Halloween

Yet another day for Party-ing. I guess I am slowly being influenced by the Western culture. Hey NO! MALAYSIA is slowly being influenced by the Western culture. Why? Well its all about MONEY my friend. Think about it, clubs, pubs, restaurants has to most business during weekends, and festive seasons. So by embracing and bringing in the Western festive season like St Patrick's day, Halloween, October Fest constantly keeps us in the party mood. VOila! We just had another excuse to party don't we?
Being in the alcohol industry I can see that is that during this season the sales sail sky high. Congratulations Albert~ You just got yourself a few extra million! and Im still stuck with my same old salary! Time to give me an incentive don't you think? Share the love old man =)

Anyhow, I was never a huge fan of Halloween and it was on this same date, I left Great Britain in bound for Malaysia. And its on this date, I touched down back in Malaysia. It has been exactly 1 year. I wonder how did I actually made it through this 1 year. I wonder where I would be exactly one year from now? Where would you be in 1 year time?

Happy Halloween peeps!

Sun, Sand, Sea

With my recent company trip to Kuantan, I hereby mark the beginning of many trips to come! Woooot! Well, it was not my first time to Kuantan but my last trip was ages ago and I pretty much forgotten what was Kuantan like. Slept like a baby throughout the 3.5 hours journey which really was the effect of staying up late with ma mates at a pub the previous night. =P

Arrived at Kuantan around 11.45am and manage to check into Hyatt Regency Hotel at noon~ Just in time to feed the noisy stomach of the whole team which has started growling like a lion. The view of the sea was beautiful, I did try my best to imagine that the sea water was crystal clear. But I failed~ Nevertheless, the smell of salt water filled my nostrils and the soft breeze hit my face. As I was enjoying the buffet lunch, I sat there in awe and enjoyed the magnificent view of the sea. The sun was hanging right up high, the clouds were shy revealing the baby blue sky. I allowed myself to seat a little longer at my seat eating ice cream. It was a really hot day.

I spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying the gym facilities, the swimming pool and of course team building with my colleagues. It is a great way to increase the bonds and relationships between employees which is really the purpose of the trip. Hah! Well before I know it night fell as we gathered for a sumptuous BBQ dinner. A wide array of prawns, stingrays, steaks, chops was being served and when such a feast is prepared the only thing missing was alcohol. Boy oh boy~ we had brought some great wines both white and red to be consumed and I can practically see everyone loosen up after cheers-ing a few round. I have lost track of how many crates we finish but we really did drank alot~ Well not so much for me but our company store personnel and drivers were downing the wines and followed by whisky. Salute!

I grabbed my favorite white wine and made my way down to the beach. I sat on the beach alone with a glass of wine enjoying the beautiful display from mother nature. It was perfect~ perhaps its the wine that made everything flawless. It was a full moon and the reflection of the moon on the sea was bedazzling! I mean really!! It was for a moment the sea was filled with zillions of diamonds shining. NO I wasn't drunk! Just a little "happy" ...

A pity~ a companion would have made everything perfect...
