An outdoor wedding and a lousy hotel Pt1

Hubs has been friends with Lan since primary and when we heard he's finally settling down, we were pretty stoked. We were invited to his family beach home in PD to celebrate the lovebirds' special night =)

Our Saturday started off pretty slowly.. Did some laundry (it's neverending), settled the boys and took Kd to his Tumble Tots class while Buk spent some time with Hubs. Then we went for lunch and tried to tire out the boys so they can sleep on the way..

Upon arriving at PD, we decided to look for Lan's place first before hunting for a hotel. His place is pretty secluded but we found it soon enough. Once we located the beach house, we headed on for a place for us to stay. Most hotels were fully booked, much to our dismay.. So when we found one available, we took up the room almost immediately (it was already 5.30pm and we were suppose to be at the reception in an hour! gasp..)

Honestly we didn't expect Seri Malaysia Resort Hotel to be such a disappointment. The moment Hubs opened our room door, a musty and stuffy smell greeted us. We brushed it off thinking it's probably because the air-cond has just started, we went ahead to refresh ourselves. We were in the room for about 30 mins and the air-cond was still blowing warm air.. That's when Hubs called the receptionist and requested for someone to take a look at it.. Waited for 15mins for the maintenance guy to arrive and only then he cleaned and refill gas for the outdoor unit.

Hubs was pretty peeved by now and demanded for a new room but somehow the hotel staff was incredibly reluctant to let us change rooms! So we ended up stuck in the same room. The guy finished fixing the air-cond and told us to call the reception if it still doesn't work. (Should we be concerned by now? It's as though he expects the a/c not to work..)

We were already late for Lan's wedding but decided to hang on and wait for the a/c to work.. It was a little cold after the gas refill but we were not convinced it's working properly.. Hoping we were wrong, we left for the beach house half an hour late..
