My frustration seems to calm down. After a 1.5 day course, I felt more refresh and calmed. What's good about today is It Is A Slack Day. My team got an outing to a small island. A nice colleague picked me and another colleague up at a nearby train station and head to the jetty. The day is hot and humid, a typical day in my country.
The journey on the ferry is about 10-15min and ta-da here we are on the small and layback island. Our destination is a wetland on the eastern side of the island. Some of us took the comfortable way to reach the destination: renting a mini bus. The rest took the harder way: renting a bicycle which I did.
The cycling route to the wetland is not an easy one. Up and down we went. With the condition of rented bicycle, the route is harder for me. The gears do not seems to be working properly. I was so tired when we finally reached the destination after 20-30min.
The wetland is small with lots of inhabitants and trees. We spent some time there discovering the nature and taking photos. The wetland branched into the open sea and the view is nice. Many of us took photos while admiring the nature.
Its another 20-30min ride back to the jetty. There are restaurant where we had our lunch. The food is not bad and the portion is quite reasonable. We had a quick lung before we head back to the mainland jetty and to our boss' house.
I never imagine my boss to stay in a 3 storey private property. The surrounding enviroent is nice and quiet but yet it's near to a bus stop. He showed us around in his house, after which he brought us to the dining area where he had prepared snacks for us. There is even chocolate fondue to go with fruits.
We spent some time exploring his house, talking and eating before we left his house. Our user invited us ti a ceremony to witness the change in their company so some of us went home to wash up and attend the ceremony.
I thought I would be able to drive to the venue but my parents need to drive my nephew home. Why can't my sis-in-law take a cab to fetch my nephew home? Oh well so I asked my dad to drive me to the venue. But in a hurry, I forgot to bring keys. So I ended up waiting for my parents to come home.
The ceremony was quite simple but yet formal. They must have worked hard in preparing for this ceremony. After the ceremony, there were dinner (buffet and on-the-spot cooking). However, the lunch and snack at my boss' house has yet disgusted. So it is only filling up my eyes and not my stomach.
When I reached home, I called my mum to ask them when are they coming bak because I forgot to bring key. She told me she want to watch finish a drama before coming back and want me to wait for 30min. If this 30mins is because of traveling time, I am okay. But it is because she want to watch finish a drama!!! What's more, the drama can be replayed from the Internet. The time I lost cannot e replayed!!! This is something that I cannot accept and understand. But what can I do? I can only wait for them to come home. Who ask me to forgot to bring keys.
