Night Owl Chatterboxes - Part XXXII!

it's actually becoming really cool at my place
i think the room is warm and the air outside the room is cool.. i put a fan to blow air out of the room so that cool air comes into the room...
so the room is cool, without the need for airconditioning..
in fact, when it gets really late, i need a blanket to sleep comfortably

17 more days... its coming so slowly!!!
-
i have 2 more weeks to endure until i'm on leave
the next 2 weeks will be murder -
Just got back from Tesco Lotus Phuket Shopping Mall.
Place is more of a hypermart like Giant. Same ole stuffs they sell.
Stepmother brought me there for a hair cut after picking up the half sister from her school actually.
We ate at the food court. Manzzz....the dishes are soooo salty. Even my stepmother was complaining. Guess its to bluff those Angmohs eating at that food court.
In the end, did some window shopping and brought some more cosmetics which I dont use.
-
and we have to work tomorrow.
what is this??? there has been work on saturdays so often it doesn't feel like a 5 day week.
so many hours of my life has gone to that... organisation.
everyone feels its a waste of their life. -
Tesco is evil!
they get their stuff from places like Bangladeshi sweatshops where they pay their overworked factory workers US$20 a month -
i have to work on sunday.. and the sunday after that too..Originally posted by kopiosatu:and we have to work tomorrow.

ang mohs love salt, i have no idea why.
my cousin brought his friends over from the states and they like to request for salt... -
just like singaporeans love chilli..
too many will eat cardboard as long as it's impregnated with too much insanely spicy and potent chilli -
I tried to ask stepmother to make papa allow me to ride a motorycle in Phuket.
She is against me riding also. Says dangerous lah, riders here not discipline lah & folks here not careful lah blah blah blah....(Imagine that! I dont speak a word or Thai, she dont speak a word of Mandarin & we know what we both are talking about!)
Sigh......
Then she mentioned that Papa wants me to go up to Changmai/Chang Lai with them end of the year for a week. To spent the new year relaxing at their Changmai/Changlai Home.
Now I am stucked....I either has to cook up a friend who willing to do a long distance drive with me in one of the pick up to changmai, or squeeze in with them in one pick up to changmai/changlai. We might fly over to Changmai/Changlai even....
I wouldnt mind a road trip...and I would prefer to be taking turns driving. Anyone keen? You just fly over to Phuket and we drive. Or some friends can meet me in Changimai so I wont be that lonely?
I cant say Dont go! -
not forgetting 24hr duties.Originally posted by the Bear:i have to work on sunday.. and the sunday after that too..
with higher ups saying we're being unproductive while we're on duty.
i'm heading to bed, need to grab more sleep. -
I should mention.Originally posted by the Bear:Tesco is evil!

The accountant at my papa's office, she speaks, understand english & is familiar in office duties. She is paid 650 baht per month. That works out to S$28 per month.
Those blangah has it better! -
seriously, i wish i could take leave..
at least 10 days burnt
and kopi.. let it pass...
if they say anything, say this "They also serve, those who stand in reserve."
and if they don't understand that, they're really not material to be leaders.. -
Still...Did I look angmoh?Originally posted by kopiosatu:ang mohs love salt, i have no idea why.

Why do they have to serve me a dark sewage colour soup with mini pieces of meat and strange oval shaped meat balls that taste like I am consuming salt water? -
how come so little?Originally posted by viciouskitty74:I should mention.

Poor kopi & bear.
Should I mentioned how much I am NOT DOING here in Phuket?
-
i've never wished bad on people who are enjoying themselves in tropical paradise
in fact, apart from the wish that i was also there, i am happy for them
oh well.. i will wait until a lot of next year has passed, then it's time for me to go on a long vacation -
Ask me also no use...I will have to ask my Papa in detail. Afterall, stepmother and me may have miscomn and the information is wrong. Though it couldnt be wrong, cos she seen me do the conversion on calculator and she says its S$30 per month, based on her own memory of $$$ exchange.Originally posted by the Bear:how come so little?
Labour is ultra cheap in Thailand it seems. -
but also not so cheap right?
i miss places like Samui..
i like lazing around in tropical places -
double checked.
It is this cheap!
Phuket is heavily reliant on tourist, and has no production on its own. -
fwah.. maybe one day i go retire and build a pub in Samui...
and i might even open it to the public
-
That is very viable. That is what everyone here are doing. There is actually quite a number of investors here. They dont necessary reside here.Originally posted by the Bear:fwah.. maybe one day i go retire and build a pub in Samui...
and i might even open it to the public
The local President/leader of the chinese chamber of commerce is a taiwanese with fishery business with papa, and he owns quite a number of chinese restuarant dotted around Phuket.
Though most folks prefer to retire in Chagmai..where they have rice plantation lands and the weather is not as humid.
Samui does not garantee constant income due to the tourist/monsoon seasons. -
i would like it if the revenue is immaterial
say.. you should go into business.. you have a head for it -
Like??? Sell yoru backside?Originally posted by the Bear:i would like it if the revenue is immaterial

think of something lah.. keep wanting to sell other people's backsides
i think with your practical knowledge, you'll be fine at it
"common sense" is in short supply these days and you have a lot of it!Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Like??? Sell yoru backside?
