15.07.2011 - MDD Subang Jaya Annual Dinner 2011

Today was seriously a very rushing day.

Went to the office to finish off some urgent work in the morning but I was late to office at 8.30am.

Then I have to rush to the airport at 11.30am to catch my flight at 2.05pm.

I was invited to participate in Mamee-Double Decker Distribution (M) S/B Subang Jaya Annual Dinner 2011.

Due to transportation problem arising after we had reached LCCT informed earlier by my manager, Mr David, I was forced to repack my luggage into only one.

I wouldn't wanna risk bringing and carrying around so many bags.

Moreover, I am gonna be at Subang for only one day.

Reached T2 at around 12.45pm.

There were so many people scanning their luggages and bags, checking in, waiting for their flight.

The airport was crowded that day~

I had to wear my dinner attire with full makeup before even boarding the plane.

Well, this is because we will be heading straight to the dinner place after we touched down at LCCT @.@

Entering the waiting lounge for my flight, and I received my Sarawak colleague's, Zuraina sms.

Her flight was delayed til 3.55pm~~~ (argh, this is so not good~)

It was dizzling the time when the plane was about to depart.

I'm starting to get sleepy after being seated at my seat.

Magazines and catalogues inside Air Asia Plane.

The cloud today are super thick~

The girl who was sitting behind me said "Look at those clouds~ like a big field of comfy pillows, I wanna just roll and sleep on it~"

I have the same feeling as her =)

The plane constantly went into the clouds and went right out from it after that.

It was kinda......FUN. (LOL.)

We reached the dinner place at 7.30pm.

Where Datuk was presenting his speech on stage.

Not only we were late, I felt uneasy when everyone was staring at us the time we walk in to find a seat.

The annual dinner was held at SJK (C) Chee Wen's hall.

The building itself is very huge, with few floors available, our dinner place was on the 2nd floor.

Everyone was given a party mask and a door gift upon arriving at the hall.

The theme for tonight's dinner was "Masquerade Night".

The door gift turns out to be a Mamee mug.

I only realized that this annual dinner was mainly meant for the workers at Subang company and factory.

50% of them are foreigners while 50% of them are locals.

There were dance performances by the workers and karaoke competition held for the office employees.

I was actually enjoying the Hindustan music because it make me wanna stand up and dance with them.

The dinner of the night was buffet style and was fully catered.

This is how the event looked like.

When the event was over, we were sent to Summit Hotel.

It was already 11.30pm.

We hurried check in and prepare ourselves for bath.

I cannot wait to get to bed and sleep~

This is my look for today's dinner.

I love my casual Cheong Sam dress.

And I love my eye liner~

owh well, everything's gonna come off after I take my bath.

Better take some SS photos for the last time before it's all gone.

This is the best part of the bathroom.

For the first time in my 23 years, I was actually taking my bath in a bathtub for the first time.

I've always imagine what was the feel of taking a bath in one of these, and now I finally know.

It was so good I can almost sleep inside it~~ (Ahhhhhhh.)

Too bad there was no bubble bath soap available.

I wanna have one of this in my future home for sure.

The mirror and sink are big enough =)

Very beautiful packing for all the toilet essentials =)

(I'mma gonna take everything home with me tomorrow morning, LOL.)

Our room passes and door cards.

Some 3 in 1 drinks just in case you're looking for hot drinks.

This is how our hotel room looks like.

Compared to our last trip to Melacca in 2009 back then, this room is so much comfier and cozy.

The night view of Subang from our hotel room.

There's a mini fridge inside the room, just in case you would like to store some chill item.

A group of switches for all the lighting and air-con in the room.

A list of tv channels for reference.

A girl's best friend in the hotel would definitely be the mirror.

This hotel room consists of 3 big mirrors and my favourite would be this one where I can see my whole self =)

The morning view of Subang from our hotel room.

We unexpectedly woke up at 6am =.=

Zuraina couldn't sleep with the lights off so I have to left the one near the door switched on til morning.

Even the TV was switched on til morning.

Honestly, I didn't get much rest the whole night as I was constantly waking and sleeping the whole time.

We head to the nearby shops to have our breakfast at Paparich.

Thereafter, we head to KLIA at 11am.

The journey was not a short one, Zuraina's manager, Mr Jason even fell asleep and snored inside the car.

I can't sit peacefully inside the car because the way KL people drive is so S.C.A.R.Y.

Even Zuraina holds my hand from time to time.

First time stepping into KLIA.

They have many of these self-check in machines.

The big screen that showed all the departures time for all destinations.

Even the check-in counter are a little confusing because there're so many of them and every one of it are different~

The whole airport was super huge, me and Zuraina didn't have enough time to walk the whole of it.

Travelling back to KK with Firefly, AK 0514 - 12:50pm.

I did not get the chance to take any photos with Zuraina during the dinner.

I was too exhausted and super not in the mood to do anything that night.

Finally I requested a photo together before we separated to our own departure hall.

(Ignore my sick and pale face + dark circles and baggy eyes, I felt a little unwell that day, probably is because I did not get enough sleeps.)

We have to move downstairs for the departure.

More branded shops for souvenirs and purchases downstairs.

KLIA has this special moving escalator which I liked to walk on.

My first flight with Firefly =)

I love how there's this tunnel that leads you directly to the entrance of the plane =)

Some magazines and catalogues of Firefly.

My super tired face =.=||

I'mma gonna take some rest on the plane.

My manager who is sitting two seats away beside me is not talking much, I can see that he is also tired.

KL was so hazy you can see it clearly from the plane.

Lunch set on Firefly.

I had fish chop and vegetables with noodles for lunch =)

Firefly is not as good as I've expected.

Two things I like about Firefly.

(1) Their aircraft crew are super friendly and nice.

(2) The airport management, facility and system are far more better than Air Asia.

Other than that, the rest of it are just poorer than Air Asia =.=

I didn't get to rest much throughout the whole journey as the engine was so loud and noisy~~

Another reason would probably is because Mr David was sitting two seats away from me as well.

No matter how many times I board the plane, I will always L.O.V.E the feel when the plane takes off and fly up into the sky.

Firefly's route is somewhat different, because during the 5-10 minutes before the plane landed on KK ground, it was somewhat flying so low in the sky that all the buildings and houses and cars looked like monopoly item from my window~

It's my first time looking at something like that and I did not even capture any photos~

The landing was very rough, I got shocked til I jumped from my seat.

I even heard the sound of certain things that fell before the plane comes to a complete stop.

My first impression towards Firefly is seriously not that good. (minus the food part though.)

The best event that took place during the dinner was the lucky draw session.

Upon registration at the main door, you will be entitled with a lucky draw token.

I'm so grateful with this number that night, because this lucky number made me took RM1000 home.

I keep told Zuraina that I won't go up the stage to claim my prize even if my number was called when the lucky draw session just started.

And when the last person took away the grand prize which was a big Toshiba 32' flat screen tv, I was actually relieved that my number wasn't been called. (LOL.)

I was feeling super sleepy my eyes were hardly opened, with my face super oily and abit of backaches, I just wished that everything could end quickly so that we can all go back to the hotel and sleep.

Just when the crowds started to stand up and head to the exit, the MC suddenly asked everyone to sit back because one of HQ's manager decided to take out RM1000 cash as a special lucky draw prize.

Everyone was excited upon hearing so and that was when the suspense begin.

Several numbers were called but it turned out to be "boogie".

After 4 or 5 numbers, suddenly the MC shouted out "8~9~1~7~...." and pause for a long time.

I suddenly looked at Zuraina with a very tense face, and Zuraina was holding my hand tide with her eyes widen.

When the last number was mentioned.... "9~~~~~~", my jaw dropped instantly in disbelief~

Zuraina squeaked a little and my whole body shivered from head to toe.

Everyone was shouting "boogie" while the MC was looking for the possible winner.

I suddenly got the courage to stand up and hurriedly walk towards the stage.

Mr David and some of the HQ managers who was sitting at the other table recognized me all shouted out loud "NAAAAAAAA" til the whole hall can hear their voices while pointing their fingers at me.

And when I came down from the stage, all of them were already standing around my table with very wide smiles welcoming me. (LOL.)

Even Mr David happily teases me non-stop~

hahaha...yay?

This is my first ever lucky draw prize in 23 years =)

Thank you Mamee for this pleasant memory.
