honeymoon's over

The two week semi-orientation, semi-adaptation period has ended. Now on to "Real Life".

Had the luxury of living in a hotel (Nikki, located in Denpasar) for the past two weeks. It's a relatively good hotel. Clean, simple, nice staff, good area (not too crowded), tho a bit tough to look for food (at least there's a Pizza Hut around the corner if you're too lazy to go to the eating area).

Shared the ups & downs of the hotel. People's interests are quite high. The room occupancy and facilities usage are good. During my stay there were 5 wedding receptions, a number of seminars and meetings & a bunch of student stayed there during their study tour. This part is a bit problematic, coz they're alone are already noisy, then they banging doors (including mine) & buzzed my phone. Silly kids.

Living in a hotel is nice, but economic wise it's not feasible. Spent quite some time searching for a place to live, yet no luck. I'm a bit picky on this. Can you blame if someone wants to live in a decent place? Argued with myself whether a house is better than a single-room shack. Either comes with its own consequences and privileges. Bet you already know what they are.

So, right now I just need to re-adjust some aspects of my life again.

Used to have my breakfast ready before going to the office. Well it's not that great to be missing it... They serve you the same menu every morning (: plain/fried rice, capcay (veggy dish), fried chicken and fresh fruits). Not that I'm complaining, it was good. Healthy and save lots of time and energy from preparing breakfast. Next week, no more predictable menu for breakfast. Either I prepare it or simply skip it.

Transportation won't be much of a problem. There will be public transportation in the new area, of course less comfortable than the recent arrangement where I got daily pick up service (back and forth).

So long to free facilities... No more telly (which is ok, coz that means I can catch up on my reading), no more gym (I could always find one near the new place), no more swimming pool (which was quite comfortable coz it's private and not many guests uses it). And lastly, so long to room service... It's just nice to have people ready to clean after you, isn't it?? Well, now I only have myself to clean after me. Nothing new though, usually never let anybody touch my room back home.

So far I survived living out of 2 suitcases, so I guess nothing I can't manage (^_^).
