The hectic day

"Row, row, row your boat." [The captain singing.]





The captain took out his compass and looked at it. Then he read his watch.





"It's almost there."





He glanced out to the open sea with his telescope and he saw the KL harbour nearby full of busy fishermen going to their destination. He dropped off at the harbour with his luggage and walk towards the land. As he passed by the pier, many tourists, vendors, and all sort of men around the harbour busy with their own intention. Some were scammers, some were loitering and some were just smoking at that place. While some were busy transiting to their own destination. But for the captain, he knew the place to wait for his pickup.



He stopped at that place, put down his luggage and look at his watch. 12.15pm. Nice time to catch up.



Not long, his pickup arrived and he hurriedly enter the vehicle.



"So how's the day?" The carrier asked.



"Not too bad, not too good. Just busy."



1st Day:

He arrived at the very place, OYL. He stood there, admiring the view of the same old factory but with a little bit of touchup over the time. New paints, and new headline at the gate. He walked in and he looked at one of the guard at the gate house.



"Ahoy matey, I need to go into the R&D department to continue my experiment there."



"Oh, okay, you need a pass, give me your IC and keep this with you."



The guard handed him a pass named "Visitor".



He put it on and walked to the door. A big notice was placed in the front "Insert card".



"Darn, no card"

Captain was puzzled why the guard gave him an ordinary card with visitor instead of an entry card or electronic pass card which the modern people called it.



Coincidently, a blue collar worker was going in. He smiled and he followed the worker inside. He saw his boss there. He greeted him and then soon the boss started to brief him on his work. Before that, the captain managed to see some of his old colleague. He wave and shake and hug to all of them. A warm welcome from everyone.
