4 Days School Break Plan Goes Unplanned

Hello everyone. Welcome back to my blog. Well, if you are still here looking for stuff to read and discover despite of the old post I made the last time I was here, thank you. It means the world to me. For this post, I would like to share what actually happened during the 4 Days school break that was supposed to be spent at home in Kuching.

Well, for a little throwback, our school decided to go for extra holiday the day after Maulidur Rasul and of course that was a great news. Knowing that we would be having an extra day for our school break, I decided to spend that four days at home in Kuching. My housemate and I was so eager to go back during that school break. So, we both drove straightaway to Sibu from Bintulu on Wednesday October, 28th, 2020. We had our rooms booked a day before. Due to our excitement, we did not even realise that we had booked the wrong room. Well, we were supposed to get a room next to the one we had a bad experience staying in before. Unfortunately, while we both we very certain that the name we had in mind was the right one, it was actually the one we had with a bad experience before. Well, I am not so sure if mentioning their name in here would be appropriate but I will just say that it is somewhere opposite Shell Station near Premier Hotel. The name is Ma**y**n Hotel under *Y* management (apps). To be fair, the price is quite cheap but the blanket was quite dirty, our body felt itchy as we laid down. The water pressure was quite low and there was not even TV remote for us to turn on the TV even after we asked for it. To me, the only part that this hotel win at was the cheap price.

Anyways, since we did not managed to go back to Kuching due to the rise of the Covid-19 cases, I kind of feel like wanted to go to Kapit, the place where I grew up. They said that the road there is 90% completed. But well, of course that was just a plan and it remain that way. A plan. To go there by the road, I did not know the route there and what time do the gate opens and closes. To go there by the water boat, I am kind of having my hydrophobia especially after hearing the news of the wrecked Dayang Topaz. I never once brave enough when I was in the water boat despite of using the same mode of transportation for the past 10 years.

Kuching plan cancelled, Kapit plan cancelled, so we decided to have another night in Sibu but this time we are going to go for a better place. This one is highly recommended. The price is the same with the first hotel we went to but the service is 10000000 times better than the other one. Since this is a highly recommended place to stay in Sibu (based on our online booked hotel/rooms experience), I think I should mention the name here. The place is called Qu Lin Resident Hotel Sibu. We booked the room using the Agoda Apps. The room was quite big for the price of under RM60. Another thing that I loved about this place is that the entrance to the rooms does not pass through the reception counter which means that it would not be too awkward for us if we go out or go in late at night but, do not worry because of course the have a great safety features. The main gate at the staircase is accessible only using the access card that you will receive upon check in. Same goes with your room. Their wifi speed is really fast and of course the room and bathroom is comfortable. Being the first timer there, the receptionist was kind enough to give us a keychain as souvenir from the hotel. It was so cool! What elese? They deliver newspaper to your door every morning for free! They also provides 2 small bottles of drinking water. They do have tv but the channels were quite boring since they are using a decoder like MyTV. But to me, that is not really an issue since I can always play online movies or tv or even radio channels on my phone or laptops since the wifi is super fast.

So, here are some of the photos I took during my stay in Qu Lin Resident Hotel, Sibu.

While waiting for us to be checked in.

That is the gate that is accessible only using the guest card. Awesome right?!

The next day, we made our way back to Bintulu and that was how we spent our days. that plan goes unplanned. I shall make another post on a topic that I believe is necessary for me to spill out since, saying it out loud in someone's ear or face may not be the best option to go for.

Stay home, stay safe. Together let us pray and fight for this deadly disease to be cured and blown away. Amen.

Till then,

bye.
