  1. Hmmm... the questions you posed do titillate my senses, you know. And I'm dying to read about the dying woman now. Is she one of the major characters? Also, does the Sam Poh Tong mentioned in the story have anything to do with this one : http://www.tourism.gov.my/destinations/detail.php?theme=CH&map_code=sampohtong&state=perak

  2. If that Sam Poh Tong is the SPT in the link, I saw it up close about a month ago. :)
