my (what is 'Tok Saudara' in English?) owned that place. actually he just rent it from KEJORA and managed it. last year on December is the last month before the contract ends. since im jobless and my and the resort need a lot of cleaning and filing. so my tok su hired me. i worked at the front desk department but at the end i even worked at the F&B department and house keeping department.
at first i don't want to work in JB. i want to stay in KL with my friends. but then im glad i went there. i know so many people. i have a pengkid friend there. and the best of all is that i found the best abang ever.
i could still remember this particular day. it was my pengkid friend's birthday. her name is Siti Zalilah or best called Seed. you tell me where that name comes from. the day starts boring. then i start to think, what the hell should i do to make this day to be the best fucking day ever for her. err, i mean the best day not the..... whatever.
so there i was, going to each room collecting hangers while thinking how to make that day awesome and memorable. when i finished collecting the hangers in all room which is 24 rooms on each floor and each block have 2 floors. that resort has 2 blocks and a block with 12 rooms. so count the hanger i have to collect. oh yeah, each room have 4 hangers.
back to the story. when i finished collecting all the hangers, i bring it all to a store room near the front desk. on that day, seed's shift is on that evening. as soon as i saw her, a brilliant idea just pass my head.
since the resort is about to closed, so the recreation department dont bother to vacuum the pool. and at that time, the pool is so green that it looks like a lake. and i bet it smells. so my plan is to push her in it. and one thing about seed is that she loves to take a break. and i bet she wouldn't resist going to the F&B with me for a drink. here, you should know that the break thingy is all a trick for me to get her closer to the pool cause the pool is next to the F&B.
so from the F&B i need to get her to the pool. so i called abang zul, the recreation man and also one of my abang but not the abang that i mention just now. so i called him and make a plan how to make seed go to the pool. after we plan it all, abang zul said make sure there is no phone in her pocket.
now that another work for me to handle. how? so i said to her i want to listen to this one thecno song that i liked. so she gave me the phone. solved. as im about to give a sign to abang zul to start the plan, seed was already half way to the pool. when she stands exactly at the pool side, i pushed her. the way she fell makes me laugh every time i reminisce about it. she was soaking wet and thank good she was wearing a sandal and not her working shoe. but i forgot about her wallet though. it's wet too. oh yeah, she can't swim. muahaha(evil laugh)
since her shift is until 11 p.m., she has to change the resort uniform to her casual wears. our manager there at that time is so cool and she just shook her head when we tell her what happen. as soon as her shift was over, she when to the room for a wash again. according to her, the shower she had after all the surprice present thingy was not enough to wash away the smell.
after she finished bathing, me, abang zul, abang jalil(worked at the front office department with me and seed) and abang boy(kichen department) , were planning on another surprise present. we when to the kitchen and sneak 5 eggs and 2 packets of flour. as abang zul distracted her, we all throw the junks on top of her spiky hair. and we all were running like hell. i could remember a bunch of rotten grapes in the scene but i can't remember which part in came in.
then, i met my abang. his name is Faezal. actually, he is just the substitute maintenance. our maintenance got some problem with the police. i don't have to tell you why. it is sort of our resort secret. abang faezal works in JB. he's the maintenance at PSB Decoration. PSB Decoration is also one of my tok su business. he's a very successful business man. since we don't have any maintenance there anymore, my tok su ask abang faezal to work at the resort. the resort is located at Kota Tinggi, Johor. and PSB Decoration is located at JB, Johor.
at JB, they didn't used walkie talkie. but at the resort, we used them every weekend which is the pit day. abang faezal didn't know how to used it. it was so funny on the first day he learned how to used it.
usually it will be like this:
A: maintenance, masuk maintenance.
B: teruskan.
but abang feazal said:
Front Office: maintenance, masuk maintenance.
Abang Faezal: HA MASUK, MASUK LAH.
it was hilarious. he however buat muke selambe. then there is one time that he has to selok jamban cause water flows. here, i record the conversation:
House Keeping: Maintenance, masuk maintenance.
Maintenance: ha, masuk lah. masuk.
H/K: bilik 206 over flow. saya ulang, 206 over flow.
Maint.: ergh, ada ikan tak? ada ikan tak?
H/K: tak ada ikan. air bersih, cuma dia tak nak sedut ke bawah bile pump.
Maint.: make sure tak ada ikan eyh.
Front Office a.k.a. ME: ada ikan pun apa salah. itu kan souvenir kerja kat sini. anggap macam intan je.
Maint.: yela, sayang oi. intan pun intan lah. nasib nasib.
ME: selamat menyelok.
then, there was a farewell party. the workers been planning it the whole month. on that day, seed paying her revange at me. seed, abang zul and abang din(works in kitchen department) carry me all the way to 'tasik' which was at that time is greener as ever. when i was in there, i pulled seed into the pool with me. so there we were, being a mermaid for a second.
as i thought the prank was over. seed, kak azura(H/K department) and daus(H/K department) took a bottle of colouring and a packet of flour and pour them on me. and the we were again, running all around the resort. i took a handful of cake and mashed it on her face. she took a banana to mashed it on my face. we were struggling on the floor. then i try to grab anything that is liquid and all i can see and reach is chilli sauce. good enough. i used the sauce to rub it all over her face. she took the sause from my hand and we massage each other's face with chilli sauce, cake, and mashed banana. it felt good on your face though except for the chilli sauce in our eyes. it was painful. trust me.
those days were the day i would remember for the rest of my life.
when it was 31 December 2008. we all say good bye. and i was crying for 2 days and 1 night. then, i start to work at PSB Decoration with abang faezal. abang faezal is the operation worker, i worked as an admin's assistant. but sometimes i worked with the opeation guys.
at PSB i get to know new friends. there's kak intan, kak maya, kak hazian, abang jay jay, wak, ah teik, mas yudi and nepals(buntak and kelibang)(nama panggilan aja tu).
abang jay jay is also one of my favourite abang in JB. wak is also a cool man. kak intan and kak maya once ask wak whether he wants a daughter-in-law as crazy as i am. and wak replaid, 'da kalau jodoh nak buat macam mana'
i sniggered. but then he continued, 'walaupun peragai macam orang tak siuman'.
tak guna betul, terus hilang senyum kambing aku. but those days was fun.
*sigh* those days.
