May 2009: Dormani Hotel, Kuching

Ill start my blog with this entry about a Hotel in Kuching Sarawak. Soon, when i travel again I'll post more about another hotel too..


1. The Name Reflects Your Identity

When i first saw it's name.. puzzled. In Malay they sound weird..

A coursemate (I was in Kuching to attend a course in early May 09) ask me...
_______________________________________________
friend: "where's the provided hotel?" (urusetia yang sediakan..)
me: "uh? the hotel? its Dorm-Ani..". (Ani's Dorm)
_______________________________________________

then she start to laugh..

Well, people.. Hati-hati dengan nama yang kita beri.. Kadang-kadang kedengaran menarik, tapi memberi identiti yang tak menarik pulak dari satu segi yang lain... kan?

Moral of the story: "When i have children soon, I'll try to give them meaningful names.. not weird ones.."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2. The Location

Situated in the heart of Kuching City. Across the famous "nasi ayam penyet" (ayam tu dipenyekkan... nasik ni ada ulaman dan ayam) restaurant. 5 minutes stroll to mosque. 15 minutes walk to shopping complex. Nampak la jugak bumbung bangunan Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak yang baru tu.. Walking distance to Kuching Waterfront. (still, penat jugak woo!) BUT.. I'd say, STRATEGIC!

Lot 68, Jalan Datuk Ajibah Abol
93400 Kuching, Sarawak
Malaysia

3. Rooms & Rate

I'm not sure about other room, but the one that i was checked-in to was pretty small. but it's the corner room. I think i have the best view since i can see hubby came to fetch me up. Oversee the main road, the mosque, and all that. I think its single room. but the bed was quite funny. It's a single bed, and another one.. tarik, keluar pulak lagi satu katil.. tu kira double ke? price around RM170.00++. Something amazed me.. actually banyak benda la.. everything la tu kan. The wardrobe i suppose.. is not actually a wardrobe. Nampak macam dinding yang covered by wood to look like a wardrobe.. Yang syoknya tu.. ada pulak besi utk gantung hanger.. tapi unfortunately hanger pulak takde. camana nih?? Maybe because it's a new hotel, so they send you food like chocolates twice daily. Syiok!! Hehe. And they give you toiletries on daily basis.. so I have a looooooot of toiletries collecttion! (its my hobby just so u know..)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4. Yummy Food!

I don't know about lunch and dinner.. but the breakfast was.. YUMMY! ( i sleep at father in-law's home, but go to course from this hotel, and hubby fetch me up after work from there too..) .
lot of food to try and they have different recipe daily. of course the so-called western menu nampak sama je tiap hari.. I dont think they need to serve western food because obviously we're in Sarawak, not Aussie or something. Kalau nak western balik negeri omputeh laaa! tak pun pegi restoran kat luar je. Our hotel should reflect our culture!!! and liquor + western food are not ours!!!

5. Fill in this form if you want to borrow out umbrella...

This one is quite funny too. I dont expect I'll see such thing coming. Kelakar tak.. Nak pinjam payung kena isi borang dulu. Takkan nak pinjam payung untuk naik transport pun nak charge? We're still coming back to the hotel since our baggage are still in the hotel? I've never seen any hotel do this before.. *Scratch scalp


I will upload the photos as soon as i can retrieve my memory card..

what's up?? i'm officially 9 months pregnant tomorrow, meanings i'll be down to the labor room anytime from now.. please pray for me & baby's health hopefully we'll do fine (the baby is busy kicking my right rib now, enjoying himself too much these days..*sigh adeh! i guess my ribs somehow looks like good punching/kicking bag to him, huh?). yes, 3 time ultrasound scan by 3 different doctor they all said its a boy. gender doesn't bother me, for my own reason boy seems great for me. but of course my husband is the most overjoyed person for baby boy. Still in my tummy but he started talking about playing soccer with my boy! (that explains why he loved kicking my ribs so much these days..) baby's dad was here last weekend but went back to kuching again yesterday. but no worries, my granny will be around in a week and so will daddy. i cant give u my words, but i will try to update my blogs (read suepreggy.blogspot ) and fb status as soon as the baby i...

Pic blogging?

Dah lama la sangat tak post apa2. Bersawang dah blog. Sibuk dengan kerja, bila free tgk drama online, bila banyaaaak free buat bisnes photobook. Sekarang sibuk pulak dengan persediaan semester jun 2015 politeknik. Ada-ada je lah kerja untuk mempoyo n menyibukkan diri. Tu yg blog pun mcm rumah puaka tak de penghuni.. masuk keluar masuk keluar tak update apa2 pun... Jadi aku buat keputusan nak buat mcm micro-blogging.. tapi pakai gambar dan sedikit caption.. Ini dia gambar pertama. .............. Terkejut tadi tengok apa benda yg melekat kat cermin penumpang belah belakang kereta. Bila tgk dalam, rupanya anak aku punya kerja. Semalam dpt sticker, dia bantai lekat kat dlm kereta.. tergelak sorang bila teringat. Anak aku yg sorang je tu dah 4thn umurnya. Dah dihantar ke sekolah supaya dia ada kawan bermain.. maklumlah.. anak sorang.. belum ada rezeki anak lagi satu...

from Kuching City with love

hello again, i have been trying very hard to adjust myself to the life of a working mom and wife. It is SOOOO much easier to live far away from your spouse than living with them. It's been a month, and actually me and husband had a really BIG argument a few days ago that my father in law had to step in to stop things from getting any worse. tiny things might become huge matters if you do not know how to sort and prioritize well. I really do not want get into any heated arguments with my husband while holding my dearest son. I'm afraid it might do him no good. He's a living human, not a plastic toy! People said, babies are like sponge which is why i am avoiding any arguments in front of him. I have been living separated with my husband for 2 years, and we really do not have any issues trusting each other or whatsoever. But things seems to be much more complicated now as we live with his family. The 'culture' in the family itself really doesn't suit me well and...
