I'm moving out!

Finally, i'm moving out from the tiny room. A friend around the neighbourhood decided to go for a bigger place and i decided to do the same thing.

Moving out is not as easy; though it's just 3 steps away (i mean literally!)

I have a vision on how the apartment will look like. Initially the concept was "modern contemporary". Let's see what the end result may turn out.. hehe...

Remember i was complaining about my room? If you dont, Click Here!

The NEW Red Bull Female Drivers

I was at Sepang International Circuit last monday to see the all new Red Bull Female Drivers. It was their training session as they are gearing up towards the "Millenium Merdeka Endurance Race".

I must say, the ladies were awesome!! They came from a diversified background but all have 1 thing in common, passion for speed.

I was pretty suprised when i first saw them (or maybe i should say stunned by their gorgeous looks?).

The media had a chance to go for a ride around the circuit with the ladies and all of them came back with huge smile on their face. They were good.

Of course i took the oppurtunity as well. Norlina took me for a ride and it was extremely good! It was like riding on a roller coaster and i enjoyed every single part of it. She completed the entire circuit less then 2.5mins.

I must say the ladies were very impressive.

Election Election...

It's everywhere. Newspapers, tv, radio, blogs and not forgetting, on every single lamp post. Election is in the air.

It is the most talked-about issue.

The next time anyone ask me on this subject, i'm gonna quote Samanta (From Sex & The City).

Samantha: I don't believe in the Republican party or the Democratic party. I just believe in parties.

Cheers!

"Lou Hei"

My and my colleagues were having our ciggie break when my boss brought up the idea of having dinner together, in conjunction of the Chinese New Year.

The next day, i received an email:

Dear fellow colleagues,

It is a tradition for the Chinese to “lou hei”, which means to bring good health, wealth and luck to everyone.
This year, the Mercatus group will be having our “lou hei” dinner; details as follow:

Date: 20 Feb 2008
Time: 6:30pm onwards
Venue: Souled Out, Desa Sri Hartamas

See you guys there!

Regards,
Pui Fuen

All i can say is "It was fun!"

This is the "Lou Hei". Its a mixture of crackers, erm....ermm.. i forgot!

Everyone have to mix the stuf together and cheer!

Yeay!

And this is the end result.

And then we ordered our main course. I kinda like their presentation.

My chicken chop. It was nicer a year ago.

This look yummy.

I dont eant fish, but that look delicious!

see...

But Robin was sweatin all over. maybe it's too spicy!

Audrey looking exhausted after a big meal. She couldnt finish it!

This is me & Pui Fuen :)

My colleague Dess.

The evening was filled with laughter & chatter. And then we all got really sleepy coz the food was just too filling!

I think tradition like this is good. We were all very busy but had to make some time to sit down and have dinner together. Occasions like this bring people together. And truly appreciate it.

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Cheers!

Dinner @ Bangkok House

Fedo brought me to a "undiscovered spot" within the area i live. This is my 5th year staying there and i have never went to this particular area.

Suprisingly, there were plenty of restaurants and they all look rather interesting. Fedo is a huge fan of Thai food, so we went to this place called "Bangkok Place" and i tried something i have never eaten in my life.

This is the restaurant. It says "The Bangkok House"

Fedo had this "Prawn Tom Yam"

That's the prawn.

And Crab

I had the "Pandan Chicken". It's chicken wrapped in pandan leaves. It was pretty nice, but i prefer the ones at Chakri

I ordered a refreshing coconut.

And fedo hap Apple Juice. Unlike my drink, his is not so Thai huh?

And he had Chendol for dessert. The Chendol is a little different. It's thinker and greener compared to the normal Chendol we see.

See. Different right?

Now this is how a well-fed guy look.

So, what was the new thing i had? Hehe....

It was sticky rice with Mango. I've never tried it efore. Usually i wont try anything i've never tried but since i have eaten both item saperately, i thought it would be ok to try..

It was nice! You should try it!

Cheers!

Shafique & Fiza's Wedding

Before i proceed with the details of the wedding, i just have to share about my experience going to the wedding.

I sms-ed Audrey saying i'll meet her at the hotel at 7.45pm. I got ready and left house around 7.15pm. I took the Ampang Elevated Highway and enjoyed the KL view. As i was approaching Shangri-La, Audrey called.

Me: Hello!

Audrey: Where are you?

Me: Im just making a turn to the hotel. Are you there already?

Audrey: No, i'm stuck at Federal Highway.

Me: Awh, I see.

Audrey: How come you got there so early? Which road did u take?

Me: Haiya... My house is in KL... I took the Ampang Highway lah. *Proud*

Audrey: I see... Ok, see you there.

Me: Ok, I'll wait at the lobby.. I'm infront of Shangri-La already.

Audrey: Huh? Why are you at Shangri-La?

Me: Huh? the wedding!

Audrey: It's at Sheraton Subang lah!

Me: What? Sheraton? No lah... It's at Shangri-La!

Audrey: Wait... *Checking the wedding card*.... My dear, it's at Sheraton Subang.

Me: Oh god... What's wrong with me?

Audrey: Haha...

Me: Arrgh.. What's wrong with me??

Audrey: Take it easy, just come here

I still can't beleive it. I was extremely confident about the venue. If Audrey didn't call at the right time, i would have gone in Shangri-La and attended someone else's wedding.

I sms-ed Desiree telling her what just happened. Her reply was:

Dess: Oh my god! U r also loosing your mind. welcome to the club!

Seriously, something is wrong with me today. besides the non stop activities, something has been bothering my mind and i tend to go crazy.

So, i got there at 8.30. The deco was nice. It was very interesting, just like the guests!. I can safely say that half of the A-List socialites was there. And the other half was suppose to attend, but had to cancell due to the election. I'm not kidding. Politicians, Chairman of giant companies, CEOs, MDs, Tan Sri's, Puan Sri's, Dato's, Datin's was everywhere.

Let's see the pics i took:

The emcee was Awal Ashaari, Host of the One In A Million

I was seated with SM Faisal Tan Sri Dato' Seri Utama SM Nasimuddin & Wife, Emilia Hanafi. SM Faisal is the Executive Vice President of NAZA Group of companies..... AKA My ex-boss!!

It was nice to catch-up with both of them. I am blessed to have an ex-boss like Faisal & Emilia. Though i have moved on, our relationship remains. They even told the rest of the people at the table that i was their ex-staff and how much we enjoyed working together.

Emilia's *Bling Bling* handbag

The food was okay...

This is the souvenir

I only had a chance to see Audrey when everything was over. Standing next to her is Lawrence.

The Bride & Groom

Another one.

This is the Bride, Fiza.

The wedding was great. And i was certainly entertained. Congrats to Shafique & Fiza! I'm Happy for both of you.

Cheers!

CNY Open House #2

I had to wake up as early as 8.00am to get ready to go to my client's open house. The event start at 10.45 but the location was something extraordinary... They are at Port Klang!

It took me about 2hrs to arrive.. Fyi, it was my first time going to Port Klang. I was lost for about 45mins. Full stop *_*

The event was just nice. There were Lion dance performance, food, food and more food. I was seated together with the media, but went out to the buffet counters to snap some pictures.

The concept was fun & leisure. If you ask about the food, i'd say they had half of pasar malam at the couryard!

Kuey Tiaw or Meehun Goreng?

Or you prefer Mee rebus?

How about Ikan Bakar?

Or Popiah?

More food...

Fruits

Ice Kacang also got!

Kuih Pau

Mountains of Oranges

Lucky draw... Ang Pow from RM188 to RM1888

As i was chit-chatting with the media, i discovered that the journalist from Berita Harian is my junior. She brought her junior who is doing "A Day With A Journalist" training. Haha.. It's always good to study at UiTM. Especially if you are in PR!

Guests got a bakul of cookies as a token

This is the Lion Dance Acrobatic show. Pretty darn good!

I left about 2++ and got home almost 4pm. It was tiring, especially the journey. But i love to look at people enjoying this joyous celebration. I think it's just wonderful.

Ok, i need to rush.. Gotta go shower and get ready to attend another function. It's my client's wedding.

p/s: My car is being cleaned as i am typing.. *Finally*

Cheers!
