Upon reaching M Hotel...
Took out my mobile,dial for no-other then my buddy...Wendy.
"Hello? Buddy? Which floor are you at?"
"I'm at 38th floor...The bar..."
"Okie...wait for me ,I be coming up now."
As soon as I end the conversations with her,I reached for the lift.
The buttons on the lift with the highest floor was only up to 29.
I walked out of the lift,wondering where to find another lift to take me up to floor 38.
I took no second thought and approached a staff there.
"Excuse me,could you kindly tell me where do I take the lift up to the 38th floor?"
*Giving me a blurr look.*
"Mdm,you were saying 38th floor?"
I Nodded ...
"But Mdm,The lift is only up till 29th ."
"I know...Thats why I am asking if you could direct me to another lift where I could take to the 38th floor ,where the bar is located."
"The bar is located on the 9th floor.There isn't any 38th floor.This building was builted only up to the 29th floor. There's more floors after that.It's the roof already."
My eyes roamed looking at his name tag...As I wondered if he was new?
But with no luck...
"My friend had arrived and are waiting for me on the 38th floor already."
I quickly gave a call to Wendy.
"Buddy?Are you at floor 38th?Or 28th?"
"I am at floor 38th."
"You sure?And you are at M hotel?"
"Yes...It's M hotel."
The staff interrupted.
"Mdm,could I speak to your friend?"
*Passing the Phone to him*
"Hi,you are at which floor again?"
"At 38th floor."
"Which hotel are you at ?"
"M hotel.I am at the bar,'The top of the M.'"
"Where's the hotel located ?"
"Next to taka..."
*Giving me back the phone*
"Your friend is at other hotel.Meritus Mandarin Hotel."
*Shocked*
Apparently...
M hotel was located at Raffles place.
And Mandarin hotel at Orchard.
Wendy started asking her friend to comfirm on the hotel name.
"I'm at Mandarin hotel in the bar call 'Top of the M.'"
My face blushed.
*I felt like digging a hole and put my whole head in it.*
"Errmm...So sorry to trouble you."
"It's ok."
I quickly dashed to the door...looking only straight ahead.
I called Aaron,as he was on his way to the Hotel ,( I was suppose to meet him there.)
As I waited ,I could swear...not one but two staffs standing there ,looking through the glass doors,looking at me!!!
I was embarrassed.
Aaron came shorty after.
"Wa heng ah...I not there yet."
Aaron making fun of me.
The taxi driver who heard what I told Aaron...
Mocks at me.
Upon reaching,
Wendy apologized.
She didn't know that there's a M hotel .
As M -(short term.)Mandarin .
Moreover the bar was called 'Top of the M.'
What can I say?
It's all a misunderstanding...
Siging off,
The imaginary 38th floor,
