Company Trip to KK

On the 5th February, 2010, our company has sponsored us to go for a company trip to KK. The main reason why we have this trip is to celebrate my boss 50th birthday. My lady boss said wanted to make the celebration special as it is his 50th and only birthday in his lifetime. So she has proposed this trip to our boss early october. At first, we thought the trip is not gong to work because our boss and our lady boss have been quarelling for a quite a long time just for this trip. I think it is because to sponsor all the staffs to go for this trip, it will cost a lot. As you know, my boss is quite calculative and stingy especially if anything concerns money. But then don't know how and when he seems to be accepted the trip and there we goes for the trip. To tell the truth, majority of us don't feel like going at all because we know the trip is not going to be fun and would be quite stressful......

5th February, 2010, Friday

Our flight is at 2.00 pm in the afternoon so we still have to work half day in the morning till 12.00 pm today. I guess most of us wasn't in the mood to work too and I was wondering why we have to work half day at all and it will be quite rushing for us to get to the airport later. After work, I went directly back home and have a quick lunch then rush to the airport. We arrived at KK around 2.30 pm as we get on the plane quite early, not as the scheduled time. All of us, 15 of us (my boss, his wife, his mother, two sons and a daughter, my lady boss, and we all 8 staffs, waiting at the main entrance of the airport for cars to bring us to the hotel for checking in. So this is not a well planned trip so we got a bit problem with the transport thing but in the end everything has sorted out. Checking into the hotel called NOVATEL HOTEL situated in the same building with this new opened shopping mall, ONE BORNEO in KK. Me and my senior clerk shared a room. The room was ok and all that, quite comfortable and classy but i knew tonight i can't even have a good sleep at all. After that, we went to have some tea with our boss at a coffee shop called IPOH TOWN COFFEE SHOP. Drinking this stupid coffee, mixture of tea and coffee that makes me feel so uncomfortable and feel like vomiting. Then at night having dinner at a seafood restaurant called PORTVIEW RESTAURANT, eating lots of expensive seafood such as prawn, fish, clam and more. But I can't even finish my bowl of rice as I am not feeling good after drinking that stupid coffee. I guess I can't drink coffee at all. After dinner, we went to the nightlife in KK. Went to a pub where there is live band performance. Drinking beer, listening to the singing, it was really suffering. The smell of the cigarrette makes all my hair so smelly and it was so noisy too. I thought this is it and then we can go back to our hotel then but then they went to another pub again which is even worse. There are a few dancer who perform this pole dance but....nothing special about it as they are only dancing like normal around the pole. I was thinking of seeing something like they are spinning from the top of the pole to the bottom of the pole but none. That place is even worse, more noisier and boring too. My boss is having his 50th birthday celebration there where all the people there sang the birthday song for him and even the dancer invite him to dance with them which he really did and my lady boss was dancing like crazy and a few of my colleague too. A few of us just sit there like a fool seeing them enjoy themselves and keep on wondering, what is so fun about this. I feel like we are here just for work, as if we are the PR lady accompanied our boss to go out for drinking. The celebration goes till 1.30 am at night then finally we could get back to our hotel room. One of my colleague is even drunk till collapse. We have to carry her back to the car. That night was a tough night, I didn't even sleep at all as I really miss home, my bed, my hubby and my son too.

6th February, 2010, Saturday

I wake up quite early this morning just to call my hubby to wake my son from sleep. He is having replacement class today and have to go to school today. So I am the alarm to wake them up and after that I couldn't sleep anymore. Watching TV till 9.oo am until me and my senior feel so hungry. So both of us went down to the shop and have breakfast at the same coffee shop we have coffee yesterday. Well then all the others came and meet us up and have breakfast with us. After the breakfast, then it is really our free time. We all go shopping in ONE BORNEO. Me and my colleague spend half day to finish wandering the whole area of ONE BORNEO and found out that there is not much thing to buy at all. The things are so expensive and not worth it at all. But I did buy something for my hubby and son as I have promised them I would buy them something. Buy clothes for my hubby and toys for my son. Then have pizza with our lady boss then went back to our hotel room for resting. At night, having dinner at the restaurant in our hotel. Having buffet dinner and the food was horrible. Then tonight, we all went back to sleep early as our flight is at 7.00 am tomorrow.

7th February, 2010, Sunday

Yeah, finally can go back to Miri, wake up at 5.00 am to get ready to go back. Arrived Miri around 8.20 am.....that's all for our KK trip. Tiring and boring.

Unforgetable New Year Eve

Last night was New Year Eve. I was very excited because finally year 2009 has come to an end and another new year is coming. I really hope that year 2010 will be good for me. Hopefully anything that i couldn't done in 2009 can be accomplish in this year. But this New Year Eve was a day that I think I would remember most in my life. Last night, we were planning to see my hubby's friend to play the fireworks at midnight. I have already told my son early yesterday that he has to take a nap in the afternoon so that that night he can stay late to see the fireworks. But after work, he followed his auntie together with cousin to their house and play until around 8.00 p.m. something. When my son was back, he was so tired and exhausted so I have no choice but to ask him to sleep early tonight. So I put him to sleep around 10.00 p.m. After he has slept, me and my hubby went out to have our supper because it has been a long time since both of us have eaten chicken chop. So around 11.00 p.m. we were still enjoying our chicken chop and we received a phone call from my hubby's sister. She said his son was admitted to the hospital because his arm has broken. Suddenly, we have no appetite to eat more and rushed to the hospital to see what was the condition. When we reached the hospital, our nephew was crying because of pain and the doctor said he has broken two of his bone at his left arm. He has to be admitted immediately to the hospital to do the small operation on his arm. It's not those kind of surgery that needed to cut his arm. Only to pull back his bone to its original position and have to bandage it and wear a sling for quite a long time. Then we spent our New Year Eve at the hospital, waiting for everything is ok then we left. The reason that he has broken his arm is because he climbed the table at his house and maybe when he wanted to come down, he has lose control and didn't step on anything and just fell from the table. Can you imagine a 4 to 5 year kid have to suffer this kind of pain? We are very pity of him. Luckily my hubby is around there, because they need somebody to carry the kid up and down the staircase. This is really the most unforgetable New Year Eve I have ever experienced.

Merry Christmas 2009!

This year before Christmas, Kelven has took a few photos with the Christmas tree in the mall around miri. (First photo: Boulevard Shopping Mall, Second & Third photos: Imperial Hotel)

Eventhough we are not Christian but we seems to follow a bit of their culture. A week before Christmas, we have bought a Christmas tree (medium size) and the ornaments to be decorated on the Christmas tree. Luckily we didn't spend so much on the tree because now within RM50 you can buy a tree and the decoration too at the Super Save Store (the shop that sold things very cheap mostly made in China). So on the same day, we decorated the tree, me, my hubby and my son spend the whole night hanging the ornaments on the tree and to our surprise, the tree looks really nice eventhough it was loaded with too much ornaments.

WITH LIGHTS

Last night was Christmas Eve, we didn't really celebrate it but the kids at home are having fun in exchanging presents at home. Seeing the kids so happy makes you happy too. Sometimes I wonder, wasn't it good if I could become a kid again?

Wedding Dinner

On 11th day of December, 2009, I have attended my office lawyer's wedding dinner at the Imperial Hotel Grand Ballroom. The food was nice and the wedding was not boring too. I guess they have spent quite a lot on hiring the people for performance such as singing, belly dancing, magic show and so on. I didn't stay till the end of the dinner wedding dinner but I still can say that the food was nice.
