Valentine's - schmalentine's
I had a great v-day...the past two days (13 and 14 Feb) I was sort of playing the role of Eros a.k.a Cupid for some of my guests who at the very last minute realised that its Valentine's Day....Due to the high demand on for just that ONE red day, somehow my hotel's florists ran out of red roses...so, who do you call? Who else but the ever smiling-never-say-no Concierge..As the only nearest late opening florists are all open in China town, I had to dash to and from a couple of times to get dozens of red roses and also greeting cards for the guest to impress their loved ones..and of course for a price! Hehehehe...
Just so happens, that it had to rain really hard on 14 feb, so there I was stuck in the all-famous KL traffic in a car full of red roses (luckily I wasn't allergic to them)..and suddenly my mobile phone rang, the hotel was already calling me saying that one of the hotel guests has been grumbling to the Duty Manager and the Chef Concierge on the delay of his roses delivery...so, since the traffic was not moving, I had to arrange for one of the valet boys to come to me on his scooter, so he could collect the particular bouquet from me and weave through the traffic back to the hotel...so there I was left in a sea of cars and buses, trapped in traffic with 2 more bouquet of roses in my back seat...
What a day....
