Moving To Langkawi

I started this blog for the benefit of those who are keen to know what this old boring, botak dude was up to in The Jewel of Kedah... Langkawi. I still maintain the other blog where I vent and say bad things about people. That will only be accessible via invitation or if you are well versed with the net, you will eventually find it... depends which kepala you uselah... kepala lutut confirm cannot... and THAT other kepala of course should ONLY be exclusively for sextisfaction.... so it leaves just one kepala to use.

Anyway... I will begin my journey to a new chapter on 31st March 2010. The plan is to drive to Kuala Kedah, put up a night there and then send the car via cargo vessel while I catch the ferry. So, I begin my new chapter on April Fool's day. Accommodation has been arranged. I have a one-bedroom apartment waiting for me and I will be staying there for two months and when the resort has water and exlectricity, I will move into the resort and stay there for approximately 6 months... after which I will get a better apartment. The car can only be picked up the following day so I will hire a car for a day.

So far, things have been  good with the new bosses. I don't feel stressed out. My arsehole... oops, I mean opinion (an opinion is like an arsehole, everyone has one and some really stink) carries a lot of weight.  People say I am full of shit so maybe that explains why my opinion carries weight... the Malays say, berat tahi. The three Sales person here who have been actively selling the resort for the past one year are quite happy to have me on board as I have won battles with the boss which they had lost.  I don't get questioned at all on what I do or how I do it... which took a bit of getting used to at first compared to the restraints that were imposed at the previous place.

I can tell that this company is quite tight with their cash flow but I'm not too worried about it... YET. I am confident that if I build a good product then there will be nothing to be worried about. But I am going to need help... help from KL as the work culture in Langkawi is so poor. So... any takers from KL? Buzz me yeah?

I have sourced accommodation for the staff last Monday when I was there. I will seal the deal when I get there next month. I will take two apartment units for the staff, Male and Female. The apartments have 3 bedrooms so I think I can fit 6 persons in there at the minimum. The apartment block has a pool, gym and also for those who like to 'strangle the cat' there's karaoke facility too. 

There's so much to be done. Sometimes I just end up in a daze... I need some help and it will come soon hopefully. Ads have been done online and I have over 80 applicants so far for 5 positions... alas... 90% are wannabes with no experience or close to their 'expiry date'.

I will be traveling back to KL every fortnight for now. I have booked my flights for the 12th and 26th night... I will arrive in KL at approximately 10pm. The plan is to spend the night in a hotel close to the office so it will be convenient for me to get to office. Then in the night, fly back to Langkawi. the frequency of my travels might change... it depends how things pan out.

The next few days are going to be a real blur as I still haven't started packing. I need to send the car for servicing and a change of timing belt, discontinue my Streamyx, take my mom for All Souls Day prayers, move stuff from the old apartment... so little time bit so much to do. 

Ok... till the next update... Botak out...
