I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...
I am not sure if they meant it to be like that, you know, but on a recent trip to Genting Highlands with the kids, I stayed in First World....yeah, the world's most expensive hotel on a hill with ludicrous facilities, smallest beds, coldest showers, stingiest bunch of buffoons working behind the counters and in the offices! But it was convenient, though. The beds were so small, it's made for 12-year-olds. The television set in there was probably designed about 5 centuries ago and only a caveman would find it impressing. PLUS, there's no ASTRO, there's no air-conditioning in the room (not needing air-conditioning in Genting Highlands is NOT a valid excuse)....the price is a wee bit hiked up for no apparent reason, according to me. With my feathers a little ruffled, I scouted around for something I could make fun of around the hotel lobby. I found the sign above slightly funny. You mean, Genting Highlands sells rooms? I didn't know that. You mean someone could just buy a room and stay there as and when they want? I SERIOUSLY didn't know that! Was it a blunder? You tell me!
Anyway, here are some pics that I wanna share with you from my Genting Highlands trip recently. A bit delayed but, hey, like they always say, better late than never!

Better pay a bit more and get the Ria apartment. It's old...but it's wayyyyyyyyy more spacious. At least it feels like home...and not a prison cell!
killer
killer, how right the term is! PRISON kow-kow! All tourists should be warned about the size of their rooms, man. Warning: Deluxe Size means 'size of a toilet'.
Can't comment much on the 1st World Hotel or any hotel at the highlands cos its go up, get rich / broke wiuck, and down again for me...hehehehe
But Ria apartment so far away from the main themepark leh....that's the prob. at least with First World, we wake up, walk out and play until night time, walk back, sleep....cycle repeats itself conveniently mah.
Sorry wor....of all the vices I indulge in, only gambling I don't. Maybe I am too kiam-siap! Hee hee heee....hard earned money why give Lim Goh Tong punya children? They dont have enuf money meh?
