I’m back at my hometown for the g Hotel Annual dinner and for the first time in months I managed to get a good 7-hour sleep last night after our H-Factor Penang Chapter meeting (pics up tomorrow *wink*). I am now feeling refreshed and ready to roll! Haha. And thanks to Mr. Marco Battistotti, Dev and the team at g Hotel, I feel so comfy and at home. Upon arrival I received a personally written welcome card by the big man of g Hotel Mr. Marco himself followed by the signature g Hotel welcome ice-cream (yeah!) and then an introduction to the Executive Suites on the 19th floor. Check it out… *wink*
the view of Gurney Drive from the 19th floor *smile*
study/living area (study table not visible in this pic)
panda's sleepy-time area... haha
see-thru bathroom hehe
iPod player
bundled with love... *smile*
My support team Manager Leonard said he had problems deciding where to sleep in his room because it was so big. *laugh* I especially appreciated the complimentary broadband access, iPod player and rubber ducky (apparently the most popular item to be stolen by hotel guests! *laugh*) most. *smile* Oh and the shark fin soup at their Chinese restaurant Sesame & Soy is probably one of the best I’ve tasted. Less than RM40 and you get a whole chunk of REAL shark fin, scallops, another chunk of crab meat and a base of steam egg in 1 bowl. Yum-meeeee! If I’m Penang again the next time I actually WOULD go back there just for the shark fin, a winner. *grin*
the winner! haha
Definitely looking forward to spending a weekend or so OFF work here again before the year ends, if ever that’s possible… *laugh* We’ll see. It’s amazing how much 7 hours of good sleep can do and I believe being away from KL once in a while can do me some good. *laugh* Of course, having a nice bed like the one I slept in last night plays a big part too. *laugh* g Hotel will definitely be my number 1 choice for the next trip up north. Happy happy panda. Hehe.
I’m gonna try and hit the sack before 2am today and try to get my second consecutive 7-hour therapeutic sleep. Ahhh… nite nite guys! Oh and keep 20th December free from 2 – 8pm k. Limited tickets. Hehe. Keep you guys posted on the details soon. Mwah~
I’ve been meaning to share these pics with you but didn’t have the chance to put them up. Sowie… During the TIFFCOM week in Japan, my friends from MDeC Adam and Michelle together with my new friend Yuki San of TBS Japan were so sweet as to organize a cake for me after our work assignments one evening. And since it wasn’t appropriate in Japan to bring in outside food (i.e. my birthday cake) into a restaurant, we had to think out of the box and this is where we landed thanks to the 2 creative and VERY thoughtful gentlemen…hehe
I felt like the luckiest birthday girl because I had the most amazing view of Tokyo city in the background of my yummy strawberry shortcake. Haha. It was simply beautiful. The strawberry shortcake AND the view of course…! *laugh* And although my candles didn’t stay lighted for too long thanks to the breezy evening, I had the most memorable pre-birthday surprise in Japan. Thanks Adam, Michelle and Yuki San for making it a night to remember. You guys are the sweetest!!!! *grin*
I’ve got a Nooka!!!! *big-grin* One of the coolest timepiece accessories you could ever get. Check it out! *grin*
Unlike conventional watches this one looks more like a fashion accessory than a timepiece. Each dot represents the hour and the bar at the bottom represents the minutes! Mwahaha~ There are different designs in different materials to match your individual style and personality, and I thought this gold one looked best on me. I feel like a million dollars now. *laugh*
Haven’t been out much so I just discovered the H5 (Hannah 5? Haha) store as I was heading to a meeting at BangsarVillage before my recording session this afternoon. Lotsa other non-conventional cool stuff there like designer toys etc. but basically everything there is quite affordable yet very unique and artsy. Special. My style… hehe.
Well, the best part is you can get a Nooka for as low as RM500++. So you MUST check it out – Bangsar Village II (opposite Delicious, beside B&O and Warehouse). *wink* Let me know what you think! Hehe.
Heading up north to Penang tomorrow for G-Hotel’s Annual Dinner and to meet our new H-Factor Satellite club heads, so Penangites, brace yourselves for the wrath of the panda! Mwahaha~ *evil-laugh* Hahaha. Don’t forget FAMILY HOUR at the Living Room Chatroom this Friday k… Will send you love from Penang in my next post. Mwah~
Emerge Rising in collaboration with City Care organized a very inspiring community service event today, treating the kids at Precious Home to an afternoon of fun and laughter at Bubba Gump Sunway Pyramid together with the Emerge Pageant finalists. I was honoured to be invited to share the afternoon with them although I didn’t get to stay for long. My producer and I sneaked out of our 1st studio session to gate crash the party but had to rush back in less than an hour thanks to the traffic jam! *laugh* Felt so bad and really wished we could stay longer…
Today was a really productive day at work and I can’t wait for my next studio session tomorrow. After that it’s the Penang invasion!!! Mwahaha~ *evil-laugh* Hahah. Can’t wait! On and THIS MONTH’s FAMILY HOUR is set for this Friday (13th November) @ 9pm Malaysian time. See you guys at the Living Room chatroom then ya! *wink*
Hope you guys are having a FAN-TABULOUS weekend, whether at home or work. *smile* My mum called me this morning to let me know she’s baking me a homemade muti-grain loaf of bread in Kuching. Should be receiving it tomorrow when Gloria gets back to KL. Fingers crossed! Haha. Speak soon guys! xxx
Friday – my favourite day of the week! Hehe. Don’t quite know why, but I enjoy working on the weekends more than I do at the beginning of the week. *grin* And today was an exceptionally special Friday for me. I had a real treat – lunch with a really good friend of mine, Jennifer (whom I haven’t seen in donkey years!) and her friend Reza.*smile* She looks fab as always and although we didn’t have much time to catch up (I had to run to my next work assignment after the quick lunch), it definitely made my day. So happy!! *smile* Oh and thanks for paying for lunch Reza! *grin*
Yesterday was my final presentation to the approval committee for the MDEC Pre-Seed fund my team and I applied for 2 months ago (also one of the reasons why I haven’t been sleeping lately *laugh*) as well as the recording session for the Alamaya animation movie. The recording session was fun-filled, and I had a ball with the voice acting, thanks to the animation’s creative team *grin* I play a really cute ‘hybrid’ creature, so you go figure! *laugh* The MDEC presentation on the other hand was a nerve-wrecking one! *laugh* Never felt more nervous in my life! *laugh* I reckon performing on stage would’ve been less stressful for me. Seriously!! *laugh* But…guess what?! I received an email from MDEC today to tell me that my team had made it! We got the grant! Woohooooo! I thank God for being so gracious. *smile* I’m so so so soooooooo happy and relieved, you cannot imagine!! *grin* Well, next step would be to put the plan in motion so keep a lookout for something in Q3 2010. *wink*
I’ll be saying hello to Penang next week. Yay! Penang, brace yourself for the wrath of the panda! Mwahaha~ *evil-laugh* Hopefully I will be able to get some sleep on Sunday night to shave off my panda eyes… *laugh*
Another exciting day to look forward to tomorrow so gonna try and get the urgent work matters cleared and out of the way soon so that I can get some rest tonight. Been up for too long that even coffee and energy drinks can’t fight. *laugh*Rest well guys. Enjoy the weekend! *grin* Love you guys!!! Mwah~
