The Room On Top Of The Stairs

Malacca, the historic city... Yes, I was there two days ago, for a three days course and I just got home two hours ago. This year I seem to be picked for outstation courses... well, I hope this will be the last for this year because I cannot afford to go out of town anymore... When I am not around, my girl is missing tuition... plus good food.. plus "no-attention" at home... very pitiful case.

OKay, back to the Malacca trip... we reached there around 2pm and my colleagues and I checked in to our rooms. Upon entering the room which was the very last one at the end of the corridor, I had a feeling that this very room 501 hasn't been slept by anyone for a long long time!! Sounds eerie, huh??
As for the beds... they looked good...
they were enormously big for both of us...

comfortable though.. for both of us
but I don't mind a smaller bed.. actually..

BUT.... when I opened the mini fridge.........
MY Gosh, what is this???
I was horrified!!!

and...and..... the jug... all dust and dirt..
when I opened the cover, a fly flew out!!
ahhhhh.......

Dare to boil water in this??
My goodness...
There were no towels available...
Gosh..housekeeping fails in this hotel...
I called Housekeeping No. 6...
One elderly lady came to our room..
and heard her mumbling"tsk tsk... budak tu"
then she cleaned up whatever need to be cleaned..
gave us two towels and a cleaner jug as well...

The next day, I found out that two young boys
were doing the housekeeping of the rooms..
No wonder la...
