Unexpected Shopping Spree

* sigh... * I must stay away from shopping malls! * LOL * Feeling free and wanna savor the opportunity to go shopping on a weekday (no need to rub shoulders with the weekend crowd's madness), went with my mum to Pyramid - as my mum haven't been to the new wing so thought of going over for lunch.

Lunch it was, as well as 4 pieces of clothings, eye masks, a few bottle of nail polish and hair clips in the end! * LOL * Sigh... * Always manage to find good bargain when you have no intention to buy! Memang pantang pergi ke shopping mall ni!

Sweet Bow?

Having much free time now during my unemployment period * :P * and having Christmas just around the corner, I decided I should use it to get all my Christmas presents done. Did this elaborate * er.... should I call it a bow? * :P * decorative accesories * :P * SP, cantik anot my penggunaan bahasa? * LOL * hoping to make my presents look more handsome * hehehe * A lil extra touch to make my beloved ones feel more appreciated * or at least, I hope they do *, with the handmade tingy... * hehehe *

This is where I wanna place it.

Bird's eye view

Will it be a lil too "kua-chong" anot ah? Don't care la! * :P *

Re-used Flowers! LOL

I managed to "kutip" a few flower arrangements during my last day at the event in KLCC. * LOL * Its those fresh flowers people send to congratulate their customers or principals. Most of the time, the exhibitors will not bring the flowers home and leave them there to be thrown away, despite the flowers still in good condition.

Tempted to the core, a few colleagues and myself went around scouting for nice ones to take home * :P * Hey, no one wants them wat! * :P * Better than it ended up in the tong sampah before time right? * hehehe *

For those who are in good conditions, I leave them as they were. For those has withered, I pick out the good ones and rearrange them in a new pot... Here is my "work" * wink *

I like these pink lilies! * :) * Such sweet darlings!

Using the pot I got from the C's for birthday present this year...

Pretty!

Vegan Week Completed!

Hooray! Yippee-yippee-ya-ya! I managed to be a vegan for a week! * Heehee... *

Yup, better believe it, i " buka puasa" this noon with fried chicken! * LOL *

A good experience - challenging to be a completely strict vegan as it is hard to avoid dairy products in almost all kinds of food, especially when eating out. Even a trip to the bakery is difficult to avoid cheeses and chocolate and all.

Oh, I can say that I can do it after all! * LOL *

English Teatime!

* A delayed entry *

We actually went for the English High Tea at Delicious! * muahahahaha! * But too bad WL was in Korea at that time... It was not bad, good presentation, we will actually enjoy it a lot if we werent so tamak in the first place...... * :P *

Why tamak? Well, we met up about 230pm there as the tea starts by 3pm... As usual, being on a lazy Sunday where almost every pig like us sleeps late, we only wake up when the time is near out next appointment after Prince Slumber * wink! * :) * What else hits waking up at the hour where everyone either having or had lunch? Hunger!!! Try we had, but can not resist, and ended up ordering some "light" food, which as usual, ended up over-indulging ourselves! * LOL * And we insist (or was it only me? * :P *) to have the English high tea, so you guessed it, we can not even finish half of the food! * LOL * Pigs...

The 3-tier of wonderful food...

The classic Choc Cake which is simply delicious... Warning - please do share it with someone, though it might look like a serving for one, but the ultra chocolatey taste will set you way too satisfied by the time you reach one half

The 2nd tier - scones and strawberries on stick for the choc sauce! Yay! Lurve the big strawberries!

The bottom tier- scrumptious sandwiches and tarts. We hafta "ta-pau" these - memang one more bite and we will have to vomit. The sandwiches which was actually for our tea, ended up as my breakfast for the next day! * LOL * Memang sedap - the orange-line one is actually salmon sandwich - a thick slice of salmon! All good sandwiches - not those egg and tuna kind okay! The round sandwiches even got a bit of caviar leh! * :P * I simply lurve how they make the sandwiches with one side of white bread followed by wholemeal on the other. Yummy!

Yes, I would recommend this for a lazy, late noon tea with your BFFs - a definite pretty and good food to relax and coax each other to chat away... Just dont take a heavy lunch, or even lunch beforehand! * LOL *

Evidence that we had to "ta-pau"! * LOL * I like their doggy bag a lot - very pretty... * heehee * Yes, WL, will go again with you around this time! * wink *

Last Event at KLCC

A delayed entry about my last job at the events company. I cannot resist but must take a picture of this flower arrangement which the management of the convention centre always use for decoration. By the way, all their flower arrangements, regardless big or small are all beautifully created - lurve them!

I really like how they use one single lily as the main attraction of the arrangement, and fill up the sides with pretty pink carnations. What so fantastic about this is that the lily is powerful enough to scent the room with its fragrance - simply lovely!

And I like their glass container! A simple arrangement that looks so elegant... Must go get a glass like that! * heehee *

I was so "lucky" to be part of the steward for the VIP Escourted Tour, where part of the itinerary was to bring them for lunch at a rather posh restaurant at Suria KLCC. The ambience at the restaurant was good, but the food our kiam-siap boss ordered - puhlease, he might as well don't promise people to provide lunch as the menu he chose was oh-so-memalukan.

It is a Thai cuisine restaurant - those posh kind - and as he is very - lets put it in a nicer phrase - "cost conscious", he ordered a shamefully small plate of stir-fried kangkung, a small plate of stir-fried spicy sotong and a small plate of stir-fried beef slices to be shared by 4 person per table. Notice how I keep repeating the word " a small plate"? Well, the serving for each of the dishes were actually for TWO person, and he expect his VIP guests to share those among FOUR person. Oh, I forgot, there was a small bowl of clear tomyum soup for everyone - like that was a big deal.

THATS ALL FOR THE VIPs - VIPS FOR GAWD'S SAKE! There was not even fruits or agar-agar for dessert, and everyone have a poor ONE glass of iced lemon tea, any additional drink to quench the spiciness will have to be sky juice, despite you are a VIP. Memang memalukan - might as well you dont provide lunch liddat - or at least, organize it at a place that can actually fit into your measly budget where your guest gets satisfying lunch instead of being impressed at first with the posh place but walking out of it later with only one third of their tummy filled.

The very posh restaurant - this is their VIP room. Very nicely set in a Siamese concept - I simply like their drapes - so pweeettty....

The view from the VIP room...

And the clear tomyum soup - which disappointed me with its lack of spiciness - but generously filled with squid and prawns.

Oh well, truly an amazing experience working with a kiamsiap boss yg tak pandai bercakap and tak pandai adapt to situations - come on-lah, other stuff you can cut cost, but to provide such shameful menu to your VIP (who are the media people some more!!!), you are just fishing to get your throat cut off. Where to place your muka, ah? And to actually believe that you had been in the events management line for 10 freaking years - I suppose it is not hard to convince myself that pigs can fly...
