Yesterday I made dozens of phone calls to all hotels in Kuala Terengganu. Seriously I thought the quest to book a room is so easy and yet, it was proven dead wrong. Somehow this weekend Kuala Terengganu is hosting a tae kwon do tournament and all rooms possibly exist in KT are booked.

To add the salt to the wound, my best friend told me that KT is swamped with engineers and vendors for PETRONAS because one of the OPUs is taking its turn to be 'turn around'. It's like you re-boot the whole system again. And this requires everybody to camp there. Well, this ain't a good news for me either.

However, I managed to get hold to one hotel (I better call it a motel instead) which possibly would have vacancy for this weekend. The manager on duty told me that the room will be given to the guest based on walk-in. Bookings are prohibited. Hmmm... I rarely hear any hotel that can be occupied based on walk-in. This must be dodgy, that's what I thought.

The first thing came to my mind was that this motel is probably for people who want to do illegal stuffs. You know nowadays...that 'thing' comes easy. But this is my last resort.

This is the time when I reminisced my good time when I was travelling in the States. We just crashed at any friend's house or stayed overnight at the Islamic Center. Can I do that in KT? It's only gonna be one night in any surau or masjid. It's not like I haven't done that before.

Maybe I should bring along my tent I bought at Walmart, just in case if I can't find any hotel or mosque to crash.

Kan kan kan?
