It really was a day. A tiring tiring TIRING DAY!!! I've never been that tired before. It's even worse than the TVXQ 2nd concert here in Malaysia.
The purpose of walking around Bukit Bintang was to seek help from the hotels to help us fill in the questionnaires for our thesis.
We met up at Times Square at around 10.30 am. Then we break into 2 groups. Pui Kuen and me in 1 group. We walk to the Berjaya Times Square Hotel first as it is just the same building. We went to ask the receptionist of where is the HR department located. Its actually behind and behind (I don't know what exactly is it =.=). Well, its ok. We still have our mouth with us. We can always ask people. We walk walk walk and walk. Then I feel something soft like water. I thought it was raining. But its not. Its way more worse than that. OMG!!! It was the garbage collector who is washing the floor. Eeeewwww... The water splatter way to our direction. Lucky, he's not spray the water to us but its still disgusting because the water drops onto my face and my clothes. AARRGGHHHH!!!!!!! What a bad thing.
Then, we continue our journey but we can't find the door the receptionist had mentioned. Lucky we found a staff and he lead us there. We did the procedure with the security and went to the HR dept. My heart beat very fast and I'm really nervous. It was our first time and first hotel that we asked. We went in and saw some staff and talk to her. Well, we need for their approval. It's ok I guess. It's their procedure anyway. We went out and take back our ID and go to the next hotel which is Melia Hotel.
At Melia Hotel, we met a really funny guy receptonist. He's really helpful as he show us how to go to the HR dept with his extraordinary body language. Hahaha... We went there and the security was quite easy to find because it's just on the left corner. We done the visitor procedure and went to the lift to the HR dept. When we got out of the lift, we got shocked. The area was under constructions and I can't see the "office". Lucky there's a foreigner saw us (he went into the lift after we came out) and give us the direction. Ok... we reach at the HR dept which is behind a door that seperate the renovation area with the office. But to our dismay, the guy that we are talking to also have questtionnaires phobia. Hahaha... He say "Oh... Not again?? We've already done 4 set of questionnaires and today morning there's another student also beg us to do it. I really cannot help you all already. The staff already make noise saying they don't want to do any already. Haiz... Let me see your questionnaire." We pass the questionnaire to him. The moment he take the questinnaire, he was so shock. It was really thick. Around 9 pages. It was really funny. I mean his facial expressions. But I can't laugh. It will be so rude and we are seeking their help. Then he say, "Wow.. So many. It was a really interesting title though but we really cannot help you. Sorry." Well, we cannot do anything if they can't help us. Its not that they can't but they had already done 4 sets of questionnaires. We need to be understanding.
Next destination, Federal Hotel. Well, I've got nothing to say about Federal Hotel because their HR head was not in. But it took us some time to find the way to reach Federal Hotel and some time to their reception =.= because we went in through back door.
Then, we went to next door which is Royale Bintang Hotel. I tell you ah... Don't you ever come to this hotel. This hotel has the worst customer service of all (although we are not customer but other hotel's staff still treat us way better than them). First, I don't know whether it's our bad day or because of the garbage floor's water, that receptionist give us don't know what direction. I heard he say B2 but Pui Kuen heard B3. Never mind, we tried both. We went to B2 first. It was a parking area. I walk from left to right and can't see a security also. Then we went back to lift. While we are waiting, Pui Kuen told me that she saw a middle aged man at the parking lot there holding a pen or a knife. When I heard that, I totally freaked out because there's no other people at the there except us and that man. When, the lift door open I quickly pull her inside. We did the same too at the B3. We went back to lift and the lift stop at B2. OMG!!!!!!!!! We are so panic. When the door opens, we got shock that theres a middle aged man stood there. He came in and nothing happened of course and ask for which floor will be the lobby. We help him and get our butt out of the lift at B1. When we come out, we saw the security sign and directly go there. We tell the security our purpoe and he say he need to ask the HR dept people first. The HR dept talked to Pui Kuen and say we need to call them first. Ok... I call him and he say we need to follow the procedures. We need to write or email to him with the formal letter from university and he will give it to his manager about it to wait for approval. Then, he say if it is about questionnaires, normally they will not help because it is a peak season right now, all the staff were busy and bla bla bla with keep on going excuses. I told him that I have the letter with me and should I pass to him personally and have a small talk our this matter and show the questionnaire to him. He say no need and ask us to pass the letter to the security and he will bring it to them. Then, we just do as he say and the security guard was even more confuse. I guess no one ever leave things to him to pass to HR. I think the letter won't get to the HR hands either. What the heck. He din even appoint us to his working area and his attitude on the phone was really not and doesn't sound friendly at all. We risk our lives (although nothing happen) and he just do that to us. I TOTALLY BAN ROYALE BINTANG HOTEL FROM NOW ON!!!!!!!
Next, we just went along the road back to the BB Plaza. Then, we saw many smaller hotels along the road and quickly went in. We did went into around 5-6 hotels and only 1 hotel help us which is the Bintang Warisan Hotel. We called up this hotel before on Wednesday and they agree to help us with no excuses at all. This hotel not bad. Anyone want to live at KL and need cheap hotel, this hotel is recommended ^^.
It's lunch time, and it is the busiest time for the hotel. So, we went to have a drink at Mc Donald and eventually I took my lunch there also. Then, we meet up with Stella and Choe Wah at U Village which we need to take a big round of Sungei Wang because Pui Kuen and I also don't know how to get there from inside of Sungei Wang. Then we have a little discussion. Stella told us their journey. They were well treated by the Grand Millennium Hotel (previously Regent Hotel which TVXQ and Super Junior stayed before ^^) staff. They got the opportunity to visit the hotel and so on but unfortunately when they went there that time it was lunc time and the HR staff went for lunch. They only manage to get 2 sets fill up. They need to go there again after lunch. But when they went back, the HR Head does not approve it. But I think it still ok since they are being so friendly and treated them so well. This hotel also recommended. Hehe...
After lunch, we went to opposite of Sungei Wang... Which we need to walk a distance to get to the bridge to cross over the road. At this time we went to the Coronade Hotel. Pui Kuen and me have phobia of being turn down and really envy of Stella of being so easy. So we ask her to show how did she talk to the people. The supervisor also very nice and friendly and helpful too. He say he will help us to pass the letter and the questionnaire to the Coordinator (I think) to let him have a look at the questionnaires first. After the coordinator finished he will call us or maybe we can call him. He really is very helpful ^^ So this hotel is recommended too.
Then, we went to a really nice and friendly hotel which is ParkRoyal Hotel. The receptionist is friendly, the security is friendly and took us to the HR dept and the HR Head also damn friendly and talk comfortly to us. She still can joke with us. Yeah, this friendly hotel also recommended.
After that, we went to Star Hill and it took us sometime to find the JW Marriot's reception. They are friendly too. Gosh!! JW Marriot. A BIG hotel and 5 star hotel. I really nervous and have this thought that they will not us because it does not benefit them at all. But to my surprise, the HR people willing to help us. She say they previously have help other students before and they can help us too but she cannot confirm that the staff will co-operate well with us. She say will try to help us. OMG!!! I'm really happy that this 5 star hotel willing to help us. I'm happy till I call up onnie to tell her that she is right after we came up to the lobby. I really love her ^^.
We walk back outside and ask one of the staff there where is the Prince Hotel. Then he say we need to walk across the Pavillion to get there. OMG!!!! My leg ady patah and still need me to walk so far!!! Then we ask him whethere there are any hotel nearer. And to our surprise the Westin Hotel is just next door.
We directly went to the Westin Hotel and ask. However, the HR staff was not around and we need to email her. Anyway, the Manager on duty for reception did help us to and really nice and friendly.
By the time we got out of the Westin, it had already rain a while and stop. We are really happy and felt that our luck is coming back after lunch ^^. We went back to Star Hill and to our good luck we found the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Both us really syok giler. The receptionist was friendly too and told us briefly about the hotel's policy. He show us the direction too. However, when we reach the ground floor, we got no idea where is it. So, we seek help from a guard. The guard really not friendly. After we ask him direction, both of us still don't know where and he saw us like "mang chung chung" he shout at us "sana... bukan sini..." How rude =P Then he shout at a younger security guard to guide us there. This young 1 really way nicer than that old bag =.= He lead us till the security to the HR dept inside!! OMG!!! And he's handsome too ^^ However... the HR lady say they cannot help us due to the hotel's policy which stated they cannot help in research and do questionnaires. Then she ask other 5 star hotels also didn't help us right? I directly say JW Marriot help us. It is a 5 star hotel too. Then she didn't say anything =P
Well, after the Ritz-Carlton we end our journey today and went back to Times Square to meet up with the rest. On our way back. I got shocked by Stella and Choe Wah because they were walking behind us. I actually thought they reach Times Square already. At that moment I really feel happy because we finally finished distributing our questionnaires and need not to worry too much already. Finally, I can breath already.
We reach back at Times Square after going through the raining which I'm glad that it's not heavy. We had our dinner at Gasoline. The atmosphere is not bad. Feels like those japanese restaurants. The food not bad too ^^ But my plate looks empty. Hahaha...
Now understand what I say?? They should have put something.
Salad maybe to make it look nicer ^^
Here's my drink. Its call Plumple. Its sour plum + green apple + jello. Its nice and very high^^
After our dinner, we walked around Times Square because its really jam at that time. By this time we really drag our leg insted of walking. Really patah ady.
When I got home. I really beat up. I can't move anymore. I laid on my bed to rest but i slept without showering. OMG!!! And I sleep for almost 18 hours!!! OMG!!! Such a pig. Hahaha...
Although it's tiring but we also gain some experiences and met up with random character people. It's fun. We met with some funny adventures. It's cool to meet with people.
