Thanks ya'll

FYI. I have left Astro after 3 years and 6 months for a better opportunity elsewhere and still, I am sort of in the limb if it was a good choice or otherwise. I will be missing the free parking lot, the very conveniently located cafeteria and the famous faces you see in the hallways.

And these people:

Double celebration at work and we got cake!

One half of the gang and mister boss.

Purple and me. We bonded while watching Miss Universe 2010.

Elephant fetish Daus.

Nalini and myself made plans to go for a drink the day before, and Chitra and Shalini were awesome enough to join at the last minute.

Movida Cheras Selatan it is! And Chitra was due to work the next morning.

Nalz and myself at a bar, almost 2 years since our IOI Mall excursion.

Mirza and I celebrating at Mid Valley. He calls me honey/bini and I counterback with sayang/laki. All at work only though.

Mimie and I. We went to London together for the Olympics. *not the London in UK, the presentation studio next door*

Rina and us. She paid for my supper that very night.

Sheau Jing and I at 6am in the morning. She practically dragged me out for supper that night knowing we probably won't see each other at work anymore.

Yet another 6am look with Daniel.

Sharmi! We were both itching to have our pics taken since news broke I was leaving.

Feeling the love from Kamales as well. To think we were in the same group for almost 2 years and only bonded 2 months ago.

New car! It's not mine. But I drove it!

Vee Howe and his turquoise Wira. I shall add I also drove his car once because he didn't know the way around Sri Petaling. He frequently trained me when I first started working.

That blue car again.

Sunther and Sures also joined.

Sri and myself and the blue car that has to be in the center of attention. Kidding. I'll miss that car.

Deeni and I on my first day of unemployment. She really made sure I'll come back to the office for a photo.

Purp and her cousin Audrey, who is also leaving.

Deeni, Sarah - my roomie in Langkawi and JB, Nalz and Maria.

Sayang and myself.

Mike also had a farewell celebration for me at Bubba Gump, Sunway.

And we could barely finish the chocolate chip sundae. I had it with my cousin Bea once and didn't finish it either.

I didn't get to see Saiful since the beginning of July, and I don't know why he sent me this Raya photo of himself. But I'll throw it in for a good measure because he has been one of the most sporting PIC at work.

And a huge thank you to both Khor and Teng who also took me out for a farewell dinner. All of you kick ass!

Dear Economics

You can go straight to hell when the semester ends.

Melaka trip rant

This past Monday, I drove down to Melaka for a much needed break, thinking I could drown myself in food at all the famous cafes and stalls in town. I haven't been there since I was about 10 during a family trip and it turned out pretty okay. So instead of vacationing in Port Dickson again, it was decided Melaka was a decent option.

I stayed in Hotel Mimosa, the same one I stayed when I was a kid. I still recognize it - it was nestled between shophouses and nearby Jonker Street and the Capitol Satay Celup store. Room was okay, small but tidy enough for my liking.

I reached on a Monday afternoon, and for dinner, I'd walk to Jonker Street and find whatever food I can find there. Except it was closed. Go figure. So I walked around aimlessly with Waze as my guide - and somehow, I arrived at the Satay Celup store at Lorong Bukit Cina. The long queue didn't bother me, I was just contented I stumbled upon a famous place to eat. Even had time to drop by Big Bowl Ice store for dessert - just a few shops down the road.

Breakfast at the hotel on Tuesday morning, well, put it this way, it is a small hotel after all so I didn't expect breakfast like the one at Cyberview Lodge. Anyways, I was stoked to head out to Jonker Street for some goodies. I had the cendol at Jonker 88. I liked it and for the price, I liked it even more =)

Not knowing where else to go, I wandered around the street, then I started to get antsy, so I drove to Mahkota Parade. The highlight of my day was getting my Vincci heels size 4 (Mid Valley only had size 5 and above) and a pretty bracelet. 

Ohh, and I had Nando's for dinner.

Yes, the Nando's chicken chain store. There is one 15 minutes away from my apartment.

I couldn't wait to leave. I could only heave a sigh of relief after I checked out on Wednesday morning. But before I left the town, I thought I'd try the Nedeje mille crepes nearby Mahkota Parade. I like cakes, so why not.

Except it was closed. The company had a teambuilding on the same day.

Wanna know where I had Nedeje mille crepes then? Petaling Jaya's Three Two Square.

Ya.
