My Apartment

Welcome to my humble abode. I live on the 11th floor of Century Bay. A quick ride up the lift brings you to my floor. Just off the elevator you will find an open hallway down to the various apartments. Its quite strange coming from Wisconsin to see the open hallway. When it rains you get wet walking down it as the rain just blows in! It sure makes for a great view of the island though!

As you come up to the door you'll see I have an iron gate and a little entry way. I have a funny door bell too. It plays crazy Olde American songs such as 'there is no place like home' 'rock-a-bye baby lullaby'.

Once you come into the apartment you'll find your dropped right into the main living space. First is the dining table with 6 chairs. I almost get to have a new one for every day of the week! Just off to the right is the kitchen. Its fully furnished with a mid-sized fridge and a plug in water boiler. Funny thing in here is that there is no hot water in the kitchen.

There is a sliding door leaving the kitchen to go to my laundry deck. Its all out doors! I just have a washer, no dryer. Just hang everything out to dry. I haven't done it yet but somehow I suspect it'll take a while to dry in the 90% humidity!

Coming back into the apartment, past the dining room is my living room. A bunch of couch like seating in front of my TV, woot. I haven't turned it on yet though... I have a little balcony off from the living room with a gorgeous view of the Penang Bridge. I believe its 13km long and was once the world's 3rd longest bridge.

Veering right before the living room is the Master bedroom and bathroom. Nothing too remarkable here. Instead of the silly marble flooring in the rest of the place, its got wood floors. The bed is quite low to the floor from US standards but its a big bed. They don't have any closets here either, just wardrobes.

The Master bathroom comes fully equipped with its own water heater! Just flick the switch 5-10 minutes before you want to take a shower and voila, hot water. The marble found in the other living rooms makes an appearance here as well but this time on the walls.

I've also have 2 more bedrooms, one of them even has a bed! The other I use as the ironing room. With the spare rooms I also have a guest bathroom. There is a shower in there but its quite strange. There really is no actual shower stall, you'd just shower near the water fixture and that’s it!

Oh, and I have a pool too. I haven't used it yet but it sure looks inviting!
