After waiting for sometime, I finally received confirmation from Sunil (my future boss) that we needed to meet in Singapore on Oct 17.
At the beginning, I planned to visit Singapore only for the meeting, so I’d be gone back on the same day cos Oct 18 we started working again after Eid holiday. But then I felt it would be tiresome. Not to mention that I planned to hand carry the shunts from Transmedic and no flight back to Jakarta on Oct 17.
So, while Sunil was paying for me, better I took 1 day early and spend the night at budget hostel and enjoy my time in Singapore. Found a place at The InnCrowd Hostel. It’s located in Little India. A mosque is near to the location.
It was a very very interesting experience for me, staying at a hostel. I didn't know that at a budget hostel, we shared room with other sex, we shared bathroom with them too. I asked the receptionist if I can change room, as I read all the names on the bunk beds were boys'. Unfortunately, the hostel was having high occupancy rate so I had to stick with my "room".
One thing for sure, I shopped and shopped, LOL. I have promised not to spend money, but I couldn’t help it! I found a nice pair of shoes at Lucky Plaza, made in Italy. Fit my feet, perfect height….. It was my most expensive shoes!
The weather was unpredictable. It was humid and rained. I had to buy umbrella. Susan asked me to find a lady handbag at Charles & Keith.
I was glad when I moved to the hotel where I and Sunil planned to meet. The next day, I checked out from the hostel and moved to our meeting location. I met his boss. We discussed lots of things. I must prepare a business plan for the new office. They will send me an offer letter in a week time, I must reply back as a confirmation. Then they will send appointment letter.
I bought chocolates for colleagues at work. I flew back to Jakarta on Oct 18 morning.
