Housekeeping is definitely xhausted. And i hate it when i have to end my work everyday with my sore back. But sometimes i do enjoy the work. Not when i met dirty nasty guests. Definitely when i make tips XP
At times i enjoy observing guests. Like their lifestyle, personality....though i doesn't get to meet all the guests all the time, but i can tell through what time they wake up, did they snore- if i saw any Breath Right strips, whether if they make the beds, how the arrangement of their belongings....then i create stories out of all these people. Oh well, that's some fun i created out of exhaustion.
Last week, i have a couple of guest staying in one of my best cabin. Non of the cabins here are identical. As these ancestor old cabins are taken from different places and place in Colter Bay. This room 212 have the big glass window in front of the room. My fav cabin. I met this English couple from Seattle one morning when they bugged into the room while i was making beds. They greeted me politely. This is why i love people here! We start chatting and they realized that i'm from Malaysia. Surprisingly they know where Malaysia is. In fact one of them share with me how much he loves Malaysia. He stays in Singapore for close to 2 years and been traveling up and down Peninsular Malaysia very often.
Out of sudden,
Him: " Do you know Tanjung Malim?" - i doubt all Malaysians know where it is located.
Me: "Yup, my sis just graduated from a government college nearby that place."
Him: "Ohhh...i spent a night in Tajung Malim police station on 13th May 1969. There was the riot and i was a coward...."
Me : *thinking*........eerrrrrr............that's was like .....HOW MANY YEARS BACK?!!!!
Cute guests encounter. The next day before he leaves, he asked me for a moment. He handed 4 dollar to me and said : "That's the only small changes i have.Put them into your vacation."
Owwwwhhhhh....ok, it's not because he gave me tips. Well, you see i got as much as 20 bucks for a check out room. It was so so so sweet for him to do that. I accept the tips gratefully.
You like him? I do. One of my best guest. And he left a book for me too. Seems like someone have to start reading.
Gone reading,
XOXO
