Outstation: UTM Skudai and Taman Daya, Johor

A last minute call, on last Friday, my boss informed me to get ready to go to Johor. Quickie packing and hit the road from Tol Sg Besi at 4:00 PM to Jasin to fetch boss' friend. We all should be in UTM by 9 PM. I speed up laaa.. Thank God, the weather was good and we arrived at 8:00 PM.

Check-in into a VIP room. Awesome! The two share same room and I got one room! Woohoo!!

Before 9 PM we commenced the event and finished nearly 12 AM. I was too tired, so I slept. But the two, still talking.

The next morning, I woke up but the two still sleep. I watched TV until 11 AM, only then, they appeared. My boss said, they sleep at 5 AM. They went outside for McDonald's. Err.. whatever laaa..

I got my stuff pack as we have to check out. We next event will be in other place (in Taman Daya) at night. So, we walked around Skudai and had lunch at Plaza Angsana. And in the afternoon, we went to meet a friend (can't remember the place).

At night, went to the event and finished after 11 PM. Had late dinner - roti with curry - yummy! And, I hit the road at 12:30 AM going home. Stop in Jasin to drop friend's place and tea break. After 3:30 PM, back on the road to KL. Arrived home nearly 5:30 AM. Damn crazy sleepy. And I love my bed even more since.

Site visit - Hawa Resort & Training Centre

My main work is a personal assistant and it requires my to take over the driving part as well. I have no problem with driving because I am comfortable on the road - highway, raining, night, traffice jam, long distance and all.

Yesterday, we (my boss and I) went to site visit to find a place to have a family day somewhere in Janda Baik - a resort to fulfill 60 families and 40 single. Shortlisted 2 - Dusun Eco Resort and Hawa Resort as both claim can fit the capacity.

First stop, Dusun Eco Resort. First impression - not suitable for family. It's training oriented - good for outdoor activities.

Second stop, Hawa Resort - perfect! Very clean, calm and nice environment. Highly recommended to my boss and he said yes.

New job trial day

I found a job ad couple of weeks ago. It requires a person who can drive and also to become a personal assistant with reasonable basic salary. Sound catchy and straight forward. So I SMSed the person asking about the availability as I like driving and organizing (well, sorta). We met for a casual interview. Quite clear now.

Last Wednesday, I took a day-off from current work (really soon to be end) to “assist my new employer”. I would say that is as my trial day. At 7:30am, he fetched me and I drove to LCCT to pickup someone. Return to his place and later to his office. Immediately, started with some clerical work, amending power point / presentation slides. Around 4:00 PM, took off to Kuala Pilah. It really took hours to reach there with the traffic jam. At 9:00 PM, he gave a talk to 200+ audiences. Ended around 11:30 PM. And he said, “..that’s about one of the routine, but normally, it doesn’t end up at this late.” There’s a selling section I should setup on that event, but I didn’t because of the facility and timing.

Surprisingly, I enjoyed the whole day.

And he told me, I could start immediately. I informed him, I would only able to start next month.

Well, the pay is just enough for my monthly expenses. The work is very straight forward but requires organizational skill, good memory and quick respond. Plus, provided overtime and commission AND flexible working hours (2 PM to 8 PM) are very tempting as I hope I could spare time with my freelance work. The best part, I could travel to places! Splendid!

Hmm… maybe, I could put my items together to sell. Heh heh heh *wicked evil laugh

And, I need a good organizer diary!
