They say, when you walk into a hotel room, there are a few things that you should do before you relax. The objective? To ease the spirit that happens to be occupying the room that you are about to spend for that few nights.

Author’s Note : My colleague, KKor, related this story to me about his recent vacation with his family at Pulai Spring Resort, Johor.

Back in Oct 2008, my wife, eldest son (he was 1 year plus at that time) and I went to Johor for my wife’s company trip.Her company booked the Pulai Spring Resort which was quiet beautiful place for holiday. We left on a Saturday early morning at 6.30am and started to travel from KL heading to Johor.  The trip was a treasure hunt trip so we reach the resort about 2.00 pm. After checking in resort I was very tired and went for a sleep around 4.00pm.

It was a family suite so there was one bed room and living hall ajoined with the kitchen. My wife and son did not feel tired so they sat at the living room watching movie until I woke up at approximately 5.30pm. Later in the evening, we proceed to dinner and joined the game with her company colleagues til mid night. All three of us went to bed around 12.30 am and I slept throughout the night like a baby. We woke up around 7.30am the next morning and after breakfast, we checked out from Pulai Spring Resort and headed down to Malacca for a some sight-seeing. Later after that, we went back to KL.
