Imperial Hotel, Miri – Room & Facilities

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Imperial Hotel, Miri – Room & Facilities

It’s been a while not blog hopping. So busy… So many things need to do πŸ™

I’ll update my day 3 soon, still can’t find time to edit and resize the photos. I’ll blog about the hotel I’m staying first.

I stayed in Imperial Hotel in Miri. It’s recommended by Jimmy’s friend and also the rate is quite OK for a 4-star hotel. This is the only hotel that has promotional rate that I could find. If it’s not promotional rate it would be much more expensive. The room I’m staying is RM150++ per night inclusive of breakfast. There’re 5% GST and 10% service tax. For 3 days and 2 nights, I paid RM345.


Left: King size bed!
Right: The desk and TV. I just got to know that Miri has no NTV7.


Left: Bath tub.
Right: You see me? πŸ˜›


Left: Toilet bowl hahaha…
Right: This is the first time I see iron and ironing board in the room. There’s a safe of course and the hairdryer is not in the bathroom. Before this, all the hotels I stayed have hairdryers fixed in the bathroom. This is the first time I didn’t find any bathrob in a hotel room.


Left: Complimentary drinks.
Right: Some stationeries.



Views from my room! I stayed at the 7th floor, at the end of the wing. This is where I decide where to go in Miri hehehe…


Left: Leading to my room.
Right: Leading to the gym, swimming pool, coffeehouse, sauna, changing room, and aerobic room. I didn’t know I need to register to use the swimming pool. I was wondering where did those people get the towels hahaha… Only noticed it after I’m done with my swim session. This is where to get it, the room on the left.


Left: The lockers.
Right: The swimming pool. The wind was always very strong, so cold. Hahaha…


The views from the swimming pool on the 5th floor. Same view as my room.


The sauna.

This hotel is recommended if you are going to stay in Miri city centre. There are also suites which have kitchen, living room and bedrooms. The promotional rate for the suite is RM150++ for one bedroom without breakfast. The good thing is that internet is available in every room! You just need to bring your network cable. The lobby has WiFi. The staff are helpful and attentive.

The check-in time is 3pm and check-out time is 12am. They will give you rush room if you reach ther early. I got a rush room at 9am+. Well… That’s what they called it πŸ˜› I’m not sure what it is hehehe…

This is my first time staying at a hotel alone and my first time fully utilise the swimming pool and sauna facility.

Just one complain… It’s not sound proof πŸ˜› I think most hotels are like this, at least so far I haven’t come across any. Oh well… 5-star maybe but don’t think I can even afford it *LOL* Even 4-star, if not because of the promotional rate, I won’t be staying here.

I will blog about my breakfast at the coffee house soon.

Going Blue…

Posted on By sweet surrender 25 Comments on Going Blue…

Finally I’m done with my clear contact lense, starting this month till December, I’m going blue… Hehehe… This is my first time trying out coloured contact lenses. I have two more colours, pure hazel and brown. These 3 boxes cost me RM100, buy 2 free 1. Good thing my both eyes have the same degree so I can buy it this way.


I had changed my contact lense brand many times and settled with Softlense38 for years. At the begining, I was using Seequence, then I tried Acuvue, next I went back to Seequence. Who knows… The price increased so I switched to Softlense38 until now. I’ve been using monthly disposal contact lense ever since the first time I’m introduced to contact lense. As for now, this is the first time I’m going to use 3-month disposal contact lense. For the next 9 months, I will be using colour lenses and every 3 months, my eye colour will change *LOL*


Softlense38 is only 14mm in diameter but Freshlook Colorblends is 14.5mm. Even though they’re only bigger by 0.5, they can really be a pain in the ass. They’re quite big! Took me quite long to get them into my eyes -.-” Not only that, they’re quite soft but a bit more thicker than the usual contact lenses that I used. Quite hard to explain, maybe it’s because of the size that made them a bit harder to retain the shape when on my finger tip or I should say my finger is small *LOL* Another thing is that, it’s quite hard to see whether you got it in correctly or not as there isn’t indication whether it’s inside out or not, have to be very careful. It even got lost inside my left eye yesterday after I insert it! Gosh… Scared the hell out of me, luckily after a few blink it shows itself, got stucked inside my upper lid.

I got the right side in faster than the left. Took it out and wore it back many times because it felt so odd! Due to the colour, you have to get used to it. Summore they are quite big in diameter, it’s a bit uncomfortable.

It took me longer to insert into the left eye. It just didn’t want to go in hahaha… Finally when it’s in, my vision at the corner was very blur even after blinkings and adjusting. I don’t know what’s wrong. The right side was blurred as first but after few blinks it’s OK just a bit uncomfortable because the size is bigger, need to get used to it. Then not long after that it’s OK.

I decided to let it be as I was thinking that it might need sometimes to adjust to my left eye. However, in less than 2 minutes, I couldn’t stand it anymore, I just had to take the left side’s out! I decided to switch sides(good thing my eyes have the same degree else there is no way I can do that -.-“) to see whether it’s my eye problem or one of the contact lenses was defect. I switched them and my right eye could adapt faster, no such problem with it. Then the left eye, the bluriness disappeared a bit slow but it’s not that long. Hmm… However, still both eyes felt a bit uncomfortable.

Few hours later, it’s not that bad anymore but it dried up quite quickly! Oh dear… I’m a bit regret that I bought 3 boxes -.-” I have to stick to them for the next 9 months and constantly rewetting my eyes(I guess…). Arggg… This is my fourth day using it, feeling very much OK already. The blurriness after the insertion didn’t last that long anymore but it really dried up fast. I don’t use them for more than 8 hours so far. The big diameter is really no fun hahaha… I’m using more time to insert them but removing them are very easy maybe due to its texture.


Left: Just my normal eyes…
Right: Damn! I freaked out after wearing it when I stared at myself in the mirror! Felt so fake and the eyes seemed to be no life and cold… Also scary…*LOL* All I see is the thin piece of plastic covering my real eyes. So… Don’t try to piss me off for the next 3 months, I will stare at you using that fake blue eyes of mine to make you feel BLUE… COLD… Then you might get a nightmare after that πŸ˜› I feel as if I’m getting ready for a halloween party -.-” It’s so not my colour… I guess it’s much more suitable for those with light eye colours than dark ones.

I don’t think I will go on using them after I’m done with them, I guess I will just switch back to my good old Softlense38. I don’t like the huge diameter and they dry up fast.

LOL… This experience with coloured contact lense is so much more dramatic than my first time using contact lense.

I wonder… Do Northern Virginia plastic surgeons perform eye colour changing surgery or not? Don’t think there is such thing in this world. Just my crazy thoughts that’s all. Who knows one day there’s such technology but I still prefer changing my eye colour with contact lense instead of going under the knife.

I’m sure you are waiting for this part… Wondering who are the artistes? Actually we don’t really know who they were too and we kept asking each other who they were πŸ˜› Thanks to DiGi for giving us the chance to let us know our local artistes. If not becasue of this, I’m sure we are all still in dark that there are actually so many good performers locally. It’s something to be proud of. “DiGi-Always The Smarter Choice” is so RIGHT! I’m a DiGi subscriber, this means I’m smart too! *BLEK*


First up… Urban Method. Hahaha… We thought it’s Urban Matter at first πŸ˜› They are more towards rap and hip hop.


Liang was next. Hmm… Why is he wearing sunglasses at night? So funny. Hahaha… He couldn’t stand still -.-” So hard to take his pic with his face facing us. He kept kicking his foot too πŸ˜›


Gerhana Ska Cinta was up next after all those kickings by Liang hahaha… The audiences really loved them a lot! So many fans! The fans were so excited and after the last song they kept going “ONE MORE! ONE MORE! ONE MORE!” WOW! So, they sang extra two songs just for their fans.


Now… It’s Joe Flizzow from Too Phat turn. You know, I thought Liang went up the stage again. -.-” They both don’t have hair and wear sunglasses. LOL… Apparently Adrian thought that too. We are really not into local music scene, this is really an eyeopener for us. Who’s that orange t-shirt guy? I don’t know πŸ˜› By the way, we are all smart people πŸ˜› Since we are all DiGi subscribers hehehe… Don’t throw smelly eggs to us *run away*

*Screaming with joy* Hahaha… Nuh~ I didn’t do that but the audiences were. Finally!!! The most awaited man is here!!! LO! LO! LO! WOHOOO! FU-YOH~~~

The CLIMAXXxxXx! Must go to the backstage to take photo with him. Must, must, must! His songs really rocked everybody, I found myself shaking to the beat too. I have never encounter Jason Lo in such near distant and my oh my… This is my first time see him singing right in front of me. I like his songs though I’m not a big fan of him. He’s from Kuching. Very talented guy and I know many girls are crazy over him hahaha… Guys too. I’m sure you will be very jealous… When you see my coming post… Hehehehe…

By the way, there’s one very handsome drumer in one of the perfomances. Hehehe… I thought I’m the only one thought that he’s handsome, Alysha thought so too. We girls had heaps of eye candies to see last night. Too bad, only one female artist there so no eye candies for the guys πŸ˜›

Ok… There will be two more post coming up… Stay tuned!
