I feel like a glutton ! Been eating and sleeping since K and I checked into York hotel on Saturday morning.. My mother in law had more than $200 worth of vouchers at the cafe and the vouchers were expiring in like 2 days time so you can imagine how much we ate! Nonetheless, the food was not that fantastic.. the hotel had their famous Penang food fare but unfortunately, we didn't go for that cause the vouchers were not applicable to the Penang food fare.. I'm so going to go for the Penang food before it ends on 14 September! Love the prawn noodles and fried kuay teow!
Over the 2 days, i had fish and chips, 2 banana splits, chicken porridge, one totally horrible breakfast buffet, and 2 honey lemon green tea from SweetTalk.. and yesterday night, i met up with my JC classmates and our Business Mgmt teacher at Crystal Jade to celebrate Teacher's day with a feast for 10 people.. One of my classmates had bought a huge bouquet for our teacher on behalf of all of us.. there was much laughter and reminiscing as we recollected stories of our school days, and also updated each other on our lives.. = ) Time really flies! We were all from the class of 1998, and it's been 10 years already! Nonetheless, some things never change.. = P
After dinner, we took a group picture before splitting up.. one of my classmates, whom we used to nicknamed "Cauliflower" because of his curly hair, gave me a ride to my hotel as he was meeting his girlfriend in Orchard.. K had been so sweet and sent me to my dinner earlier and drove all the way back to the hotel, but since Cauliflower was sending me, i didn't ask K to pick me up.. Back in my hotel room, i showered, and K and I watched "Tears of the Sun" starring Bruce Willis till late before we fell asleep..
The next morning, we woke up and headed down for the horrible buffet breakfast.. After that we went to Lucky Plaza, planning to change some Aussie dollars for our Perth trip. In the end, we didn't cause the rates were too lousy.. At about 2pm, we had lunch and checked out.. For my check out, i refused to approach the same receptionist who checked us in on Saturday.. This girl was super rude to us when we checked in. There was no eye contact at all throughout the whole process when she was talking to us.. no smiles, no proper greeting.. and the way she asked for our IC and passport was totally unacceptable to me. She was like: "Passport?" Didn't even say "Please?" or "May I?" Nothing of that sort. ZILCH! Very poor customer service.. When my mom in law said she didn't bring her passport, this stupid girl can even retort back and said: "You never go home one meh?" MY GOD!!! As if we check into hotel so that we can go home on the same day just to bring the stupid passport for her! She was so rude my mom in law yelled at her and told her straight in the face that she's not going to go home just to get the passport. I thought that was already very mild.. I have already jotted down her name and intend to write a complaint letter to the York Hotel top management tomorrow. If there's one thing i can't stand, it's bad service. I remembered once i was so pissed at this hotel receptionist in Malaysia that i took her picture right in front of her and asked her for her name. I even asked for her manager, who was equally rude to me and took a picture of the manager as well!
Upon check out, K and I headed home.. We had wanted to go to Bugis to shop for cheap watches and sunglasses, and also to buy a friend's birthday present, but there was a super bad traffic jam due to the IT exhibition at Suntec, so in the end we went home.. In the evening, K and I met up with F to go jogging at Pasir Ris Park.. i jogged non-stop for 5 km until my right knee cap started to hurt... really proud of myself! Actually, i must attribute it to my MP3s, the tempo of the songs can really keep me going without resting..
K didn't feel well so he didn't jog at all.. he is down with mild case of food poisoning, which got worse when we went to my Grandma's place for dinner.. My mom had cooked dinner with my favourite potatoes and pork.. i had a quick dinner before leaving cause K looked really bad by then..
Went home, did some housework, and getting ready to sleep now.. K won't be going to work tomorrow, so i asked A to give me a lift to work tomorrow.. it's been a long long time since i last sat in his car.. well, i guess I won't be getting anymore free rides once he moves to Bangkok..
