and more addtions

Location: back in 406 at Riviera, KB, Brunei
Time: nearly 11pm
Feeling: tired

Bottom 3+ list:
6) Cancellation of my flight from Miri to Kota Kinabalu on Friday night. Got to the airport from Brunei, looked at the screen, spent 10 minutes in denial, then went to seriously hassle Malaysian Air officials. Had to spend the night in a hotel in Miri and get on the 8am flight in the morning.

7) The one night that I did get to spend in the resort that I booked in Kota Kinabalu - freaking fire alarm went off 3 times in the middle of the night. Around 2-3am. There was no farking fire. It was "technical difficulties".

Mini review: Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Resort, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia = kind of sucks. Even if it wasn't for the fire alarm, I still wouldn't come back on the account of crappy service. Staff have NO idea. I ask for American Breakfast and get only half the items in the description. I ask for tea, they forget hot water. I ask for pedicure, I only get half the treatment. What the hell....? I thought I was back at Riviera. I was pretty narky when I arrived 12 hours late and it did nothing to brighten my mood when I had to spend 10 minutes logging around my luggage in order to find the farken hotel transfer. What the hell am I paying them >5 times the taxi fare? It would've been less stressful to hitchhike. Grrr.

Top 3+ list:
5) Kota Kinabalu is very pretty. Great for beachy holidays - lots of little islands around. Great scenery. I would love to come back and actually visit the national parks and Mt Kinabalu. Would need more time. And would not be staying at Shangri-La...
