Annual Dinner @ Mutiara Hotel, Batu Feringgi, Penang

WooooooooHooooooooooooo!! My very FIRST Annual Dinner in my life and also my first time to Batu Feringgi!! A Great and Wonderful Trip and Experience!!

Here goes the details of my 2 days 1 night trip to Penang...

21/01/2006 (Saturday)
My colleagues reached my house at 10am.. 5 of us had our breakfast - Seafood Pork Slices Mee @ OUG.. Enjoyed our breakfast a lot with the talking, laughing and especially the teasing!! Luckily I'm not the target of being teased, I'm well protected by them!! Haha!! =) Lots of opinion by them towards the mee, anyway, don't care!! Haha =p Then thought of wanted to have a walk at the Pasar nearby as it is still early, my manager will only able to reach office at 11 something, anyway at last, we decided to go yamcha at 'MingTin' nearby our office.. After the yamcha session, we went to office and wait for my manager to come.. So we just wait there, chit chatting and listening to music...

Off we started our journey to Penang at 12pm... The journey is not really that LONG and BORING as i expected.. Mainly because most of the time I was sleeping and enjoying the mp3 (Thanks to Kim Che Che) in the car.. Haha!! Sleeping is very important to me!! =p Had a quick lunch at Ipoh as we're running out of time, we have to reach there at 6.30pm for the cocktail at the Ballroom Foyer.. Reached our hotel at 5.45pm and we need to get ready by 6.15pm.. Can you imagine how rush were we?? Had a quick bath, changing and put on make-up (a simple one) then 'ding dong' my room bell rang and the guys were waiting for us outside already... SMART!! They looked SMART and HANDSOME!! Haha..

Took us around 20 mins to reach Mutiara Hotel and then we headed to the Ballroom.. And WOW!!! 40 over tables in the ballroom and Everyone looked so different that night, can't really recognise who is whom and we're all like, 'Oh, she is Miss X!!' or 'Har?? Just now that one was Miss Y??'... They looked so gorgeous in their dress with their just-nice make-up!! All handsome gentlemen and pretty ladies..!! Simple and Nice!! And our seat/table is very strategic!! Haha.. It was in the middle and facing straight to the stage!! HAHA.. It is really much much much much much MORE GRAND than I expected!! *Clapps* to all the members in Club4U for such a GREAT job!! The events such as games, performance, show and also the lucky draw were really FUNNY, INTERESTING and EXCITING!! My colleagues won the FIRST prize in one of the game, we were all cheering and shouting to give him our FULL support.. Haha.. Pity him, being forced to go up the stage for the game by my Director!! But not bad, he and his gf won the FIRST prize!! HAHA!! Funny!! We even recorded it.. Hahahahhaa... And not to mention the MC, he is really good in talking, joking and 'creating the heat atmosphere'.. *Thumbs Up*

And also, they drank like nobody's business.. 'Cheers' and 'Bottom Up' is the magic word for the whole night.. As u all know, I can easily feel dizzy after I drink beer therefore I tried my best to escape from the beer but then THANKS to my manager, I'm forced to drink.. A little bit only la anyway.. Hehe... But FUN!! Really fun seeing them challenging each other and I really have to say that... Some of my colleagues are GOOD DRINKER!! Kinda admire them for that... So 'Man'... HAHAHAHAHAHA.... =p

The dinner over at 12am.. And we planned for 2nd round!! Drank so much but still can go for 2nd round!! *Tabik* We decided to go back to the hotel first for changing then only we go for supper.. Some 'funny' incident happened.. Difficult to explain here but really, very funny!! LOL... Anyway, went to eat 'Hokkien Loh' at Green House, Jalan Burma if I'm not mistaken.. Quite good!! Really can eat a lot... I'm able to finish it tho I'm already very full after the annual dinner!! Haha =p Then 3rd round!! Ya, we're crazy!! Ate Satay and Fried 'Kapa' (I don't know the spelling).. Yummy!!But I didn't really eat much that time as my stomach was too too TOO FULL!!! Cannot torture it anymore or else I will vomit everything out.. ^_^

Back to hotel and sleep at 3 something.. Oh ya, the hotel is good!! Seaside view!! Sooooo BEAUTIFUL!!! Hehehehehehehe... =)

22/01/2006 (Sunday)
Woke up at 8.30am.. Checked out then go for breakfast @ Sister.. One of the famous Chao Kuey Teow Stall at Penang.. Quite special the taste and quite nice also... Tried the Otak-Otak and 'Wu Tao Gou'.. Yummy!!! Then they brought me to buy the 'Dau Sha Beng'.. BIG Thanks to them.. =) Then we went for Cendol.. Ya!! Cendol!! I myself also cannot believe that I ATE CENDOL!! Hahaha... I can be easily persuaded and influenced.. That cendol stall is the MOST FAMOUS cendol stall in Penang and how can I miss it?? I wanted to know how good is it... Erm.. Not bad!! But I didn't finish it.. Keke... Thought of want to try the Asam Laksa but I'm too full and my stomach was not feeling well... My colleagues said it was NICE!! I should tapao back like what my colleague did!! Anyway, as I need to back home early, so after the cendol we straight away start our journey to go back to KL...!!! Reached home at around 4pm... Sooooooooo Tired...

Overall, my trip to Penang and my first annual dinner is GREAT!! Really, Enjoy the time being together with my colleagues... All the talking and laughing and teasing and everything!! The trip will not be so GREAT without them being together with me I believe!! They are really caring and sweet and they really take a very very good and well care of me!! Really THANKS so much to them... So SWEET and I really appreciate that!! Great time, Great trip, Great Experience and GREAT COLLEAGUES!! Love them lots... *Muacks*
