120908

I suppose I slept too early last night and woke up like 5 plus in the morning. Since I have not much to do and the sky is still dark, I decided to lay on my bed and stone. Just a while later, the guy that is sleeping above me started snoring and the other man woke up and sweared “F*** you” and I think he can’t go back to sleep after that since he decided to wake up and shower. Another thing that I note is the guy slept naked! I didn’t actually see him naked but he was wearing their boxes and stuff while lying on his bed. I woke up to wash up after sasa woke up since we need to catch a bus to Premier Inn (our working place)

Breakfast was provided so we were eating cereal and bread. Sasa was toasting the bread and suddenly, she realized that the bread is stuck in the toaster. We tried kinda hard to get it out but to no avail and we just left it there =p. It’s kind of bad but we didn’t want to be involved in any sort of trouble. hurr hurr…..

Anyway, we headed to the Victoria Coach station and I think sasa is a little tired since she was trying to catch up with me (her bag was heavier than mine and I felt bad about it actually) Anyway, we got on the bus and travelled to the Derby and the journey took around 4 hours. When we asked the bus driver where we should take our bus from to reach Premier Inn, he gave my friend a “what the hell are you doing here?” look. When I asked her later, she said that the bus driver said that we should have alighted at Leichester because there’s a direct bus from there. Being left stranded on the bus stop, we popped by a tourist centre to ask for more directions. We successful got onto to the bus we wanted and travelled to Premier Inn.

Upon reaching Premier Inn, we were greeted by the receptionist because she was kind of expecting us (not many Asians travel there apparently). We then sat down with the F & B manager and the housekeeping manager and interviewed us (actually it is more like talking than interviewing since there is not much skills involved in housekeeping). We told them that we didn’t have accommodations for the night and they gave us a room for three nights immediately. We are really grateful that they are able to make such arrangements since we were quite lost at that moment on what to do.

We went to our room to put our stuffs and the receptionist actually printed some rooms from rent in Loroughbrough (pronounced as Lufbrurrr) As we didn’t have internet access, we actually wanted to try asking whether they can let us use the net for a while since we needed to contact our family but apparently, they can’t allow that. As the night gets darker, we also became hungry and the F&B staff actually recommended some takeaways from some pizza place and we ordered Hawaiian pizza, garlic bread and some peach and mango drink. It turned out not bad although it was kind of expensive but we figure that we didn’t have much choice since they were expecting us to order rather than let us eat our biscuits in our room!

We turned in the night rather early since we are not used to the time there.
