Being a blogger, we love feedbacks. Comments are great, but I am sure many of most of you remember the first time you get a “fan” mail through the contact me page you have on your blog. Mails such as these often make my day:

Hi Ky,I love your blog so much! I started read your blog last month. It is really informative and interesting. Are you a full-time blogger? Reading your blog is really joyful 🙂
For these readers, thanks for the confidence, I really appreciate it!
Then there are emails seeking recommendations or advice, like this one. I usually try to reply to them as much as possible even though the question could be a bit vague.

how to create my blog?
However, the majority of emails I received lately looks like they are from readers who thought I run certain restaurants. I reply to them and sometimes even call them up just for kicks:

Very detailed, Alicia, but I don’t know how to hack the booking system of that restaurant, if you would tell me the name of the restaurant to begin with. 😀

On an unrelated note, we went to Chilling Falls yesterday for a hiking/sightseeing/soaking session and it was great. Our guide was awesome and we had a fun time. I will write about when I get the photos processed. It is just 3 days away from the X’mas Eve Party, I can’t wait!

amazing isn’t it?
shag,
wah you still have ATUR phones, can you sell it to me? 😛
2 ramlee burger, less mayo, more chili sauce. Send to my office by 4pm.
Thanks.
But seriously, I guess those guys googled those specific places and thought that you were the official website. Probably they still new to this “INTERNETS” thing.
I put my phone number on the internet and I have people calling me,
“Sibaraku? I want to make reservation for 7.”
“Tan Catering? Do you cater for 100 people?”
LOL.
Klaw,
I suppose!
Jason,
That’s cos you do look like a restaurant owner, you know, the shape at least. 😛
Hahaha.. Alicia’s the best LOL
Are those message leaving authentic email address or just spam ?
Hope you have a list of good Vegetarian Restaurants for me when I get to KL. 🙂
I guess those booking e-mails came in because your site is starting to rank up pretty well on searches for names of some restaurants. This is why some average Joe users might think that your review is the official site for the restaurants. 😆
Nicholas,
Hahahha, same name with our friend some more.
moo_t,
They are authentic
Dabido,
I have 2 places for you.
Wayne Liew,
Yah, that’s true, but I guess it’s pretty obvious this site isn’t an official restaurant’s website. Oh well.
You probably should get those restaurants to coordinate with you, since your blog has been promoting them. 😉
HAHAHAHAHAHA LOL till ROTF!
