To those closest and dearest to me, they would understand and acknowledge that I am not a technologically savvy person. I am one to go to a bank, take a number and patiently wait in line for the lady behind the automated voice-number-calling-machine to read out my designated number. Over and over again the bank teller would have to explain to me the oh so very easy procedure of banking in money using the cash deposit machine. I refuse on the pre-text that I am very careful with money going into something that I don't physically see. What if it goes missing? If there is a teller accepting the cash then there will be the pleasure of pointing out the person to blame in the event of my money going missing. Lately, only lately in the year 2010 that I've discovered the joys of doing my transactions online. I have never, I repeat, NEVER done any online purchases ever.
I was finally persuaded to make an online booking for a planned holiday recently due to the dwindling economy that is my bank account and cheaper online hotel rates. Catchy and easy to pronounce, Spotaroom.com was the reason for my conversion.Was doing the usual Google for a hotel in Melaka (yes, i like to getaway to sleepy historical towns just to leave the hustle and bustle of KL) when i stumbled upon this website. Intrigued by the promise of Low Rates and Instant Confirmation (yes, I'm also a sucker for punchy taglines), I explored further and found that the navigation was pretty simple and straight forward, best suited for a technology retard like me.
