Shopping Spree + X-night Gala Dinner

7 Jan 2010

Shopping at tHe Spring! Tomorrow night, 8 Jan is our company dinner... Hubby wanna dressed following the theme for the night. We headed straight for our fav store, Parkson.

So, 1st up was the jacket. He tried on the double-breasted jacket & it was a perfect fit. As hubby's don't have a black pant, he wanted to go CASUAL, as in jeans & loafer with the jacket. But since we were already there, I gave him the Bonia pants to try as well & it was just perfect too... not like the ones we tried earlier on. So... if we get the pants, it means we have to get a black shoe as well bcoz his shoes sudah RIP. It was getting late, we don't want to walk around anymore, so hubby just went over & picked a Bonia Leather Shoe... luckily there were discounts, or else we would have to pay ~RM9xx.

8 Jan 2010

Our company dinner, was held at Borneo Convention Centre. Master Yet was so kind to pick us up. YES to car pool! The theme of the night was Casino Royale (James Bond Movie) & the official color for the night was Black, Red & Gold. When I saw the way the COO & HR Director was dressed, quickly I pushed hubby over to take a photo with them. COO is the one standing in the middle. Make me wanna sing " Long pang! Long lau!" when I see the photo hahahahhah... Hubby looking very smart, making yesterday shopping quite worth it lar... Me? well I can't fit into my dress **sob sob** (certain "place" storing too much fat), so the last minute I had to search high & low for a stretchable black shirt & skirt to match hubby.

The venue was very grand... spacious & the decor was elegant. Food was ok lar... but we din really enjoyed the dinner as the lights was turned off quite frequently when the stage performance was goin on. Hard to eat when u can't see the food!

Overall it was a FUN night... it's not frequent ppl dressed to the nines le...

Damai Puri Resort & Spa

As a post birthday treat, a mini-get-away was planned. We arrived ~2pm @ Damai Puri Resort & Spa. I stood around for ~15 minutes before it was my turn and it was only 1 person ahead of me. I've never evar took so long in checking-in to a so-called 5 STAR hotel. The staff took quite a while checking my booking. Then after wasting another 10 minutes of my precious time, I was informed the hotel was fully booked yesterday, so we cannot checked in until 3pm if we want a clean room. So I request for a upgraded room, from Superior Rainforest-view room to a Deluxe Sea-view Room... and got it... huuuuurraaaay

While the cleaning lady do their job, we found our self a good spot under these coconut trees...
Armed with 2 bottle of cold Spritz, a pack of cool grapes...

plus some magazine, and we are set.
Let me show you a virtual tour of the place...

Le's us start with the pool. There are 2 swimming pools...

This is the infinity pool.

If I got ji-pa-ban X 20 , I wan this pool at my home

The Jacuzzi area at the end of the swimming pool...


This is the Kid's Pool.... got water slides le but the pool water very shallow, I don dare to try, later my bum-bum pecah...

Yea.. it sux as I got HAZY view of the sea... Why lar people must burn burn burn causing our life to be miserable?


We got to our room by 3pm. This chair caught my attention. It's so cute at a corner. I ask hubby to bring it home with us hahahahah...

The view from my hotel room... We cuci mata for a while but I quickly got bored of it. I was surprise to see so many ang-moh around...

Spectacular view from the balcony... There was an infinity pool in front of our room and then the sea beyond that.

2 chairs for us to lounge around but it was so HOT I quickly closed the glass door & stayed indoor hahaah

Reading lazily on the bed... hubby was super happy as the wifi connection was superb. Even got huge LCD TV in the room.

As a true Asian, typically Chinese, we only go out ~ 5pm when it's not so hot & all the ang moh has re-treated to their room... Walk barefoot by the beach, feeling the sand between my toes, swam in the sea (the water was so warm), listening to the waves...

FOOD! I'll start with something more cheerful... I LOVED BUFFET! The rooms came with 2 complimentary buffet breakfast. Here's a happy me enjoying free food!

ah... croissant with butter yummmm

Now moving on to a more unhappy me... because of the services this hotel staff provide, or the lack of. When we walk into the Restaurant, called Elements, there was no one at the entrance to show us our table. Then we were given the menu, with very limited choices...

We had a hard time getting the waiters attention $%&*^%@! ... after a long time, we finally ordered our food, the waiter said something about bringing the food out at once except for our dessert, I was not paying much attention & just said yes. So after waiting for quite sometime, although not many patrons, the food was served, ALL AT THE SAME TIME! How can appetizer, main course & dessert be served at the same time??!! I asked politely for him to serve the dessert after we finished our meal & he looked puzzled. WTF! The staff are just not educated, totally not equipped for the job.

Our appetizer was Duck Frivosomething (I forgot the name) RM16. It was very nice. I like it a lot.Exceeded my expectation... nice greensHubby ordered Chicken Teriyaki RM24, for a pan fried sweet si-yiu Chicken with vege & garlic rice. Tasted so-so only lar... nothing special just very expensive.I ordered Fish & Chips RM24. Nothing to rave about, but the tartar sauce was nice. The most value for money dessert, Ice-cream of our choice, Vanilla... with lotsa fruits for only RM4.50. We were only expecting a scoop of ice-cream but instead we got strawberry, guava, mango, kiwi, pineapple, jambu & grapes too. It was fun dipping the fruits in the ice-cream & eating it. I will order this if I ever came back.After dinner, we took a walk... It was very quiet & nobody was in sight, feels as if you have the entire place to yourself! What more can one asks for?

Quite dark ooo...

Overall I enjoyed this trip, as long as I don hav to deal with the staff there. And please la put a door at the shower area to keep the WC area dry. I wouldn't pay the normal rack rate of RM700+ for the room though. It really wasn't worth that much.
