Yan Tai ...

Went to Yan Tai, China from 23 to 25 September 2007. My First ever trip to China courtesy of WTO and it was during fasting month! Luckily, the flight was midnight thus managed to enjoy some snacks provided by MAS. I always love flight food, dunno why and can't explain it. Perhaps the packaging!

Anyway, arrived in Beijing really-really early in the morning and have about 5 hours to kill before boarding the next flight to Yan Tai. So I detoured to Beijing!

Time was limited thus constraint myself around Tianamen Square. Capture some beautiful photos though. The weather was fine and the people .... MANY! Full stop.

Before leaving Beijing for Yan Tai, tried to contact a friend of mine in Beijing, Sun Sun, however she was unavailable since she have to go to some other province.

Yan Tai is beautiful. A coastal city. Hotel was infront of the open sea and I got a seaview room which was nice. Unfortunately, rain every night so unable to go anywhere throughout my stay in Yan Tai. Break fast was at 5.50pm and took my Sahur 3.30am which was soooo unusual for me.

Things in Yan Tai:

1. Firecrackers were everywhere and almost everytime. Really!

2. Big vineyard, surprising!

3. Produced good wine (so they said!)

4. Seafood was bloody cheap, RM300 for 11 big dishes!

5. Nobody speaks English in a 5 star Hotel!

Happy Eid Al-Fitr Mubarak!

To all my Muslims friends all over the world, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you Happy Eid Al-Fitr Mubarak! Enjoy the holiday and be safe.

Actually .....

My whole half day gone today. Attended two meetings back to back. In both meetings, I was laughing all the way in my mind simply because the amount of ACTUALLY used by most members of meeting. I'm really fascinated by this because I believe this is truely a Malaysian way and ACTUALLY most of the time, we use the word ACTUALLY at wrong time ACTUALLY. Actually ...

Facebook anyone?

Knew about this thing quite a while ago, but do not really have time to actually explore it. Anyway, I'm in now and I'm really hooked. It was a very good application and I'm loving every minute of it. Managed to get a couple of old friends in as well. Surprisingly, managed to get Locknie, Jake, Eason, Maneka and Michael. I'm very happy! So to those out there who knows me especially all buddies from WTO RTPC Singapore, let's join facebook, here.

Teck Yong came ...

Had dinner with Teck Yong last Thursday. He was in Malaysia for some meeting. If I am not mistaken he did some pretty big thing here in KL but if anyone wants to know, better not come from me. Ask him!

It was very nice to see him after a couple of months. Took him for dinner at Souled Out, Sri Hartamas. The place was so crowded. I haven't had dinner at that place before, normally just lunch. Difficult to get parking as well. Anyway, the food was nice and the conversation was even better. And the chat continued with teh tarik and 5 satays (we were full) at the hawker stall near Ampang International School.

Anybody else wanna come to Kuala Lumpur?
