Was attending the Incident Response & Management – Response, React, Recover workshop at Melia Hotel, KL on 28th Feb to 1st March with a colleague. I left for KL on 26th and stayed at Cititel, Midvalley… first was planning to stay at Melia itself, but decided to stay at MV for shopping convenience… 😛

When attending workshop or course outstation, food is the best part… so I was whacking the Japanese food at MV and lucky enough the Melia hotel provided Japanese food for the workshop too… 😀 So lucky…

But since I’m staying quite far from the venue, I have to wake up early… like 6am… and surprisingly I woke up easily… took taxi to Melia from MV. On the 1st day, I reach there quite early… before 8.30am… and I thought the workshop start at 9am… but actually it start at 8.30 😛

Somehow, the workshop was not what I expect but still beneficial… I was planning to attend the workshop so that we can device some standard operation procedures (SOP), documentations, etc… for reference when handling incidents… but this is more than what I expect… in fact this is more for preparation from the very beginning so that corporate, management, staffs, etc. are prepared way ahead before incident happen…. but I’m more on what to do after incident… 😛 Well I guess I just treat this as Corporate Strawberry Gifts… I spend most of my time after the workshop at 5pm eating and shopping… 😛 I went there with 13.3kg and came back with 24.1kg luggage… 😀

Chinese New Year just over a week ago… there are all kind of feelings… some said it was quite… some said it was fantastic… well, sure it depends who said it… as for me, it was noisy but I had a bad cough… not really cough but wheezing lung… it started 3 days before the CNY… lucky I did not experience any bad sore throat although I was coughing quite bad till I can taste blood in my throat on the second day of the infection. As usual, I try not to take any medicine other than Vitamin C… I was consuming about 2000mg of Vitamin C every night… and I guess it really helps although my lung was wheezing every night… but it’s almost gone now 😀

Food… yea, food… foods are everywhere… fresh and junk… was eating tons of pork, duck, chicken, lamb… even after the long public holiday, there are still foods served… in the office… on Tuesday, the QS section treat the whole office with CNY lunch… lamb… lamb… lamb… yea I just wack the lamb… then tomorrow, our section gonna have CNY lunch at Hyatt… weeeee… lamb… lamb… lamb… again… 😀 I think my tummy has gone up 1 or 2 inches… 😛 gonna need some adapexin-p to burn all those belly fats… and I have not visited the gym since my last visit in November last year… 😛 Hope to get back on track soon… coz the junk in the containers are evil… I’m like an addict… after dinner, I will automatically reach for the containers and grab… grab… those junks… 😛

Last Saturday, our boss… err… our office had a dinner at Kampung Nelayan Restaurant, Bukit Padang. This is the first time our office had a get together dinner… We supposed to be there around 7.30pm… but I only manage to sit at around 8pm… that place is super pack… can’t find parking space… made worse with the arrival of the tourist… about 5 or 7 stage bus… I have to do a few circle to find a parking… lucky someone went out and I took over the parking space. When the food stated to arrive, everyone were happy… all are hungry… appetite suppressants is the last thing anyone will think of… the food are wonderful… the food almost not enough for all of us… each time a dish arrive, it will be gone in a few minutes… everyone are hungry like a dinosaur… and karaoke is one of the fun part… but I don’t know how to sing, so I just take photos… 😀

Eid Mubarak… Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri… To all my Muslim relatives and friends.

As usual, each time religious or cultural festivals are celebrated here in Malaysia… there will be many open houses.

When there are open houses, there will be plenty of foods… 😀

There will be all kind of foods for the celebration… traditional foods like Malay foods, Indian foods, Chinese foods… and not forgetting the ethnic food especially in Sabah… will make the celebration more meaningful.

In conjunction with the Hari Haya, there will be 2 days public holidays… 20th and 21st September… Sunday and Monday… but since the first day of Hari Raya falls on Sunday, Tuesday is also declared as public holiday 😀

People will only be back to work on Wednesday… but too many public holidays is bad for business but good for the people to have long leave and to enjoy for a while.

Three days of holidays to enjoy foods will surely make lots of people gain extra baggage… 😀 so to those who can’t resist their appetite when they see the rendang dodol, kari kambing, ketupat, kuih muih… better get some appetite suppressants 😛

OK people, enjoy the holiday and enjoy the foods 😀 and don’t worry, just eat… the food are there to be eaten, don’t waste them… 😆

Like my friend said… have fun and eat eat eat alot 😀 😀 😀
