  15. okie! i copied Q&A from FB...hope those help...hehehe!

    Q: Wats d name of dis plc? Is d pool considered private? How do u rate d place out of 10stars? I got attracted wif d plc too...;p

    A: it's called Clove Hall. u can check out its website....www.clovehall.com i like the experience there very much...it's not exactly private cos u share the pool with other guests of the other 4/5 suites in the house. out of 10, i give 8.5; location is a lil away from downtown, menu for halal breakfast limited to roti canai/nasi lemak/french toast & price for suite quite terbabas...other than those lil lil things, it's simply Lovely, like u r a guest at a (rich) friend's home :)

    Q: Oi dekatnye.. Ada what else kat sana? Shopping?

    A: heheh dekat la, negara jiran je! i didn't really go abt alot there...mainly Bukit Bendera/Penang Hill & Fort Cornwallis. The house is somewhere in Georgetown, alot of the buildings are like our Chinatown & Lil India....if u enjoy walkin along rows & rows of shophouses lookin at temples, mosques & old buildings, definitely nice place to explore, though hot la at tis pt of time. Makan wise...good food along roadside stalls (Gurney Drive, hawker centre at Padang Kota Lama/Esplanade). If u want shoppin mall & modern facilities, also have at Gurney Plaza (we caught Transformers 3 here)/Komtar :)
