First Week of Work

Ferry to Batam

Fried Fish! Karaoke


Quick summary of my past week because it went by so quickly, and I had no Internet access in Batam (an island of Indonesia).



On Monday, didn't go into the office. I just went straight to Harbourfront in Singapore to get on a ferry to Indonesia (going through customs, etc.) to Waterfront City. I fell asleep so everything was good; I was so worried that I would get seasick.

FM and I went to the famous seafood restaurant there: Golden Prawn. Of course, FM ordered more than he could handle -__- blah blah silly. Hmm?? Oh yeah, we saw a RAT CRAWL UP THE WOOD POLES. We were on a platform that juts out into the sea (which is kind of neat, I guess). This, of course, was just before we received our food. Lovely. The food was not too bad, but I mean, it is the first TIME I"VE EVER SEEN A RAT. According to Singapore food service cleanliness ratings, this place would have definitely been a D. I am so glad I brought along diarrhea medicine, even though I didn't need it. FM and I would like to thank my dad for insisting for me to buy this medicine to bring along. THANK YOU DADDY!!!!



On Tuesday and Wednesday, I had a bunch of meetings to talk to some managers of some shipyards in Batam. One night we went to karaoke and the other night we just ate. The food was quite amazing. Hm...a few pictures I suppose are in order (because finally my computer is capable of downloading pictures from my camera).



So then Thursday everyone else left, leaving FM and me to swim swim around in the pool and find a secret lap pool that the general public didn't know about. We got back around 7 PM in Singapore and went through customs.



Today I woke up and went to the office. I had a meeting with a language school administrator (which was pretty cool), and I also set up my e-mail address, etc. Blabbles. I was so tired earlier, but I'm going to watch a bit more of Goong Princess Hours on veoh.com (GPH).



Ttfn!
