There are so many things to update. Let me start from last week- the long weekend…
Last minute plan to Malacca… I was afraid that there were no available rooms and i did a quick call to Bayview Melaka and Equatorial Hotel. Bayview told me there had sufficient rooms and need not do any reservations. I took their words. As for Equatorial, they only left with the suites. Superior and deluxe rooms were all out.
I waited for dad to come back and set off with Mummy and colin. Dad was the assigned instructor for the trip as he would be the one driving and who knows Malaysia more than him. He worked there for almost 4 years before and that super long highway was kinda like the regular road he gotta drive thru those days.
Reached the 2nd link at 5 plus in the evening… expected jam!!! Well, dad got his way to cut thru the long waiting lines and we were only stucked for 1 hour at most. And after the ride, we reached Malacca Bayview where we wanna check-in. I approached the counter and ask for rooms. Guess what they told me THEY ARE FULLY BOOKED.
What an ass!!!!
I was told in the morning they have plenty of rooms and now what are we going to do… sleep on the streets? I was so pissed that i was making a big fuss at the counter. That stupid reception jus replied me one sentence ” Sorry, we are fully booked.” I swear i really feel like killing him. Colin asked him to check for other hotels and without checking, he said other hotels were fully booked too.
CRAP!!!!!
And after some “reasonings”, the fully booked hotel managed to get a room for me. Thanks god!!! I requested for an extra bed coz i initially wanted 2 rooms but now 4 people gotta squeeze one room. We requested for corporate rates and he was nice enough to give it to us and 3 breakfast vouchers.
3 vouchers only!!! But we have in total 4 people!!!! Is he blind? We wanted to get one more complimentary breafast and the hotel was so rigid.
No means no…. Is that the kind of service recovery? YUCKS.
I wanted to see the duty manager and guess what he was very busy doing his rounds and would call me when he was free. FINE… I waited… So the duty Manager, Mr Nathan called. Mind you i’m being charged the long distance call talking to a moron that dun get things thru his mind. I explained the whole scenario to him and he said he can’t offer me. And he doubt on my integrity. He said i cant provide the name of the person that i spoke to and i might call the wrong hotel, thinking i came up with such story to get that stupid breakfast. I even show him the record that i called in the morning in my phone.
HELLO… I CAN AFFORD THE $$$ TO PAY FOR THE BREAKFAST, JUS THAT I DUN FEEL WORTH IT PAYING FOR SUCH SERVICE and the total experience was lousy. YOU THINK I’M SO CHEAPSKATE TO COME UP WITH SUCH STORY????
The total conversation last for 20 mins. FREAK…. i need to pay for that, okie…. I wrote the comment card attached with an A4 paper story. Wonder if it as being given to the management in charge… i did a follow up email and till now… no reply and explanation from bayview. By hook or by crook, i deserve an explanation and refund of my phone bills. I’m not letting such issue rest.
Com’ on… those rewards displayed at the lobby should mean something right? 4 star hotel…. dunno best in what what what… should maintain their standards. Please!!!! Brush up your service!!!!
Leave that aside, i’m in the midst of exam.

Last one to go for tmr and that marks the end of my exam. Mmm… Please allow me to clear this sem and i will work harder. It’s always the same thing i said since primary 1. I’m trying…. hahaha…. trying hard!!!
YIPPY!!!!
Miss those days that the whole gang of us have fun together…
And i headed down to St James last friday. I should have been a good girl studying at home but…. Grinz! Reached there almost 12am…
Jinni was there
Darryl was there
and agnes’s colleagues were there…. we joined them…
Overall grading…. not too bad… quite fun!!!
My mind is floating away. OMG… everyone is finishing or rather has already finished their exam except me and those uniSIM-ers who are still struggling with revision.
I’m not exactly struggling for revision. I jus couldnt be bothered… Not into studying mood. I know it’s really a serious problem but of course, out of no choices, i still have to flip my books to ensure that i still able to answer some questions in the exam.
I’m jus aiming for a pass for all papers. Who cares about all distinction or all the A and B? Utimately, it’s the paper that give u the cert that counts the most. Does your HR even request for your transcript upon applying for jobs?
No, right?
I’m not taking any Honours or Scholarship. I jus wan my Bsc Business. That’s it!
Anyway, I’m getting more used to my current workplace especially my Manager. She can be really entertaining at times. She is always full of expressions…
Through my experience, HR usually is very scare of the aduitors to ask this and that, digging out the past one year records. And guess what, this cute manager of mine has made the auditor very scare of her by her own funny way. U gotta see it with your own eyes… Then you will know how funny she is.
Ok… Time to work…
I can’t imagine myself spending my weekend doing so many things instead of studying. My 1st paper is on 13 May…. barely 10 days away and my revision only like 5 percent?
Gosh!!!
Movie craze: I must be crazy to go and watch Iron Man… Nim’s Island… Harold and Kumar in this week.
Clubbing Craze: Went to club @ st james on Saturday Night with Agnes and Jinni. My brother happened to be there with his friends as well. Seriously, it’s not as fun. I think i’m missing my party kakis like NICK and Darryl. NICK…. PLease come back from Jakarta!!!!
And of course, accompany colin to get his car grooming done. U experience how hot the weather is these days. I was almost melting away under the hot sun esp the place for car grooming has no air con cafe except a couple of coffee shops. The invention of air con was really appreciated at the very moment. I even tot that it was the best n greatest invention on earth that it can ever have.
Mm… i’m getting a little sleepy. Time to sleep and re-charge myself for the next day to get my engine working.
Tata~
A new chapter begins…
Well, I guess i’m still trying to get used to the new environment. I miss the old working place and the people. Dun like the fact that i have to go around saying ” Hi, I’m Rachel. Nice meeting you…”
Going from the corporate office to the Hotel… it can be really tiring.
Shall see how things go about~~~
I rule my world!
