Day 8 – Got the Car!

Yeah man… today is the first day we go the car.  So much more convenient!  I am even writing this blog in the comfort of an air-con Toyota Corolla.  Anyway, its only costing 40 SGD (with driver – petrol)….. but the convenience.  And…:P  this is one of the strange places where the petrol costs more than the driver…

1st stop was for the signing of the company memorandum with Tahi.  Looking at the amount of forms to sign, boy were we glad that we outsourced the entire project.  On top of it, Tahi was really nice, and volunteered to help us find day laborers for the painting of the office.  Apparently, such daily labourers are in abundance in Lahore and u can get a man for 500-600 Rupee per day.

1st stop was to Gloria Jeans.  Wanted to log into my GF’s email to find the company which was willing to find employees for us at a costs of only 50% employees wages.  However, after struggling for 15 minutes without success, decided to outsource this to my capable girl, Hwee Shan.

While going through the mails… realised that we have a big contract going for Chevrons.  Boy.. must go and get it man.  Hee hee….

Man.. this driver really pampers us.  Open door for us, help us carry our lap tops, throw away coffee, even volunteered to dispose my finger nail clippings (But this part is too much for me already… a bit disgusting….)  Anyway, he only earns 4k Rupee at the hotel, which is about 80 SGD monthly.  Will give him a good tip at the end of the day. 

Anyway, now going to look for the furniture for the office…. :P
