Prego & Qba, Westin Hotel

For Sam, T-Bone and NeverZzz’s birthdays, we went to Prego @ Westin Hotel. The deco was in dark brown.

Sam, Sam’s bf and I reached there, found Dy and T-Bone at the comfy sofas in the Lower Lobby.

T-Bone announced, “Jim is in Sunway QBar!”

“Ha? Why did he go there?,” Sam reacted with surprise. “Jean said Westin ma.”

“Who told him?” I asked.

“Nat,” Sam replied. Oh.

Nat probably told Jim QBar, without “Westin Hotel”.

We all shook our head.

We decided to go to our table first since others hadn’t arrived. So hungry. We ordered some pizzas and red wine. This was a free dinner - 1 of the staff @ QBa had kicked Sam out because she didn’t buy any drink there. Frankly, she thought it was free entrance and no need to buy any drink to dance. So Dy complained to the manager and they got a free meal for 10 person :D

Prego has 2 floors and we sat at the higher floor. Dy asked for 2 more seats since Nat’s bf’s 2 friends were coming. Then, he asked for 2 more seats for Jim and gf!

But both groups didn’t turn up! We had to give more tips to the waiter… for setting up the seats that nobody turn up.

Some of us cajoled Jim to come over after their dinner. Jim was angry that he was given wrong info already..

With so much wine - 2 or 3 bottles - we toasted their birthdays and other things several times! :D Most of us were bright red before the others who were late finished their meal.

Luckily we managed to finish all the food :D The lasagne was soo delicious! Tasty! The salad was a bit dry but it was with olive oil so it was a healthy choice for Nat. The pizzas were so much better than Marco’s Pizza! :D

Everytime someone dropped something with a clang, every staff clapped! We joined the fun. :D

After we had finished our food and the birthday people had blown the candle, Jim & gf appeared! Yeay! :D The cheese cake was small but soft.

Then we chanted to Nat’s bf, “We want to see kiss! KISS! KISS! KISS!!!!”

He puckered his lips and leaned to Nat but Nat pushed him away. Somehow we ended up playing a kissing game. Nat’s bf suggested, “OK, I kiss her (Nat). Then she has to kiss the next person and so on.”

All the girls from my side chanted, “OK ak!” We all laughed. We were sitting next to girls only! :p Sam was sitting between her bf and I.

But the guys kept quiet. Sure they were excited to see our kissing action but once they reached themselves, they turned inward. Hahaha! Surprisingly the brave guys who chanted “KISS!!!” daren’t kiss the guy sitting next to them! So shy!!

Later, we went to Qba for Latin dance. Dy taught some of us and it was fun though repetitive since we didn’t know how to move as freely and passionately as other dancers there. Nat’s bf’s friend, Sneeze kept asking Mich & I to dance with him. I had to push him to 1/2 arm distance - he was getting too close. Pok mung?!

Somehow, Sam was at her unusual mode. Almost silent. Because of her bf had told her to behave in public before? She was mirroring her bf’s quiet personality? Or she didn’t want to dance at Qba because she had been kicked out last time? Paiseh? She’s like a different person when her bf is with us. Like she has turned to be submissive.

Loyalty is overrated

In The Apprentice, Donald Trump always praises the contestants for their loyalty, even to their friends/partners who didn’t perform.

To the Japanese, you work for 1 company for your whole life. Yet this is changing as young generation want to experiment and get better quality out of life.

1 thing that employers always ask in an interview is, “How long do you plan to stay here?”

Loyalty is certainly a virtue. As long as you are sided with the right group or cause. Imagine working for a company for 40 years. If that company treats you real good, that’s great. If not, why are you staying there? Just for blind loyalty?

Some managers deliberately control their staffs so that they couldn’t go for better job functions even within own company. If a company retains bad employees, the company will go down.

It’s like abused women sticking with their men through beatings and slaps. Some of them even defended their abusive husbands, “He has a lot of stress and responsibilities”, “Men are like that”. Soon, they will deny it, “No, I fell down”, “He didn’t hurt me, he treats me real good”.

What good is loyalty from a staff who does not perform well? Do companies like to keep terrible staffs just to have a low turnover?

Some of us fear change, the unknown. If we leave X, we have to start all over again at Y.
