Its now 9.15 Malaysia time and its only 3.15am in Rome. And here I am in the darkness of the common room trying to connect the wifi in this room but to no avail, and so I have to opt writing in the office document first and transfer it later to my blog. I ve had a wonderful sound (or was it snoring they heard) sleep of 9 hrs. I woke up for my Maghrib n Isya and and might as well wait for the subuh prayer which is due at about 4.30 am here (10.30 Malaysia). I hope I can get used to their night and day time fast. If not the other roommates would think I m nut, tip toeing in the wee hour of the night because I dont want to wake them up using the bathroom and pray in the room. They would jump to see a lady in telekung in the middle of the night and if they do watch horror movie from Thailand or even our films.. they d be shouting “Hantuuuuuuu !!”

my dorm

Lockers

The building of both Papaya and Coconut, are like in the movies you see set in New York. You have to press the bell from the list of names affixed next to the door and introduce yourself. Only then the dorr would open and once inside I was so amazed to see the actual old elevator !!! Ha ah just like in a New York movie !! and the post boxes too wahhh just like old times…


the elevator at Papaya
can fit one person only
if the person is big as me !

View from inside the main door at ground floor

the post boxes
right in front of the elevator

view from my room

In fact when I was walking through their streets I felt just like I was walking in the backlane of Penang streets. Some buildings are just like the ones we see in Penang.

ada sama tak ?

I have two lovely American young girls (must be in their early twenties) as room mates. I was already sleeping when they came back last night and they didnt even switch on the light, doing everything not to make noises and even took their bags outside to get their things.

Come to think of it. Alhamdulillah the messed up reservation at Papaya. It turns out Coconut is just next to Termini Station which is very convenient. Plus the room I booked in Papaya did not have an attached bathroom, but my present room does. Plus its much easier to go anywhere from here since its near to the station.

The weather is so nice here even at night its like the air cond set at 20 c but with a warm blanket, I slept like a baby ....
