the whole world is watching malaysia at the moment and everyone i know with a heart is praying for mh370. it is the top news everywhere and on facebook, one can't really ignore it. i have relative of friend who was on that flight, an ex-colleague of a friend who was on that flight, and crew members who are friend of friend. the world is not so big after all.
there is nothing much we can do now, except to pray and hope for the best. waiting is agonizing, what more to the loved ones of those affected. i also keep checking for news update at every opportunity i have and really hope for some news regarding the flight.
i am going to share what i did last week in this post.
last week, i had the opportunity to attend a course in kl for 4 days ......and of all places, they put us all in chow kit!! gosh, how many people have actually been to that area? i have to say it was the first for me! well, now i can say i have been there and i am quite good at using the monorail system.
the drive to kl was a really hazy one. it was really hazy in kl last week but it rained on two days we were there. my friend said i brought the haze with me.
i had the opportunities to catch up with senior i had not met since college days and also go out for a drink with another friend at midnight. gosh...no wonder my eyes were all puffy in the last few days of the course right? shhhhh....
the hotel we were put at- hotel city villa. gosh...this could be the worst hotel i have ever stayed in. the place was infested with baby cockroaches!! i killed seven of them and let 2 escape. i also saw them at the buffet spread area. thank god no one came down with diarrhoea. the rooms were cold as well since the air-conditioning was centralised. i had to sleep with my socks on....and one stupid thing was- it never occured to me to ask for an extra blanket. really dumb!!! no one asked. haiz...stupid really!
finding the hotel was also quite a task. many got lost but luckily, i managed with the help of waze. phew! the only good thing about this hotel was its close proximity to chow kit monorail station. it was just at the junction of this road.....so off i went on the monorail everyday at every opportunity i had.
the staircase leading to the lobby from level 3 car park. yup, no lift from the carpark. it's like the clock has been turned back right??
the hazy situation from the room...and the twin towers not far away.
the blanket and sheets were really thing.....that two layers could not keep me warm at all.
there was no flat screen tv. it was just a small one still with antenna attached. really antique.
i scooted off to kl sentral on the first day itself to meet my senior and got a free power bank from it. it was a really sleek one. hence, my trip to see sentral all the way from chow kit was not a waste.
as for the other days.....3 days in a row!!! this was where i got off:
bukit bintang. so what did i do there?? shopping lah what else? i also went to get myself a hair wash in lot 10. the water from the shower in the hotel was only a trickle and i couldn't imagine how long i would be standing under the shower to wash my long hair. so what the heck, i need a little pampering, hence the hair salon trip.
lounge bottom to keep me warm
went to h&m twice. now i know where i can get my knee-length skirts for work. the fit me perfectly as if they were tailored for me. haha...so i couldn't resist when i found 3 in different materials and colours. also got myself a linen pants...yeah....nice. no need alteration. the length is just right.
a linen jacket but am not sure if this is appropriate for work since they emphazised on black and dark colour suits.
below: a thinner jacket....a single layer one. this is for not so cold moment during work....in the shade of brown.
after a beautiful and glamourous blow dry session at the salon. i really love the blow and i think i am going to perm my hair this way soon, when i have enough time to sit at a salon for a perm session. these big curls suit me to a T ;)
on the last day, i went to klcc before heading back to bidor....but again, i had to make my way to pavilion for lunch with my friend. so i parked my car at klcc and walked all the way to and fro pavilion. phew!
too bad isetan's member sales did not start on thursday. it only started on friday! haiz....just one day away. anyway, i still managed to get some stuff.
that heart thingy is a tape dispenser haha....am so happy to have found it since i saw it in the newspaper during valentine's day. this is a tape dispenser with a difference.
got myself a yearly planner at typo. actually a kid wanted me to help her look for one...and in the end i got 2. one for her, and one for me. it was only rm5. of course i have done some modifications on the cover.....stickers have been pasted on kate moss' face because i don't feel like looking at her when i do my daily planning activity on the planner. sorry kate.
kiehl's products. one jar of moisturiser for mom and the rest are mine. have to put stock in tm and also in bidor. gosh...kinda troublesome when you have two places which you call your bases.
another pair of flats from charles and keith. i really like the height of the heels so i guess i will be scouring charles and keith from time to time to get flats in different colours and designs to match my clothes. they are quite comfortable as well. phew!
picked my aunt's birthday gift from la mer. i wonder when she will be able to get her hands on them haha.
and finally, a vga adapter for my macbook so i can connect it to projector for presentation. yeah! now i can fully utilise my macbook for work. phew! and i thought i had to buy another notebook when i first got my new job.
so i only left klcc at 5pm on that last day....and of course was caught in the jam at duta tol. sucks!!
but once i passed the hill in front, it was smooth driving all the way. phew! what a course. i think i had most fun in bukit bintang and not in chow kit.
my friend also picked me up in chow kit and we went for our midnight drink at changkat bukit bintang. and that night, i slept slightly better due to the after effect of taking 2 margaritas. yummy. it helped me to fall asleep fast, but i still woke up when the body could not stand the cold air-conditioner.
it was a good break in kl.
it is back to work this week.
oh, my taylor swift concert tickets have arrived. they are worth something now eh since all tickets were sold out in 30 minutes. was really happy with my deft hands at buying them as soon as they went on sale.
no new rubber band colours to show this week. urrghhh...those bands are taking forever to reach me!! all my clients are growing impatient!! haha....i don't want to lose them of course....the excitement has to continue.
anyway, i have made 3 of these using the existing colours and they ain't bad at all right? so colourful.
ok...time to head back to the office now. remember to pray for mh370.
