allow me to clarify...
you see...i was only suppose to fly into Mumbai and travel to Pune (where the programme is) on Sunday...accomodation for this programme i'm on was arranged for a certain Singapore government agency....but only from Sunday onwards.... I arrived a day early as I couldn't get on the flight for Sunday...and so had to arrange for my own accomodation in Mumbai and wait for the rest of the delegation to get to Mumbai so we can travel to Pune (which is bout 3 hours by bus away from Mumbai)....which i did, through another participant of the programme who's from an all important Ministry with an all important office in India...who booked us into the Hyatt as there was low availability of rooms in all of Mumbai that weekend...that's how we got 5 star.
Now...next part of the story is in Pune which is a smaller city quite a distance from Mumbai...In Pune, we were supposed to be checked into a 5 star hotel here for the rest of the trip....the same hotel where ANGELINA JOLIE and CREW are staying at while they're shooting some film here! sigh....
BUT because of some screw up...and the fact that she and her crew has taken almost ALL the available hotel accomodation in this place...we ended up having to stay in the Training Centre's residence....what sucks is that the group got divided into two....the Government Agency that organised this decided the easiest way to divide this was by sectors...us Public Sector ppl got stuck with no Star..while the Private sector ppl got the lovely 5star accomodation at the hotel where Angelina Jolie is staying...grrrrrr...soooooo unfair..
what is most irritating...is that this division was done last minute....and i had initially been on the 5 Star list as I had signed up for this programme pretty early...doesn't that suck! I could be babysitting Maddox right now...
ah well...it SUCKS...but the room isn't too bad...there's broadband 24h a day...so that helps...hmm did i mention that there's no TV!...yeah.....the bed's not tooo bad... only half of me is aching right now...i guess it could get much much worse...
and hey...i get to wipe my a** with the most luxurious toilet paper ever...how can i complain?
