Mei Mei in KL!

Mei Mei is down here in KL for almost a week! Yay would be a great chance to catch up :) :) It has been such a long while since we had a chance to hang out..

On the first night we went to Sky Bar.. it was a relaxing evening just chatting and lazing.. enjoying the music and of course, the company!

The following nights we hung out together as much as we could. Went for orchestra at Dewan Philharmonic Petronas and there was also this entire night we spent at Redbox. Yes, 5 solid hours of karaoke!! One of the rare occasions but I had so much fun that night! We started off with some oldies and songs from the 90's (age is catching up).. suddenly I came across Gangsta Paradise.. selected that song and we started rapping the chorus away.. OMG I couldn't believe the craziness in us - was such a stress-relieving night :P We also sang some old songs by Bon Jovi, Linkin' Park etc etc.. haha :P

I'm really glad we had a good few days to hang out together. We used to hang out so much during Sixth Form but since then we had gone on separate paths. Distance may be something that physically separates us but our friendship has always kept us close to the heart :)

*Hugs.. my dear Sui Sui :P*

Putrajaya and Lunch at the Marriott

There are 2 things that I have to sacrifice when it comes to photography - 1) my beauty sleep; 2) I can forget about getting any fairer :( :(

I had tried my utmost best to wake up as early as 6am to get to Putrajaya for sunrise shots.. but it was just impossible due to the late night out I had :(

In the end reached Putrajaya at about 10am.. when the sun was already up and scorching..

Anyway Ju Vynn and I spent about an hour or so out there under the hot sun taking pics. Like I said - that's a sacrifice!! I doubt even SK II can help :(


The mosque at Putrajaya






This is what I do when I run out of things to shoot :P hehe!

The dinner was held at Sheraton Imperial.. coincidently where Ween was staying throughout her 12 days here in KL ;) so after the dinner I joined Ween, Evonne and Suv on the 31st floor ;)

Firm Trip - Bangkok & Pattaya 19 - 22 Jan 2008

The past weeks have been extremely stressful. Guess it was a good thing that this firm trip came along.. a lil' getaway from the stressful routine life. But to be honest I wasn't even really looking forward.. guess I was just too occupied to think of anything.

The night before the trip was a nightmare - working for more than 19 hours! I had to finish a rather lengthy submission before going on holiday.. and was working till 2.30am. Was a relief when I finally stepped out and locked up the office, but to my horror both the entrance and exit of the carpark were locked! The nasty security guards gave me a horrible time, insisting that I produce an authorisation letter before unlocking the gates for me to leave. I was fuming with anger with this absolute absurdity that I had to put up with at this ungodly hour, yet was way too drained to fight - I have had such a longgggg day that all I wanted was to go home and pack. I was this close to calling the police but figured out.. what good are they??!

Never had I felt this helpless and bullied before but there were 2 of them, against me. I hated it when I could not do anything to stand up for myself! But at 3am I finally gave in. I had to go back up to the office and write them a bloody authorisation letter. By then I was already in tears out of frustration.. and I felt bad my mum was worried sick about me - I felt so bad keeping her awake just to wait for me to be home.

I hated those security guards to my bones - as much as I hate to hate anyone!!

I left office at about 3.20am - reaching home in just 15 mins as the roads were empty, save for the clubbing crowd. I began to pack and only had less than an hour of sleep. My body was aching and sore, and my head very heavy. Sigh.. what a way to kick off a holiday :(

..Only hoped it'd get better. Like people say - when you're already at your lowest, it can't get any lower.. so whatever happens can only get better! That's optimitism for a start ;P

Chin Yee was sweet to pick me up from my apartment at like 7am! I felt bad she had to wake up so early for me :( Thanks lots dear!

Was sleeping all the way on the coach from KL Central to the LCC Terminal. Can't get enough of it!

Alright.. let the pics do the talking.. ;)
