2nd Day of Harvest Festival 2008 Part 1

Since I did not go to bed until about 2a.m. the night before, I did not wake up until about 10.00a.m. on the 2nd day of Harvest Festival.

Before we went for brunch, Adam was checking for accomodation in Kota Kinabalu for that Saturday night. He said he did not want the maid to sleep on the sofa in the lounge room again and therefore will book himself into a hotel. I told him it was just for one more night since he would be leaving the following day. But he insisted in getting a room outside over his head for that night.

I tried calling some hotels but they were either calls remained unanswered like for instance Pacific Sutera Hotel and Kinabalu Daya Hotel or no room available for instance Le Meridien Hotel.

But through the internet, Adam found out that Magellan Sutera Hotel has rooms available and so I called the hotel. The booking department told me they had only rooms with oceanview available and would cost a whooping RM500++ for one night. Bookings made through the internet would be more than double the price.

When I gave the person on the phone Adam’s name, the person said if he is not a Malaysian, then the price would be different. We ended up using my name and booked an oceanview room with king size bed.

We left home before noon with Adam’s luggages placed at the rear of the rented Toyota Innova and went to City Mall for breakfast.



Since Adam did not have his usual dose of coffee the day before, the night before he already told me he wanted to have coffee for breakfast that morning.

We went to Old Town White Coffee. Adam wanted to have black coffee but the waitress managed to persuade him to try their white coffee.





Adam ordered a hot White Coffee with Tuna Toast while I ordered an Enrich Hot Chocolate with Old Town Egg Toast. The Egg Toast was served with a spoonful of ‘kaya’. I felt hungry but I could not eat much. That was probably because I had starved myself too long and did not have breakfast earlier. Adam had to help me finished a piece of my Old Town Egg Toast.

When his cup of white coffee arrived, Adam took world record time in finishing the cup. I should have timed him but I did not.



Then he ordered another cup of the same thing and this time round, he timed the feat himself.

We walked around for few minutes before leaving City Mall.
