Bz Bz Bz Bz


Been very bz these few days.. preparing for new season "Winter" products... this is the first time planning itineraries for mass production.. extremely stressed.. my mind still hyperly moving even at this time...

Really wonder how people deal with stress... for me some good food or touge session could help.. but too bad i am on one-week "sole source" with Cambridge Diet (again).. so will be fasting for a week till this Saturday... and too bad i dont have my own car for touge...

This morning i was informed by my operator that some "b*tch" has pretended as me to ask for rates and costing from them.. what the f*ck?? i am not that famous anyway coz im still new in travel industry and not many ppl know which destination im handing... wonder who the hell so bitchy.... could be possibly some SPY..

Just read TK's blog.. knowing that his beloved puppy Gigi has gone... ran over by a car this morning... sigh i still remembered the first time i saw her a week plus ago.. she reminded me of my Jacky... same size same colour same playful same hyperactive... really sad to hear that... Rest in peace Gigi.. :'(

Trip to Ipoh

Why such a sudden plan?

1) It's someone BIRD DAY
2) We need a break from this concrete jungle

We departed from Kuala Lumpur after lunch on Saturday. When we arrived Ipoh, it's about time for Dinner when the HOST (the Bird Day Guy aka TK) and the HOSTRESS (Si Thau Poh aka S) are free for us.. haha

TK took us to Koh Samui the Thai Restaurant that featured several times in his blog






Fresh Coconut


Mango Salad


Pineapple Fried Rice


Coconut-Base Tomyam (Thumbs UP, but can be more up up if they add in chilli padi)


Seafood Otak-Otak (Thumbs UP!!)


Chicken feet skin Salad (my fave!!!)


Commend: Food Great, Service Great, Ambience Great, Highly recommended

After dinner, we followed TK to "yumcha" with his buddies Felix, Han, Boy and Kamparboy aka Kev.. but then the "yumcha" session turned to be a touge session.. **More about touge session**

During the uphill drive.. i realize i havent been so crazy already.. i found out that im no longer the one i used to be and started to fear about mountain roads.. it's very sad that my passion and enthusiastic has gone....... once i told myself "Touge is my life". But then now look at me.. my life has become meaningless without realizing........
i think i should get a car quickly before getting more depressed...

xxxxxxx

This morning, TK brought us for dimsum breakfast at "Ming Kok"




Then a leisure walk at Kek Loke Cave. (I always mix up the Kek Loke Cave and the Nan Tien Cave which is located by the road).. Well Kek Loke Cave is much quieter and nicer view.... see??





Does it look like a horse?


Hundred of Koi in a small pond?


We went thru the cave and there's a "paradise" awaiting for us!! It's also a hot spot for morning walk!!





Do you think this look like a lion statue?



After part of our food digested, we head for "brunch" at Big Tree Food Court.
What's so famous there? The most-try fried stuff and curry noodle..


Queue to pick what u want



I ordered porridge too!!


I ordered "3-Eggs Porridge"


Take-away time for salted chicken


Before hit back to KL, Kisumi addicted already and went for another touge session heh.. and meet up with Kev again for another round of yumcha..

Muahahaha envy leh... this trip is about nothing much else but eat!! It's sooooooo cheap and enjoyable to makan in Ipoh if compare with KL... hehehe.. Once again thanks to Tk for his generous and kindness and his precious time for us.. and HAPPY BIRD DAY :p

P/s: i got myself some watches.. haha leng mou??



and this is my belated birthday present.. thanks i'll keep myself reminded on where i belong to :)

Company Trip to Bandung & Jakarta

It's July - the month we are waiting for. Usually in this month, management will announce:
1) Yearly salary adjustment aka increment
2) Company Trip

We can skip for item#1, coz this year's salary adjustment will be KIV till December due to slow economy

OK let's talk about item#2, once-a-year company trip. Usually the management will choose those places that accessable by Air Asia. We went to Guangzhou last year, and Chiangmai the year before. For this year the management decided to go somewhere nearer (due to slow economy), 4D3N Bandung & Jakarta is the final decision. It was highly recommended by my Mdm GM.

Didn't run thru much about the itinerary althought the person incharge sent to us much earlier, coz doesnt really fancy about it, just know that Group B (including myself) need to be at LCCT by 12 JUL 8.00AM.. (Group A already went for the tour 2 days earlier).. So the 2 groups will be overlapping each other on the 2nd last day (Group A) and upon arrival (Group B)..



After arrived at Bandung... i only realize Bandung is a shopping paradise and famous for Factory Outlets selling "Rejected Branded" Goods. and our main itinerary is to "visit" factory outlets and shop till your wallet drops....

Bandung City Hall


Kereta Api


Our hotel Aston Braga - The Hotel is attached to the Braga Arcade Shopping Mall. Braga is one of the most happening district for night life. There are few pubs just opposite our hotel. It is very very convenient




Our first lunch @ Sindang Reret








Then start our shopping tour at Factory outlets like Heritage, Summit, The Secret bla bla bla... heh din take photo ler.. "gathering" mood for shopping... i bought one rejected Levi's jeans from the Summit. Levi's logo OFF, guess how much?? RP 100,000 (=RM 36) hohoho....




After shopping we were transferred to Sierra Cafe for Gala Dinner, which located at one of the hilltop of Bandung, together with Group A










Actually hor.. Bandung has really nothing much interesting to see one loh...
Tangkupan Parahu Volcano




Sari Ater Hot Spring Resort




Shopping at Rumah Mode


I bought rejected Banana Republic @ RM 36 again haha



Jawa Bean Coffee



Shopping again @ Cihampelas







On Day 03 we transfered 2.5hrs by coach to Jakarta. Well Jakarta was hot, dusty and stuff. really cannot tahan. On arival at Jakarta, after visiting the "Mini Indonesia" we straight away hide inside the hotel room

Mini Indonesia









Sunda Kelapa Port



Poot-Poot


Aston Atrium Senen (Senen is Isnin)


Swimming Pool



Fitness & Spa.. I did a Jawanese Lulur Massage (Oil + Scrup) 1.30hrs at approx RM 81


National Monument



On the last day, we arrived at the airport at 3.30pm. Our initial flight departs at 6.15pm, and suppose to check in at 4.15pm. But then when we look at the departure board, it doesnt state this flight schedule based on the itinitial time. So we tot the flight must be reschedule or something. So when we check in at around 6.00pm at Air Asia check-in counter, the officer told us that it already took off... WHAT? according to the board QZ 7604 suppose to fly at 2015.. NO?? DAMN!!

Waiting miserably for next flight... somemore need to pay for fare difference... KANASAI WHY THE HELL WE NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TROUBLE THAT CAUSE BY SOME OTHER PEOPLE CARELESSNESS!!!! SOME MORE DONT EVER WANT TO ADMIT THEIR MISTAKE!!!! DAMN AIR ASIA!!
