Finally, the final week.

So, this is the final week of this year schedule to Vietnam. Finally!!! Finally i do not have to work with absent minded engineers, blur faces and somebody who do not understand what i want. Whether i am not clear in asking or they have trouble understanding my request, which i strongly believed is the latter.

What happened today really makes me think it is not my problem at all. We were at a big factory, this factory have few gates and there are few labs located at different gates. At each gate there is security post. After we finished calibrating the machines in the first gate, we went on to the second gate and so happened that it was lunch time. We were not allowed access till the lunch time finished.

So, we were told to wait. As i was not hungry and my back was really aching till the point that i have to walk like a hunchback old man, i decided to wait and asked the engineers to go ahead to lunch. Before that, i requested that I'll wait at the guard post. I talked to the engineer so that he can pass the message to the guard because guards here don't speak or understand English.

He went, talked to the guard and came back to me. He said the guard said cannot wait in the guard house. OK, fair enough, so i will wait outside the guard house. But i had another request, can i borrow a chair as my back was really pain. So he went and talked and came back to me. He said the guard said NO. Well, wtf? NO? OK, i told the engineer to go for lunch, i will stand outside the gate and wait.

After the engineer left and i stood there for few minutes, the guard handed over a chair to me. I don;t understand him but by the gesture, there you go, take the chair and sit outside. Right then, i was thinking, what the hell did the engineer said to the guard and got a NO as an answer?

Apart from this, there are many other cases where the answers you get from these engineers are ridiculous. For example,

1. When i asked them, why do you use the Air Re-freshener to clean the machine?
 They will say, well, it smells good and the customer like it.

2. Can you ask the customer where is the location of the lab?
They will looked at you with blur face and smile and just look around for the lab themselves.

3. You can't knock it that way it will get stuck.
No No No, if no knock cannot come out.
So they went and knock and it got stuck, they will then find other tools to knock it harder, a hammer. And it got stuck harder. Still do not ask for help and keep knocking. I can't just stand there and look, that's what my Malaysian colleague did. So i offered assistance. After i got that thing out, and explained to them why and what went wrong, again, the same blur face and this time a little disagree with my method. Cool huh?

And the list goes on.

I am so glad that this is the final week for Vietnam trip. I don't have to endure the local engineers attitude and behaviour. Also, i do not have to listen to nonsense in the car while travelling. Most of the conversation, lead by my Malaysian colleague, has to be related to some sort sexual activities and vulgar words.

I have never heard so much before and i am going to share it here.

What The F*ck, F*cking idiot, Masturbate, I cum shot Ur face if you don't shut up. Big tit, So Hai, gang bang, penis, blow job, hand job, suck my di*k. Imagine listening to all these words in a conversation, its amazing whats in his fu*king brain. Rite?

So, there are 3 more days and i am free from all these. But one thing i am going to miss here, is the coffee!!! Gonna buy few packets with me this trip.

OK, i am going to continue The Big Bang Theory. I am now at season 5 episode 7. Cheers!
