June 8 – Genting trip with Team

Had to go down town to Shangri-La hotel for breakfast with new senior director. I am impressed with the ways he tackle the issues we raised to him and the way he lined his suggestions, it’s so organized and detailed. He’s précised and clear…dun have to worry abt not getting what he was saying. Respect !

Boss was nice…she told Marketing mgr to do the report herself as she wants me to enjoy my trip to Genting & KL. After breakfast, went up to Reina’s room with Beer & Gavin to rest while Reina continued her report. We made a move by 11.30am to airport.

Checked in….I called Meow telling him I will call him again when I reach Genting. Boss passed RM 3000.00 to us for the whole trip. If not enough tell her wor.

7 of us took MAS to KLIA. By 2.10pm, we were on our way to Genting on a rented van. We asked the driver to stopped by Gotong Jaya. Had late lunch at A-GO-GO Seafood reastaurant. I ordered Coffee Ice while the rest had Coconut….yes, I need caffeine ! Boss seated next to me….we talked and somehow the conversation went to relationship…seems like both of our relationship are complicated.

4.30pm, resume journey to First World Hotel….other hotels fully booked due to school holiday season.

5.00pm, I accompanied Gavin to wait for our turn to check-in while the rest went to Starbucks to work. The queue damn long…we have another 80+ numbers before our turn. Checked into room by 5.45pm. We managed to get 2 rooms connected while another 2 not connected. SMSed boss telling her which room num as she was still on her hp at the lobby.

6.00pm, boss came up, bag still on her shoulder…she told us she has to go….back to KLIA, then to S’pore. She has to board morning flight to Maldives (her b’day present). Gavin and I couldn’t make her stay….however this is not the first time she come and go immediately….super busy lady! (Few days after our trip, Gavin & I found out boss lied to us abt her personal trip, she actually sacrificied to go back to work so that we could enjoy…and the RM 3000 was from her own pocket!! We were very touched and guilty…she made us promised not to tell the rest).

The rest of the team still dunno as they were having nap. I showered…then Gavin….we woke the rest up for Dinner. Quite rush…but we managed to have our dinner at the Hotel’s café…buffet, Indonesian style….we were a little late for our show – EXTREME ! The show/meals already in the package. I must say I was quite amazed with some of the stunts…I was like covering my mouth and almost my eyes when 4 motorcyclists did their stunts in a round cage. An enjoyable show.

After the show, we had a tour around other hotels and of coz Casinos…then headed back to room to get our laptops….what else ….work lo. We couldn’t connect to Timezone, was forced to either take Celcom or Maxis for connection…so I purchased RM 5.00 from Maxis for ID/pin. Too bad I cannot share the access and only one person can use at a time.
The girls decided to go back to room while Gavin go get his hands on the ‘tables’….I am sure he has luck…he’s always lucky.

I emailed Gigi, P.Lin and B.Nee telling them I was enjoying my favourite Frapuccino Espresso…it was 3am before I decided to shut down my laptop, low battery anyway…so I SMSed Gavin telling him I am going back to room, the moment I finished sending, I looked up, there he was, right in front of me….his expression showed like he just lost some $....celaka !! He told me at first he lost….then won…then lost till RM 50, the ‘sai lang’….and managed to get back his modal….and finally won RM 150. Oh…btw, till today, he never did receive my SMS.

I couldn’t sleep till around 4.30am….the shower kept dripping from time to time….earlier my boss told us her creepy experience in a hotel in Bangalore….respect her, damn brave….maybe will blog abt this next time.
