A Slice Of Life: Ghetto@Zouk:11.05.06

One of the Zouk Ambassadors pissed me off so much when I first got there with a few friends. My girlfriend who had made a reservation couldn't make it on time to redeem for the table. So I got the table on behalf of her since I was there right before the 'supposed redemption time'.

After paying for the bottle and got our stamps, we headed straight to one of the waiters to ask for the table. He then escorted us to the reserved table. FYI, all reserved tables had names of people who well, made the reservations. So the white paper printed in absolute clear 4 letters of my friend's name and it's very, very visible.

Within 10 minutes our bottle and mixers were served. And this young lady nicely came to me and said 'You took my table. This is MY table'. I showed her the name printed on the white paper straightaway and said 'No; it is mine'.

She then turned her direction to the table next to ours.

Minutes later, another lady came to me.

'You took my friend's table'

'Huh? Are you Emma?'

She nodded.

I then politely said 'Maybe there's a mixed-up. I'll check with the waiter, if there's 2 Emmas, I'll take the one at wherever it is located then'.

So I walked straight to the waiter who was stationed in that area and asked him about the matter. He took out his paper and light and was about to search for the apparent mixed-up ...

BAH! That bloody lady snatched the paper away and dragged him to a side and talked for minutes. Of that, I told Tubby I won't give out the table because of her bloody attitude.

After her unsuccessful attempt, she came up to me and apologized saying there was a 'miscommunication'. It turned out she's one of the Zouk Ambasaddors. Lets just name her A. Not long after that, another Zouk Ambassador came up to me (thinking I was my girlfriend) and apologized too saying there was a 'miscommunication'. Their manager had 'changed' our table to the other side and released it to others. For goodness sake, if that's the case the management should have hastily changed the names but they didn't. And I redeemed for the table. End of the story right? Anyways the 2nd Z.Ambassador at the least made the effort to explain the matter. It was all cool...

Until...

That bloody A approached me again within the next 15minutes asking me to COMPROMISE a bit by exchanging table with her friends (ahem, what's there to compromise?). Apparently, the table next to ours was her friends and as there was quite a number of them, the whole reason was to join the 2tables to accomodate them all. HELL NO la. If she had approached us in a nicer way in the first place, I'd definitely give the table to her but she claimed to be Em and snatched the paper away from the waiter when I wanted to check on the reservation? That's too much.

In addition, I told her I couldn't possibly change as I redeemed the table on behalf of my girlfriend. So whatever it was, I had to wait for her to come and see if she agreed to it or not. She shrugged and left and never come back. She and her friends must have thought I was Em all along cos when girlfriend and the rest reached; they had gotten themselves a table, a few tables away from ours. Heh.

It was a pretty fun night afterall. I was literally wasted. Correction, everyone was literally wasted. Hehe.
