It's not so paradise after all

Now all my sleepiness or drowsiness earlier today have all gone after one phone call.

Nina just called me and told me everything about what happened. Apparently, the Borneo Paradise (that's where we plan to do our reunion) had just experience change of management. In short, all our previous quotation/inquiry//budget/booking...etc..etc...is not valid anymore...

I was speechless for awhile when Nina told me about this. We have planned about this reunion for like half a year earlier already...dari tahun lepas cadang then volunteer la mau urus start kira2 awal tahun ini...Maybe there's a bit of mistake from our part because we never set a Plan B but still if that place have any respect & value for their customer, they would take all necessary action required. Was it our fault that the management decide to change hands? huh...

Yang bikin panas dia, it was like we never even do any deals with them...setengah tahun sda bincang psl tu tarikh sm durang then tiba2 cakap tu tarikh mcm nda available sda..ada kunun rombongan lain book..Hello? Around June this year the rooms was still very much available..knp la skg penuh..

mm..so we decided to find another alternative place for about only a month left now and if we can get it then it would be great but if we can not get it then terpaksa la stick sja sm ni tempat skg dan bayar lebih...tu pun kalau ada bilik available lagi...dogGONE btl!!

be positive girl....everything can still be settled in time..

p/s If by some miracle we manage to find some place else better for the reunion venue, I'll make sure the Borneo Paradise boss & management get some bloody complaint letter from me. You wait. Because no matter what, "customer always right". And it's goddamn true that we are right in this one.

well, maybe half right. but they still going to get that complaint letter from me.

halo babe..utk aktiviti reunion pula ka..hm..borneo paradise tu beach resort kan,so i just list out some beach resorts yg maybe sesuai la (sebab ko inda kasi sy specs dia ba bebeh..)

1. beringgis beach resort,sana papar jg tu. tu borneo un-paradise pun sana papar tu kan? hm..dulu tmpt sy praktikal buat family day disana beringgis ba,happening la jg. bilik sana pun sungguh selesa,tmpt makan pun best. worth the price.

2.langkah syabas beach resort,n seaside traveller's inn,both in papar jg. accomodation-wise,langkah syabas lagi ok n mahal sikit compare to seaside. The scenery of both place not so cantik as in beringgis la,biarpun dorang share the same pantai. lols.

3. tambunan village resort center,tp ni bukan dkt pantai ni,sy tau.haha. Sana macam best and byk aktiviti bole buat,as per what i've seen in the website la. sy lama sd mau pg sana but teda chance..huhu

4. tuaran beach resort.hmm..sana jalan pg pantai dalit.sy tau ni tempat pun sebab most comp bikin kursus sana.x pernah stay sana but penah pegi pantai dia seja la.

4 ni sj dalam kepala sy skg claire. too lil info ba bebeh..hehe..sy assume kamurang mau bikin dkt beach resort seja.
