finally

awesome. my room got complimentary broadband internet facilities. it was stated complimentary, so i'm assuming it's free. harap janganlah ada charges dalam bil nanti. tak rugi bawak captain future.

so how was my journey today? okaylah. cuma masa atas flight tadi, the orange juice tumpah on my brand-new coach handbag! first-time pakai. yang bagusnya... barang elok, so tak serap air and laju je mengalir on my jeans. habis basah! nasib baik black jeans.

sampai penang at around 3pm. hee... sapelah consultant yang pasang carpet kat airport ni?? tak de taste langsung! dari dulu lagi i dah perasan... belum tukar-tukar. nak pakai carpet, no problem. tapi pilihlah yang pastel color. orang baru turun kapal terbang terus nampak carpet yang bercorak serabut tu.... pening tau! international airport... kena buat facelift!

menyesal lak tak gi duduk G-hotel yang mahal tu. rupanye gurney hotel ni jauh gak dari G-hotel, jalan kaki 20 minit, kalau drive 5 minit. rasanya... sorang2 ni, eloklah i ambik taxi ke sana. my room is a studio suite. so, the room is quite big, besar sikit dari 500sq feet. facilities cukup. got in-room iron and ironing board, ada hairdryer, small dining table, broadband facilities. a separate shower cube and a bath tub. kalau bawak family... puas hatilah.

ada 2 spa kat hotel ni. ada promotion, a good one. hmm... dah buat appointment pun (hubbyby kata "boleh!"), quite cheap - for 4 spa treatment cuma RM125 (discount about RM100). cheaper as compared to awana, primula and dermalogica, and cheaper than korat's dusit princess. my appointment is on wednesday, lepas habis workshop.

mulanya ingat nak keluar gi cari makan sambil shopping, but since tempatnya jauh untuk walking distance, tak jadi keluar. order room service... tak sedap! esok kena makan kenyang2 kat G-hotel before balik bilik. another reason for not going out... kalau boleh nak avoid crowded places seboleh mungkin. 5 confirmed swine flu cases dari pharmacists' conference tu memang merisaukan sikitlah.

tv tak menarik. i tak faham kenapa hotel ni pilih cinemax and not star movies or HBO. cinemax tu banyak cerita lama2, yang zaman black and white pun ada. vision 4 pun tak de movie yang bagus. other alternatives... discovery, espn, disney, tv3 and tv7. yang lain semua cakap cina and jepun.

but i have "a painted house", by john grisham. i ni memang setia pada 3 authors ni.. grisham, archer and kinsella. ada rasa nak cuba other writers tapi tak de chemistry ngan kita. cecelia ahern tu dah berzaman i baca... belum habis! rasanya lepas ni nak cuba writers from iran or middle east pula, cerita depa banyak pasal real life and survival. i would try "the kite runner" first, pinjam kak ni punyer.

tengok gak buku melayu, konon nak support penulis kita... tapi i tengok semua tajuk ada tulis "cinta". hee... org melayu ni lemah betulla.. tak de topik lain ke? patutlah asyik ketinggalan! asyik berangan dan suka diulit mimpi. romance novels tu semuanya mengarut... khayalan semata!

mmm... best pulak tak kerja ni. yeay! enjoy it, nit!
