You know what I really can’t stand?
Stationary shower heads.
Those stuck to the wall.
How do you shower and clean the tricky parts of yourself?? Shower acrobatics???
BODOH punye orang only designed that piece of metal stuck to the wall la.
Every time I step into the hotel room, the first thing I look at when I get in the room (after putting my bags down) is to look at the bathroom, and the first place my eyes zoom into is…
A big disappointment. 95% of the time.
WHY do you have stationary shower heads?? Very pretty meh??
GRRRRRR.
Show me just ONE person who appreciates them.
And I will stop being so noisy about it. :P
I mean, are hotels afraid of their customers stealing their shower equipment? Really?
ARRRRHHHHGHGHGHHHGHG.
And the hotel I stayed in when I was in Penang…
It self-claimed its hotel to be a hotel of “refined corporate luxury, where business and pleasure are intertwined to meet the discerning executive’s needs.”
I don’t know how many stars this hotel is rated at, personally, I give it one. Or even a motel status.
There were so many tiny things that made me really geram…
Whoever heard of paying RM10 a night for wi-fi in year 2010??
Don’t know about you, but wi-fi in every kopitiam and in all hotels are free.
In that hotel, it was free, but only for one user.
Secured connection, so every day, you had to go get the password from the lobby.
But I was sharing a room with a colleague, so that makes 2 users.
And the hotel reception guy actually said we will charge RM 10 for wifi.
At first, I’m like, fine. Cos I was staying 10 days so I thought the extra RM10 would last the whole ten days.
But apparently it didn’t and I got so ‘grrrrrrh’ I just called their manager up and asked them what kinda “refined corporate luxury” hotel this is when a simple thing as wifi is charged per night.
WAHLAUUUUUUU.
Lol. Then the management said ok lah ok lah, bagi you je lah.
Well, not in those exact words, but something along those lines la.
And the staff were obviously either not paid enough, or not trained at all.
They were so rude! I would imagine that in the service industry, they would be trained to treat customers as king…but nooo… Maybe they didn’t make enough profits from selling their wi-fi usage to send their staff for training.
Heheh. Customers from hell.
But seriously, yknow? Corporate hotel, mah esss.
Okay, now that the angry rant is done, it’s time for some music re-introduction.
Re-introduction??
I don’t know what word to use.
But I would just like to post up a few songs every time I post here…
For you to listen to, if you like.
I don’t promise that you’ll like it, but I think it’s pretty damn good.
So in my previous post, I posted a duet love song.
This time, it’s a bit noisier, with lotsa riffs and more grit.
The Last Fight by Velvet Revolver
If you see Slash in it, yes, he was here with VR after GNR..
I don’t really listen to them, but when their album Libertad came out in 2007 (I remember the year because it was my SPM year… SPM, the last fight, geddddit?? Haha, oh how mistaken I was :P), I was so blown away by this song.
The opening of the song, the guitar, just made me sit back and listen even more, if that was possible.
I just wanted to absorb alllllllll of it. It felt so good.
And then Scott Weiland’s vocals came on; his deep, rich but smooth voice…and I just knew the song was going to be one of my favorites from then on.
Here’s an acoustic version for a more intimate feel.
Next up, something classic.
U2 – With Or Without You
I was surprised that so many people didn’t know of this song…
It’s U2… helllllohh??
Okay la, forgiven if you watch this video :)
This song is really uplifting, for some reason I can’t put my finger on.
It ‘s the same for most U2 songs actually. Maybe it’s just Bono’s voice?
Mmmm… I can listen to it on repeat all day and karaoke to it :D
It starts off with Bono taking it very tenderly with the first verse… Then the song progresses with an upward swirl of energy (or at least, that’s what I felt :P) and after a few bridges/choruses… then… Bono just bursts into this time and space where the world just stops to him let continue his melodic screaming.
No, for real.
His “ohhhh-ohhh-oh-ohhh….. Ohhhhhh-oh-ohh-ohhhhh” in the song?
I don’t know how to describe it. Melodic screaming was all I could think of. LOL.
And you give yourself awayyyy-eyyy… And you give yourselffff awayyy-ehhh….
Totally transports you into a dream-like state, doesn’t it?
And finally, ladies and sexymen,
Bon Jovi’s Living On A Prayer.
Whenever this song comes on the radio, I just gotta sing scream along… Hahahah… And I can only ever remember the lines of the chorus… So I always scream along when the chorus comes. Lol.
It’s such a nice song to listen to at the end of the day, better when you have someone to teman you in your mini karaoke to Bon Jovi.
Woooahhhhhh we’re halfway there-eh!
WOOOOOOAAAA-OHHH WE’RE LIVINNNN ON A PRAYER!
Take my hand, we’ll make it Ah swear-eh..
WOOOOOAHHHHHHHH WE’RE LIVINNNN ON A PRAYER
:D :D :D :D :D
Epic.
