That's NOT a joke!

I've just got back from Melaka Bandar Warisan Dunia. :) Well, it felt good, revisiting Bandar Melaka after like ummm 13 years? But it wasn't really a visit. I've got a paper to present in a conference. Tight schedule. Great speakers. Inspired.

So the title of this post actually refers to an incident which happened during my stay there. The second night, our lecturer said that she wanted all of us (her students) to dine out. Her treat. So we agreed. (Who wouldn't?) Before we went out from the car park, I had to pass the parking ticket to the person in-charged. I parked at the basement, so the 'roaring' engines somehow disturbed my hearing.

#P - P*rv**t
#I - Your's truly

P : Boleh beritahu nombor......(I can't hear what he was saying)
I : Sorry, nombor kereta ke?
P : Room number. Nombor bilik.
I : Oh, xxxx. Sorry, saya tak dengar tadi.
P: (He was saying something else, but I heard this) Balik sini balik (semula) ke?
I : (So I answered,) Ha'ah.
P: BUKAN.
I : (And I was like) What? Saya tak berapa dengar lah.
P: NANTI ABANG NAIK BILIK YE?
I : What the hell?????????? (And I quickly drove away)

Talk about verbal sexual harassment. And what kind of lady he thinks I am? My friends and I were totally freaking out. What if he actually meant what he said? For all we know he can get access to our room if he really wants to. And after dinner, we met the manager and lodged a report. The charming handsome cute Manager named Vincent called P and these were what he said -

- Did you say something to a guest? Room xxxx. (We were worried. He shouldn't mention our room number, right?)

- What do you mean by that? Gurau? (P still remembers what he said to us, obviously)

- What kind of place you think you're working at?

- I'll let the management know about this!

And V changed our room keys and thank God nothing happened that night. I don't think that it is appropriate to say something like that to a hotel guest. We asked V to erase our personal info from their record. Hopefully P learns his lesson.
