Shangri La - La La La...

I was in Kota Kinabalu on 27th – 28th May for the 3rd Sabah Gas Forum, organized by SBO. The forum was very well organized, and the hotel I stayed in – Shangri La Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa, is beyond expectation!

I have been to many hotels but none (so far) can surpass this hotel. The hospitality is superb! The hotel is just 10 minutes away from the KK International Airport, but due to construction works along the road, it took about 20 minutes to reach the hotel. After the 2 ½ hour flight (plus 1 hour drive from office to KLIA), I was weary and exhausted and all I wanted to do just to have a nice warm bath and lie down on a comfy bed.

But when I arrived at the hotel and greeted by a staff even before I step out from my cab, my weariness went away. Instead of being I-am-tired-and-not-interested-to-talk-or-smile-, I became Miss All-Smiling-and-Friendly. But the best part had yet to come. I was ushered not to the reception counter, but to the stylish sofa placed at the reception area. The best thing about this hotel is you don’t have to stand by the counter for the check-in; in fact they come to you! All you have to do is sit back and relax on the sofa and enjoy a glass of limed water, just like I did. Very impressive!

The moment I stepped into my room, I fell in love instantly. The room is spacious, and warmly decorated, and facing a mini golf course and the South China Sea. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my camera, but I managed to snap few pictures using my camera phone. :)

And look at the view, it's breathtaking!

Just when I thought I couldn’t be impressed more, the phone inside my room rang 10 minutes after I entered. And it was the front desk, asking me if the room is satisfactory and whether I need any assistance. Cool eh?

- to be contd, Amer buat perangai lagi. Hmm, nak kena nyanyi "Amer Bobok" ke? -

PETRONAS is at risk?

Read <here>

I personally don't like this, the "interference" in the running of the company. God knows what their interest is all about.

Rumor has it. Whether it's true or not, I can only hope "these people" know what they are doing.
All these while, Petronas has managed to remain free for any direct or indirect political interference. The formula works perfectly, so why need to "fix the unbroken"?

Please, do not smudge the company's integrity and reputation.
For heaven's sake, think of the poor people in the country, the anak-anak yatim...

I pray to Allah, and let's pray with me.

- work for the company -

Amer Bobok

Tgh syok dok surf net. Amer buat perangai.
Nangis tiba-tiba. Screaming out of his lung.
Pujuk, dukung, riba, dodoi, bagi susu semua tak jalan.

Until, I sing this to his ear....
"Amer bobok, Amer bobok.. Dududududududu dudu dudu dudu..."

Terus tido.

Aik, takkan nak bibik dia kot. Haaa, sudah.

But wait till you hear the full version of the lullaby.

"Amer bobok, Amer bobok...Kalau tidak bobok, digigit nyamuk.... "
"Nyamuk ape, nyamuk malaria, nyamuk malaria hisap darah Amer........."

Erk.

* Bobok = Tidur in Indonesian language

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amer is now 6 mths old. Feels like only yesterday i held him in my arms for the first time.
These are the latest pics of him. Look at my boy, isn't he adorable? :)

Well, they are not exactly the same, but they do look alike, isn't it? The left pic is Anis, she was about 5 months old when the pic was taken, and the right one is Amer, flashing his tiny little thing.
Hehe, so damn cute !

ASTRO - macam2 ada?

Memang la macam-macam ada....charges pun macam2 ada...

1. Reconnection Fee : RM 20.00 for re-activating the suspended/terminated subscription
2. Switching Fee : RM 10.00 for downgrading/changes of package at the same price

Yang no 1 tu memang la dah tau (and I totally disagree!). Yang no 2 tu I just found out when I wanted to add Fun package to my ASTRO subscription. Nak tukar/ add package pun kena charge???? Dah la monthly fees mahal nak mampus. Dah tu, time hujan bukannya ade satellite signal.

Ni yang rasa cam nak bukak stesen TV sendiri ni...
