Joseph and Mary Business Trip

So I'm home from my 4 days and 4 nights part time work in Genting, the most commercialize highland in Malaysia.

Thanks to Rachel =), we got this job oppurtunity over there from Monday to Wednesday to help in the Genting 1st Employees Carnival Celebration. The company I'm working for are the ones handling the games and entertainment for the event.

I never bring my camera up there, so sorry no pics =S But we brought Rachel's digicam, so all the pics are inside there, will edit and upload soon!

It is a special business trip by Joseph and Mary aka Fishball aka Elaine Siah. Only both of us are going to this event,the others cannot make it. Departing on Sunday evening at 4pm bus from KL Sentral to Genting, we nearly nearly SUPER nearly miss the bus. If we were later just by 5 seconds, the bus dunno go where already, luckily I ran to the bus door and knock it loudly many times!!

Once we reach skyway, we went all the way up and met up with Charleen, carrying Elaine's super heavy bag is really...a great start to the journey? XD Then we start work right away!
There were 3 bosses, and a number of workers! But I'm the only sesat chinese dude there haha! The rest were indian guys but they were all very friendly, I made a lot of new friends there. There were also girls, 3 chinese girls and 1 mixed! They were Rachel's friends except one and they are a nice bunch!

We stayed at Ria Apartments and I was assigned to the Dart game booth on Monday, our work time from 10am-10pm, Tuesday is 10am-5pm and Wednesday 8.30am-8pm. Entering my apartment with the new guys, I talked to some of them till 2.30am then I set the alarm at 6.30am, and get ready for the long day ahead!

You know what's the hardest part when you work in the game booth? It is standing up without sitting and you can feel the FEEL on your ankles! Even we have a chair after that, it was no use =S At the end of the day, still quite pain~ Throughout the day, I had many funny, weird customers but comparing to Elaine's booth, I had a few customers because my stall is situated across the hall, so lesser people go there.

Meeting with customers of all ages and races while running the booth DOES certainly gives you a good experiences, you'll see some fussy customers, some funny ones, some keep coming back for more until it drives you mad (Elaine had a good experience with that...).

BUT actually the best part of everything is when we get the chance to see the performances invited by the management especially Dazzle, a combination of magic, illusion, dance and shadow hand performance, that was good. That makes the standing up for 12 hours with weird customers ALL worth it =D

Then we brought our own 'drinks', if you know what I mean. Some Absolut Peach and VSOP Platinum on the go at the cold windy Genting night certainly feels great, a new experience. And hands down this was the coldest Genting experience ever. The wind was sooo strong, if not for the alcohol and the hard work carrying all the heavy items, I'll be having brain and body freeze 24/7!

On the third and final day, after work ended at 8pm, we watch yet another singing performance and it ended at 10pm. Then we started packing up the tents and items till 1.30am, then we depart down to Kelana Jaya. With a total of nearly 12 hours of sleep in the 3 nights stay there, I sleep instantly in the car until we reach the office at 3am. Over there we unpack some more, carry all the heavy stuff. By then my strength was like...tofu. Finish everyting it was 4am, we went mamak, left at 4.40, then by 5.20am I was at Elaine's house.

I talked to her awhile, the next thing I knew I was asleep on her sofa till 8.30am!! And soon after that I was home, dad brought me home. And I just had one of the most tiring yet exciting Genting 'Vacation' ever!

=)

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

Uncle Kracker -Smile

you make me smile for sure =D
