Le Meridien

Yesterday me & hubby used up our complimentary voucher of 2D1N at Le Meridien. Earlier plan was to use the voucher on 13 Dec,together with few other colleagues.Unfortunately,hubby could not make it on that date since he will be very bz next month.

We arrived at the hotel at 4pm..checked-in and headed to our room at Level 11,Unit 64 (1164).We took a nap for a while.Around 5:30p,we headed to KL Sentral for a walk...hubby did some shopping and he shopped for me as well..

Then,we headed back to hotel to send the items that we shopped to our room..malas nak jalan bawa barang banyak2..kalau takat satu bag takper,ni sampai 2,3 bags.. We took a train (PUTRA) to Kerinchi station and had our dinner at Seoul Garden,Plaza Pantai.It was just 5 mins away and 3 stations fr KL Sentral.The restaurant were so crowded.I guess it was because of Saturday and school holidays.We took a train back to the hotel at 10:30p.We dropped by at 7E and bought some snacks..The hotel provide the snacks bar,where u can get the snickers,cookies,and other light snacks...but guess how much the snickers cost?...RM 12...OMG..that was soo ridiculous..where we cn get it at RM 3 or less only.It's four times from the original price.

We took a tour at Level 8, where the pool is located.Snapped some pics around the pool and hotel area...Headed back to our room,took a shower and went to bed.Our leg was so aching.

Later in the morning,we had our buffet breakfast at Level 5, at 10a (shhh,terbangun lambat!)..The breakfast hours was from 6a - 10:30 a...but i was told by the waitress there that the breakfast hours would be extended until 11a on weekends.So I guess we were lucky to have more than enough time..earlier on we were rushing to the restaurant coz we thought that we would nt have enough time to have our breakfast.Then,we went up to Level 8 for a walk at the pool side.Again,snapped some pics at the pool side...xabis2 amik gambar kat pool eh?i dunno why,just like to be around the pool area...

We left the hotel at 12p..Overall,we had a nice stay at Le Meridien..If I were be given a chance to stay at the hotel again,I definitely stay again for a longer period of time.

Thanks Geline for the invitation and voucher and also to all Le Meridien staff,thanks for the outstanding hospitality and services. (I know they do not read this,it was just my personal thanks & appreciation to them).

Ohh..some of the pics at Le Meridien. (to be upload soon)

Goodbye....

Today is my last official day. Before I left the office today, I have send out a goodbye note to all people I have involved with in PwC for the past 4 years...

Dear all,

It is time to say goodbye.

It is with mixed emotions that I send this email.

I am grateful for all the experiences I had with PwC in the last 4 years.There are so many dear and memories that I am certainly not able to list them. I would like to highlight my gratitude & sincere appreciation to the following people;

Bosses,
Thank you for the all the guidance, support, insights and help you have provided me during my tenure.

Colleagues,
Thank you and to let you know how I have enjoyed working with you for the past 4 years (or less).

Friends,
Thank you all for your support,patience and friendship. You are a special group of people and I will definitely miss you.

I also would like to apologise for any wrong doings / hurt caused in my dealings with all of you. It is not my intention to do so.

The journey of 4 years has been a very inspiring one. Working with PwC would remain one of the most memorable phases of my life. May our path cross again and I wish you all well in your future endeavours.

Signing off

Fever.. :(

I had fever since 2 days ago..I did not go to a doctor,just took a B'Young supplement instead..until today,I still have not recover.My wicked sore throat had gone but now I am having flu...it's a totally bad flu...Thank God there was some medicine in the fridge from my last appt (last month) with the doctor...I took Actifed for flu and Uphamol for fever..and also Robbitussin for cough..Gosh,medicines?..yikes!! In my whole life, I like to throw away all the medicines that the doctor gave me..reason??I hate medicine and hate being sick!..

I just feel a bit worry coz I will start my new job on Monday and I need to be fit on my first day at work..but until today there is no sign that I will recover soon..hopefully those prescription I took will work out on me.

Need to go to bed...I cant stand the flu anymore..will let those pills take efffect..hopefully I will recover tomorrow..

Lunch@Seoul Garden

I had lunch with colleagues at Seoul Garden,OU today.It was actually my farewell lunch..Arrived there at 1pm..it was soo difficult to find a parking...I had to park at Level 5 @ skybridge,new wing.The idea to have it at Seoul Garden was from Azlan. He told us that the buffet was good since he & family had been there before...unlike me,I never had Korean food before,only watch it in Korean dramas & movies..the only Korean food that I always wanted to try is bean paste stew..but too bad,not available at Seoul Garden..maybe I could search the recipe on the net..

We had been eating and chatting (and a bit of gossiping of course) for 4 hours...we left the restaurant at 5pm.

My thanks to Zaza & Shukran,Azlan,wife & son,Irina,Marina,Akbar,wife & daughter,firah & ashraff and not forgetting my always be favorite buddies, Fahmi & Imran.Even not all of them could make it to the lunch,I did appreciate those who came..

Overall, I had fun guys!! thank you, thank you,thank you....

Here some of the photos taken at Seoul Garden:

focusing on the food...hehe

seorang yang tidak pernah puas dengan makanannya!! :p

more..more...and more

happy face...dah kenyang dah

with lovely colleagues...

I am tired!

I had a busy day today.Well, I've had a relatively busy week since I'll be leaving the firm next Friday..

Well I am so tired rite now. Need to go to bed.need to get some rest..I'll be having a farewell lunch tomorrow at OU.....I'll catch up in tomorrow's blog..

Happy Friday! :>

I heard you are....?

One after another came to me and asked " I heard you are....?

In general it can be; I heard you are pregnant?I heard you went to Le Meridien last wednesday? I heard you are not feeling well? I heard..bla...bla...bla..it can be anything....

but this morning many people asked me this:

" I heard you are resigning...???"

I have to answer this Q like zillion times...and my answer will definitely be long and into details with the hope that they can explain to others as well..

I respected those who came to me and asked abt it,because they heard it from me personally not from others..

At the office today, I was very tight with work...but my resignation really cause a big impact to me personally...the news keep spreading like a virus as you can see in Outbreak movie...It was so fast until you did not realize that your life come to an end...is that so bad??yeah,for me,definitely yes...not am going to die or something,it's just that my earlier plan was to keep my resignation as p & c as possible..but I came to realize that it is so impossible to happen...impossible because there is always CNN or BBC announcing to the world...(hehe,mcm ler haku ni politician or celebrity kan?)

I told one of my manager this morning and she was shocked to hear about my resignation...she told me that she was upset coz I did not told her earlier...I told her the news of me resigning had spread very greatly until I dont have to announce it personally..

[People...People...People] it's not that I dont want to annouce but before I am abt to annouce it people knew it already..so,what's the point of annouce it?...hehe,let others annouce it on behalf of me..
What my brain do today??..scroll down for answer; :>

Later after dinner, we had a chit chat...we did some catch ups;discussing on today's issues and sharing some personal stories..we left for home at around 12:30 am.long chat huh?...hehe,biasa la kalau dah chat mmg sampai ke pagi pon boley..yang penting haku xganggu idup orang okaysss~

By the way fellas,according to my beloved friend Su, Kraftangan will open a booth at Jusco Klang next week and there will be a batik promotion at discounted price.If you are a batik lover,you can see for yourself what kraftangan can best offer you... :>

[Out of topic..], as I was doing some files clean up in my laptop a while ago, I found this cover magazine that my friend,Ikhwan (designer) did for me & nurin.

Complimentary Voucher..

Last Wednesday, I went to Le Meridien hotel in KL Sentral with colleagues. We were invited for a special dinner to celebrate an evening of culinary indulgence by award winning chefs...Le Meridien sent an invitation card to few of us, the member of Starwood hotel 2 weeks ago...we were allowed to extend the invitation to other colleagues and friends..We arrived there at 6:45 p..the event started at 7p and was held at Al Nafourah (Middle Eastern Restaurant)...approx.60 ppl attended..there were many dish prepared for us from middle east to japanese...the event was hosted by Mr Martin, the General Manager of Le Meridien...he briefed about the food for 10 mins before we were invited to have a dinner..I had strawberry & marshmallow with chocolate dip as a starter..then followed by Japanese,middle east,chinese and not to be missed,malay food like satay and ketupat with Kuah Kacang...nothing much I can say about the food,it was great...no wonder they won the award...but I enjoyed Japanese food the most as it always my passion..Hope there will be more invitation for us in the future.

Before we left the hotel,each of us received a complimentary voucher of 2D 1N for 2 in Deluxe room at Le Meridien...I will definitely use this voucher soon..thanks so much to Le Meridien and not forgetting to Ms Geline for putting us in top list of invitation... :>

Arrived home at 10p,took a shower and went to bed...
