Interesting stuff to share

I know I'm being cared by many people around me and I know. I really know. Thanks alot to those who cared. I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. (^_^)


Beeie says that my post always get too long. Therefore, I'm going to add more line breaks in between so at least it won't get so cluttered. Just changed the size of the fonts for easy reading as well.


I received a few interesting email today which I felt like sharing. One of it is more like a reminder or warning regarding a hotel in Thailand. It was forwarded from my friend's friend. It should be a true story so I would like to share it to the rest just in case it happens to you one day.



Dear friends,

I would like to discourage all from choosing Arnoma Hotel in Bangkok as your choice of accommodation when you visit Bangkok.I had an extremely bad experience a few days ago.

The housekeeping entered my room after me and my family went out for lunch and shopping around 1. 30pm (9th June).We only returned around 1030pm. My husband discovered that some cash was missing.We informed the Duty Manager and requested to see the CCTV footage. The DM said he could only oblige if we can produce a police report. So, we went to the police station to lodge a report.

When we returned from the police station, we demanded to see the CCTV and the log of the key card to our room. The log showed that the housekeeping entered my room at 1.41pm even though the 'DO NOT DISTURB'sign was hung on the door knob. It also showed that the floor manager, the DM and the housekeeping had tried to enter our room 13 times on 10th June, while we were out in the afternoon!!!( Hey, we are paying for security and privacy and these people from the hotel actually entered your room without your presence and permission??? )

Next we demanded to see the CCTV but the DM and the security officer on duty said that the GM took the remote control for the CCTV with him??? He could only show u s the footage the next morning when the GM reports for work. We relented and waited till the next day.

The next morning......We saw the footage on the CCTV. It was clearly stated that we left the room at 1.30pm. After that, the timing on the footage actually skipped to 1.44pm!!!Nothing was recorded between the time after we left the room(1..30pm) to the time that showed the housekeeper entering my room(1.41pm). The footage bewteen this time has been deleted!!

We pressed for an explanation and loads of lies were given by the DM, security officer and chief sec urity officer. 1) DM told us the the CCTV was on motion sensor, so could not capture anything as there was no one along the corridor during that period of time (1.30pm to 1.41pm). 2) Chief security officer said the CCTV was faulty during 1..30pm to 1.41pm..3) Security officer sa! id he saw the footage and was certain no one entered our room. So, who shall I believe?

ANYWAY, they insisted that no one entered our room but could not explain the missing footage and the log report. What crap is this?? We wanted to see the GM and was told that he was not around, in an urgent meeting , in the toilet....etc etc...

No apologies, no solutions and no compensation was offered by the hotel as well. We had to go to the police station 4 times before we could leave the hotel safely(the chief security officer threatened us earlier on) as we refused to pay the room charges unless a satisfactory explanation was given. I believe the hotel staffs, from the housekeeping to the DM were in cahoots. If not, why did they tamper with the security tape just to protect the housekeeper who stole from my room?? I just want my stolen money back and an apology and the hotel staffs have to go such great length to cover up for the housekeeper. When things like this happen, the story-telling competition starts. Each has their own incredible story and boy, they can really lie, even in front of the police!!

The GM is even worse. He must be a disciple of David Copperfield or Pink Panther. No sight of him from 9th june to 11th June. I have seen t he ugliest side of these people from Arnoma Hotel, Bangkok . Can you imagine how many times these people enter your room and rummaged through your luggage while you were out? And how much these people have stolen from us? Why must we give this hotel business when they cannot even protect our property and our interests?

Thanks for reading and this is a true story.

Therefore, from this email, we have to learn our lessons. Better put all the important documents and cash in the safebox before leaving the hotel room. Worst comes to worst, bring the stuff along with us. Last but not least, always buy travel insurance. You might never know what is going to happen next.


Next up, a funny email which I've received from my long lost friend. After reading it, I think that should be the thoughts which are running through the employers' mind all along. Haha...




NEW OFFICE POLICY

Dress Code:
1) You are advised to come to work dressed according to your salary.

2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially and there fore do not need a raise.

3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise.

4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

Sick Days:
We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Personal Days:
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturdays & Sundays.

Bereavement Leave:
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non employees attend the funeral arrangements i n your place. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, t he funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.

Bathroom Breaks:
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls.. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the 'Chronic Offenders' category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sectioned under the company's mental health policy.

Lunch Break:
* Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy.

* Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure.

The Management




Haha. Who will work in such a company? Or maybe the employer only adopts one or two suggestions from this mail? Hmm... Please don't kill me if ever your employer implement any of these! Whaha. Share with me under my comments if your employer is more or less as described above. (^_^)



Before I go to bed, one last thing which I wanted to share. It's a video from Youtube. I felt that Luo Zhi Xiang really can impersonate a person damn well! He has done so many impersonation which I felt he could really catch the actual gist of that particular person. I shall share the rest with you next time. Need to sleep early today as I need to wake up in 6hours time. Enjoy the video!
