Curiosity, Thoughts and Whatever...

1. Accommodation was at First World Hotel. As soon as I step into the hotel lobby to check-in I was greeted with a long queue just to get the queue no to check-in. My no. was 17498. A wait of at least more than 200 guests in front of me. Pathetic....never had I encountered so much hassle and time wasting in my life. Time might not be precious to many people but to me it is. I need to have the freedom of time management and use my time up efficiently. Can you imagine we had to wait for more than 50mins just to check-in? That precious 50mins could have been well spent taking my kids to play a few more round of rides, nap and etc. Interestingly was, as my eye scout through the heap of heads and people across the hotel lobby........I observed so many different things. People just sitting on the floor or chairs staring at the ceiling, sleeping, yawning, eating..........u name it....everything that you could possibly think of. Wasting time and valuable energy and not forgetting money paid to Uncle Lim. Crap system and they should do something about it. FYI, it was on a Sun afternoon and the following day was a working day.

2. As soon as I got into my room. I was utterly disappointed. I knew the rooms there are small and I wasn't expecting much. So I wasn't disappointed at all on that expect. However, what put a sour taste and a bad memory was the view of the window. There was no view at all. All I can see across the window was another room with windows just across each other...............very near....something like a stone throw away. There is no privacy, no fresh air, no cleanliness.............I can see all the dark and filthy stain and dirt across all the building wall, structure and filthy window. Just imagine Shenzhen or Guangdong budget hotels .............those that you see on TV.............red light district and etc. I kept observing the building structure and trying hard to figure why on earth the architect design such a bad building..............I am sure there are other alternative to squeeze more rooms out of the land size without compromising on the ergonomic, modern, green and customer friendly aspect.........or feeling about the place. There is just no emotion or good memory I have on the place. Its terrible and its so.......china man style......cheapskate, kiasu and kiamsiap. I have no complain if it wasn't with my family but to cut my story short........its not a good place to bring the family with kids. If you are single, couple, teenagers or gambler looking for a budget place to drop dead and wake up in 2 days time...........this is the place for you. Not for me.

3. The hospitality serve by all this rural kid, as sales assistant or waiter/waitress. I have to applaud Uncle Lim for giving so much job and opportunity to all the rural kids in this country. It is good and we should get them off the street and do some good. However, what is needed most is education. The kids working in the resort do need some basic education and customer relationship philosophy drill into them. They are raw and naive and hence some....or most of them are just out from school with form 3 or 5 level education only. The way they treat customer need to be upgraded and mentally wise improve on maturity. I was unfortunate to have encountered one idiotic girl who looks like Jane the Jungle woman. She was the cashier for this "TimPan" booth and my wife had bought 2 bowls which cost RM6/bowl. I went over to ask for an empty styrofoam bowl (so that I can divide and give some to my kids) and she had the nerve to offer me a paper cup and ask me to go away quietly. Pathetic and ridiculous. Just ridiculous. The sad part was I had mellow down. I felt a sense of anger and wanted to confront her and tell her off.............perhaps when I was in my younger days I would had screw her upside down kow kow..................but not now anymore. I am not young anymore, can't be screwing up some idiotic dumb ass and hoping the world would change. It's never going to change. Idiotic dumb arses are bound to be plenty.......everywhere. We are educated then them and hence it's best to be a gentlemen and needless to waste energy and time on them. In addition, I thought if I screw her up nicely, how am I going to explain to my kids...........how am I gong to be a good example, a role model to look up to?? I can feel I am getting old. I use to be very rebellious and very aggressive but am feeling the mellow side of myself now. Time does really change. My kids are growing up very fast and when I look at them…stared and observing them…………..sigh…..sigh….and chuckle. It just look like me when I was young. Here's a pic of Jane the jungle woman. So beware if you see her cause she's uncultured and horrible.
