Swanky Do

Let's hope C and CT would report on the Rantau Abang beach cleaning over the weekend. While I was cooing in the soft sheets of Ritz Carlton on Saturday night, my mind was wondering how the cleaning went, sure has been a hell lot of fun.

I told J that when I went the last time, it was very hot and sweaty the whole time but the great fun made up for all that.

We took the opposite turn from the high way back to KL. J couldn't stop running to the toilet every 15 minutes...his face changed every 15 minutes. In the end we gave up and decided to check into luxury for the weekend.

How ironic.

I was supposed to be cleaning beach and giving back to the nature, I ended up on the 16th floor of Ritz slurping on fresh mango juice and wrapped in the comfy soft sheets surfing Astro channels.

We were very impressed. The check-in took 3 minutes, we were led to our room and the bell boy dressed in well-pressed uniform gave us a short speech of what to expect while we were in their good hands...spa, gym, massage, incredibly huge bathroom, butler service, coffee and tea sent to your room by touch of a button, etc.

So to make our stay worth the every cent we paid, we rang the hotel down by asking for everything we could possibly ask for within the next half an hour after we arrived at our room. Ice, batteries for clock, newspapers, food...extra tooth brush. In the first hour of our stay we opened the room door a dozen times, their servicemen were quick. By the 2nd hour, J was all tired up and swear he wouldn't ask for anymore service.

At 3am we both woke up and ordered more food. You see J knocked off at 9pm after his stomach got better. My initial plan of waking him up to go to the streets was short changed when I dozed off at 11pm...

We had a leisurely morning swim, followed by jacuzzi and sauna, and nice hot shower (mind you, the hair conditioner in the hotel works way better than mine) before our breakfast at 10am. The Italian breakfast at Rossini's didn't look anything Italian to me though....not unless you consider Nasi Lemak and Chinese porridge Italian.

We lazed in bed till it was time to check out. J decided this is better than the trouble of going on overseas trip for a quick fix of the mind, just a relaxing (and lazy) weekend over in a swanky do, will do.

And it does wonders for your romance too.
