The editor would like to take note that no murtabak were wasted during the catering for this special scoop article.

I looked out of my hotel room, and I saw this. I thought my eyes were playing on me, because the previous night I dreamt of some girl in night gown chasing after me. But after rubbing my eyes for the umpteen time, I can really confirm this: My hotel view is great!

My roommates were all eagerly anticipating what this lady would be doing next, and I thought maybe, just maybe she might be cutting her toenails after bathing. Don’t ask me why. I assume she had just bathed. But to my disappointment, the lady went out of sight. I tried whatever angles from my hotel room window to get a glimpse of her but what I got was seeing naked men in the neighbouring buildings smoking and gesturing to each other. I assume they were learning sign language. Because since nowadays people only like to SMS, I guess the next evolution of communication is sign language.

Anyway, to your disappointment, I did not find that lady but later on, I saw a bunch of ladies walking around the balcony, not naked but fully dressed. Most probably getting ready for work. If you get what I mean. So from this incident I can make the following conclusion,

it’s always important to look out of your window once in a while.

And oooh, I can see my neighbour next block doing..
