So, this is the mini plane operated by Bejaya that takes you to Redang, if you are considering a flight rather than road trip. It’s recently up-sized to a larger plane, it was originally smaller.

This is a view from the hotel room. Personally, trees are great by me, I am not too much a beach person. If you are a beach person though, you’d probably rather not have the trees blocking your view eh.

I don’t seem to be able to get away from Mike’s clutches.. at all. I was once his secretary (I was also the girlfriend then) and I can’t tell you how sympathetic I felt towards my former-boss, or not?

You see, I was professionally trained in secretarial duties, however, I have to say that I make a better administrator (note: administrator is different from administrative assistant, nothing against the latter, just wanting to clarify) than a secretary. I am super duper opinionated, and if you have worked for local firms run by local bosses who know peanuts (be thankful they even know peanuts) of business management, you know what I am going to say here. It’s utterly frustrating when you tried to work efficiently, and the know-nothing boss ushered you around to perform tasks that hindered job efficiency.

As with my other former bosses, Mike suffered similar fate. He has this problem in asking questions more precisely. Have you heard your superior asked, ‘can you hand me the contract’. I am not sure, but maybe, just maybe, there is this narcissism exists in most bosses, who conveniently assumed that the secretary loves him so much that she tracks every single movement of his?

Oh well, giving them the benefit of doubts, they are probably too busy, hence the forgetfulness. The thing is, they usually assumed that we can read their minds, or understand so well as though we are the worms in their stomachs, that they didn’t need to verbalize their need, and we would just get it.

Anyhow, I am a boss-scolder. Right, I don’t have the most gracious temper I wished I had.

In case you wonder, I am at home, blogging away on Mike’s short trip..haha.. It’s not an obligation, and I guess Mike loves to keep my posted with his activities, so that I can in a way share the joy too. (I have no idea why I went blah blah blah on the secretary topic though, I guess I was so interrupted in many ways today while I was trying to finish some stuffs, and it kind of gets to me for a bit)
