Have you folks been missing me?Hmm...lets see...Probably not,but I've missed you folks anyway.So lets get started with the recent agendas in my not so intriguing life,shall we?
January 6th-10th
Started off the year of 2011 with a Dubai trip.So little time in Dubai with so many things to do,but most importantly,I got to fix a date for a girl-day-out with my future sister-in-law,Azzura,at Dubai Mall.Well,for your info,Kak Ra,is a flight attendant for UAE's national carrier which is Emirates,and I felt so honored that she got to spend some of her precious time to hang out with her dear lil sis here.We met up at Dubai Mall for lunch at a fancy Japanese fusion restaurant,then followed by some shopping and hot gossips,and the day was wrapped by 2 cups of frappucino at Starbucks.It was really great spending time with Kak Ra,since she was hardly around during family gatherings or events back in KL.The day after,I departed frm Dubai to Dammam,Saudi Arabia.There's only 1 way to describe Dammam,a deserted land full of men.For the 1st time in my life,I was scared of walking around the airport and outside in our body hugging short kebaya as all of the hungry looking men's eyes were on us as we walked passed them.The women there are allowed to only wear loose fitting black robes with their heads covered,so girls in tight kebayas is not something that they often see.The best thing bout Dammam would be our accommodation there at Ramada Apartment Hotel with complimentary buffet breakfast in the morning =)
January 14th-19th
Enough bout Dubai,now lets jump to South Africa.In the evening of 14th January,I was called for a Johannesburg flight while on standby at home.At 1st I wondered,why on earth would someone reported sick for such flight?The amount of off days in Joburg was more than enough and the total allowances for the trip was pretty rewarding too.But then,I just felt grateful with what I got and stopped questioning irrelevant stuffs.Kata orang,rezeki jangan ditolak.I wish I could upload all the pictures taken while I was in Dubai,Dammam and Johannesburg for your viewing pleasure but it seems that my camera's micro sd memory card is way beyond fixable.It was corrupted by a virus that has been lingering around in Sweetie Pie's pen drive.Thank you for sending your 'love',Sweetie Pie...*in sarcasm*.Besides receiving bad news bout a colleague(whom I just recently flown with)'s mystery death in Amsterdam,overall I had a major fun in Johannesburg with all the monkeys and elephants there =)
January 25th-26th
I was scheduled to attend a 2day communication course at the academy,but after brunch break,I was released home.They'd mistakenly scheduled me for the exact same course twice!I didn't even remember the fact that I've attended the course back in 2008,but who could?It was 3 freakin' year ago!Due to the complication,I was rewarded with an extra off day.Yes!
February 4th
It was the 2nd day of Chinese New Year and Sweetie Pie invited me to come along to an ex-schoolmate's wedding reception at TTDI.Since I had nothing better to do that evening,I decided to tag along to the wedding reception after a hair cut at the salon.It wasn't a major haircut,just an inch or two frm the bangs tht I recently grew.
The reception was just as divine as the couple,except for the cake.Having a cake with two school badges printed on it is a major cliche.We are not in high school anymore,for God's sake,leave the school spirits at a place where it should belong,not on a wedding cake.But who am I to criticize anyway?It was their day,so they deserved to have the best of everything.Congratulations guys!Oh,another thing!Just a reminder to ladies out there.If you don't wana be called "Pantyliner" at a wedding full of judgmental guys around,please do wear an appropriate undies underneath your dress.I'd recommend a G-string underneath a dress like that =)
Feb 5th-10th
It was time for a visit to the Down Under again.Nothing much to tell about my Melbourne and Sydney flight,except that the flights to and from the Down Under is getting crazier by the day.80% of the passengers on our Aussie flights are Indians (who wished they were Australians) nowadays,and you know how crazy a flight can be if it is filled with Indians.I've tweeted bout my depression and anger that I felt towards them on Twitter,so I'm not gonna do it again here.They will remain as difficult,annoying,and pathetically desperate for attention as they've always been no matter how many times I've blogged or tweeted bout them.So I rest my case~ Just 1 teeny bit of interesting info to be shared.Our company just recently relocated us in Melbourne to a hotel situated at a very posh street there.Our hotel itself is located inside a Starhill-like shopping mall with the biggest Louis Vuitton boutique in Melbourne standing a few yards away frm the hotel!It was super exciting!=D While I was Foursquare-ing in Sydney,utilizing the complimentary WiFi connection at a nearby McDonalds,I received a happy news frm Ayah saying that the booking of Seri Endon Hall in Putrajaya for my wedding reception in January 2012 was completed and successful.Despite being big,beautiful,and with lots of parking space,it became my choice of venue for my big day's reception as it holds a strong memory of Sweetie Pie and I.I'm not gona spill anything more than that,so just keep coming bck to this blog for more updates.
February 11th
My family and I was invited for a Yee Sang dinner with Ayah's chinese friends at Chynna,Hilton KL Sentral.I don't have that much of Yee Sang dinner experiences but I do have a cheongsam all the way frm Shanghai for such occasions=) Dinner was good and unique as the waiters there were trained with all sorts of kungfu-like stunts when serving us tea and the dishes.I was totally blown away with their moves.But the best part of having Yee Sang dinners with Chinese would be the angpows they handed to you at the end of it.Well,thts just the beauty of being single,might as well enjoy it while I can =)
February 15th
It was our so-called Valentines' Day out.We don't believe in Valentines' Day but we've always believed in showing appreciation and showering love towards our partner by taking him/her out on a date with a surprise gift for remembrance.We went to Pavilion for barang hantaran hunting,and in between,we decided to grab a bite at Wendy's,outside of Pavilion at Jln Sultan Ismail.While enjoying our mushroom melts,it rained cats and dogs.In order to return to Pavilion,where our car was parked,we had no choice but to struggle through the heavy rain.So we ended buying these cute disposable rain coats at a 7eleven next to Wendy's....
It was 1 hell of a great date.We managed to find what we looked for and on top of that,we got to exchange gifts that we bought for each other.Guess what Sweetie Pie got for me....
A pile of new books!To be exact,there are 7 of them and I should definitely start with 1 right after this.No other gifts are gona be better than those.Thank you,Sweetheart!=)
I guess that's all for now..Do not forget to keep coming bck coz ARRESted For Life is definitely bck in business! =D
