long overdue...
i suddenly recalled that the last time i came back from penang, i had meant to blog about my terrible experience at Sunway Penang and also at this other hotel in Klang. Procrastinated like crazy and it just wooshed off to the back of my head. Anyways...here goes nothing~
forget abt Sunway Penang...just know that if u're gg to P-island and u'd like to stay in a nice, better hotel...Sunway's not the place to go. I was quite disappointed but it's an experience and furthermore, i know that completing the feedback forms is a total waste of energy. at least in m'sia. but of coz' if u're a fan of rocky chairs, unattentive service, paying 10ringgit to park at the entrance but always have to wait for somebody to remove barrier and even though u horn like crazy, nobody attends to u...then yeah, maybe u wanna try this place out.
moving on the much more "interesting" stay i had at klang. luckily it was only a one-nighter...but we paid 100+ ringgit and to be honest, i didnt find that a steal at all. Come to think of it...i don't remember the name of the hotel anymore. i think it was called Gold Course? So when we went in asking for the rate, the receptionist replied asking cy for his ic instead of telling us how much it was for a night. but since we cldnt find anywhere else to stay (strangely, all the other hotels were booked) and cy was too tired to continue with driving so...whatever it was, we had to take this room.
and we thought we were lucky.
went up to the rooms and for almost every room, the door looked like this:
then we thought...hey, if there's a proper room number plate, things can't be that bad eh? and then we came to our door and i couldnt help but burst out laughing. it looked like:
after that, i was still quite positive...thinking that hey, maybe renovation and the plate's not ready. and then we opened our room door...
omg!!! this room must be worse than those out a horror story! anw i was convinced that it's haunted and couldnt sleep well the entire night. rawr~ so this 2 double-bed room, came with only one double-bed. had wires hanging out from everywhere...with no connection to an appliance. the wardrobe was spoilt, they had a showerhead smaller than mine at home and no heater...the blankie was useless and when u tried to adjust the room temperature via the worn-out bedside panel, everything blacks out momentarily. i was truly glad when the night was over. like...s.e.r.i.o.u.s.l.y thankful.
that aside, the trip to penang was ok. i think i'm getting used to how it's like whenever we go back. there's barely time for ourselves coz' everybody wants a bit of cy's time. he makes me feel better abt it by saying that everybody wants to hang out with US. i'm like...ya right. anw, good food always makes me happy. This time around, re-tasted some of the specialties and somehow didnt find them as tasty as when i first tried them. cy says my expectations are getting higher and higher each time...which probably explains the disappointment. but the food is still yummy and mostly cheap. I thought the char kway teow was a tad expensive...didnt know it was like 6ringgit for a small plate! i'm talking abt the lor selamat one...for those who know what i'm talking abt. have yet to try the sisters one...coz' it was closed when we went. and i still didnt get to eat char kway kak!!! bah...next time i guess~ whoever tries it before me...let me know if it's good!
