Happy Chinese New Year to all my friends and Family.

I refuse to stop blogging, even though I have contemplated to do so lately.
The sense of obligation to complete an entry finally creeps in to me.

This would be my first post for 2010 and the year of the Metal Tiger.

Last year, I celebrated my cny inside the plane to Rome for my honeymoon.
This year, my first CNY with family after marriage...spent 2 nights at home.

Short and sweet. Wouldn't mind this at all, since I can't go anywhere without the crazy madness holiday traffic. I found out that going to the other side of the island (Batu Ferringhi) was as crazy as going downtown.

Since Ingolf was closed for cny (didn't know german also celebrate cny), we headed for The Ship at Ferringhi only to be caught in a crawling traffic 2 minutes after heading down.
So we made a U-turn and headed to an unknown restaurant serving western food along bagan jermal (next to Subaidah) . Food was below par, if not sucks !

But then again, all my loved ones are with me for a simple dinner that night and that is
ALL THAT MATTER to me !!!!

who cares if the food sucks big time....

The Bank's Annual Sales Convention was held at Equatorial Penang a week before CNY.


We had a marching session at Han Chiang's stadium and this sure reminds me of school days.

Waited almost 2 hours for the VIPs to arrive and this is not very fun at all when you had to arrive at the hotel at 11pm, slept at 2 am and wake up call at 5am !!

The bus driver missed a turn, got lost and could not find his way to EQ that night.
I was summoned to help the driver find his way back, naturally.

It has been almost 10 years since I last went to the Hotel and it's already dark. With my lousy sense of direction, I could not figure out where we were for the first 10 minutes.
So I lead the bus to a 1 round merry-go-round and back to square one.

Damn ! This is very embarrassing.

The bus driver gave a sigh of dissapointment.....

It's not that easy when you are giving direction inside to a Bas Persiaran driver, ok.
Under a lot of pressure as each turn you say, has to be correct.
If it is wrong, the bus can't just made a U-turn like a kancil.


So we arrived late that night...dirty, tired, sleepy and a bit hungry.

But appreciate that the organizers made a room service of friend rice to all our rooms that night.

Enough of traveling for now.....2 trips to pg in 2 weeks with a total of 20 hours traveling time.

It's till cny....so GONG XI FA CAI ya'll !!!
