Miri Miri Miri

Location: Lush bar, Marriott Resort in Miri (Malaysia)
Time: 9pm, Sunday, 1 April, 2007

Yes. It is that time of the year again. And what is a more sad way of spending it than in a tacky bar in a random resort in Malaysia by oneself. Granted, I can think of sadder ways to spend it but that does little to cheer me up... Actually, I didn't even really realise that it was my birthday - the only telling thing was my phone starting to beep with messages starting 6am in the morning :)
So yeah, I felt loved :))
But I do feel I should be at least mildly dissatisfied with this manner of celebration...

Miri is ok. The resort is full of children. Despite my increasing age, I really can't feel any maternal instincts waking up.
It is also full of super-sized bugs. My god, I've never seen bugs this big - not even in Australia. Last night was actually pretty shit - I swear, everything that could creep, crawl or fly in did do that with the sole purpose of biting me. I itch, I scratch and I look blotchily unattractive in the bikini with freaking red spots everywhere. There was also a huge-ass spider in the bathroom. NOT happy. I need a strategy for tonight - I've gotta hunt everyone of those little suckers before I go to bed.

God, the live music in this bar presumes that you're stinking drunk. It could just be bad accoustics as I've heard that same chick sing downstairs at the restaurant an hour earlier...
