PD Trip - The Accomodation

As I have said earlier,
Little Skywalker went with my parents to PD upon invitation from my uncle, who works for
Tenaga University. J and I went to join them later as we wanted to be there when our son go to the beach for his
first time. After
deciphering J's intention, I went ahead pack my stuff into the
half-full bag filled with J's stuff. I've even packed our
ultimate weapon against mosquitoes (just in case I need to give some
shock treatment to the my son to make him behave). After all the packing, I picked J up from her office and we headed straight to PD!

My uncle booked himself a
family suite at the
TNB Condominium Resort, which is located at the
9th mile, next to
Berjaya's Guoman Resort (where J and I spent our
honeymoon due to SARS). The TNB Condominium (to my understanding) are only meant for
TNB personnel. Before this resort was built, TNB owned a
bungalow chalet next to the current resort. My uncle used to
invite our whole family to join him whenever he managed to book the place. I guess the visitors to that place was too
overwhelming consider the size of the corporation.

When J and I arrived at the designated accommodation, we were quite
thrown off by the
entrance to the
TNB Resort. It was a
one-way single narrow lane with
longkang at one side and wild bushes on the other. It was a big
contrast compared to
Guoman Resort (as well as those highway roads that I have driven for the past an hour or so) where there are
two wide lanes going in and two more coming out with a guard house in between. Anyway, I slowly and
carefully maneuvered my junk car through the "dangerous" road.

J called my parents to inform them of our
grand arrival so they could give us
directions to their suite. Strangely, J heard them saying "
Lift 3, Room 308" on the phone. As I arrived at the lobby, I saw two lifts with a gold plated
number 1 in between them. I was confused and ask for help from a
nice lady at the counter. However, she has
no idea where lift 3 is located as well, she told us to get up through the No. 1 lift and go to the 3rd floor (duh! now you know what is miscommunication!) where room 308 is located.

We pressed the
door bell, my dad open the door with Little Skywalker standing behind the entrance. As we went it, we saw the
biggest family suite we've ever been to. You'll be
amazed to if you are one of those poor wage-earners like J and I. The place is
frigging huge and is divided into a few sections namely
kitchen,
dining area,
living room. It has a 3 steps
staircase separating the living room and dinning area. It even have a
big balcony with some chairs and table specially catered for smokers who want to enjoy a
puff. There is a big "
Thank you for not smoking in the room" sigh everywhere. Since not a single soul in our family smokes, there is no problem at all.

The living room it self is very
spacious and all the
furniture are pointing towards the
big screen TV. My brother remembered to bring the
PS2 I loan to him
on his birthday and it was already
hooked onto the TV before we arrived. And guess what? The room comes with a few
Astro channels as well, including
HBO and
Sports! Everyone was enjoying some
Christmas movies when we arrived. J joined them while I continue
snapping photos around the suite.

The suite came with
1 king's bedroom + 2 bedrooms 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. You'd be surprised to see the
master bedroom. It is as even
bigger than the living room! It has it's own bathroom of course, and had more
cushions in it than the living room! I don't think any
low life like myself deserved to sleep in it at all (of course not, since my uncle is the host :P). J and I (with Little Skywalker) got to sleep in a
two-single-bed room after my youngest brother and nephew got chased out (pity them) and assigned to sleep
elsewhere. Our window has a
clear view of the entire swimming pool, which is good to
distract Little Skywalker in case he started to make a
fuss.
