3 Weeks In

We have now completed our frst week of 4am starts and I have not adjusted as well I thought. I am completely knackered!!!! I haven't been able to get to sleep early enough so my nights have been quite short and I am really feeling it. I had a minor melt down on Thursday morning as the laundry had wrecked some of my clothes so I was REALLY grumpy first thing.It was also 'Thursday' and I hadn't slept much. I got over it though and now invested in some washing powder and have decided to hand wash everything in my room. The first load is now hanging over the bath, dripping happily.

We had a great day yesterday!!! For starters it was Friday (Yay) and then after work we had 'Team Building' 'Filipino' style and that meant................karaoke!!! Yes, my first ever karaoke!!! To start with we caught an 'FX' to the mall (OMG ANOTHER mall). An FX is a Toyota vehicle kitted out as a mini bus that acts a bus. It goes on a set route and doesn't stop to pick people up, it just goes from a to b. It is amazing how many people you can get in one!!!! LOL. Trinoma is yet another fabulous mall. Tom had booked us a room in a karaoke bar. It is soooo weird!!! You go into a booth (see photos) and there is a flat screen and microphones. You have staff coming around taking orders for drinks and food and you sit in there for four hours and eat and sing. It was HILARIOUS!!!!! We had such fun.

After the karaoke we were pretty tired so some of the guys escorted us on the infamous 'MRT' light rail. We had to keep our bags in front of us, tucked close to our bodies so we didn't get pickpocketed. The train was air conditioned (I love air con!!!!!) and we survived the experience unscathed (it was a lot like the undergound in London).

It was a great night but I was completely shattered by the end and when I looked in the mirror back in my room I looked TERRIBLE!!!!! 12 hours sleep followed and I am feeling little better today.
