This is a mail-to-Blogger posting from my hp.
Cher mon blog!
Why is my city rich of traffic jam, but not of strawberry jam?
Why there are more and more people who like to blog?
Un certo Esperimento
Espionage Game
Excerpted from my chat session
EG is my good ICQ friend from Penang, Malaysia. I asked him sometime ago if he happens to pass near Hotel Berjaya, Georgetown to try to find that receptionist based on her caricature that I made. If he can spot her, that means I had successfully stored her image on my mind and manifested it into the drawing. I was surprised to know that he really did it and even will develop the mission more!
Haha....EG maybe more suitably stands for Espionage Game ;-)

EG: will do thanks! u know about the witch like receptionist caricature u had on ur blog, few days ago while on an errant nearby that hotel i went to have a peek, gosh sure was quite a resemblance of what u drew
Say: Lolll...really? you can recognise her?
Woww...I'm very happy to hear that!
EG: something like that but didn't get any closer to catch her name. if there are more wrinkles i'm sure must be the witch from snow white

EG: will let u know the outcome,say next week itself
EG: yeah, on with a mision ! hey! what are friends for !

Postcard from Dog Heaven
Wuff...wufff, as you already knew,I finally made my journey to Dog Heaven on 22nd January 2005

Taste the Music
I'm a junkie for good tunes, and so the opportunity of downloading music for free and legally is like tasting tiramisu for me. Means, so alluring (...sorryyy...I'm at lost with words now, so mind my hyperbolic language).
Ok...it's an invitation from one of the guys who did an on-line sixdegrees project which I participated a while ago (I actually had forgotten it).
This time is about music.
They try to understand how people form their musical tastes.
The good news for music junkies like me, those who participate are allowed to discover and download cool new music there for FREE.
I don't know how cool they are yet, but my ears are always up for any kind of music, even for experimental weird music.
Apologise, except for Dangdut with weepy/ suicidal/ the end of the world/ tacky lyrics and repetitive tunes.
I said like tasting tiramisu.
So far my tiramisu tasting experience in my city: mostly the look was delicious, but many times the taste left me in disappointment. So fake! So ersatz! So...Ok sorry...I'm supposed to blog about music project not tiramisu!
Remember, you can burn it (the song, not tiramisu), fry it, grill it to a CD or copy it to a portable mp3 player but DO NOT give it to your friends. Ask the gangs to reveal their musical taste and experience singlehandedly at

Ms. Receptionist
I got a lingering impression about the receptionists (or front desk staffs?) at Berjaya Hotel, especially about two of them. Amazingly, they look like very similar to each other. Look like twins.
I tried to recapture her image tonight. I should have done it last month though when my brains hard-disk still held a fresh memory of her image.
One of them, the one that I portrayed with the help of PaintShop here, was very very "helpful", "friendly" and effective!
I asked her for a room exchange, because the bathroom didn't have a proper condition, the lid of the wash basin hole was too dense, causing the water to leave very slowly and so to cause puddle and the stick that control the lid didn't work either (yes, I checked everything immediately after I entered the room).
She gave us two choices:
1. Take the room
2. Take the substitute room
Two choices indeed, but both rooms were in similar condition, the substitute room, as can be seen from pictures that I put here look so "OMG". Tell me, was I too choosey, fussy, sushiiiiii??
All that I was asking was a decent room with a decent bathroom, doesn't have to be posh at all.
Why I didn't take the numero uno choice?
Because...I was fed up with the hotel housekeeping.
I didn't want to deal with the housekeeping staffs like in my previous stay. Last time it was frustrating enough when I reported about the wash-basin and the flush that couldn't work properly. There was this housekeeping lady, came with the repairman to fix the problem. The repairman was very kind, he was very helpful, he fix the flush and when he wanted to fix the wash-basin, the housekeeping lady told me that it's actually not a problem at all, because I can just pull out the lid by myself.
I felt like "WHAAAATTTT???"
I told her, it's SO GROSS!
Besides why would I have to do that, I paid for the room with the condition and assumption that all work properly. Besides shouldn't it normally (in any other hotels) have to be that way?
The wash-basin hole lid should actually work mechanically by pushing and pulling the stick behind the faucet, but it was broken.
So I said "No way," and she gave me sour look!
I felt so burnt.
Luckily the repairman fixed the problem immediately and apologised to me for the inconvenience.
The funny fact about the choice number 2: The room is just right beside of the room that I stayed a month previously. That led me assuming that all room in this level has similar condition, this was the 3rd room that I knew on this floor because in our previous stay we took 2 rooms. I told the receptionist girl that maybe the rooms in this hotel are all that "beautiful." She just ignored me :-P

My Sweet Stays @ Berjaya Hotel
Since I've promised my self and I've told some friends about this, today I make this post to glorify Berjaya Hotel, Georgetown, Penang Island, Malaysia.
Here are some beautiful parts and facts about the hotel that I managed to shoot for anyone so to discover the uniqueness of this hotel.
Have you ever seen mold on the hotel window? You can have a panoramic window view framed by molds in this Berjaya Hotel. Superb! Isn't it?
Then this hotel also provides a good circulation in the room through the gap between the window and the window frame. So, yes, a little hot air is supplied 24 hours to warm you whether you need it or not! It's very automatically.
Ohh..and the bed? Yes, I don't want to forget to mention this special extra bed that I had been sleeping on for a week. There, see it? I think it's a pre-historic one! See all the dirt, stain and the tears? Can't imagine what has happened to this bed before. It even has a number, the number is 26B. Cool isn't it!
And some graphic/ artistic work. I guess this Berjaya Hotel really like this kind of pattern, since it's almost always like this. Or maybe Berjaya Hotel has bought the patent of the design?
Its hotel book directory also allows some scribble remains if the hotel housekeeping boys and girls think it's artistic enuf, like this one:
I hope your eyes work properly enough to get what's written there. Poor spelling, I know, but maybe it's still entertaining to the housekeeping staffs.
And look how amazing is the kettle cable this room hotel has. Hhmm..I wonder if all the kettle cables at this hotel are amazing like this, cos in our previous stay at this hotel this was exactly what we also got, but at that time we were afraid to get electric shock which we thought it's not cool at all, so we asked the housekeeping girl to change it.
Enuf about the room, sorry for not showing some little mates! I forgot to take the pictures of those cute ants and mosquitoes. Sorry little mates!
Let's move to the wonderful bathroom.
We had this special effect lighting. Oh, sorry, I think the people of this hotel try to educate guests about saving the electricity. Yes, there are 2 wall lamps, it's a must for the symmetrical visual effect matter of course, but saving the energy is much more important these days, right? I could understand why the hotel housekeeping staffs left it that way.
Look closer.....
It has a polka-dot bathtub! Or should I say semi-Dalmatian-skin-pattern bathtub? Maybe they knew I'm a dog lover? :-P
I forgot to ask the housekeeping people who is the artist who created this cracks on the bin lid. Must be a famous one since they keep it on show.
Again...I forgot to shoot the habitants who dwell in bathroom :-(
Sorry little creepy creatures, but I can mention your race here, how about that? Great eh!
So, I saw one of the natural aviators, the mosquitoes. Sorry that I killed one of that aviators when I stayed in the previous room the month before. No wonder the cleaner boy left the dead mosquito body intact stuck on the bathroom mirror for days, until I confessed to him that I slew that mosquito. Luckily I didn't touch the spider and ants. Oh no...I did murder some ants!

A not so secret.....anymore
Got 'bored email' from Henc today. Achtung: I don't mean 'boring' email, but 'bored'. These two are individual, aren't they? I'm confused with English now.
Henc's just felt bored, so she asked me to write her a long email, which will I do when I have the mood :-P
Eh but I think part of her blahs is because she hasn't got email from her dear Al, so she turns to me :-P (lol...right Henc? I will spare Ar this secret! hehe).
She also asked me if I'm still in touch with Po, which is not. I wonder why doesn't she just visit him in his island? She's in Europe now and she just had vacation near his island. I have been waiting for that to happen. I want her to see him, I told her that a couple of times.
Maybe she's waiting for me to be there too, to monumentalise our finally 'threesome-ness'? :-P Good idea, I will write this to her later.
What would it happen if the three of us really meet?
For eavesdroppers, don’t ever dare to presume indecently about our threesome-ness okeh! :-P
But there won’t be just the 3 of us.....anymore.
