Happy Wesak Day - 28 May 2010

Today was another adventurous day.....
I started the day by going to the Subang Jaya temple. Hot and hot is the description of the weather.

Next event was a new "adventure" for me.....(I would prefer to put this "event" into another blog of mine, which is coming up soon!!Keep a lookout :P )

Due to Wesak day, both of my good friends Jo and HS are back....We met up for dinner in Italiennies in Empire....food's great.....I wanted to have Fried chicken in CHilli's but the waiting list was for 1 hour....so thanks, but no thanks!!!!

After food we wanted to see the new hotel in Empire. So we went....the adventurous us....There were some staffs from Empire : think it's a marketing campaign, all wearing red T-shirts which read "opening march 2010", and with that campaign, think they were supposed to show potential - guests like US (hahahahhaha - who's staying only 5 mins away from Empire) around the hotel.....

First Comment from Jo : (as she was looking at the stairs up the hotel - which was around 20 steps up): How come there's no escalator??? What if I'm a guest who's 70 yrs old can't climb up the stairs......(Jo , jo...:P )

Second Comment came from me :- How come in your t-shirt says opening march 2010 but it's not open yet? :P (according to the staff, it got delayed, it's opening in july)

And so they brought us to the rooms......
Third COmment (this was hilarious) came from the frequent Starwood Preferred Guests Top Tier Card Holder ( Han San ) and soon to be Ms Khaw (Jo)as Jo now requires to travel more often :-

(The room which they showed us targeted at business travellers )

Jo asked : If it's meant for businessmen, where's the desk?? ( in every hotel it should be near the bed , but in here it's a round clear glass table - some of us might even have this table as our dining table and to top it all it's at the entrance of the hotel room, separated from the "room" and facilities ie the telephone etc.....

Then came another reply from HS who told the hotel staff : Ini salah, the table shouldn't be here......it should be in the "room" area......ahhahaha.....

I told the staff : We are giving valuable ideas...he (the staff) should propose it to the management..... :P

After viewing, I told the both HS & JO that they were like wanting to buy more of the hotel property than viewing it as a guest....so many comments :P

We ended the day with some ice blended dessert in SS15 called snowflake......Han San told me to accept back the culture that Malaysia has...which is QUEUING. OH MY GOD!!
The reason is AGAIN, there was a queue of close to 10-15 people ahead of us to buy the dessert!!! never mind the queuing.....after that we were given a beeper ufo thing (which I haven't seen before - will post the photo soon) which beeps when the dessert is ready - which was another 10 - 15 mins of waiting time.... in total, we waited for approximately averagely 20-25 mins just for dessert at 11pm!!!!UNBELIEVABLE!!!But to be on the fair side, the dessert was good lah....BUT STILL!!!!

Had a great day especially on the hotel viewing and dessert :P.....Thanks guys for your time!!
