No More Cruise Vacation...
We just got the news that J's company trip has been changed to Batam instead of a cruise trip to Langkawi and Phuket as was previously decided.Incidently someone (who is not even going herself) went and told J's boss about the possibility of Tsunami near Phuket! That little nosy comment of hers scared the hell out of J's boss and he decided to go elsewhere instead of a cruise. Sigh (angrily)!
What kind of nonsense is this?
The worst is yet to be over. The latest change to Batam was not well received by the staff. To date only seven people (out of almost 50+) registered for it. As a norm, all staff are required to deduct their annual leave for the company trip as the company will be closed. Staffs who are not going will also have their leave deducted.
We personally don't mind to have J's leave deducted as we can plan a vacation for ourselves. The problem we have now is whether the company will be open or not during the Batam trip since majority of the staff will not be going. Most of them are lobbying for the company to remain open during the Batam trip.
I've already have a backup plan for this, that is to take J and Little Skywalker to Genting (for the 2nd time this year, the last was in April). I have checked online for room availability for Theme Park Hotel and it is running out soon. I am in a total dilemma as to whether to place a booking or not.
I really hope that J's boss can make a swift and responsible decision on this very soon. Or else we will be sitting home with no where to go if the company is close.
Bad enough that our cruise vacation dream is gone, now this pulak!
Long sigh...
