The "One Room - 7 pple" Saga

 

Remember that i mention previously that I ended up having to stay in a room for 7 pple on my redang trip... well, it's finally settled... here is wat actually happened, gonna share it here since some of ya wanna know the outcome..

We reach the resort at Laguna in Redang only to find out that either the agent or the hotel made a mistake and booked only 1 room, a quad sharing one.. and since it was fully booked during that weekend, hence the 7 of us had to moved into one room, the other alternative was to moved to another resort. But we were all tired from our 13 hour journey and did not want to waste any more precious time on this paradise.. we just wanna kick off our shoes and relax...

When we got back to s'pore, i had to prepare for church camp the next day hence left the situation to the guys to handle it... however on my return, i found out that it's still left hanging.. the agent told then that they'll only refund $20 each... it seems that no one really bothered abt it or they were just waiting for me to settle it.. cos it seems like i'm the only "fierce" one in the group... haha.. so watch out.. i'm no door mat.. Like wat one of the contestant in The Apprentice said, "I'm a shark dressed in a goldfish outfit.."

Anyhow, I arranged to go down to speak with the agent, only to find out she was situated at Jurong Point! Siao!!.. i refuse to make the trip down unless i know it would be settled on the spot, i called up the agent to tell her off.. $20 was way too little and proposed that $362, which David had so kindly worked out for the cost of a room based on the Resort's brochures..

The next few days, the agent called back again to tell me that the management had finialised and will only pay us $180 which is the profits they got.. Who cares abt ur profits!? If the resort made the mistake, you should go after them and not penalise us.. Kau! Trying to con me.. how can it be so little?! for seven people! I told her to pass the phone to the manager, whom she said wasn't in (LAME!) then i said i'll call back tomorrow morning.. but then she say i could drop her a email.. U think i so free to write email, i scolded her and asked her for the management direct number... which she had no choice but to give.. She has no idea who she is dealing with... *@#%$!&*%

To my surprise, half an hour later... she called back and guai guai gave me the refund + half of our snokelling expenses (which i give in, suppose to be full amt)... which comes up to S$390... but to me it's really not abt the money.. it's for the loss time, anguish, anxiety, inconvenient.. how rare it is for us to take leave, go on a trip together with our friends.. and i mean.. when you pay good money you expect the basics things.. like A ROOM!!

Anyway, i'm glad that this whole saga is finally over... i can finally turn back into being a normal loving human being instead of a fire spitting dragon.. i think i scare some of my friends.. they were so shocked that i'm behaving in such a tough manner.. they now call me "Mama Wan"... haha... i'm the leader of the tribe.. haha...so funnie!! And anyways we have decided to spent the money to go to Ritz Calton a good buffet meal.. Yay!
