Time flies
I have been working in this new company for 1 month plus!
Felt so happy to leave that miserable place! Not only me even my ex colleagues too! now left her.
But I believe she will get out from there! The reason i write here is to share my experience with you guys about my first outstation for business trip! Kluang was having Consumer Fair from 23 - 25 July 2010 at Kluang mall.
Date: 23-24 July 2010
Place: Kluang, Johor
I want to say it is seriously a super O M G experience for me! For a girl who have never stay in a budget hotel before will definitely feel worry and scared! Come let me tell you guys.
Saturday morning I woke up early to go dearie dear's house to cleanup hammies cage cause he will be outstation to Melaka! Ya I suppose to follow him but I chose my business trip instead of holiday trip! Glad I made the right choice cause I get to learn and observe the Consumer Fair and not to forget the good food there. While waiting for my colleague I just spend the short few hours with dearie dear! about 12plus colleague called and it's time to go! He say Grace we are just going there for 1 day why you bring so many bags? I said this bag is my water bottles! basically i just bring my mini luggage and my handbag! Journey starts!
ha-ha so coincidence we are using the same highway heading to our destination! My colleague is very funny. He said why don't we stop at the next pitstop then you can have time to meet your boyfriend! So I called dearie dear and he say OK! There is where I formerly introduced my colleague to dearie dear. I said OK so you go smoke I go restroom then buy food! Manage to spend half n hour with dearie dear! LOL and seeing dodgy sleeping in the car!
All ready again! We head to our own ways! During the trip I chated a lot with my colleague. Really a lot! thou I felt sleepy but I shy to sleep in his car so we just talk randomly - share experience, talk about the society, and of course work stuff guidance from him. BTW he is 34 years old still single and available! LOL. I would say he is a nice guy and good sense of humor. I said you are so good in talking I believe you can find a girl! He said I tried but still can't find one. LOL. Oh well I shall wish him good luck. Usually in office he laugh and make fun of me but I take it openly and sometimes I just ignore him! =P

We reach Kluang about 4plus. Straight away head to Kluang mall. FYI we didn't make any hotel reservations at all. ha-ha. In the mall we saw a lot of people and of course the Consumer Fair going on. head to our company booth. So happy to see my products display there and seeing the promoters helping to sell it. Curry and Honey is my product. The branch lady executive brought me and my colleague to the supermarket called PACIFIC a.k.a The Store. Looking at competitors product and any potential to sell or not. Basically just observed and of course give suggestions and advice to the promoters! tried my curry chicken too. cooked by branch lady. It taste good and nice. I love the potatoes. ha-ha. She complained it get burnt at the bottom of the rice cooker. ooOps didn't see it coming! Oh well what to expect cheap rice cooker.Just need to use it wisely. Then I walked around the mall alone to see what tenants they have. some shops i don't see in KL.

about 7plus branch lady brought us to eat. LOL. Before that we went around to see any hotel vacancy. I intro PrimeHotel at least it's less dodgy but chose the super duper old budget hotel. Outside looks so scary but no choice we don't have high budget! No choice. Next, The Kluang old town blackout. She wanted to bring us to this Asam Pedas Fish Restaurant but no lights so she bring us to this restaurant serve good hokkien mee, Satay and of course Otak otak. ahhh very nice! PORK satay. then I listen to her and my colleague talking cause I was still new.Chated until 9plus. Head back to the mall for awhile. about 10 plus we left search the hotel got down from the car carrying our luggages. Walking up the stairs looking at the receptionist area! All the things looks old and scary to me. It's like you watch those old chinese drama. He ask me to choose which room I want. I took Room 41 third floor. Tell myself to calm down and ignore it. Walked in the room quickly on the lights, fan, TV, air cond and close the curtain! Then call my dearie dear cause I was very scared. haih after that I go take shower. Got hot water but I must go out of the room and switch it on. I didn't know that until they told me the next morning! so COLD SHOWER that night! quickly shower, brush teeth and wash my face! on mini laptop to watch some shows.
The Hotel Room
Then sleeping time. ARGH! couldnt sleep well cause keep hearing something knocking, the lighting very noisy and the blanket so thin. Listen to my walkman but battery died later. gosh. I sleep with my specs on then i just watch tv till I fall asleep but I woke up again. In conclusion after sleeping 1 hour I wake up again! 3 a.m dearie dear sms me. I call him and chat for awhile. head to sleep and wake up 1 hour later. haih it was a disaster for me. The whole night I couldn't sleep well. 5 a.m I woke up again and I was hoping for MORNING. then sleep again wake up again I see bright sunlight! oh so happy! quickly go freshen up pack my stuff and wait for my colleague to call me. Laying on bed watching tv heard someone knocking but I ignore then I heard branch lady call me. rush to open the door. Time to go. YEAH before carry my stuff I took pictures of the room. done. grab my bag lock the door run down and just want to get out from there. Both of us share what happen last night! Didn't let him know I didn't sleep well cause I don't want him to make fun of me. BUT I'm proud of myself cause I took the challenge and overcome it. Really my first time experience. He said that he stay even worse budget hotel. Oh well, I'm glad its over. Branch lady brought us to this kopitiam near the Kluang railway station for breakfast.

Dearie dear waiting outside for me with umbrella. Bid goodbye to him and dearie dear thank him for sending and bringing me back here.LOL.
