Pool at a 5 star hotel




I finally was to stay in Harbour Grand hotel again. My previous time was in 2010, when a friend of mine came over. I heard the pool was great  but wasn't able to head up there. This time I was prepared.

So at 11:30am, I hit the 20/21 button on the elevator. I get my towel, open the door to the pool deck and GLING!  the sun hits my face, i can't see, the sun penetrates my skin, like a rapist saying hello old friend. Ai, I hate being under the sun. What's worse than noon time sun is the fact that we are on the rooftop, hello, we are at least 21 stories higher than the usual sun exposure.

When I can finally open my eyes again. What I saw was a small lumpy cloud shaped pool at the size of around 25 x 40. Small pool. Not alot of my people were in the pool. a vast majority of the guests were on the sun-chairs..hmm...I don't even tan and I'm so much darker than them...plus, i thought this was a 5 star hotel, where is the Olympic sized pool, why doesn't a 5 star hotel provide the option of an indoor swimming pool? Should I just pack up and go to the gym? Oh nvm, it's probably going to be disappointing too, ill just head to California fitness later. 


 The laps were errr...short. I reached the other end in no time, and back. However, The view underwater was beautiful though. Okay, Spanky called and affected my flow of thoughts. The end.



My phone was out of battery, so I wasn't able to take pictures, so I took these from the internet. I read an article that discouraged the sharing of photos on the internet. In the article it said that What you have seen is one memory and induces a type of feeling, what you have captured creates another feeling, and what you share on the internet induces another. So the sensation that a person experiences is different or diluted and almost highlighted to those specific recalled images when put to display. Click Here for original article.


I got out after 3 minutes, the sun was too much for me.
