JB Log 5

It's our fifth week here in JB. We have descended from a high - big apartment, covering events, meeting people - to a very low, low. We now live & work in a room that is infested with dustmites. We thought we killed them all last week, but they live to fight another day. Joseph's going to bring his lampberger next week & we're so going to nuke this place!! ITCHY!!

Nowhere else to hang our clothes... so the room smells like wet laundry.

We finally got the table we needed to work like normal people, but it somehow slipped people's minds that chairs and tables normally come in pairs. And guess what? I still don't have a bed!!

The weather isn't helping too. It's been raining for the entire week here in JB. And when it rains in JB, it rains the whole day. & because we live by the sea (I think), the rain smells like a dirty toilet!! The only good side about it is that we don't have to go out for videoshoots. I miss covering events - hanging out with the press, free pass to events, meeting new people. But it seems that March is a dry season for events. We figure it's due to CNY & General Elections...

Wishlist for next week:

1. Get my bed!!

2. Events to cover.

3. NUKE to KILL all dustmites.

4. New teammate on crew!! Girl!!

5. No rain!!

Yesterday our boss finally took time to see the room he put us in for himself. We sounded our troubles to him - well, we basically really really REALLY really wanted to move back to our previous apartment. But I suppose a clean room, an extra bed with clean sheets & good pillows, powerful aircon, & proper work furniture will have to do for the next 3 months - till we get our proper office & apartment.

So we spent last night & this morning cleaning our room with our boss' powerful vacuum cleaner.

& we found out what caused us to itch for the past 2 days - dustmites. It was really disgusting!!

Now our room looks like this.

Drying the bed sheet using 3 chairs. & here's a look on our working condition.

Yes, it is messed up. Our backs are aching really badly right now. We didn't get our tables, nor did we get our extra bed, in spite of the best efforts of the HR girl. So overall, it's been a shitty day. Our shit is emotional & all, but we still put in our best efforts in producing videos. Hopefully the boss & our sponsors will see our desire to do our best for them, & respond by giving us the best living & working environment possible.

Warning!! Horrific pictures ahead!!

You remember the new place we were given to live & work in? Well, I took some pictures, from the 4 corners of the room. These pictures have in no way been editted or manipulated. It's raw!! Are you ready?





Yup that's it... We still managed to produce 1 video on Friday, but boy it wasn't pleasant.
