Day Six

Perhaps i never mention before that my guests, consist of 6 families. one of them dont have any children. they re  alternately late. its kinda annoying. like PT family always late all the time, S sometimes, SS and LW never, SW once, and SP sometimes. so, i decide to being bold and assertive to them. I told them yesterday, that we'll going to Macau this morning by ferry, and this is really important. because once you late, you must to go by ypurself to the port, and you must spend your own expense, because the ticket ferry re paid already by Panorama, so its their own choice and risk. i told them and being so strict to them, because they always late even i told them many times not to late. like yesterday, for example.. we late almost for half an hour. its crazy! they re quite disappoint me. but luckily, yesterday we dont have to rush anything. so we could still enjoy the tour. i told them 6.30 am we must gathered at the lobby, we re wait til 6.45. If on 6.45 there re still guests who not comingm, we must still go to the port. and unecpectedly, this early morning on 7.30 i already find almost all of them re gathered at the lobby. how great!

so, we re going by now to the port. i paid for their baggage, Ashiu help me and give me the ferry ticket and everything taht we need, then after we check in the baggage, we re going inside the port and queued to enter the ship. the ship is convenient, i admit. i meet suvi and robinson there. we talk much then soon after that we arrived. i and suvi were wait for our guests then their baggage, after that we re going to Temple of Ama. and the queue was unbeliavable. i mean, its like around 40 buses queue to enter the temple. its crazy, so the local guide.. she's fungky and energetic even she's quite old already, she took us to the shops. the souvenir shops and the snacks shop where you could buy vitamins, dried porks and seaweed crunch snacks. many of them bought that, including me. :P

then, we re having lunch at the locl restaurant, its portuguese restaurant, they serve their own special recipes, quite yummy. for sure, the TL's dish arent like that. :(

but well, thats fine. i could still try this and that. 2 items re enough. ;)

then, we re going to City of Dream, watch the dragon Treasure Show. Interesting. but boring. The SS family said that first time they watch the show was quite surprising, becausen they didnt expect that they will stand for 45 minutes,. The SS family looks nice and friendly. sometimes they offer me to eat together with them, just like the SP family. but the different is im not really sure that they really want me to sit and eat with them.

also, they loveee to complain.

they complain about Shenzhen, the local guide, the photography, about the tour. they said its boring etc and its quite weird because they hv been hongkong many times, and if this destination doesnt attract them, why they visit here so often? ist that strange? and she also said that Shenzhen people and the city is disgusting. no comment.

but because they love to complain, im affraid that they also complain about me, even they seems nice to me. and also, Mrs told me about her pregnancy and how she lose her baby and it makes her and her husband feel bad about it and grieved. its pity that they lose the baby. :(

well, after we watch.. we re check in to venetian. venetian is a huge hotel ever, it consist thousand of rooms, gambling place, gondola and mall. so, no wonder if theres some people who get lost.

i saw how big the lane with the magestic, fancy and classic design and decoration. also the chrystal lamp everywhere. i love the design. i love classic things :P

so, after we brief the guests where the elevator, the malls, gondola, foodcourt etc.. i can go to my room, take rest for a while.. then going around with Suvi and other TLs.

i open my room and TADAAAAAAAA.. i found the most beautiful prodigious room that i ever seen and stay. its huge, really. and its classic!! love it! :D even they have 2 phone, one of them re beside the bed, and its wireless so you can talk without worry about the cable. :P

i look my bed, queen size great with beautiful curtain, with the lace. i call it" renda", but Iv call it "rumbai". he cant differentiate between renda and rumbai :P

theres a tv flat inside the cupboard, and also theres a living room too with the sofas, cupboard, another tv, amenities, tea appliance, and theres also dining table with 2 chairs, and also the work table with the chair. awesome. the room is just too huge for myself alone. :( it will be greater if i can enjoy it with my fam, or my cousin, or my besties, or my iv.

well, wait for the bathroom.

its fabulous! i bet you will love it, because im fell in love with the dressing room. its more suit call "dressing room" instead of "bathroom" right? ;)

well, all re white and gold. you can see mirror everywhere. the design is just excellent for me, theres re 2 ellegant sink with the amenities, bath tub, shower room, dressing table with the cair and one room "toilet" and theres telephone hanging on the wall. great!

so, i enhjoy the room for a while, then i take a look the ticket, the ferry ticket, do what i have to do, then soon after that my guest call me and invite me to join them hang out together, but i deny it because i already hv appointment with other TL. so, i call suvi and we re walk around, watch people gambling, window shopping then eat at the foodcourt. :) i met my guests there, after that we re going to the wifi place, so i can contact my office to do something that involve the ferry thing, my local guide stupidity and my guest. after all done, i back to my room and take a rest. :)

Day Five

What we do today?  Firstly, we re going to the Window of The world where we we could see the miniature from all around the world. i seen this before at Beijing. but dont get wrong, because these miniature not look that small. actually it looks quite big, and some of them re huge, for example "The Niagara Falls", and looks quite real. i also like the vatican at beijing. But in Shenzhen, yeah almost the same, more or less. there re some re small, but not that small, the height is just like the same as mine. but the architecture is great. so, arrived there we re going around using mono rail. i have the same coach with Witi and her mom. nice. :) she looks a bit afraid, because its like rocking right and left and unstable. lols.

but yeah, i quite enjoy the ride, the view and the conversation. i love talking with them, they re super nice, real and friendly. after that, we get out and takinga short way tour to look around and taking pictures, im with 'axshiu' the motherly local guide and The S Family. there re some of them rent a small ride to enjoy the park. we taking pictures here and there, or i took picts of them, i revised. and 12 pm we already gathered to eat lunch, the lunch is yummy at a fancy restaurant, but my dish with driver and the local guide re... you know. there re fishes, fish soup with the small and thin bones everywhere. really troublesome. but its easy to me to eat, because i eat everything and im not picky. some people say that im greedy, some people say that im a good girl. :P

like usual, isaac always wanna sit with me. he always like that til his mom and dad get angry of him. we taking picts together and after i persuade him to eat, finally he eat with his family and i can eat with the others. its quite funny that the waiter and manager there asking my QQ, but i dont have any, so i just give my facebook name, but i bet they dont have too.

well, after that we re going to shops. the jade, and medicine shop. at jade, there re none of my guests who bought any jade, but they bought the lychee tea. i love lychee tea too, maybe because i love lychee. ;)

yeah, and isaac always holding my hands and dont want loosen, even just for minutes.

after that, we re going to the medicine shop. there re some who bought the medicine and while they re having consultation and look around the silk, i look the snacks there and bought many of wang wang for me, ivan and my coworkers. ivan and me hv the same taste for snacks. almost all of them. :) 

i also recommend the snacks with other guests, and also with the PT family, :) they seems nice and their kids re closer with me, and also MRS PT asked me to took pict together before. :) after we back, we re going to the Splendid of China just for the shows. before that, many of thems by the corns, sausage and any of snacks. then, we look the show together. i sit at the back, with other tour leaders. i meet other tour leader from other travel agencies. we look the dance, acrobat just like any other china show, then we re having dinner together. isaac, again..always holding my hand and he dont want to go with his parent to the restaurant. he wanna stay with me at downstairs. i stay at downstair because im waiting other guests. i meet suvi, introduce isaac to her, hv a short conversation then we re going to the rest. we hv dinner then actually we will going to another show, but all of them agreed to not attend the show. they dont have any interest. so we back to hotel after that.

thats great. im tired. but ashiu is a bit disappointed and actually i feel that its quite pity that they dont look the show, they paid already. :( but most of them re watch the show already.

time to take a rest then :)

Day Four

because we have much time til we picked up by the bus to shenzhen, so i decide to ask the other guests to come with me go to Tung Chung, which is near with the hotel. The S, Sp and SW's children re coming. the others stay. so, we had breakfast at 8.00. the breakfast was great, ven its amazing and abundant. i love disneyhollywood's breakfast.its more diverse than in l'Nina. even, i already feel L'Nina is great already. but for the view and environment, L'nina is better. so we have much dishes to eat here. we could find indian foods, cakes, desserts like mickey mouse waffles which taste so yummy (love it) you can put the toppings as well. there re many toppings, like cinnamon, melt chocolate, stawberries or blueberry jam. and many kinds of breads, pancake, and croissant. they also provide dim sum which taste incredible, then sausage etc. you must love the breakfast here. :D after i finished, i decide to wait my guests at lobby, but before that i visit the shop there and bought some souvenirs for myself, for my dad and ivant. i bought the cute tiger key hanger. ouch, so cute. and i help Lha to choose ribbon for her, but she still hesitate wanna buy it or not because perhaps she can't wear that at indonesia. :)
after that, we re going to Tung Chung by MTR. firstly we bought the MTR card from the machine, must using the coins. max 4 coins, can't more than that. after that, we re going to Tung Chung. after we arrived i tell them to meet infront of Adidas on 12.00 pm, then i accompanied by S fam, except her son because her son start to adore SP's daughter :p and follow them. so we look Giordano etc,  we went to Body Shop i bought perfume.theres big promotion. buy one get two!! hehe. :)
after we walked around, ivant called me just for a moment, so happy could hear his voice. Totally miss him.
then, we wait other guests at 12.00, then we back to the hotel on 12.20 and we arrived on 12.50. fiuh :) our baggage already at the lobby, i checked out already so thats fine.
then, i just have to wait Bruce pick us up to Shenzhen. it just take 1 hour to go there.

After 1 hour, we arrived then bruce help me to arrange the people to take the visa on arrival. after that, i met our local guide. she's so nice and her indonesian language is also fab! xD

so, after all the guests are gathered i tell them that we re going to the hotel.

he just like a possessive boyfriend :P
i inform to the guests that on 6 pm we will going to the restaurant nearby to have dinner and we will going to Lowu shopping market.

the lunch is quite fine, i helped them til all the dishes re provided and help their request..
the SS's family and the nice lady from one of the nicest family ask me to join them, but i refused. company not allowed me to join guests to eat together.
i had dinner with our local guide. a simple one. lols.
then, after that we re going to lowu. theres nothing much to see actually. the ss and the s family seems uninterest with things that they sell there. haha.

I bought the simcard also. unicom.

then, i wait for the guests on 9.00 pm til 9.30 but theres no one coming, so we decide back to the hote. (previously, i told them if they want go back together,  we waited at 1st floor on 9.00 pm). well, back to the creepy hotel( i dont like the hotel ) i took a bath and wait Iv call me. we call til we sleep.
this is the first time i called with him til asleep. lols. so cute and funny. ;)

Day Three

well, today..just like yesterday, always theres family who didnt come on time.there's 2 families who late. The LW family still eat relaxely, even its already 8.20am. we have to meet at the lobby on 8.30 am. so i just told them to make it fast, then the PT family. they even late for 10 minutes then they recently wanna eat breakfast/. Oh Gosh! I dont think they have watches or clock in their room. Mr L insist that their children have to eat. well, i know that their children have to eat, but i have to be wise and firm, so i suggest him to buy bread at the hotel cafe because we dont have much time to wait for them, it isnt an excuse. i told him, that his family isnt the only one who have kids, the other 4 families too. he understand then buy the breads, great.
so, after 15 minutes later i and bruce took all the guests to the disneyland hollywood hotel, just 20 minutes from L'Nina. The SW family , their children re with us. the others going to hospital, then after they knew the result they will inform me as well, and catch up to disneyhollywood.
after we arrived at disney hollywood, we just put our baggage, i tell the concierge to keep it and after we check in on 5 pm, they will send our luggage to our room. well, thats great and comfortable.
then i go to the receptionist to take breakfast voucher, disney ticket. i distribute all the tickets and voucher to them, i teach them about the shuttle bus so later they could back to the hotel by themselves. because we re definitely will separate. today was so freezing.
i told them to meet me at 5 pm to take the room card.

so, we re going to disneyland which small but great.
The S family follow me as usual, the other just go by themselves. theres nothing much that we could ride, just several, and the best from it is Grizzly Bear, i love that ride.
and yeah, theres "Golden Micky" show which great, kids love it.
we had lunch together. Mrs S bought me a cheese mayo hotdog. super yummy and we look like just like one little happy family. me with my sisters and brother. and pretty mother. lols.

she also bought us yoghurts.... aaaaa..how lovely she is.
nice nice nice!!! :D
love her :)
anyway, actually today i wasnt that enjoy like i shown. i kinda very very busy to manage my guests and the agent, i keep messaging and call the agent for my guests's tickets. they have to back jakarta as soon as possible, because the worst thing that they expect is happen. and the guests also keep calling me every 20 minutes. so, finally at 3 we re deal that we get the flight for tomorrow morning.
yay! The agent will send their people to our hotel to meet SW family, give the ticket and collect the money.

5 more or less, i back to the hotel.
there re already 2 families who waiting and they check in already. i helped them to check in before,
and after i checked in..i just wait for other guests come and give the keys. also i inform them that we must gathered at the lobby on 09.00 pm because we wanna go to the sky 100 deck to celebrate new year together.

after that, i back to my room. all is mickey mouse. cute! but much smaller than L'Nina. i love L'Nina much much more. i share my room with Nova.

Day two

So, today we will going to Avenue of stars where we could see the signature by the actor/actress themselves, and after that we will going to the stores, then finally we will visit the victoria peak and madamme tussaud inside it. i never been to madamme tussaud before, so its kinda excited for me too.
the breakfast at L'nina is quite great, and the interior design is awesome, i love it. even we could see the christmas decoration at the enterance.
well, i have a fast breakfast..then i met my coworker who will be my roomate later.
second day wasnt going smoothly.
soon after breakfast we have to wait for 1 family. the nicest one. i can't contact Mrs S, and its a bit frustate me. 15 minutes after that, she came down and bring her aunty as well and dont forget to brought the jackets, sweaters, and she gave me one, because she knew that i didnt brought the coat. oh, sweet of her. :D

well, firstly we re going to avenue of stars. we met our photographer, i forgot his name. *sorry.
he's one of the nicest person that i ever met and helpful. we talk with mandarin, thats great. so i can improve my mandarin. :P
well, the guests look so much fun. they re taking pictures etc, while i was watching them and walk around with the S's children. 3 of them, and take pictures with them too.

After that, we re going to the jewel's shop.
there re not much person interest with the jewel, only some did.
then, we're going to the chocolate factory. conversely, all of them looks excited and they bought much chocolate. that shop have many kind of chocolate, and there re many taste as well.some of the guests like durian, but i like another. there re also banana. i bought the plain one, and bought tiramisu for Iv, and Mrs S bought me a big almond chocolate which expensive and delicious. look! how generous she is.
i try to refuse it, but she said i must accept it. even, she told me that her children like me so much. she said that im not just nice, friendly and helpful..but also cute and pretty. :D whoaaa, how a sweet compliment. isn't it? ;)

after that, we re having lunch at the chinese restaurant.
great environment, great food. everyone looks like the foods. and me? i ate withthe local guide and driver.
the foods were.... i never said foods re horrible, but i could say that the quantity were just too small.
like 5 pieces of cabbage, for example. and thats true.

well, after we had lunch..we're going to the victoria peak.
there re many people queued there, and its quite dizzy. we're going upstairs, but before we re going to the madamme tussaud. most all of them wanna join, so we enter it. look around and they take pictures with the candle actors. :p quite nice.

then, 1 hour later i done, do i met mr willy at a restaurant, had conversation for tomorrow etc,
while we ait other guests coming, i accompany mrs s bought a sausage and new york fries. there re many types of fries, and i all in love with the cheese one. its look yummy. she bought for her daughters and she offer me some, but i didnt want to. she just too nice, and its not good if guests bought us some food. so its better that i refuse it. :p

after all of them re gathered, we re going to had dinner and then back to hotel.
i offered to accompany them to Mongkok (ladies market) soon after we arrived at the hotel. but, unfortunately one of the family, one of the SW family had an accident soon after she get our from the bus.
she think that her leg is broke, so we asked the wheelchair then i accompany them to their room.
i helped them as much as i could, talk to them, comfort the lady, tell her it would be fine, had conversation eith her son and daughter-in-law, talk about the hospital, insurance, doctor and what we supposed to do.
i talked to them quite long til i realized that there re some guests who already waiting for me at the lobby and makes me felt unwell.

so, after i helped them i go to the downstair and unexpectedly, theres only 1 family who wait for me. others canceled, bcause they feel too tired and another felt that its too cold. but then that SP family whos is one of the nicest family, canceled it too. and they totally understand my condition. how good they are, even they invite me to had dinner with them. i ate local food with them. tasty and nice. i like this family very much. all of them re lovely.

after we had dinner, i went to the medicine's store to bought the medicine for the lady. her daughter in law and her grand-daughter message me before.
finally i found it. and today is sooo freezing. lucky me, i wear 2 pieces of super thick sweater.
after we arrived at the hotel, actually the mall(citywalk and L'Nina is just one building), which really convenience. i gave the medicine to them, and talk about tomorrow's plan.
after that i decide to had bath, had message with Iv, which always makes me better then go to sleep. :)

HZM-07 1229/ GA-VD

Day One

First day, feel anxious, nervous, excited, wish that i have wonderful participants.
i really wish for that. but after i meet the families, my worry and anxious re gone. perhaps its because my family, besties, my boyfriend, and my prayer. :)
i would brought 5 families.
Family one (LS):
consist of husband and wife, and 4 children. all boys. 18, 14, 12 and 5. they re energetic, strict and sophisticated. they re nice, and looks like a perfect couple. mrs vi is incredibly pretty and totally fashionista. the kids re quite fine actually, the oldest and the second re quiet, but the oldest seems dont like to blend with other participants, he also dont like to smile. the third and the youngest re my fav! the third, just called him "marc" he's love to smile and lovable, and "ivander" who is naughty but also adorable. he dont like being touched with people and prefer playing with his brothers.

Family two (SS);
Consist of just husband and wife. they looked nice and friendly.

Family three (SW):
Consist of parent, 2 young adult (their children) and their grandmother. they also seems nice and friendly. the grandma is really nice and kind, and her daughter in law is also really nice and also, a fashionista.


Family Four ( S):
Consist of one mother and her 3 amazing children. 2 girls and 1 boy. the oldest one is boy (13) and the girls (11 and 8). i love them even at first time i met them. they look so so nice. the children re lovely and their mother is having a natural beauty, inside and out. soon, i become close to them.

Family Five (PT):
Consist of parent and their 3 children. all boys.(11, 6 and 4) the parent re okay, but they just seems a bit ignorance and not quite friendly, but it doesnt mean they re not nice right? first impression is important, but it we couldnt see their personality just by 1 day.

Family Six (SP):
Consist of the parent, their 2 children. adult (27 and 24) male and female, and his son's fiancee. a thailand residence, who is totally nice and pretty. i also love this family. the  parent re just so amazing and nice, and their children as well.

its quite natural that there re some fright that we have when we have to brought the tour, especially when we first time bring the tour. you scared that it will turn out miserable or they just dont like you etc.
but yeah, i can be relieved that it turn out smoothly.
i mean, when i greet the guests there, then we be acquainted each other, then 'the airport handling' really helpful. they help me as they can.

i briefed them things that i supposed to tell, then after that i told them to meet up at the boarding gate a half hour before we enter the plane. so, all works. :)
i sit alone at the plane, which nice and great because it would be incovenience if we have to sit with the guests.

Soon after we arrived, i walked first and wait them outside, after that i accompany them to the immigration. Previously, i permit them went to the toilet first.
FYI, beside shopping..toilet is one of the most important thing for indonesian. they will seek toilet everywhere we go, so i as a tour leader must know where's the toilet is. :P

well, the immigration queue was so long, buat later after that i wait outside the immigration to tell them wheres the conveyor belt etc. but, because not all of my guests weren't came out at the same exit, so there some family that i missed to tell where the conveyor belt is, but i thought yeah it would be fine. because they can check by themshelves.
then, after ifound them i told them to meet up at exit B, but again there re some family re went outside already before i told them where the meeting point is.
when i go outside with my guests, well.. its huge, there re exit A and B, and its hard to find my guests.

its quite long to find them actually. but 20 minutes later i akready wait at the exit B with my local guide's assistant name Bruce. his english is great, no wonder. he lived in usa for more than 10 years. lols.
well, there re some families who complain because took time so long for waiting.
well, i tried to call PT fam. every families gathered already, except them. i called them many times, but theres no respond. i start anxious and i told the other families to wait and i going round by myself to seek them. soon after that, there is one of my guest called me that they hv been waiting at the other side, and there is another problem. that family lost one of their baggage. Mr P dunno what to do, he said his english not very good, and he cant speak chinese, he already told the Lost and Found staff but they didnt allow him to come in and see the baggage. well, i have to make decision. because i looked some families re murmuring and moaning. so i ask bruce to ask my guests to the hotel and help them to check in. there will be willy (the local guide) who will help them to divide the room for them etc. and i will be here help Mr P found his baggage.
i went to the 6th floor and i realize that im lucky that i studied chinese already. so i talked to him and i said that i must found the baggage as soon as possible, because we're travel group and im the tour leader. i couldnt took long time and let them waiting me at the hotel. he asked me wait for 1 hour at the maximum, but i insist i cant took that long. so after 10 minutes of conversation, they asked his coworker to help my guest enter to the baggaga claim, and soon after that he found out and he really thankful for that. im glad that i could helped him :)

we used the taxi to go to the hotel. our hotel at Hongkong is L'Nina hotel.
its really big, consist thousand of room and its one of the biggest and newest hotel in hongkong.
i agreed that the taxi argo in hongkong is quite expensive. we spent 250 HKD from airport to the hotel. i and Mr P re having quite great conversation. we talked about travelling most of the time, he said the taxi argo at Johannes's burg was ridiculous. they spent like almost 1 million idr for that, we also talked about hongkong etc. he already went here for several times. i wonder why he like to visit hongkong many times.

after we arrived, i get amused with the hotel. the parking is so huge, and also the lobby as well. the lobby is fancy, huge and nice, but too much people.
after i come in, my guests still waiting at the lobby. so i seek mr willy to help him divide the rooming list etc. 10 minutes later we done and i tell my guests for tomorrow, the morning call, the breakfast time, when we have to depart from the hotel. the LS family told me that they dont want join the tour for daytwo and because of that, they also dont want to give me any tip. actually, company will not allow something like that. client have to pay the tip no matter if they didnt join the tour. but i didnt care of the tipping, im tired and i dont want to have the debate because of the money, so i just said okay for that.

then, after that i went to the room..the room was amazing, i love this room. the LCD, the view. theres no window, it just glass. and the view is so wonderful, i can look the harbour and boat everywhere, also the lights and buildings, its romantic too. i hope that i could enjoy the view with my ivantius. i wish he were here.
and the bathroom is also nice. :) so, after i put my belongings, i meet up with mr willy. he's totally nice, he gave me the MTR direction etc, and he treat me as well at citywalk. today is so freezing, and its really great that i can stand it. i just wear jacket, but it doesnt enough its too cold, moreover its rain and windy. whoaaaa..
i met  the S Fam, who is the nicest fam among all. she insist me to had diner together, even i told them i had already.so i just accompany them. i also bought the simcard too. i was so excited that i could contact Iv. miss him.

well, soon after that we back to the hotel. :)
