Shell Annual Dinner@KL Hilton follow by Poppies

Its about time I blog again.. been busy busy busy. Yeah, so the theme for the annual dinner was PIRATES!!!

Well, only permenant staff was invited to go, but some of my colleagues wife didnt want to go and there were a few empty spaces and voila..free makan!

It was soo cool to see so many people actually were sporting enough to adhere to the theme. I wish I could too but i just found out about it the day before about and empty slow. Oh well.

This is what the stage looks like. Its kinda amazing they actually built half a ship just for the event.

This is what the table setup looks like. We had free flow of beer and the chinese food was great. First time i actually liked hotel food. Everything was so fresh. Hilton should get me a cut for commenting on their good food since the dim sum post. The waitress at my table was so damn efficient, you get everything you want and straight away and she never fails to return a smile. Ok clearly KL Hilton should have this kinda service, all the others should follow suit.



Me and Josephine. I like your dress la..its nice laa stop saying u look to mature or old in it..ishh.


A game of being tied and trying to tie a scarf around your team mate using anything but your hands. Thats Zairi in purple paired with Azrin. Look kinda scandalous from other angles..im sure everyone thought that it was Zairi's baby. hehe


Josephine, Raj and me. Raj won best costume for the night. He had too many beers and was fumbling all over the stage during the parading of his costume..it was hillarious..hahhhaa..effects of free flow of beer and when you put an indian next to alcohol.. you get a drunk person, duh






Where the hell was poppies at?

After the dinner, sl and i decided to head down to poppies to have some time off and chill. For those of you reading this and know you ffk...i dont blame you guys because i told you in kinda...ok very short notice. Anyways hope to see you all sometime again. Ok ok pictures.

Here's a great looking picture of sl and soo chee. hahahaha. Ahem*




Finally a decent picture with sern liang. Its been fun spending time with you. Glad distance didnt change anything. Its going to be sad leaving you behind again..i guess ill just have to stick with JC. hahahhaa. Thanks for still being a great bro.





From rags to riches story.

Anyway, the story was like this. Knowing that paying cover charge and buying drinks wasn't really cheap..so we decided to to buy a bottle and keep (me and sl) for next time. The bottle costs 280. Bot of us had just about enough money for it.. then the girl said that she forgot to charge the mixers which was 11 bucks..so that brings us t a spanking total of 291..which we were 7 dollars short (sl had 1 and i had 3 dollars). We shyly took back our 280 and asked the girl where the nearest atm was.."down the road turn left". So we walked from poppies to hong leong bank 2 blocks away AND..all their ATMs were temporarily out of other.. all 10 of them. GREAT.
On the way to the bank, we saw police fighting with a few guys next to their patrol car and km told me that there would be roadblocks. So we were now skeptical about going to poppies.

So with out minds all set to go home, we decided to at least have a drink at a mamak before heading back in dissapointment. Decided to tell soo chee and her friends that we had no money.
Before leaving we met up with her and her friends. So after telling her our sympathetic story. She brought is in for free through the backdoor after being labelled VIP on our hands. OMG...from depressed to happy.. mix emotions. We even got a table..not exactly a table la..but we were happy, coz you know poppies is packed and we were sharing with her friends.

Somehow at the end of the day, things will end up fine, always?
