Last friday (22 may 2009), my first time driving up to Genting. well, not the whole trip lah, i drove to Gotong Jaya and the rest my dad took over. Its not like i dont have skills or what, i am perfectly in control okay.
That time was at night when we drove up to Genting. The cool thing was i drove that car =) its my dads Unser, inside there was my bro,2 younger bro,mom, her sister, and my dad. U know how much pressure is on me when i am driving that car??? i kept thinking that what if i turn too much, will the car roll over, or what if suddenly my hands slipt and the stearing went out of control? then we will make headlines in the news next day. LoL
Well, so there i was, driving that bloody big unser. With loads of more than 200kg inside. The whole time i've been hearing sounds like 'hey watch out, there's a car coming' or 'pull the gear longer.. dont switch so fast' or even 'dont eat others lane when u dont have the skill'... wtf, i seriously cant take it man. its not like once or twice. every 1 minute u can hear that. Duhh.. i can see the cars coming okay.
*Btw, u know why we should pull the gear longer(manual cars only). Because if u switch the gear too early, your car will not have sufficient power to go up high slopes. and u know lah, genting slope damn steep. so its best to stay that gear, and when u hear the engine sound is getting sharper and sharper, let go some of that oil to make it 'calm' a lil. cool aeh?? i learnt that skill when i was driving up to Genting.*
Okay.... so we reach half way, stop at Gotong Jaya, my dad say thats enough for me for today. Hahaha... he just dont trust me thats all =\ so we stop at the 'tong sui' shop for some dessert, and then continue our journey.
Okay.. bla bla bla nth interesting. skip to the room part.when they gave us the room card key, we went up to the room and slot the card in. Push the door open,the next thing we found out that the door was locked... and its from the inside (the 'u' shape thing, not the shoot.) So we were screaming outside... and i, the 'smart' fella, go kick the door and there was a loud 'bang' sound. no one replied, so it was assumed to be empty. And yes, we did asked if anyone was in there through the fringe of the door. that time, there was 1 old uncle came out of his room behind us looking at us. wth is with him? we cant go in waadd.... =___=
So later on my dad,mom and her sis went down to complain bout the door, and we 4 brothers were starting to give deductions.(Detective Conan....) How the hell would this be happening?? if there was no one inside, and the door was locked from the iside, then that must be that the someone came out from the room through the window? thats super wierd... and did i mention it was 11 stories high, excluding the car park levels and the mountain slope below the carpark??? its like u can almost see nothing below from the window. And things start popping out from my mind, maybe cos i watch too much Detective Conan anime, that this could be a murder case and there's one dead body inside and we would be the witness to that crime sceen. Wtf.... seriously i was worried at that time, at the same time anxious and wanna know what is happening inside. First time mahhh, give some face lahh... hahaha
And so, the bellboy came up. At that time i wasnt there, i was in another room waiting. My bro told me he use some sort of cardboard, insert into the fringe where the door opens and then slams it. coool, y dint i think of that.... So i dont think this is the first time that guy handle this type of case. Then my dad, mom and her sis accompanied by the bellboy, went into the room.(kinda like break in to the room) It was dark and my dad switch on the lights.
Suddenly, one 'black' man came out and scared the hell out of that bell boy as he was leading the group. He immediately fall back 4 steps. lol after i heard that was laughing all the way... hahahaha XD
Then the man said that he had checked in to this room and its his. So basicly there was some mistake on the receptionist for giving us this room lah. after that my dad was onfire. cos we broke in to others room and what if he/she was doing something private... and this room, suppose to be ours, turned out that it wasnt ours. So they went down to complain again. This time they demanded to see the person incharge or some higher authority. The Front desk manager came out and say they will check into this matter and told us to wait for the news tmr.
So the next day we went to see the DM - Duty Manager of the Front Office, accompanied by the assistant front office manager. came to appologise. Lol u should hear how my dad speaks to him. My dad... a singaporean... english with limited vocab and those 'uncle style', jearking all the way, of speaking, plus a little of malaysian broken english.... Talk to the DM using all his own words and sentences. He manage to put up all the english letters he know together into one 'rojak' sentance and he speaks as if its damn correct and theres not a problem with it. Damn cool wehh...wish id taped it down. and he also remain calm and confident as he speaks. We were laughing behind him, and at that time we were thinking whether to help him out if he ran out of words to say.
Not bad, in the end, the problem was solved by the DM professionaly and we were told that we have a room upgrade when the next trip to genting.As expected, genting handle things with stylee~~ LoL.... xD
Awesome trip... but all the time was wasted arguing with the front desk manager. he seriously cannot handle such things professionaly. he could have just give us some free stuffs and settle it on the spot already, rather than calling his senior/head to come deal with it. Thats the lesson i learnt that day, to handle situations professionaly next time and not push to others. =)
