QA: What A Day....

Today, I guess is the most eventful day in D0ha for. It all started at lunch time when few of us decided to have lunch at one Italian restaurant just opened near to our client building. Since the restaurant is just nearby, about 150m away, one of us uttered a suggestion.. "Let's walk!" And everybody sort of no objection.. including me.


Well, what a wrong decision! It was sooooo hot and the short stretch of road have no pedestrian walkway. Ahh... how can I totally forgot that this country has no mercy on pedestrian! Since we already half way there, we just continued walking.


Reached the restaurant, was greeted by Svdanese/Ethi0pian/Eritre4 waitress (I forgot to ask), we chose the biggest table for five of us. Opened the menu, OMG... hotel price....hmm.. better worth it.. as one of my collegue said.. "hotel price minus the alcohol...." :-)

Just we were about to finish our lunch, we got a call from our office (at the client site).. The message was simple but enough to make us rushed back... "Fire alarm, need to evacuate..." aarrghh.... there we went... running from the restaurant to the client building wearing an office attire under the hot and dry weather!


Packed my stuff, and drove back home. On the way, I saw this accident. Poor woman! She was stucked in the driver seat.




Reached the apartment area and the parking was full. The workers at the nearby site hijacked our parking spaces. *&#^$& &@^#!!!!!


Then I witnessed this... No safety device/strap attached to that worker!


(btw,the brown building at the back is QR (female) cabin crew apartment)....


I shouted "It is dangerous!" to the workers nearby, and they just gave me a smile! Yeah.. you just love to see something happen to your collegue.....


Got at the apartment, opened the door... urgghhhh.. what a stinking smell.... apparently, the cleaners did not mop the floor properly and left some residue.. It was sticky... and for the smell, I didn't know where it came from..


Called the guard and summoned the cleaners. Reminded the guard to ensure the cleaners clean properly next time and gave a mop, a pail and a bottle of Dett0l to the cleaners. Asked them to mop the floor again.


I went to have a cold shower. Yes.. very nice and chilling 30 seconds shower before it turned into hot boiling temperature! Forgot that this is summer in desert and the water tanks are on the roof!


To make my day, I went to Zar4 sales and spent RM600 on a suit.... that's it.. a happy ending... just like in the movie....
