Mark quizzed me up on what the worst thing happen while working at Walai?
To be real honest: NONE. Despite all the stress, I enjoy working there. Every day is like a new adventure.
"Baru-baru ini saya dgr ada histeria tempat kamu...",
Mark's comment caught me unguarded. It snapped me out of my revery. Seriously, that one never crossed my mind before.
"Cuba kamu cerita..."
I was Manager On Duty that night. About 30 minutes, prior to that incident, I received a report that snake was found in the room shared by five girls. By the time I arrived at the counter, most of what happen has already been handled by the night staff.
Although the snake was caught and disposed, for precaution, the girls were moved to another room. But the worst wasn't over yet.
While I updated the gist of what happen for my report, suddenly we heard people screaming and shouting. Led by the security staff, we went straight to the source of commotion.
We first met by the the girls sprinting out from the room that we just moved them in. My count concluded there were four of them. Where's another one?
Oh my god! There she was standing at the door.
"KENAPA KAMU KELUARKAN AKU DARI SINI!?! AKU BUNUH SEMUA BUDAK-BUDAK NI NANTI!"
I was petrified by the girl's word. Imagined how would 230 people camped here for 55 days responded to that? I bet, panic would raised. Those family who concerned for their kids safety would called and the participants would be sent back home.
That would be the end for us, for GEMS.
Seriously, I haven't got any idea how to handle the matter. It never happen before. So when the boss rang me my only strategy was to keep everything under control. Be watchful.
Obviously, we were at lost how the snake entered the room. Weeks earlier on, we called pest control to do a treatment. The treatment entailed snake and rodent programme. The sulphur used to expel the snake still could be seen at the time, even now.
But Walai is a big, open resort. Any creature could have come uninvited. At any point of entry. However this was not in the mind of some people.
Speculations of whether the snake was real or not spread like nothing before, as more hysteria incidents reported. Tension started to grow and our professionalism was tested again and again.
I remembered giving my bestest crooked vile smile at this point.
Ironically, the hysteria suddenly stopped when the news about coalition at Lahad Datu came into attention. We could only guess now why!
Don't get me wrong. But trust me. This experience is only unique to GEMSBPS07E.
