Kindness Of Strangers :)

Fuhh~!!!

What a great/a bit tiresome/a bit upsetting day today...

Work as usual, not so hectic, fun and well, a bit upsetting...

Lets start from the beginning..

Today, before going to work, I went to have my hair cut, (after a while,its a bit tiresome to keep tying my hair up..ahaha) before going to work.. When I arrived at work, firstly I got weird looks from my colleagues.. xD

They couldnt recognize me..Ahahaha...Anyways, after changing into my uniform I went up to work.. Then..

Fast forward to why I was a bit upset today..There were 3 Japanese men checking out today.. I wont reveal which company they are from, as its PNC.. Anyways they were all checking out at the same time.. It was the usual check out procedure..Or so I thought.. My colleague was checking out one of them while I was checking out the other, I was a bit confused with his bill status.. (Biasa la..kan masih baru..ahaha)

So I asked my other senior who was not busy for assistance.. It was all going well..Until the guest that my colleague was dealing with, checked out.. Coincidentally, when that particular guest checked out, 2 women, whom I assume are from the same company as them, came to the reception..One of them was a Japanese, the other I think was a local.. The Japanese woman for some reason checked the bill of the guest that my colleague had checked out..That's when the trouble started.. She was furious bout the rate.. It was not the rate that was promised to her..

I wont go to much in detail about this as its quite rather complicated..., Lets just say that harsh words were said directly at me and my colleagues (in a different language lagi tu.... )And it took bout 20 minutes + to settle that matter.. So after that matter was settled, I was a bit upset for awhile, I mean its the first time I had that kind of situation, and though I know there are possibly more to come, and I have to toughen up, still, it bothers me sometime.... Even after the guests have long gone checked out, my mind kept replaying what had happened, I couldnt get over it.. I even started to get a bit mad at my colleagues who didn't hand over bout that bills from the guests to us, (different shift) even though I know its not their fault, I couldn't help but feel a bit mad...After awhile I calmed down and I know that I should toughen up and just let bygones be bygones..

Though when I had my dinner later at Kopitiam, I didnt have much of an appetite... I ate very little before going back up...Then did work as usual, joked a lot (haha!) with my collegaues so I wasnt muka masam..(it worked!), answered the phone, blah blah.. :P

Then at bout 21.30 pm, I standby to check in the Mas Crew, last flight from KL.. After awhile, they arrived and so I turned over their form for them to check in, turned over the pamphlet that mentioned the bonuses for the Mas Crew staying at GDLH... 

As I was waiting for their Cabin Crew-In-Charge to fill it up, they were talking about where to go and eat..If Im not mistaken, they asked where is the nearest place to eat that was still open..So I told them about Medan Selera, that it was still open at this hour.. Then one of them asked me what time my  shift ended, I was a bit surprised at first, but managed to answer the question..He then asked something like whether I can join them later,Im not so sure how he asked it, but I do remember one of his crew tegur him, 

"Kalo nak ajak orang, tanya la baik2 la..." Ahahaha

Tambah lagi la I blur..So I just managed a smile, and kept quiet..ahahaha.. After that, I gave them their room keys and internet password to those that asked for it.. Then I went back to the reception to update their profile..Not long after that, as it was not busy, I closed my cashier, handed over my duties to the overnight shift and went down to the locker to change.. As I was changing, I couldnt help it but, my mind drifted to what had happened earlier that afternoon.. I suddenly felt sad again, even after all the laughter I had with my colleagues.. 

After putting my uniform away, I swiped my card as usual.. Still feeling sad, I figured maybe Im just hungry,thats why I keep thinking bout it..So I decided to go to Medan Selera to and get some food.. I informed my colleagues that were waiting for the hotel transport of my whereabouts and that Im also following the transport, so they would not leave me behind if I happened to be late.. When I reached Medan Selera, I quickly went to order my food..On my way there, I saw a group of people that looked familiar..,When I was closer, I saw that it was the Mas Crew! Lol

And I thought, 'Harap2 tiada nampak sy.." So I sat quietly down and ordered my food to take away..While I was waiting, I heard someone say 

"Datang jga dia..."

When I heard that, I could feel someone staring at me and I had feeling I knew who it was, but I buat tak tahu sja. and suddenly found my nail very interesting to look at..xD 

I thought they would ignore me, but then I heard someone tegur me,so I looked to my left, and saw the same guy that tegur my when I was checking them in.. He asked me to join them, and I looked over to their table, expecting someone snickering, but, to my surprise, there was none..They all look very warm and inviting, and so after a few pujukan from the guy, I reluctantly joined them..

Guess what?? They were so friendly! I mean, thats the first time I was talking to a Mas Crew after their working hours! Their friendliness soon won me over, and I began relaxing and began to feel less awkward.. We soon began talking and I heard stories about their past jobs, their experience being a Mas Crew, the challenges that they face..The places they get to visit! =)

Soon, my food arrived, and I was checking the menu to find out how much it cost, when,their cabin crew-in-charge, asked me something unexpected.. He asked me how much my meal cost, I said I didn't know, and was trying to find out the price.. 

Then he said, that it was OK, they will pay my meal for me..And I instantly went, "WHAT THE???" in my mind.. I was speechless for awhile before I came to my sense and told them that they didn't have to do that.. But they kept insisting that they would pay, and I just kept arguing...It got to a point where I said that they were my guests at my hotel, and they shouldn't be picking up my bill, but, one of the Mas Crew managed to turn my answer around to the other direction..He replied saying, "But, we're not at the hotel now right???"

Then I became speechless again, and I couldn't think up of a smart reply so I took my purse out and took some money out to pay for my meal, ( I just couldn't let them pay for me! ) and I put it on the table and still insisting that they didn't have to pay for me..

After awhile, they asked me bout my transport to go back home, and I suddenly remembered that I was going to be left behind if I didn't leave soon.. So, when I got up to leave, they were talking amongst each other and they were talking to the guy ( the one that asked me when my shift ended ) that he should walk be to outside of Medan Selera as it was dark out there and that it might not be safe..(something like that) SO, while they were busy talking bout that, I tried to sneak my money in to the girl hands whose dad owns the gerai, to pay for my meal..It almost worked, except the cabin crew-in-charge had sharp eyes, saw what I was doing, told the guy, and the guy took my money from the girl's hand and put it in my plastic bag where my food was placed... And told her that they were paying for my meal.. I felt my cheeks blushing really red and I was glad the light there wasn't so bright, so no one could see how red I was turning.. The guy turned and looked at me and looked like he wanted to cekik me, because I tried to pay for my meal when his back was turned... :P

Then he actually walked me to the front of Medan Selera, and for some reason he apologised, I don't know exactly why, I couldn't really hear him that well at that time... But all the same, it was really nice and sweet of him to do so, and he didn't really have to do it..,but he did..=)

When we reached the front of Medan Selera, I thanked him and then we said our goodbyes..

From where we were standing, I could see my other colleagues waiting for the hotel transport.. I could see that they were staring at me and the guy.. And when I went over there, one of them looked at me slyly and said 

"Awal juga ko bliikk..." 

I just looked at her,smiled and told her what happened at Medan Selera..

Im really grateful for today..=)

What started off as boring day, then turned into a bad day when that incident took place with my guests, then ended as a good day thanks to the kindness of strangers.. ^^ 

I wish those Mas Crew the best of luck in whatever they do.. 

Amen to that! :))

Random Dates..xD

Random Dates!

Ahahaha.

I'll be honest, Ive never been on dates before..xD And then,this year,its like..

*thinking*

Well.. Im going on random dates..ahaha Its so weird..In a nice way =)

Im not used to it..In fact, Im a bit freak out (not exactly freak out x2,but close enough) coz Im soooo not used to it.. Guys never ask me out..

And for it to happen this year, not that Im proud,but, it really boosts my confidence..

I mean, before, I used to think that, when going on dates, one has to look before one leaps..Basically, think bout what you're gonna say, before you actually say it.. I tried that at first, but I got bored, and to be honest, it felt kinda fake.. So I just talked about whatever that was on my mind.. Made silly remarks about a few things.. Told funny stories..*Yadiyada yada*... Ahahaha =)

Talked bout random things..Like..erm...The fact that I just DONT understand HOW its possible that eating chocolate mixed with something else..Like erm.. This Cadbury Chocolate product called Dairy Milk Fruit And Nut..(FYI IM SO NOT DISSING THIS CHOCOLATE OK?? Its just an example..) I mean, when I say I Love eating chocolate, I seriously mean just chocolate!! Not chocolate mixed with something else.. It spoils the name..==" Chocolate is chocolate..Chocolate with nuts is chocolate with nuts.. 

The one place (that I know of) that I really really absoutely positively want to visit is Awfully Chocolate!!! The way that shop prepares their cakes and other recipes is exactly the way I love my chocolate.. Chocolate cake with only chocolate ingredients inside!! No other flavouring like strawberry or walnut inside the chocolate.. Well, the other ingredients are the normal ingredients needed to make a cake, but other than that..Its just PURE CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yea!! Hehehe =)

Awfully Chocolate first shop opened in Singapore..The rest of it you can look it up on the Internet...=) Hehe..

Thats basically what my random talk would be on..Ahahaha... 

Yea..That's basically what I would do on my random dates.. xDDD

Yea..*slaps hand on forehead* I guess I should clam up bout Random Dates..Ahaha.. 

It might not happen anymore if I keep yapping on and on....anndddd on bout this.. No surprises then for future random dates.. xD 

Nites!

Selamat Hari Raya!

Gosh! Its already Raya time!! ahahaha

Times passes soooo fast! :DD It feels like it was only yesterday the puasa month started..

And now,its already Raya??!! :)

I looove celebrating Hari Raya even though Im not a Muslim,after all, we are 1Malaysia right??!! 

I even bought myself baju Raya! hehe.. And wore it to work the first two days of Raya. =)

The best part, all my friends who are studying outside of Labuan, are back in Labuan for the Raya holidays!!

How great is that??!!!! I MISS them soo much! Lol  :D

Another thing I like about Raya is the food!! Ahaha.. I looove food!! 

So many types of food!! *mouth watering* Ahaha :D

But, of course, Raya is not about food.. Its about more than just that.. :)

Raya is also one of the absolute BEST time to share with friends! I mean, you can trade stories that happened to you during the previous raya...Be it funny, or painful (eg. firecracker mishap maybe?) and etc..

Though, this raya, Im a bit upset as Im not able to beraya with my friends who are in Labuan for the Raya holidays, due to work.. I can go,but, the timing is not really good.. Oh well, theres always next year right?

Or hopefully maybe another public holiday.. Like Deepavali? I cant wait for that! :)

Besides Raya celebrations, nothing much is going on in my life..Just like one or two random dates sometimes, but, nothing to shout about though on those random dates..Speaking of random dates, I guess now I have another topic to talk about.. Ahaha.. Not in this post of course.. xD

Next post on Random Dates coming up! Ahaha

Just Another Day :)

Sometimes, I cant help but think of quotes, quotes that describe feelings.. Things, LIFE..:)

Even when Im at work, and its not too busy, I tend to look at my surroundings..And in a short while, I just sort of day dream..Lol.. :P

The quotes that I love most are from a series called 'Criminal Minds'.! I absolutely love the criminology talk..If u knw what I mean :) The quotes range from so many different people..Eleanor Roosevelt,to Yoda, Samuel Beckett.. And so on.. The characters also have their own quotes.. Well, sort of.. In a way... They do use some lines from some movies like star trek, and so on.. The way they use it (the lines) in their conversations.. It can be funny at times..ahaha.. OR it can make one raise their eyebrows for awhile..(As one tries to decipher what they really mean..) :P

Some of my favourite quotes are

 

Garcia: Okay, you know how on Star Trek when Captain Kirk asked McCoy to do something totally impossible, and McCoy says, 'Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor not a miracle worker?'
Morgan: Hey, what are you telling me? Not to expect a miracle?
Garcia: No, I'm saying I'm not a doctor.
Morgan: That's my girl.

~Gilbert Parker 

"The strength of a family, like the strength of an army, is in its loyalty to each other."

~Mario Puzo
So far, those are my most favourite quotes.. There's more, but its so many.. Ahaha 
:) Getting Late.. Gotta hit the sack.. ;)
Goodnite World! Ahaha.. Or rather, Good Morning! ^^ 

Wow!

Wow! Its been so long since I last did my blog.. I cant believe it! Its been over 4 months since I last updated my blog.. To begin this, I better explain why Ive been gone so long..ahaha

:D

Well, for the first 3 months of this year I was in National Service, also know as Program Latihan Khidmat Negara.. Then about two weeks after that I was in the UK with my mum helping my 2nd older sister to look after her kids as she was having a operation..( Nothing serious though :) ) And I was there for about 6 weeks, so I couldnt update my blog as I was taking care of my very young niece and nephew :)

They're so cute !! hehe and sometimes a bit naughty..ahahah 

Well,they are kids after all :)

And then when I came back to Labuan, well, I kind of forgot my password for my blog..hee..

*smiles sheepishly* :) But I finally remember it! yeayy~! Which is why Im back updating my blog..ahaha

So, here goes..

Memories during my National Service

3rd Januray ~ 10th of March 2010 

My life in during my NS was the best time of my life! I'll never forget it! As Ive never been away from my home for such a long time ,( 3 days away at camp does not count :P ) it was really an experience! I had the chance to do flying fox ( my third time doing it, still, it gave me the same feeling as if I was doing it for the first time ) , kawad, make frens from different races, and lots more! It really was the best ever! The only sad feeling I had during my time there was when it was over.. It was a bit unfair as we had to go back to our homes 4 days earlier as the SPM result came out on the 11th of March.. ( We were supposed to be finished with PLKN on the 14th ) Nearly everybody was crying on the last day of PLKN.. 

The hardcore ones, ( mostly guys ) refused to cry even though it was evident in their eyes that they wanted to cry as well.. The pictures I had taken during my time there is never really the same as being there and doing the activities there.. I look at my pictures now, and sometimes cry wishing I could do it all over again.. :')

But, I cant, I can only bring the memories with me wherever I go..  And sometimes,the memories are just enough to 'transport' me back to PLKN..

 I miss my kelas PK ( Pembinaan Karakter) , kelas Integrasi , kelas KK ( Kelas Komuniti ), and kelas KN 

 ( Kelas Kenegaraan ) .. :) The activities were soo..Well,lets just say that one has to think very carefully before doing some of the activities..U dont necessarily have to listen to EVERYTHING they ( the jurulatih ) tell u to do..It requires quick yet clever thinking before u do what they tell u to do.. Ahaha.. C:

Though it ended too soon, Im so glad that I had the chance to go there, learn so many new things.. Make new friends.. Gain new experience, and so much more..
Thank yoouu Government ! For making PLKN exist! C:

Sorry

Im sorry but Im unable to post bout the KL trip..

its too long..lolx

;)

A friend of mine advised me not to write my blogs too long..hee.

I guess thats true..

So,I wont be writing extremely long blogs from now on..~

^^

Sayonara for now~

GBU!

=)

An Amazing Holiday in KL [17 Dec - 23 Dec]

17 Dec

As I was waiting at the Labuan Airport for my flight, I bought myself two True Singapore Ghost Stories a.k.a TSGS so that I would not be bored on the plane as the flight was over an hour and a half.. And so when me and my family boarded the plane, I couldnt help but notice that there was this one guy who looked a lot like my friend from Kelantan.. I kept staring at him wondering if it was him.. He must have felt that I was staring at him becoz right then he looked at me with a questioning look so I quickly look away and look at bag with interest..

[U do knw what I mean right? :D]

About half an hour after me and family reached the airport, we boarded the plane.. Once on the plane, I made myself comfortable on my seat as the steward and stewardess walked up and down clicking away on that tiny device invented to count the passengers on board..=) I took out my TSGS and began reading.. After a while, I felt as if someone was staring at me, so I looked to my right, but my mum and dad werent paying attention to me at all.. So I looked to my left.. My blood turned cold for a second. It was the guy that I was staring at.. I quickly turned my attention back to my book and acted as if nothing had happened... I took a peek now and then at the corner of my eyes to check to see if he was still staring..

After some time,he stopped.. Not much happened after that..So Im skipping to the part where me and my family arrive at our hotel, Bluewave Hotel in Shah Alam..

When I first arrived there,the first thing I did was call dibs on the best bed in the hotel room,though I was just a little bit too slow as my younger sis had already called dibs on the best bed.. Anyways, after unpacking our belonging's we all went down to the hotel's lobby.. There,my dad ask information at the reception before we walked to the nearest shopping mall in Shah Alam..My first impression was that it was quite big compared to Ujana Kewangan in Labuan.. But,when I went in.. I was a bit disappointed..There weren't much places to shop there.. Just mostly boutique and all that.. So,I didnt buy much there..Just a wedding card for my sister's wedding..That was the only item that I bought there..

Then I met up with my parents and sis again and we headed back to the hotel..a bit disappointed..I noticed on our way in the hotel at the conceirge counter that the hotel provided free bus shuttle to shopping malls in KL..Intruged, I decided to check it out later..When we reached our rooms, we took our time and relax and showered before heading down to have our dinner...Dinner was tasty so I ate quite a lot at the buffet table..hehe =)

Then I decided to check out the bus shuttle shcedule at the conceirge.. When I reached there, I wasnt the only one checking out the schedule..There was another hotel guest there.. Waiting for my turn, I check the schedule..

I was soo glad to see that they offered rides to malls like Sunway Pyramid, KLCC..as I have never ever been there before..Whenn the woman in front of me was done, I asked the man there (Sorry, I forgot his name) some questions 'bout the bus shuttle service.. Like say,the pick-up time is 5.30 pm,and yet,me and family are still in the shopping complex,not at the pick-up spot,probably because maybe we got lost,or lost track of time..etc..And whether they(the bus shuttle service) would wait for us till we got in the bus,or whether we would get left behind.. He answered and I was relieved with the answer.. (They would wait until we got out..) ^^

He asked me whether me and my family were planning to use it tomorrow, I said I wasnt sure yet.. He then told me that in order to use the bus shuttle service, we had to fill out forms.. So I waited while he look for the forms.. I have to admit,he did look kind of cute..lol.. He seemed vaguely familiar.. ( why does nearly everybody I saw seem familiar??) But I shook the thought out my mind as quickly as it had come in.. He then suddenly stopped looking for the forms, and looked at me and gave me a sheepish look..(Which made me blush a little as it somehow made him look cuter..lol xD) He told me that he couldnt find any of the forms, and so he asked for my name,room number and contact number so that he could inform me once he found it..

So, on a piece of paper, I wrote down my name,room number and contact number.. He then asked whether it would be all right if he could call at 10.30pm as thats the only time he would be free, I said it wouldnt be a problem as I would still be awake..After that, I went back up to my hotel room and changed into my pajamas.. After that, I watched tv for awhile and was smsing at the same time, when the phone rang.. I answered it, and it was well, you-knw-who..

So,he told me that he still coulndt find the forms, and then asked whether my family and I were going to use their bus shuttle service tomorrow or not, I told him that I still wasnt sure yet, but that I will let him knw if we were going to use their bus shuttle services tomorrow..

I thought that was the end of the conversation,that is..until he asked this..

"Erm..Miss Kimberley,can I ask u something?"

I didnt think much of it, so I said "Ok"

He then asked

"Erm..Miss Kimberley umur berapa ea?"hee..

For some reason, I had to stopped myself from giggling.. I dont knw why,but I found it a bit funny.. I mean, isnt it a bit funny if a hotel employee asked a guest something like that? lolx
:P
I answered, between a cough that hopefully covered up my giggles.lol. and said that I was 17..
I could tell that he was surprised to hear that as he was quiet for a moment before saying
Ok and good night..
I had a good laugh that night.. hehe..^^
Not much happened after that except me smsing my fren and watching tv..A quater past 11pm, I felt sleepy so I got ready for bed,switched off the tv,and went to sleep..

The End~! hehe

Whew~! lolx . 18Dec coming up! hehe
