In my previous blog, I promised to write something about the trip.
Here is the update on the trip lo...
That was a super duper lousy trip that I'd been....
Why I said so? Don't worry... Read slowly below, because it is so long.. hehehe...
7 Sept 07 (Friday)
My air ticket was at 9.30am. So, I was took a usual taxi uncle to fetch me to the airport. Be informed that we have to be arrived at AirAsia Airport - LCCT 2 hours before depart, which means we have to be arrive at 7.30am oh..
Well, I reached LCCT around 8am. During the time, I didn't see the HR there yet. Fine! It's already expected. & I'm not looking for him as well... I promise waited for my senior - Rafida at McDonald at 8:30am. Once she reached, we walked around & saw one of my department colleague - Suresh. Had a chit chat, then only saw the Stupid HR reached. That time already 9am.
Then, walked to him & wanted to asked him whether can check-in already or not. Who knows, when walked close to him, he is asking do I have Dewi or Huey Chin's contact number. I'm asking why he need their number so sudden. Guess his answer! He said have to inform them ask them to bring their kid's birth certificate along. So, I teased him, why now only informed? He said he just KNEW about it!
DAMN!! How can you just knew only? Really a stupid HR & bad arrangement...
Fine! Don't care about it anymore! Walked to the counter for check-in. After check-in, everyone was gathered at the entrance & chit-chat, but not move in the immigration gate. After wait for a while, Rafida & I decided move ourselves in order to wait for them.
This time, AirAsia is much punctual than last time or may be this is the first flight...
2 and the half hours arrived Kota Kinabalu airport. HR told us that, hotel will arranged 2 busses to pick us up to the Hotel - Nexus Karambunai. So, when we walked out from the airport, noticed that someone is taking a card with company name. After gathered all the company members, the bus guide bring us to the busses. Step on the bus, got a seat & the bus moved. Then only called for the attendance.
Felt funny? Yeah... That's what I felt. How can you count the attendance after the 2 busses moved? What is the difference if someone left at the airport? Keep quiet.. coz lasy to argue with the stupid HR.. But really not satisfied at the first place.
When bus start move, the co-driver was complaining that they had been waiting us for half an hours & bla bla bla....
@#$%^&*() How can you complain your customers in that kind of way? Really bad image on the hotel.
Again... the co-driver said again!
"As you all can see all the pack lunch are ready in the bus, but you are not allow to have your lunch in the bus. You all will have the lunch once you reach hotel. From here to hotel will take about 1 hours if traffic jam."
What?! Now already 12.45pm! We are damn hungry now! What is the point for you to pack the lunch for us, but not allow us to eat?! @#$%^&*&(
Finally, we reached the hotel in 40 minutes. We put our luggages at the hotel concourse & had our lunch at one of the cafe at the hotel. We all are allow to had ONE small cocktail drink without refill! "GOOD!" Then, open up our so called pack-lunch... Another complain from us...
The pack-lunch is a typical malay mixed rice: one boiled egg, one peice of don't know what chicken, one vege & rice. All were cold & the rice is getting harded already. Simply settled the lunch, we been informed have to take the room key ourselves. Therefore, my roomate - Rowena & me go to the counter to get the key.
When reached the counter, it is messed & all have to queue up by difference row according your name in which row. After squeeze in the row & checked the name, I was totally wet by sweat! When reached my turn, the hotel PIC of the row said we need to swap the credit card for guarantee!
#$%^&*() What?! Still need guarantee! Fine! I swap with company card! Thought I can got the room key & back to hotel rest a while. Who knows, the hotel PIC said: Sorry. Your room key is not ready yet.
What? Then how long I have to wait for? Erm... About 45 minutes....
Ok! I will be back later.
Then, me, Rowena & another couples who also don't have room key walked to the beach. We took some pictures, chit chat & look around at the beach... After one hour, we back to the counter to check on the room key. The stupid hotel PIC said the room still not ready yet! We saw second batch of the flight gang already reached hotel & they already got the room key. It make us even angried! Then, the stupid HR was standing there with doing nothing! So, we started make noise!
Just now I'd asked how long I'd to wait, you said 45 minutes, now it's already one hour & you still repeat the same answer! Second batch people also got the room key, why we still not yet? How can you arrange your customers in that way? Can't you make your arrangement flexible? For those not yet arrive, can't you just swap it with those come earlier?! bla bla bla.... Until the hotel manager reached & asked them to swap the room for us.
Enter into the room, we on everything, especially the fan & air-con... After few minutes, the room still hot & sultry. Therefore, we called to the maintenance & service department for servicing the air-con. After waiting for half an hour, no one is coming for the repair service. We recall to the department again & complaining. But, still no one coming...
Then, those clean up staff passed-by & we asking them whether they know how to service it. Well, at last the person also helped us call to the counter again & he said we can go out have a walk first.
So, we decided go to the beach have a walk in order to wait in the room. Once changed & applied sun block, we moved to the beach lo....
The beach is very nice... There got a small lagoon at the beach & that time is not so hot...
So, we walked slowly & enjoying the view. Then, we saw few beach inspectors at the beach & chit-chat with them too... Met few of the colleagues, also had some funny news from them... Got 2 guy colleagues having a king size beg which they were make noise for changing the room. & another colleague with the wife while having 2 single bed in the room. Haiyo!! Really good arrangement of the hotel too... Then, another colleague told us, she been locked in the room for about 2 hours due to the lock been spoilt. She been rescued by someone from the hotel staff climbed into the room from a small hole & spoilt the whole door lock.
After chit chat with some colleagues, we back to the hotel & bath. Because we had a dinner date at 6pm. Around 6pm, we walked to the hotel concourse to wait for the rest (5 of us with the driver) :) Then, the driver - Marcellus (one of the colleague who worked at KK) brought us to had a delicious seafood... The seafood is really delicious & cheap. But, we save for that money also, because Marcellus be the master of the day to treat us a free meal.
After the dinner, we back to the hotel... & met some other colleagues. They informed us that they had a tasteless dinner, the seafood was not fresh & not nice at all... Wow... Luckily we decided to eat outside. Due to still early, so decided to go somewhere to have a drink or whatever... who knows.. All not decidable, especially guys! At last, 4 of us decided to move ourselves to the Darling Darling bar, not to wait for the rest. We ordered beers & 12am, we back to the room & sleep. First boring day end...
During mid-night, the air-con was on & off for the whole night! #$%^&*(
8 Sept 07 (Saturday)
Woke up at 7am... Clean up ourselves & go to had our breakfast. The breakfast just so so only. We had it slowly just because we wanted to escape the telematch game. Telematch is just like a team game, such as few people of the group wear a big slipper & move together, playing anchor rope at the seaside, etc...
Well... 4 of us skipped that & we borrow a colleague's car to town - Shangri-La hotel @ Tanjung Aru for a site visit. We had been lost & we had took more than an hour to reach the town. Hahaha... But, it fun for us la... While reached the hotel, the hotel sales PIC brought us around to the beach & visit the room. The beach is very nice & it is much better than the one we stay. The hotel room also nicer. After the visit, the hotel sales PIC treat us a free lunch. Due to short of time, so we had a quick lunch at one of the Shanghai restaraunt. All the food ordered by the sales PIC, because we do not know what is nice. Who knows, she had ordered so many food until we unable to finish it with stopped them at the half way. The food is nice too.. But we really unable to finish up... It really wasted lo...
After the quick lunch, we moved back to the hotel, because need to return the car back to the colleague. Then, we back to the room rest a while & went to the beach have a walk... So unlucky... It's raining... So, we moved to one of the cafe which near the beach. 3 of us (me, Lai Li & Rowena) chit chat at the cafe. Before we enter the cafe, we saw my boss & another 2 colleagues was there too... But they didn't saw us... We choose a hidden seat at the cafe & chit chat. Then, Rowena started to "kacau'ing" my boss. She sms him & asking their room number & said our bill will charge to their room... Hahaa.... It's funny, but it really like bullying them.
After few hours having tea & chit chat among 3 of us, the rain also getting smaller. We decided back to the room & rest, because we having a annual dinner at 7.30pm as planned.
When back to the hotel, we took turn to take bath & ready for ourselves. After that, we been informed the dinner postpone to 8pm. About 7.45pm, a colleague called to walk to the ballroom together. The dinner was not nice & the event was boring... There had a lucky draw & I'm so lucky as well... But, the gift is not taken on the stage. For those name been calling, have to go outside the ballroom & take it. & I'm the first batch who got the gift. The arrangement was messy & not organized. When I check-up for the gift, it only a afternoon tea at one of the hotel near Ampang... Hahaa.. At last, I lost the coupon when the time back to hotel. After the dinner still early & we went to Darling Darling bar again. Drink for a while & we back to hotel sleep...
Another boring day ended~
9 Sept 07 (Sunday)
We woke up around 7.30am. Move slowly & went to took a breakfast. That day, me & Rowena had a slow breakfast & we had a deep & relax chat. After breakfast, we back to the room & change & then move to beach again... We walked on the beach, walked to the lagoon & met Rafida, Dewi & her daughter. Then, we played at the seaside.. Due to I phobia on water, so they hold my hand to play around with the wave. We also walked to the lagoon & catch the fish at the lagoon... After catching fish, we walked on the seaside again to another end. We walked to the less people side & played on the beach with "jump aeroplane"...
Hahahaa.... That was the happy & "syok sendiri" day... At least, we still able to enjoy ourselves at last day la... After played on the beach for few hours, I had sun-burnt. Hahaha...
Got back to the room & bath, we packed our stuffs & check-out before had our lunch. Because our bus will be arrived at 2pm. Had a quick lunch, we move to the hotel concourse. The bus were waiting for us. I went to the washroom with Lai Li. The rest holding the bus for us. The first bus left without head count, also for the second bus. I took the second bus with my gang... Without head count & waiting, the bus moved & I noticed my boss not come up the bus yet. Therefore, double confirmed with the rest & HR called to my boss, only confirmed that he still at the counter & the bus have to turn back to the hotel.
Ai..... How can this thing happen with a such big company arrangement? Really don't understand... Therefore, we complain again... Like we are so choosy & always like complain people... Hahaha... Well... I think not only us complain, but quite a lot people complaining too...
That's my lousy company trip...
