oh gawd! i'm like so screwed!

as you guys prolly know, i'm a financial adviser with Prudential Assurance Singapore and as its a sales job, we have sales reviews. and the next review, mid year, is coming up. and guess where it'll be held???

HANOI, VIETNAM

how low can they go!!! like nooooo!!!! nowhere third world please!! just do it in singapore please!! and do you know how much we have to pay for the trip there? S$500 (US$370)!! that's like so totally expensive. i hate Hanoi! and do you know why? i've made a list for my convenience..

1. Its a Third World Country (i'm not being offensive, but the infrastructure and standard of living is not to my liking. All of South East Asia, with the exception of East Malaysia, is OUT)

2. Its a Communist country (Hell, we should all just go to PyeongYeang, North Korea! its more cultural!)

3. Its super hot and humid

4. There's no shopping

5. Accomodation is a 3 star hotel. Eww.

6. We're flying Low Cost. TOTALLY EWW!! For international flights, the lowest i'd go is Garuda Indonesia and for regional flights, lowest i'd go is SilkAir.

7. They do not have any yummy food.

8. Its infested with disease.

9. Its dirty.

10. its just too Low Class for me.

hahaha! goodness i sound so arrogant there! but anyway yeah! will you pay S$500 for a three day two nights thing in a communist Third World city with lousy lodging? AND NO ROOM SERVICE?? gawd! at least have laundry service!

you know what i'm thinking of doing? hit the sales targets, get to go there for free and report sick, so that i wont have to go to that stinking shithole. Fuck this bullshit.

I should have worked for a Bank.
