the girlie weekend

one of the things that i lurve about being in PR/Corp Communications are the perks that come with the job. free this and that. complimentary this and that. trial this and that. especially when you work for an organization like mine, overseeing and playing boss to a dozen of other moneymaking companies that are so so eager to please us. it sure does have it perks.

last weekend was probably one of my favorites. cyberview resorts and spa - a six star resort invited us over to stay the night as part of their client appreciation thingy. knowing that they are one of the best spas in Malaysia, of course i didn't say no. i took my colleague with me. i knew how much she wanted that spa session.

if you've been to inside their rooms, you will know how impressive it is. being in the center of an MSC city, every room is equipped with a flat screen pc with internet connection. not that i want to be connected to the real world when im hiding out here. flat screen tv, two kings sized beds, sofa, a pantry, balcony equal to the size of the room. i love it love it love it!!!!!

dinner was at the tree haus bar, breakfast was at the verandah restaurant, lunch was at xing zhu for dim sum. totally pampered!

the spa session was so heavenly. we opted for the Balinese massage which usually costs about RM140++ per session. i picked the halia aromatherapy oils to go along with the massage and halia tea before and after the session. we were also served a cold pudding after the massage. after sitting by the pool for a while we headed to the sauna for 15 mins until we were half-baked and dripping sweat then jumped into the jacuzzi and just sat there till we pruned. ha-ha.

left the place with a bagful of goodies and a prize from the Christmas gift exchange session. initially i won a silver and pearl candle-holder which i changed for a pillow. I so badly wanted a goose-feather pillow more than anything else. More than anything else! My sleep is now soooo super bliss. Goose feather pillow rocks.

so that's about the most exciting thing that happened to me last week. other interesting stuff that were free;

1. a complimentary friday lunch plus shoulder massage by shangri-la. took 3 of my gfs with me
2. a complimentary buka puasa by shangri-la. took D with me.
3. TGIF dinner with tonnes of fun by shangri-la. took 2 of my girls with me. won a one-hour spa session and a complimentary stay at the executive suite plus three course dinner during the lucky dip.
4. last time i received 50 tix to watch tun razak. but it was a musical which was a bit boring. i may (if i get tix) go watch natrah this weekend. maybe. got wedding in bentong la. see how.
5. a cocktail party by pullman putrajaya.

and yesterday D bought for me two handbags. i was waiting for him at the ATM when i glanced through a window display of handbags. when he came nearer i stabbed my finger at the window, pointing at a snakeskin bag and said to him,

babe, i nak yang tu?
mane? jom masuk i beli untuk you.
really?
yeah, why not?

when we went in, i requested for both the snakeskin bag and the leopard print bag. trying to decide which one was nicer, i held both up

babe yang mane lagi cantik
hmm.. amik la dua2
really?
amik je. takpe.

and my terrible, terrible migraine went away.

Birthdays

Happy Birthday Mummy. I love you the mostest.

Penulis Skrip

Minute i got in saw an email from boss, please do emcee script i want to be emcee. Fantastic.

Yesterday D called at 3.45 am. Asked me if I was in bed yet. I was half awake (half asleep?) and he was on his way back home from work. i think he works very hard. all the time he was at work, i had come home, sent clothes to the laundry, bought take out dinner, watched two episodes of survivor, tidy the house a bit, hung out with my sister02, made her mee sedap, drove to my mom's and watched one more episode of survivor and sleep. and all the time he was still at work.

i don't think anything can hold my attention for that long. even diner dash.

left for work today, mom and papa still not working. Man, this sure sucks. Konon-konon i wanted to fast today, then i came to the office and was reminded on email of the lunch that i already RSVPed YES. Okay. Tomorrow it is then. Insyallah.

Peace

Such a silent day. Not many people working today. Still out there with the escaped cows. Probably.

Spent Aidiladha lunching at Basil, Bangsar. Ran into Mummy. She was lunching at Delicious with her sisters.

Saturday went down to Melaka. My youngest Uncle the self made millionaire got married. He married a single mom. Obviously it didn't go down too well with the rest of the tribe. I don't really mind who it is. Not that i spend every weekend with them. I whispered to him right after his akad 'penghujung yang tragis seorang player'. he grinned at me and said 'belum laaggiiii'. whatever that meant.

D wanted to go Jonker St. I've never been there so we navigated with the GPS and went round in circles before finally hitting it. Apela, ade GPS pun pusing-pusing.

It was nice. Probably nicer than Ferringhi's market, but there were no pirated DVDs la. Well, i guess Penang people are smarter when it comes to cheating and claiming what ain't theirs. Smart Pirates.

Sunday morning went to pick up my brother at the airport. On a three month break from his school in Melbourne. Much awaited. His flight arrived at 7am that Sunday. I wouldn't wake up this early on a Sunday for just anyone . :) First thing he wanted was the fantastic nasi kerabu at Gate 1 for brekkie but unfortunately the makcik was still in Raya mode. So his next next choice was mamak. He had two roti telur bawang and teh tarik. like it was the best thing. being a starving student is tough. a starving student in a foreign land probably tougher.

he bought home a huge box and inside was the ps3 with two guitars and drum set. all day it was guitar hero. bising. oh he has an iPhone too. free with the contract they have over there. i take it back, i dont think he is a starving student.

Im spending a night a my mommy's tonite. D is pulling an all nighter at the office.

IPTA

Am currently at UiTM. Participating in a conference and exhibition. People come up to the booth asking all sorts of questions. I just want to hide under the table and sleep. Nasi Lemak Ganja is bad.

Will be back with adventures of Macy's Part II. Lol.

I had a great weekend. Stayed up at night, sleep mostly during the day.

D is on a two day MC. Conjunctivitis. I hope i catch it real soon. Real soon. But not during the weekend.
