City of Taipei

Hi everyone!

I’m back from all my business trips and what ever thing that has been going on these 2 months. After the last post, I was preparing myself to Taiwan for another exhibition. My first ever exhibition was on Marine industry (just click on it if you forgot) and so this is the 2nd official exhibition that I am handling which is on food industry, Food Taipei 2012. I have a total of 8 companies with me and I was terribly anxious as it is more than my first exhibition.

Before I start telling you my stories, let me kick off with some photos.

I had too much things to carry so there wasn’t much pictures taken after that. When I arrived, I rushed to the bus station and took a direct bus to the exhibition hall so that I could have a glimpse on whether the things are all fully equipped before m clients arrive on the 2nd day (I wouldn’t want to be complained).

After making sure everything was in order, I went to the city to meet up with one of the Malaysian government director as there are some stuffs that needed to be sorted. Right after that, we headed to ShiLin night market with me all sweaty/smelly/disgusting/2 bags. Trust me, it was not fun.

After a night of exciting and tiring experience, I head back to the hotel to take a rest before the storm on the 2nd day.

Here’s a story for you guys. After settling my stuff in the early morning, I had some time on hand and thought if visiting Taipei 101 since it is one of the must do things in Taiwan. After checking the map in my hotel, I realised it is actually not that far from the hotel. According to the map it was only 5km away. So I thought to myself, why don’t I walk there..?? And guess what? I did! It took me about an hour to reach Taipei 101. Weather was awfully hot but it was worth it as it is a new place and a whole new experience for me.

Up up and away! DSC01414

All sweaty but happy that I’ve reached DSC01417

After a day of hard work, of course it is time to chill a bit. Me and some of my clients went to night market to just chillax a little.

By the way! I tried the smelly toufu and it was HORRIBLE!!! and I got tricked into eating it.. ): Client bully me…!!!!

And this is the person that tricked me into eating it!!! Memang like boss la he! DSC01708

That basically is the ending of my Taiwan trip. Most of the days was just spent drinking at night and going back to hotel to rest as most of us are dead tired by the end of the day.

As you can see, there isn’t many photos from Taiwan as I was too busy working and basically didn’t go many places for sight seeing but I met a great group of people in Taiwan and I am grateful enough. Smile 

Till then,

Au revoir

A hectic May

It’s bee n a hectic past few weeks for me. A lot of things to finalize before I fly off this end of the month. Documentation, compilation, calculation, and a lot of things to arrange. It is a learning process though. This is my first job and I would not want to screw everything.

There was an event in Shangri-La the past week and I was there for the whole week helping out. It is definitely something new for me. The event is APEC Business Advisory Meeting. It is basically a meeting for business personnel to sit down in a big group and discuss bout the recent events and issues. A lot of delegates flew in from various countries and it was interesting to see and meet different background people.  All the business men and women are very humble. Even though they are some big shot people but they were not arrogant. They handle themselves so well, so poise, so elegant, and it makes me think of some people that I know, likes to act as if they know everything but actually they know nothing (shame on you).

I shall let the pictures roll in:

We are very well fed in ShangRi-La. Food came in non stop. (still shedding the fats off)DSC01209

Yours sincerelySONY DSC

Secretariat room that we worked in. All the back stage things are here. DSC01225

We have our very own pantry. Free flow of coffee and tea. and FOOD~DSC01223

One thing that I didn’t like about ShangRi-La is their carpet. OMG! It makes me dizzy!

How can this not make you dizzy? DSC01222

The event is 4 days long and it is from morning 7.30a.m – 10 p.m. Dinner was also provided. Due to working most of the time, I didn’t have much time in taking pictures. We had dinner in KL Tower on the first night, Sri Melayu on the second night and KLCC on the third night.

Dinner is served. DSC01243

That’s basically all the pictures that I have for this event. I have to wake up at 5.30a.m every morning and to reach hotel at 7a.m; reaching home at 11p.m every single night. SUPER DUPER UBERLY TIRED but it’s worth it. Not every one gets the opportunity like this.

After the whole event, of course lah I have to relax a little. Since the past few weeks we didn’t have that much time to spend together, we took the weekend off and headed back to Seremban. And by “we”, I mean my other half.

We took Teddie to Lake Garden (the only park that does not have a ‘no dogs’ sign). I guess this is the first time that he walking a dog, and such a tiny little dog. When he is standing next to teddie, he looks like a freaking giant!

See what I mean? DSC01259

“You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?”DSC01253

Teddie can’t wait to go for her walk that she doesn’t even want to look at the camera. SONY DSC

He looks like a girl here. hmmm… btw, teddie was looking at a tortoise I think. SONY DSC
