staying in a hotel can be so much fun

It had been quite some time since i've blog. 1 week to be exact. Several things had happened during the past week. I would expect myself to be squeezing everything out into one post just like always, but since i'm very free while everyone else is watching the world cup i might as well blog..

First thing first, was my hotel stay from last thursday till sunday.

All die heart fans of mine would know the job scope of my vocation. We are lucky or cursed to be involve in the IISS function held in Shangri la hotel. Since its a few days event, to facilitate our employment, we were given a room in the hotel itself to stay. Thats when all the fun starts!

When we first entered the our room, the first thing we passed by was the toilet. And as the saying goes 'to see how good or bad a place is, the first place to look into is the toilet'

It was then i found this just in between the toilet bowl and sink:







Notice there is a tap on top of it but the shape of this doesn't look like a sink. Neither u can flash any shit down for it is not a toilet bowl. (the toilet bowl is just on its left, the shower is on the right while the sink is in front right)

We all started brain storming. My first though was maybe a small bath tub for babies. Someone said (can't remember who) that its for washing hair one, cos the shape of it is just nice for the head to be inside. Gu noticed a sanitary pad just on the right of this bowl, (hangin on the wall) so he suggested, 'u know ladies once a month thingy? maybe they used it to clean their in front.."

We all were like -_-... We were all poor army guys, how do we know ?
It was like later when we got to know that this bowl is meant for people to wash their backside after they are done with their business at the toilet bowl. You just need to sit on it and on the tap, the water will flow directly to and clean the area... I was stunted. You mean rich people actually install such devices in their homes just to clean their ass? (notice there is a small round soap just beside the tap)
It was few days later i got to know that this device is call 'bidet'.

The rest of the things like the free soap and shampoo (which i took a few back as soveniers) , beds and tv were just like any other hotel i've been to so nothing worth mentioning.

To be honest, i am not supposed to be staying in the room. It was simply because i am needed to be there for work early morning and i don't have transport to travel there that is why i choosed to stay over night there.

I woke up early in the morning and got the sudden urge to try out the bath tub.The water was nice and warm to the extent that i almost fell asleep again..

*jump

Saturday, i suddenly feel like going to the pc fair with jk. Wore normal clothes and left the hotel. Walking in a 5 star hotel is truely different. Just a simple walk outside made u feel like a king, with the people from the hotel greeting u from point to point.

Went to the pc fair with jk. he bought a camera for $500+and i bought a phone memory card for just $42 for 1GB! That explains of the following photos.. A test shot i had on jk upon inserting my memory card..









Of course there are several tempting deals like the nokia N90,91 series which i'm drooling for. Lets hope their price drop till like free next yr..
Once again, i met up with yc and jb at orchard. We did some shopping. For our case, when we said shopping we meant to go abt every single shop messing up every single items we can lay our hands on! For ur info, its still the GSS! And for the first time in my life, i saw jb buying a shirt!!

Our outing ended at around 5pm. I made my way back to hotel to rest. It was then my boss who was there told me that that day was my ex boss, chris, birthday. (the one who was kneeing down to sleep in one of my photos) We went out to suntec (again) at 7pm.

I felt like a true tourist, going out shopping the whole day, coming back to the hotel just to rest a while and to sleep overnight.

We bought a cake like this! Tada!!








However, he was on some duty at that time. So we waited. Meanwhile, i used my super huge memory phone to take random photos...

We waited
(guess who?)







Waited.....
(thats yg, preparing to sleep on the floor)







....and waited.. (ps thats me wearing the bathrobe)










(where is yg??)







and waited



(thats yk who fell asleep)









Until he came!!









Staying in a hotel can be so much fun!!
