. After work, I went directly back home and have a quick lunch then rush to the airport. We arrived at KK around 2.30 pm as we get on the plane quite early, not as the scheduled time. All of us, 15 of us (my boss, his wife, his mother, two sons and a daughter, my lady boss, and we all 8 staffs, waiting at the main entrance of the airport for cars to bring us to the hotel for checking in. So this is not a well planned trip so we got a bit problem with the transport thing but in the end everything has sorted out. Checking into the hotel called NOVATEL HOTEL situated in the same building with this new opened shopping mall, ONE BORNEO in KK. Me and my senior clerk shared a room. The room was ok and all that, quite comfortable and classy but i knew tonight i can't even have a good sleep at all. After that, we went to have some tea with our boss at a coffee shop called IPOH TOWN COFFEE SHOP. Drinking this stupid coffee, mixture of tea and coffee that makes me feel so uncomfortable and feel like vomiting. Then at night having dinner at a seafood restaurant called PORTVIEW RESTAURANT, eating lots of expensive seafood such as prawn, fish, clam and more. But I can't even finish my bowl of rice as I am not feeling good after drinking that stupid coffee. I guess I can't drink coffee at all. After dinner, we went to the nightlife in KK. Went to a pub where there is live band performance. Drinking beer, listening to the singing, it was really suffering. The smell of the cigarrette makes all my hair so smelly and it was so noisy too. I thought this is it and then we can go back to our hotel then but then they went to another pub again which is even worse. There are a few dancer who perform this pole dance but....nothing special about it as they are only dancing like normal around the pole. I was thinking of seeing something like they are spinning from the top of the pole to the bottom of the pole but none. That place is even worse, more noisier and boring too. My boss is having his 50th birthday celebration there where all the people there sang the birthday song for him and even the dancer invite him to dance with them which he really did and my lady boss was dancing like crazy and a few of my colleague too. A few of us just sit there like a fool seeing them enjoy themselves and keep on wondering, what is so fun about this. I feel like we are here just for work, as if we are the PR lady accompanied our boss to go out for drinking. The celebration goes till 1.30 am at night then finally we could get back to our hotel room. One of my colleague is even drunk till collapse. We have to carry her back to the car. That night was a tough night, I didn't even sleep at all as I really miss home, my bed, my hubby and my son too.

I wake up quite early this morning just to call my hubby to wake my son from sleep. He is having replacement class today and have to go to school today. So I am the alarm to wake them up and after that I couldn't sleep anymore. Watching TV till 9.oo am until me and my senior feel so hungry. So both of us went down to the shop and have breakfast at the same coffee shop we have coffee yesterday. Well then all the others came and meet us up and have breakfast with us. After the breakfast, then it is really our free time. We all go shopping in ONE BORNEO. Me and my colleague spend half day to finish wandering the whole area of ONE BORNEO and found out that there is not much thing to buy at all. The things are so expensive and not worth it at all. But I did buy something for my hubby and son as I have promised them I would buy them something. Buy clothes for my hubby and toys for my son. Then have pizza with our lady boss then went back to our hotel room for resting. At night, having dinner at the restaurant in our hotel. Having buffet dinner and the food was horrible. Then tonight, we all went back to sleep early as our flight is at 7.00 am tomorrow.
