Wake up at 4.30am, get ready and wait for Boon come and pick me up and reach boss’s hse at 6.am. I was so sleepy…. sleepy for 1 hr inside the car and reach JB at 10am. My boss take us to a famous bak kut teh restaurant in JB (it’s really not nice at all n the tasteless. Tis is d 1st time I ate tis kind of clear soup ‘bak kut teh’ not my fav.

Last night tossing n turning, wake up so many times at middle of the night, finally decided to wake up at 7.30am to get ready. Went down stair to have bfast in hotel café n the foods was ‘lousy’ alredi expect. at 10.30am n my leg is so painful, numb and swollen. Ppls in Jb, is kinda of weird cant really get along with them n like one of our dealer the staff is unfriendly at all n all the customer are so hard to accept d new high-tech products. All speak mandarin, luckily my mandarin is quite good. But when I said ‘cha tou’ (adaptor in mandarin) the lady over heard ‘sat tou’ (chop of the head in mandarin) auntie must have some listening prob. So hard to communicate!! JB really not safe all have to be extremely careful when u r there must sure u don’t hang out alone. Some customers pretend to listen n show interest to what I said but at the end ask for my contact number. (wasting my time!!) My whole body, start aching, me n Boon was calculate the time to go home. We’r really really tired. One of our dealer insist to take us to dinner/supper to eat porridge n according to them is very famous in JB. Well this time luckily didn’t disappoint me, the foods there was so yummy!! Eat till very super duper full!! Slept at 1am, but luckily I manage to sleep through the whole night.
