In case you called this afternoon and got a busy tone… we were closed for lunch because we decided to went for a swim today. Well, actually, the swimming pool came to us!
The rain god had a big night yesterday and woke up with a massive hangover with a huge load of p***. What seemed a normal beautiful day quickly turned ugly, we were besieged by tsunami of “lokang” (drain) water in our little spa. Not resigning to fate, our calm-minded therapists took the situation into their own hands and build our own sandbag barricade of spa towels (Don’t worry, we sent them for professional cleaning every night). Slowly but surely, we saw our neighbours went down one after another under the rain of bullets. Our sandbags can hold no longer, Ms. Spa Manager wisely call for a retreat. Hell broke loose. Computers, flower pots, painting, customer *pun* all have to move to higher ground.
In midst of the chaos, we did not forget to uphold our service excellence. Ms. Receptionist made her routine reminder call to Mrs. Tan.
Ms. Receptionist: Hello Mrs. Tan, we are calling from Ikeda Spa. Please be reminded that your appointment starts at 3pm.
Mrs. Tan: I know… but I’m stuck at Coronation Plaza… I cannot find my Merz.
Ms. Receptionist: Mrs Tan, did you forget where you park?
Mrs. Tan: No. I remembered clearly I have parked in Basement 1… just that I have forgotten to bring along my diving goggles.
Ms. Receptionist: Don’t worry, Mrs Tan. We can wait. By the way, your Shiatsu appointment has been changed to Watsu therapy. Hope you find your car soon. Thank you.
Business resume as usual tomorrow 20th Nov. We hope
In case you wonder, there is no reported casualty, all our team survived the storm. Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!
