wow. what a room* 

Hey you. It's been awhile, ya? Missed me? Heh. Don't answer.

Anyway, I was in Jakarta last week for work and stayed in the most gorgeous hotel room, ever. Ever ever. I mean, I had logged onto the hotel website the night before. Thus I knew it was a boutique hotel and that each room is uniquely designed. But wa liau eh, when I opened the room door and saw what unfolded before my eyes, I had to literally picked my jaw from the floor.

The room was a beauty. It is huge in size, nearly as big as my apartment, only much nicer. A whole lot nicer. A world of difference nicer. Super posh. Everything about it spells L-U-X-U-R-Y.




The bathroom was as big as my room - it has a walk-in closet area, the bath floor area is made of wood panelling...like those u find in Bali. Really nice. And the shower products are all from L'Occitane. Shamelessly I admit, I sapu everything into my bag. Heh. Ya ya, like you wouldn't do the same. Puh lease la.

That night as I lie myself down to bed, I said a word of gratitude for this new job of mine and absorbed myself fully into the luxury around me. And part of the lyrics from "Sit Down" by James echoed in my head..."If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor."

I can't wait to go back to Jakarta again. Another room this time.
