Moments in My Life

Happy 8.8.08 everyone.  Feeling extra lucky today?  Anything special happened?  Win any lottery or 4 digit (Empat ekor)? 

For us, it was just another ordinary Friday.  With the exception that we got to watch the Olympic on NBC channel.  Towards the end of the broadcast of the Beijing Olympic 2008, we had a short conversation.

Daddy: Wah today 8.8.08, sure a lot of people getting married.

Mommy: Yalar, very superstitious mar … fatt fatt fatt, especially for Chinese people.

Daddy: I bet a lot of people want to have their baby born today. May be get induced so the baby come today.

Mommy: Induced also doesn’t mean can arrive today, sometimes it takes very long even after induction.

Daddy: What would you name our baby if born today?

Mommy: Hmm … Wong Fatt … Ehh … better still … Wong Ling Fatt! (Ling Fatt = zero eight = 08)

Mommy: Reminds me of ‘Ling Ling Fatt’, the special agent Stephen Chow.

We had such a nice time staying over at PNB Darby Park Executive Suites that we may return again if we ever go back to KL. We booked a 2 bedrooms apartment suite on their executive floor with view of the KLCC for RM650/night. Included in this price was breakfast buffet for 4 people at their 39th Restaurant on the 39th floor.

The check in office for executive floors was on the 32nd floor. We took the elevator straight up to the 32nd to check in. Upon check in, I was requested to put down RM100 as deposit for incidental damages. It was around 3pm but our room was not ready so we were given an upgrade to the 35th floor which I was glad. Actually, my booking was for an apartment on the 23rd to 31st. Our room number #3512, a corner unit facing the KLCC.

I had a very nice feeling entering the apartment. It looks elegant. There are 2 bedrooms with bathrooms attached. There is a powder room by the main entrance, a working kitchen with all utensils, a dining area with seating for six, a nice size living room with TV and DVD player and locked balconies. I like the open layout of this apartment.

Here is the living room. My brother was taking a break there to watch TV. They even have a DVD and Karaoke players.

The dining room that opens to the living room.

My father and brother slept in this 2nd bedroom with two single beds. This room has the view of the KLCC from the huge window.

My sister and I (and our kids) slept in this Master bedroom on the king size bed.

The master bedroom has a master bath that is attached. The bathroom has a shower as well as a bath tub. Too bad, the bath tub doesn’t have a shower curtain. The management should think about getting unique shower curtains that have a nice KLCC view on it. With out this curtain, the water will splashes out easily wetting the floor. We don’t like the bathroom floor to be wet so we didn’t use the tub. This bathroom should also have two sinks but they only have one.
