Hello...
First time blogging from office.
Lucky that all my colleague is either out for prayers or smoking outside.
So today is Day 5 of work at the warehouse in Labuan.
My schedule is pretty much like that.
I wake up at 6am, get ready and head to lobby for breakfast. I am staying at a hotel btw.
It's a nice hotel with swimming pool, gym BUT no free internet services.
My colleague picks me up at 7am and we get to office about 7.15am due to the LACK of traffic.
Morning meeting starts around 7.40am which lasts for 45 minutes or so, during which they talk about what they did the previous day, what they are going to do, and safety issues.
So after morning meeting you know if your day is going to be HECTIC or slow.
But being the new guy, I get away often coz I don't know anything yet :)
Expect the usual "rougher" language from the warehouse men but they really know the tools of the trade... they have it all up their sleeves.
Besides work, I visited few pubs around here with local and expat colleagues. One thing I can say, you won't be lonely if you have $$$. Most of them are Filipinos. The second you enter the door you can feel their laser/$$$ eyesight on you.
I've personally seen a few walking out of the hotel rooms as well. From what I hear, you can pick them up starting from 6pm (more $$) or 12am. But they all leave at 9am. Most of the guys are "ang mo".
Been eating a lot of fried rice, fried noodles... lucky that there's a Giant bout 8 minutes walk from my hotel.
Alcohol is so cheap here. RM73 for 12 year old Chivas Regal, RM 20 for Shiraz (Australian white wine), and RM60 for Black Label.
And RM1 for a packet of cigarettes.
So I guess life for now is all work and sleep.
Ring me up if you are interested in visiting ;)
Cheers
